Tried Qin’s Garden and was really impressed with the food quality. Their soup dumplings are juicy with a thin skin, and the pan-fried dumplings have a nice crispy bottom. The crab flavour soup dumplings were surprisingly rich and tasty. We also ordered the 酸辣汤, fried rice, golden corn cake and braised pork, everything came hot, flavourful and portions were generous. A cozy spot for comforting Shanghainese dishes. Great variety and good value. Will definitely come back to try more!

Absolutely worth it. Best soup dumplings I have ever had- made fresh to order and you can tell the difference with the high quality. Don’t even get me started on how good the garlic/Chinese broccoli dish is… Whenever I am in town I make a point of coming here. It’s almost always busy, which should say everything already. Service flows quickly and tables open up regularly. Reservations recommended if more than two people. They could charge a lot more than they do for what they offer. I am leaving this review to support them, but part of me wants to keep this place a secret! Love the staff and this place!!!

Held off trying this restaurant when it first opened because of the numerous reviews mentioning that the soup dumplings lean sweet, and they sure were correct. I've never had a soup dumpling with a sweet broth, but another reviewer mentioned this is what they're like from their hometown of Suzhou so that was cool to learn! I also found the ribs a bit too sweet personally, but the meat was so tender and fell off the bone easily! The pan-fried buns were also oddly sweet, while the pork and chive dumplings were standard. I would potentially revisit and maybe just order non-dumpling dishes.

Had an amazing experience at Qin's Garden. Authentic chinese food that was so delicious with each and every bite. From their juicy soup dumplings and buns to their tender beef ribs made from a 260-year old recipe, this place is the spot. Owner was so kind and sweet not just with us, but with all the customer which we love to see. Interior is warm and welcoming and truly added to our experience.

The food was so delicious! Highly recommend especially on a rainy day if you want something comforting and warm. The dumplings both steamed and pan fried were super juicy and the perfect temperature when you eat them. The scallion noodles was also fragrant and delicious! Will come back here again!

Everything was really great. I really like the wonton soup but I think wonton itself could be a bit better. Pork ribs was a little sweet but was flavourful. I was hyped to have the soup dumpling but was a little disappointed as it’s soup was not flavourful like I expected.

I recently tried the xiaolongbao from this restaurant, and they were absolutely delicious. The wrappers were thin and delicate, yet strong enough to hold the rich, flavorful soup inside. Each dumpling was perfectly steamed, bursting with juicy broth and tender meat. I especially loved the balance of seasoning—it tasted fresh, warm, and comforting without being too salty. The dipping sauce paired really well and enhanced the overall flavor. If you enjoy authentic and satisfying dumplings, I highly recommend trying their xiaolongbao. It’s definitely a dish I would come back for again!

Tucked away in Toronto’s Chinatown, Qin’s Garden is more than a restaurant — it’s a living archive of Chinese culinary heritage. For nearly seven years, they’ve brought the flavors of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province to the city, drawing on recipes that have been lovingly preserved and perfected for over 260 years. Each dish is a tribute to time-honored tradition. The soup dumplings are delicate works of art, filled with fragrant broth that speaks to generations of craftsmanship. The Wuxi-style ribs, slow-braised according to an 18th-century recipe, carry the richness of history in every bite. Even the potstickers, hot & sour soup, and sweet corn pancake highlight the balance, generosity, and cultural pride that define Wuxi cuisine. What makes Qin’s Garden truly special is its philosophy: “A Bite of Heritage. A Taste that Lingers.” Portions are generous, flavors are refined, and prices remain accessible — ensuring this heritage can be shared widely. Right now, you can enjoy their Soup Dumpling Tasting Set starting from $8.99, or visit on Sundays for their buy ribs, get Hot & Sour Soup free special. Qin’s Garden isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a chance to taste living history, carried from one generation to the next, now served in the heart of Toronto.

Went another time with my family. Service was very kind and attentive. The lunch specials from 11:30am to 2pm has dishes at $10 which I think is great. Unfortunately the other dishes I had were very mediocre. We had the beef chow mein, which I found a bit too oily and rather ordinary. We also ordered the crab noodles which I found just okay as well. They use the same type of noodles in the chow mein. It has a very light flavour with a good amount of ginger. I had the soup dumplings again and they were good. I recommend getting those for sure. Total came out to about $100 for 5 people.

