Let us take you on a culinary journey to China right here in N.D.G with our authentic freshly made dumplings. Our mission is simple: serve delicious, affordable food that guests will want to return to week after week. Order by phone. Take out or delivery.
We came by to eat very late dinner while rainy day. He welcomed us with such warmth and the dumplings were really good. Thank you.
We order take-out and bring home. We call ahead of time and dumplings are always ready. Such great options, fairly priced, and fresh! Lamb and Coriander is probably our favorite but they are all delicious. Recommend getting them pan-fried. So tasty.
Amazing dumplings! I ordered #2, #6, and #19 and they were all amazing. The flavour of the chicken curry dumpling (#6) is what stood out from all that I’ve ordered. Dumplings had a good size, texture, and definitely taste. I am sure that I will go back here the next time I’m in town.
Stumped upon this dumpling joint! Was skeptical at first with the 4.4 rating and the ghetto exterior of the building lol, but very glad we tried it out. Very fresh and tasty dumplings! My wife and kids loved it. Free Wi-Fi. Cash or debit only. Recommended #1 (beef, coriander), #7 (chicken, mushroom), #17 (pork, shrimp, coriander) which I tried. Whether it's streamed or pan fry, is really to your own liking, I prefer pan fry. Not too fond of their peanut butter dumpling, was OK, the chilli oil was not spicy enough. If you look for dumplings, this place got you covered! This place is very tiny though, can only seat 12-16 people only, more suited for takeout.
Really great dumplings! They have an impressive variety considering how small it is. We tried the pork and scallop and the pork and cabbage. Both were excellent. DO NOT skip the cucumber salad. We ordered it at the last minute and I'm so happy we did. Awesome spot, sweet owners. Would recommend.
We love to order from Ai Dumpling, my favorite pork chives 🥟 and my hubby takes #21 Tofu veggies 🥟. The chili sauce is sooo good!!! I bought a full pot! Great service, tasty food and various delivery options.
Ai Dumpling in NDG is a small, underrated family-run restaurant well-worth the trip from anywhere in the Montréal area. They make everything fresh to order, and offer vegetarian and vegan options. Three dishes are pictured here: the humble cucumber is elevated to a sublime status with some chili, vinegar, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Refreshing and delicious, and one of several starters and salads. Their wontons are made to order as are their dumplings. Dumplings are served 15 to an order, but diners can combine flavors or have half-portions, and always have the option for boiled or fried! Pictured here are crispy fried shrimp dumplings. 😋🍤
The size of an order of dumplings is very big, you get full with it. The price is around $9-15 depending on the stuffing you like. There’s a lunch special: you get a soup for free with the dumplings. The staff is very nice. Good little place, will come again.
Small hole in the wall Dumplings are delicious! Never disappointed!

Probably the best dumplings I ve had in my life. They actually get a fair amount of orders late at night even with their small facility, yet they keep delivering the best quality service every time. If you get the chance to be served my Amir, you will have a great time.
Very good dumplings. We chose vegan and they were delicious. Very good choice
Just awesome dumplings, quaint little place, open late. Vegetarian options: Several tasty options. Parking: Usually enough spots available reasonably close by.
Great dumplings :)
I order for pickup through their website. Their dumplings are really good ans the portions are big enough. I have never been dissapointed after an order here
Ayyyyyy good food. Price is a bit high.
Delicious Dumplings in many varieties! Super warm and friendly staff always welcoming, today they even made my food 20 minutes before they opened. I love this place and that s why I always come back!
Breathtaking. If I could eat their cucumber salad every day, I would. The sauce, divine.
Pb dumplings are to die for!
Food was good but service noo
We went on Sunday at 12 am! Amazing food and service! I definitely would come back again! 100 % recommended
OKAY SPEECHLESS !! The best hole in the wall dumplings IN MONTREAL!!! The homemade sauces as well dumplings !! MUST GO 10/10
Very good dumplings, if you order in English.
Came to get takeout at 10:45 pm and they re closed! It says they re open until 1 am.
Some of the best dumplings I ve ever had. Worth the bike ride
Great place to grab late night food, got some dumplings after a 2 hour bike ride at 12AM totally worth it
Lovely and very authentic place. Food is delicious, recommend to fans of dumplings)
Really amazing place for dumplings! Service is incredible and so are the owners. Definitely my go to place for dumplings :) Vegetarian options: So happy they have 3 different vegetarian dumpling options!!!
