Mom's Pan-Fried Bun 老娘水煎包 | Downtown

So happy to have finally tried this place! I wish there were more dumpling flavours but the ones here did not disappoint l. They were soo tender! The noodles are nice and chewy, the flavours were all awesome. I see why they chained up quickly. Come to Leslieville!

My favourite Chinese spot for cheap eats! Everything on the menu is super affordable and EXTREMELY YUMMY. My favourites are definitely the pan-fried pork dumplings, the spicy popcorn chicken, the bean sprouts fried noodles, and the fried milk. Service is extremely fast and attentive. The team of chefs work wonders!!!

Had a wonderful dining experience here!! The pan fried buns were delicious and fresh, it’s not oily but very light and airy. The portions for everything, especially the noodles were very generous for the low price. Would 100% recommend over the other dumpling places on the street, this restaurant feels like home❤️

This was hands down one of our favorite meals in Toronto. It’s a no-frills spot but the food was out of this world. There was one woman working the floor, taking orders and greeting everyone, and she handled it like a pro. We ordered buns, noodles, a burger, and seaweed salad, and everything was fresh, fast, and delicious. We left full and happy. Family-friendly and so worth the stop.

For the price, 5 stars. The cold noodles were tasty, and the pan fried buns were awesome. The braised beef noodle soup kind of lacked but was good for the price. The steamed dumplings were meh, wish we went fried dumplings. They cheaped out on the cheese powder on the wings, was kind of sad. But for the price, not disappointed at all.

The food is so heart-warming, fresh and simple - just like home-cooked meals. We ordered braised beef noodle soup and beef with rice. Both of them tasted amazing! Looking forward to visiting more on cold days.

Everything is made fresh and quick! All dishes are under $10 so it’s an affordable spot. So I come back and try something different on the menu each time. I recommend the pan fried baos - it’s their signature. Crispy bottom with a juicy inside.

Amazing food for the price! The soup was especially good, was rich, flavourful, and comforting. The meat was super tender. The bowl is more than enough to fill you up. Their pan fried bun was just okay, nothing to rave about, but still decent considering the price
