Absolutely amazing dumplings, & the best fried wontons I've had in my life too. Super friendly & fast service. I was in town visiting family & we put in a large to-go order right before closing & the services was fast, pleasant & the food was delicious.
Great little dumpling place in Westmount. We had the lamb & coriander dumplings steamed, the pork & leek dumplings fried, peanut dumpling & spicy cucumber for apps, & sesame balls to finish. Every single item was fresh, flavourful & well made.
Great variety of traditionally made steamed dumplings. They can also be fried if you prefer. The quality is decent & the taste & consistency is a winner. I have been here several times & the service varies during busy periods. All in all, a good place in the area for dumplings
I had the fried curry chicken dumplings made fresh which I enjoyed with the soya blend hot sauce on the table.The spring rolls are a great appetizer.The menu offers a variety of choices served with rice & salad. Simple seating & atmosphere but if you're hungry enjoy!

So the reason why I gave this place 5 stars for atmosphere is because it matches its value product offering - Meaning, they pricing is extremely fair & their quality, freshness, & portions as well as taste exceed their pricing. We had number 8 shrimp wonton soup for two with bok choy & noodles, with a sesame finish that was so excellent you don't even need to add soy or anything as the broth is beyond delicious. I could have a bowl of broth alone & be happy. The soup came with 8 sizeable wontons that were fantastic & juicy & filled with shrimp. 🍤 We then had number 35 dumpling filled with shrimp 🍤 , porc 🐖 & chives & it was cooked fried as you can tell. It needed no additional seasoning or sauce once again - a testament to their ability to create deep balanced umami flavours perfectly on its own without needing extras. The soup was $9.99 & the dumplings (15 of them) was $23.99 - well worth it. & we got two wonton cookies with the usual message inside & they were a great end to the meal. Next time we plan to try the chicken & mushroom dumplings & hope to have enough room to try the fried sesame balls with red bean paste inside. Yummy right! Very important to know, the owner is so genuine & sweet. She is so appreciative of her customers & runs around the restaurant keeping customers happy while making sure the cash & take out are also managed. enjoy all.
HIDDEN GEM ALERT! 💎 What an absolute find. This is a place that prides itself on its homemade, fresh, tasty dumplings. We ordered the #35, shrimp pork & chive dumplings. Immediately, you can tell the dumplings are hand made, fried or steamed to order. They're not even soup dumplings, but they are still juicy & full of flavor. They were served piping hot & we had all the right table ingredients to make dumpling sauce (soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil). When you open the dumplings, you can see pieces of whole shrimp, pork & chives, so you know it's real ingredients. Alex was extremely kind, hardworking & passionate. He was very friendly, fast service & knows his dumplings! I would keep coming here again & again. The inside of the restaurant is simple, very clean & feels very cozy. I hope people try this place. I hope this place becomes popular & people start coming here more & more. Give it a shot, you won't have regrets.
The service was perfect, the gentleman that served us was polite. & our food was prepared & a very timely manner. The peanut butter dumplings both fried & steamed were exceptional. The best peanut butter sauce I've had in a long time. We had the tofu, pork & shrimp dumplings which are all delicious. My 16-year-old had a matcha bubble tea which was not too sweet as most other bubble teas tend to be. Overall very pleased & highly recommend.
