Kim Fung is a in a shopping center and was pretty full but we were able to be seated right away. They brought up dishes on carts and we were able to order even though our table was in the corner. While we were there, the fire alarm was ringing. It did not seem like there was a fire, and three fire trucks even came to check things out, but no one inside the restaurant seemed concerned so everyone kept eating. The food was good but it was a little annoying eating with the fire alarm on. We ordered a lot of dim sum classics that we eat back home in California but it seemed like the prices were lower than what we normally pay back home. The bill once we figured our the CAD-USD conversion seemed very reasonable. If we're in town again and the fire alarm isn't loud, we'll try it again.

This time around it seems they took my advice (lol!) as dim sum ladies were very friendly and the restaurant itself taken care of better. Food was tasty too. The disappointment came in the form of a small hair in my dumpling-- it happens!

At first I thought it was push cart dim sum, since I saw a lot of push carts and a standard checklist where servers mark down for item sizes. Sadly I found it a minute later that the menu is online and I order it from there. They have the standard har gow, siu mai, beef tripe, etc items. One thing that I was happy they have was laosha bao (custard lava buns), my favourite dessert bun item. Their standard items are decent, though pricier than I expected. Wasn't a fan of their shrimp paste cuttlefish (there was barely any shrimp paste). Loved their laosha bao though. Service was good, they informed us that we pay for our food at the cashier up front. I'm content on coming back here for dim sum if folks in my party are interested.

What I didn't know at the time is: (1) they also have NYC locations, including their U.S. flagship 1/2 block from Tonii's, one of my favorite Chinatown cheap eats and (2) Yin Ji Chang Fen's chains origin is in Guangzhou in 1958... and that location still exists! So, it was a must try! Glad we stopped by and would recommend it for a try, especially if you are looking for a convenient bite while on Ste. Catherine Oeste. (Note - Did not get the chance to check out other steamed rice roll places in Montreal, but will definitely do on my next trip.) About the restaurant experience... while they have printed menus, you use the QR code on the table to order, although there was a helpful waiter to assist. We ordered a fresh Shrimp with Chives and a Roasted Duck with Chives Steamed Rice Roll. Peanut sauce needed to be ordered as an extra. They provide complementary hot tea. (You can also order a can of Chinese iced tea.) Yin Ji Chang Fen's rolls were delicious, especially the roast duck! The sauces added make the rolls even more vibrant. Note - Didn't get the chance to check out other Montreal steamed rice roll places, but will definitely do on my next trip. Also at one point back home, will also check out their N.Y. Chinatown location to compare. To add, Congee appears to be another Yan Ji specialty, however it's not something I typically order.

We decided to go next day, and waited approximately 35 minutes. While this place is small, but it was definitely somewhat loud and quite a delight of clean, friendly staffed, and incredible service. We tried the original pork, spicy pork, and the beef dumpling; along with the fried pork dumpling with chives. All of it was delicious!!! Yes it may been greasy, or oily; well, that was expected since its pork based soup dumpling-- I can see why others feel that ginger was a must-- but it wasn't mandatory must. Our faves was the spicy pork dumpling and the fried pork and chives. Seriously; so damn good!! Thank you for all your service that was provided.

Overall: C // 3 stars…read more Popular soup dumpling restaurant in Montreal with an abundance of classic and new flavors. You can have an extremely filling meal under 20CAD if you're willing to wait a bit as there is a queue both outside and for servicing. I found the appeal of this restaurant to be moreso in the flavors than the technique though. (Tom Yum XLB: B) - Impressive flavor profile that has a mild spice with a powerful cilantro note. Really love the uniqueness of this, even though it lacks soup and actual rememory of tom yum. These are double the price of the main series XLB though. (Scallop, Shrimp, Pork XLB: A) - Fantastic combination of filling with whole shrimp and scallop. Although, since it lacks much soup and the skin is quick thick, this is almost closer to a siu mai instead. Nevertheless, 10 pieces at 16CAD is a stellar deal here. (Curry Beef Potsticker: B) - Another unbeatable deal of 12CAD for 12 dumplings; the curry flavor works well for this type of dumpling, and I like the thickness of the connecting lattice. However, I found the beef to be overminced and quite dry. Food: E Presentation: E Price: +1 Atmosphere: -1 Service: E Menu: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

GREAT dim sum restaurant in Montreal! Not only is this restaurant huge, but the dim sum was…read moreexcellent. Coming from NY and having experienced dim sum in all of NYC's Chinatowns, as well as San Francisco, Toronto, Hong Kong and Singapore, I've admittedly and unfortunately become a bit of a dim sum snob. To my surprise though, La Maison Kam Fung was RIGHT UP THERE with some of the better dim sum experiences I've ever had. I'm not going to let it define the entire Montreal's dim sum scene, but if the rest of them are anything like this restaurant, then I would say add Montreal to that list of some of the best dim sum areas on this side of this hemisphere to visit! Unbeknownst to us, we happened to come here on Victoria Day, which is a pretty big holiday in Canada and when we arrived, the parking lot and restaurant was PACKED and bustling despite it being a Monday. I would assume it would be about the same amount of traffic on the weekends. Fortunately, our wait was only about 20-25 minutes since the restaurant is so big and turnover was high. ALL of the usual dim sum staples are served here and it's really, really great to see the traditional dim sum push carts back again as we turn the page on the COVID-19 pandemic. Dim sum just wasn't the same the last few years without the push cart ladies walking around and showcasing what they had in their carts. I won't go through every single dim sum dish, but, seriously, we didn't have a single complaint about any of the dishes we ordered - pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, spring rolls, sticky rice with chicken, roast pork rice roll, shrimp and chive dumplings, steamed spare ribs, egg tarts - ALL EXCELLENT and right on par with some of the best dim sum we've ever had anywhere. Food was fantastic, service was great. The whole restaurant was packed like it should be for dim sum. I dare to say almost the perfect dim sum experience!

We have their wonton soup, which you could tell was homemade and fresh, the hot and sour soup, which my partner said wasn't exceptionally flavourful at first, but after eating more, it grew on him and he would absolutely order it again. We had the spring rolls, they were fresh and delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. We tried their fried wontons with peanut sauce, and those were really good. For dumplings, we ordered the lamb and coriander, which were nice, but maybe not enough coriander flavour, the beef and onion, and they hit the spot, and the chicken and curry, which were my favourite of what we had. To finish, we had their sesame balls, and those did not disappoint! I would come back just for them, so good! You could tell that everything was made fresh, with quality ingredients.

I've made it a habit of travelling to Quebec almost every Christmas with my parents, as it's only a 5 hour drive from Markham, but we ran late this time and this was the only place open past 9pm. The menu here is predominantly dumplings, which for a cold winter day I don't mind at all. For us 3 we had the juicy pork and snow crab, shrimp tom yum, and lamb and coriander xiao long baos. All were excellent for a Christmas Day meal where very few places are open. We also had the beef teriyaki xiao long bao, which unfortunately was not as good as the others. Service was excellent here. Not the best xiao long bao I've ever had, but for a place that's open 365 days a year, I can be assured that I can have quality food on Christmas Day.
