Popped in for the pork & cabbage soup dumplings, seaweed salad, & cucumber salad. Drink the sauces off the plate good. Perfect amount of food for two after a journey. Refreshing & hearty & flavorful! Plus a very nice atmosphere.
Petit Poisson Dumpling est un vrai petit bijou pour les amateurs de cuisine asiatique authentique & traditionnelle. Les dumplings aux crevettes & oeufs étaient exquises, & la salade de tofu était très savoureuse.
Pour accompagner le tout, la bière au riz est un vrai coup de coeur, originale & rafraîchissante. Bien que l'espace est un peu étroit, l'ambiance est simple mais agréable, & le service est rapide & attentif.
Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de dumplings & de plats asiatiques bien faits à Montréal.

Best soup dumplings in town! When we arrived we were greeted by a super friendly server, we didnt have to wait at all even though it was super busy.
We had the kimchi, which had incredible flavour. The cucumber salad, that was a really good portion size was also balanced in taste. The boa was extremely fluffy, not too sticky or heavy. But the best part was the soup dumplings. We got the shrimp & pork flavour, they did not disappoint. So much filling & were cooked to perfection. Everything came out so fast, I would highly recommend Petit Poisson to anyone.
Petit boui-boui authentique avec d'excellents dumplings.
L'endroit est charmant, chaleureux & plein de petites surprises qui stimulent les sens. Entre les plats en bambou, la musique coréenne, les mamies & la famille en cuisine, on sent tout de suite une ambiance vraie & vivante. La salade de concombre relevée au poivre du Sichuan vaut aussi le détour, & les portions sont assez généreuses. Bref, tout pour plaire, surtout aux ados.
À noter toutefois : il y a des escaliers, donc l'endroit est moins pratique pour les poussettes & malheureusement peu accessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant.
Really awesome fried & soup dumplings as well as starters, including the cucumber salad & cold noodle dishes. The service was very good & I could sit for hours watching those ladies up front churning out batches of freshly made dumplings!
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.
