    Crab & Pork (8)
    Daryn B.

    Soup dumplings... as advertised. Small restaurant located on Olive east of I-170. Few seats available so plan to eat and run. Most seat 4 people so not good for groups. Also at peak times (lunch) parking may be a struggle. The dumplings were good. You get 8 per order ($10-$13 depending on filling). The table has vinegar, soy sauce and chili sauce available. A couple of other items available but it's mainly the dumplings. While good I'm being told the price has gone up recently. Honestly, I left still wanting something else to eat.

    I was excited to visit after hearing good things. My experience was not a great one at all. I walked up to the counter and the person at the counter totally ignored me as he continued to do whatever he was doing on his phone. I asked if I needed to place my order at the counter or if my order would be taken at the table since I had never been there and he told me to order at the counter. I had to continue to wait as he kept doing whatever he was doing on his phone. I almost left at that moment because I didn't feel like he wanted me to be in his establishment. I ordered beef, chicken, and pork dumplings. I loved the directions on the wall that showed the correct way to eat a soup dumpling since this was my first time. I did not like the dumplings at all. They tasted very wild and dirty to me. They were pretty but did not taste good at all. I will not be back ever.

    Came thinking there would be more food other than dumplings also has it on the menu too. But only dumplings were available. Able to order on the kiosk and this cute old lady came out w soup. So refreshing. Got the beef, pork, and crab and pork dumplings. The crab and pork was my favorite! Overall all the dumplings were good!

    Finally made it here with my friends since everyone else kept going without me and raving about it. We ordered two of each: beef, pork, and chicken, plus two cucumber salads. Everything is easy to share for 6 people. Portion was great. Seating is limited with maybe 25 spots, so it depends on how busy they are. The beef dumplings were my favorite, so flavorful, and the clear soup is really yummy too. Definitely coming back with friends or alone. Great spot and a solid find.

    Hands-down, one of my favorite soup dumplings in St. Louis. I've been going here for years. Steamed dumplings in any of your flavor combination you like. A small cup of broth to complement the dumplings. While the ambience of this place is simple, I do love the fact that they have how to eat a soup dumpling on the wall. This place can get busy, but I've never been afraid to have others sit with me if they need a spot to eat. This practice is very common and other countries anyhow. The service is wonderful. They now have a system where you can order your food that will be brought to your table. The older woman who brings your food is so sweet.

    A good spot if you're looking for a quick bite. The pork xiaolongbao had good flavor and lots of soup inside. Food comes out relatively fast and you order at the front. There's limited seating as the location is small.

    I haven't tried many soup dumplings but this is definitely my favorite place for them! I like the simple menu yet variety of soup dumpling fillings and sides. My favorite are the beef ones but I still have to try all the fillings. I love how they have the steps to eat a soup dumpling on the wall, which allowed me to advance from a beginner level! I've tried the seaweed salad too which is refreshing. Very good location, ambiance, easy parking, and nice staff. Always a pleasure coming here!

    Love this place for a quick lunch or dinner! You order what you want up front and they bring it to your table. The restaurant is clean and vibrant. There's only a few tables and it can get pretty busy but people come and go pretty quickly. The soup dumplings are reallly good and always hit the spot. Soup is also complimentary.

    Crab & Pork (8) and cucumber salad

    Solo lunch! Easy electronic ordering system at the back of the shop. Ordered pork and crab dumplings with cucumber salad. So savory and warm on a cold day. If new to eating soup dumplings. Lift dumpling. But small hole on side. Drink liquid. Eat dumpling. Add spicy chili from table. But little goes a long way. Space is small and family focused. Service is quick and pleasant.

    Honestly, there's nothing negative to say about Soup Dumplings STL! I wish there were more tables, alas, there's not. I had the beef dumplings and the pork dumplings. Wow. Wow. Wow. Craving more right now and I'm still full from dinner. The chili oil is deliciously spicy! You can't go wrong if you love soup dumplings! Small place - 8 tables I think. But it was quiet, food comes out quickly, so you don't have to wait very long for a table.

    Cristy M.

