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.
Superbe service pour un première fois. Le restaurateur a pris le temps de répondre à toute nos questions de non-connaisseur par téléphone sans montrer d'impatience!
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.

Their dumplings taste ok (the pork & chives ones are better than the pork & green onion ones) but their food is not suitable for anybody who suffers from MSG allergies. We even asked for them to not use MSG in their food & they took our order, our payment & made the delivery with a note on the plate saying "Dear Customer: We cannot remove it." rejecting our request to not use MSG. They put a lot of MSG into their food to enhance the taste that it left a very strong aftertaste in our mouth afterwards. Our mouths were so dry & we were so thirsty after eating their dumplings that we had to drink several bottles of water to quench ourselves. So if you suffer severe MSG allergies, it's best to avoid ordering from this place. Otherwise the food is fine. Our favourite is their potherb mustard & edamame beans. It's really good. If they can cook it without the sesame oil & cook the edamame beans a bit more, it would be even better.
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!
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 😉

Best dumplings I ever had!! I am sick & this is exactly what a comfort food is! The lamb & coriander is so tasty you can tell it's homemade even with the way the dumplings are folded, you know someone took their time & heart for them! Thank you!
