High-quality Chinese food that deserves more love. The soup dumplings are delicious and among the best I've tried in the Midwest. It isn't a full-service dim sum restaurant, but their menu is pretty solid. read more

What's good: The food, for sure. My favorite was the chili oil wontons. Everything was fresh and hot. The regular soup dumplings needed the vinegar or soy to add flavor, otherwise they would be too bland. The boba cup was filled with ice. I haven't had that before and felt that took away from the flavor, watering it down quickly. Less good: looking at photos of the place months ago, it looked nicer. The condiments containers were different. Now vinegar and soy are in plastic squeeze bottles that are not wiped clean after each use, so they're gunky and sticky around the tops. Even when eating in, some food is served in disposable containers. We had Dixie plates instead of regular plates. (Maybe we shouldn't really need plates?) The big colorful menu with pictures was no longer there so I wasn't sure what to order as it was my first time there. We went with their recommendations. We would certainly go back and try new things. I hope they make it. read more

If you're looking for authentic soup dumplings in St. Charles, Fan's Soup Dumplings is a small restaurant that delivers big flavor. The restaurant itself is cozy and simple, but don't let the size fool you--this place is focused on serving very good food. The highlight of the visit was the soup dumplings, which arrived in a bamboo steamer basket. The dumplings were tender and delicate, and each one was filled with rich consommé (soup) and flavorful meat. When you bite into them, be careful because the dumplings are full of hot broth that bursts out. The soup inside was packed with flavor and made the dumplings stand out. The sandwiches were also excellent. Whether you choose the pork or the beef, the bread was perfectly crunchy and the meat inside was very flavorful. It made for a great balance of texture with the crispy bread and tender meat. Another dish that really stood out was the mashed cucumber salad with hot pepper oil. It was fresh, slightly spicy, and very refreshing alongside the dumplings and sandwiches. Overall, Fan's Soup Dumplings feels like a hidden gem in St. Charles. It's a small restaurant that focuses on doing a few dishes very well, and the quality of the food really shows. Overall: A small but very good restaurant serving authentic soup dumplings, excellent sandwiches, and flavorful sides. If you are in St. Charles and enjoy dumplings or Asian cuisine, it is definitely worth a visit. read more

I think this place just opened this year and I don't think there's enough hype because its YUMMY! We visited randomly not thinking too much about - just craving dim sum, but we were so thoroughly impressed with the quality. We got an order of pork soup dumplings, pan friend chicken soup dumplings, a beef sandwich, and a passion fruit iced tea. Great soup dumplings, I really liked the flavor! But the beef sandwich was crazy good - fragrant, flavorful, and our favorite! The passion tea was also very good and refreshing against the rich meats. The kitchen staff is small, and everything is made to order so it is a bit of a wait. We had a great experience and we WILL be coming back. read more

I have been back a few times now and this is my new favorite place to get dumplings on the side of the river. The pan fried soup dumplings are lovely and I also tried a chicken salad sandwich which came with a sweet mayonnaise based sauce. At least that's what it seemed like to me. It was a very unusual sandwich, but it was very good and I would definitely get it again. I love their Boba tea too and inside service is friendly and even though the restaurant fills up pretty quickly, the tables are cleaned and set up right away for the next group of people. read more

I was traveling to St. Louis from California and tried Fan's Asian Corner based on the reviews. However, I was disappointed. I tried the wonton soup and cucumber salad and I found both of these flavors very under-whelming. I was expecting this food to be good, but i just felt like there was absolutely no flavor. I didn't have any issues with service, but I would probably not go back. read more

Grabbed take out at Fan Asian Corner. Ordered online and it was sitting out in a nice to go bag with a sleeve for my drink to keep it from falling over. I love sticky rice, and the shumal did not disappoint. The chili oil wontons were not as scary as they sound, it was more sweet than spicy and great flavor. The third item I opted for was the pan fried soup dumplings, they were not what I expected. In the pictures when ordering they are in a "soup", but in when I got home there was a small condiment container with liquid in it. Not enough for a soup. I will need to go dine-in and try them again. The Thai bubble tea hit the spot. It was a great meal, easy ordering. They do not offer delivery. Stop in and try them out! read more