    The best soup dumplings, no matter what filling you get! This time we tried the pork and beef ones. Always so tasty! Chili oil highly recommended. They come out decently fast and even though it's a small space, we've never struggled to find a seat because people move in and out.

    Small but mighty. This is a very small restaurant with very limited seating so if you're looking to eat inside, you might have to wait for a table. Me and my friend came here for dinner and it was so good. I went home thinking about it all night and I can't wait to return back. I got the pork soup dumplings and they were so flavorful And it's crazy how something so small can be packed with so much great flavor. You can tell they really know what they're doing, and I bet you this is one of the top soup dumpling places in St. Louis.

    This is not only one of St Louis's top 100 restaurants, it's one of my sister's favorites too! We were visiting from out of state for the holidays. What a great change from the traditional meals. You order from a limited menu at the counter. Limited is not a bad thing, it means they do one thing really well as in dumplings! I appreciated the simple to follow directions with graphics showing how best to enjoy these. In door dining space is limited, service is quick and food is delivered very hot to your table. We will return to Soup Dumpling the next time we are in U City.

    Chili oil and vinegar condiments are a must

    Are the crab & pork dumplings 8 dumplings of crap and pork or 4 of crab and 4 of pork?

    All 8 are a combination of real crab & pork. Sounds strange, but it works! Definitely not "crap" filled. LOL!

    Any vegetarian or vegan options?

    No, they dont have any vegetarian or vegan options.

The lady came by with the carts before my companions arrived but I wanted to wait to get anything going, Greetings all around and we were ready! The Dim Sum cart came around and my Dim Sum companion who knows her way around the cart, chose our options, ordered some noodles and Chinese broccoli. We prepped our sauce for dipping; soy, red vinegar, hot mustard, chili oil, try it you'll like it. Some pork, some shrimp, noodles, broccoli, bbq pork, all so good! I don't ever know exactly what we get but I try it all and it is all good. The second cart that comes by, I kept putting off and then by the time I was ready I was too full to get more. I wanted the egg tart and the sesame balls but I just coudn't eat any more It helps to go with someone who knows what to get but if you don't have that option, just choose what looks good and it will be.

There was only about two server when we went here. It took forever to get most of our party water to drink. The tea did come after ten minutes of sitting but the water took about 45 minutes or so. Being here with kids, yea has too much caffeine for them so they waited a long time for water. It took about twenty plus minutes to get our check. The food was not what it used to be.

This small restaurant is located in a very large shopping center. The sign is a little hard to see but when you enter you're greeted with a clean and simple interior with friendly faces and a focused menu. They do pan fried or steamed dumplings (pork, chicken, beef, or shrimp filling), with cucumber salad or broccoli as a side option. I think they might also have boba and fruit tea but given I'd already made a boba trip that day I didn't order any. My husband and I ordered steamed beef and pan fried chicken dumplings to share, plus cucumber salad. The employee gave good recommendations on which meat went best with each cooking style. Our food came out quickly. I enjoyed everything we ordered. The cucumber salad needed a little bit more oomph but it was nothing some of the chili oil on the table couldn't fix. My favorite was the steamed beef dumplings. They were super rich and savory. The chicken dumpling wasn't quite as crispy as I'd expected and the broth almost had a slightly sweet quality to it. It was good, just a little different than what I expected. I'm very glad I got to try these dumplings! This wasn't a super gigantic or hugely filling meal so I'd probably order one extra side (the broccoli looked great and I kinda wish my husband had sided with me on ordering it, lol) just to round things out if I returned. Overall, a quite positive experience and I'm grateful to have had it!

Maybe they're fine on other days, but it took two and a half hours for my meal to be ready, long after the quoted time online. I sat outside in my car for a while when I went to pick it up, and the place was totally packed with people waiting for their food. Perhaps they should have capped orders or something? I'm sure they were exhausted and working nonstop. The pepper chicken was pretty good, except it was missing the egg I paid to add, as well as the rice. After waiting so long, I was really annoyed about the order missing the extras. It was an extra $5 to order online, too. I'm giving them grace because they were way overworked that night, and the food was pretty good. But they definitely need to cap orders or give more accurate time estimates. There were a lot of furious (probably hangry) people there who left without their orders.