First impressions of this place was that the decor and the place was so pretty! With regards to the dumplings I've tried: the steamed soup dumplings w/pork and the steamed soup dumplings w/crab meat & pork I really enjoyed them! I thought the soup was very sweet tasting which I enjoyed and found very yummy and delicious. One thing I would say is that the dumplings are expensive for only 4 pieces. I would consider this place a premium dumpling location in terms of taste and the dough. The place also wasn't too busy on a Sunday night. Overall, service was also pretty good! Servers were accommodating, refilled our water and gave us napkins without asking. review from Nov10, 2024

Friend and I wanted to try this place because we always see people posting it on social media. luckily stumbled on their lunch promos where a few of the dishes are discounted. $9.99 for 4 soup dumplings. We got the crab and shrimp soup dumplings. both were lacking flavour, soup, and it wasn't hot. usually the soup will burn your mouth if you know you know... you can find better alternative restaurants around the same area. The restaurant itself was okay, they played rock music the whole time and I do not think it matches their aesthetic. The cups and plates were sticky as well. I would give the food a 3/10 and I wouldn't come back unless there was a really good deal. I give an extra star because our server was super nice and friendly.

XLB cravings! I tried 3 kinds of XLBs, and Crab & Pork is the winner! Busy at work and needed self-care - XLB is the best comfort food and here I was to try 3 different XLBs to take out just for myself lol. One note; Qin's Garden XLB is sweet. If you are fan of Ding Tai Fung then you may not like it at first. But the way they present their XLB is genuine, beautifully and carefully hand pleated, simply beautiful. I appreciate this, because many XLBs available in the city are machine pleated these days. Ordered: # Crab & Pork XLB # Shrimp & Pork XLB # Beef XLB Crab & Pork XLB was the best - the integration of stuffing, soup, decoration on top and the wrapper - was the best among these 3. Smooth. Sweet soup is not what I like but it had depth in flavor. Shrimp & Pork XLB's shrimp on top was plump and crispy - good. But overall, I felt that the shrimp was just a topping to pork XLB as I did not feel as much shrimp favor I wanted when all the XLB elements (stuffing, soup and wrapper) were in my mouth. Great presentation though. The integration of these elements are not as smooth as Crab & pork one. Beef XLB was new to me, glad that I had a chance to try it. But I found that the meat was a bit stringy, which made this XLB less smooth in the mouth. I am not a fan of sweet flavored XLBs, but it is just my preference and may be because of my ignorance to diverse XLB histories. Their presentation, craftmanship and genuineness are something I really want to cheer for. Simply beautiful. So - 4 stars!

We came as a family of 8 including baby. They were able to quickly accommodate a big table for us and was mindful of how rambunctious the toddlers in our group was being. The food was delicious and was easy to order and pay with a tablet.

This is an absolute heaven for all XLB lovers. If you ever found yourself in Chinatown and craving for great quality XLB, this is where you should go. All dumplings are made in-house to ensure you get the freshest batch. The restaurant is bright, and lots of tables, but it does get busier as time goes by so make sure you arrive early or have your friends snag a table first! You order via QR code, and the prices for each dish is reasonable and affordable. With the XLB, since they are wrapped and steamed at order, you will need a bit of a wait for your order to arrive. When they have a sign outside calling themselves having the LARGEST soup dumplings in Toronto, they are not wrong! Their shrimp XLB is certainly larger than all the XLB I have had before, with a WHOLE SHRIMP in your dumpling that is so soupy!! We also ordered the mini fish wontons, which comes in a tin mug with some toppings- shredded, seaweed, eggs, tofu skins, that you are supposed to dump into the light soup. The soup is very light, almost not a lot of taste, so it is a good choice to clean your palate before hitting the heavier, more flavourful dishes. We have also order the fried sliced handmade pancake with beef, thinking of how unique it sounds. However, this dish does not worth $17.50 as it is simply shredded pancake acting as "noodles" with tons of cabbage and barely any beef.

