Overall: C // 3 stars Popular soup dumpling restaurant in Montreal with an abundance of classic and new flavors. You can have an extremely filling meal under 20CAD if you're willing to wait a bit as there is a queue both outside and for servicing. I found the appeal of this restaurant to be moreso in the flavors than the technique though. (Tom Yum XLB: B) - Impressive flavor profile that has a mild spice with a powerful cilantro note. Really love the uniqueness of this, even though it lacks soup and actual rememory of tom yum. These are double the price of the main series XLB though. (Scallop, Shrimp, Pork XLB: A) - Fantastic combination of filling with whole shrimp and scallop. Although, since it lacks much soup and the skin is quick thick, this is almost closer to a siu mai instead. Nevertheless, 10 pieces at 16CAD is a stellar deal here. (Curry Beef Potsticker: B) - Another unbeatable deal of 12CAD for 12 dumplings; the curry flavor works well for this type of dumpling, and I like the thickness of the connecting lattice. However, I found the beef to be overminced and quite dry. Food: E Presentation: E Price: +1 Atmosphere: -1 Service: E Menu: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats read more

We came here for lunch with friends, we heard they had soup dumplings. The place was very busy; which is a good sign. Ordered 3 different soup dumplings, that's 30 dumplings for four people. I think we overdid it, but they're really good and they're not heavy. The place is clean, the tables are wiped down after every customer, it's a little more upscale than some of the dim sum joints I've been to in the past. read more

Food is amazing. All of the soup dumplings are good but the juicy pork is fantastic! The fried dumplings are so juicy, it's almost like they have soup in them too. The peanut butter wontons are a must. It's always pretty busy but they are so efficient and food comes out quickly. read more

These were comparable to Din Tai Fung soup dumplings (but maybe their wrappers were a little less delicate?). We really liked the pork and chives, the shrimp and coriander xiao long baos tasted lighter, and the lamb and coriander soup dumplings were the heaviest but unique. We couldn't stop eating the hot and sour cucumbers, which were both sweet and sour and not too spicy. read more

I brought 2 friends to the Sammi on York St in Ottawa and the service was horrible. Plus 1 of my friends dumplings were horrible. They were overdone so no juice left in them. We had been there 4 times prior and always was impressed. Today was a total write off. Don't think we will be back read more

We ordered the juicy pork soup dumplings (very good), pan fried lamb and coriander dumplings (good), spicy cucumbers (great). Service was kind but a bit spotty - food runners brought our food to another table twice. Outdoor dining was nice. Chairs did look more comfortable inside in case that matters. read more

While I was on vacation with my fiancee-- we wanted to have some serious and tasty soup dumplings. We walked by the area day before and noticed this place was packed with locals. We decided to go next day, and waited approximately 35 minutes. While this place is small, but it was definitely somewhat loud and quite a delight of clean, friendly staffed, and incredible service. We tried the original pork, spicy pork, and the beef dumpling; along with the fried pork dumpling with chives. All of it was delicious!!! Yes it may been greasy, or oily; well, that was expected since its pork based soup dumpling-- I can see why others feel that ginger was a must-- but it wasn't mandatory must. Our faves was the spicy pork dumpling and the fried pork and chives. Seriously; so damn good!! Thank you for all your service that was provided. read more

Tasty Soup Dumpling restaurant in Ottawa, on a vibrant and busy street. There was a line out the door, but be patient as it moves along.

This is one of many dumpling shops located in Chinatown. It is very busy and this place is quite jam packed. Waited about 15-20 minutes and we were seated. Ordered their pan fried dumplings and Xiao long bao to share. The dumplings tasted A-OK but better with chili oil. Taste wise I'm sure there are other dumpling spots that are equally as good in the area or close by. I would come back if I'm near Chinatown but I don't think I'd go out of my way for these. read more

