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.
The food was good, definitely takes time for the soup dumplings to be prepared as they are made fresh so be sure to enjoy some appetizers while waiting.
Portions of the appetizers are small, which match the value of what they’re priced at.
The restaurant interior is fairly dated & the washrooms could definitely use some updating as it definitely does not look/smell sanitary at all.
The servers are not friendly or welcoming, one female server in particular. There was a young gentlemen trying hard to be efficient to make up for the lack of service from the other 2 ladies.
They serve pre-poured tap water - that tastes like metal mixed with chlorine…which sits by their cashier counter, until customers are seated then served that while they wait. One man went up to grab a second cup because he was done his first & wanted a refill but nobody came to refill it, so he helped himself & was yelled at by one of the lady servers telling him to put the 2nd cup back down & that she will refill his already used plastic cup with water from the metal jar. By then he had already touched the 2nd cup & walked half way back to his table already - it was really not necessary to make a scene of it, as well as probably not the most sanitary at all as well.
As decent as the dumplings are, the experience & sanitization of this type of environment is not worth it. I wouldn’t go back.
One of my favourite places for soup dumplings in Canada. I have been going since its opening years ago, & quality has not changed at all! Paper-thin dough, broth-filled dumplings are served in a bamboo steamer directly on your table. I always go for the classics (pork & cabbage, pork & chives) but the other options, especially anything lamb-based, are also worth a try. Vegetarian options are available & also tasty (egg & tofu-based.
I went around 2 pm on a weekend day, & even if lines were relatively short, the wait times for food once seated were very long (around 1-1h15 for steamed dumplings). There might be a staff shortage right now; still a wonderful place to grab a bite, but just be mindful of the wait times even when seated in case you’re on a schedule.
J'ai adoré. Même le côté un peu rustique de l'endroit, très simple & sobre, mais je ne m'attendais pas à autre chose. Restaurant visiblement tenu par la famille & les amis, les clients peuvent voir la fabrication des dumplings & autres plats servis sur place, à emporter ou à livrer! Leur dumplings au porc étaient délicieux, un peu de soupe à l'intérieur, vraiment authentique!!! Service presque exclusivement en anglais, ordinaire mais sympathique.
Je le recommande fortement pour les plats & leur prix imbattables (10mcx dumpling au porc = 6.99$+tx)!
Petit restaurant mais beaucoup de va & viens. Décoration très discrète, musique chinoise/anglaise & tables en bois comme si on est dans un village de la Chine. Une vitrine nous permet de voir les dumplings fraîchement enveloppés. C'est pourquoi il faut être patient avant de déguster. La serveuse nous présente ce qu'on a commandé. Je suis déçue que les 3 sortes de xiao long bao goûtent presque pareils. Chaque sorte comporte 10 mcx. Pour 3 personnes, je suggère 2 commandes de xiao long bao & une autre totalement différent pour ne pas se tanner. Leur xiao long bao est authentique & même beaucoup mieux de ce que sert ailleurs au dim sum car il y contient de la soupe!!!
Les meilleurs dumplings de Montréal .
Service sans sourire ni manière . Atmosphère déprimante . Pas un son de musique, éclairage au néon de la cuisine...vraiment les propriétaires devraient sortir un peu & voir ce qu'un Resto devrait être. Ils pourraient faire fortune avec un bon service amical & un décor & atmosphère plus chaleureux .
