Mai Xiang Yuan is one of Montreal’s best dumpling restaurants. If you’re looking for a casual, cheap and speedy place to grab a bite, Mai Xiang Yuan is for you. Li Hui opened the Chinatown location in 2010, and a second location Downtown shortly after. They have been serving up steamy and flavourful Chinese dumplings since!
Named after the Cantonese word for ‘the best flavours of wheat’, Mai Xiang Yuan is constantly producing high quality dumplings made with fresh ingredients. Owner Li Hui immigrated to Montreal from North East China, where dumpling eating is rampant and flavours are never-ending. Her goal was to introduce the beautiful and delicious food she grew up on to her new Montreal community.
The kitchen works collaboratively to produce the huge quantity of dumplings that they serve daily. With over 35 flavours of dumplings and an appetizer menu, the constantly developing menu means that you’ll never get bored. Li Hui is in charge of menu innovations, so you can surely expect an abundance of traditional flavours from her hometown, as well as new and creative flavours!
