Trilogie

the craziest of hidden gem because of the extremely bad opening hours. yes, the hours are fucking bad! i understand why too if you know the story of the owner and her family. they might extend the hours eventually but for now, its the kind of place where you call in sick, skip work and go to lunch earlier or i don’t know, find a way to go.
the dumplings are very good. they are big but are very light. the smashed cucumber salad is to die for. the hit of spicy and the sour yet sweet black vinegar is a perfect balance of taste that awaken your buds.
in term of dumplings, there isn’t a lot of choice and that’s ok by me. few choices but make it great and that’s what they do. there’s a dumpling du jour if you want to change things up a bit.
as for lineup, it can be long, quite long but it moves at a decent pace. you’ll probably have to share a table. personally, it adds to the experience as you may share with first timers. there’s takeout if you will but who does takeout?
as for groups, your best chance is at opening (11am) or after the hungry lunchers which is around 130pm-​2pm.
simply, this dumpling joint is IT! there’s a perfect harmony and balance of flavor between each dish that you don’t quite get at any dumpling joints. well, of the ones i tried

Bön restaurant de dumplings dans Villeray.
Lorsque nous avons enfin réussi à y aller, nous avions mangé de savoureux dumplings et de très bonnes petites salades.
GROS bémol: c’est juste impossible d’y aller!
Ouverture du lundi au vendredi de 11h à 15h et fermé la fin de semaine et durant les fêtes!
Bonne chance pour trouver un moment pour y aller…

Dumpling, bons … Simple. Peu de choses sur le menu. Les spécialités du jour étaient très bonnes. Particulièrement les dumplings aux crevettes.

Stood in line based on all the hype for this little restaurant waaaay up the hill on St. Laurent. Had dim sum the day before in Chinatown which was hands down better. We ordered the only two non-​vegetarian dumplings with 2 of the 4 available sauces. One was shrimp the other pork. No hint of either. We kept trying The one that was supposed to be shrimp (we think) was over-​fried to toughness. Didn’t get the right two sauces so ended up with a third. Overwhelming vinegar in two of them although the one with harrissa was the best of the three. The other sauce was in the nature of satay which I normally like
but I didn’t like the flavor and it plainly did not go with the dumplings in any case.
Décor is not kitchy, it’s just non-​existent. Thermoses? Really?
We have a small dumpling place near us in Connecticut that produces much better fare.
Obviously will not be back.

delicious dumplings, although I would stay away from the vegetarian one. very fresh ingredients. i’ve already been back several times. the wonton appetizers was delicious.

Ouvert de 11h00 à 15h00, du lundi au vendredi, il faut le savoir et surtout être dans le coin.
Ceci dit, les dumplings sont savoureux, j’ai aimé les salades.
On gagne à le connaître. En espérant que les heures d’ouverture soient plus étendues. Excellent service
