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.
I visited this Chinese restaurant & ordered the combo of fried dumplings with pork, shrimp, & scallops. It turned out to be really good. The flavors were rich & everything tasted freshly made. I finished the whole plate without hesitation !
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!
We were so lucky to pass this little Chinese restaurant. The food was so delicious, we couldn't stop eating, & our stomachs were full & happy! Highly recommended! If you're looking for delicious & simple Chinese food, for sure you will find food to satisfy your taste buds here.

Cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The fried beef & onion dumplings were really tasty, crispy on the outside & juicy inside. Portions were decent & nicely presented. Service was friendly & efficient. I'd definitely come back for the dumplings !
just a regular dumpling place. no chilli or chilli oil for dumpling...if you want pay extra 😂 too crowded & a small place. so expect to wait in the queue & probably you get seated in the kitchen prep area during waiting. veg dumpling was super average. Agneau was okay. Desserts no comments. go eat dumpling if hungry & if your hunger cant wait.

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.
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.
Pour moi une des meilleures adresses de dumplings sur Montréal ! Je trouve le rapport qualité/prix excellent ! Le lieu est prisé alors privilégiez votre visite en dehors des heures de pointe !
