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.
Great spot for a quick bite. The staff are extremely courteous, warm, & attentive. Service is consistently excellent, & the overall atmosphere makes the experience even better. Highly recommend.

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.

The food here is among the best of its kind we have ever had. Personally, I think the xiao long bao is more tasty than the potsticker. At meal time, this place is packed & with lots of people waiting for table. The servers are professional & efficient, which enabled the tables to be turn around quickly.
Amazing lunch spot in Montreal! We had the Juicy Pork & Coriander Dumplings, Beef Teriyaki Dumplings, & the Hot & Sour Cucumber starter, all super tasty & fresh. The beef teriyaki dumplings were our favourite. Service was excellent too; our waiter spoke English, French, Spanish, & Portuguese, & was incredibly friendly & helpful. Food came out quickly & everything was delicious
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.
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.

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
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.
