Review Summary

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling is praised by reviewers for its juicy soup dumplings and handmade skins, with many calling them among the best in Montreal. A wide range of fillings is offered, including pork and chives, crab, lamb, beef, and vegetarian options, and diners often mix in chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and side dishes like cucumber salad and sesame noodles. The restaurant is described as affordable with generous portions, though it can be busy and small, leading to long lines and seating challenges that often necessitate visiting during off-peak times or making a reservation.

Sushi Japanese Asian Poke Bowl Hawaiian Vegetarian

Review Summary

Reviews of Sushi Sama depict a mix of high praise and practical flaws. Many reviewers celebrate fresh salmon, tasty dishes, and a welcoming, friendly staff, calling it a go to spot and even the best sushi in Montreal. However, others report uneven experiences such as too much salad and insufficient rice in a poke bowl, and in some cases a less inviting server. Value is frequently noted, with affordable pricing for sushi, yet several comments point to long or unpredictable wait times for takeout and a sense that service pace can be slow. Some feedback suggests the overall quality and freshness could be improved, making Sushi Sama a budget-friendly option with strong flavors and good options but with notable inconsistencies in portions, service, and speed.View restaurant profile

Ramen Japanese Fried Chicken Soups Vegan Options

Review Summary

Kazo Ramen is a small, cozy spot with a lively anime inspired decor that many reviews praise for creating a warm, welcoming vibe. Ramen options like creamy tonkotsu, yuzu ramen and spicy paitan are highlighted for rich broths, balanced flavors and satisfying portions, though a few bowls are noted as lighter or less flavorful. The service and atmosphere receive frequent praise for being fast, friendly and attentive, with staff described as nice and welcoming and the decor adding to the experience. Several reviewers call it among the best ramen in town, with strong broth and springy noodles, while others note the noodles can be overcooked or the broth not as deep as authentic Japanese ramen. The space is described as small and sometimes crowded at peak times, which can lead to waiting but also adds to a cozy, hole in the wall vibe. Overall the consensus points to a budget friendly, satisfying option for cold evenings and a place to try a variety of Japanese inspired bowls along with accompanying dishes.View restaurant profile
