Petit Poisson Dumpling receives widespread praise for fresh, handmade dumplings cooked right in front of customers, with a wide range of fried, steamed, and soup dumplings plus tasty side dishes like cucumber salad and cold noodles. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and welcoming, with a lively open kitchen and friendly, attentive staff making it easy to linger over a few plates with friends. Values highlighted include good portion sizes and fair prices, especially for Montreal, and a memorable comfort food experience that feels authentic. However, reviews also note the small, crowded space, long waits, and occasional service missteps during peak hours, which can affect pacing and seating. Overall, Petit Poisson Dumpling is seen as a top choice for dumplings in the area, a place to return to for reliable comfort food and warmth.
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.