Good service,very nice local business, amazing dumplings. Quality has not gone down since it open
Great service (Larry the owner is a gem and now ar friend). The owners work very hard and the love is evident in the dumplings. There are 3 vegan dumplings and they are all good. I frequent this spot regularly inspite of being vegan.
The steamed dumplings were a hit on all 3 points. 1 sturdy yet delicate wrap 2 moist 3 very flavor full. Sampled shrimp\coriander & zucchini mushrooms. And all handmade, friendly and accommodating. Vegetarian options: Good
Great dumplings and prices.
Best place for dumplings perfect for delivery or if you Want to sit in a typical Asia street food restaurant/bar. There is only 10seats. My Goto for dumplings
Great dumplings.
Delicious dumplings, very flavorful! Super nice staff too! Will definitely be back!
I came with my grandma and found a hidden gem. The place is very clean, has excellent service and delicious dumplings. A must try for anyone in visiting the Côte Saint-Luc area.
Delicious dumplings!! Especially the ones with beef and fried curry.
Prolly best dumpling place in city Delicious & service always with a smile!! Food
Love to discover neighborhood family-run places! Had the cucumber salad, hot & sour soup, lamb & oregano steamed dumplings and the chicken curry friend dumplings: outstanding! Also loved the dainty teacups for the green tea. Sweet ladies, great service with smiles all around. Gave atmosphere 5 stars because no, it s not a trendy hipster joint, but a clean and functional space with soft Asian music in the background. Charming!
Nice staff, cozy restaurant. Food is okay.
Hidden gem!! The dumplings were amazing, very tatsy and fresh. Can t wait to go back! I recommend the fried beef curry dumplings Food : 5/5
Yes!!
We didnt have dinner and stopped at this little dumpling restaurant. They were tasty, the waiter very nice! Definitely not our last visit and made our favorite dumpling place.
I was on UberEat, made an order and they acepted it.. I waited nearly an hour and half to realise they closed the restaurant at 4:00 am ! The order got placed and accepted around 04:00 am and 04:05 am! They never made my order while saying they did, and had to pay for an order I never received. Was my first and last time with this restaurant.
Great taste
This little dumpling place packs a punch of goodnesses and tastiness.
Good dumplings
Delicious fried dumplings.
If I could rate 5 more stars I would. The food is amazing, and the staff is the nicest. 10/10 always would recommend best dumpling spot. We love Ai Dumpling <3
The food was great
I ordered 15 vegetarian dumplings from there through Uber and got a seafood dumpling and I couldnt even contact them to solve it because their line was busy and I just kept calling and never got through. I should at least get a free meal for that but I cant even contact them so maybe they should get a second line if theyre that busy or hire more people
My God the place is awesome. the food is freakin awesome. the service is amazing. the white girl serving the order was very kind and polite. Woow. dumplings and the wonton soup and the hot and sour soup.. impeccable. Love it. Could have given more stars if I could.
Okay. So my girlfriend and I were looking for a place to eat and we decided on dumplings. By the time we arrived to Ai Dumpling, we were kinda sceptical about the quality of the food from how the place looked like. What this place showed us was to not judge a book by its cover. The owner was really kind and nice, the music (Marvin Gaye) set a really nice mood and the quality of the dumplings, fresh, were better than expected. You can taste the homemade dumpling wrappers easily. Price was not too bad, and the black vinegar is a really nice compliment with the soy sauce. Will come back soon. Love the staff. Get some sleep sir!! ;) ps. Please respect covid restrictions for the courtesy of your own customers!
Place has weird unpleasant smell. Good dumplings for takeout though.
Love clean fast service small place with a big heart, simply dumpling expert.
Chicken and coriander dumplings were juicy and delicious
Amazing dumpling. But Won Ton & Sweet&Sour soup is very overpriced$ Dumplings definitely worth it
Have you ever been eating a nice meal and then go wait how much did I eat? I HAD 25 DUMPLINGS??!!! This place is so good man. Dumplings are amazing. $13.99 for 15 and sooo worth it. Havent tried anything else yet but Id love to try the wonton soup.
Love the flavor of the steamed dumplings with coriander! Im a returning customer!
