Hidden off of Saint Laurent Blvd, this restaurant seemed cute, quaint and busy. There wasn't a lot of seating but we were planning to takeaway anyway. The place has a homey feel ..from the hand written menus and customer messages on the walls to the lady in the kitchen wrapping dumplings. Food was yummy and nice and hot even after bringing it home. You have a choice of steamed or panfried.

Les meilleures et les plus authentiques dumplings de Montréal - parfait! C'est comme les cafés à dumplings où je mangeais quand je vivais en Chine

Small place with great dumplings! At the entrance they have a really cool concept which is allow you to write a message or draw anything that your heart desires and pin it on the wall or roof if you jump high enough! The service was surprisingly really fast and they serve a cute tea set! We got the beef coriander and a pork one. They were both really good! If you like dumplings I recommend this place! One of the best I had.

Homemade tasty dumplings of different kinds made fresh! Tried 4 different dishes of 10 dumplings each, shared amongt three of us! Unassuming place that wouldn't notice right away!

The dumpling game in Montreal is cray. Every time I visit, another half dozen new ones seem to pop up. The Dumpling Hut seemed right up my alley but even I didn't expect it to be in an apartment. The inside is cozy with only four tables. Cute little post it note compliments adorn the walls when you walk in. Someone needs to explain why there's a traffic light as part of their decor though. Seems to be family run. Daughter runs the front and is the only waitress. Mother is the dumpling maestro. There's eight types of dumplings and three sides to choose from. Can't get anymore concise then that. - Pork and dill ($8.99) - 15 dumplings per order and they're boiled. Took it to go. Comes with a tasty chili soya sauce. Dumplings were fresh and you could really taste the dill. There was the slightest bit of soup inside them. Pretty good overall. Wish I could have tried a few more things but c'est la vie. Bonus they take credit!

You know the default text that Yelp provides when you start writing your review? "Doesn't look like much when you walk past... the definition of a hole in the wall... there are no words... you can't really go wrong... not much to say besides go see for yourself!!!!" Dumpling Hut is exactly that. If you walked by, you wouldn't really think there's a restaurant within your presence. And when you step inside, it looks like your damn HOUSE. That's part of its charm! So you come here for dumplings. The restaurant has a menu of 15 dumpling options (if I remember correctly), and you get 16 per order. I got the pork and chives, and they were DELICIOUS. Juicy, tender, and there's enough vinegar and spice available to make it taste how you want it. The experience is like you're paying to eat dumplings as if you're at home... but you enjoy paying for it? I could be a little crazy, but at least the food isn't. It's gooooood.

You can't have fresher than that. Made riiiight here.

Just the best and freshest dumplings we've ever had in Montreal. Forget Chinatown... it's worth coming here. My favorite is number 6: Pork, zucchini and shrimps. Ask for the fried ones ;-) You can also buy them frozen to take home and order for pick ups. Will be back again, again and again.

Fell in love with the Le Lotus Bleu during our summer 2023 visit and we've been meaning to go back!…read moreThey've made several changes in the past few years, including bringing the noodle chefs to the front and staying open on Tuesdays. The hand pulled noodles here are so good. My partner and I got the small bowls (braised beef and lamb noodle soups), but the portions are HUGE. Highly recommend going for noodle style 6 (thickest, more chewy) or 4. We also got the pork and cabbage dumplings, which are super juicy. This meal was very filling; we could've done without the dumplings, but they're too good to pass up. Service was ok since only one person was handling most FOH procedures. Atmosphere was also fine. It was just really warm, even with the multiple fans running (open doors, no AC), but it was to be expected with the pots of noodles cooking in the front. Since everything is so tasty and affordable, we'll try to make a stop every time we visit :) (Having trouble uploading photos - check Google review) BRAISED BEEF SOUP NOODLE (S) - $13.99 CAD LAMB SOUP NOODLE (S) - $14.99 CAD PORK AND CABBAGE DUMPLINGS (15) - $11.99 CAD

I loved the modern calligraphy art on the walls and the clear love of making and serving dumplings at this shop. It was a no frills ordering experience and cash only. Let's keep things simple so you can get your face in some dumplings fast! We ordered wonton soup dumplings (chicken and shrimp). We also got the pork original soup dumplings followed by the pork and crab soup dumplings. Everything came out quickly and nice and piping hot . The size of the dumplings were good along with sufficient soup in them! The cabbage salad also was delicious with a nice horseradish(?) kick to it! We've been to many soup dumpling places in multiple cities and Mai Xiang Yuan is definitely one of our top picks

One important thing to note: this place is cash‑only, and there's an ATM right at the entrance. That was literally the first thing the employee told us when we walked in, which felt a bit off‑putting. The dumplings themselves were great, and we ordered beers to go with the meal. However, the payment experience was not good. He quoted the total as 70 CAD and told us that was 62 USD since we said we had USD. When we calculated it ourselves, it came out to 49 USD. After we pointed that out, he claimed the "foreign transaction fees go up and down with inflation," which didn't make sense. It felt like we were almost being overcharged. So we ended up getting CAD from the ATM machine outside and paid him, however, we didn't appreciate his dishonesty and felt like he was trying to scam us.

