Amazing handmade dumpling quality for a very affordable price. Dumpling wrapping is not too thick, good amount of filling. One of the best handmade dumplings I've had!
It’s a nice little place with freshly made dumplings.
The best place for dumplings in montreal ! Love having them on a cold, winter night !
Though some people might tell you otherwise, these are the best dumplings to be had in Montreal. Service is sketchy, but the dumplings are worth it.
Great food - try the coleslaw + carrot salad! Shrimp/pork/cilantro dumplings are delish!
Lugar ideal para parejas, el servicio podría ser mejor, pero el sabor y el precio lo valen
The best
Delicious and very plentiful
Excellent service
Very tasty food and the service was good too.
Annenizin mantısını özlediyseniz, buraya gelin. Best dumplings in MTL and I prefer fried dumplings.
I went to Qing Hua on a chilly winter evening and it was nice to enter the cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The menu selection is impressive. The service was prompt and courteous. I opted for the pork, shrimp and cilantro dumplings, steamed. The portion was very generous (15 dumplings) and the price was fair. While the dumpling casing could have been thinner, in my view, the filling was flavourful. This is solid comfort food and the price is right for an inexpensive, tasty meal.
Maybe not the most tempting restaurant in town however the dumplings were delicious.
If you feel like enjoying good food wether or not you are in a nice setting with a perfect service than I would definitely recommend this place
Service was slow and the dumplings were just okay. Many of tops were a bit dry and they were open which meant the meat was dry.
Besides that it was cheap. However there are other dumpling places that cost about the same but have better food.
The steam dumplings are alright. But the would dumplings I had are over cooked. I can taste it from the melting skin. And... I had the mixed one but obviously not a wise choice
I was looking for the best dumpling place in Montreal online and found this one. I came in with high expectations (food wise) and they were easily fulfilled. This place is AMAZING. We got steamed pork and dill, tastes like pork just a little hint of dill. The best way to eat the dumpling is to suck the soup out (which is beyond delicious), then eat the dumpling. We got the beef and onion to go which we ate right away. The price you pay for around $9.99 for 15 dumplings was worth the wait and the quality of the dumplings. We found the service a bit slow. HOWEVER there was a big group before us and we saw through the kitchen window that they made dumplings (as to order we think). So they were super fresh. We also did find the place a bit small and dark but we expected that.
I will definitely be going back when I come back to Montreal.
Amazing. You go downstairs into a dimly lit and poorly converted old bakery, they seat you and then do their best to pretend you don't exist, but good God the dumplings are good. We tried a mix of styles and flavours, and the curry beef ones were probably the weakest, but everything was still delicious. Good prices for beer too. Will definitely come again the next time I'm in Montreal!
Awesome dumpling house. Everything made fresh and in house.
Have tried many combinations and i would say the pork and coriander wins. They offer options of boiled, steamed (in basket) and pan fried. Boiled is the most popular and delicious. Also try the pickled cucumber sides which are great.
Very fair priced! Service is definitly not their strong point, but who cares if the food speaks volume.
A must! Cheers
delicious wonton soup! best we have ever had. They serve only dumplings and they are delicious and lots of choice to choose from. this was our first time to montreal and this was the first restaurant we chose to eat at for lunch. definitely recommend!
This is D&G's favorite dumpling place.
The service is rude and place is dark and not super clean. BUT!!! The taste and the texture of the food blinds your mind!!! As you can see the skin is as thin as paper. The stuffing is well flavoured with lot of juice inside.
D&G goes regularly to have dumpling.
Went for lunch today and had an awesome meal. We had the pork and shrimp and the pork and mushroom dumplings. You get a huge portion (15 dumplings in each steam basket) and it's only about 10$. Our tummies were happy and so were our wallets lol. Definitely plan on coming back!

I haven't been to Qing Hua for a few years but I'm glad to see it's still as popular as ever. This was THE place where I first discovered my love for dumplings. We came on a Tuesday evening, around 8:00pm, and had to wait to get seats! I couldn't believe how busy they were.
The menu is dumplings, dumplings and more dumplings. Although there is a lunch menu available Monday to Friday (11:00am - 3:00pm).
The inside looks exactly the same. I like how you can peer through the kitchen window and see all the dumplings being made in house. They're lightning fast! We ordered and had our three dishes in no time. We may have gone overboard but hey, leftovers are never bad.
- Shrimps with pork and leek (#21) ($9.99) - we got one order boiled and the other steamed. Each order gets you 15 dumplings and the filling is nicely stuffed. Don't forget these dumplings have soup inside so be careful with your bites.
- Pork and dill (#31) ($8.99) - first time trying out dill in dumplings. Loved it! Not overpowering but the perfect balance. These were my favourite of the night. I need more dill in my life.
