Review Summary

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.

I visited this Chinese restaurant & ordered the combo of fried dumplings with pork, shrimp, & scallops. It turned out to be really good. The flavors were rich & everything tasted freshly made. I finished the whole plate without hesitation !

Pork + Lamb soup dumplings were tasty (albeit small). I just found the cucumber salad to be pretty disappointing for 9$. Served with thick (& not particularly crunchy) english cucumbers & the sauce isn't even mixed or combined into the salad. Just poured on top. Kinda bland.

Loved the variety of dumplings on the menu. The pork & chive ones were my favorite, & the dipping sauce was spot on.

I did not have the best experience here. The waiter left in the middle of taking my order to clear another table & then spent about 10 minutes seating other tables before coming back. They also spilled water all over our table, which made things even worse.
The restaurant itself is very crowded & small, making it feel uncomfortable. The food came out fairly quick after our order was put in it was actually very good & filling we had the pork & the shrimp soup dumplings however they didn't provide a small plate or spoon for my soup dumplings, which made eating them quite unpleasant.
Overall, while the food was good, the poor service & cramped environment made this a little disappointing.

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.

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

Very good handmade dumplings with alternatives to pork, like chicken, beef & shrimp… which is very nice! Not always easy finding dumplings without pork.

Both the soup & fried dumplings are absolutely incredible. I've tried almost every flavor on the menu & I highly recommend. My favorite soup dumpling is the sweet pork or the pork with chives. My favorite fried dumpling is the mushroom & shrimp. I prefer ordering takeout as opposed to sitting there because it's a little bit cramped. The service is also fairly slow because there's usually only one person waiting tables.

I found this gem by chance as I was walking past. I had the pork & shrimp dumplings & they were so good. Perfect for a winter's day! The interior is very cosy & cute, & the service was friendly.