Montreal isn't know for their chinese food so it was refreshing to be able to go to Sammi & Soupe Dumpling and try their selections out. The venue itself is really beautiful, walking from the outside you get met with a waiting area and plenty of seating inside with exposure to the kitchen. The staff was incredible attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Food wise, the menu wasn't too large which made it easy to order. Overall I'd say the food went down well and wasn't too greasy. The food had good flavor and my only critique is that it was on the pricier side for the portions - we were still hungry after eating. We decided to get a mix of their signature dishes - pork soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and their spicy tofu. The spicy tofu was really cold and refreshing to start out with - it's basically cold tofu with lao gan ma chili oil. The dumplings were filling and the chili sauce is incredible, though I felt the dumplings were on the smaller side. Definitely a go to spot in Montreal's chinatown. read more

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling - Dumplings steamed and fried - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Having from NYC, where we have many places from great dumplings, these dumplings are very average. The juicy dumplings were not juicy, and the filling was not tasty. We ordered three kinds of juicy dumplings. I think the classic pork was the best. The lamb and cilantro was gamey, and if you do not like cilantro, don't order this. The worst of all was the pork pan fried dumplings. It might look fancy and authentic from the pan fried, but the pork filling was dry and tasteless. This part was very memorable. How bad it is!!! I couldn't have a second one. Packed it to go but ended up in the trash. The best part of our meal was the peanut butter noodles and spicy oil tiny dumplings. The peanut butter noodles were cold, so it's gave me the refreshing start, plus I like sesame flavor. The spicy oil dumplings were half a biter. Lol. The skin was the best part as it was very soft. I would skip this place if you are looking for good dumplings. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted the perfect Thanksgiving meal so why not come to have Xiao Long Dumplings :) This place definitely exceed our expectations!! Quality of Food: We ordered Classic Juicy Pork, Juicy Pork & Chives, and Shrimp & Coriander. We were use to Din Tai Fung size which are smaller dumplings so we were quite surprised when we saw how large the dumplings were. Our favorites were Juicy Pork & Chives and Shrimp & Coriander. I would recommend ordering two for a party of two. We ate almost all of them we only had 5 dumplings left. Wait Time & How to Pay: There was a short wait for two, about 15 minutes. When you arrive you let the host know how many and just stand in the lobby until you're directed to your table. When you are done eating you pay at the entrance. We only knew how to pay because we saw others pay when we arrived. The food was amazing and the service was okay! You can tell this spot is where the locals go because everyone knows what to do and how to order. If you're in the area this a MUST :) read more

There was a line for dinner at 6 pm but it moved rather quickly. We waited a bit for someone to come to our table but it was probably less than 10 minutes. Maybe 15 minutes for all our dumplings to come out. We got one order of (10) classic juicy pork xiao long bao, as well as one order each of (15) pork & chive and beef & curry pan-fried dumplings. We scarfed them down, like our fellow diners. This is the classic hole-in-the-wall vibe, but you don't come here for ambiance. It's all about the dumplings. My kid asked as we were eating, "Can we please come back?" There are too many places to eat in Montréal but this place is a contender for a repeat visit! read more

It is the Labour Day which is the last holiday before the school starts, we went to Montreal in a hot day (38 degrees Celsius) visited Biodôme and Botanical Garden. After, I felt that I need to have some soup dumplings, as a result, my wife and I landed in Sammi. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the Terrasse is very large and spacious. We ordered two famous soup dumplings, along with spicy toufu, wonton soup and cold noodle with peanut butter sauce. I was shocked that the cold noodle was using the spaghetti noodle. This is a restaurant not a community potluck, they should at least make their own needle, a noodle maker is sufficient for this size of restaurant. The soup dumpling is ok, but far from being perfect, the meat filling and the dumpling wrapper need some improvements particularly the pork filling in the soup dumpling is not tasty enough. I am not trying to be very critical here, in fact I would like to see restaurants like Sammi to stay so people in Montreal can have some really good authentic Chinese food. At last I recommend everyone who hasn't been there pleas give it a try, it is a very popular place people line up at the restaurant door waiting to be seated either inside or outside. read more

Came here on a Saturday around lunch time and got seated right away. My friend and I ordered Xiao Long Bao (classic juicy pork, 10 pcs), pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings (~16 pcs), and a side of hot and sour cucumbers. That was too much food for just two people as we managed to barely finish it all. They were all delicious except the cucumbers were just okay in my opinion. read more

I walked about 15 block for some amazing dumplings; the food is highly recommended. The service, unfortunately was very slow.

