Amazing xiaolongbao! So delicious. Their dumplings were FULL of soup and the pork was really great as well. The pan-fried dumplings were generous in size and perfectly crispy. Service was warm and attentive. The restaurant was clean and easy to drop into for a quick bite. read more

Watch your step getting to this one - as it's down a few steps - that you can easily trip down. Place was pretty small, and the tables were pretty close together, however still enough space to have conversations. Service was neutral - it was basically order and move on with your day. The XLB lacked temperature, however was very juicy - pork was flavoured well. The Pan Fried was a bit too charred for my liking, don't get me wrong, I love the crispiness, however, don't need the burnt taste to go along with it. I'd come back to explore the menu - read more

This is a simple cozy meal with my friend at an unpretentious restaurant. The service was very prompt with the dishes being served quickly. We ordered: Cold braised beef shanks which was tender and delicious with the dipping sauce. Fried vegetables with garlic. The leafy green was nice and fresh. Fried pork chives dumplings - this was addictive!! Steamed beef celery dumplings - love the taste of celery with the beef. Stir-fried clams with cumin chilli was super tasty, and there were plenty of clams!! Highly recommended!! read more

Authentic & delicious dumpling spot, it's a bit on the pricier side but it's a solid quality dumpling. We tried the beef / shrimp / chive dumpling steamed which was good and juicy but the not best texture wise. We also tried the mutton / dill which was a better filling combo, but I liked the fried texture less than the steamed. Cucumber salad was just ok. Overall was a good quick meal when you're craving some dumplings, but I definitely wish they had better sauce options. read more

We came to visit this place after seeing all the TikTok's about how great the place was. But when we got there, the food was disappointing. The wait time was super long and was not worth the wait, as we have been to other restaurants that had better dumplings. The one nightlight of our meal was the cold noodles. It was pretty tasty, it is on the saltier side. The decor of the restaurant is slightly run down. You are definitely not there for the environment. read more

I am so glad to know that their beautiful, carefully prepared hand made Xiao Long Bao is still there! I came back to this place for "eat-in" - first time after pandemic! We ordered: D02 Xiaolong juicy pork buns E7 Pork and onion dumplings pan fried F01 Green onion pancakes Xiao Long Bao's skin was thin, holding a lot of soup inside. Sealed beautifully and no leak. The soup itself has light taste, but it integrates with meat very well helping to make the whole smooth in the mouth. This is a gem of elegance shining in the entire menu items. We liked pan fried dumplings. Not the best, but is good and juicy. I am not a fan of Green onion pancakes. I found it a bit greasy for my liking. Outside was flaky making a great textual contrast with the chewiness inside. The seasoning was perfect. What I like about here was their warm and simple customer service. It is one of these hole-in-the-wall places but homey. :) read more

A staple dumpling spot in the heart of Toronto's Chinatown serving some tasty comfort food! I ordered three dishes to share: Beef and Onion Pan Fried dumplings, Pork, Shrimp & Chive Boiled dumplings and Green Onion Pancake. Both dumplings I ordered were VERY fresh and were cooked to perfection (not too salty or oily). The green onion pancake was crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. While they were busy during my visit, the server was super attentive to me and my table and made sure that my food came out quickly. The restaurant exuded a warm, inviting ambiance, fostering an atmosphere of communal enjoyment. Remarkably, the prices were VERY affordable, especially considering the generous portions ideal for sharing. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone seeking budget-friendly Asian cuisine in downtown Toronto! read more

Amazing dumplings and so many options! Chicken, mutton, pork, vegetarian, steamed, pan fried, stuffed pancakes, sweet dumplings and the list goes on. They take cash or debit (no credit) so come prepared. Most options are not gluten free. You have to climb down some stairs to get in (if you have mobility issues). Bring an appetite, you'll be having the best dumplings in town! You can also take some frozen ones home to recreate the meal experience later. read more

The food was delicious, it is a hidden gem! You can smell the food as soon as you walk in the door, and it is a very small family owned business atmosphere. Food came out promptly and the ordering process was super smooth. read more

Sooo good, a small restaurant downstairs on Huron street, just off of Dundas. We spoke English but the lady serving us was super nice and explained the dishes to us. We got the pan fried dumplings, pan fried Bao, onion pancakes, and ja jang noodles with pork. Some of the best Chinese food I had in a while, everything was a hit. The pancakes were so crispy, the dumplings and buns were properly seasoned without a lot (or any?) of msg. Noodles were also super delicious. I could tell that everything was homemade! If the flavours are too mild, you can add vinegar/soy/chili oil self serve. Highly recommend you try out a variety of dishes from the menu! read more

