Dumplings are good, wish there were more options for pan fried dumpling. They do have veggie options that were recommended by them. Great place to come grab small eats. Service is very fast as well. Food came within 10-15 mins of ordering. Shareable plates as well. Would come back. read more

Mom’s Pan Fried Bun - Pan fried braised pork bun 4 pcs - Dumplings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Jan 2026 updated review. I brought my wife and mother-in-law to try Northern Chinese dim sum. The menu here offers some great value. All items are $9.99 or less. There's food for the whole family. Burgers, wings, rice bowls, noodle in soup, pan fried buns, delicacies and fried snacks. The veggie Siu mai was suprisingly good with sticky rice, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Nice twist to a dim sum staple. The wonton soup $8.99 came with 10 wontons. The broth was savoury and refreshing. We also ordered the braised pork pan fried buns. The bun is fluffy and the pork is juicy. There was no squirt from these buns. The braised beef noodle soup $9.99 had a good broth and decent helping of beef brisket. The pan fried dumplings 8 pcs $6.99 were a delight. The black truffle cream chicken wings 6 pcs $6.99 were good meaty wings with a unique sweet and savoury sauce. The green onion pancakes $2.99 were thin and crispy. I loved dipping it in chilli oil and vinegar. My wife love the pork intestines in garlic sauce. If you're into delicacies then you will love this dish. Overall a great visit and lots of food to try here. I'm happy my mother-in-law enjoyed the food. read more

Every time I've come here there's been a wait but every time I've come here I leave fully satisfied. On my most recent visit I was pleasantly surprised by their burgers! Actually so juicy and succulent and for 6$ you can't go wrong. The sauce is similar to a Big Mac but tastier. Dumplings and buns always 10/10 juicy hot and full of meat. One of my favourite dumpling places. Never disappoints read more

Some of the most delicious soup filled dumplings in the area. All hand made and cooked fresh, it's really great. Some of the regular dumplings have a bit of a hard time staying together but still good. Although I wasn't necessarily a fan of the large meat bun dumplings because they were too doughy, the flavour was on point. They also have a variety of other food to from noodles to snacks to wing. On the point of wings, I found they light and crispy. Really great texture. However they were kind of on the oilier side. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Overall, a great dumpling place in this plaza. A nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon. The place is spacious but I did felt like it's a bit cramped. The tables are a little too close to each other and seating wasn't exactly comfortable. As for the food, we ordered their signature Fresh Pork Pan Fried Buns, Juicy Pork Burger, Shumai and their Sauerkraut and beef sweet potato noodle and a variety of cold appetizers including tripe, pork intestines, bean curds and pig ear. Everything was pretty good. the tripe was covered in sesame paste and was quite good but It was a tad bit too salty for my liking. The Shumai had a sticky rice and bamboo shoot filling which I thought was quite unique. It was soft and the bamboo shoot added texture and tang to it. It was a bit blind but I didn't mind that at all. The noodle soup was also great. The Sauerkraut created a tangy soup base with a bit of spice and I really enjoyed the sweet potato glass noodles. I will say my absolute favorite dish was their juicy burger and pan fried buns which is what they are known for. Both were crispy and was packed with fatty, juicy pork. Overall, this place is great for a cheap and delicious meal! I will say this location is MUCH better than their downtown location. read more

We've been to this location twice now, and the food and service are consistently great! Flora, the manager, and Yani, our server, are beyond amazing, which is rare and unheard of for Asian restaurants! The décor inside is cute, colorful, and bright! The dishes are all reasonably priced, and under $10. The first time we visited, we wanted to try everything, and ordered way too much for two people (9 items)! On our second visit, we stuck with 5 items and left feeling very full. Ordering is via a QR code, or you can choose regular menus. I always put notes on the items we order, and the kitchen staff always accommodates! Weekends are extremely busy, so be prepared to wait. The plaza has ample parking, and we often combine our visits with a trip to the huge Asian grocery store (Asia Foodmart) and a visit to a good bakery (Aromaz). They accept all forms of payment, and I have to repeat myself by saying that Yani and Flora are AWESOME! If you visit, please tell them Ruby says hello! Tips: Order the pork chop on the side (noodle soup), so it stays crispy. Tea is complimentary, and it's decaf (roasted rice)!

