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.
We were so lucky to pass this little Chinese restaurant. The food was so delicious, we couldn't stop eating, & our stomachs were full & happy! Highly recommended! If you're looking for delicious & simple Chinese food, for sure you will find food to satisfy your taste buds here.
Delicious dumplings! They make them in front of you. The restaurant is filled with their yummy dumplings smell. The service is very fast & the menu is easy to choose from. Even though the place is a bit small, it's very comfortable. I recommend trying this place!

Stumbled upon this dumpling place by chance & wow - so good. Friendly service & the food was a solid 10/10. Tried the soup dumplings & the fried ones, & both were amazing. Highly recommend!
Nice cozy restaurant. Service was great & food was amazing!! While waiting to be seated the smells so delicious. Pro tip Dumplings take time to prepare, so I'd recommend ordering an appetizer before that.
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.

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
It was my first time ever eating dumplings, & Petit Poisson went above & beyond my expectation. I have a severe sesame seed allergy, & my server, Isaiah, ensured that my food was free of sesame seeds.
If you want delicious food & great service, I highly recommend grabbing a bite here!
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
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 !
