Cela fait plusieur fois que l'on vien & je n'ai jamais été décu! Nos choix préféré son boeuf, oignon, & fromage & la soupe wonton est tout sinplement délicieuse! Notre restaurant préféré de dumplings! À tous simplement s'en mettre plein la bouche!
It took awhile for us to get our food, so maybe the waiting created unreasonable expectations? In any case, the dumplings had a meh factor. We ordered a bunch & only finished 1/3. The peanut butter wontons upset our tummy's unfortunately. The pan fried dumplings tasted better than the steamed.
My kids & I love to go here. It's our go to dumpling spot very fresh & delicious. The only issue is the pricing is a bit too expensive but other than that lovely restaurant!
The food tasted good. We ordered the Chef Choice, a combination of different dumpling chosen by the chef. I had steamed, my Mom had pan fried. Mom had food poisoning. We can't identify which flavour because there was a mix. Won't be dining here again.

I have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now, & they never disappoint. The food is always delicious, fresh & consistent. The dumplings are hand made in view of the customer, & this detail is much appreciated! The decoration is beautiful & simple creating & intimate & warm ambiance to enjoy your delicious dumplings! A staple of the West Island, I believe everyone should take a moment to enjoy the food here. They will always get a 5/5, & I will keep coming back as I just can't get enough! The portions are amazing too, you get quite a bit of dumplings in your steamer which makes for delicious leftovers if you can't eat it all!
On a cold winter day, this place hit the spot perfectly. Everything was freshly made on the spot. The soup dumplings were comforting & flavorful, the fried dumplings were crispy & delicious, & the peanut butter dumplings were surprisingly amazing - so good & perfectly balanced. Cozy, satisfying, & definitely worth coming back for!
Honestly the best dumplings i've ever eaten & for a cheap price too. Everytime i go to Montreal i make a stop there. The service is always super fast & the restaurant is family friendly.
Love this place! Been going for a few years now! Always fresh & delicious! If you go there during a rush, you will have to wait longer because they are literally making the dumplings to order. They are filling the dumplings as you order them, so please have some patience!
Also their frozen take home dumplings are great!

One of our favorite spots for dumplings in the city! Dumpling made on the spot & you can watch it happen. Incredible flavor, service & home cooked meal vibes.
I have to say I wasn't too impressed with the dumplings. They were mid, just okay & not a lot of choices for pescatarian.
The peanut butter dumplings were also not too great.
I wouldn't go back to this dumpling place, there are sooo many more all around that taste a lot better.
One thing I did like is that their dumplings were not overcooked with the steam & stayed a little firm.
Service wasnt too bad either, but they can pay a little more attention to their customers.
