The menu emphasizes traditional preparations, including both steamed and pan-fried variations that highlight the authentic textures and savory profiles of regional Asian cuisine.

Each batch is shaped by hand, ensuring consistency and adherence to time-honored techniques that define the core product.

Oh Dumplings is widely recognized for serving delicious, freshly handmade dumplings and generous portions that offer excellent value for the price. While many guests praise the authentic flavors and quality of dishes like the General Tao chicken and various noodle plates, experiences regarding service can vary significantly. Some visitors enjoy attentive and friendly interactions, whereas others note inconsistent wait times, staffing challenges, and varying attitudes toward tipping. The atmosphere is generally considered casual and unpretentious, making it a popular spot for a quick lunch or group dining in Chinatown, though some guests have expressed mixed feelings about specific menu items or cleanliness levels.
We experienced the worst customer service in Montreal in this place. Rude staff, it seems as if staff here is annoyed by tourist. Our questions were met with side eyes & annoyed faces. We only wanted to try the dumplings, 1 order came with 15 so we thought that was more than enough for 3 people, (my 4 year old wasn't going to eat), the lady told us she couldn't only give us that, it was a small order it wasn't worth her time. I was shocked!, but we still wanted to give this place a try & we order a plate of general TSO chicken. We order the 15 dumplings mixed, chicken & pork. She told us once they are made we will not be able to tell the difference... She was right... everything tasted the same.... We asked for spicy sauce & again where met with rude comments outpointing the extra price.
At the end, when I was paying I skipped the tip & the lady told me I had to leave tip for the service. Here is where I might ruffle feathers, I'm of the opinion that a tip is given for GOOD services, above & beyond service, IT IS NOT something you get just because you work at a restaurant/bar. I WILL NOT GIVE YOU A TIP FOR RUDE SERVICE.
I do not recommend this establishment to any tourist visiting china town in Montreal.
Went to Oh Dumplings on Rue Bishop in Montreal & couldn't fault it. From the really tasty dumplings & general Tao chicken, to the side bits (sesame bean sprouts especially) & great range of drinks, everything was amazing. Add in the really attentive waiting staff & this is a place I want to go back to again & again.
I only picked up some frozen dumplings. They are excellent. We had 2 packets for two people (pork & shrimp, chicken & cabbage) & found that sufficient.

Really great spot to get fresh made dumplings, pork cabbage were awesome. Other plates were on point as well. Beef & broccoli, general tao, rice noodles & chicken, chicken fried rice. Portions were generous. Prices far, service on point & it was packed when we walked in. These guys are use to being busy & pushing out great food.
My partner & I went on a Sunday afternoon, & we were served by a pleasant young waitress. We ordered the spicy beef & peanut soup --a definite favourite of ours. We also had a side of chicken & cabbage dumplings which were tasty. The prices are always easy on the pocket, which we appreciate!
UPDATE (01/13/2026)
I'm not removing my first-time review, this update is just me giving this place another chance, & this time I came with my family.
I'll be completely honest: this visit was much better. We were all satisfied & full, & I finally got to try their new special dumplings. Hot, very tasty, & perfect for the gloomy winter weather. There was almost no wait, & the food came out within just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, my family didn't get to try their fried rice because the chef who makes it was on break/vacation. But overall, my family was happy & satisfied, & for that reason I'm increasing my star rating.
Definitely a better experience this time around!
(First Review / First Experience) ★★★☆☆
We decided to try Oh Dumplings in Chinatown, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
First thing to point out the service was very slow. We took into consideration that there were other people at the restaurant, but the delays were still hard to justify. Our order included Beef & Coriander Dumplings, Fish & Coriander Dumplings, General Tao Chicken, Chicken Noodles, Vegetable Fried Rice, & Wonton Soup.
The dumplings came out after about 15-20 minutes, followed by the General Tao shortly after. But then, we waited around 40-45 minutes for the rest of our food. By the time the noodles & fried rice arrived, we had already finished the dumplings & General Tao, sitting at an empty table for almost an hour just waiting for the rest. At that point, we honestly lost our appetite.
The food itself is okay nothing mind-blowing but decent. The dumplings were flavorful, especially with the coriander touch. The General Tao was on the sweeter side, which may not be for everyone. The fried rice & noodles were fine, but after waiting so long, we didn't really enjoy them as much as we could have.
Overall if you have patience & time to spare, the food is passable, but nothing about the taste justifies that long of a wait. We likely won't be returning anytime soon unless they improve the service speed.
We ordered variety of dumplings, beef with broccoli, chicken with onion & ginger & Tao chicken. Food was excellent, preparation was fresh & quick. We had a great time.
Awesome lunch spot! We are visiting from Texas & wanted to try dumplings. We got the chicken & Chinese cabbage dumplings as well as the General Tao's tofu. Both were amazing. The portions were big & the service was awesome. I would highly recommend Oh Dumplings.