- Mix flavour dumpling soup (#3) ($7.99) - I also wanted to try their dumpling soup out which was totally unnecessary for two people (10 dumplings included) but it was way better than expected. They throw in an assortment of dumplings, I'm assuming extras/reject ones but I liked it. The broth was surprisingly light and flavourful.
40 dumplings later (well, with a few for home), we left very satisfied. Qing Hua is the OG when it comes to dumplings in town and I'm happy to report it's still as good as ever.
Small place but good dumplings. This is my 4th time and still will come in future for dumplings.
Crowded during fridays. There is frozen dumplings to take home and boil it.
If you are craving dumplings, this is the place for you. They have a large selection of either steamed or fried dumplings and they come by batches of 15 for about 7-9$ which is really cheap. The dumplings are quite large too; I could not finish all 15. I especially liked their lamb and coriander dumplings which are one of the more traditional flavors. Other nice ones were the pork and cabbage and beef and curie. Chicken and mushrooms was not bad either, but I really didn’t like a vegetarian one we took (something with leeks I think). The dumplings are freshly made and come steaming hot.
Lately we’ve been on an intense dumpling crawl, trying all the dumplings that we can find in Montreal. Seriously we’ve been out of control, even by our usual chaotic standards! It all started when Diva #1 was enjoying a delightful bowl of ramen at Ramen Misoya, and with it she ordered a side of gyoza, which is a Chinese fried dumpling. She was quickly reminded of her love of these little Asian delights and was soon driving around Montreal and tasting them prepared every which way.
L'idéal, c'est de venir à plusieurs chez Qing Hua, afin de partager vos saveurs. Un plat de 15 dumplings, ça remplit! J'ai goûté celui au porc, chou & huître et celui au porc & champignons. Ce dernier est mon favori. Percez votre dumpling avec votre baguette et patientez pour que le bouillon refroidisse. Sinon, brûlement garanti! Bref, satisfaisant, à essayer au moins une fois au quartier chinois!
Great dumplings. They are not really soup dumplings anymore, just regular dumplings, but the dough and the fillings are as good as I have in China. The only Chinese food I can eat in Montreal.
*The* goto place for dumplings. Plus if you love it you can take home frozen batches for later. Whatever is in that red spicy goop on the table. Put it in your sauce, delish!
Delicious dumplings and lots of variety. Average $8.99 for 15 dumplings is a great deal because it's so filling. 3 orders of dumplings was more than sufficient for 4 people! Busy crowd but food is great regardless.
Yes. Go.
Grandmothers tenderly rolling a myriad of gently-seasoned staples into sublime little pockets of steamed love.
Don't expect red carpets or chandeliers. Just a good old-fashioned dumpling fix.
Even though I loved the food, the staff was kind of slow, fidgety & forgetful. But I think we should have expected that since we came one hour before closing time, & it's dumplings...
So you have the choice of ordering 15 pieces with all the same filling, or 15 pieces with 2 different filling. You could have them steamed, boiled or fried.
We ordered so many things, but I do remember the good ones: beef & coriander, beef curry, pork & green onions, and the cucumber salad. All the dumplings were steamed, & tasted amazing. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed dumplings that much!
Best Dumplings!!! meilleurs Dumplings!
You don't go there for the decor or ambiance but for the FOOD!!! very affordable and super tasty! try it out!
Closest thing thing to xiao long bao that i've had since i lived in Shanghai. Prices are very good, and you can bring some frozen ones home!
Service is a bit wonky but its worth the wait.
My favorite are the chicken and coriander or pork and leek.
Probablement les meilleurs dumplings à Montréal! Ils sont savoureux, spécialement ceux à l'agneau et à la coriandre ou ceux au porc ou crevettes et oignons verts. L'endroit n'est cependant pas très attrayant, le service peut être long et la place est souvent bondée aux heures de pointe. Il est également possible de s'y arrêter pour acheter des dumplings à congeler et à manger à la maison!
A very popular resto.. As its busy most of the time, try going during off peak times. The decor is simple and dimly lit, the dumplings are fantastic .
Such good dumplings. This place is simply amazing. Dumpling options are generally limited in Montreal, and a number of places are disappointing. But Qing Hua is really good. For example, the last time I went I had the pork and mushroom dumplings, and the beef and coriander dumplings (split with someone else and we were both full--the portions are really big). Both flavors were delicious. (they also have good vegetarian dumplings). To make things better, the prices are unbelievable--a serving of dumplings costs on average $8 or so, and one serving is definitely enough to fill you up. Highly recommended. Note they have a location on Lincoln and in Chinatown.