This place has been on my list of places to eat for a while after I've heard it has the best dumplings in Toronto. To test that claim we ordered a few varieties including their pan fried buns, soup dumplings and boiled dumplings. The soup dumplings were by far the best with a good amount of filling and the broth being quite flavourful. However, the boiled dumplings and pan-fried dumplings were lacking a bit of flavour and the panfried dumplings had a little too much bread for the amount of stuffing. The ordering system is through a QR code which corresponds to your table number and sends the order directly to the kitchen. It's an efficient way of order taking that allows you to peruse the whole menu without being rushed. Servers were also very attentive and quick to take away finished plates. The space also was relaxed and had Chinese influence. There was a stunning wallpaper with blossom and bird motifs and upside down hanging paper umbrellas on the ceiling. There were some touches that could be improved in the space such as sticky notes on the wall for table numbers. However I really liked that Qin's has gender neutral inclusive bathrooms. Overall, I would like to try more of their soup dumplings in the future as they seemed like the star of the meal and what is raved about most!

Founded in 1751 in Wuxi, China, this is Qin's Garden's first location overseas. Everything is bigger in North America. Even then, we managed to finish 3 trays of xiaolongbao, 2 trays of steamed dumplings, 1 tray of pan fried dumplings, a chicken appetizer and fried eggplant with minced pork. So good! The xiaolongbaos are bigger than I'm used to current day Asia, but are typical of those from earlier waves of Asian migration. The staff are friendly and the decor is tasteful and relaxing. Please note that they only have a paper menu of their seasonal specials. Use your phone to pull up their regular menu and place an order.

The soup dumplings were decent. Chicken was soso it didn't look appetizing. I had high expectations from social media but my experience was a bit underwhelming. This place need improvement on their cleanliness. The utensils were dirty and oily.

This was our second time going to Qin's garden, and we were still impressed by the quality of the dumplings, especially the soup inside! The Service was prompt and friendly, and the tables were very clean. The noodles were a little lacking in flavor with not much chicken. We will definitely return for the dumplings though!

Came here for dinner and tried the pork XLB, crab XLB, pan fried juicy buns, tomato egg chow mein and the braised pork belly. I knew Wuxi cuisine would be sweet but it was way too sweet for my taste. The XLB was freshly steamed with lots of soup inside, but the flavours itself is mostly sweet and takes over the palate. The filling was also really firm and not the delicate texture I'm used to for a Shanghai or Taiwanese style XLB. Pan fried buns were cooked well with a fluffy bun texture but again had the same filling as the soup dumplings and quite sweet. The pork belly was very tender but again very sweet that took over any depth of flavour there may have been from the braising spices. The tomato egg chow mein had a bit of ok hei but the noodles were a bit broken up and somewhat bland. The servers are approachable but the dishes come out very very slowly, one at a time so we were waiting till the food already cooled down for the next thing so that's we could eat some of the dishes together.

Service was friendly but the food was subpar. Came here with my family after hearing this place has the best xiao long bao's in the downtown core. Those rumours are untrue We ordered every version of the soup dumplings. They are all the same. The only difference is what they put on top (crab meat, shrimp, nothing). The meat inside is exactly the same. They are big but they don't taste good. The skin is also too thick. Hard pass.

First soup dumpling I've had in a WHILE where I can actually taste the soup! I was so impressed by these crab and pork soup dumplings. The dough was thick enough to not overpower the soup inside. Really well done The mini pork wonton soup was also refreshing balance. The broth was just right and nice to have on the side. Inside is pretty spacious and modern. We were relieved not to have gone to Mothers Dumpling nearby that looked overcrowded and noisy. Staff was really nice too - lots of smiles from the staff Thanks!

