Sammi & Soupe Dumpling is widely praised for handmade dumplings with a thin skin and juicy, flavorful fillings, from classic pork and chive to lamb and shrimp, with many noting strong vegetarian and vegan options and a standout wonton soup. The menu feels crafted and comforting, with sauces like peanut sauce that many diners love and a variety of bowls and bao to suit different tastes. Dishes are described as fresh, flavorful, and well made, giving a homemade feel even in a fast service setting. The atmosphere is casual and bustling in Chinatown, with quick, friendly service that keeps lines moving and prices that are seen as a great value. While waiting times can be long during peak periods, the consensus is that the dumplings and soups justify the wait. Takeout and dine-in are both popular, with dine-in preferred for the full soup-dumpling experience.
Honestly, the first time I came here was Aug 2025, & I wasn't that wowed by this place. We visited Montreal last week & craved soup dumplings, so I thought to give it a try again.
Ughhhh the pan-fried dumplings were delicious, & the lamb coriander soup dumplings were addicting & just bursting with flavour. The pork/chive XLB were good too, but the lamb coriander XLB are definitely the stars of the show.
There was a mix-up with the pan-fried dumpling, as a server accidentally gave our curry & beef to another table, so our server was super apologetic & professional. He gave us options: to take their order of pork & chive, or they can immediately start a new order of the curry & beef. Since we wanted to try the curry & beef & already had pork & chive XLB incoming, we elected for the latter option & our server completely understood. They came out super quickly.
We came at a busy time, but we were lucky & able to be seated in less than 10 minutes.
I ordered the shrimp soup dumplings & was disappointed with the shrimp dumpling because there was no soup in them. It was very dry actually & no pieces of shrimp only a shrimp paste . The. Pastry looked perfect but when I bit into them they were dry & thick. I expect a place that specializes in soup dumplings to have exquisite dumpling pastry. When one orders soup dumplings one expects a huge squirt of soup broth which is the whole point of these morsels. I have had them in New York & also in Taiwan & Vietnamese & these did not meet any minimal level of expectation. I noticed a lady beside me ordered soup dumpling s & a side of broth which would have probably saved my meal but this should not be necessary. The table on the other side of me ordered the fried dumplings & they looked good I admit.
The place was busy & turnover very quick. Service was very quick & polite. The decor is average & was clean so I'll give it that. But I was soooo looking forward to yummy soup dumplings in Montreal & this was a fail.

I visited this dumpling spot & had to wait about 25 minutes to get seated, which was a bit long but expected since it was busy. After sitting down, it took another 10 minutes to receive our first dish, the sammi, which was tasty but I wish it came sooner. We ordered dumplings #13, #18, #20, & #25-all were solid, but #18 was the standout! The lamb filling was incredibly juicy & flavorful, making it my favorite. The service was okay-nothing exceptional, but the staff was polite. The environment is simple & no-frills, focusing more on the food than ambiance. Overall, a good spot for dumplings, especially if you're patient!
Wow! Sammi & Soupe Dumpling is a hidden gem in Montreal's Chinatown. The dumplings are handmade & absolutely delicious - juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. 🥢 I especially recommend the pork & shrimp soup dumplings - they burst with flavor & warmth.
The ambiance is casual but cozy, & service is quick even when it's busy (which it usually is - & for good reason). Definitely a must-try spot if you love authentic dumplings & Asian comfort food. 🍜
Tip: go early or be ready to wait - it's worth it.

I got the classic Pork soup dumplings, & they were amazing. I wish I could've eaten two of them because I really wanted to try the pork & chive ones too. They were very busy with a line out the door, but we were quickly seated & served dinner.
I can't even count how many times I have been here.
Very quick service, amazing food, good price & clean place.
The dumplings are fantastic.
They are open late. Gets very busy!
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 one
Delicious Xiao Long Bao. Tried every flavour & all were good but the best were the classic & the lamb. Gets very busy & is a small shop so be prepared to wait but it is worth it.
This restaurant appears to be quite busy, but we were lucky to have a table ready for us. There were many students dining, & one particularly loud group made the experience somewhat unpleasant. However, the food was delicious, & the dishes were served promptly.
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.
Brilliant find, authentic Chinese food, well recommended. Although the service was excellent throughout, it was just let down at the very end - as soon as we finished the last dumping they were trying to get us out to allow other customers in - i do understand as we also appreciated it when we got our table - but come on guys let us finish our drinks & allow us a few mins. Also, as soon as we tapped the card for payment it was if you suddenly didn't exist - tried to say thanks & goodbye & the guy literally ignored me & was talking over me to other customers - will put it down to being really busy but must be better than that. Great food though & would return.
Really liked the porc , taste really good Don't miss the cucumber appetizer I only believe they need more waitresses on busy days (they are very polite & respectful).