Really good dumplings. Very nice staff. Highly recommended
good but should update store hours so I dont show up at 1AM and nobody is there has happened a few times
Good but a bit expensive...
Good but expensive...
Great dumplings, all of flavors Ive tried are enjoyable/tasty. Ive have picked up several times, the only downside is thier dumpling sauces (vinegar, soya, or oily pepper flakes) so I just make my own at home (garlic, mirin, soya, sesame oil, honey). If they had the standard dumpling sauce (ingredients above) this restaurant would get 5 stars from me.
I wanted dumplings. So tried this place (Uber eats). They tasted ok. My biggest issue here is that its way too expensive for what it is. I ended up paying over 30$ (after tax tip delivery etc) for 15 very small sized Dumplings. I remember dumplings being bigger than that. Maybe covid cutting costs or something. They tasted like they had some seasoning, but I could still taste the rawish chicken taste/smell (gamey), not pleasant for me. They were bit cold but heated a couple seconds and they tasted better. To top it off they charged me 50 cents for a very small soya sauce. To me This was a rip off. Fortune cookie was stale.
We couldn t believe they were open til 4am. Delicious food, excellent hospitality, memorable experience.
My partner and I ate here and it was great! The food was delicious, the owners are super friendly, and they are open late hours for night owls like myself. I will definitely come again!
Wonderful food. Great service. Kind considerations. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend the fried lamb dumpling and the hot and sour soup. I ussually hate hot and sour soup but this one is exceptional
Excellent place to eat dumplings! The people here is very nice I love it
The coriander porc dumplings are so good!
AMAZING dumplings!! Fresh, yummy and great service. My son had his first dumplings there and now its his favorite meal. Thank you! Food
delicious dumplings and kind service!
Best dumplings in Montreal, hands down.
Cast choice of fillings at reasonable prices. Absolutely delicious
You order and you get almost no food and a huge price .
Great food, great service! Got the tofu and the cabbage mushroom dumplings, delicious.
Delicious vegan friendly dumplings and some very friendly service. Highly recommended!
Found this place cuz we went for chicken across the street and damn are we glad we found it. Now our favourite chicken and dumplings places are right across the street from one and other. 2 birds with one stone. The chicken and shrimp dumplings ( fried ) are amazing and the service was very kind and friendly. I recommend this place to everyone
Great dumplings!
Tasty. But expensive.
Simple honest and good tasting dumplings. Staff are very patient and seem kind.
Great home made dumplings! I recommend.
Discovered this place this years . Great dumpling very tasty steamed or fried. Staff friendly. Service efficient for pick-up
Best dumpling on planet earth and im a dumpling conausseur
Waiter was very angry he was talking on the phone shouting! It stops you from wanting to order! Pretty good food
Bomb dumplings. Open til 4 am. Love it
Delicious Great after a long day at work
Honestly such a good spot, dumplings are amazing, always fresh and relatively inexpensive compared to some other places Would recommend
Homemade and fresh dumplings with many choices of stuffing. Really good prices and tasty. Nice service.
Perfect home made dumplings with traditional Chinese taste. Chilli oil is also good.
Dumplings are tasty however the lack of consistency is my reason for such a poor rating. I ve ordered dumplings here maybe 6 times and 4/6 times my dumplings have been burnt. The first couple times the owner would serve them to me without saying a word about them being burnt and I would only find out once i go home (i get takeout). There s even been times when I come in and he admits to burning my dumplings and showed them to me hoping that i would be willing to take them home like that. I quite honestly don t understand how the business owners are comfortable serving someone BURNT food. I ve also ordered via uber before and paid extra to have the dumplings fried, and when they came they weren t even fried. I m a good customer, I m very patient and i tip well and yet there s no compensation for my burnt food, no lack of accountability when it comes to poor customer service. I d rather offer my business elsewhere to someone that is going to have enough common sense to not burn my food every time i order it.
Nice lady good food
Ive tried about 6 or 7 dumpling places in and around Montreal and this place is average, but their prices arent competitive. Most places charge $10.99 and they charge $13.99 but if you have a late night craving and dont mind the extra then theyre opened till 4am.
Shrimp dumplings are bomb
Best dumplings in Montreal! Very fast and the staff is efficient and courteous!
good experience with this restaurant. I tried other dumpling restaurant but here is best taste and quality workers are really nice
I enjoyed my time there.
