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.
J'y suis allé avec mes filles, pour ma part la soupe won ton j'ai vraiment adoré, les dumpling sont bon mais pas plus ! & fallait payer pour l'huile pimenté !
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!

Only had a hot n sour soup, pretty sure it's vegetarian (no meat) it was ok. There is a menu image from 2 years ago that shows a lunch special, that is out of date & is no longer on the menu.
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.
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!
La pâte & la fraîcheur des dumplings est impressionnante.
Les dumpling vapeur ou frit sont vraiment meilleur que les soupes dumplings. Ils leurs manquent du bouillon.
À éviter avec de jeunes enfants ils n'ont pas de'booster' ou chaise haute.
Le service était fait d'abord en anglais alors que notre serveuse parlait parfaitement français mais à chaques interactions c'était en anglais...
La serveuse a oublié des plats également mais les laissait à la base sur la facture donc c'est de bon produit mais soyez vigilent du service très ordinaire.
Ps: la toilette a une ventilation avec beaucoup de saletés qui en débordent.
C'est très chaud prévoyez des manches courtes.
Meilleurs dumplings de Montréal & à date, la meilleure soupe aigre piquante que j'ai gouté á Montréal. Ça vaut 100% le detour si vous aimez la bouffe asiatique. De plus, tout était bien, mais la seule chose ce que le serveur ne connaisait aucun mot en français & je veux comprendre, mais le mot'eau' est just basique à connaître. Je pense qu'il pourrait se forcer á parler quelques mots en français au moins. Bref, sino la bouffe & le reste c'était vrm bon.
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.
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
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.
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
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 !!