The best dumpling that i ve ever had in Canada!. I went to Montreal with my husband in the last long weekend. This was my very first time been to Montreal. this restaurant was the first restaurant that we tried after 5 hrs driving. We ordered fried pork & mushroom dumplings. But then we realized the best dumplings have to be steamed steam (we saw someone has steam one at next table and it looks so good)!!! Cannot blame the server coz he did recommended us to try stream one. But the one that we tried was amazing too!!! After that my husband told me we have to go there again before we leave and this is the first time that my husband would go back to a restaurant twice in 3 days!!!
We did find a lot of dumpling restaurants in Montreal China Town and we also give another one a try but terrible. So I 'd highly recommend ppl to try this restaurant!
BTW, parking is terrible around this area /__\
Great dumplings!. We really enjoyed the dumplings here. We had the coriander lamb, curry beef and pork and chives, and they were all very good. The dumplings are prepared to order and the different ingredients really stand out. Service was OK but they had high chairs which is a plus for us. Will be back!
Awesome dumplings, good selection, weak service. Service is not really any good, and that is a shame, but it was still a great time. The waitress wasn't very attentive and it did take a fair bit of time to get the dumplings. However, the selection is the widest I have ever seen and the dumplings were executed well. Great stuff, overall, would and will go back.
It was a bit too hot in there as well.
Shrimp Leek Pork. All-day any-day hahaha
I went with a group (~8 people) on a Friday night and had to wait a LONG time for our dumplings, but they were SOOO yummy!!
Tasty dumplings and usually consistent in value. Service could really be improved. Often enjoy buying the frozen dumplings to make at home.
Delicious! The coleslaw i.... Delicious!
The coleslaw is amazing, lamb and coriander dumplings were phenomenal. Great value, you can tell there's a lot of love in the food they make.
What on earth is a Ravioli Chinois?. If you're a dumpling lover, or even if you've never tried dumplings (just think of them as miniature, asian-inspired hamburgers that don't fall apart as easily), you're going to love this place. They really only have one thing on their menu: dumplings. You get the option to choose between pork, beef, chick, or shrimp, with any number of vegetable options to going along with that. Regardless of what you order, you get a bamboo steamer served to you with approximately 15 dumplings steamed beautifully in front of you. Their meats are juicy, their dumpling wrap is delicate enough, but do be careful when you take a bite, as those juices may overflow (and may be piping hot upon arrival). I believe they have at least two locations, one in Chinatown on St Laurent (I think) and the other near Concordia University on Lincoln (I think).

Awsome dumpling restaurant. It was great... the place is small and not so fancy but the food is magic yes yes magic....a must go for asian food lovers....a good thing is that there is no soy sauce in every plate, so people who are allergic to soy can eat there
This restaurant is a really cool concept .. The food is good but there is not many sauce options. There's a spicy oil, vinegar and soya sauce. After eating around 5 dumplings it starts to be too rich and filling. The place is cute and the service is alright.
Slow but good. While I am no dumpling specialist, i do like them, and thought the ones at Qing Hua were of the very good variety. The wait to receive our order was almost excruciating especially for my boyfriend who was starving, but once they got to our table, the dumplings we're steaming hot and filled with delicious broth and fresh ingredients as promised. The dough on the thick side, but we finished 2 servings of 15 dumplings without any hesitations nonetheless. I haven't tried any chinese restaurants in china town that other reviewers claim have better dumplings, but if i were around the area of qing hua on another -40 winter night and didnt mind waiting 45 minutes to get my order, I would certainly go again.
Best dumplings I've had so far (never actually been to china) and the most fun I've had eating ever!
Best Dumplings in Montreal!. This is the best dumpling house in Montreal! One visit and you'll be an addict - and stuffed with dumplings! Yum!
Soooo good! Won ton soup was amazing, and dumplings were delicious too!
Been looking for these kinds of dumplings ever since I came back from HK.. Ottawa has nothing close to this, I would drive to MTL just to order these dumplings! Delicious!:)
Great dumplings!. Great dumplings. Each dumpling is made with a bit of seriously delicious (and HOT) broth inside. The beef and onion was my favorite. Down side: Sketchy and sporadic service. Eat here if you have extra time.

Lizzie Likes It!!!!. We are visiting from Wisconsin, USA and found Qing Hua Dumpling by chance. What a treat! The dumplings are so savory, and the little burst of broth is the hidden surprise in each one. Best of all, our 14-month daughter Lizzie adored the curry beef dumplings. The little darling ate 5 whole dumplings! Five! (...that's a lot for a small toddler.) We also feasted on lamb with dill, pork with onion, and pork with shrimp. We recommend all of them. (NOTE - a few other entries mention a long wait but we did not experience that at all. I suppose it depends on when you visit the restaurant. To the contrary, the staff were fast and very friendly. And, three cheers for dumplings made fresh for your order!)
