Qing Hua Chinatown

Pour apprécier un restaurant chinois, souvent il faudra fermer les yeux sur la qualité du service, la salubrité des lieux ou le décor. Ici, on y va pour la nourriture et le faible coût des repas.
Ceux avec des crevettes apportent une texture intéressante. Ceux au curry apporte un gout qui fait changement. Sinon, je trouve qu’il est difficile de gouter la différence entre toutes les variantes de porc, sauf ceux aux champignons.
J’ai essayé presque tous les restaurants de dumplings possibles et je retourne le plus souvent à ce restaurant. Qing Hua a 2 succursales sous le nom de Qing Hua (quartier chinois et proche métro Guy-​Concordia) et une autre sous le nom Sammi Soupe. Le goût des dumplings du restaurant Mai Xiang Yuan est semblable. Mai Xiang Yuan a également une succursale dans le quartier chinois et un sur ste-​catherine Ouest. J’ai également gouté à Trilogie que j’ai apprécié, mais pas autant que ceux-​ci.

Ugh we were v ignored bad service dumplings were pretty good but ordered way too many because were fu**in hungry #ragrets

Not bad, but not good either. The food took over an hour to arrive, and the fillings tasted as if the ingredients were not very fresh. Even then, the flavors were not too bad, so it could’ve been much better on another day.
Knowing how cheap it is to make dumplings, I am quite amazed at how much they charge you, when it is advertised as a one-​dollar-​sign restaurant. I would have to spend closer to 20 – 25 $ to be full after eating here.

This second time I been here. The food quality goes down a lot. The dumping stuffing is dry and no juicy unlike the first time I ate here.

J’avais une rage de dumping et elle a été bien assouvie. Ce n’est vraiment pas les meilleurs dumpling que j’ai mangé mais c’est loin d’être les pires.
Je né conseille pas les frits, il n’était vraiment pas génial et seulement grillé d’un côté.
Difficile d’y aller avec une poussette.

Food: In a place like MTL where «authentic» Chinese food is scarce, Qing Hua deserve an applause. I would give them 4-​stars just because of the food. Yes it’s not perfect but hey, probably one of the best 灌汤饺 here~ Flavorful, juicy and always HOT when it comes (so important for dumplings! +10 points!!) because dumplings are to be eaten hot! (Golden rule hihi)
Service: Euh… I guess here we have to use a little Chinese magic? We do the Chinese ways, ask, ask and ask again or you will never get what you want ^_​_​_​^
Price: very good quality/​price ratio~
Ambiance: Like most of Chinese restaurant in the area, we go for food only, not a place to linger to talk about your life, at least clean, that’s the most important thing here~

Wow, this place was amazing! Delicious soup dumplings with incredibly tasty dough and broth. My friend and I shared the curry chicken and chicken and mushroom dumplings — both were wonderful, but my favorite was the chicken and mushroom. One note: the service is not incredibly friendly. Go for the food, not the setting.

Belle découverte. Étions un groupe de 5 et avons eu un très bon service rapide et sympathique. Les entrées commandées: Concombre mariné, tofu épicé ainsi que salade de chou vinaigré. Les dumplings sont fins et raffinés. Nous avons partagé plusieurs variétés qui viennent en 15 morceaux. Je le recommande sans hésiter !

The dumplings were very tasty, juicy on the inside, great flavors. We ordered boiled pork+cabbage which were a bit bland and hard to handle, but steamed pork+cilantro were amazing. We also got the cucumber salad (vinegary and a little spicy) which was delicious.
The quality+quantity/price ratio was great, considering we paid ~8 $ for 15 dumplings, which was more than enough to fill us up.
Only con, I’ve found the service a little slow and tone-​deaf. Even as a francophone trying to speak understandable French we were coerced into speaking English, which, even as a bilingual, I find rude. The waitress came within a minute to take our order, we weren’t ready, and then getting her back took maybe 10 minutes despite repeated eye-​contacts. When it came to paying, we just stood up and went to the till.
Pros: Flavor, quantity, price
Cons: Service
I’d go back for the food despite the service. Hopefully they can improve. I will try the other dumpling spots though.

I have rarely been disappointed by a dumpling joint but this one somehow found a way. I waited a full hour before my food arrived and the service was terrible.
The food wasn’t anything impressive for the wait. The lychee drink is also very disappointing for the price.
The Qing Hua near Downtown is miles better.

Wow! J’en reviens pas que le monde est si sévère avec cet endroit.
Je vois 2 raisons possible d’être sévère avec cet endroit
1: Pas de buns steamer ou menu assez petit. S’il était rotatif ou changeant, ça serait cool, mais le menu est juste vraiment trop basic comparé aux autres endroits.
2: Le staff est weird et vraiment peu conaissant en anglais ou en français.
Sinon les dim sums sont excellent. Le jus dans le dimsum C’est supposé être comme ça. Un Dim sum tu suces-​bois le jus, trempe le dimsum dans la petite sauce, et on mange.
Il y a 15 dim sums par sortes a envrion 13 $ par choix. C’est donc un peu plus dispendieux. Les drinks sont boff mais honnêtement, tous les points possiblement allouable à la qualité des dim sums, ils l’ont, C’est délicieux. C’est un peu moins bon que Mother’s dumpling mais beaucoup moins sec que ceux que j’ai mangé. On a le choix de les avoir a la vapeur ou frit.
J’ai mangé Porc et crevrette, Poulet au Cari et Agneau et Coriandre. C’est vraiment le choix le plus logique à mon avis.

Cheap but not as good as they used to be. The dumplings are very doughy and the flavor is just ok. If you go at lunch time (until 3pm) you can get a big plate of boiled, steamed, or fried dumplings for $ 6 — $ 11 and soups for $ 2 a bowl.
