This was my takeout today. I can’t believe someone put this in a container and thought it was fine.

One of our favorite spots for dumplings in the city! Dumpling made on the spot and you can watch it happen. Incredible flavor, service and home cooked meal vibes.

Honestly the best dumplings i’ve ever eaten and got a cheap price. Everytime i go to Montreal i make a stop there. The service is always super fast and the restaurant is family friendly.

I have to say I wasn’t too impressed with the dumplings. They were mid, just okay and not a lot of choices for pescatarian.
The peanut butter dumplings were also not too great.
I wouldn’t go back to this dumpling place, there are sooo many more all around that taste a lot better.
One thing I did like is that their dumplings were not overcooked with the steam and stayed a little firm.
Service wasnt too bad either, but they can pay a little more attention to their customers.

When I first entered the restaurant, the madam that was serving was taking the order of an Asian family by asking if they were ready to order. Because of that, I sat and waited for her to come take my order. 5 minutes passed and she didn’t come. Because of that, I got up to the counter to order. She asked me if it was to go like she didn’t see me sat and waiting. I said no for here. She sent me back to my seat so she could take my order. I sat waiting some more. After ordering, I was waiting for my food to arrive. During that time, the staff were looking at me intently, making it very uncomfortable. Then my food arrived. While I was eating, I saw the staff still looking at me, making this whole diner experience uncomfortable. As a black woman in Montreal, I didn’t think having black people in a restaurant could stirr up this much attention. Before I was done eating, the server came to me with a bowl for to go. This was very unusual for me because I was not used to packing my to go boxes myself in a restaurant. Then, after I was done packing, I hinted to her that I was done. She saw me. Despite that, she cleaned her restaurant, took to go orders, took phone calls while I was sitting bewildered. Then she came to me with the bill and asked me if I wanted more water. While pouring the water, she poured some on the table, looked at me and left. I smiled ackwardly thinking that it was unusual but she would come clean it up. She didn’t. She left that water spill there for me to deal with. I payed and asked for the bill which she threw at me with disdain. I will not be coming back.

They used to be very good but lately the food always comes undercooked!! Even when you ask to cook it a bit longer they are still coming undercooked

They did not disclose in their ingredients that there’s pork jelly and I do not eat pork. I found out by ordering their frozen dumplings that had the ingredients listed on the label. When I called to escalate the situation, the manager said that they would just exchange the frozen dumplings with vegetable ones because that’s the only dumplings that don’t have pork jelly. What about the other 3 orders that I ate not knowing there was pork in them????? I called back to speak to the manager and still didn’t hear back. Horrible service and I am going to escalate this with Health Canada.

Environment is noisy, dumping is not fresh.

Very fresh dumplings made to order. Lamb are very special. Shrimp won ton soup has a very shrimpy broth, so good. Averages at about 16$ a bamboo bowl of 15 steamed dumplings. Fried is a bit more. Cozy.

Steamed dumplings are dry
Not tasty
Not much sauce

I believe the concept is about homemade food, but not restaurant food

There is potential to exploit if business would listen to customers…

Very good, sweat spot for a quick lunch!