Wow! This place is GOLD. It will be on our regular "food roster". So impressed. The suçai bao were exceptional. The menu is extensive and I was seriously impressed with the food offerings. They offer a combination of dim sum and traditional Northern Chinese cold side dishes. This is the next pre-grocery shopping destination for us. read more

I've heard a lot of good things so finally was able to come by. Clean and modern interior. The menu can be accessed by QR code and they have physical copies as well. They're known for their pan fried buns. We tried the braised pork filled ones and they were plump and juicy! The xlb skins were on the thicker side but still fine. Nice and soupy. We also tried the hand pulled dry noodles which had the perfect chewy texture I was hoping for. The green onion pancakes were insanely thin. I enjoyed them a lot more than I expected because they were so crispy. Lastly, the chive and egg pockets were again, a little on the thinner side but the filling was just right in terms of flavour and quantity. Prices were extremely reasonable. Service was pretty good as she transitioned between Mandarin and English fluently. I'd come back! read more

Went to try the Full House Combo, which was a special for $38.99 for only month of June. If you are looking for a great deal, Moms' Pan Fried is a great place for you. Along with full house combo, its menu items are truly affordable and known for their hot and fresh pan-fried buns. For the Full house combo, it includes 1) Pan-fried buns 2) Fried Chicken wings - (crispy and ten flavours to choose from) 3) Noodle Soup - Choice of Tomato Pork Chop or Braised Beef - (We ordered braised beef as it was beef was tender with a strong beef soup base) 4) Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings - (hot dumplings with steamed pork, rich with pork soup) 5) Pumpkin pie with red bean paste/ spring rolls 6) Sweet Soy Milk or Coke - Ordered the Soy milk Overall, the food and service were very quick. It has a clean, newly renovated, bustling atmosphere, perfect for quick meals or just craving Taiwanese/ Shanghainese foods. Come check it out! read more

Every table gets an order of the pan-fried buns ($7.99 for 4) and since there's a constant rotation of them cooking, it's usually the quickest to arrive. With a choice of "fresh meat" or "braised", the fresh pork version is more traditional and didn't disappoint. With a thin steamed shell and well toasted bottom, each palm-sized bun had a decent meat-to-dough ratio and was fluffy and juicy. I'd pass on the Mom's special steamed pork soup dumplings ($5.99 for 6) as there's nothing special about them. In fact, the overly pulverized filling, thick wrapper, and non-existent soup makes these taste like the xiao long bao you'd find frozen at the supermarket. The pan-fried pork dumplings ($6.99 for 8) are better, at least the filling had the crumbly texture you'd expect from something made at a restaurant. Like the buns, they had a well toasted crust, but these seem to be pre-boiled and then pan-fried to order as while the wrapper was sizzling hot, the inside was lukewarm. Vegetable haters rejoice as Mom's Pan-Fried Buns is all meat and carbohydrates. The closest vegetable dish they have on the menu is the tomato flavour noodle soup with fried pork chop ($9.99). While the menu describes the dish as having bean sprouts and antler mushrooms, none arrived in our bowl. Rather, it was heavy on the pork chop with a couple of bean curd sticks and cilantro to complement. I preferred the stronger flavours of the braised beef noodle soup ($9.99), which holds up against the soft chewy noodles. Once again, while there were plenty of bite-sized beef cubes, there wasn't much else other than bean curd stick. All in all, the noodles were fine but could really benefit from being served hotter and the actual noodles cooked less. The honey garlic fried chicken wings ($6.99 for 6) are surprisingly delicious with its uber crispy coating. I liked that the sauce was drizzled on, rather than tossing the wings in it, so there was just enough for flavour without being drenched. And thankfully, these were actually hot, making me want more after one crunchy bite. Their deep-fried rice cake with brown sugar syrup ($2.90 for 6) was also crispy and incorporates an airiness that's almost churro like. It's just a shame there's so little of the watery syrup that's served in a vessel built into the dish that makes it difficult to dip. They should just drizzle the sauce on top, like the chicken wings, to ensure they are better coated. Given you can self-order through a QR code at the table, I'd recommend ordering in batches to ensure the dessert comes after the meal. Our red bean paste pie ($3.50) was one of the first things to arrive so by the end of the meal the pastry was dry and cool. At least the red bean paste was thick and sugary, so it was well flavoured despite not containing much filling. read more

Always go for the dumpling. Dumpling or bun are all good. They are better than noodles. Service is fast. They also serve the fried chicken wings. It is a casual restaurant. It can be pretty busy . although the parking have a lot of space it is usually packed. read more

This is a decent place to stop at when you want some quick comfort food. All of the food that we ordered were decent. The dumplings and buns tasted good but had pretty thick wrappers/bready parts. The burger looked great but only tasted OK. The meat patty left a lot to be desired, but for the price it was actually a decent deal. The staff brought us tea (barley tea I think) as soon as we sat down which is nice. We also ordered by qr code which made things easy. The restaurant was pretty busy when we visited and the tables are located pretty close together. Overall, I would visit again if I happened to be nearby and was in a rush, but it wouldn't be somewhere I would go out of my way for. read more

