The have THE BEST tum yum soup I have ever tasted. Hear me out. Not because of how it's made, but because of how easy to add on to you liking it was. The lady gave us extra sauces to suit our own palettes which to me, is the added bonus. We arrived and it was relatively quiet. Because it is in a home sorta neighbourhood, it's kinda of like a local space. I recommend a million percent.

The Singapore noodles lacked seasoning/flavour. The general Tao was a crazy huge portion, flavour was decent but quality of the chicken wasn't good... and the dumplings were not flavourful.

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 can't wait to try other dumpling flavours, and their edamame salad.

All of the portions were large to boot. We split an order of two dumplings. One pork with scallion and the other chicken with mushrooms. Both were good, nice and brothy inside. The accompanying dipping sauce was mildly spicy. I honestly think you could forego the sauce but the dumplings paired with it fairly well. Pickup was easy, even for a visiting tourist. Happy to have ordered from here!

The people coming in were hilarious to listen to; they clearly don't know much, if anything, about Chinese street food. The name is incredibly generic and the storefront is essentially hidden. It's located right beside a flower shop. I walked over for a late snack on a Thursday afternoon. The place is small but they have a couple of seats if you stay to eat. Most people were grabbing takeout. Found out the owner is originally from Dalian (northern China). She's very interactive and friendly with all the customers. Seems she already has quite a few regulars. - Traditional jian bing guo ($4.99) - I've only seen this at one other spot in town. This one is made fresh. Crispy with an addictive soy bean paste sauce and filled with lettuce and fried wonton strips. - Sweet & spicy beef dumplings ($3.99) - they don't normally do half orders but I got lucky and she let me try out their jiao zi. Homemade, you normally get 16 in one order. Slight sweetness from the sauce and a tad bit of spice in the filling. Half order was perfect solo. Always happy when places specialize on doing one or two things well. Great that street food is getting some hype! Debit or cash only. 3.5 stars.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Delicious dumplings. Not too…read moreexpensive. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here on our most recent trip back to Montreal. We started off with the cucumber salad ($4.99) and shared the Pork and Shrimp Soup Dumplings ($11.99 for 10) and the fried Shrimp Dumplings ($14.99 plus an additional $1.50 to get them fried, the default is boiled. There were 12 per order). It was our first time trying this type of cucumber salad. It was good. It's marinaded in a chili oil and vinegar mix. Beware that it has cilantro. We did not know and my cilantro-hating husband had to pick off all the cilantro, lol. The soup dumplings were fantastic. My husband usually only likes fried dumplings, and doesn't like steamed or boiled dumplings, but he enjoyed these. There was ample shrimp mixed in with the pork and each dumpling had soup in it, none were dry. The dumpling skin was thin with just the right amount of chew. The fried dumplings were also good. They had a nice crunchy exterior and soft interior. Lots of tender shrimp in the filling. Service was pleasant. It's a bit of an older restaurant, but the interior was still nice. Recommended if you like dumplings. Review #1(2025) - starting off the year with a 5-star review ;)

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.
