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.
Commençons par préciser que je n'ai pas aimé mon expérience alors que je suis généralement facile a contenter. Visiblement, il y a ici un problème de communication... pour le français on repassera... & même la langue des signes ne fonctionne pas. J'ai pointé le plat de mon voisin en indiquant que c'est ce que je voulais... mais non, j'ai eu autre chose. D'ailleurs pendant mon diner au moins un autre client a indiqué ne pas avoir eu ve qu'il avait commandé. Côté nourriture, la salade verte était vraiment bonne. J'ai eu des dumpling porc & coriandre. Ordinaires, le goût de la pâte enterrait celui de la farce. Rarement, j'ai vu un endroit qui n'offrait pas le piquant (huile de chili, pâte de piment) pour ajouter au vinaigre & soya... il fallait payer pour cette addition. & le service... minimal. Il y a bien meilleur à Montréal pour moins cher.
Food was exceptional, especially the beef soup dumplings, service was incredible. Our waitress Isaiah was super friend & gave us great recommendations. The hospitality & decor of this place was just amazing 10/10 !
The kimchi is simply perfect, definitely order it!
I got the pork & cabbage soup dumplings to follow & they were so delicious. Definitely recommend coming here
Edit: pro tip - save any kimchi juice leftovers to eat with your dumplings

Les dumpling sont super bons
Très juteux & gouteux
L'accueil est cordial , pas mal reçu, mais assez distant
L'ambiance est celle d'un restaurant qui tourne, pas vraiment d'ambiance, je mange au bar, alors je profite pour voir la cuisinière travailler.... Un peu de spectacle
Peut être une suggestion.....
Faire des portions moins grosses
Faire des assiettes dégustation de 6 portions serait suffisant
Le soup dumpling boeuf & oignon était tellement bon ! La meilleure découverte ! Le meilleur dumpling du coin !
Tu peux manger en les regardant cuisiner aussi! C'est charmant
Cependant, le service est différé. J'ai reçu mes dumpling 5-10 min avant les autres & le dernier a reçu en très décalé . C'est dommage..
mais sinon j'y retournerai volontier ! C'était excellent !!
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.
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 !

Very good handmade dumplings with alternatives to pork, like chicken, beef & shrimp… which is very nice! Not always easy finding dumplings without pork.
The dumplings here are amazing-so authentic & delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh, & the flavors are spot on. The service was great, & the atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend !
Did a quick grab in of veg dumplings. The portion size was really good. Not a big fan of the vegetarian mushroom dumpling flavouring. Felt it lacked some taste.
