In short, excellent. In long,
This restaurant is well located downtown Halifax, it's right across from Dalhousie (enginnering faculty). The parking is as such street parking.
The location itself is nice, cleanly decorated with good spacing between tables.
The menu is straightforward and easy. Simply 1 page back and forth.
We ordered the regular steamed beef and lamb dumpling with some egg rolls to start.
The eggs rolls were good crispy, but the filling was a bit unfamiliar to me but not bad.
The dumplings were simply excellent. They had a good amount of filling, the shape was also visually nice. There was a complete set of condiments, soy sauce, black vinegar, chilli oil, salt and pepper.
Service was excellent. Quick, courteous. Not sure if its a winter thing but hot water was served too, nice touch.
Prices were very fair, the steam dumpling order was many and with eggs rolls it made a great lunch.
I look forward to trying many more dumplings!
Cheers

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but the food was ok.
Visiting Halifax from Toronto, I guess I’m putting this place up against a lot of other more established dumpling places but for what seems to be one of only a few dumpling places in town, it’s decent.
Dumplings seemed small though, and could barely taste the shrimp (pork and shrimp version). Could have ordered the pork dumplings and not have told the difference.
The chicken leg/rice combo was good - never had this dish before and the pickled potatoes or whatever it was was a nice complement. Sauce could have been more flavorful.

Had an excellent time! Server was polite and I can't rave enough about the food. I had the braised pork and egg noodles and the pork was perfectly tender. The broth it came in was very flavorful.
I don't know if it is useful quiet in the late afternoon but when we came there was only one other table of people, so it was a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend checking this place out!

It is a treat to find a restaurant with the authentic Chinese northern home food flavours. Great price for tasty and plentiful food. A gem in the heart of down town Halifax, if you want a hearty noodle soup.

Must try when visiting Halifax! Family run restaurant that reminds us of quality dumplings like in South East Asia. Service is always great. They even sell them to take home and prepare yourself.

Food and service was great. A few fruit flies did keep us company which was a little annoying.

Wonderful food and great service. Everything was well prepared and fresh. So tasty too. Try the potato salad, it's to die for. I can't wait to go back!

Tried there with family during lunch hours. The entrance was a downsloping ramp that wheel chairs or strollers could access. The inside was well maintained and gave clean vibe. The dumplings gave a freshly made impression and was well steamed. Chicken fried rice also was nicely spiced and was not salty. Overall, would visit again.

This place was quite good! Different than what i expected, it was a lot more traditional than the dumplings I've had from other places. I had a combo with rice, spring rolls, and chicken balls and my boyfriend had pan fried shrimp and pork dumplings. My mom had pork dumplings with soup which I tried as well. It was all very good except the soup was a bit spicy for me. I definitely want to go again and try some other dishes. The dumplings were different than I expected but still good. The rice was my favourite. Servers were kind and prices were pretty good

Walked in with my partner, had the best steamed dumplings I've ever had, for a fair price. It's VERY hard to beat.
Plus the spicy sauce is really good.
Andrea Bailey
Really great experience. The server was very nice and welcoming even though she had a million takeout orders. I got some dumplings to go and they made sure I knew how to cook them properly. The vegetable dumplings are super-tasty and the pork bun was incredible. Very fairly priced as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent service, the waitress is very friendly, dumplings and beef soup noodle are my favorite. I love this place.

I tried here for the first time on a gorgeous sunny Friday in March 2021 at about 11:30. I was the first customer of the day, and I was still the only person there when I left just after 12. Friendly service. Basic atmosphere with a fair bit of natural light coming in, light colored decor, tables definitely spaced adequately apart for covid. I ordered a Sweetened Bean paste spring roll (1.95) to try as I'd never had one before, and it was good, as expected. Mainly though, I came to try the dumplings. The menu that I was handed had shrimp as an option, but the server mentioned they were sold out. I just checked online and shrimp isn't actually listed at all under the steamed dumpling category, so maybe they have taken them off the menu? Either way, I ended up going with the pork and corn steamed ones, which I think provided 16 pieces. VERY good. They have malt vinegar, chili oil and soy sauce already on the table to use as you wish, so when my food came, I tried a dumpling with each of the separate sauces and some with them all combined together. It was filling but not too much, in other words just right for lunch. I'd definitely come back here anytime or order takeout if I get a craving.

