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
Real rating 4.5/5
Food was real good, we had steamed lamb & coriander, pan fried shrimp pork & leek, as well as peanut noodles.
Service was a bit slow at first, menus took some time to get here, & it was quite busy so somewhat understandable. Found a hair in the noodles, we ate it anyway, & when we told the waitress, the manager came shortly after to apologize & offered the noodles & my beer on the house.
To offer the noodles on the house, that’s expected. To offer the beer on the house, that’s going above expectations, hence the 5 star rating.
All that to say, I’d go back!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
Bon dumping, petit défaut au niveau des vapeurs qui peuvent relâcher du liquide chaudView more
Le service gagnerait à être plus souriant & moins débordé ..View more
One of the best meals we had during our 9 days in MTL. Reasonably priced delicous food & friendly service!View more
Food is good but beware about the service! They often forget the sides & will still charge it to your bill! We only realized after since we didn’t get an itemized bill & was charged total. This happened to other tables too.View more
