| - To quote the owner/manager: "No, we do not have soy sauce!"
Me: "hahaha... oh, that wasn't a joke.
But you are a dumpling restaurant, right?"
Owner: "Soy sauce never goes with dumplings (insert his major eye roll)"
WHAT? I mean I am a major dumpling fan and have tried many different kinds in Montreal, NY, Tonroto's Chinatowns, and this is definitely a first. Who doesn't mix soy sauce, vinegar and chili with their dumplings? Or is it just me..
So, that pretty much sums up the service. Lots of attitude and peculiar dry sarcastic responses.
Besides this, the place was cute, tucked away just off Mont-Royal & Papineau. I quite enjoyed the eclectic design and furniture. If I had to describe it, it would be somewhere between a Dep, a take-out counter and a restaurant. You can either eat here or grab some to go (they even sell frozen dumplings).
Prices are very affordable, which is nice.
We ordered the ginger minis with peanut sauce, which were delicious as well as the duo (chicken and pork), good but not mind blowing. Minus the soy sauce situation, the food was all very nice.
All to say, it was good, so I' d probably go back and will definitely be buying more frozen ones.
