Sammi & Soup Dumpling is the unofficial go-to for Concordia’s student crowd, offering steaming baskets of xiao long bao that feel like a warm hug for your wallet and your taste buds. Specializing in soup dumplings with delicate, Southern China-inspired dough, this spot delivers plump morsels filled with savoury broth and tender meat. The sweet and juicy pork dumplings are a fan favourite, while the fried seafood options add variety to the menu.

Though the decor is modest, the energy is lively, and the open kitchen turns dumpling-making into a show. It’s an easy choice for budget-conscious diners who still crave quality. Whether it’s lunch, a late-night bite, or a dumpling feast with friends, be prepared for a bit of a wait—it’s a testament to the hype.
