Dumpling King — Restaurant in Montreal

We got Shrimp Dim Sum, pork and cabbage dumplings, veggie dumplings, wonton soup, and edamame. I like the owners of this place but they are a bit stingy and not business savvy. We had to ask to get chili oil and were brought a very tiny amount. Isn't chili oil like a standard in dumpling places? The soy sauce felt like it lacked salt (how is that even possible). These are cheap ingredients that better the experience of the customer and the owners should understand that being cheap about this really leaves a bad taste (sometimes literally).

For the food, the wonton soup was reasonably good, the edamame were brought nice and warm, and the shrimp dim sum were stuffed well (though the shrimp was not chopped and there was too much dough). But the pork and veggie dumplings were really bad. The the pork dumplings lacked fat or flavor. The veggie dumplings were under seasoned. This was really quite disappointing; when I'm craving dumplings, I expect a sumptuous umami filled bite. Also, there are in total three pork dumplings, where the pork and leek dumpling has to come with shrimp. I don't get why the pork and cabbage dumpling can't instead be pork and coriander or pork and leeks. They are rigid about this and the choices are limited. Overall, sad to say a no no for me for future dumpling cravings. Three stars includes one star because I like the elderly couple who...

It was my fist time going to Dumpling King with my fiancé. First, we were greeted in a friendly way by the waitress. However, things took a turn when we ordered our meal.

We only ordered two things and it seemed like she was upset we didn't order more. Her attitude became cold. She didn't even come to the table to ask us how the food was. Despite the food being pretty good, I will not be coming back here again. The service was lackluster.

She didn't even ask us if it was our first time coming to the restaurant, but asked that to the two well-dressed gentlemen. She also treated the other couple who was there before us with politeness. All she did with us was give us the food and seem annoyed when we asked for a spoon and an extra to-go container (which she did not provide because "no problem, everything will fit in one!"). I don't know if this was an isolated incident, but the people she was kind to were white and we were people of colour.

When we paid, she didn't wish us a great day, nothing. It seemed like she outright didn't want...

While the "special" dumplings, like Har Kaw, Xiao Long Bao and Siu Mai were presented nicely, they are a bit expensive, about 8$ for 5 pieces. The more "regular" dumplings where you pick your own fillings are cheaper, around 11$ for 10 pieces. I do enjoy the fact that they offer steamed and pan fried for the same price unlike some other dumpling places. The amount of fillings is decent and the flavours are average. Their homemade sauce is a bit lacking in flavours and doesn't enhance the flavours of the dumplings. Their chili sauce of the other hand was tasty. A bit less spicy than a lot of other ones, but still decent in flavours. My favourite ones were the Siu Mai and Har Kaw that were flavourful. In contrast, the Xiao Long Bao was a bit dry and bland. The regular dumplings were also soupy so I didn't understand why the one called steamed juicy dumplings in their menu was the one...