I think I just found my new favorite Asian restaurant. I have heard about them and wanted to try for the longest time. Fan's Asian Corner is most notable for their soup dumplings which were pretty good but my absolute favorite from them is the Chinese sandwich. I can say the sandwich is the best in St. Louis. If you want something decadent and delicious, go for the fried chicken sandwich. It was crispy on the outside but drenched in the honey mayo sauce. The beef sandwich was also very good as well. I also recommend ordering the pork wonton soup. It was so comforting and warm, rich in flavors. The shrimp and cheese pan fried dumplings were also delicious. It was cheesy but not in a way that would be off putting. The portion is very decent for the price. For a party of 4, you would spend about $20-25 per person and be full. In my opinion, that's so affordable! The service was quick and you can see the workers folding the dumplings through the glass window which was nice to watch. I would love to come back time and time again. read more

I ordered carry out on a Friday night and the order was ready quickly and packaged so well! I ordered soup dumplings, sticky rice shumai, spring rolls and a side of broccoli. Each dish was tasty and very well seasoned. The broccoli was the perfect texture - not overcooked or over sauced. The shumai had that delicious unami flavor and the soup dumplings were a big hit. I was very impressed by how well it was all packaged for carry out! They included all the utensils you'd need and plenty of sauces. Will definitely go back! The restaurant is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall, but don't sleep on it. You don't want to miss out. read more

We were immediately greeted by a great smell upon walking in, which made a wonderful first impression. We got a variety of items for our first time and left with full bellies. The steamed beef soup dumplings were my favorite since with was filled with a flavorful soup, but the crisp on the pan fried pork dumplings was also nice for anyone seeking a crunchier texture. The sticky rice shumai was good to have 1-2 of, but it's very heavy. Definitely something to share with others. The wonton soup was very herby and enjoyable too. The restaurant was very clean and very calm. There were a few other patrons in there, but it didn't feel crowded. Would come back if I'm in the area again read more

Ordered the chili oil wontons which is now my favorite place to get them! Simply delicious! I was pretty disappointed with the pork steamed soup dumplings as there was not really any soup in them and there was a weird metallic taste to it. I did not finish eating even one of those. Not pictured that was ordered to go was the chicken sandwich which was delicious! The "buns" were like a pastry dough and the sauce was unlike anything I've ever tasted before. A blend of sweet and savory. Then ordered another order of the chili oil wontons which were also not spicy at all so I really enjoyed that! Oh! And got a Thai boba milk tea which wasn't too sweet. The boba was nice and there was ice but it may have been such a fresh brew that it stayed consistent lukewarm as opposed to an iced boba milk tea. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend and we each had a strawberry milk tea! Was a super good treat! After a while though we started to get an unusual taste and noticed it was making our stomach queasy. Overall we think we should've tried something else instead and definitely a smaller drink size. read more

Had a delicious beef sandwich! Although it took a little longer than I expected it was well worth the wait. The beef was tender and seasoned really well. There were also onions and green peppers to add some diversity to the dish. The crispy outside was also perfectly light and went so well with the beef! The interior of this place is super cute and bamboo themed. You order at the counter and they give you a number and you can find a seat. I went on a mid afternoon on a Sunday and it was busy but I was still able to snag a seat! I wasn't hungry enough to try any other dish but this one was great, highly recommend! read more

I came for late lunch today and was able to get a table to myself. This was my second time dining in, but their menu has expanded quite a bit since they first opened so I wanted to give it another go. They had some calming music playing and the dining area was clean and serene, as I remembered from before. I placed my order at the register and took notice the large kitchen window which could allow you to watch them handmake your dumplings if you so chose--that's right, everything is made by hand, IN HOUSE! Soup dumplings are their specialty, which I tried in the past--they are delicious, and I don't know of many places that offer them in the STL/St Charles areas. That said, I tried the chili oil wontons and shrimp dumplings this time. I could probably skip the shrimp next visit, but the chili oil wontons are TO DIE FOR. DO NOT SKIP THEM!! I chose pork as my filling, but they offer beef and chicken as well. For a VERY reasonable price, you get enough in one order to easily have a pretty solid lunch. They are tender and the filling ratio is spot on. The chili oil broth could stand on its own, in my opinion. It isn't overly spicy, but they offer chili crisp at your table, which I happily added to up my spice level. Do yourself a favor and try them, you won't be disappointed. I will continue to eat my way through their menu undoubtedly, but these will be a MUST for every single visit, in my book! read more