Yummy but slow. Interesting experience, this was my first time trying dumplings. I got half steamed (leak and egg) and half fried (chicken curry). The latter was amazing, juicy burst of amazing flavor in your mouth with every bite. Difficult to eat without spraying/dripping everywhere. I would definitely try it once. But it was too much, after 8, I wanted no more. I really didn't enjoy my steamed leak dumplings. I should've tried a different flavor. The service was excrutiatingly slow.
Dumplings Heaven!. Overall this place is very good, good variety of dumplings and soups. The only downside is the wait for food is long so avoid going there if you are in a hurry.
Best dumpling in Montréal! A very good cheap place to try, they offer different kinds of dumplings (beef, pork, shrimps, lamb). Take a bag of 30 frozen dumplings to go when u'll leave, it's addictive and very useful at home!
Fun atmosphere for really cool juicy dumplings!
Best dumplings I've found so far. Lamb & Coriander. That's all I need to say really. Steamed of course. Only advice I'd give is to wait a minute or two after getting them so you don't burn yourself, the dumplings are filled with boiling hot liquid. It's a great cheap eats place and I've tried both locations.

Restaurant surclassé!!. Je peux bien comprendre que les amoureux des dumplings adorent ce restaurant, où l'on retrouve une grande variété de ce petit bijoux et avec des saveurs peu banales, notamment la gamme se déclinant avec de la coriandre. C'était aussi copieux. Mais un restaurant c'est une expérience et ici, cela se traduit par un très mauvais service et un endroit malpropre. Pour ma part, je préfère les fins dumplings (avec une pâte très très mince, pour ne pas avoir l'impression de manger des raviolis!) afin que la pâte ne prenne pas toute la place des saveurs en bouche. Le duo agneau et coriandre gagnerait alors tellement en saveur! Lors de notre passage, nous pouvions sentir que les dumplings avaient été préparés en grande vitesse, et non pas avec tout l'amour que ceux-ci méritent… Décidément, il faudra que je retourne très bientôt à Shanghai pour revivre cette histoire d'amour avec les dumplings...
What a great Chinese gem in the heart of Chinatown 2.O. The dumpling selection is varied and they are all tasty. They even split orders so you can get half of two types of dumplings. It does get busy at lumch but somehow they manage to get everything right. Its not a fancy place...but its a good place.
Eat too many everytime. My GF and I order 4 different kinds of steamed dumpling every time we go. The lamb-coriander, chicken-curry and pork-anis are to die for. It's almost as good as Din Tai Fung in HK and L.A. I can't say anything about the rest of the food, only had dumplings.
All hand made, all delicious.. They literally serve only dumplings, but that's fine. The dumplings are exquisite.
Delicious and exactly what I anticipated.
We had 8 people on a Saturday evening, and were lucky to get a big table together.
I had the curry beef dumplings + the chicken and coriander dumplings. I believe everyone in our group liked the curry versions of what they orderes best.
The service was slick and friendly, and the price was reasonable for the food.
The only downside was wait times for some to get their food. There were some people who came after we ordered and received their dumplings before us. There doesn't seem to be a real first come first serve system, which can be frustrating.
Came in just to get a taste so we got the Dumpling Sampler which came with 15 of the chef's choice of dumplings. Among the sampler we got a shrimp/pork/chive, pork/corn, pork/scallion, pork/chives, pork/dill, and curry beef. All of the dumplings were tasty and seasoned well. I prefer this spot over Sammi & Soupe. The interior is nice and they have a cocktails menu too. One complaint is the dining area smells a bit like cigarette smoke which I think came from the kitchen.
For a first time dumpling eater,this was an extremely interesting experience for me.I have never been a fan of them,but my Girlfriend kept encouraging me to go,and to be honest, while I didn't enjoy my dumplings much,I really enjoyed my Girlfriends dumplings with coriander.Plusss,the interior deco felt tranquil and slightly sophisticated.
Would definitely recommend investing!
Very good restaurant, good food and very kind waiters.
Unfortunately they don't have Miso soup in their menu, and I find that there are better dumpling places in the area.
Came here Thursday at around 6 pm for a quick bite (my first time ever at any of this chain’s locations). Place had a few patrons seated and quietly enjoying their dishes, and a couple of guys handling the guests while 3-4 cooks in the back were busy making the dumplings et al. Ordered the seaweed salad and a selection from the Chef’s Menu and received a hot takeout platter with the juiciest steamed dumplings I’ve ever tasted (no way of identifying what flavours I got unfortunately)! Thank you Qing Hua for the nice surprise. My only reservation was the slow reaction time from the staff to some obvious, albeit uncommon requests (possibility of having a seafood-free mixed platter, a to-go cup for green tea). But only an honest effort to each request, so five stars for turning up tasty food in this university crowd-friendly eatery. Keep it up, I’ll be back soon!