So, to be honest I don't look at Tik Tok or IG for reviews of places. I look at more legit sources like Yelp and Google. I came here because my friend heard the food is decent. Service is non-existent, you just order from your phone and they bring it out to you. They don't really come and check it on you. The restrooms are different from most places I've been to. Just check it out. We ordered a variety of items to try. We had crab meat and pork steamed soup dumplings, crystal shrimp and pork steamed soup dumplings, pork and shrimp wonton, and crab meat steamed rice. Yes, it is true that both of the steamed soup dumplings were mid. Skin was thick and the flavor was lacking. The crab meat steamed rice was a nice dish, I could easily eat that more often. Pork and shrimp wonton was decent. Overall, the presentation looks better than it tasted. Prices were slightly expensive. People are so quick to give 1 star but this was just okay. 3 stars is accurate.

This is just an average dumpling spot. The soup dumpling skins are thick. There are much better alternatives downtown and especially uptown. The service is good for China town. But the food is a just average.

I have never had food like this before. Not out of my comfort zone, because I'm a yelper, but not something I was searching for either. It wasn't close to the stadium hotel, about a mile and a half walk, worth the exercise in the right shoes that I was not wearing. The food and service made up for my foot discomfort (that had absolutely nothing to do with them! Lol) We asked what was the waiters favorite thing and he said Soup pork dumplings! My life is different now and I doubt I will ever find a dumpling that compares. It was a dumpling with a soft sweet dumpling exterior and a dumpling middle but in between the dumpling and the meat was soup!!! He explained you bite the top off suck out the soup and eat the rest of the dumpling! OH MY THOR IT WAS VAHALLA's MANA! Even with a big mouth one bite will lose the soup like a juicy grape. So delicately eat this delicious treat. I would have ordered only these and been 100% satisfied with my choice but we also ordered Cabbage pork rolls, Wontons, and Home style tofu! It was all ala carte and all ala delicious!! The food was at Decent prices and worth every penny! I bet these are the dumplings that are the amazing talk of the town in kung fu panda that Po's dad makes! These are worth screaming about!! I will chase the hope of finding these dumplings and delicious foods while in any city with a China town dumpling place! Please go eat here! It's 1000% worth it!!

I went to Qin's on the recommendation of a bunch of Tik Tok/IG reviewers. It could be my upbringing in Scarborough & Agincourt, but I do not recommend Qin's for traditional soup dumplings. Portions are a decent size (4 per steamer) and the dumplings themselves are a good size, but their flavour profile leans on the sweet side. I admit I am not a sweet + savoury fan, and can excuse it (possibly) for the crab dumplings, but the beef, pork, and crab dumplings all trended to the sweet side. Not my jam.

Been seeing this on instagram and it looked like a good potential place for juicy soup dumplings. Ordered their signature juicy shrimp dumplings (4pcs) & pan fried buns (4pcs) = $23.71 Between the two, we probably prefer the pan fried bun version, but we noticed the soup is a bit sweet and the meat texture is not super tender like most we've had it. Overall its okay, but for the price point and quality, we not a fan.

Won tons were very very Meh! Soup had no flavour. The pork buns were good but cheap in their filings. I didn't try their Xio Long Bao and maybe should have instead of the won tons. Extreme mediocre food. Even my won tons and pork buns are better. Now I know. Service was descent and the restaurant was very nicely decorated.

Qin's Garden has served Wuxi cuisine since 1751, and this is their first store in North America. Their speciality is xiaolongbao, but they do have a wide variety of other Chinese dishes including one of favourites (spicy boiled fish in hot chili). All soup dumplings are freshly made to order, and significantly larger than the average Wuxi dumplings. The dumplings were filled with juicy meat fillings, and definitely larger than the average sized ones. Note that the dumplings here do have a sweeter taste to them. So it's good to order a saltier or spicy dish to compliment the flavour. We will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes.