Okay, I tried this place a few more times and I can't do there Beef Xiao Long Bao. I don't know how beef is more gamey than pork, but I'm okay with this spot as long as I stick with their pork. While I was ordering, I said one pork steamed dumpling and one beef steamed dumpling. I said, "actually can I have the beef steamed dumpling changed to pan-fried?". Yeah....the dude didn't understood that and added a pan-fried beef, instead of changing it. That's my fault for not checking the receipt even after thinking of how expensive it came out to. However, their spicy chili wontons are a lot better than the first time I tried it. I remember it being sweet with weird flavors, but when I tried my friends', it actually was pretty delicious. read more

The food was absolutely peak, it was all very authentic tasting. Me and my dad enjoyed it so much we both agreed we'd be back soon; the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they didn't have much of a selection to pick from and they didn't have many sauces to dip in (to the owner: I recommend a sweet vinegar soy like sauce for the shumai to be served with!). Also we wanted water and they gave us very small cups to drink from, I don't wanna get up three times in the middle of my meal to ask for more water. ‍Service was alright, they did their jobs and the food came out fairly quick. Not much to say here. The building itself was clean and taken care of, tables bussed and the ambiance calm and relaxing, good for a new experience in Asian culture or a cute date with your partner. I can see this restaurant gaining traction and not having enough seating for everyone. Also quick note here, they use styrofoam plates and disposable utensils which I didn't like because it made the place feel cheaper overall. read more

Ha! I finally got to scoot in here around 1pm on a Sunday. You order at the window, pick a seat, and plop your number card down on the tabletop. The teenager perused the picture menu for a moment while the small one chose boba over grass jelly for her tea. I was here for one thing and one thing only - the chili oil wontons. The teenager agreed. This place is adorable. We loved the light wood/bamboo/black/white decor. Modern pop played and customers talked cheerfully. I'm in love. Boba milk tea : this was my daughters first boba experience and she approved. It was VERY sweet with chewy boba, right up her alley. It was a generous size as well. Chili oil wontons: THE silkiest wrapper imaginable. Soft savory filling. The sauce had a lot of umami and chili flavor, and surprised us all with sweetness. They were not spicy on their own. We added the tableside chili crisp and vinegar and yep, they're as amazing as they look. We will absolutely be back for the soup dumplings. And the sandwiches... And the rest of the menu. read more

Five months ago, I discovered this local delight and have been wanting to post a review. So this review is an accumulative review of 5 months' worth of eating here 2 to 3 times a month for quick lunches. Best hand made soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings I've tasted in Missouri! My preference is pork over beef and chicken. So the latter two may not be as tasty. Been my constant go to when craving for "Chinese food"; tastes close enough to authentic Taiwan/Hongkong cuisine. Cucumber salad is nice and refreshing but it has garlic which some may not appreciate. The same goes for the broccoli which also has garlic. Ordered that for guests, not something I would usually get. If you like more flavor with "some" spiciness, try the chili oil wonton. It is kind of sweet though and not at all spicy for someone who is accustomed to eating chili padi! ;-) There's condiments on the side if you like to add chilli oil, soy sauce or vinegar. When I am unwell, the pork wonton soup is my comfort food. Wish it came with noodles! Veggie spring rolls with the sweet sauce is nice. Sticky Rice Shumai is good for filling the tummy and goes well with the sweet sauce for veggie spring rolls. Edamame is a good tummy filler too if you don't mind shelling them. Selection is limited unfortunately, no noodles or fried rice or white rice. So for a light lunch, it's ok. The fried chicken sandwich is good if you like fried stuff with mayo. A tad too oily for me. But I don't usually enjoy fried food. Bubble tea price is reasonable $5+ depending on your selection. For the same size cup, another store I've been to charges $10! I think I've about tried everything they have, just not all the different varieties. Service is reasonably fast. Place is simply setup, clean and quiet for good conversation. Servers do clean up but if you assist in throwing away the disposable utensils, I know that they would appreciate that too! :-) read more

Just a heads-up it's pretty warm inside, so dress light. We were seating badly and the poor chairs were soaked. The chili oil wontons were absolutely the best dish we tried, and the beef soup dumplings were also amazing. The golden broccoli was a miss for me, I expected it to be warm, but it came out cold. The cucumbers were okay, but a little bland. Seating is limited, and it took almost an hour and a half for all of our food to arrive. read more

