This is a straight up dumpling house. . . NOT Dim Sum, as some tend to confuse the two. Dumplings are steamed or pan fried for an extra fee. Food was very good & portions are plentiful.View more
Absolutely love the steamed dumplings here. Staff is great & service is very goodView more
Simple yet efficient ! The true nature of your dumplings are revealed when you take your first mouthful & get to enjoy the broth that steamed inside . Some of my top pick are : pork & coriander, lamb & aneth, leek shrimp & egg & the last one curry beef ! Lunch time is almost always full during the weekday so be early or late if you're a big group ! Enjoy !View more
Tasty dumplings in a comfy environment -- I can't wait to return. I dined in late on a Monday night, & I loved stepping into a bustling resto after walking through le Quartier Chinois' neon-lit, energetic streets. It was only a 10-minute wait to be seated, & then I was digging the youthful vibes around me: a combination of twentysomething & thirtysomething hipsters; young, middle-aged & senior couples & solo diners like myself. All of us hungry! What I didn't like was watching servers skip me to take orders from a few groups of three diners -- that caused me to have to wait a half-hour for a server to take my order. Not good. & all I had during the waiting period was a pitcher of water with lemon wedges. Then, once my order -- pan-fried pork & chive dumplings (I didn't mind the $1.50CAD extra for pan-searing) -- was taken, it took more than a half-hour more for my meal & a can of Coke to arrive. Was my plate of pan-fried dumplings worth the excruciating wait? Yes, oui & si! I was so hungry that I used only soy sauce, but I ate a few of the porkilicious morsels naked, & they were divine! Next time I'll try some of the condiments that are provided at every table. But yah, I left satisfied both in belly & wallet. As a U.S. citizen using a credit card, I benefited from the exchange rate & zero international fee (merci, Capital One!), so I didn't even feel the tiny extra cost for selecting the pan-fried method over the (default) steamed method. I must mention that having the choice of using a major credit card or some of my CAD cash was a really nice surprise, as I'd "misremembered" that Qing Hua Dumpling House didn't accept credit cards. The restaurant does accept credit cards. As this was my first night out of seven on my Québec province vacation trip, I decided I'd better hold onto my Canadian cash a bit longer. & I was smart, because some eateries in Montreal -- from Chinatown to La Petite-Italie -- don't accept credit cards. In fact, midway through my vacation, I needed to visit a currency exchange office (in Québec City) because I wanted to make sure I had enough CAD cash (including those helpful loonies & twoonies) to leave tips: for housekeeping in the hotel rooms, for doormen & concierge at hotels, for tour guides *&* the drivers of those tour buses, for donations at houses of worship (although I hadn't planned to visit any, I went to three, including St. Joseph's Oratory in MTL), & for food from food trucks & carts at the Just for Laughs Festival in MTL. So, with major credit cards & CAD cash on my person next time I'm in Canada, I'll be stopping by Qing Hua Dumpling House when I reach Montréal. Not only do I love its cuisine & its operating hours, but I also adore its overall vibe. The front-of-the-house employee (not sure if he's the manager) was so welcoming & kind, just one of the coolest businesspeople I encountered on this trip, that I'd return to Qing Hua Dumpling House to experience his sophisticated & charming blend of hospitality ... even after a 13-hour rail trip to MTL from NYC. S'il vous plait, incloyez la Maison Qing Hua dans votre prochain visite au Montréal. Merci.View more
Fantastic dumplings. Atmosphere is frenetic but fun.View more
Excellents dumplings! Service rapide, bons prix.View more
Situated in the heart of the Montreal Chinatown, which is a 10-15 mins walk from the historic Montreal (ideal). We went on a weekend so there was a waiting line (we didn’t have to wait more than 10 mins as its a fast serving & moving restaurant). The fantastic thing is; you get 15 medium sized dumplings for an extremely reasonable price, which were yummy so an all round great place. We had the 1) shrimp, leek & egg dumplings & the 2) cabbage, vermicelli & mushroom dumplings, which were both great! The service was fast & friendly. Parking is available around the neighbourhood but wasn’t easy to find so recommend using the Metro, taxi, walking, etc. Great job! Can’t wait to revisit again!View more
Had some delicious dumplings here.
Ordered the mystery dumplings plus wonton soup (both types) & cucumber salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. This was a highlight of our weekend trip to MontrealView more
Simple, clean, friendly, fast, efficient. Pretty simple menu, fast service, good food (seaweed salad, cucumber salad, pork & cabbage fried dumplings).View more
We ordered beef & cheese dumplings & chicken & cabbage
Chicken was ok, but beef dumplings were not good. Beef tastes absolutely cheap & fatty. The only thing I could taste was ground beef with so much fat oil.
It could definitely add some spices in to inrich the flavor, perhaps.View more
Visited this restaurant in Chinatown for dinner. After 30 mins of wait, we were finally able to get a table for two as it was a busy Saturday evening. We were surprised with the number of vegetarian dumplings options. Dumplings were one of the best I have had in Canada. Spring rolls were also fresh & crispy.View more
Worst dumpling restaurant in China town.
