Another spot popped up on my radar while I was there and it is Montreal's famous Chinese dumpling restaurant. Since it was still freezing outside, I decided to have DoorDash deliver it to my room. The food arrived piping hot and still steaming, which felt pretty impressive considering it was about -120°F outside and was cold enough that even pure ethanol was turning into a slushie. :-) I ordered the soup dumplings, peanut butter noodles, peanut butter wontons, and wonton soup. Everything was delicious and, unlike a lot of Chinese takeout, it wasn't overloaded with MSG. The dishes had real flavor, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great everything tasted. Overall, I was very pleased with the meal and would definitely come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling - Soup, dumplings, peanut butter, noodles, peanut butter, wontons, and wonton soup - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

3.5/5, +.5 for service This is the Sammi and Soupe branch in Chinatown Montreal. I've made it a habit of travelling to Quebec almost every Christmas with my parents, as it's only a 5 hour drive from Markham, but we ran late this time and this was the only place open past 9pm. The menu here is predominantly dumplings, which for a cold winter day I don't mind at all. For us 3 we had the juicy pork and snow crab, shrimp tom yum, and lamb and coriander xiao long baos. All were excellent for a Christmas Day meal where very few places are open. We also had the beef teriyaki xiao long bao, which unfortunately was not as good as the others. Service was excellent here. Not the best xiao long bao I've ever had, but for a place that's open 365 days a year, I can be assured that I can have quality food on Christmas Day. read more

I want to like this place but the truth is, everything is just fair. The appetizers are small. The premium steam dumplings is 15$ for 5 pcs and really they are nothing special. If you do go stick to the regular steam dumplings and pan dried dumplings, skip the apps and premium stuff. read more

The pros of this place are clean restrooms, clean dining area, fast service, and cheap menu. The cons are that the food lacked flavor and it was more oily than necessary. We got the cold noodles (they were out of cucumbers at lunch time) and the fried dumplings. The cold peanut noodles were okay. They were missing something, hard to say what exactly, but the flavor wasn't there. The fried dumplings lacked flavor. They weren't bad, but weren't good. There was a yellow tint to them and the oil sitting at the bottom of the plate was a little more than necessary. Overall, the service was good, but theres better food in the area. read more

The xiao long baos are a must!! They're extremely juicy which I did not expect. The servers are super friendly too and we got our food in less than 15 minutes which is surprising since when we went it was really crowded. Also right when you step in the friendly people and smell of dumplings hit you right in the face which is so amazing and reminds me of my trip to china!! read more

This soup dumpling (xiao long bao, XLB) restaurant sells just that.. I was expecting to see other dumplings or noodles on the menu. I was also disappointed to see few Chinese patrons. On my way out, there was a couple getting take out. I got #11 pork XLB and #18 lamb and coriander. Pork was meh. Lamb was better. I asked the server for ginger, and they said they don't have it! Very surprised. I also got the fried dumplings. They're only good because they're fried. I would not come back. Oh, almost forgot the thing that made me puke in my mouth. This cockroach appeared on the wall next to my table!! That means there is an infestation somewhere nearby. read more

Wonton soup and all soup dumplings piping hot and good. Quick service. Very nice. Booths are good for kids.

definitely hit the spot when we wanted to have some dumplings after a long drive. Very authentic and close to what we get in NY. Service was good and welcoming. Everyone spoke English. The ambiance is good for small groups and date nights. read more

6/3/25 - quick service, in an extremely busy restaurant in Chinatown. It must be authentic and good or it wouldn't have the clientele it has. The soup dumplings are very full of meat and broth. Brought to the table in traditional bamboo steamers. There's 10 fairly large dumplings in each steamer basket. Tried the seaweed salad and pickled cucumbers. On the table is a diagram on how to eat them. The server is very pleasant and patient. The place is clean, you can observe the cooks in the kitchen preparing the various dumplings and dim sum. The tables are sanitized after each customer is finished. The restaurant runs smoothly. They appear to be a small chain of dim sum restaurants; there's a couple other parts of Montreal, I was told. read more

