The Dumpling Hut

Most of our impressions of dumpling restaurants are: crowded, noisy environment, and unaesthetic design. However, I found a dumpling restaurant that feels like home! It is called——The dumpling hut. From the dough to the fillings, everything is handmade. Fennel dumplings, lamb dumplings, and vegetarian dumplings are all very good. You can eat in the restaurant or buy semi-finished products to take home.

An absolute to have dumplings if you are in Montreal. Best dumplings I ever had. They are so juicy and flavourful. I tried their lamb coriander and Egg tofu zucchini dumplings , they were just delicious. It’s a cute little set up with descent dine in space. The service is pretty quick. You can also buy frozen dumplings from them. I am definitely visiting this place every time I am in Montreal.

Probably the best dumplings I've had in Montreal. Authentic Chinese dumplings. The owner and staff are super friendly. Very charming dining environment. Highly recommended from a long time customer.

Nice chill atmosphere and good value for money. It has a more of a house vibe than a commercial restaurant which is nice. Vegan tofu dumplings were great, around $15

amazing pork zucchini and shrimp dumplings. rich broth of the wonton soup while sitting you can see the chef rolling the dumplings and wontons by hand by far a must see place with a cute ambiance with delicious food as fresh as it can get

A 15% service charge is required. Sometimes you have to wait longer if there are not enough people. The handmade dumplings taste delicious.

Dumplings are really good! There is one vegetarian option with egg and two vegan options available. A little card but very good dumplings. Dumplings can be steamed or fried (both is very good). Can recommend

Not like other Asian restaurants, this place only serves so many kinds of dumpling! It’s quiet and nice restaurant, the cucumber salad is spicy but good spice! I only 16 dumpling and very satisfied!

such a chill spot, and some super tasty, large portioned, and relatively inexpensive dumplings. def stop by if you're in the neighborhood.

Small place with great dumplings! At the entrance they have a really cool concept which is allow you to write a message or draw anything that your heart desires and pin it on the wall or roof if you jump high enough! The service was surprisingly really fast and they serve a cute tea set! We got the beef coriander and a pork one. They were both really good! If you like dumplings I recommend this place! One of the best I had.

Succulent dumplings. Absolutely SLAPPED. Washroom kinda sus - good reading material. Super cute family vibes.

Very good dumplings. We got 2 Regular-sized dumpling sets and a cucumber salad and it was sufficient to feed 3 hungry 25 year olds. 1 egg zucchini tofu set and 1 pork cabbage set. The dumplings are very mildly flavored; the most discernible flavor in the veggie set was the egg glaze. BUT paired with their incredible red chili oil sauce... the dumpling experience was fantastic. Capsicum transported via oil droplets masking my teeth roots. It was wonderful. Kind service. I've seen their dumplings offered at local bars later in the day!

Homemade tasty dumplings of different kinds made fresh! Tried 4 different dishes of 10 dumplings each, shared amongt three of us! Unassuming place that wouldn't notice right away!

Pork chive and beef coriander were great. Service was excellent. Would love to go back

Authentic restaurant for hand made dumplings. Ingredients used are super fresh and you can definitely taste the results. Pork and chives are the best!

Loved this place! Walked in on a chilly afternoon hoping to grab some comfort food. The dumplings and soup were stellar & our waitress was attentive and kind. It's a no frills place with great food.

If you like dumplings -this is the place! Over a dozen varieties and 15 to a serving. As we were leaving I heard someone ask for half of one variety and half of another -that's what I'll do next time. Staff is friendly - and interior is simple, calming, and unassuming - as is the exterior.

Whenever I am in Montreal, I come here for authentic dumplings. #3 pork & chives & #6 pork, zucchini & shrimp are my favs and I always order a side of cucumber salad.

Splendid food. The service was excellent and it had the ambience of sitting at a table and eating dinner with family or friends. I slipped on water but the waiter caught me before I hit the ground with ninja-like reflexes. Our eyes met and for the first time since I came back from war... I felt safe. Highly recommend.

Simple but very delicious and genuine dumplings. Loved the cucumber salad. Happy belly guaranteed.