Tasty dumplings at a fair price. I have two points of feedback:
1. I wish more sauce came with the dumplings
2. It would be great if the vegetable dumplings were offered as dumpling soup

How have I not left a review here yet? Easily the best dumplings in Halifax. If there is a better place to get dumplings in Nova Scotia, I will be impressed.
Steamed dumplings from Qiu Brothers are authentic and delicious. Prices are very affordable and the quality is always top notch.
Must try for dumpling lovers.

This place is a hidden gem. I have never had dumplings like these. They make their own dumpling wrappers, and it comes with a unique 'topping' that is crunchy. The Beef and Lamb dumplings are AMAZING! Server is sweet and humble. Just an overall great experience!
Erika Xu
This restaurant has fantastic foods and servers are very politely. Pork and sweet corn pan fried dumplings is my favorite one. Chicken Wonton soup also is a great choice especially if you like shrimp. Also recommend chicken and veg spring rolls and red bean pasta spring rolls. I will definitely be there again.

Great food and great service. This was our first visit be definitely not our last, pork noodles were awesome and chicken rice was amazing. Could have eaten dumplings all day long there that Amazing!!!

Qiu Brothers Dumplings on Barrington...do not waste your time...the food is AWFUL!!! So bad I complained...They didn't even have ICE!!! What restaurant does not have ice...or cold drinks or cold ice water? Frozen food...chicken balls were straight out of the box covered with Sweet Thai Chilli Sauce. The spring rolls...from the box, the fried rice was dirty rice with some frozen veggies. The dumplings were just ok. We had beef and lamb dumplings...fried. Well they were fried on one side only. The soda, piss warm. NEVER AGAIN!!! I have had some awesome Asian and Asian infusion at restaurants in the city...honestly this has been one of the worst!
Brian Healy
Staff were very polite and extremely helpful in navigating thru the items on their menu. Dumplings were amazing.... Portions were very large for the cost. Will definitely be back to try some more items.
Patrick Breton
After hearing all about this place I thought I would try it today. I had the meat (beef? Pork? Chicken? I couldn't tell) noodle soup with egg and it wasn't very good. The broth was boring and the meat was basically like thick sliced deli meat. I also wanted buns so went to order a side of pork ones but was told they were all mixed up and wasn't sure which were pork, lamb or beef. I like them all so I said said no problem. They were decent. Maybe that's all they are good at?
Nash Mclean
Had the pork and shrimp steamed dumplings as well as a steamed pork bun, It was fantastic and the staff were very pleasant! will go back for sure
Willow Eva Harrison
Super good! Delivered hot and yummy. What is that pepper sauce? Braised pork noodle thing so good. 5/5 would overeat again.
Christine Hoskins
Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. :) Will definitely dine there again.
Kim MacLeod Scaravelli
These dumplings should be considered art! Seriously!!! They are amazing!!!
Max Way
Had the pleasure of dining with my wife and two friends the other night. The dumplings were excellent, as were portions. Was a little disappointed at the number of items that had run out that evening, but just means we'll be back for more. Also snagged some to take away; they were lunch, and they were tasty!
Mac MacNeil
I would eat 100 dumplings a day from here, 50 fried/50 steamed
Adam White
Ate here today with my girlfriend. The service was great and the dumplings were fantastic! Can't wait to go back!
Janice MacKay
Fantastic. I can't wait to take my fellow chefs here.
Paige Sawler
Everything we had was DELICIOUS. I've been thinking about these dumplings everyday since I've had them. And the service was wonderful as well! Can't wait to go back.