A surprisingly good quick service restaurant. Tiny compact tables in a bright cheerful decor. Menus are on the QR code posted at two corners of each table. A printed menu is also available on request but viewing the menu through the QR code comes with photos of the foods. Food 4/5 Service 3.75/5 Ambience 3.75/5 Our food came out fast, hot and freshly made. Quick service. We did have to ask for our water to be refilled and empty plates to be removed, however the service was quick. Our favourite was the Mom's Steamed pork dumplings with soup, one of the best! We also ordered: - Honey garlic chicken wings. The batter was crispy and quite thick but still enjoyable. - Pan fried pork buns (4 to a plate) - Scallion pancake - Glass noodle soup with beef slices and pickled mustard. This soup had a kick and it was too spicy for me but my partner enjoyed the spiciness. This was a Sunday night at around 6:30pm. 10 minutes later there was a lineup for a table. The restaurant is one of several eateries in the plazas and parking is extremely busy in this section as there is also a large 24 hour Asian food store across from the restaurant. There is more parking available behind this restaurant strip. read more

I love Mom's Pan Fried Buns and visit often when craving fresh, affordable buns and dumplings. The interior is bright and inviting, with charming cartoon bun branding that adds a fun touch. Service is quick, and ordering via QR code right at your table makes the experience smooth. The prices are very reasonable (under $10), and the portion sizes are perfect for sharing. I'm thrilled they opened a second location in Scarborough! My top recommendations are the Braised Pork Pan-Fried Buns, Mom's Special Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings, Beef Pie, Mango Sago, and Wonton Soup. Everything I've tried is flavorful, fresh, warm, and juicy. On the downside, I wouldn't recommend the rice dishes as I found them lacking in flavor in past visits. Overall, Mom's Pan Fried Buns offers delicious, wallet-friendly eats with great service and a cozy vibe--definitely worth the wait. PRO TIP : Fridays and weekends can get busy, so I suggest joining the queue on the tablet in person, then browsing the nearby Asia Food Mart while you wait. read more

I came to try out this location because of the good experience at their other location on Kennedy Road in Markham. - A02 Fresh Pork Pan-Fried Buns: (A) - great taste and fresh ingredients! - G03 Braised Beef Noodle Soup: (E) - good flavor but there're only a few pieces of beef and almost half is fat (see picture). It's much better at the Kennedy Road store. read more

We came here in recommendations of others hyping it up. We were not disappointed. The pan fried dumplings had a really nice exterior bun. It had a nice fluffy bite but held its structure. The meat was delicious inside. The bottom of the bun had a nice crispiness though I would have liked a little more crunch. The chicken wings were also very good. Still crispy and crunchy with good honey garlics sauce without being overly wet. Great flavor, moist wings. Price: Pretty affordable for some delicious dumplings and wings. read more

Amazing spot for a cheap quick meal! Ordered the braised pork pan fried bun and liked how soft the bun was and had lots of braised pork filling. Also had the braised beef noodle soup and soup was flavourful with a bit of spiciness. However, beef chunks were a bit small. Service is quick but could be improved. Space is bigger compared to some of their other locations but definitely gets quite busy. They have a queue system which is good if you want to go to the supermarket across the street while waiting. read more

Dropped by the newly open location for Mom's Pan Fried Buns, after doing a quick grocery run at Asia food mart. This restaurant is located in a relatively new plaza by Midland and McNicoll. The menu offerings are the same as other locations, fairly priced with their infamous pan friend buns. The buns were delicious (4 for $7.99) and I would highly recommend an order of them. Orders are taken on a QR code on the table and done by patrons online, however the servers are tentative and greet you as soon as you walk in. The restaurant offers a new, clean modern look and feel, welcoming a guests. I will definitely be back. read more

I've seen this restaurant chain pop up before but never had a chance to try it. Finally had the chance to go during lunch on a weekend. It was about 1 pm when we arrived. They have a mobile kiosk checkin process where you out down you name, number and # of people. We waited about 15 minutes for a table. We had the fresh pork pan fried buns, the sticky rice siu mai, pig's ear in garlic sauce, braised beef noodle soup, and the glass noodles soup with beef and pickled mustard. Everything was delicious except the siu mai. It was ok but wouldn't order again. The decor was bright and airy and the service was excellent (very attentive and fast). We may have found a new go to restaurant. There are several locations around the GTA. They have a gift with a google review. read more

Usually not much of a wait. Love the pork buns and the popcorn chicken. Staff is friendly.

Super tasty and cheap. Almost too perfect except the line is always too long even in a weekday morning.

Quality wasn't there, the food came out cold and wasn't appetizing to eat. The food temperature quality of this location isn't the greatest.
