The whole experience was fantastic. Food was soooo yummy. The owner is super nice.he a d his family enjoys seeing more patrons coming to the restaurant. I need another dumpling just thinking about it. read more

The food was excellent! I'd knock off a half-star, if possible, for it not being a great place to dine (plastic cutlery shaky small tables, no alcohol) but that's being very picky-- they don't pretend to be fine dining. So the dumplings we had (angry, chicken) were just divine, and a great spice level (moderate). The masaman curry was very tasty-- loved the veggies in it as well as the shrimp. The buns were ok, but as the very amiable owner pointed out, the angry dumplings provide plenty of sauce that can be used for a 'bun dip.' Some of the best Asian food I've had in a while. Service and speed were excellent, also. read more

This one has been bookmarked for a while now as a place to try if near downtown. It does not disappoint. In short, they offer dumplings (or dim sum) items and assorted Asian entrees. The "angry" descriptor comes from some of their dumplings being spicy. But, not all of them are spicy. Either way, this is a unique spot. I found the flavors to be delicious -- particularly the angry dumplings with chicken curry. Wow. That's one that you think about for days after eating it. So good. I also really liked the mushroom rice, grandpas beef noodle, and the red bean Bao. Boba tea was well done too. Only downside is I'm so full that I am drifting into a food coma now! Overall: If you like Asian food, boba, and dim sum, this is a great option. I will definitely be back. read more

Wow, this place is off the charts. I am addicted to the Angry Pork Dumplings. Everything we had chicken, pork, and curry dumplings, Grandpas Noodles, BBQ filled rolls were all amazing. We even tried the sesame cucumber, so good. Cannot recommend this place more, the best food we have had since moving to Knoxville 6 years ago. read more

Amazing food! Grandpa's noodles were delicious and a must get every time. The dumplings are scrumptious and are meant to be "Angry" styled in order to enjoy the true spicy taste of the meal. The steamed Pork Bao was an additional surprise snack to be enjoyed. We'll be back VERY soon. Parking is in short supply so get there before you have to pay for it. Glad a second location was created on Kingston Pike! read more

Thanks to Yelp. We found your awesome restaurant! My daughter and I decided to make a bunch of choices and split everything. Food was delicious and good service. read more

Angry dumplings is a hidden gem in Knoxville. The owner Jason is a genuine person who puts lots of effort to the food. My wife and I come here for their Grandpa Noodle. The soup and the tenderness of the beef slices are perfect. It takes time to make meat this tender. So you can tell that they put their time in to provide quality food for the customers. I had the dumplings in the past as well and they are all tasty. Overall, if you are interested in trying some nice Asian style beef noodle, I highly recommend this place. Per the owner, they will open another restaurant in west Knoxville in July timeframe. So we can't wait to try it out when it is opened. read more

Angry Dumplings Tea - Grandpa Noodle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Had to try a little bit of everything this time at Angry Dumping--ordered Grandpa's Noodles, 2 BBQ pork Bao, 1 Trad Bao, Angry Chicken Dumplings, and a Thai Milk Tea with Boba. Reasonable pricing for this spread. Impressed with the flavor profiles, particularly the dumplings (if you like spicy!) Bao were par for the course, although I tend to usually have this reaction to Bao buns. Milk tea was perfect sweetness, few boba were too tough for my liking, although good overall. Great portioning on the noodles, enough to split between two with the added sides. Very happy with Angry Dumpling's service; cashier answered all our questions and made honest recommendations. I'd come back if you're looking for some chill-vibed Asian cuisine in Knoxville. Glad to know they're opening a second store! read more

Love this place! Great service, wonderful food. The Angry Dumplings with the house Chili sauce is a must. The Grandpa's noodles is delicious but I think the Spring Onion noodles steal the show.

