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.