I don’t know if they were understaffed or something but the service was terrible, no water, the bowls they gave us for the sauce were oily & orange (dirty), took 20 mins to get our tsingtao beer, 30 mins for WATER, waving at out waitress for a question & she never came to see us. We were really disappointed & unfortunately will never go back.View more
The dumplings tasted great! Ordered a side of cucumbers as well.View more
Really good quality juicy dumpling. There are steamed dumplings & pan fried dumplings. I got pork & green onion Pan Fried. Amazing dumplings!....it's freshly cooked. I recommend this best dumplings spot in Montreal
We have been there multiple times because it is my favourite dumpling place. I highly recommend this place in Chinatown!!
Amazing Dumplings! Excellent dumplings! Would definitely recommend for all!
VERY BAD PLACE!! DON'T GO THERE. First of all, me & my girlfriend are very patient & we understand lot of problems since we both work in customer service & study business. We arrived at the restaurant at 7:55 & got seated right away. Right away, we didn't like our table because of a group of 4 people screaming near us. Also, we were put in table for 6 people with half of it already taken. Then, we had to ask the server 2 times to take our order. After 25 minutes, she took our order. She also had the time to receive an order of 2 jugs of beer 10 minutes from each appart & serve it. We assume we would get the food quickly as the table of screaming monkeys got 60 dumplings in less then 15 minutes & we ordered 30. 20 minutes later, she comes back to us saying that half of our order wasnt possible due to lack of stock. No prob, but she should know before asking us what we want. Lack of communication. She puts back our order in the last spot (she should of put it back where it was in the order, how dump is that) Now, there were people that came in 20-30 minutes after us, that started to receive their food. After waiting for another 30 minutes, we had to complain at the cashier that it has been 50 minutes & nothing yet for us while people there 20-30 minutes after us are almost done eating. She cames back 5 minutes later saying that every thing will be ready in 6 minutes. LIE. Half of it came in after 12 minutes (They were on the clock). Food came in. IT WAS BARELY COOKED PROPERLY. Shrimps inside were transparent (meaning not cook) & the skin of the dumplings were still half frozen. To sum up, cashier wasn't even respectful enough to ask me where I sat & tell me the amount to pay. First time I've left no tip at a restaurant. We got out at 10 pm very mad.As we left. there were 5 people waiting in line. when clearly there were enough (emptied) tables to accommodate.
Went for dinner here last night with 3 friends & we were a little disappointed. I heard many great things about their dumplings & frankly I was expecting more. We had fried chicken & coriander, fried beef curry, steamed chicken & mushrooms, steamed chicken leek & egg...the fried ones were good but the steamed ones were all stuck together which made it a tad difficult to pull them apart without it breaking, & the top part of the all the dumplings were a little hard. The taste of the filling however was delicious. We also had spring rolls that were cold, the coleslaw carrot salad was very good. The service not so great. They literally sat us down, gave us menus & came back like 30 seconds later to take our order, naturally we told the waitress we needed more time. I understand that there is a lineup but it's rude to try to rush people who are eating let alone people who just sat down! I'm sorry to say but I've had better dumplings & better service at another place & I highly doubt I will be going back here.
Le service est vraiment mauvais, les serveuses semblent assurément ne pas aimer leur travail. Par chance, les dumplings sont très bons & très juteux.
Great food, TERRIBLE SERVICE! I went on a friday afternoon & got their special(dumplings + soup +salad) The waitress told us that they did not have more salad & that we could just have the soup... she did not offer us to get another thing instead of the salad... at the end we got the salad but not the soup... WTF! also she did not offer us something to drink... I did not leave her tip!!!!!!!!! F. Yeah!!!!
See, here's a resto that KNOWS what it's about! No confusion here, folks, no kilometric picture menus full of incomprehensible stuff...it's just dumplings!
& MAN are they good!
Made fresh from scratch on the premises in a lovely kitchen in plain view of the dining room - it's fun to stand there & just watch them make 'em - they've perfected the art of making sure they retain all of the brothy juicy goodness inside.
(& yes that does mean that you'll burn your tongue when you bite on 'em if you're not careful.)
We like that they mind the details. The best way to eat dumplings, as every Chinese person knows, is dipping them in a mixture of soy sauce & vinegar. What's nice is that alongside a lovely soy sauce they provide this WONDERFUL, aromatic Chinese black vinegar - & the bottle's right there on the table for you. It really heightens the whole dumpling experience.
Still not convinced? Prices are about the same as at BurgerKing - it's perfectly possible to eat a lovely lunch for under $10/person (beware: cash only.) The atmosphere is quite nice - sort of neo-chinatown chic - the service usually fast, & the dumplings totally addiction-forming.
We always go for the steamed ones, but you can get them "fried" (really they're braised) or boiled as well.
We especially like this place because we have a toddler & the service is really baby-friendly. It's a very relaxed place to come with a kid.
So try it because...dumplings!
Nous étions vraiment surpris du concept & avions envie d'essayer le restaurant.
Il n'y a que des dumplings, certes, mais un grand choix.
Nous avons essayé 1 assiette vapeur & une autre frite.
Point négatif : c'était TRÈS salé. Beaucoup trop.
Service : personne pour remplir les verres d'eau, il faut attirer l'attention du serveur. Service correct, sans plus.
Can't get enough for these dumplings!! So juicy! The best dumpling place in Montreal! Y Chinese food has to be so good?
