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.

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!
