| - Honestly I came to Montreal hoping to get away from all the Asian cuisine offered in Toronto, but as I was walking to my hotel through Chinatown on an empty stomach I got desperate and stumbled into this dumpling place, with a cute dumpling sign above the door. Now, I have nothing against Asian cuisine, it's just that I have dumplings all the time and can have it whenever I want. Despite all this prejudice, I have to say, these were some of the BEST dumplings I have had. It's a little bit ridiculous how much I enjoyed these dumplings when I tried so hard to avoid Chinese food in Montreal. I ordered the boiled pork and leek dumplings and the fried lamb and onion dumplings. The servings were definitely worth the price, came in a big plate of about 12-15 for less than $10. The boiled dumplings were absolutely perfect, while the fried ones could have been better, they were a little burnt and hard, which took away from the taste. Overall very good dumplings and came pretty quickly too. The staff spoke English, French and Mandarin fluently. I also really liked the cups, soy sauce plates and teapots they had.
