I had pork dumplings 🥟 they were very good, the service was fast. Great location. I just felt a bit uncomfortable the tables are very close together the room to get in is very tight.

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.

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.

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!

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.
