| - A HIDDEN GEM! It's away from the busy streets, so unless you are a keen observer or have a friend who is a local with great tastes in Asian cuisine, this place can easily be missed.
Here you have the option of boiling, steaming, or frying your dumplings. Personal suggestion is that you should also have the dumplings steamed. Especially with the shape these dumplings come in, all perfectly round. Plus, they weren't kidding about "juicy dumplings". These dumplings are packed with juice; another reason why I recommend that they should come steamed. If you don't bite these carefully, the table can get pretty messy. But as the Chinese say, a messy table indicates a meal well eaten. I've eaten dumplings all my life, in British Columbia mainly. Yet I have to say that these dumplings are the best ones I've had in my life!
You can dip them in vinegar, the traditional soy sauce, or oil with pepper flakes. Any of them goes well with these dumplings. Even if you mix any two of them. I tried the combination of soy sauce with the oil. Yum!
Service was quick! There was a good deal of people not of Asian descent, which goes to show that this place is indeed popular in Montreal. As though it couldn't get any better, I ate about 20+ dumplings and paid no more than $13.86 (including 15% tip). I think they're not picky about their tips here, unlike in other Chinese establishments, because I could input my own tip percentage. Yes, they accept cards now. I will definitely come again.
