Really enjoyed the warm food on a cold winter night & the cozy ambiance was very homely & welcoming. I had the hot & sour soup, spring rolls, tempura shrimp rolls, chicken coriander steamed dumplings & shrimp, pork & chives dumplings. 10/10 will def visit again
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.
We often get dumplings from MeiWei. They're well-made. Pricey on "the delivery app" but not so much if you go pick it up. We usually order 4 kinds of dumplings with some sides for 3 people: tempura shrimp, spicy cucumber salad, etc. Everything is always good. The service is fine & lightning fast. Hard to speak on the atmosphere because it's a small place in Westmount. So if you like cozy & quiet you will enjoy it.
Stumbled upon this place & will definitely return! Alex was a very gracious server. Had 2 types of dumplings: vermicelli/spinach/chives & pork/shrimp/chives. Unless you're allergic, get the peanut sauce & thank me later 😉

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.
I've been eating here since it opened. I order the same dishes each time: shrimp tempura with katsu sauce, shrimp wonton soup & pickled cucumbers. They sent me the wrong sauce (plum sauce) & when I called to complain, he told me I was WRONG & they don't serve it with Katsu sauce, even though it's clearly listed on the menu (& I've been eating here since 2019). The man actually had the audacity to hang up on me! Clearly, I'm not making it up as I can see it says "with katsu sauce". I WILL NEVER BUY from here again. Shame on you, for treating your customers like garbage.
