Montréal is popular for dumplings! I suspect due to its geography, northern Chinese cuisine gained popularity in Chinatown. Mai Xiang Yuan is one spot. It resembles a hole-in-the-wall on street side, but its dumpling logo is can’t-miss.
We tried a plate of 15 steamed dumplings (lamb & cilantro), al
Homemade dumpling, good quality. Typical China town vibe, not super new and clean. Food serve fast. The dough slightly thicker than some of other place. The steam one is very juicy. The boiled one surprisingly good, too. This place is CASH only so please prepare.
We went in at 9pm on a Friday, got seated immediately. We chose this place as it was listed one of the top places to get dumplings in Chinatown on MTL blog, although our experience here did not match our expectations. The place is cash only, there’s an ATM machine right outside in case you don’t car
New address (used to be next door) as good as the last one. Only point tho, the porc crabs used to cost 12$ for 10 pieces. Now it’s like 8$ for 4 pieces AND they changed the recipe, not worth it any more, not very good. Used to be my favorites 🥲 The rest is still as good 😊
Place was very dirty and the cleaning cloth left a stench and watery surface.
They could be better to accommodate people, we were 3 and they had a table for 2 and some other spare chairs in the other tables, however they never tried to put that chair and sit us. They didn't either ask the customers
Great place to take dumplings. We asked for pork with peanut butter and classic dumplings, well served. Take cash with you as this place doesn't accept credit card, however an ATM is right at the entrance
Came here for the XLB, did not disappoint. $9.49CAD for 10 pieces. This place is cash only. The service was a little slow, but I think they were training new staff.
Staff was super friendly. Menu has chef's recommendation symbols if you are unsure what to order. Tried a little bit of everything and definitely want to come back. Really good value. Boiled > Fried.