Let me tell you the food here was incredible--period. Their noddles had the perfect bounce with just the right amount of chew. The dumplings came out blisteringly hot and stuffed with filling. Everything came out quickly. The owners or staff there were incredible such kind people. Over all a place I would drive 2 hours to eat at any day of the week! read more

I thought to myself, "I've been here before," pre-Yelp though and I remember because of the bow and arrow set on the wall. That's a very odd decoration for an XLB shop but that's fine with me and that contrast made it stick in my long term memory. The positive Yelp reviews and high ratings and the easy walk from Spadina, made this the right choice for a quick and satisfying lunch. Plus, we needed a break from Rol-San. We got a variety and they make these dumplings on-site, you'll see that in the non-uniformity in shape and size. We went with fried (you can see the gyoza wings in my pic), the "wings" connect the dumplings on the plate. We had some steamed. We had some really good Chinese broccoli sautéed in garlic. The house tea cleansed your taste palate as you prepared to have some more. Their chili oil, it appeared to be home made too. Ok, I had a rookie mistake, I bit into my soup dumpling too aggressively and the juice shot out, onto my lap. So I quickly went to the restroom to blot out the juice. By the time I got out, it looked like I had an accident. Coincidentally a lady was waiting on me when I opened the door. I felt a little embarrassed (due to the expression on her face) but I didn't want to explain myself because I wanted to get back to my XLB. So all in all, Yummy Yummy has good food and variety. We were served quickly and we filled up quickly so that we could do some more shopping on Spadina. When I come back, I'll get the backstory on the archery set. read more

Average tasting dumplings. It's ok for downtown. Housemade soy milk was nice. Seating is like a food court, which is fine. Service is average (there's only 1 lady working so they look understaffed when it's busy) read more

My husband and I are obsessed with dumplings. Sadly, we live in Pittsburgh and there are only a few places to get good dumplings. When visiting Toronto, I was so excited to find this place. I wasn't leaving without them. Wow! We were so happy with the two different kinds of dumplings we ordered. We came for the soup dumplings which are very tough to find near us. They were good and had flavorful broth inside. Wish you had more of a choice on how many in one container you could order. Double would have been too much for two people while trying the other kind. The Fried Pork and Chive dumplings were the winner. They were so crisp, tasty and flavorful. We liked them the best. If you love dumplings like we do, check them out while in Toronto. read more

Pretty good Chinese spot with limited service - you write your order down on paper and hand it to them. We ordered the potstickers, black bean noodles, and sesame noodles. The black bean noodles were my favorite - delicious black bean sauce, refreshing cucumber, and thick and QQ noodles. This and the sesame noodles are served room temp/cold, FYI. Nice for a summer day. The sesame noodles were more savory than I expected as I am used to dome that are a little sweeter but this was not bad. A strong savory soy and sesame taste. We also enjoyed the potstickers, just wished the skin of it was a little thinner. read more

NOTE: Cash only establishment (or Canadian debit cards only). This is such a delicious hole in the wall place! We were wandering around Chinatown and made a quick trip to try the handmade dumplings. We tried the beef and onion dumplings, and the pork and celery dumplings. Both kinds of dumplings were steamed (you can get them fried or boiled as well). The service was great, and the food was amazing! Cannot ask for more! read more

Yummy Yummy Dumplings - Beef and onion steamed dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Stepping out of the drizzle on a damp December day into the murmur of a basement dumpling restaurant filled with the smells of a wonderful lunch. It is always a good sign when it is still packed at 2:15pm. We ordered green onion pancakes, chicken with green pepper dumpling both pan-fried and steamed, hot and sour soup, and sesame noodles. The waitress kindly suggested we try Zha Jiang noodles instead as she felt that we would like them. My daughter and son said the steamed dumplings were the best they had ever had and their favorite. My wife said the hot and sour soup was her favorite followed closely by the scallion pancakes. I loved the Zha Jiang pancakes and was so pleased to have been able to try them. The steamed dumplings were also the best I have ever had including in Hong Kong. I will tell everyone about Yummy Yummy Dumplings. Definitely worth the short wait. They only take cash and debit despite what their site says. read more

Their dumplings are quite good. I ordered the dill and pork dumplings steamed and found it to be delicious. Since I was coming allone, I was not able to try other options. However, I did come about 8 years ago and it was good back then too. :) They did raise the prices significantly so most dishes are over $12. However, if you pay cash they will give you 10% off which is an incentive. read more

