  • Oh Dumplings! is Montreal's newest dumpling venue attempting to wrestle the top spot from Mai Xiang Yuan. Rather large and situated in a fairly good location right on Clark, the decor is new and even decent with a pseudo open kitchen and big windows letting in tons of light. Everything seemed pretty clean, but that could have just been the fact that it is new. Only time will tell. It appears as though they've given some thought to marketing and branding. They already have a website and according to the QR codes and Icons plastered on the front door they are all over the Web 2.0 sites including Yelp. Sadly with a quick review of their menu it's apparent that their marketing budget didn't include a spell checker. They could have gotten a bit more creative with the food photos. From the outside dumplings look more or less the same, so the single isolated dumplings seemed a bit silly to me. A nice try I suppose with all the marketing collateral, but restaurant's need to also consider service and of course the food. Other reviewers seemed to have problems with the service, but I found it OK. Granted we were the only customers at the time. By the end of the meal I could have used more water but all in all that's about par for the course in Montreal. Finally, on to the food. When I glanced at the prices I seriously considered walking out and just going to Mai Xiang Yuan. Expect to pay two or three dollars more per dish than the aforementioned restaurant. Others mentioned the rather thick skin on the dumplings and yeah they are some thick skins. I've eaten a lot of dumplings both here and in China and never have I had dumplings with such thick skin. To their credit, each dumpling was absolutely stuffed with filling. It was a sickeningly sweet filling unfortunately. I can only guess that they've made the filling a bit sweet in an attempt to cater to Western palates, but it sort of ruined them for me. Tellingly I actually left a couple dumplings on the plate, I just couldn't stomach any more dough or sweet filling. Clearly somebody poured a bucket load of money into establishing a brand. Unfortunately they spent way too much time fiddling with the marketing and not nearly enough time nailing down the food. Hands down Mai Xiang Yuan has better dumplings at better prices. Oh Dumplings! has a lot of work to do if they want to be a serious contender in the Montreal dumpling wars.
