Amazing business with amazing food! It has that warm charm that makes you feel like everything is prepared with genuine care & love. I tried their steamed dumplings, & they were to die for. The prices are fantastic for the amount of food you get, & the lady who served us is an absolute sweetheart. First place I'll come back to the next time I'm in Montreal!
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!
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

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
Delicious & filling dumplings for a very good price. Definitely my go to dumpling place! They have a good variety of different dumplings. My favorite is the steamed pork & chive dumplings.
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.