This dumpling restaurant in Chinatown, Montreal, serves delicious dumplings and a variety of Chinese dishes. While the menu isn't extensive, it offers enough options to satisfy most cravings. The service is prompt, and the restaurant has a limited number of indoor tables, which may be a bit of a drawback considering its popularity. However, the waiting time is not too long. read more

We came for an early dinner and beat the crowds (started filling up around 630 on a weekend). Doing my research this place calmly high recommended with multiple locations all over the city. I loved the peanut noodles and the shrimp dumplings with peanut sauce for appetizers. I'm typically a hugggge fan of soup dumplings but for some reason these missed for me. The vegetarian ones we ordered were just very off putting texture wise (tofu was ground up and flavorless) and the shrimp ones were tasty but had no real broth inside. We did find the prices reasonable but just wasn't as blown away. With lots of chili oil and soy the were easier to finish. With lots of dumpling places nearby, I'm not sure I'd come back unfortunately read more

Delicious! Dumpling were flavorful and cooked to perfection. The cucumbers were so good that we ordered a second dish. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. read more

I have never had, nor heard of, a soup filled dumpling, so ordering it and trying it was a new experience. The young man who took my order helped me decide on a suitable dumpling and his suggestion was the best. One bite through the tender dumpling and a flood of brothy soup, with a hint of ginger, warms your mouth. A burst of deliciousness in an instant. It is a small restaurant but it is very inviting. I was not rushed to leave, which I greatly appreciated. Their lunch specials make giving this restaurant a try. This place is worth the trip. read more

This place has a long line for a reason. Best soup dumplings I've ever had. So much so that during our trip in Montreal, we went again just two days after we first tried it. The dumplings are pretty huge (especially if you compare it to Din Tai Fung, which is popular in the US. However, I like this place's dumplings MORE than Din Tai Fung). We ordered the pork dumplings and chicken with mushroom dumplings. It's extra good with chilli oil which they have on the tables. Highly recommend. read more

I thought the dumplings here were okay. I had their chicken and cabbage pan fried dumplings. The pros of this place was that that the food was pretty cheap and reasonable priced and they also have dumpling options for those who might have eating restrictions including vegetarian dumplings. However, service was a bit slow when I went in and there wasn't a huge customer base and I found the food to be edible and a meal that can be good for sustenance, but nothing that really left an impact. read more

While in Montreal. We went looking for Chinatown, we were looking for restaurant that had wet dumplings. We found it, and It was crowded we had to wait for sitting, once we were sitting, we placed our order we did two different orders.. One of pork and chives. The other shrimp. Both dumplings had broth in the inside, which you slightly open up releasing the heat of the broth, and then putting it in your mouth. So good I never had anything like that before read more

If you love a variety of pan fried, steamed, or soup dumplings - this is the place to try! Small and popular spot along Rue de La Gauchetière O. We tried the shrimp, classic pork, and lamb with cilantro dumplings. Also ordered the pan fried chicken dumplings and cold peanut noodles (add chili for the extra kick). They were all tasty although a bit different in flavors than the classic dumplings we were used to in Boston. 3.5/5 read more

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling - From upper right clockwise:Shrimp, Lamb and cilantro, and Classic pork soup dumplings. Cold noodles with peanut sauce - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Really solid spot for dumplings in Chinatown. I got the spicy juicy pork soup dumplings and the pan-fried pork and chive dumplings. The soup dumplings were decent--probably a 7/10 on their own, but way better once I added vinegar and chili oil. The broth was flavorful, but the wrapper was a little thick for me. The pan-fried dumplings were definitely the highlight. They had that crisp, golden crust from the flour on the bottom, and the pork and chive filling was super flavorful. I'd give those an 8.5/10 easily. Prices were really affordable, and everything came out hot and fresh. I'd definitely recommend it, especially for a quick, satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Great service with little to no frills. read more

Restaurant was packed but the line moved quickly. Each dumpling order came with 10 pieces. The tofu was a bit odd - tasted sweet but had chili topping. I'd skip on the tofu but the dumplings were delicious especially on a cold rainy day! read more

