Qing Hua Dumpling - (ChinaTown & Boul. St-Laurent)

BRING THE PUMPKIN ONES BACK! (Yes I would love to know what happened) The others are good too (vegetarian) . The service was good and it’s always a very inviting environment. Go to spot for dumplings in mtl. Even when there’s a lot of people service is usually fast. Fair price - portion - taste

This is the place I have come for dumping for a few times. The service is slow but ok, and the waiters are friendly and smiling. When you receive the dumplings it's super hot which is expected but after two minutes the skin gets rubbery and chewy which makes you think it is a reheated frozen dumpling but still the filling is juicy and yummy. Not to mention the price is still reasonable.

As a self-proclaimed dumpling aficionado, I couldn’t resist stopping by Qing Hua Dumpling in Chinatown Montreal for dinner. Known for their fresh dumplings made to order, this spot is a go-to for many, and I finally had the chance to see what the hype was all about. We ordered the Chef’s Special Dumplings and the classic Shrimp, Pork, and Chive Dumplings. Let me start with the standout: the shrimp dumplings. These were everything I could hope for—plump, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The shrimp and pork combo was perfectly balanced, with the chives adding that subtle aromatic kick. The dumpling skin was the right thickness, holding the filling together without overpowering the bite. Absolute perfection! Now, onto the Chef’s Special. Unfortunately, this one didn’t live up to the name. While the dumplings were good, they lacked the wow factor I was expecting, especially compared to the shrimp dumplings. The flavors were a bit muted, and I kept wishing for that extra pop that never came. A bonus point? They accept cashless payments, which makes the whole experience more convenient! Pro tip: Stick with the classics here—they’re classics for a reason. The shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings are definitely worth the trip. Pair them with their house-made dipping sauce, and you’re in for a treat. Overall, Qing Hua Dumpling delivers on quality and freshness, but some dishes shine brighter than others. Highlight: Shrimp, Pork, and Chive Dumplings Would I come back? For those shrimp dumplings? 100% yes!

I used to frequent their Lincoln Street spot near Concordia—always my go-to for meals with friends, and it never disappointed. Even with new competitors, no other dumpling place matches their quality and taste. Fried or steamed, everything’s excellent—especially the lamb & coriander, pork-leek-shrimp, and even the tofu. The Chinatown location has a great vibe and faster service than ever. Wishing them continued success!

Simple, delicious dumplings. What more could you need? We got the pork, shrimp, and chive dumpling and used the dipping soy sauce pre-mixed with vinegar. Great traditional taste. We also got a pan fried curry beef dumpling and used it primarily with the chili oil — so good. Try it out!

Simple and functional place. No cozy seating. Service was okay. The dumplings varied in quality, but I liked the surprise offer. Qing Hua is very cheap compared to what you are getting.

This place has never let us down. It’s hands down one of the best dumpling spots we've ever found, and we keep coming back for more. Even during peak hours, when there’s often a wait, the staff is incredibly thoughtful. They make sure you’re seated as quickly as possible based on the size of your group, though larger parties might need a bit more patience. We’ve tasted their shrimp soup and hot and sour soup, and both were delicious. They also serve some truly authentic spring rolls. As for the dumplings, we've tried both steamed and pan-fried, but the steamed ones have won our hearts. Our all-time favorites are the chicken coriander and curry chicken dumplings. If you can’t decide between steamed and fried, you can even get a half-and-half order for just 50 cents extra. If you find yourself downtown or near Chinatown, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Fast, simple, delicious dumplings! I go there often and it always as good! The service is fast, the dumplings are well cooked and i love the choices of dumplings! It always hits at the good place and it's affordable!
