I love being able to watch the kitchen make the meals and there was a gentleman making dumplings from scratch. You can see the technique. The ingredients were just such high-quality. You knew you're in for a good meal. We ordered the chili oil wontons, cold noodles with pork so good, but the star of the show where the dumplings just outstanding. I think we tried every flavor be warned and they do warn you. They are hot as in temperature when they come out I love that the menu has how to eat them without burning your face. First time Customer will definitely not be the last time. Service is outstanding. Everything was clean. Everything was delicious. read more

Thwbseevice was terribke and awfully slow the food took forever to come out But when the food did come out it was delicious! Thebsoybsauce with their chili oil that you can add yourself was the best!! We had pan fried veggie dumplings and edamame and scallion pancakes that were vegan My green bean and broccoli was vegan just ask for it with no oyster sauce My husband had the Mongolian Beef he said that it had too much onion but it was also good with the chili oil read more

Are there better soup dumplings to be had elsewhere? Probably. But, the entrees, drinks and service here make up for any shortfalls on that end for sure! We came in on a weekday evening for an early dinner and were immediately greeted by our friendly server who also explained the menu to us. We had the pork and chicken soup dumplings, cristal shrimp dumplings and an order of black pepper beef. Add two milk teas and a popping boba fruity tea and we were ready to EAT! The shrimp dumplings were perfect and we really liked the chicken soup dumplings. The pork ones could have used more ginger and something else but I'm not sure if sauce would have made the difference as we really don't use it with these. The beef was the star of the show - so much meat and so tender!! We could have had another whole serving of that! For dessert we had matcha mochi and it is a lot! One serving probably would have been enough, but we got two and the kids never let ice cream go to waste. Before tip all of this was only $82! Run, don't walk and get yourself some delicious food! read more

First time here. We wanted to try something different. Atmosphere is nice. They make dumplings from scratch where you can view them through a glass. Food was edible. The BBQ dumpling was just ok I could not taste the bbq meat it tasted like over steamed not too meaty. The noodles on the soup tasted like angel hair pasta which was disappointing. The taro I got didn't have a strong taro taste. Not sure if we'll come back. Maybe to try some different. Service was nice, staff were friendly. read more

Savory Bun - 3 Piece BBQ Pork Bun - Chinese Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

Fantastic food all around! The sesame chicken is a standout, and the pan fried pork buns are an absolute must try. You can really tell all their dumplings are handmade in house. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality makes it well worth every penny. We'll definitely be adding this spot to our regular rotation! read more

The place was nice and big parking is not a problem and the service was good. He ordered a bunch of food including some dishes and dumplings. Deserving was really huge which was really great for the dishes. The soup the beef noodle soup and the wonton noodle soup I wasn't really my favorite but it wasn't bad it's just not the one that I'm used to so it was just okay for me. Soup dumplings was good the pork siomai I didn't like as much. My actual favorite this was the shrimp fried rice I could eat it all day by itself without a dish with it. I would definitely go back to explore more dishes. Happy eating! read more

My first visit to Savory Bun, and hopefully not my last. The vibe is relaxed, festive, and the acoustic pop playlist adds to the laid back feel here. I was happy to find some good wine options and beers like Asahi and Tsingtao on the drink menu. The dumplings were fresh and generous portions. The crab rangoon was creamy and larger than other places in the area. I really enjoyed the shrimp stir fried with udon noodles, as the noodles really soaked up the tasty sauce. For dessert, the mango mochi was sweet and the perfect portion for two to share. The parking lot here is not real big, and there are other restaurants in this strip mall competing for spots, but it looks like there might be street parking nearby when the lot is filled. A little pricier compared to other spots with comparable items, but the portions here are good. I look forward to trying other dishes and dumplings here. read more

I've been seeing ads for this place, so I decided to try it. When you walk in, it's pretty spacious and it was quiet for Sunday lunch. Not busy at this time. My cousin and I got the chilled cucumber salad, scallion pancake, chicken and mushroom dumplings, and pepper beef. The cucumber was exactly what the description said. It was just sliced cucumber in chili oil, nothing special. The scallion pancake was crispy, but I didn't really taste anything. The soup dumpling were good. Hot and flavorful and the best dish we ordered. The pepper beef came out warm. It wasn't hot like I would expect it to be. The beef was on the chewy side. The service was fine and the food was okay, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