service 5/5 staff are very polite and friendly. service is quick. overall food 3.5/5 we ordered a few items to share among 3 people. fried steam bun 5/5 juicy, dough is soft and fluffy. not dense at all. the meatball itself is really small though. flavour is delicious! soup dumpling w.pork 3/5 the steamed soup dumplings we had high hopes for, but the flavour over all is what fell short for us. the wrapper is a tad thick and the soup dumpling is actually quite sweet. we were expecting it to be savoury, but its not bad. we like the fried steam baos better. beef fried rice 3/5 it definitely has that smoked wok taste but minis points for chewy beef pieces (almost all of it) and the green peas had serious freezer burn. they were so dry, hard and chalky. please dont use the bad peas :( steamed veggies (bok choy & gluten balls) 4/5 the flavours great! but the glutens were way over cooked. they crumbled everywhere and you only get teeny tiny pieces.. not as satisfying to eat :( maybe next time we will ask for it to be less soft... fried pumpkin pancake w.red bean filling 4/5 pretty good pumpkin red bean combo here, but it was too oily.. think warm mochi but w.a sweet red bean paste filling, and a little crunch to the shell. green onion fried pockets 3/5 the filling is good (green onions, clear noodles, mushrooms) but the shell/dough is too thick. also not fried long enough because it was floppy, soggy and oily. if it was cooked properly it would be quite delicious! sticky rice sieu mai 3/5 the aticky rice is good, just needs a pinch of salt for flavour. the dough is a tad too thick, making it overall very heavy. because the dumpling is a bit bigger than your usual, it really fills you up. overall food is good and you should give it a try if youre in the area.

We came here on a Monday night around dinner time and it wasn't too busy! The inside looks new and modern. For two people, we got: - Pork steamed soup dumplings 4pc - Wuxi spare ribs 2pc - Braised pork belly 10pc - Pan fried juicy dumplings 4pc The dumplings were delicious and definitely on the larger side. The soup is sweeter than what I'm used to which I believe is characteristic of Wuxi style soup dumplings. The spare ribs and pork belly were my favourites! We felt full afterwards and it came to around $25/p before tip. The only thing I wish I ordered is something savoury/spicy to balance it out since all the dishes we got were sweet.

I'm a soup dumpling girly and these are prob some of the best I've tried. They're on the sweeter side bc it's Wuxi style but I liked the sweetness and it's not overpowering. The xlb are bigger than usual and have a lot of soup and filling so I think the price is worth it. The pan fried pork buns were good but the bread-to-filling ratio was off for me - it could've had more filling Also ended up getting bok choy as a side and maps tofu which were both good. Cute family-run place. I came here twice, a little closer to closing time and it wasn't super busy so food came out quickly and everything tasted fresh.

Qin's garden was interesting to me. I know they specialized in XLB (soup dumplings) it is quite pricey compared to the other well known place. But yeah I totally enjoyed it. Especially the Crab + Pork steamed soup dumpling. These dumplings are so huge!! definitely not the same style as I used to consume in my home city (Shanghai.) The skin is a bit thicker than a place like DTF, but not that bad. The overall dumpling is bigger and I think its warrant their price point. The interior is quite refreshing, I feel like they don't really utilize the backroom to its full potential. I had to research a lot about chinese cuisine to understand how its the same but slightly different. It's a regional variation. Wasn't too big of a fan of their mini dumplings in soup. But the one with vegetables was absolutely perfect. It made me reminiscent the times I eat wontons on the bustling streets of shanghai. The other dishes such as the crab noodles are also good. It might not be a looker but the flavour is highly on point. Service was also quite nice and had no issues.

My friend and I arrived here around 2PM today (Saturday). It took about 5 mins for a waiter to acknowledge us and then we had to wait about 15 more mins for a table. There was a whole seating area in the back with tables set, but they weren't being used. The inside of the store itself looked nice aesthetically and it was clean. The service wasn't the best. It took at least 30 mins for our food to arrive after we ordered. No one ever came to check on our table and it was difficult to get a waiter's attention for water refills. We ordered the pork soup dumplings ($7.99 for 4) which were quite pricey. The dumplings were huge, completely filled with pork and contained lots of soup. However, they tasted very different compared to typical XLB because the soup inside was sweet. This could be a pro or a con (I liked them but my friend hated them). The sautéed chicken with hot peppers ($13.99) tasted decent and the spiciness was only slightly above mild. The boiled pork and Chinese cabbage dumplings ($8.99 for 10) were probably the best deal but they tasted quite average.

