Steam Boys - The 5 spice popcorn chicken rice bowl and the house dumplings Pan-Seared Hot Dumpling Bowl 辣煎饺 - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I come here regularly with my husband when we are craving Asian cuisine because it's conveniently located near us. The decor here is nice and there are plenty of spacious tables for groups. Ordering is done at the front and food is then brought to your table, much like other fast casual establishments. We tend to order the pan seared dumplings which satisfy our craving for flavorful filling, but can be overpowered by the taste of the frying oil. I LOVE soup dumplings and they aren't the easiest to find in Nashville compared to our previous home base in Oakland, CA. But Steam Boys scratches the itch.... Every. Single. Time. Other favorite menu items include the noodle soup and the fluffy steamed bao bun with crispy chicken, pickle and spicy sauce. By no means is this chain reminiscent of a "locally owned" restaurant, but it is a staple when I need a quick, warm dinner that I can't make taste as good at home on a weeknight. read more

Steam Boys had a pop up at my job through Fooda. The staff were amazing with explaining each dish and even recommending their favorites. I decided on the shredded beef bowl and I'm so happy I did. The beef was sliced thin, but oh so filling. The rice was cooked perfectly. The added green onions and fried egg on top elevated the dish. I had this bowl for lunch and still didn't have room for dinner later. Great meal especially for the price. read more

Steam Boys - Shredded Beef Rice Bowl - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went here after thrifting our way up and down Nolensville Pike. Me and my friend got a bunch of things to try. Steamed Pork bun, Steamed Beef fun, Soup Dumplings, Shredded Beef Rice Bowl, and Five Spice Chicken Rice bowl. Everything was good. I favored the rice bowls. It was way too much food for 2 people, but we enjoyed ourselves in restaurant and took home leftovers. They were out of most of their soup dishes which was a bummer... but I guess it's a reason to go back!? read more

If you're looking for some comfort food on a cold night, go to Steam Boys and get the noodle soup! Watch out, the mild is pretty spicy, and I like spice! I always get the beef which has consistently been tender and tasty. This time I also got the spiral cucumber which was really tasty. It might be my favorite thing on the menu, but I love a good cucumber. The staff is always kind. One thing of note. The door takes a minute to close and if it is cold, the air gets in and so it tends to be chilly. Don't sit by the door! read more

First time trying Steam Boys and I'm already a fan! We ordered a little bit of everything -- pan-seared pork & shrimp dumplings, spicy dumplings, pork soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and the crispy chicken bao bun. The pan-seared dumplings were crispy on the bottom and packed with flavor, and the spicy dumplings had the perfect kick without being too much. The soup dumplings were warm, juicy, and comforting (highly recommend). The cucumber salad was super refreshing and balanced everything out. My favorite had to be the crispy chicken bao bun -- fluffy, soft bun with crunchy, flavorful chicken inside. Food came out fast, service was friendly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're a dumpling lover, this spot is a must-try! read more

Steam Boys Boba is such a cute spot! The drinks are always fresh, and you can really taste the quality in the boba. The pearls are soft and perfectly chewy, not hard like some places. read more

Fast casual, go to the counter to order and they bring you the food. Ordered the lunch special, the Taiwanese beef noodle soup was legit and the dumplings were juicy. Too bad it's Friday, Tuesdays are AYCE dumplings! Will come back again when I'm in the area. read more

Steam Boys - Beef noodle soup and pork shrimp fried dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food was good. I ordered the Asian honey chicken rice bowl and appetizer popcorn chicken. A bit pricy for the amount of chicken in the rice bowl. 14.00. Pieces of chicken were cubed thighs with the skin still on. Skin was not crispy, not my thing. Another person got the pork boa. I did not like it. It's like a giant pork meatball covered in a dumpling, mushy when you bit into it. Service was excellent. read more

