Mai Xiang Yuan is one of Montreal’s best dumpling restaurants. If you’re looking for a casual, cheap and speedy place to grab a bite, Mai Xiang Yuan is for you. Li Hui opened the Chinatown location in 2010, and a second location Downtown shortly after. They have been serving up steamy and flavourful Chinese dumplings since!
Mai Xiang Yuan is widely praised for delicious, juicy dumplings with a wide range of fillings, including pork and chive, lamb and cilantro, beef and onion, and plenty of vegetarian options, plus soups and fried varieties that are typically hot and freshly made, served with tasty dipping sauces. Service is described as fast and friendly, the atmosphere as calm and welcoming, and portions as generous with good value for money, making it a go-to spot for dumpling lovers. The cash only policy is a frequent note and may require planning, sometimes with an on site ATM, while a few visits mention issues like cleanliness or service tone, but overall the reviews are positive and many say they will return.
This place was yum! We ordered B1, & number 1 - chefs choice (fried). It came out in a good time & was fresh. Good flavour & service was good. It was cash only, so make sure you bring some. They do have an ATM though. Would come again if I had the chance!
Expérience incroyable ! Le personnel est au top & extrêmement réactif. Les produits sont vraiment de qualité & honnêtement je n'avais jamais mangé de dumplings aussi bons ! Je recommande les yeux fermés, & je suis sûre à 100% que je reviendrais ! Excellent
J'y étais allé en 2018, & en y retournant en 2026, mon avis reste inchangé. C'est toujours l'un des meilleurs endroits pour manger des dumplings que j'ai testés. Le service est à la fois rapide & très agréable, l'ambiance est calme & apaisante, & la qualité des dumplings est tout simplement exceptionnelle. Je recommande !!!!