The real deal. Best, quickest, most delicious dumplings ever. Revitalizing. Succulent. Intentionally simple. These perfect dumplings need nothing but dipping sauce (mix it yourself). So good.

Just the best and freshest dumplings we've ever had in Montreal. Forget Chinatown... it's worth coming here. My favorite is number 6: Pork, zucchini and shrimps. Ask for the fried ones ;-) You can also buy them frozen to take home and order for pick ups. Will be back again, again and again.

You know the default text that Yelp provides when you start writing your review? "Doesn't look like much when you walk past... the definition of a hole in the wall... there are no words... you can't really go wrong... not much to say besides go see for yourself!!!!" Dumpling Hut is exactly that. If you walked by, you wouldn't really think there's a restaurant within your presence. And when you step inside, it looks like your damn HOUSE. That's part of its charm! So you come here for dumplings. The restaurant has a menu of 15 dumpling options (if I remember correctly), and you get 16 per order. I got the pork and chives, and they were DELICIOUS. Juicy, tender, and there's enough vinegar and spice available to make it taste how you want it. The experience is like you're paying to eat dumplings as if you're at home... but you enjoy paying for it? I could be a little crazy, but at least the food isn't. It's gooooood.

The dumpling game in Montreal is cray. Every time I visit, another half dozen new ones seem to pop up. The Dumpling Hut seemed right up my alley but even I didn't expect it to be in an apartment. The inside is cozy with only four tables. Cute little post it note compliments adorn the walls when you walk in. Someone needs to explain why there's a traffic light as part of their decor though. Seems to be family run. Daughter runs the front and is the only waitress. Mother is the dumpling maestro. There's eight types of dumplings and three sides to choose from. Can't get anymore concise then that. - Pork and dill ($8.99) - 15 dumplings per order and they're boiled. Took it to go. Comes with a tasty chili soya sauce. Dumplings were fresh and you could really taste the dill. There was the slightest bit of soup inside them. Pretty good overall. Wish I could have tried a few more things but c'est la vie. Bonus they take credit!

We had a great meal from the dumpling hut. It's cool, it's basically in an apartment

An unexpected treat steps from our Airbnb! I love dumplings and am always looking for a spot that will fulfill my biggest cravings. The place is on the first level of a house, super modest and small. However, you do not feel like you're in a carry-out chinese spot. We took our orders to go since it was so close and very warm inside. Coming from NYC where dumpling portions to price ration can vary heavily depending on your neighborhood, I was happy to see the bountiful amount they provided. We opted for the chicken and mushroom and pork and cabbage and surprisingly were left underwhelmed with the pork. It lacked in flavor which is shocking because usually pork dumplings surpass in flavor to chicken. We did however love the chicken and mushroom!

What I like about this place is the vibe. It is a nice and warm place located in a quiet street, never too noisy or crowded. This is my favourite dumpling place in Montreal. As an Asian, I have my own standard for good dumplings. This place makes everything from scratch (the shell, filling and even the chilli sauce), you can even hear them chopping the the meat in the kitchen (trust me, hand-chopping makes a huge difference in the filling). The taste is really simple and balance. The dumplings are only filled with basic ingredients such as pork with cabbage or beef with coriander (my favourite), but in every bite, you can taste each ingredient distinctively. With the vinegar and chilli sauce, oh man, that's so tasty and fulfilling. Btw, the dumplings are really juicy and hot inside, so slow down and try not to burn your month.

WOW. What a find! This hidden gem delivered some of the best food that I had in Montreal. Definitely get the cucumber salad and pork dumplings. Very good!

It's a hidden location. But inside is quite and clean. The pork zucchini shrimp is soooo good! It's definitely handmade dumplings. I feel very comfortable about this lunch.