My wife and I visited Savory Bun for dinner and had an overall enjoyable experience. The interior is well lit and inviting, with walls decorated with vibrant photos of various Asian dishes that really set the mood for the meal. We started with the Crab Rangoons, which were good and had a nice balance of crispiness and flavor. For our mains, we ordered the Vegetable Chow Mein, Szechuan Chicken, Chicken Pan Fried Dumplings, and the Wonton Chicken Stir Fry. While the Szechuan Chicken wasn't anything too special, the rest of the dishes were tasty and satisfying. The highlight of the evening was definitely the customer service--the staff was very kind, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. Overall, Savory Bun delivered a pleasant dining experience with solid food and great service. read more

I only found out about this place through social media. The problem with those "influencers" is that they think everything is 5/5 and is amazing. We came in on Saturday 1/31/26. The menu will definitely appeal to mostly American tastes, most of the non-Chinese will think this is the best thing that ever happened to them. The service itself left much to be desired. It could use more work. Our server the guy brought over the wrong appetizer. He gave us scallion pancakes instead of the beef pancake roll. He fixed it after I pointed it out. Prices were slightly more expensive than the average Americanized Chinese restaurant. We ordered spicy chili oil wontons, beef pancake roll, crabmeat & pork soup bun, thumbling pan fried pork bun, and minced pork noodle. Overall it's a 3 out of 5. -spicy chili oil wontons 3 - not spicy at all. After eating at DTF quite a few times, there is no comparison. This version was mid. $9 is a bit much for this. $7-8 is better. -beef pancake roll 3.5 - I never had this before. It wasn't bad. Make sure you use the hoisin sauce with it because there is no taste without it. This is not $14 worth. It's worth at least $7. -crabmeat & pork soup bun 4.5 - I like the juice and it had a good amount of filling. However, the skin sticks to those mini foil baking cups. It'll be better if they use perforated parchment or steaming paper like at DTF so that it doesn't stick and keep all of the juices inside. -thumbling pan fried pork bun 5 - I really liked this one. The skin was crispy. It pulled apart easily. The filling inside of the pork buns were juicy. -minced pork noodle 2.5 - we mixed it up but there wasn't much taste. It was more subtle than prominent. In addition, the meat to noodle ratio was horrible. There wasn't a lot of meat in here. When they first give it to you, it looks like a lot of meat until you start mixing it. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Daisy is the server/owner and she is so kind and friendly and service is great! The food was also delicious! We have tried many Asian places because we are Asian so we know good soup dumplings and Asian fare and this place did not disappoint! Their soup dumplings are filled with soup and so tasty. We also really enjoyed their Mongolian beef, spicy cucumbers, udon noodle dish and chili wonton appetizer. Best of all their prices are so much more affordable compared to similar restaurants. I wish I lived closer cuz I would eat here all the time! read more

Decided to stop at Savory Bun. Turns out they've only been open for about 2 months. I ordered the Soup Dumplings, Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, edamame, crab rangoons, passion fruit boba tea and green tea. The highlights were the dumplings. I've never had soup dumplings before. It was a tasty surprise. There were only 2 servers from what I was able to see but they were very attentive and came around frequently to check on us. We walked in right around 5pm and there was only my family of 3 and another couple. Within the hour, the place packed up and got busier. The place itself is spacious and the decor is simple. My wife, son and I enjoyed our experience and will go back soon. It was good to have another options for dumplings in the area. Check it out for yourself! Hopefully they continue to thrive and add on to their staff. read more

Food - above average. Taste was good. We ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and Wonton Noodle Soup. The Shanghai Long Bao was also good. It did not coagulate even though we had some after eating the noodles. In terms of taste, both were good. The only thing that I would say is that we did not expect the Wonton Noodle Soup to have spice. I would at least put it on the menu that it has mild spice. Service - good. It was not busy but they checked in just enough. read more

I've been to this location once and it was ok. My wife did an order 2 noodle soups and a drink. One of the noodle soups was correct, however the wonton noodle soup did not come with the correct broth/soup instead we were given a spicy beef broth with chili oil. Call the restaurant who advise "they" make their wonton noodle soup with beef broth. So I asked the wonton noodle soup is spicy? She said yes. She said they could not do a refund and that we'd need to go through doordash to request and they would approve. Lady I spoke with was consistently adimant that that's how their wonton noodle soup is, yet it doesn't match any of their pictures on the menu and would noy accept any fault. Best luck to those that go here, but we will never be back due to service and quality of food. Five Spice down the road is 100x better food and service. read more