We came here in the afternoon on a Sunday and were surprised how popular this place was. The beef noodle soup was authentic and delicious and the chili oil really topped it off. I also ordered a side of their famous angry dumplings, which was an Asian fusion take of steamed dumplings topped with spicy dressing and chili oil. I'd definitely recommend this place and can see why their ratings and reviews are all so good. Five stars all the way! read more

This was a solid 3 star experience across the board. We tried the angry dumplings, the garlic noodles, and the massaman curry. All were good but came across a little one-note in flavor. The interior furniture is odd...there are several different kinds of tables and chairs mixed together. We sat at a folding table with plastic folding chairs. I would prefer something a little nicer for dining in. read more

Always great food, great service and comfortable ambiance. Always 5 stars! Try the Sakura Matcha rose foam drink you won't be sorry! read more

The dumplings at Angry Dumplings Tea were the highlight of our visit. We tried a few different varieties to share, and the fillings were flavorful while the wrappers had a nice tender texture. The dipping sauces added a good extra kick, and we paired everything with a refreshing milk tea. It was a fun combination of savory dumplings and a sweet drink, and we left feeling pleasantly full. read more

Angry Dumplings is a phenomenal flavor experience! This was the best food I ate on a recent trip to Knoxville. I visited for lunch and started with a Chai Tea which was milky, cold and sweet. I of course had to have an order of Angry Pork Dumplings. If you must order one thing from the menu, these dumplings are it! They are massive and addictive. Savory and lightly chewy dumplings are filled with super tender and flavorful pork and topped with a flavorful spicy chili sauce, a creamy aioli and some crispy bits. My mouth is watering thinking about these dumplings. I also had the Grandpas Noodles. This phenomenal noodle dish had thick savory noodles swimming in a rich flavorful beefy broth mixed with super tender sliced beef, crisp bok choy and a large dumpling. Finally, I also tried the BBQ Pork Bun and Traditional Pork Bun. Both were doughy and filled with marinated tender pork. Overall, this is the type of place you go out of your way for just to eat lunch. A must visit! read more

Lovely! Greeted with a soft smile, this gentleman was patient with the 3 of us for lunch. Small shop PACKED with flavor! Red curry, garlic parmesean, grandpa's noodles, and of course the dumplings! Attendees: bring on the heat!, I wanna soup and dumplings no heat and I-don't-know-what-I-am-doing-here.The menu accommodated all of us! My only suggestion... diet coke served in a can, let's get that in a cup please. read more

This new place is great. Food is fresh. Everything is new. Service was excellent for just opening the day before.

What a great place to eat! Amazing curry, nice and think dumplings. Actual pot sticker full of meat. The taste is amazing, you'll love it! Grab a passion fruit slushy, thank me later! read more

Pretty good. Nice portions, very filling. I'm Not a big fan of coconut milk or something that's sweet in there. $20 for lunch is a bit pricey read more

Service was friendly and helpful and the food was excellent!

Everything was great, but our favorites were the angry pork dumplings, cucumbers, and grandpa noodles! Will definitely be back. read more

Normally we love this place but last night not so much. The atmosphere really triggered my tism last night. So many young kids, and that is not usually a problem for me, but I literally had to tell them I need to get past you because simply saying 'excuse me' wasn't working. The tables outside next to our parking place were so close and the folks sitting there eating acted like it was a problem when the driver of my car wanted to get in. So maybe move those tables a little further away so it's not an inconvenience for people eating and people trying to leave. The food was not as good as usual. Maybe it was because they were so busy but the pork bun was really just a bun. The amount of pork inside the bun was minimal, I am guessing less than a teaspoon. The house sauce on the counter I got for my pork dumplings was so salty that it was hard to eat them. The dumplings by themselves were phenomenal as usual but it was the sauce that was the issue. I am sure we will be back to get drinks to go but probably will not eat there again unless it happens to not be busy. read more

