Sammi & Soupe Dumpling is repeatedly described as a go-to spot for dumplings in Montreal, delivering hot, juicy xiao long bao and a wide range of fillings from pork and chives to beef curry and shrimp, with many praising the delicate wrappers and flavorful soups and noting that the menu also includes vegetarian options and tasty fried dumplings. The experience is marked by consistency and generous portions, affordable prices, and quick, attentive service, though crowds and lines are common and seating can be tight. Several reviews highlight the spectacle of dumplings being made in front of customers, adding to the appeal, while the casual, lively atmosphere ranges from downtown bustle to a cozy terrace, with some locations described as cramped or busy on weekends. Dishes like cucumber salad and seaweed salad are often recommended, and the dumplings are praised for being freshly made, well seasoned, and served piping hot. While service experiences vary slightly, the overall sentiment across visits centers on high quality, value, and reliability, making Sammi & Soupe Dumpling a standout option for comforting, artisanal dumplings in Montreal.
Overall, the xiulongbaos were juicy & savory, but only the pork-shrimp-scallop flavor left an impression on me. I particularly loved the cold noodles with peanut butter actually. The service team was nice. I really liked the cozy vibe of this eatery. Yet, the seating space was quite narrow, especially when we had winter jackets around.
Service here is a thing of mystery. The waiters & bus boys have no sense of what they need to do. One of them standing at the counter filling up 20 cups of water while there are 4 empty tables full of dirty dishes while there's a huge line up out the door. One other person is behind the counter pulling out soda cans, cashier is serving the same customer for over ten minutes. Meanwhile, there's a chili oil spill on the ground & easily 6 tables have yet to place orders. Mind blowing, honestly.
They're lucky the food is good but yeesh. C'mon, please have some integrity!
The Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) at Sammi are always a solid 10/10. I can never have too many. I particularly recommend the pork, shrimp, & scallop. Yum! I've been here countless times (at least 30). They have a new outdoor patio which is nice but the service was a little slow. The waiter started talking to his friend as I was halfway through my order. Nevermind. Go for the dumplings.
J'ai diner au sammi & soup pour la première fois hier.
Le service est excellent & rapide, le staff courtois & serviable.
Les dumplings sont vraiment trop bon & fait a la mains.
Je recommande absolument cette endroit.
First time eating here. It was difficult to find a day where there wasn't a line all the way onto the sidewalk. However, friday at 5pm, there was hardly anybody. The service is very nice & we got to enjoy seats on the terrasse.
Spicy & sour soup: the soup was watery, not spicy & the bowl was as big as my small asian hands. Definitely not worth it for 4$.
Steamed dumplings: The lamb & cilantro was so good. The broth was flavorful, the lamb wasn't stinky. The dough has just enough chew & isn't too thick. Perfect dough to filling ratio.
Pan-fried dumplings: it's my first time trying pan-fried, & although there was a crunch from the fried dough-water, there wasn't much browning under the actual dumpling. Also the crunchy part stuck to my teeth a bit. Idk if that's normal. The pork & cabbage filling is very basic & tastes basic. Which is good, but I think I had higher expectation. I think I would have liked the pan-fried dumpling more if had I chosen another filling.
I would totally recommend this place for their steamed dumplings. Easily the best steamed dumplings I've had Montreal, especially for a very reasonable price. The ones at Qing Hua are too thick in dough, in my opinion. The other dishes are not worth it. The one at Mont-royal has muuuuch better soup!
