Dumplings, Dumplings, Dumplings! Yi Pin Xiang is a dumpling restaurant in Ville St Laurent that’s well known all over Montreal. Diva #1 was on an intense dumpling crawl, so she decided to check out this restaurant with P’tit Frère. They are known for their boiled dumplings, which are different from steamed soup dumplings that are seemingly more popular in Montreal. Boiled dumplings have a thicker skin and aren’t semi translucent like steamed dumplings, they also don’t have soup in them.
Not bad!. Though I'm partial to soup dumplings (Sammi & Soupe on St. Cat), I decided to give this place a shot. I ordered 3 chicken soups, pork and chive dumplings, beef and chive dumplings, and the potato salad. All in all, very good! One complaint: the chicken soup was not at all what I had expected... the consistency was syrupy, kind of like what you taste when you eat sweet & sour soup. Plus, there was egg in it. If I'd known that beforehand (erm erm vague menu), I wouldn't have ordered it. I was expecting a nice light broth with pieces of chicken, noodles and veggies, but apparently, you only get that if you order the meal-sized soups. Despite this minor setback, I'm pretty sure I'd go back again.
Bon endroit pour dinner. Les dumplings sont excellents et le service est numéro un.
So awsome. I went to there for my friend's birthday. I was a bit skeptical a first. But DAMN. The food was good. I loved their noodles more, because I'm more of a Noodle fan, but the dumpling were a whole other story. It was beyond words. Especially when they fried it. I'm definitely bringing my friends and family to the restaurant. Quick and good service. Clean, spacey, and WIFI !!!!
First People must know it is a dumpling restaurant, but they are delicious. I have tried various dumpling restaurants and this one is very good, it is a place to try. The place is clean and the service is well done.