Angry Dumplings in Knoxville is an absolute must-visit -- hands down one of the best restaurants in town. The flavor profiles are incredible and wildly addictive. The Grandpa Noodles hit with deep, soulful richness. The Red Thai Curry explodes with perfect heat and balance. Their Angry Pork & Veggies Dumplings are pure perfection -- juicy, savory, and packed with bold flavor. The Chinese Cucumber dish is crisp, refreshing, and masterfully seasoned. Every bite screams attention to detail and authentic passion. Jason + Vanessa and their incredible team are killing it. If you love real, handmade dumplings and bold Asian flavors, stop everything and go now. Angry Dumplings delivers an unforgettable experience. Context - We live in Nashville. We hit this spot every time we're traveling back from visiting family in Asheville, NC. Knoxville has always been good to us in terms of food. Angry dumplings adds a dynamic to the food scene that hits a special spot. Enjoy! read more

The food is absolutely AMAZING!! Prices are great, and the portions leave you stuffed! Definitely one of my wife's and I favorite spots!

My friends and I stopped into Angry Dumplings while we were in town. It was the perfect meal for a cold day. We ordered several orders of the dumplings, both angry and regular. Both were generously filled and seasoned! You can tell they make the dumplings with care. My husband and I ordered the Thai curry and it was the perfect blend of spice and cream. It was even better the second day as leftovers! My friends also raved about their choices, the bbq buns were quickly eaten as well as the kimchi dumpling soup. When we return to Knoxville, this place will definitely be a staple. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is incredibly friendly, and if it's your first visit, let them know. They'll walk you through the menu, explain how everything works, and make recommendations based on what you like. It never felt rushed or scripted. They also take food allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. We were asked multiple times about allergies, and there were plenty of vegetarian options available. The food came out hot and quickly. I had the Grandpa's Noodles - absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the Garlic Parm Noodles with chicken and loved them. Our youngest started with an order of plain dumplings, ate three in record time, and immediately asked for more. That's about as glowing of a review as you'll get from a kid. We also tried the Pork Angry Dumplings, and my only regret was not ordering them as my meal. I almost passed because I was worried they'd be too spicy (I'm a certified spice lightweight), but they were fantastic. Just enough kick without sending me into a panic. If you're someone who likes serious heat, they've got plenty of "melt your face off" add-ons to keep you happy. Both of my daughters got boba drinks. They're not really my thing, but the girls loved them so much they took the last few swigs home. Overall, this place was a home run. Great food, great service, and a family-friendly atmosphere. If you're in South Knox, do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

I am so happy to be working within an earshot of this amazing little spot!! With quality ingredients, fun people who know how to hustle and take an order and deal with a lunch rush; what's not to love!!! They are popular so & get a crowd. The portions are high-quality and you feel the love into every morsel. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner out front and he was a really down to earth, approachable and knowledgeable about food, I am home but looking forward to another lunch already! read more

Walking in, this place felt very comfy, inviting and the smell... was... INcredible. My girlfriend and I are on the way back home to VA from TN from visiting and man are we glad we found this place. We ended up, like we always do, especially with places we get that "IT" vibe from... ordering several things on the menu for us to share. We ordered the Wonton Soup w/ chili oil, the Angry Pork Dumplings, the Angry Curry Dumplings, Traditional Bao Bun, with 2 BBQ Bao Buns. Everything felt made with so much care and love. The ingredients were so fresh, the flavors were RICH and Infused and the textures were CLUTCH. Every single dish here was hit OUT of the park. Which is why I'm not going into detail about them specifically. You will just have to try them for yourself! My girlfriend being Vietnamese, she was skeptical at first (No Offense! - most places downplay their Asian flavors due to catering to the local demographic) because of the staff not being Asian on whether it would have been good or not. But the owner, Jason, ended up coming out to check on us and we thought to ourselves... THIS... is why the food is so amazing. The authenticity and richness shines through on this gem of a spot! Jason the owner, came out to replace an order of Bao buns that weren't quite as they should have been. Upon apologizing he also gave us a free order of Angry Pork Dumplings and Sesame Pickled Cucumbers on the house. Not only did he rectify the situation, he was extremely apologetic and went above and beyond. He sat and talked to us briefly and told us that he wants to put out the utmost quality and flavors that were reminiscent of his childhood. Man, I WANT THAT childhood. Still as I sit here writing this review stuffed, thinking about the food my mouth is still watering. When something is that good you want to just keep eating it, you know you have stumbled upon something you don't find just anywhere. From the food, to the cleanliness and ambiance, to the service. Everything was beautiful. Us being from California and having so many great options to choose from, this hits home. Going to this place every time we make the 10 hour trip back to TN makes the trip that much more bearable! Thank you to Jason and the team here at Angry Dumplings. You guys blew it out of the water and we are nothing but FULL and grateful to have found you guys! Keep it up! read more

