The dumplings were soft, flavorful, & literally melted in my mouth. The hot & sour soup was perfectly balanced, & the spring rolls were crispy & delicious.
Everything tasted fresh & high quality - highly recommend checking this place out!
The best! Their steamed dumplings are so good & always leave us wanting to come back again for more. Very sweet staff & speedy service, not to mention great prices for the amount of food. I'd recommend coming in the early afternoon or evening as the local high school kids can be a bit much after they finish school for the day (around 3:00pm/15heur) if they're there. Will definitely be back again soon!

Very kind workers, very delicious food, our plates were cleared in 30 minutes. 10/10, would recommend. Unpretentious & homely in the best way. Will return!
Great dumplings & very friendly people. I definitely recommend trying it out, the juicy pork soup dumplings were delicious. The place is very small though, so keep that in mind, but there is outdoor seating!
C'est le meilleur restaurant où je me suis rendu à Montréal ! Je trouve même le prix trop bas par rapport à la qualité de la nourriture ! Les deux propriétaires sont des anges !!
J'y retournerai les yeux fermés !! À recommander !!
Sincèrement conquis par cet endroit !
Les meilleurs dumplings à MTL ever, & je sais de quoi je parle parce que j'ai habité Manhattan & j'en ai mangé beaucoup des dumplings.lol ! Alex donne un service hors-pair, je recommande fortement! Mes préf: poulet coriandre 🥟
5 stars across the board. Service is warm, friendly & inviting. Food is very good, quick to come out & all for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend stopping in!
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.
