I absolutely recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a cozy spot in the city! If you are a fan of authentic Shanghainese dim sum, the sweet meat xiao long bao here is a total game-changer. Each dumpling is expertly pleated with a thin, delicate skin that holds a surprising amount of rich, savory, & incredibly juicy soup inside. One bite, & you get that perfect explosion of flavor that defines a top-tier soup dumpling. Beyond the food, the interior decoration is truly one-of-a-kind. It's not your typical cookie-cutter restaurant; it has a distinctive character & a creative flair that makes the entire dining experience feel special. The lighting is warm & the layout creates an incredibly comfortable atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this small shop offers a level of quality & coziness that is hard to find elsewhere. I've been thinking about that broth ever since I left, & I'll definitely be coming back for my dumpling fix very soon

A multi-generational authentic dumpling restaurant. An older woman was making the dumplings by hand, a middle aged woman cooking them along with any gyoza that were ordered, & a young woman & man doing the waiting. In 10-20 years people will say it was even better when the older woman was still making the dumplings, do yourself a favor & go eat here now while it is in its prime! The prices are extremely resonable & I loved the Chinkiang vinegar they had as a dipping sauce.

Agréablement surprise!

J'avais envie de bons soup dumplings & je n'en avait pas trouvé de satisfaisants avant de trouver Petit Poisson Dumpling.

L'endroit est très petit & je crois que cela fait son charme. Nous avons été accueillis dès notre entrée & avons été présentés à une table immédiatement, un samedi soir autour de 20h30. Un exploit sur St-Laurent! Service très rapide, le personne était accueillant, souriant, prêt à répondre.

50$ pour 2 personnes, c'était parfait. Jy retourne assurément!

We are looking for a place to eat after being on the plane for more than 10 hours, & this place definitely hit the spot! Even from Chinese standards, I will say the taste is pretty authentic & definitely high quality. You can taste the freshness since all dumplings are made freshly on the site. We especially like their lamb dumplings & cold dishes. The staff are also very friendly!
