Wonton Express

Such an amazing place to eat Wonton!! So good, delicious, and comforting. I went there for lunch as I was craving something hot on a snowy day, and this place… MY GOODNESS. You have to try it out when you have the chance! The worker was super friendly and put a lot of love preparing the dish. BONUS it’s so affordable for the portion compared to other places! Great place to study too if you need a quiet place and not too busy. Btw the prices are still the same as of Nov 11 2025.

This is a place that looks simple when you enter but offers amazing food. Their menu is simple and everything is handmade. You do need to wait a bit since every dish is made to order. It’s worth it. We contemplated going back just an hour after to have some again.

Upon entering this place I wasn't sure what to expect, the owners are soft spoken and the place has no frills, which wasn't what we came here for anyway just pointing out my first impression, but onto the food: So incredibly good! We got 2 soup wontons, and the broth was so light and delicious at the same time, I added a little chili oil into my broth for some spice, and the wontons themselves were plentiful and savory. Went perfectly well with the broth and chili oil. But our favorite was the cold noodle, I think they called it Haricot Noir, it had roasted peanuts, diced carrots, and minced pork in a sauce that once mixed, was so good!

This restaurant slaps hard. The classic wonton sesame were the best followed by the spicy wonton with egg yolk. Those two are most definitely recommended. The siomai and black bean noodles were also good, but not out of this world. Please give this restaurant a try, service is a bit slow and atmosphere is normal, but the food is worth it.

This place is small and self serving but the food is quite delicious and inexpensive. Each dish about Ca$10 but I needed 1.5 orders though. Had their wonton in chili oil, sweet rice Sui Mai. The sweet rice is not as sticky as I would have liked. Other than that it’s great. I was there 3 times in 5 days. Small place but kept fairly clean. Food was reasonably fast

I lived in China for 1.5 years and coming to this place threw me back there. This place is so genuine, and its flavors beat every pretentious competitor out there. Give this lovely couple a chance to take care of your palate. I had the Shanghai original spicy soup - tasty, comforting, and authentic. Great quality and quantity for the price. If you're super hungry, get a couple of items from the menu. It's still gonna be very cheap. Oh, and the Chinese music is the ultimate touch.

Very simple restaurant with small menu. Food is good, but not great. Everything had a strong peppery taste, although it didn’t bother me much. The food is the more authentic version, with seaweed and dried shrimps in the soup. I asked them to omit the dried shrimps. The opening hours are very convenient.

Delicious !!!! Best wontons I’ve had in Montreal. I can tell the ingredients are of an excellent quality and that everything was made with great care. Thank you very much 😊

No frills but so good. You know when the menu is limited that the quality is normally higher. Each dumpling a little bit of love. Took me right back home to Singapore. Perfect for a snack or breakkie. Fast service. Clean space

We had 2 different types of dumplings and the wonton soup dumplings. All 3 were delicious but i definitely recommend adding soy sauce and chili oil. Definitely will come here again when I'm in Montreal.

Ugh I love this place so much, I came back twice while visiting Montreal! Not only are they open till midnight, making it the perfect place for a late night snack or meal, but also the food is just so delicious! I've tried the sesame wontons, wonton soup, black bean noodles, and siu mai. My favorite was definitely the sesame wontons, the sauce is just so tasty and the flavor profile is literally perfection. The wontons are cooked well and huge too, which is always a plus! In close second was the wonton soup dish, which was pretty salty but not overwhelmingly so, at least for me. I loved the green onion in it and the small dried shrimps that were added in -- it was just the perfect comfort meal. The black bean noodles had good flavor but I did wish the sauce amount better matched the noodle amount (not enough sauce). Finally, the siu mai was good too, but they were HUGE and really oily, so they didn't feel very good to eat if that makes sense lol. They also didn't look very authentic which was a little disappointing. The interior is super warm and steamy even in the winters, so be ready to shed some layers if you plan to dine indoors. It was pretty empty inside, at least the times I went, so there is plenty of seating. The food took a while to come out the first time I went (30min), but the second time it was pretty quick (10-15min)! I would recommend try the wontons here, they are so worth and so delicious!! Literally will dream about this place forever.

The food was definitely 10/10 the soup tasted like home made broth and the wontons!!! They were so juicy and flavorful. The server/cashier which I assumed is the owner he was also the one making the food he was really nice and accommodating. The restaurant felt like a home and cozy place.

me and my friend went to eat at this place since we've been at 5 minutes BUT BEWARE, we still suffer of intense diarrhea its been a week and my stomach isn't feeling well since. and the place was not very clean too, I know we should've RUN away but the reviews are good and saying how tasty it is, and its my first time that I suffer so much after eating something and we both are sick. dont go !

Siu mai, shao mai, or shu mai, is commonly used to describe either finely ground pork or pork shrimp meat folded in a delicate dumpling wrapper and then steamed. This said, Shanghainese shao mai on the other hand, is a common breakfast street food in Shanghai, and is slightly different from the Cantonese version of the dim sum siu mai, which is made with pork and shrimp. Shanghainese shao mai, specific to the Jiang Su region, is filled with a delicious combination of seasoned sticky rice and pork. And sometimes, a salted egg yolk is added for extra flavour and texture. For those who were born in Shanghai, who's mom or grandma often cooked these as they were growing up can now now find some pretty authentic Shanghainese shao mai at Wonton Express, centrally located in the Shaughnessy Village. Recently opened barely 5 months ago, M. Zeng has been serving the local community, including students from Concordia University, these tasty and yet affordable delights. But that's not all, while perusing the menu, you'll also find the classic Shanghai wonton soup made with pork and vegetables, pork and shrimp, and pork and egg yolk variants - you choose whether you like it spicy or not, and with sesame sauce or not. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu including a cold noodle dish!

They offered inexpensive street food dishes. The portion was not big big good for students looking for a quick bite. In summer have a cold version noodle and in winter you can have a hot bowl of noodle. I had a plate of 烧卖， siu mai , with egg yolk. Very tasty. The wonton I ordered was not well done. There is some dough looks raw.

Late night snack at #wontonexpress 1668a de Maisonneuve. $10 and tasty. These were the Shanghai classic spicy wontons. Good. Still searching for that Vancouver chili wonton experience in Montreal.

Very very tasty dumplings!!! The sauce for the Shanghai ones really adds to the flavor and enjoyment of these dumplings. Highly recommend

Tried the wonton soup - Shanghai classic and the sesame wontons - Shanghai classic, and both were excellent. spent a few days trapped in Montreal thanks to air canada, and found it surprisingly tough to find decent Chinese/Asian food. These were great, made for a light meal that didn't feel too heavy like traditional quebec cuisine, and were excellent value at $10 cad per dish.
