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.
Excellente découverte, juste un peu trop de monde (place assises limitées, max 20-30 personnes) en même temps pour le serveur, mais il était très gentil & c'était très bon.
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.

Really enjoyed this Chinese restaurant! I ordered the shrimp & coriander frozen dumplings, & they were surprisingly delicious-fresh-tasting, well-seasoned, & cooked perfectly. The flavors were bright, & the dumplings had a great bite. Friendly service & a simple, cozy vibe. Definitely worth trying if you love good dumplings !
I would give 10 stars if possible. I enjoyed every second of this whole experience & it's safe to day I'm obsessed! We went around 1pm on saturday so the waiting line was a bit long but it's all worth it trust me. Everything was insanely delicious beyond belief. We devoured it all in less than 15min haha. The staff are so nice patient & polite. Wonderful experience & we're definitely coming back🩷

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.
Une expérience simple & extraordinaire à la fois. Un cadre authentique, des serveurs attentionnés & des dumplings à tomber par terre. Arrivez tôt si vous ne voulez pas faire la file.
Best dumplings in montreal. My go to order is the vegetarian dumplings, the cold noodles, & cucumber salad. I've been coming here for the past 3 years & it never disappoints! The owner is so kind & always gives us free things because we are regulars! You can't miss them making dumplings fresh in the windows. Tourists & Montrealers love petit poisson! 🐟 🥟 🍵 ✨
I got takeout but the dining room was vibrant when I picked up. Would love to go for a sit down dinner next time. Two badass women holding it down & feeding lots of happy looking people. Got lots of food & enjoyed it all. Cucumber salad & kimchi were fresh & delicious, dumplings very good, great sauces on the side.
