Pork and mushroom dumpling
Jennifer P.

The Short Version: Great little Asian restaurant in the Plateau that specializes in dumplings but also has other items. Food was tasty. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here and we really enjoyed it. I initially was going to get their soup dumplings (their specialty), but when I looked at the menu, I saw that they had Laksa ($18.99), so I couldn't resist ordering that instead. My husband prefers pan-fried dumplings over soup dumplings, so he got the pork and mushroom dumplings ($14.50) and there was a $1.99 surcharge for pan-frying (the base price is for steamed). My Laksa was huge and delicious. The broth was so rich with coconut milk and a bit spicy. It was really flavourful. The noodles had a nice chew to them. The soup also contained some decent-sized shrimp, velvetized sliced chicken, cubes of tofu and a boiled egg. I wished it had some vegetables in though because I felt very unhealthy eating just starch and protein, lol. I did enjoy it though ;) I had one of my husband's dumplings and it was good. It had ground pork in it and chopped up mushrooms. There was a slight gingery taste to it. I liked it and my husband liked them too. Service was very pleasant. The server refilled our waters regularly and I like that the water had ice in it and was very cold. The restaurant is not too large and has seating on a main level then up a few steps they have 4 more tables of 4 by the front window. We walked there from our hotel, but as with pretty much all businesses in The Plateau it's street parking only. Review #209 (2025)

Restaurant front from across the street.

Staying in this Montreal neighborhood for a couple of days & Yum Yum was right across the street. We ordered peanut dumplings, cucumber salad & and spring rolls . All 3 were freshly made & ready for pickup in 10 minutes. Dumplings were soft, delicate & the peanut sauce was amazing. Gentlemen taking orders(owner?) was polite & efficient, repeating the order back again on pick up. Appetizer size portions were inexpensive and once we started eating, I almost placed a 2nd order as it was outstanding.

Shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings

This place was oh so close to hitting a homerun with us! We came here on a recent Friday night for dinner, and the cozy dining room was busy enough but we saw at least one open table, but were told by staff that we would need to wait about 10-15 minutes to be seated. This is not a massive space, and I kinda digged the unassuming, bustling local restaurant vibe. There were two pairs of people in front of us but they turned out to be picking up, so we were seated probably right about when they said we would get a table. The menu is uncomplicated, and we settled on the shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings (12 pcs) and seafood laksa. There was a chili next to the laksa on the menu and when I asked staff, we were told that it was impossible to make it less spicy. Food came out without much delay. The dumplings were possibly some of the best I've had, and if someone told me they made them to order, I'd totally believe it because they tasted freshly made. The fillings were tender and flavourful, and the honey soy sauce was just right for dipping because it wasn't overly salty. The laksa is where Yum Yum lost an extra star. Apart from the fact that the broth was so spicy that it almost made me gag when I occasionally accidentally inhaled it, it seemed that they have added their own touches to the authentic laksa in that the broth wasn't as rich as I'm used, and the noodles weren't the typical fine ones that I've come to expect. Having said that, the toppings were cooked to perfection, and the overall flavour was enjoyable. By the way, the lady who sat next to our table and got the same laksa as us was clearly having trouble with the spiciness as well. Curiously, the staff offered the lady to make the broth less spicy, which the lady politely declined, but it did make me wonder about whether they can make it less spicy for people like us and her who enjoy the flavour but can't handle the broth as it is. All in all a great experience, and we would definitely consider going back.

Really wanted some soup dumplings even with the winter storm happening so went to this place as it was the closest one to our accommodation. Food came out a bit slower than usual but the staff did inform us it might take a bit. Really enjoyed the peanut rolls, the soup dumplings were just okay (I've had better ones). I think it's still pretty decent for the price though.

Whenever I am in Montreal this is a must stop for soup dumplings. All freshly made to order. Taste is amazing.

Soup dumplings

What a surprise this little dumpling restaurant is! It's just down the street from where we are staying in Le Plateau and it got great reviews so we decided to give it a try. Saturday night at 6:30 and they were pretty full but we were able to get a table right away. They did great business with a steady turnover of tables and a thriving to-go and delivery business. There was just one server and he was super busy but really nice and attentive- my water was always full! Hubs had his first soup dumplings (the shrimp, pork and chive ones everyone raved about in other reviews) and the owner came out and showed him the proper way to eat them! I had the vegetable soup and the mashed potato dumplings which I loved. Their house made chili oil was out of this world and you can actually buy jars of it (which I did). Food is a little slow to come out because all the dumplings are made to order. Talk about fresh! The only thing I didn't love was the side of kimchi that I ordered. It wasn't bad, just not for me. We loved everything else and would absolutely go back!

Food: good! An order of soup dumpling comes with 10. I wanted more after. I wasn't hungry after finishing, but I wasn't fully full either. Service: the guy let me pick where I wanted to sit and he helped me order. I wish that they would have checked in on me after I had received my food. I might have ordered more food then. Ambiance: the place is okay. It's clean and has a lot of seatings.

Ate at Yum Yum because I just happened to be walking by and looked in the window and the food looked amazing. We got the vegetable fried rice, vegetable noodles, and the #39 and #40 dumplings. The friend rice was the best I've ever tasted in my life. Not too salty & very creamy, plus the vegetables were all fresh. I was surprised when the noodles came out and they were crunchy but I ended up loving the dish. Not something I would've tried intentionally but glad we got them because they were delicious. The favorite of all was the mashed potato dumplings! The dumpling dough was perfectly chewy and the potatoes inside were creamy and flavorful. Best of all, the family that runs this place is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Absolute 10/10 experience. So glad I stumbled upon this place and I will be back.

Pork and Cilantro Dumplings
Thierry O.

It was great first experience visiting this restaurant. Food was very flavourful for the price and well presented! Good seafood in Laksa, and everything was fresh! For the Soup Dumplings I ordered the Pork and Cilantro and they were very juicy! Place was clean! Packaging was also very presentable and staff was very friendly!

Soup dumplings-shrimp pork and mushroom

This has been my favorite meal in Montreal. A cozy restaurant with incredible staff. My server took the time to explain the menu to me, and told me their specialty was the soup dumplings. I chose those along with some dim sum. An extremely kind woman came from behind the counter and taught me the proper way to eat the soup dumplings - what a phenomenal experience! Highly, highly recommend. The food was delicious.

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.

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 were impressed with the quality of the ingredients, particularly the flavorful broths.

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!

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!