I've been here twice now and have gotten the soup dumplings both times. They're a must have, I'd recommend both the pork and crab soup dumplings. The fried pork bun is also a MUST. For those familiar with Shanghainese cuisine, most of the dishes are sweet and savoury, beyond the soup dumplings I also enjoyed the pork belly and eggplant dishes. I appreciated the bill splitting at the end. They also take credit! Highly recommend if you love soup dumplings, some of the best in the city.

Really enjoyed this stop, soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings were a little on the sweet side, but overall a delicious dumpling! I would describe this as "casual" as you order on your phone and they bring you the food pretty quickly. Restaurant has a relaxed, cozy vibe. Perfect rainy day food.

Decided to come here when my partner and I were craving soup dumplings! We got the real crab meat tofu, the three whites filling wontons, glutinous siu mai and steamed pork soup dumplings. For some reason I was expecting something else for the tofu dish, maybe I got it mixed up with another tofu dish but it was still yummy! Just thicker than I expected. The wontons were yummy as well, came with loads of toppings that you place into the bowl after the server gives it to you. My partner really wanted the glutinous siu mai as it reminded of his childhood in Wuhan! It was my first time trying it! But the main character of the dinner was the soup dumplings, they were so so juicy and full of soup and flavour. You won't be disappointed if you come here! Everything was great and it's located in the middle of Chinatown. I would def come again!

I ordered one order of the steamed pork dumplings (6 pcs) and one order of the veggie option (6 pcs). At $8.50 and $11 for each dish respectively, this isn't exactly a cheap dumpling shop. That being said, the dumplings were filled packed with high quality filling. The pork had none of the porky taste in generally averse to. It was succulent, satisfying, and the proportion with the dumpling wrapper was perfect. The veggie option was less hearty but no less delicious. Glass noodles, shiitake mushrooms, and bok choy pair very nicely, especially when dipped in the accompanying hot chilli oil. In terms of the delivery, the meal was well packaged and came hot. They don't include chopsticks, unfortunately. Overall, my dumpling experience at Qin's Garden was a nice surprise. Hard to beat the more affordable options across the city, but if you're looking for dumplings to spend a bit more on, I don't think you'll be disappointed by these.

Had to stop in to try the famous soup dumplings I'd seen on Tiktok. They were very tasty but worth the 9.99 price point for 4 dumplings, unfortunately I'd say no.

Michael L.

I saw this all over social media and was excited for a soup dumpling place open up in Chinatown! But to be quite honestly four dumplings for $9.99 is a little steep in my opinion, you would need to order quite a few to just be full when you can go to juicy dumplings and be full paying half the price. I will say though it is super fresh since they make each it to order and the ingredients do taste good. I don't think I would go back and probably a one time thing.

we heard about soup dumplings off of tiktok and heard these were the best place to get them. we ordered the chicken chow mein which was tender and flavourful, the sauce was delicious. we also ordered the chinese cabbage and pork spring rolls. i've never had springrolls with wet filling, but they were delicious. an explosion of flavour. the pastry was flaky but sturdy, did not flake everywhere. the soup dumpling were phenomenal. we ordered the shrimp and pork ones. the soup was sweet and heart warming. the shrimp was perfect and they held their shape, despite being filled with liquid which is quite impressive. the staff were very kind and welcoming. the only reason we did not give this 5 stars is because the service was a tad bit slow.

The pan fried juicy pork buns are wild. I live in Ottawa and if anyone goes into Toronto I get them to bring me them back for me.

Delicious assortment of dim sum and foods in this restaurant! The food is authentically Chinese, and reminds me of the flavors found in Shanghai and Wuxi. Definitely order the Wuxi ribs, and the wonton soups!

i liked their dumplings !! i thought they would have a bigger selection but they only had 3 options and they were a little pricy: $9.99 for 4 dumplings, braised pork ($16.99/10pcs) wasn't bad but a little too expensive to ever get again tbh // $1.99 for a coke but $2.29 for nestea ... prices aside, the real 3/5 rating is bc of the waitstaff ... they would very obviously ignore us when we would try to get their attention ... if the service was better it would have been much nicer experience and maybe i would think about going back for those yummy kinda pricy dumplings ... will i come back again anytime soon ? probably not but i'm not saying never i did enjoy the dumplings
