The hand pulled noodles here are so good. My partner and I got the small bowls (braised beef and lamb noodle soups), but the portions are HUGE. Highly recommend going for noodle style 6 (thickest, more chewy) or 4. We also got the pork and cabbage dumplings, which are super juicy. This meal was very filling; we could've done without the dumplings, but they're too good to pass up. Service was ok since only one person was handling most FOH procedures. Atmosphere was also fine. It was just really warm, even with the multiple fans running (open doors, no AC), but it was to be expected with the pots of noodles cooking in the front.

When we decided to try noodle soup, we came straight back here. The restaurant was full, and they offer a wide variety of noodle dishes.

I ordered the medium‑spicy beef noodle soup, and it was incredibly good. I honestly wish we had a place like this back home.

Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior and stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet and Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat and flavor), and rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived! The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes and generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!

I loved the modern calligraphy art on the walls and the clear love of making and serving dumplings at this shop. It was a no frills ordering experience and cash only. Let's keep things simple so you can get your face in some dumplings fast! We ordered wonton soup dumplings (chicken and shrimp). We also got the pork original soup dumplings followed by the pork and crab soup dumplings. Everything came out quickly and nice and piping hot . The size of the dumplings were good along with sufficient soup in them! The cabbage salad also was delicious with a nice horseradish(?) kick to it! We've been to many soup dumpling places in multiple cities and Mai Xiang Yuan is definitely one of our top picks

We wanted to try dumplings at a Chinese restaurant in Montreal, so we came here based on the online…read morereviews. One important thing to note: this place is cash‑only, and there's an ATM right at the entrance. That was literally the first thing the employee told us when we walked in, which felt a bit off‑putting. The dumplings themselves were great, and we ordered beers to go with the meal. However, the payment experience was not good. He quoted the total as 70 CAD and told us that was 62 USD since we said we had USD. When we calculated it ourselves, it came out to 49 USD. After we pointed that out, he claimed the "foreign transaction fees go up and down with inflation," which didn't make sense. It felt like we were almost being overcharged. So we ended up getting CAD from the ATM machine outside and paid him, however, we didn't appreciate his dishonesty and felt like he was trying to scam us.

The hotel was having a five course Christmas dinner, but we just weren't feeling it. So we braved the wind and cold and headed out. Oh my gosh, I am so glad we did. This little shop has the most delicious noodles and ramen! It's a lovely little restaurant that was warm and inviting. We started with the crispy salt and pepper chicken, which was everything it was promised to be. Not over breaded, it was perfectly crispy and wonderful with the spicy dipping sauce. Next, I ordered B1 (Szechuan pork noodle bowl) and hubby got B3 (Maya pork noodle bowl). The waiter cautioned him that it was spicy, but we were all in. It was perfect! Both bowls came with all the accompaniments and were exactly what we were hoping for in the storm. I highly recommend this place.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Simple eatery in Chinatown. Very…read moreefficient service. Tasty food. Cash only. The Long Version: My husband and I had dinner here and it was great. We got the deep fried pork wontons ($5), crispy shrimps ($17.95) and house noodles with beef ($15.95). The fried wontons were really crispy. The wonton wrappers were all blistery. My only complaint is that the amount of ground pork in each wonton was very little, but I guess considering the price, I guess it's to be expected. Luckily the house noodles with beef had a good amount of beef in it. The beef was lean and tender. The noodles were a good texture and there was also broccoli, Bok Choy, onions, cabbage and carrots in it. This was my favourite of the 3 dishes we had. The shrimps were tasty too, but I felt less bang for our buck since the portion was small. The shrimps were crispy and there was diced onions and bell peppers mixed in. There were chili flakes too, so it was a bit spicy. Service was really efficient. Our food came out in record time. They also gave us 2 refillable bottles of water and as soon as we emptied one, they swapped it out for a full one. As soon as we finished a dish, they removed the empty dish from the table. The restaurant is really small, so the servers had an easy view of all the tables. It was almost comical how efficient they were, lol. This place is popular. They seem to have a lot of regulars. Decor is casual. We had a great meal and would return. Review #72 (2025)
