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) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

If I could do more than 5 stars, I would. Staff is awesome and made ordering so easy for us (two English-only college girls). Seriously- Best. Dumplings. Ever. The chili oil they use is perfectly spicy and green tea is hot hot hot!!! The dining area is super cute and looks out to the street- perfect for people watching. Just visiting for the weekend but I will be going there again the next time I visit!!! read more

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. read more

Yum Yum - Shrimp and pork soup dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

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. read more

The absolute best dumplings I've ever had in my entire life. We've become regulars at Yum Yum. Puts the other soup dumpling spots to shame. Service is always quick, friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is very cute as well. read more

Some of the soup dumplings were better than others. We tried the recommended shrimp chive and coriander which was more flavorful than the pork and cabbage. We didn't realize there was 10 per batch so we couldn't quite finish. The ha gaow was good and fresh as was the edamame read more

Summary: a cute little restaurant serving some yummy Chinese food, especially their soup dumplings! Dumplings are made fresh and they offer a variety of different fillings. Their ingredients are so fresh! My husband and I were walking down the street one night and stumbled upon this place. From their front sign, it seems like they opened not too long ago as they offered grand opening specials. We ordered soup dumplings, one order for each of us (each order comes with 10 dumplings!). Each order came with a choice of an egg roll or wonton soup. I had the wonton soup and it was cleansing and not overly salty. My husband said the egg roll was alright. The soup dumplings were delicious and you can really tell that the cook uses fresh ingredients. Other soup dumplings I've had, they are always very salty. Yum Yum's dumplings are just right for my taste after dipping or pouring on some vinegar. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Love soup dumplings but this was the first time I saw a place offering lamb soup dumplings. I personally really like lamb so it was nice too see. The dumpling itself was delicious with very thin skin and loads of soup. read more

Worst dim sum place we have ever been to. Arrived and no one seated us. Waited for 10 mins to be seated. After seated water was brought out 10 mins later. We sat there for another 20 mins and no one came to take our order even though there are employees walking around doing nothing. We gave up and left. read more

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! read more

Extremely fast and delicious food! Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend them for a quick bite

Pretty dynamite dumpling spot. We ordered 3 soup dumplings and 2 regular (pan-fried/boiled). They were all quite delicious, with our favourite of course being the soup dumplings. Giving a 4/5 due to the fried spring rolls we ordered being a bit too oily -- flavour profile on that was good though, just too much oil. read more

I haven't done reviews in awhile but this place convinced me I needed to get on and do some for my recent trip. We were actually walking to a french restaurant for my birthday dinner when we passed a few dumpling spots on our way. This one caught our eye because we love soup dumpings and while yes we have them in Dallas, they're not great. So we said "let's just get one order and then go to the other expensive restaurant and not have to spend so much"...well as soon as I tried #117 (pork & shrimp xiao long bao) I knew that's what I wanted to eat for my birthday dinner! We slurped em up and ordered more and never bothered with the other restaurant. It seems to be a family run place and the server probably could have used a little help but I was shocked there aren't more reviews! Please go give them a try. I do wish they had fresh ginger dipping sauce to offer (when we asked for ginger they just gave us pickled sushi ginger) but other than that I'd eat these every day! read more

Really loved this place! Came for a long weekend trip with a couple of friends, and arrived Friday night STARVING and exhausted after a long drive. Yum Yum was extremely accommodating and stayed open late just for us! The food was delicious and filling, and incredibly affordable. They had great specials on drinks too. We were staying just down the road from Yum Yum, and found ourselves back multiple times during that one weekend (one guy ate there 3 times in less than 48 hours!). Most importantly, they are kind and welcoming, the food is great, and the kitchen looks spotless! read more

Best dumplings I have ever tasted - by far. The place it's self is okay, but the food is amazing! the people in there are very friendly and welcoming. A few minutes after we ordered, the waiter came back and told us that they were quite busy so we might have to wait a bit longer than usual. We were okay with that, and it was totally worth the wait! (We got our food within 15 minutes). We had different soup dumplings and they very all so tasty and so delicious! As you walk in to the restaurant you can see how they make the dumplings, because it is an open kitchen. Super cool! I would definitely go here again - I might even go there again tomorrow! read more

An extremely fortuitous find near our rental, these are hands down the best soup dumplings available in the city. Staff are extremely kind and attentive & their recommendations are to be taken as absolute gospel -- be adventurous and you will be blown away at what you find here! read more

Great dumplings! Wonderful little spot and be sure to try the house-made hot chili oil as a wonderful accompaniment! So delicious and they offer it for sale in small jars. Unfortunately there was a long wait for soup dumplings: it took over 40 minutes. When I asked my young server how much longer it would be, he replied, ' I don't know' . The older server was much more gracious, apologized: I had my food in 5 minutes. read more

They shouldn't have as many tables as they do if they can't handle them. The place seems at best overwhelmed and it took 45 min to get my order when the place was half empty. Food I am sure is great, but who knows as I didn't wait. read more

Came here for a take out. I ordered pork\shrimp soup dumpling and fried rice. Overall I think it's a decent restaurant, soup dumpling is good, but not at the very top level comparing with all the good soup dumplings I've tried in the very first store of Din-Tai-Feng in Taiwan and all others back in Asia. Fried rice is not as impressive, I wasn't amazed but not unhappy about the order. I would say it a good place to visit when you have homesick or just want some Asian-proofed Asian food. ;) read more

The best dumplings in montreal, I love the pork, shrimp and chives. Pretty bomb and cozy spot

We had walked past this restaurant and saw people eating great food so we decided to come back the next day for dinner. That's when we found out its actually a new restaurant! But oh man, so delicious everything they make it homemade. The noodles and dumplings are extra tasty. The service was very friendly. I will definitely be going back or ordering in! read more

Annie is the best waitress; she is super friendly and the foods are delicious! Its dumplings are far better than Ding Tai Fung in ARCADIA, CA, USA, where people diners willing to wait 2 to 3 hours to dine its restaurant chain. If you are planning to visit Montréal, this is a must enjoy. read more

This restaurant knocked our socks off. We had the soup dumplings, laksa and Hong Kong milk tea. Everything was delicious and the folks who run it are super sweet. They even make their own hot sauce - we bought a jar to take home with us. The food is so reasonably priced; if I lived in Montreal I would go here every week. read more

Great find in Montreal. Go for the soup dumplings... fantastic!!! Staff was friendly and helped me select menu items. House made hot oil served at table with dumplings. Great on a cold evening. read more

Waited forever to be seated and the place was dead. Took an hour to be served EDAMAME. And it was cold. I don't know how edamame could possibly take an hour. Food was served for everyone at different times and one of the waiters made my friend eat a dumping in front of him while it was boiling hot. Like he stood by the table and wouldn't leave until she took a bite. It was comically bad. Also the food was so salty I've been chugging water the entire night. Don't go. You're welcome. read more

BEST Chinese food ever, incredible customer service...I crave their food in my sleep. 10/10 recommend!

i'd never had soup dumplings before, dumplings filled with soup. omg AMAZING!!!! and very reasonable prices!!! can't go wrong
