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!?

Had a seamless takeout experience at Steam Boys. Very spacious interior with plenty of seating. Was not very busy during weekday lunch and pickup was quick.

Happy they are open during this snowstorm and cold times because soup dumplings warm you up perfectly! This restaurant is very inviting and has delicious food and many options. Also love the music they play!

Beef Noodle Soup 牛肉面

The lunch combo is a must here! Plenty of food and delicious dumplings all for a fair price! This location has free parking, cute decor, and nice staff. I recommend stopping by!

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!

I absolutely love coming to steam boys. I've ordered about half of the items on the menu by now, and I can confidently say that I've enjoyed everything. My favorite that I always come back for is the beef noodle soup. Highly recommend.

Crispy Chicken Gua Bao 鸡排刈包

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!

The pan seared pork and shrimp dumplings were fresh and tasty. I really liked the spice popcorn chicken and rice. It came with a nice sauce with a kick !

Beef noodle soup and pork shrimp fried dumplings

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.

Popcorn chicken

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.

Taro boba
Hart P.

Chinese dumplings make for a great snack or you can eat a bunch for a meal. Steam Boys has classic flavors and they are tasty. We always enjoy the boba here. Friedly, laid-back attitude makes for a relaxing meal. Our order was delivered promptly.

Everything was so delicious and fresh tasting! We will be back! Super clean inside and ac was pumping!

Veggie dumpling pan seared -- there are usually 8 but I ate three already they were so good
Sonali S.

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.

To me, this is the perfect order for 2: 2 orders of peanut butter dumplings (yes, you need your own because they're that good, and for optimal sauce dipping for your other dumplings too!!) and an order of steamed half chicken coriander half spicy pork dumplings. Definitely don't skip the drinks! I got the lychee dragonfruit tea and added in lychee popping boba this last time. Delish. I haven't been super impressed with some of the items aside from the dumplings - I wouldn't get the hot and sour soup again and could take or leave the cucumber salad. But the dumplings and the drinks alone easily make this place a 5/5. Some of the best dumplings I've had in Nashville!

The inside goes beyond your typical neighborhood Chinese spot, with grand décor that sets the mood. The staff is always friendly and even brings out complimentary kimchi and peanuts to start. Their combo prices are incredibly fair (around $20), and each one comes loaded with fresh veggies, ramen noodles, and fish balls. The sauce bar is next level too, with fresh cilantro and green onion, sesame sauce, and chili oil, all ready to be mixed to your taste. Whenever soup season hits (and it's coming up), I instantly start craving their spicy hot pot beef combo!!

I'd definitely recommend dining in - we went in on a rainy Thursday around 6 and it was already packed, but a table for two opened within about five minutes. Service is great and food hits the table quickly. We started with the fresh rolls, chicken and cabbage dumplings, and the tom kha. We added a side of peanut sauce, which was a game changer for the fresh rolls. The tom kha was a little tart for my taste, but was loaded with veggies that were cooked perfectly. The dumplings were super tender, and the fresh rolls are my favorite in town! For entrees, we got the pad thai and pad see-ew with rice noodles. Both absolutely delish, and we loved how the pad see-ew was prepared simply and traditionally with Chinese broccoli. Those portions are not to be reckoned with... we ended up taking two boxes full of noodles home! Their sticky rice with mango was our favorite bite of the night. The rice was the PERFECT texture, in a not-too-sweet sauce, topped with toasted coconut, and the juiciest, sweetest mango. What a treat.

I have eaten Thai from Washington state to Florida and everything in between. I always get chicken pad Thai as a barometer to compare between restaurants. I can't believe it but the very best Thai restaurant I have experienced is in Frankfort Ky. I'm spoiled so even a "good" experience isn't going to rank as high. This is a really cute restaurant and from the parking lot I knew it was a local favorite. Chicken and cabbage dumplings were excellent. Pad Thai was good, as mentioned. The sauce wasn't very flavorful and while I like onions, this dish had A LOT. Red and green onion and not consistently chopped. The green onions were very large, fibrous pieces that were difficult to eat. I also like the egg component but this dish had a lot of egg and seemed to be a large filler. We also had the pad see ew with chicken. Also good, but not outstanding. The service was top notch and the restrooms were very clean.