Saw lots of recommendations for this spot so we tried the classic juicy pork XLBs and pan fried pork and chive dumplings. The XLB did have a good amount of soup inside but the wrapping was too thick on top and ate like a thick piece of dough. The pan fried dumplings were fried nicely but the filling was very bland. It lacked seasoning nd the chives they used had almost no flavour. Also the chili oil has no flavour in terms of spice or other ingredients, just oil. Food is a 2.5 but bumping up to a 3* because service was good. read more

Issue #1) When you walk in and no one greets you, and after standing for awhile someone comes up and without saying a single word (literally not one!) leads you to a table, you realize customer service doesn't exist in this place. Issue #2) The "special" pizza dumplings are truly awful. The sauce has a strange fake/chemical taste that made this inedible (and something someone would have had to pay me to finish). Issue #3) The sauce on the peanut butter dumplings also felt off (not fresh, oddly flavored). Having lived/studied in Shanghai, I love me some xiao long bao, and I admit it wasn't awful here, but other than that, there wasn't much to like about eating here, and I wouldn't come again. read more

This place was delicious and a great place to stop by for lunch. My friends and I ordered the spicy cucumber, hot and sour soup, pork with coriander/ lamb XLBs, pork with cabbage/ chicken dumplings as well. The XLBs were freshly made and the meats with definitely juicy. We loved the lamb the most as it was seasoned well and packed a lot of flavor. Everything was being prepped in the kitchen and we saw the chefs making dumplings on the spot. Prices are reasonable and the size of the dumplings are average for what you pay. This restaurant was very clean. We noticed the staff carefully cleaning each table after diners left. Highly recommend this place if you want piping hot quality dumplings. read more

I wouldn't recommend dining here if you're in a rush. Although we were in a large group (10 girls here for a bachelorette), we felt like the wait time for our food was unreasonable (especially since we just ordered the same things, just in multiples to share amongst the group) and were surrounded by dirty tables that weren't being cleaned after patrons would leave. They also ran out of ice during the hot summer day and we were left to drink lukewarm water. We also ordered the a pitcher of the sangria that was advertised on a poster and they seemed to not understand how to make it, and we ended up with a weird mix of fruit juice and minimal alcohol. We had to ask for things multiple times. The soup dumplings themselves were above average. There was a good ratio of meat and dumpling dough and they came out hot. There was also vinegar, chilis, and soy sauce available on the table. We also ordered fried dumplings and those had a bit too much dough to it. read more

My favourite location when it comes to dumplings! I've been there many times now and it has never disappointed me. Service is always great and the dumplings are amazing for the price. There are freshly made per order. The steamed dumplings are perfectly juicy and the fried dumplings have a nice crisp on the bottom. They also have a lunch menu on weekdays from 11 am-3 pm. We took: Steamed 10 pcs - Pork and Coriander (9$)* Fried 15pcs - Pork and Cabbage (9$)* *Lunch prices Overall, a must location if you want great dumplings for a great price! read more

I've been meaning to visit this place ever since my friends started posting delicious dumpling pics on instagram from here. It did not disappoint. Went for lunch with my friend and we got the fried lamb and green onion and the steamed juicy pork,shrimp,scallop. This place makes the best steamed dumplings I've ever had. The fried I think I would go somewhere else because their lamb isn't very flavourful. But the steamed ones were perfect!! Next time I really want to try the juicy sweet pork ones. Seating is medium sized and my friend and I had no trouble getting a table right away and the service was very fast. She did mention they were friendlier than during the night time hours though. read more

Excellent dumplings. Worth the wait. Small menu. Been back many times. Kids love them

I was surprised by how much I adored the chinese food in Montreal as it was all no frills and usually consisted of dumplings. This place was quite close to our hotel so we dropped by for our lunch before heading to toronto. Since we already had brunch, we ordered their specialty being their soup dumplings! We got a juicy pork and leek (classic) as well as the chicken and mushroom lunch deals making the prices extremely reasonable! The chicken and mushroom was quite different as the texture of the mushroom gave it a little bit of a kick while the soup was less concentrated. The juicy pork was exactly that. Flavourful, juicy pork with plenty of soup that looked very flat but were actually just sogging with soup! Overall, delicious XLB for a great price! read more