(4 1/2) (Français en bas) Went there on a Thursday night with my boyfriend. We didn't have a hard time finding the place because we had read reviews on Yelp beforehand so we were keeping an eye out for it. It's a house remodeled into a restaurant and I think it's family run. They were two cooking in the kitchen and one serving customers. Since the restaurant is small, it felt really cozy and a nice change of pace from a hectic workday. The seats were large which, as a tall person, is always appreciated. It is small so I wouldn't recommend going with more than 3-4 people (You can take them to go though). There was lukewarm lemon infused water and we ordered the chicken mushroom dumplings and the pork cabbage dumplings. We were not expecting the size of the dumplings to be so big but we enjoyed every bite! Service was faster than expected too and the green tea ice cream was very good! At first we wanted black sesame but they didn't have any left :,( The waitress was nice, overall very good and would come back! ---------------------------- J'y suis allée un jeudi soir avec mon copain. Nous n'avons pas eu de problème à trouver le restaurant puisque nous avions lu des commentaires Yelp avant. C'est une maison-devenue-restaurant et je crois que c'est un restaurant familial. Deux travaillaient dans la cuisine et une servait les clients. Puisque le restaurant est petit, il était très chaleureux, un bon changement d'une longue journée au travail. Les chaises étaient larges, ce qui est toujours apprécié puisque je suis grande. Vu que l'endroit est petit par contre je ne recommanderais pas d'y aller à plus de 3-4 personnes (vous pouvez les commander pour emporter par contre). Il y avait de l'eau tiède infusé de citron et nous avons commandé les dumplings poulet-champignon et porc-choux et nous avons savouré chaque boucher! Le service étai plus rapide de ce à quoi nous nous attendions considérant le nombre d'employés et la crème glacée au thé vert était aussi très bonne! Nous voulions sésame noire, mais il n'y en avait plus :( La serveuse était gentille, gobalement très bon et je reviendrais sûrement si jamais je suis dans le coin!

TOO MUCH MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE ME AND MY FRIENDS GOT HEADACHE The food is not too bad but after half dish me and my friend, three of us feel sick. 2 of us have alergic, feel itchy and I got headache until the next day. Do not recommend this place.

Very pleasant dining experience. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was perfect. Price is right. Highly recommend.

These dumpling were gooooooood. Fried pork zucchini shrimp. Be careful tho it's hot asf when you walk into this place. Wear an under layer.

Cute and cozy place and the best dumplings I have had in a long time. I ordered a half serving of the chicken mushroom and the chicken coriander (16 pieces total) and my daughter had the seaweed salad and the pork cabbage dumplings. Very small place so be sure you get there early to get a table.

Came to this dumpling place for lunch. The restaurant is located a few steps from Bristol Chai - took us a bit of time to find it as it is a bit hidden. The interior made us feel like we were stepping into someone's house. They offer a decent selection of dumplings and it is possible to mix them. We ordered pork+shrimp+zucchini, chicken+coriander and had them steamed. We also tried beef+onion and pork+cabbage and we had them fried. I personally preferred the latter. Prices were quite reasonable for the # of dumplings we had (10-12$ for 16). Few things I didn't like were the lack of saltiness in the pork meat and there wasn't much soup inside each dumpling. Overall, it was decent but I'm not sure if I would come back to try the rest of their menu.

I feel like I'll keep coming back to this place whenever I'm craving Mom's homemade dumplings. The Dumpling Hut is a discrete reconverted apartment, and feels like someone's home. It has limited seating, but you have to option of ordering to go. Everything seems to be made fresh; it certainly tastes so. We got the pork/zucchini/shrimp and beef/coriander, and both were delicious and flavorful. You get 15 dumplings for 10$! Vegetarian and vegan options also available :) Will be back for sure!

There's a dearth of dumpling places in this town. It's all too easy to just go to your old dependable Qin Hua or Mai Xiang Yuan, and roll your eyes as "yet another" restaurant opens in your neighbourhood. Biking down Clark towards Sherbrooke, just past Prince-Arthur, I don't even recall if there was anything in this space before Dumpling Hut. What the hell? My biggest criticism of dumpling restaurants in the city comes down to the filling. It all tastes the same to me (with the exception of vegetarian fillings which are consistently disappointing. Steamed, watery egg? No thanks.) When you pack enough sodium and MSG into a pork or beef base, you're going to get the same hit of delicious grease and sodium, but as my lunch companion on this day remarked, you won't be able to make rhyme from reason, resulting in the vague taste of "beast". I'm happy to report that the dumplings here at Dumpling Hut are *almost* underseasoned. Almost. Meaning, they're of a perfect saltiness. Combined with soy sauce, vinegar, and/or chili oil, it's just right. And between the dill/pork and beef/coriander, you could actually taste individual ingredients. *Imagine that*. Only downside is that there's no option to have your dumplings fried, but personally I don't mind so much. The cucumber salad also provided a nice, flavorful starter. Once you overcome the feeling that you're eating inside a stranger's apartment with a totally random dormant traffic light as a prop, you're all set. 4.5/5

