The dumplings are definitely delicious & flavorful but the portion sizes are small & quite overpriced for what you get. Don't come hungry, because you won't leave full.
The place itself is very small, & when it's full (which is often), it gets really loud, making it hard to chat or enjoy a relaxed meal. On top of that, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We patiently raised our hands for about 10 minutes before anyone noticed us, & even then, it took another 5 minutes for them to come back. We waited roughly 15 minutes or more just to get our water refilled, & about 20-35 minutes to get served.
Overall, it's a cute spot if you're in the mood for a quick, tasty treat.. but don't expect a full meal or attentive service.View more

A small lovely shop to pop in & grab a quick bite to eat.
By far the best dumplings I ever had! Definitely a must if in the area!!View more
Went there on Saturday around noon.
Resto is located along the busy street of Rue De la Gauchetière in Chinatown Montreal.
At first you'll never notice their resto since there are a lot of resto in the area with lots of appetizing banners showcasing their menus, what sets them apart is the looooong line of customers willing to wait & to be seated. We decided to give it a try luckily wait time is short.
Upon entering, no fancy decorations & everything is simple. Their menus only have dumplings & some appetizers.
We asked the server for their best seller & we ordered the classic juicy pork, spicy tofu & pizza dumpling as recommended.
Upon first bite of their dumpling, I finally understand why people are lining up. Dumpling was really delicious, can be compared to Din Fai Fung actually! I also like their' pizza twist' to usual dumpling, didnt know that cheese & dumpling combo is good (plus the crispy thing beneath the dumpling).
Resto is good for quick snack/lunch/dinner. Pretty straight forward kinda resto. Overall experience was great. Hope they can expand the variety of dumpling flavors that they offer.
Recommendation: there should always be someone manning the door/entrance to manage the line & avoid homeless from getting in
(we were approached by a homeless while eating on our table inside the resto - asking us for money, it was a bit scary. Good thing another server was fast to act & had the homeless leave)
Tip: if you dont want to wait for too long , go to their other branch at St Catherine as it has less crowd/line compared to this oneView more
Food is delicious, great for a quick & easy lunch break.View more
If you like dumplings served 20 different ways this is the place to go. 4 of us tried the soup - pork, shrimp & scallop dumplings, soup - chicken & mushroom dumplings, pan fried - pork & Chinese cabbage dumplings, pan fried - pork $ chive dumplings All dishes were around $15. Fresh handmade dumplings cooked to order. Very tasty & came with chilli sauce, soya & vinegar sauce for dipping. Super filling. The restaurant is in the heart of Montreal Chinatown & is very busy & crowded but the service is quick & tables turn over fast. A definite must try for dumpling lovers.View more
This place is so warm, quick service & great prices, really good dumplings!View more
Quick & delicious dumplings with offerings including peanut butter & coriander. The spicy pork soup dumplings are worth a try. Service suggestion: let diners know to go to the front counter when they're done instead of waiting on the check at the table.View more
The soup dumplings were outstanding! Quick service, too.View more
Had a short wait for table, but once seated & ordered was very quick. The spicy juicy pork soup dumplings are the cats pajamas & all the others I tried definitely returning every trip in Montreal.View more
Very quick service & very good food. No need to worry about cash as you can pay by card.View more
Amazing pan fried & steamed dumplings. Soup dumplings just like in China. If you can get a table enjoy the quick & attentive service - just be ready to be cozy with those sitting around you owing packed number of tables in small space. But well worth it!View more
This restaurant is located in Chinatown, easy to find & bustling with activity. We waited for about 10 minutes before getting a table, but the food was served quickly. We ordered two appetizers (cucumbers & seaweed salad), two baskets of soup dumplings, one order of pan-fried dumplings, & two bowls of soup. The soup was average, especially the hot & sour soup didn't impress, but I really enjoyed their soup dumplings & appetizers. There were many options for soup dumplings, & we ordered pork soup dumplings & chicken mushroom. We all agreed that the chicken mushroom was the most delicious, but the pork was great too. However, the pan-fried dumplings were too greasy, with a layer of oil at the bottom of the plate, but the lamb filling was very tasty. Overall, the food was decent, & the service was quick with the servers delivering the food promptly.View more

Stopped by for a quick bite in the afternoon. Classic pork dumplings were great, but I'll try something other than the fried beef/curry dumplings next time :)View more
I've been here many times in the past & the dumplings at Sammi are to die for ! Although it can get very busy & have long lines during the evenings, it's totally worth it. The service is very quick also.View more