Was honestly disappointed with Yummy Yummy Dumplings. My friend and I came here after a long shift and I heard about this restaurant so I was excited to treat myself. I wanted to try their black bean noodles and their dumplings. So I ordered the zha jiang mian which came with a small amount of black bean sauce and pork. We also shared the pork and chive dumplings. The zha jiang mian was dry and it wasn't that good. There wasn't enough of the sauce to properly coat and mix the noodles so I was not a fan. We also got the pork and chive dumplings and the server was pushing us to buy their "fish" dumplings instead. I felt it was because it was nearing close time that maybe they made a batch that didn't sell and wanted to sell them to us. But we persisted and got the pork and chive dumplings which were okay, nothing special. The restaurant's hours outside also says they close at 10:30pm on weekends but by 9pm, the server was saying to us they closed and we had to quickly get out. The other customer also just got his dumplings 10 minutes before this closing time and 2 other customers were just coming in for a table. Better to update your hours outside to inform your customers. I also had concerns about cleanliness as I found a small hair in the noodles and I saw questionable cleaning practices. Seeing the other reviews, perhaps this experience was just a miss but I will not be returning. read more

These are definitely good dumplings... respectable. Best we have ever had? No. But nothing here was bad! The pork soup dumplings were very good. The scallion pancakes needed more... scallions. The soup with wontons was needing something... salt? The beef and celery boiled dumplings were quite good. The star of the show was the shrimp noodles - the flavor there was fantastic. The service was good and so kind to our kids - who gobbled up everything. They take debit but not credit cards. This is a hole in the wall sort of place...you aren't there for the decor. read more

Yummy Yummy Dumplings is one of those unassuming, small, "walk down" restaurants in Toronto's downtown Chinatown that too many people just walk right past. Trust us: walking past this delightful, authentic spot is your loss. The food is fabulous, the prices are reasonable, and the people running the shop are a delight. The Xiaolong Juicy Pork Buns (known more universally as Xiao Long Bao) are the best we've found in Toronto. The dumplings are a good mouthful, the dough holds the soup inside and is a perfect, chewy consistency, and the broth and pork are out of this world tasty. If you order nothing else on the menu, be sure to order this! We tried two other dumplings: chicken, bamboo and black fungus (fried); and, corn dumplings with chicken and shrimp (steamed). Both were delicious. The next time we're back (and we'll definitely be back) we'll begin our quest to try all of the flavour and filling combinations on their extensive dumpling menu. We can't wait for that quest to begin. Three generous platters of dumplings with tea came to $48.00 (taxes and tip included). Great value for money. Highly recommended. read more

Don't let the downstairs slightly rundown interior fool you. Yummy Yummy Dumplings is a GEM in all of Chinatown in Toronto. Been coming here for years. What a find! Emily is the absolute SWEETEST Person to ever work in any Restaurant ever. She takes care of you. If you're a Regular her hospitality is ramped up tenfold. The Dumplings are Incredibly Fresh, Delicious and frequently surprising with a unique twist in flavor specific to this restaurant. My Favorites Shredded Potato Salad Celery And Tofu Skin Salad Hot And Sour Soup Shrimp, Chive & Egg Dumplings Cabbage, Mushroom & Egg Dumplings The Dumplings You can get Boiled, Pan Fried or Steamed for around $12.99 for 10-12 Dumplings depending on Filling. My favorite style is Pan Fried. The flavors pop a little more for me. Please go. Please go FREQUENTLY. Tell them Emily's biggest Fan sent You ;-) read more

One of the best dumplings family restaurant!!! We visited the place about 6 years ago and were super impressed with the food. That was the first time ever I've tried dumplings. In October we were in Toronto and decided to visit this place again. We are still impressed with deliciousness and quality of the food. We ordered several different dishes and they all have been made for us from scratch -- handmade dumplings are sooooo goooood!!!! If you are in town, make sure stop by that amazing family restaurant!!!!! read more

People love this place.But not so much for me. I don't like a sit down place that uses paper plates.

This place is a great hidden gem for dumplings in Chinatown area! Overshadowed by juicy dumplings in my opinion but they are really good authentic dumplings they serve here! Ordered the Fried Pork and Chive own fried and Xiao Long Bao. The former dumplings were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The wrapper held the fillings together same with the xiao long bao! Well made that the wrapper didn't break apart when being taken out from the steamer! The soup inside was really great too! Overall i like this place, highly recommend and will definitely come back to try other dumplings! read more

Legit no frills dumplings that will transport you to a small kitchen serving locally traditional cuisine. We had the fish dumplings, and my bite of the mutton fried pancake was phenomenal. I'll forgo the noodles we got to try another dumpling type instead, as there is an abundance of choices to choose from. I've been looking for a dumpling place in Toronto for years that compares to home made dumplings and have finally found my go to place. Thank you, truly yummy yummy. read more