Very surprising spot! Great takeout and hidden gem
Their website seems to have Spyware/ malware, so I dont recommend going to their web site. Their restaurant appears to be infested with spiders from past visits to pick up food. Aside from that, their food tastes good, their prices are good, and theyre open late.
Great variety of dumplings!
Wonton soup is over priced, close to 7$ and it doesnt even taste good. Very disappointing.
The place doesnt look very clean or authentic. All their dumplings are frozen and nothing is fresh. I wouldnt recommend it.
Food was delicious but inside was not very clean.
Perfect! The waitress was very nice! I love these dumplings. I went with my husband, Weve eaten 3 plates of dumplings!!!! Small place but the food is exquisite!!!!!
Its ok.
Great dumplings! Love it! They have a huge variety. The staff was also very kind and the spot is very welcoming!
Excellent and fresh cooked to perfection and always good to take some home to cook later.
Delicious !!
Great food, but service is only a tad lacking. I feel like theyll improve with time though!
Always a pleasure to eat nice dumplings here. The service is very courteous, the prices are releasable and the food is delicious.
The Dumplings are just amazing! Huge portion
Very good! The room is quite small and damp. Seems mainly geared towards home delivery thanks to Uber eat or skip the dishes.
Takes time to be done but it worth it!!!
Very delicious home made dumplings (ordered steamed), the only problem is they dont have good ventilation system so u will smell like fried dumplings
Taste is good, but for the love of god cut back on the oil... very oily/grease, charging extra for pan fried and sauce is ridiculous..
I once ordered from here because i used to like it since it was so close and had decent dumplings. I always get the pork dumplings, but as i was eating one, suddenly something hard made my tooth chip, which i cant afford to get fixed and still bothers me. Ive also many times found steel wool in my dumplings. Please dont eat here for your health and safety
Ordered wonton and spicy noodles which appeared to be in a broth, but both dishes were soaked purely in oil. The Wonton was more oil than broth and it was absolutely disgusting , I felt like I was drinking a bottle of cooking oil.
They let me wait for my order for an hour via uber eats.I tracked my order. Changed drivers for three many times. Then boom! My order was cancelled.no explanation.I didn t get my money back. I never received a call so at least i know what s going on. We went to the restaurant to check ourselves what was happening. The lady from Ai dumplings said they have the food ready but Uber eats just cancelled 5 orders. She just told me to go to Help section of Uber eats to ask for refund.
good, but they have increased their price on uber eat during the covid crisis.... not good spirit
Best lamb and coriander dumplings!
We just love their homemade dumplings. So many flavors to chose from too ! Oh and affordable.
Ok WOW!!!!! I just ordered there for the first time and it won t be the last for sure. Everything was fresh and delicious. A+++
avoid at all cost. food is not fresh
Service always on point and the dumplings are delicious
Great food
So delicious! The chicken curry dumplings are next level! Next time, I d like sauce with the dumplings but I believe it costs extra (good thing I had some at home!)
I had the pleasure of trying some dumplings from Ai Dumpling. They were cooked to perfection with well balanced flavors. Its a bit costly when you tack on delivery charges but other than that its a great find.
Some of the best dumplings in all of NDG! Allô of the ingredients are fresh and the dumplings and soups are delicious! 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing home made dumplings best in the city along with the soups and salads .
One of my favourite spot in town! They offer a good range of choices and honestly everything I have ever tried is delicious.
Great dumplings
The dumplings were really good. They have different kinds of flavors and you can choose if you want it either steamed or fried. The place is small though.
I have to give just one star for the service.....How is it still possible today to run a restaurant with three people and NONE of them speak French and even in English we cannot understand each other? . Naturally, after explaining and almost miming the order, I didnt get what I wanted. What a shame, the dumplings are among the best Ive tasted. The decor leaves something to be desired. Please make an effort, we are in Quebec.
Super friendly and great service. The dumplings were great and quite enjoyable with a large portion. We wound up taking some home with us as leftovers to finish up later on. There will certainly be return visits in the future.
Very good dumplings, great appetizers and sides. Only wish they had more vegetarian options!
Great dumplings, so glad I dont have to go downtown for my dumpling fix.