Tonight by chance we happened into the Dumpling Hut. I am glad that we did. Their offerings are mainly dumplings. They also offer miso soup, seaweed salad and cucumber salad. The pop they have is served in cans. That's it. But what they do and do well are dumplings. We had the chicken and mushroom; pork and cabbage; lamb and coriander; miso soup; seaweed salad. All dumplings were good. I especially liked the chicken dumplings. My wife favored the lamb. The time of night that we got there, the chef makes all the dumplings by hand per order. You can actually watch him put the dumplings together. The waitress felt our order took to long and she brought a seaweed salad to the table on the house. I told her if the food is good, I have no problem waiting for it. I really enjoyed the seaweed salad ! Dumplings are very labor intensive. From the hand rolled fresh dough, the ingredients mixture, putting them together and finally cooking them. With all that said dumplings range in price from $ 9.99 - $11.99 per order. There are 16 dumplings per order. I felt this was a very fair price and we have good leftovers for tomorrow. Try this place. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Handmade dumplings is always a treat, but this location kinda fails to deliver anything special. The flavour was lacking, and the price for a dish is more expensive than the other well known dumpling places (in China Town and near Guy Concordia). The dumplings also didn't have much soup inside, which was a bit of a let down compared to the rivaling dumpling places. Their cheapest option is $9 before tax+tip for 15 dumplings, which is more than the other places, for less flavoursome dumplings. The service wasn't great, our water wasn't refilled a single time despite being the only customers in the restaurant at the time (it was early). If you're looking for dumplings and this is the only place close to you, you'll probably enjoy it! However, if you have the option to choose between multiple places and distance isn't a big deal, I'd recommend the dumpling place in China Town over this one.

This restaurant looks like the inside of someone's home and it's super cute and cozy. We got the pork/cabbage and pork/zucchini/shrimp dumplings boiled and they were delicious. The people were really nice and dumplings were well priced

These dumplings caused me stomach pain the next day. I was initially skeptical, since this restaurant is just an old house with 4 tables in it. It seemed quaint but then I saw the family rolling dumplings non stop out in the open. Honestly not sure if they ever got a break, I don't know how their fingers weren't falling off. and they weren't wearing gloves.. or hair nets.. looking back I understand what my stomach was trying to tell me. dumplings tasted pretty bomb tho.

Best dumings I've had in Montreal! We ordered the pork chive, lamb coriander, chicken coriander and egg shrimp chive. The wrapper was delicious, there was alot of filling and not too much doughy wrapper and you really tasted the filling of each dumpling. Although the waitress described each dumpling dish, I was able to taste in the flavors and knew which was which without her explanation. I find I can never truly taste the flavors at other dumpling restaurants. The restaurant itself doesn't have many seats so I suggest doing takeout or placing an order and eating in the park. Excellent dumplings!!

What a lovely place to have a dumpling experience. This small house was so unobtrusive that I walked right past it, didn't see the sign or anything. I believe it was a Mother/Daughter owners when I walked in. I ordered 2 plates, one with Lamb and one with Beef. They were great texture but no taste, it fell somewhat flat. And not having any other options on the menu was disappointing. I would come here just to look out the window and see people walking by as it is a house, good luck and thanks!

Awesome hidden place! We loved it. Vegetarian dumplings were divine! Seaweed salad is a must.

Such yummy and authentic tasting dumplings!! They are made fresh right in front of you and are pretty reasonably priced! The place is pretty small and is located in an apartment setting which is different and cozy. Definitely recommend!

The dumplings were good and flavourful, and the dipping sauce was on the table so you can pour it yourself, which is nice. Pricing is pretty good, too - I got 15 dumplings for about $10. I didn't really like the seaweed salad, it was by the kind of kaiso-type salad I was expecting and the dressing wasn't all that good. Also I kinda wish they had the option for fried dumplings!