We ran into the restaurant in the middle of a torrential storm, and the wait staff was so kind in giving us extra time to dry off and get settled. We ordered numerous dishes and appetizers to share--family-style dining is definitely the way to go here! So many excellent things on the menu. Come expecting to try something new! We were impressed with the quality of the ingredients, particularly the flavorful broths. The standouts were -- Wonton Soup: the broth was wonderful -- Cucumber Salad: crunchy, spicy, and addictive -- Potato Julianne: unbelievably good with its spicy, tangy seasoning; a must-order! -- Cumin Beef: my father--who usually dislikes anything that is unfamiliar--enjoyed this! -- Pork Belly with Sweet Potato Noodles: this special dish is rich and spicy --Eggplant, Bell Pepper, and Potato To top it off, the owner came out and talked to us about the history behind the names and ingredients of different dishes on the menu. So fascinating! We loved getting a taste of Chinese culinary history from him--what a cap to a delicious evening.

Read the positive reviews and visited for dinner. Came away underwhelmed. Nothing particularly bad,…read morebut nothing great either. Everything we ordered was flat-line on taste and flavor. Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior and stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet and Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat and flavor), and rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived! The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes and generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!

Upon an subsequent visit I can now say that the dim sums I mentioned above are spot on and the salt and pepper chicken rice bowl was also no slouch. I preferred the appetizers between the two and look forward to trying more of their focused and fun menu. Love the signature chopsticks and attention to packaging detail. They've got it going on!

Amazing Chinese food…read more Crowded with an all Chinese clientele - and all young people to boot. That is almost always an excellent sign. Very few American-Chinese//Canadian-Chinese dishes on the menu - though they exist. This may be a regional Chinese restaurant but I do not recognize the region. One visit and three dishes convinced me I have to go back rather than just eating around town. In the not to be missed department: Mushrooms fried in egg yolk. These are the most interesting fried mushrooms you will ever have. They are also the richest fried mushrooms you will ever have. You will adore every single bite - and if you are lucky you can eat 1/3 of a serving before being totally full. I believe the trick here is that the batter is 100 percent egg yolk no white no nothing else. They also do a salt and pepper tofu that is creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. How often do you see that? Braised seafood in ginger and garlic is the same dish you see in many other Chinese establishments but is lovely here. The squid is tough but the ginger is to die for. I am eager to get back. * * * * P.S. I DID get back. We ordered five more dishes. The amazingness quotient continues. Don't miss their fried spareribs.

I was expecting a more flavored experience and maybe that is not what they do or I could have ordered differently. The menu is huge so it is hard to know where to start. We went here because of the good Yelp reviews. Were we arrived in Chinatown there were many other places that looked great, so we loitered at the door for a minute while deciding what to do. As we loitered a family came out and noticed us and asked if were were going to Keung Kee. We said we were thinking about it and they said just go, it is the best restaurant in Chinatown. Sold. We went in, up the stairs, waited a bit, and got a table. This is the kid of place you need to bring a lot of people because that is whet it is built for, the menu is extensive, and the portions are huge. We puzzled over the menu then ordered our food. We wanted a bottle of cold sake and the waiter brought it in an ice bucket. Nice. We started with the pork dumplings. The dumplings were very goof but came in a hot thick sweet peanut sauce. With a lighter sauce these would have been outstanding. The scallop was huge and had a bunch of stuff on it. There was some good scallop flavor but it was masked with all the stuff that tasted like old oil. The noodle dish was good but also had some old oil flavor coming from somewhere. All the meats and vegetables were nice and fresh but the good sauce I think was the source of the oil. We saw a table next to us had the pork chops and was asked, what are those? So we got that too. The chops were thin bone in with a batter fried then soaked in a vinegar sauce. These would have been good as our only item with a bowl of rice. Our co-eaters there had many good looking things. I would give this a try again but would bring a few more people so we could try more stuff. Total for all that including the sake was $100 Canadian. Not bad!