We went at 11:00am not knowing that the restaurant opens at 12 pm on Friday. They let us in early. The food was excellent. We tried pork and angry pork dumplings, green onion noodle, pork buns and masaman curry. The dumplings are bigger than what I am familiar with. The dumpling skin is thin and easy to eat. They were tasty. The green onion noodle was good but the addition of angry sauce (we used the left over from the dumpling) made it superb. Pork buns were good. The meat seemed to have more fat part than I preferred but it made it moist and tasty, The curry sauce was good. I did not like the way potatoes were watery in the curry. We enjoyed the food and service. We will definitely go back. read more

I would come here again and again. Food is always great, the service is quick and while the ambiance lacks, the food makes up for it 100%! read more

This place is ok. We ordered angry pork dumplings, grandpa's noodle and a curry rice dish. The dumplings are great. We love it. Grandpa's noodle is good too, just not that much food. The curry rice dish is lousy. It is no flavor other than ridiculous sweetness. And they charge $0.75 for chili oil. Seriously, while it is not much money, I really just want a little bit. I looked around, a lot of other customers are just like me. We only used a little and threw the rest away. All in all, I would be ok for a snack, but not a meal. read more

A homey, comfortable eatery where you are served quickly, where the feel is very family-oriented and relaxed, prices are reasonable and portions are shareable in size. And the food? Excellent! Wonderful flavors, hearty broths and sauces charged with umami and reasonable fire. This very quickly became one of our fave places and we cannot wait to come back! read more

This is a small place with big charm. You order at the counter and wait for them to call your name. They have a good variety of different drinks and a satisfying food menu. I ordered the grandpa noodles and pork buns. The broth the noodles were in was very hearty and flavorful and the meat was very tender. The pork buns were perfectly chewy and I can't wait to try the red bean dessert buns next time. I got a thai tea to drink and it was refreshing and mixed well. Over all a great place to stop in for a bite. read more

This food is fabulous! I had trouble with parking and almost left when a space opened up and am so glad it did. Ordered a couple boba teas, the steamed buns and the won ton soup. All was the best I've ever had! The service was great. The space is small and they said they validate the lot to the east of the building for overflow parking. It's worth the trip and the crowd. read more

Went here with my family and everything we had was delicious. The normal dumplings were big hits for my kids while the angry dumplings with chili oil and spicy mayo was a hit with the adults. The pork and chicken curry were delicious! Dont sleep on the marinaded cucumbers either! Boba was a hit with all the kids! The owner was super nice and came to chat with us. Would highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic delicious dumplings in the knoxville area! read more

Wow. Happy to have finally tried this tasty gem. It boasts a small interior with a somewhat quirky decor style. Random, mismatched tables and chairs and a bar are ready for you to plop down and chow. Super cool murals on the walls and a cozy couch in the back (near their random cluttered desk they presumably do business on?). There is a straw, plastic ware, and condiment station for doctoring up your bobas and entrees. A chili based sauce and the house sauce (holy moly this is good!) are awaiting little plastic cups. We ordered BBQ pork buns (3 in an order), Grandpa's noodles, pork dumplings (3 in an order), and Masaman curry with chicken. As the name suggests, the dumplings are the star. I was thrilled one came in my noodle bowl, too. The pork buns we would not get again (pretty dry and not soft and fluffy as we are used to elsewhere). The curry was fine but there are better spots for that in town. The service, noodles and dumplings will definitely bring us back. read more
