I have wanted to try this place & finally got the chance to tonight. This place is phenomenal. It was my wife & my best meal in Montreal so far. Flavors were amazing. Loved the Szechuan peppercorn flavors. Soup dumplings were great. Such a great space & they were very accommodating for our 15 month old, thank you! This place is also insanely affordable for food you can't make yourself.

If you love trying new spots before everyone else, this one's for you 👀🔥

Maison Bao just landed in Montreal & it's already a fave ❤?
Straight from Toronto, this spot is serving fluffy baos, tiny viral dumplings, chocolate soup ones, super flavourful & comfort food done right 🥟 From casseroles, noodles & appetizers, everything is perfect for sharing, discovering new bites, & satisfying every craving 🍜✨

We visited Maison Bao due to the reviews & also seeing a recommendation from insta but we were disappointed.
The restaurant was totally empty when we visited, yet when we asked to sit at a table that wasn't facing the sun (as it was a warm day) we weren't allowed.
The menu didn't provide details of what was actually in the food so we ordered the soup dumplings & beef & onion dumplings.
They tasted ok but there are dumpling places nearby which are better.
We found out too late that the beef & onion dumplings have mushroom (which I'm allergic to), but they denied & said it was woodear (a type of mushroom).
Suffice to say we will not be returning & do not recommend visiting.

Chocolate soup dumpling 4/10 - cool gimmick but wouldn't get again
Boiled dumplings 0/10 we got the chicken & corn one but I just wouldn't get any boiled again cuz it's more about how they made it

Maison Bao est une franchise du Resto Bao House de Toronto. En promenant au Centre-Ville de Montreal, j'ai decouvert ce resto (pres du metro Guy Concordia, ligne verte STM). Tout comme le menu @ Toronto, il sert toutes sortes de dumplings : bouillies, grillees, des soupes aux nouilles, des casseroles de soupes & des petits plats d'entrees. En moyenne, le prix d'un plat principal est 12$ avant les taxes. Pour un groupe de 4 personnes & plus, mieux d'appeler pour une reservation. Venez les encourager. Au plaisir, Missy A.

The space is nice & the staff were genuinely warm & welcoming, which made for a great overall atmosphere. I tried the dumplings, takoyaki, fried tofu & a soup & while they were enjoyable, they didn't stand out much compared to similar dishes I've had elsewhere. That said, it's still a pleasant spot.

Great spot for affordable, good value Chinese food. They offer dumplings, noodles, & soup casseroles. The space is spacious, clean, & gets a lot of natural light from large glass panels. We came for Sunday lunch & the service was quick & efficient - very much in the style of dining in Asia, so don't expect staff to check in unless you flag them down. You order via QR code & food comes out quickly.
We ordered the pickled cucumber, steamed beef soup dumplings, steamed pork soup dumplings, & the crispy pork & meatball soup casserole. The soup casserole was the highlight - packed with Chinese herbal flavours & lots of good ingredients. The dumplings were decent for the price ($5.99 for 6), though we've had better elsewhere & they did taste pre-made.

Première fois que j'y vais, & tellement déçue. Les dumplings sont clairement congelés & non fait à la main. La pâte était trop épaisse & honnêtement ça ne goûtait pas bon point. Ça goûtait le lave vaisselle & je n'ai pas été capable de finir ma portion. Je ne suis pas difficile sur la nourriture, c'est la première fois que je mange quelque part & que je suis vraiment déçue. Allez à Sammi Soupe à la place…

Great casual spot for lunch downtown. We ordered the chicken noodle soup, 6 steamed beef soup dumplings, & the braised beef soup noodles. The braised beef soup noodles were the perfect for cold winter days lately. The broth was rich & flavorful, even after I asked for less spice. The service was great as well. Not only did we receive our food very quickly, but the servers regularly checked on us & offered napkins 🥟🙌

I was really not fond of the chicken in the noodles & chicken soup, it felt like it was reheated & from a cheap rotisserie chicken you can buy at the store.
However I think that the chicken was the only thing that was problematic, my friends took other dishes like the pork dumplings & another noodle dish which were tasty according to them.
The waiters were really nice & the location is ideal, next to the metro & Concordia university.
Also prices are good & you get good portions for what you pay for.

Bon prix & bonne bouffe! J'ai commandé les nouilles dandan; les dumplings à la soupe, sauce au curry; les takoyaki; le tofu frit épicé; & les dumplings au chocolat. Tout était excellent! Coup de coeur pour les takoyaki : une excellente portion pour le prix