I ordered 2 trays of dumplings, yes, all for one... They were good (pork & shrimp and pork)! The waitresses were friendly and attentive. One was impressed by the amount I ate. I was hungry! But towards the end, I had to force myself to eat the last one . So if you're an average sized woman, unless you're REALLY hungry or have companion, one tray is enough . Note, there's not a lot of space between tables. I had to move my table for people to get in and out. If you're not petite, better sit on the outside end. read more

Came to Sammi & Soupe Dumpling and really enjoyed the dumplings! The dumpling wrappers for both were fresh, not too thick, and tender. The pan fry was also to a perfect golden brown and had a really nice lattice for presentation. On the table, there is soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili crunch in oil. We asked for ginger but our waitress let us know they don't do ginger....oof. For accompanying appetizers, we went with the marinated cucumbers and the peanut noodles. To be honest, neither impressed. The cucumbers only had chili oil and since they were just quartered and not crushed, it didn't really let the flavor soak in. The peanut noodles used....spaghetti? The sauce didn't really stick to the noodles or at least didn't provide the right chewiness that Asian wheat noodles do. So all in all, I definitely recommend coming for the dumplings, but I also suggest that's all you stick with. read more

TIL that Sammi & Soupe Dumpling is not a mom-and-pop restaurant but a chain in Montreal. We had asked the next-door Dragon's Beard Candy shop staff which restaurant they recommended, and they pointed to this dumpling shop, so we wholeheartedly trusted their recommendation thinking we should support a local small business. Also, there was a slight wait for a table, so we thought it couldn't be that bad. Maybe New Yorkers have better soup dumpling restaurants in the city so we have higher standards, but my whole party thought the food was mid. At first, we were excited when we saw interesting flavored menu items that weren't soup dumplings. Like the pan-fried beef and curry dumplings, but it was really nothing to write home about. One cool thing about the soup dumplings is one bamboo basket comes with 10 pieces! I've never seen that before, so this basket was huggeee. There is one dish that I highly don't recommend: the peanut butter dumplings. We did not like this appetizer at all and were pretty happy that it only came with a few pieces. The sauce was way too runny and would've probably tasted better thicker. read more

This was probably our most economical meal in Montréal. We had the Pork Classique soup dumplings and the shrimp fried dumplings. Big portions. I preferred the fried ones. I thought the soup in the soup dumplings lacked any real flavor. Although they do have a re/orange sauce to add to your bowl with soy sauce. It got very noisy. Not sure why. There weren't parties larger than 4 (seating for large parties is probably difficult based on their seating configurations.) All in all, it was "good enough" for the price and experience. read more

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling - Classique Pork soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Restaurant was extremely busy but we made a reservation, so we didn't have to wait for a seat. I appreciate how they prioritized the reservations despite us making it last minute. The building interior is small, tight, and crowded. When ordering, the menu has pics that allow u to see what each food item looks like, which I really like. The appetizers (soups) came almost immediately. The main courses, or dumplings were all flavorful and satisfying. My party of 6 all enjoyed the food. Overall, workers are friendly and the food was delicious. I recommend making reservations tho read more

Our favorite dumplings in Montreal. Whether takeout or dine-in, they are consistently tasty at a reasonable cost, great value for money! We typically order 2-3 dishes for 2 people. Love that they are using meats without antibiotics, and the variety of options on the menu. All time favorite remains the sweet pork soup dumpling! If possible try to grab a table away from the door as it gets extra chilly. read more

This place is NOT authentic Chinese soup dumpling restaurant. If you went to other soup dumpling on other places and which has no ginger provided with soup dumpling. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE HAS NO GINGER. We ordered hot & sour soup, spicy cucumber, beef curry pan fried dumpling, Tom yum soup dumpling, Hot & sour soup is so blended and no flavor at all. Spicy cucumber is so watery and I think it kept in the refrigerator for long time. Beef curry pan fried dumpling and Tim Yum dumpling are the weird flavors I ever tried, it didn't taste like it at all. I love curry and tom yum flavor but not taste the way at all. read more

