We arrived in Montreal Sunday around noon and took to Yelp to find a good spot for lunch. As we quickly found, we're staying right across the street from Chinatown. With the advice of the Yelpers we went here for what were supposed to be amazing dumplings (spoiler: we were not disappointed).
It was busy, but a table opened just as we arrived. The service is lacking, but this is a really casual place and we weren't in a hurry. We ordered #20 boiled, those are the shrimp, pork, egg, and leek dumplings and the #2 fried, those are the pork and mushroom.
The #20 were incredible, a light but flavorful taste and the boiling was the perfect choice. The dumplings didn't have that watery feel you get in some places either. The fried pork and mushroom arrived next and were a good counterpoint to the light #20s. The fried bottoms had a nice texture and went well with the flavors, but we agreed that maybe we should have ordered them boiled. They were still quite good. I keep thinking about picking picking up a few ordered just before we leave to go home.
