Petit Poisson Dumpling receives widespread praise for fresh, handmade dumplings cooked right in front of customers, with a wide range of fried, steamed, and soup dumplings plus tasty side dishes like cucumber salad and cold noodles. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and welcoming, with a lively open kitchen and friendly, attentive staff making it easy to linger over a few plates with friends. Values highlighted include good portion sizes and fair prices, especially for Montreal, and a memorable comfort food experience that feels authentic. However, reviews also note the small, crowded space, long waits, and occasional service missteps during peak hours, which can affect pacing and seating. Overall, Petit Poisson Dumpling is seen as a top choice for dumplings in the area, a place to return to for reliable comfort food and warmth.
Service staff extremely nice even on a very busy night. I could see how much work they had to do & still keep a smile whenever I ask them for something. Warms my heart to see the aunties working in the kitchen in the beautiful, open concept interior. Even the bathroom designed uniquely, & practically. We waited in the line for an hour but I have no regrets. Gives us time to connect with each other & become excited for the food. I would recommend this steamed egg bun which is on the dim sum menu, but we were still able to order in the evening. & of course, the soup dumplings were amazing. Me & my mother ordered maybe 4 appetizers & 2 entrees of dumplings , everything came out to be $65. Extremely cheap for Canada. Which is also why people love this place.
Une expérience simple & extraordinaire à la fois. Un cadre authentique, des serveurs attentionnés & des dumplings à tomber par terre. Arrivez tôt si vous ne voulez pas faire la file.
Best dumplings in montreal. My go to order is the vegetarian dumplings, the cold noodles, & cucumber salad. I've been coming here for the past 3 years & it never disappoints! The owner is so kind & always gives us free things because we are regulars! You can't miss them making dumplings fresh in the windows. Tourists & Montrealers love petit poisson! 🐟 🥟 🍵 ✨
I got takeout but the dining room was vibrant when I picked up. Would love to go for a sit down dinner next time. Two badass women holding it down & feeding lots of happy looking people. Got lots of food & enjoyed it all. Cucumber salad & kimchi were fresh & delicious, dumplings very good, great sauces on the side.
Dumplings 10/10, came relatively quickly
Warm sake, super yum, should've shared one instead of each getting our own. A bit understaffed. Great vibe & great food. Reasonable prices. Would definitely come back.
I got take out soup dumplings & a salad. The salad dressing was the best! Spicy & nutty, really unique. The soup dumplings were okay. A bit bland. Little liquid. My main complaint was the wait. Once I had paid they told me to wait 20 mins. It was like 45 mins until they were ready... Not really worth the wait IMO

De passage à Montréal, je me suis arrêtée à cette adresse dont une amie m'avait parlé ; j'ai pu tester les nouilles froides piquantes & les fried dumplings aux crevettes & à la coriandre. C'était vraiment excellent ! je recommande