How do you stay right next to Chinatown and not experience a place that specializes in dumplings? I am a novice when it comes to ordering asian cuisine, no matter the type. The server was friendly and helpful when ordering...I definitely wanted to try both the steamed and fried versions but I can't eat full orders of both, so I ordered a half order of one and a half order of the other... they charged an uncharge of $1 for EACH half order because they were half orders (2 halves do not make a whole....they are prepared differently, so I sorta get it) I had a half of steamed chicken and mushroom and half of fried beef and curry. I think I made the right choices. And I could add the right amount of spice that I wanted. It was all very good! read more

This location has quickly become a favourite of mine! The staff is friendly and very quick and efficient. The soup dumplings are very fresh and always warm. There is often a line but it goes by quick and I find the seating arrangement a bit more comfortable than the Concordia location. If you can, opt to go to this location! They even have actual cups and chopsticks (the Concordia location now only does wooden chopsticks and styrofoam cups due to the volume of clients) read more

Sammi & Soupe Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We stopped by Sammi & Soupe because of the rave reviews for their xiao long bao. But we were overall disappointed. We ordered the spicy tofu and the hot and sour soup to start, which were both very good! However we ordered one of the xiao long bao, the classic and then the steamed veggie dumplings, which were not the xiao long bao kind. When we received the order, the server gave us the steamed veggie dumplings first, grave mistake! We should've eaten the xiao long bao first! Not the other way around. Because once we finished the dumplings, we started on the xiao long bao, the skin was completely sticking to the paper, there were barely any juice left inside. Overall absolutely horrible! It was not even good. On top of it, they only give vinegar and no ginger slices inside. I am accustomed to having vinegar with ginger with my xiao long bao. Overall, sad experience, definitely does not compare to the xiao long baos in other places I have tried. read more

After having so many soup dumplings from different places, I tried to be as fair as I could with this one. First it's small and in heart of Chinatown where there will always be a line. Second the service is mediocre and we were placed in an uncomfortable seating setting right next to the time where everyone is like hovering over you. The staff is also not attentive and coming to check on us. The food wasn't bad with different flavors of pan fried dumplings and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings lack soup . It's small - that's cute but needs a little more filling . The pan fried dumplings were great - juicy and delicious. The cucumbers and peanut noodles were overloaded with msg. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a cold and rainy day. We ordered pork soup dumplings, fried pork dumplings, a cucumber salad and a peanut noodle. The soup dumplings were average. It lacked flavor and the "soupy" profile I was looking for. I was expecting to bite into it and burn my mouth from the juices but it really lacked that experience. The fried dumplings were delicious and super crunchy. It's a must order! The cucumber salad was refreshing and the peanut noodle was the perfect addition to carb up and sum up our lunch. The ambiance was fast casual and it's first come first serve. There was this very cute and accommodating girl at the front. Great service overall. This New Yorker will be back! read more

Supposedly the best soup dumplings in montreal. I tried alot of dumplings and they were the best here. Unfortunately, edmonton makes them better. I do however love the great prices and for just under $15 you get a choice of 10 dumplings!!! They do half and half if u want to try multiple orders. This place is small so it's limited seating and it's always busy. They do takeout which takes about 20 minutes after ordering with Utensils and all. I loved the dumplings. The steamed ones were the best. Must try in montreal. But if you ever are in edmonton. Baobao is alot better. read more

I stopped by Sammi & Soupe around 7pm on a Monday night and there was already a line going. It's incredibly busy, but the service was exceptional from the moment you're lined up to the moment you're paying the bill and leaving. The restaurant seats a decent amount of people and is comfortable and clean. And of course the food is excellent. The peanut sauce is so good and I'd 100% recommend. An order of soup dumplings come in 10 or 15 for pan fried, so the value is insane for the price. read more

Service was ok, but as a vegetarian I have never had the chance to try a soup dumpling because everywhere I go, there are no vegetarian options for them.

Great location, very cute and fun presentation of the food. read more

I wish this place existed in Boston, it's so good! I loved the spicy juicy pork dumplings the most - they were SO good. We walked in for a table and were seated probably within about 15-20 minutes. The dumplings came pretty quickly but they were devoured even faster. The only complaint I have is that their menus are weirdly worn out and some of them you can't even fully read, but honestly that's a fairly minor complaint overall. I'll be missing this place when I next want soup dumplings and the nearest Sammi's location is a 6 hour drive. read more