This was a great place to have some soup dumplings! My friend really wanted some good soup dumplings and I was doing some research and came upon this place. It is a small place on the side of the block. We went during lunch time so it wasn't busy at all. The server was super nice and recommended us dumplings that was popular and worth the try. We ordered 5 of the juicy pork dumplings, stuffed pancakes, pork zha jiang noodles, a veggie dish, Rolled beef pancakes, and a pan fried pork with ji cali dumplings. The soup dumplings was super juicy and tasty. There was the right amount of juice in those dumplings. My friend who really wanted dumplings was super satisfied with it. The stuffed pork pancake was delicious especially with some chili oil. Spot on! The noodles was good but it can definitely use some more sauce. It was too little sauce so made the noodle kind of dry. The pan fried pork dumplings with ji cai was a recommendation from the server and we loved it! The taste was right on point! We would've ordered the boiled version if we weren't so full! The rolled beef pancakes was also very good according to my friends :). This spot will definitely be my to go to spot in Toronto for soup dumplings! It is inexpensive too! read more

it's pretty authentic but a bit pricey, price is10 dumplings ($13) and 5 pancakes ($14)

I was craving soup dumplings and this restaurant has such good reviews that I just had to come here. It's a tiny restaurant down some steps, so it might be hard at first to find if you don't know what you're looking for exactly. There isn't a ton of seats, so if it's busy, you might need to wait for a table. The restaurant itself could use a huge facelift. The washrooms were dirty and very small. The whole place just feels outdated - minus the tables and chairs. I came on a busy Saturday night but was seated fairly quickly. They cleaned my table before I was seated but the dish cloth they used to wipe the table was definitely used.. my table just smelled like a used dish cloth, sadly. There were also a TON of mosquitos. We were seated right in front the of door, so perhaps this could be why.. but the most odd thing is that they would just drop onto our table and food, and almost die or stop moving instantly. Not sure what was going on.. but it ruined my appetite. ONTO THE FOOD: the most important reason why I'm reviewing! We ordered the Juicy Pork Dumplings (soup dumplings), fried shrimp & pork dumplings, & chive pancakes. The soup dumplings were just okay. The filling wasn't as flavourful as other ones that I've tried from other places. It was missing something but I can't figure out what it is. The pancakes were really good, and I wish I ate more but they were dripping I grease, so I couldn't eat more than 2. I didn't have any of the fried dumplings but my boyfriend said they were very greasy as well. We actually had to go get a drink from a bar close by just to get rid of the greasy feel in our mouths. I honestly wouldn't come back here myself. A lot of other people gave this place high reviews so I'm not sure if I just had a bad experience or not. But the greasy food and mosquitos flying around or dropped dead in front of us wasn't acceptable. read more

By far the best juicy steamed dumpling place ever! The location is in a quiet unassuming corner in Chinatown and upon arrival, the servers were incredibly inviting and sweet. One of the best services we've received in Toronto. We got pan fried dumplings, zhajiang noodles and juicy steamed buns. Everything was absolutely delicious and I could not recommend this place more for its incredible service and delicious food! read more

Pretty good xiao long Bao - order steamed and pan fried. Both taste good with pan fried always has more fragrant. Personally I prefer the steam although my daughter will prefer pan fried. Price for the steamed is probably the lowest in the area. Will be better and authentic if they also serve with Chinese black vinegar or at least make it available (io. soy sauce). Will recommend this place especially for those willing to open up their culinary experience for trying Xiao long bao. read more

A Chinatown gem, but definitely bring cash in CDN if you can. I'm sure they will accept dollars, but you'll have to pay the 1:1 conversion. It's really tough to pay with a card. They have machines, but most debit cards even aren't accepted, especially if US based. ...The food, though! I had the soupy dumplings - D02 -- definitely the winner on the menu and one of the only places I know in Toronto with delightful soup dumplings. Each bite is comfortable heaven in your mouth. The pork bun / wrap deserves a mention as well. I think it's F20 and it's freaking amazing. Like a crepe rolled with beef. The F03 stuffed fresh veggies are AOK, definitely fresh and tasty...but the standout was F20 and D02. I had the Zha Jiang noodles too and the noodles were delightful along with the pork sauce - although the pork sauce is served cold while the noodles are lukewarm and it makes for a strange combo, but still delicious. If I were coming here again though, I'd order the D02 (maybe 2 orders even) and the pork wrap, which I think is F20. So good. Service can be awkward with a potential language barrier, but it works out and that's how you know the food is legit! read more