Best dumpling ever.. super fresh and tasty. Pork and coriander and cabbage and mushroom is a must.

Holy cow. Get over to this dumpling place right now! It is the cutest little room, its actually in a house. I went with my friend Yap Man and it was just an experience. The sun was shining into our backs, no not onto, but into because our hearts were melting into the atmosphere of heaven. The dumplings are the best I've had in Montreal, and I've had a lot of dumplings in Montreal (Har Bin, Sami Soupe, that place on st Laurent, King Ha, and I think another I can't remember) We were the only ones there and were confused because there should be a lot of traffic here. If you don't come here you're actually stupid because it's so good you won't be able to deny it. Life is easier here

Wow, very delicious dumplings :-) Family restaurant, and the ladies there really know how to make dumplings in northern China style. 好吃 大力推荐

As others have said, this place is a true GEM!!!!!!! Found it on yelp looking for Chinese in the area I was staying, this place is an experience. It is basically in someone's house, very very bare bones set up, which means it is really damn good. Use google maps or keep an eye out for the dumpling sign out front, you will miss it, it's literally the first level of a town home made into a resto. It's like eating at a family's house, you see one of the ladies making the dumplings right there, and they are tasty/fresh. I'm a vegetarian and they had a few veggie options which was great. Can't think of another place I've eaten at in North America like this, still can't get over the bare bones family vibe this place had it was magic. Awesome servers and good prices. A++++++

Cozy home made dumplings! The owner is the chef. Really cute homely environment. The dumplings are delicious. Perfect balance of everything. Super cute place.

This place has about 4 tables and seems like it's in someone's home. Only 8 or so options of dumplings and the portions are huge! You get 15 dumplings per order. Very good! I recommend the porc zucchini shrimp and chicken coriandre(although warning-I know some people don't like cilantro and for some reason it seemed full of cilantro instead of coriander). Nice place to go with someone and order different kinds to share.

This place is the best. The dumplings are very tasty and the owners are friendly! Reasonably priced and great service.

Dumplings were nice but part of The enjoyment of dining is the service which was really lacking. I think this place has huge potential if it was properly managed. Menu is limited. Dumplings only. Steamed or fried. Seaweed and cucumber salad will required a specific pallet to enjoy. If you really Jonesing for dumplings and don't really care about the ambiance, then come here for a quick bite. They also have take out and frozen which are interesting options. 15 dumplings ranging from $8.99-$12.99 depends on type of meat and vegetables.

If you are looking for home-made dumplings to eat at an unpretentious place, then you must visit this almost hidden place on the Clark street. This dumpling hut is a family run kitchen offering delicious, fresh dumplings at reasonable prices. They have their menu on the wall on the blackboard, not too many items but each of them perfect. My personal favorite is the chicken coriander dumpling. I also tried the black sesame icecream for desert, which was amazing. And to finish off I must mention that the service is attentive and polite.

I was skeptical at first but this turned out to be a gem. Dumplings wee just right and I could have eaten a hundred and wished I could eat different ones. Like dining in someone's home, very quaint. The condiments complemented the dumplings well. .

Excellent homemade dumplings made right in front of you. My wife and I were starving after we got off the Amtrak train from upstate Ny. We were greeted with plump handmade dumplings after a 7 hour train ride. We had the pork, chicken, and lamb with cilantro ( called coriander) and one with egg, scallion, and shrimp. Each plate contains 16 dumplings. All 64'of our dumplings were as tasty as the last. We had ours steamed, but looks like you can request them to be fried. So why the 4 stars and not 5? It's a little expensive. Although handmade, dumplings are normally somewhere around $.35 to $.45 per. Seafood should add an additional $.15 per. But this averaged about $.86 per. Something that would probably add more value would be to give some sort of clear broth soup and/or some small side dishes as part of the meal. We got miso soup as well, but $3.99 was kind of a lot of miso soup. Normally that's served for half that. But, eating the dumplings.... you forget all that. They just taste so clean and pure that I would continue eating if I didn't run out of room. In the area and want a quick bite, this is the spot. Incredibly fast considering they are hand made. 64 dumplings came out within 15 mins.

This place is absolutely awesome! Delicious and homemade, what more can you ask for!?