I came here for the first time with some friends and ordered their steamed bao. I got the beef and the pork one. The food came out pretty fast and I took my first bite and it was pretty good, but pressed on the side of my bao bun was a dead daddy long leg spider. I immediately lost my appetite and notified the restaurant staff. It's a huge deal to find a dead spider on your food and at first it seemed like they didn't care too much about what had happened and they offered to give me a refund. Later on, they came up to me and offered me a meal on the house to apologize for what happened. This is the reason I give them 3 stars instead of just 1. It seemed like they were genuinely sorry about what had happened and was willing to make up for it. I would just be wary and cautious simply because finding bugs in the food seems like a cleanliness issue especially if it's a restaurant. read more

Great place for a quick lunch. The staff is super friendly. The food is awesome. We ordered the beef noodle soup and the pork dumplings. High recommended. Will definitely come back read more

Just lovely food. There are actually a lot of veggie options that are not on the menu beyond the bao. I got the pan seared veggie dumplings and they are sooooo much better than the frozen ones I get at the grocery! Nice lady at the front helped me out with the veggie options not listed on the menu. Super clean sitting area and bathroom. read more

Portion size was good. But noodles were only warm and meat was cold. They did take it back and redo the order and it came piping hot. Ground pork sautéed in bean paste was so so. The five spice popcorn chicken was pretty good. Half of the order was good quality popcorn chicken. The other half was mostly fried batter with little to no chicken. Very limited menu. Dumplings and Baos were up charged if you wanted them seared. Not terrible at all but won't be back here again. read more

Great restaurant! Great staff!! Love the restaurant! Will definitely come here again! It was great during the winter storm!

Decided to check this location out for lunch since it's so close to my place of work. 5 years ago pre covid I loved the Steamboys in Germantown. One of my favorite places for a bite or two. Unfortunately, this one did not meet my expectations. Maybe it's due to expansion or maybe roots have been lost. I feel like the quality of the food has seen a hit. On Tuesdays, steamboys has all you can eat dumplings. We decided to give this a try. Everything we tried was simply alright. With the all you can eat dumplings you get a choice of pork & cabbage, pork & shrimp, veggie, chicken, and the hot dumpling bowl. You can have them steamed or pan seared. We tried every single choice and unfortunately every single choice felt mediocre. On the bright side, I did order a yogurt jasmine milk tea with tapioca and it was delicious!!! Big RIP :( read more

Food was amazing and they were so sweet! They even have a cute mini bobas for kids. And it's very clean as well

We came in 30 minutes after they opened and tried to order their rice bowl which is "highly recommended" on their menu, and we were told the rice wasn't ready and wouldn't be for another half hour. Didn't seem to care either. Probably wouldn't return to this location. read more

Quick and great service! We got it for take out first and it was great. The vibes in store were cool too!

I go here and the hermitage location all the time and food and service is always impeccable

everytime i go in here and order for my family i treat them with kindness knowing i have sometimes 5-8 drinks to order but the workers specifically this indian looking lady always gives us stares, laughs at our order and one time they took a picture of our order because we "ordered so much" and it was only like 7 drinks. mind you, WE give them money and business yet they still can't give us the service we deserve. today me and my cousins drinks had boba stuck together, ive seen other reviews that were saying the same which is ridiculous since the responded to my other reviews apologizing and "committing to providing excellent service " straight bs. read more

Meh. This is a cute-ish fast service dumpling place. I had 6 vegetarian dumplings - small & filled with just broccoli for 10.50. My daughter had pork bun that one her first bite left her with a mouth full of gristle. The Vietnamese coffee is good, but not good enough to make me ever return. read more

Our favorite bubble tea in nashville. Great selection of flavors and quality...a regular stop for us, highly recommend!

Good tasting food with gr8 service. Had beef noodle soup and a seared pork bun. Ample serving size with great flavor.

Love Steamboys the food is always great and comes out fast. First time at the Harding Place location. Very nice service , cute and cozy.

We just had our first dining experience at the new Steam Boys location on Harding Place - and our last one too. We ordered two Bao (veggie and pork) and pan-fried pork and cabbage dumplings. With two fruit teas (peach and strawberry) and a 20% tip, our bill came to $40.10. It was definitely not worth it. The buns were bland (too much undercooked dough for the filling provided) and the dumplings were REALLY greasy. The only redeeming feature was the tea -- at $6.00 a cup. At least the service was attentive and polite. I don't understand how this chain has prospered. We will not return to Steam Boys. read more
