Petit Poisson Dumpling is praised for fresh, handmade dumplings cooked to order in an open kitchen, and for a cozy, intimate setting that draws crowds despite the small space. Diners note a wide variety of dumplings including steamed, fried, and soup dumplings such as xiao long bao, with popular fillings like pork and coriander, beef, shrimp, and vegetarian options, all made fresh before the eyes and often smelling delicious in the air. The experience is often described as quick and friendly service when not overwhelmed, though the place can get busy and seating limited, leading to lines and occasional delays during peak hours. Reviews highlight the aroma, the comforting and authentic flavors, and the overall value, with many calling the dumplings the best in Montreal, and the place a great spot for casual meals, dates, or sharing with friends. Side dishes like kimchi are praised, while cucumber salad and certain salads receive mixed feedback, and some guests wish for easier access to spices such as chili oil. Overall, this is a beloved dumpling destination that delivers consistently tasty dumplings and a warm, welcoming vibe, best experienced by arriving early or being prepared to queue.

Un excellent resto de dumplings sur le Plateau. Les dumplings sont préparés frais, juste devant toi. L'endroit est petit, donc vaut mieux arriver tôt pendant les heures d'ouverture pour avoir une place. On y est allés à l'heure de pointe du dîner, juste avant le Nouvel An, & on a dû attendre un peu avant d'être installés (environ 15 à 20 minutes, ce qui est quand même très raisonnable).

Comme l'espace est limité, le resto est mieux adapté aux petits groupes (idéalement un maximum de quatre personnes). On a commandé les dumplings de boeuf frits & les xiao long bao classiques au porc, & tout était vraiment délicieux!

Notre seule petite remarque : des cuillères devraient être fournies automatiquement, surtout pour les xiao long bao, pour pouvoir les déposer sur la cuillère & slurper le bouillon du dumpling. On a aussi remarqué que le personnel avait l'air débordé quand la salle est pleine en même temps que les commandes pour emporter, donc avoir plus de serveurs aux heures de pointe aiderait à améliorer le service. L'huile de chili devrait aussi être disponible directement sur les tables. À part de ça, les dumplings sont vraiment bonne!

Meilleurs dumplings de Montréal ! Prévoir un peu d'attente ( environ 15 min ) le week-end. Les baos, la soupe & les dumplings sont excellents

Great little restaurant. Have had both the fried & steamed dumplings, both pork & chicken & all are excellent. The bao bun is also great. Super friendly staff & great to sit at the counter & watch them do everything.

These handmade xiao long baos (soup dumplings) have great texture & are delicious. 10/10 would come back. If you're visiting from Melbourne, this is equivalent to Shanghai street but a little chewier & with beef options.

Delicious & authentic xiao long bao!

We ordered the xiao long bao & a few side dishes - everything was delicious! The dumplings were juicy & flavorful, & the small plates complemented them perfectly. Cozy place & friendly staff !

Found this gem while walking on St-Laurent Blvd. Even if the place was small, we only waited 10-15min for a table of 2. The staffs are very nice & the service was quite fast. The food!! I recommend the cucumber salad. The sauce was just too good & we dipped the xiaolong bao in it too. The soup dumplings here are so juicy & flavourful (best ones so far). Last but not least, the rice balls with wine (dessert) was a perfect ending for us: not too sweet (but this might not be for everyone).

I had a great experience here. The food was amazing, especially the Chicken Mushroom Xiao Long Bao, Chicken Wonton Soup, & Chives, Egg & Shrimp Pan-Fried Dumplings. The dumpling skins weren't too thick, & the fillings were generous & very fresh. Both the cook & the server were approachable & friendly. Also, the interior is nice. This is definitely a spot I'll return to when visiting Montreal next time!