Food was piping hot and delicious! The pork and chive dumplings had a lot of filling. Love that they put the dumpling sauce on all of the tables (almost like a black vinegar with sweet soy sauce combo). I hope they do well and are here to stay. Our server was wonderful too! read more

Food was good. Service spotty. The two waiters seemed indifferent and spent most of the 2 hours we were at the restaurant either in intense conversation behind the register with their backs to the tables or on their mobile phones. Twice I had to get up and walk over to get any attention. Dumplings were tasty. We had the chicken and mushroom. Scallion Pancake was good and crispy as was the vegetable fried rice and the spicy cucumber salad - big portions too. I would have given 4 stars except for the service read more

The food is big portions and tasty. The service is fast and the ambiance is peaceful. I rate it a 10/10

We had a wonderful dinner experience here recently. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the decor was inviting and comfortable. Their food was excellent and the prices were the most reasonable we've found in the suburbs. Their xiao long bao was so full of soup! We enjoyed everything we ordered and my wife went back the following week with her friends. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Savory Bun - Beef noodles soup House fried rice Shanghai buns - Chinese Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

We went back to Savory Buns to see if there have been any updates, and they sure did! They fixed their soup dumplings (xiao long bao)!! They now put it in a little aluminum foil cup, so you can easily eat the soup dumpling without wasting the soup. There was plenty of soup inside and the flavor of the dumpling also significantly improved! It is still better than the restaurant recently opened in Schaumburg! We, also, tried some of their noodles this time. I got the Tan Tan noodles. The noodles itself were perfectly cooked, and the flavor of the noodles were nice. My only complaint is that the portion seems to be smaller than the Beef Noodle Soup and Lo Mein. My mom liked it and would get it next time. Their Lo Mein is still delicious!! It has that wok-fried taste that is missing in a lot of Chinese restaurants. Service has also improved. They are definitely more familiar than last time and much more attentive. Savory Buns is one of our favorite Noodle/Dumpling restaurants in the area! read more

Online ordered and food was delivered on time and successfully and was delicious. Will return to try another lunch and dinner.

Came here for lunch and had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food here was DELICIOUS. Everything was hot and had amazing flavor. I personally favored the crab rangoons over the veggie egg rolls but both were still really good! The Shanghai soup dumplings are pork based and went really well with their dumpling sauce that is placed at each table. The black pepper beef felt like I was eating a home cooked meal and came with a side of white rice. The veggie fried rice was also one of my personal favorites as the flavor was amazing and reminded me of rice you can get at hibachi places. I can't wait to come back with the rest of my family and try more things off their menu. 10/10 read more

All of the dumplings were fresh and very tasty. My daughter very picky but ended up liking more than we thought. The orange chicken tasted homemade, not overly sweet and processed. We had soups dumplings, pan fried buns and the chili wontons, ALL excellent! We will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

If you want decent food, DO NOT COME HERE!!! Im not a picky eater but the food here is just horrible. Soup dumllings are served in little aluminum ramekins which made me wonder why as ive never had them served in such a way until i took a bite, meat tasted really old and very tough so my only theory is that they werent made fresh and are old. You cant even pull dumpling off ramekin without the wonton ripping. Ordered shumai as well and those were the weirdest shumais ive ever tried. The stuffing was just paste that had flavor, no real meat. Lastly had the beef noodle soup that reviewers were raving about and no lie, packaged noodle soup is way better. It was so bad i couldnt tell if it was asian, hispanic or indian inspired as there was a very strong hint/taste of cumin. Not to mention the beef in it was as tough as a cowboys leather boots. I couldnt even poke it with my fork. Just really hard to believe the 4+ star reviews that people had given this place. Save youself the trouble and dtive down a few miles to the dumlling place across Hmart. Btw the server was at least nice but offered no refunds even though we left 90% of our food untouched. She did give us a 10% discount which imo wasnt enough for me to not warn diners off read more

This place is just so tasty. The dumplings are so flavor filled and delicious. The wonton soup makes you feel so cozy on a cold day. The portions are very generous. Their bubble teas were tasty too and even festive for Halloween. My only problem (which isn't a problem) is living so close I can walk there. I will be frequenting often. read more

Service was amazing and food was delicious! We got the soup dumplings, noodles and buns.

I'm so happy a real dumpling place opened near us! The steamed pork dumplings and scallion pancake are our favorites
