Kind staff & wonderful service. I wish we caught our servers name because he was delightful. Everything we ordered was delicious! The Singapore noodles & pork & chive soup dumplings were especially good. If I lived in Montreal this would be a regular spot
I walked into the restaurant without high expectations, thinking it would just be a typical North American Chinese spot. But I was completely surprised by the quality of the dumplings. They tasted exactly like the ones I had in China-if not even better. In fact, compared to the famous Chinese dumpling chain, Din Tai Fung, Yum Yum does it even better.
Je commande régulièrement à emporter & c'est toujours parfait. Les soup dumplings sont absolument délicieux : la pâte est cuite à la perfection, la garniture savoureuse, & la soupe explose en bouche à chaque bouchée. En plus, les propriétaires sont toujours très gentils. Une vraie pépite !
We were visiting from Toronto & stumbled upon Yum Yum - hands down the highlight of our trip! The soup dumplings were nothing short of perfection. Each one had a delicate, paper-thin wrapper that burst with rich, savory broth & tender, flavorful filling. You could taste the freshness & quality in every bite. We also ordered noddles with beef & we absolutely inhaled it. We are VERY big foodies & this is our top 5. They WILL have a line up out the door so make sure you get there early. Be prepared to eat here again.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was the hospitality. The staff welcomed us like old friends, going above & beyond to make us feel comfortable. I haven't seen such warmth from a restaurant in so long. They were attentive, friendly, & genuinely passionate about their food. Their thoughtful recommendations made the meal even more memorable.
Yum Yum isn't just a restaurant - it's an experience. If you're craving authentic, soul-warming soup dumplings & food with outstanding service, this place is an absolute must. We're already counting down the days until we can return! Ps. You have try their oil. We bought some to go 🤤
Visiting from Toronto let me just start by saying I would drive down just to eat here again. The owner was our server very polite & kind- one of the kindest humans we've ever met. We were made to feel as if it was a family memebers house. He even went out of his way to teach us how to properly eat a soup dumpling. Food was 12/10 highly recommended.
The best place for Xiao Long Bao in Montreal! I'm Taiwanese & I can tell the food here is authentic & truly high quality. Their homemade chilli sauce is to die for! The owner is lovely:)