Very nice to have such goo Asian soup dumplings nearby I have enjoyed the pork soup dumpling on a cold winter day. The pork inside the dumpling was larger than most and filled the dumpling leaving little room for the soup. My favorite was the chilli wonton dumpling, not as spicey as i expected, in fact the chilli sauce on the tables i put on my pork dumpling was much hotter than the sauce in the chilli dumpling - (sorry no pic but will update later). Trust me, all the rave reviews are not wrong - a definate winner. Also enjoyed the cucumber salad which has a heaping amount of garlic (w/vinegar to balance flavor). The portion is very generous and a serving for two. Interior is clean, spacious, simple (w/to-go boxes conveniently placed). Service is prompt and friendly. I will definately be back to try the chicken and beef sandwiches as well as dim sum, to see if its just the same menu offering, but for two?...You'll want to check this one out. read more

This place did not taste right to us. Soupy dumplings are alright at best. The skin is very thick and inconsistent. Some parts are just raw flour. Pan fried dumplings are ok taste-wise. But the dish is undercooked, making the skin a gooey and slimy mess. Chili oil wonton, please stay away from this, you all. It has absolutely no taste except sweetness, like disgustingly sweet, especially when I expect something spicy. Sticky rice siu mei - another sweet dish. It's supposed to be savory. Beef sandwich - sweet. Cucumber salad - best dish tonight. read more

Great handmade soup dumplings, Chinese bing sandwiches, wontons in spicy oil. Food is fresh, restaurant is clean, and service efficient. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. The food is authentic and easy-to-share family style, and I like how the menu is manageable. Pro tip: use the soup spoon to hold the soup dumpling and take a small bite of the soup dumpling skin first to release the steam and hot liquid. You can also pour some of the vinegar and soy sauce into the little hole you make to cool jt. If you put the whole thing in your mouth, you'll likely burn your mouth!! read more

What a great spot. I came here for lunch with a friend. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, wontons in chili oil, and the cucumbers. The soup dumplings are solid - good flavor, plenty of soup, and came out piping hot. The only thing I'd change? I'd like a small dipping bowl with some julianed ginger to dispense the vinegar and soy sauce into. The wontons were good too. While the description says chili oil, the sauce was a little sweet, with no hint of heat. They have a jar of hot chili oil on the table to augment them with, so they hit the spot. The cucumbers were great. Lightly smashed, and dressed with vinegar and sesame oil. Cold, crisp, and fresh. The service was friendly and fast. All food was cooked to order, but came out quickly. If you like XLB's, come here. If you've never had them, come try them! They're good! read more

I was really excited to try Fan's Asian Corner and that they opened in St. Charles. I ordered pork steamed soup dumplings and the chili oil wontons. Both of these dumplings are handmade in house. I enjoyed the soup dumplings. I would have preferred a thinner dough and more liquid. The wontons were delicious but I would have liked more heat in the chili oil. This was a very generous portion. The service is friendly. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the sandwiches on my next visit. Love that you can get Xiaolongbao in St. Charles! read more

I was excited to finally try this place with my friends, a little sad that we all didn't like the food like we expected too. The wonton (pork) was very bland. So was the soup with it. It had this fishy smell to it that just didn't smell right to any of us. 0/5 star The pan fried and steamed dumplings were mid. A bit disappointed on the lack of seasoning. Pretty bland even with the vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce we used with it. 2/5 star The chicken sandwich there was terrible. The sauce itself was not matching the food. 0/5 star The spring rolls were mid. I'd say they're on par with the frozen ones you get at Walmart or such. 3/5 star My friend ordered the strawberry lemon tea drink and it tasted very sour, it took a sec to warm up to it. Rated it 3/5 stars Me and my other friend got the regular boba tea and it was great! Best thing we had in my opinion there. 4.5/5 star Staff were friendly and nice and the place was relatively clean. Just food wasn't good to us. Wouldn't come back unless the food improved. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Used to go here a lot before and it used to be good, but the quality has dropped extremely. The pork was raw, chili oil wontons weren't even spicy, it was sweet for some reason. Also, there were a lot of gnats and flies in the store. Do better. Disgusting. Their drinks were good at least, but I didn't go there for the drinks, I would've gone to the boba tea place next door instead. read more
