The food was good, but unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the experience. Our group of eight arrived about an hour before closing, and from the moment we walked in, it was obvious that the staff was annoyed we were there. At approximately 9:20 p.m., our waiter made a point to tell us that the restaurant closed at 9:30 p.m. and that we would be KICKED OUT by 9:40 p.m. I have never felt so rushed or unwelcome at a restaurant. Another group of four arrived about 30 minutes before closing and was refused service altogether. If you decide to visit, make sure you arrive with plenty of time before closing, because it appears the posted closing time may not reflect when they actually stop serving customers. The food was enjoyable, but based on the service and how unwelcome we were made to feel, I doubt I will return. read more

"HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!customer service. We ordered a Kung Pao chicken dish and asked if they could add onions. The waitress immediately said no, just like that -- she didn't even ask or check. We told her, 'Can you please ask the kitchen? We just want onions on the plate. It's not that difficult.' I've worked in restaurants for many years and it's ridiculous that they wouldn't put onions on a chicken dish. She finally went to ask because we insisted that she ask the manager, and the manager said no. We were so confused, like, what? You can't add onions? She didn't say they were out of onions or anything like that -- just NO Then my husband said, 'Let us speak to the manager.' The manager refused to come out and talk to us and said he was busy. But we could see through the curtain that he was just standing there doing nothing, and he instructed the waitress to say he was busy. He wouldn't even face us. He clearly doesn't care about customers or whether people come back or not. Very, very bad service. We left hungry, and it was a horrible, horrible experience. We will never return to that place. I do not recommend it !! They are very, very rude. They do not care about their customers at all. She didn't even greet us. No 'hello,' no 'welcome,' no 'can I get you something to drink?' She just said, 'What do you want to drink?' and that was it. Absolutely pathetic service." read more

We finally have a place for dumplings. I couldn't wait to try this new place in Katy. We started with vegetable spring rolls and they came out super fast and hot. They were so good and fresh. We absolutely loved them. They are very full and packed with vegetables. Highly recommend them. The pork soup dumplings were so good, we couldn't eat them fast enough. The broth of the soup is super tasty. Don't miss this dish! The chicken friend rice was very flavorful and not your typical fried rice. The chicken pieces were huge and fresh. You could taste the egg and butter flavor throughout the rice. It came out super fast and hot. We really liked it. A little too much onion but still very good. We then tried the vegetable fried dumplings. They were very good but I would next time do the steamed. The crispy outside was a little odd but different. It's not the usual fried dumplings you are used to. The inside was very tasty but the fried outer part was different. My only complaint is the prices. I think if they were a little more comparable to other places, you would want to try more of their dishes. It's a small place and not fancy but the prices are more of a fancy resistant. I would definitely recommend trying it but just know it isn't cheap. I would go back but I would try other items. It's definitely worth the try. read more

TBH, we came here to try the soup dumplings and they weren't bad, but just not as good as other places. I was craving beef roll pancakes but these were aight, and the chinese burger was also aight, i didn't want to finish it. Perhaps we should've ordered more dumplings instead of the pancakes and the burger, but they looked appetizing in the pictures and we've been wanting to find a good place with those beef roll pancakes and wanted to try something new with the burger. Both were a slight disappointment. Service was good and fast though. read more

Unfortunately the soup dumplings (1/5) are no longer good here. They must have changed chefs or something but the last 3 times we've been, the xlb have gotten progressively worse. The most recent experience was the most disappointing as when we received our soup dumplings, they were all busted and flat. Gone are the days of beautifully plump dumplings filled with savory soup. I asked the waitress if something went wrong and she told me it was normal and the soup dumplings always looked like that. I assured her they didn't. We were starving so started eating and I figured if this was the new norm, I wouldn't return anyways, as there's another place nearby with plumper soup dumplings. Finally another waitress came by, took a look, went away and there was some sort of pow-wow with maybe a manager. Then one of waitresses came back, took the dumplings and said they'd give us another one. I appreciated it but we were already starving and having to wait another 15 min wasn't optimal. Second try on soup dumplings was not great either as 1/3 were busted and the rest looked anemic. Anyhow, I take back my claim of best xlb, as I get better results from the frozen grocery store version. Their beef pancake roll is still good though (5/5) read more

My family and I came here on Saturday around 530 am. We were seated very quickly. The staff was quick and checked on us every once in a while. All of our dumplings were amazing and had soup in it except for two in the actual soup dumpling one which was weird. The green beans can use some work. They actually accidentally gave us the eggplant dish but I think we should had ordered that instead. My favorite was the beef roll pancake. I would like it with a bit more meat but it was still really good. I'm still thinking about it. The place was very clean. Our table and chairs were stable. Parking is free and out front. read more

Smashburger then dumplings? Yes, please! Very nice waitress, super cute spot with a little outdoor seating, no cover. First time here so trying a variety of dishes, so we tried the cucumber salad, xiao long bao, the mix of the fam dumplings, wide hand, pulled noodles with chili oil and lest we forget, the sesame balls. Everything came out hot and steaming and absolutely delicious. This will definitely be a place that we come back to again and again.! ha ha read more

A friend in katy recommended this place as her "new favorite dumpling spot" so I knew I had to try! We came here on a Thursday evening and there was plenty of seating. However, 6 year olds must dine at a booth and those were all taken so we had to wait a bit before one opened up. Afterwards the lady came, brought us our waters and promptly took our order. 10 minutes later we were digging into our dinner. We got the pork and cabbage steamed dumplings, corn and chicken dumplings, clear beef noodle soup, and spicy wontons and we loved everything. My favorite was probably the clear beef noodle soup as the broth was light, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Their thinly sliced beef pieces were also tender and delicious. Dumplings were delicious as well. I'd say their dumplings taste more "sophisticated" compared to other dumpling places I've tried in Katy. Wontons were good as well, although the skin was just a tad thick. Overall steam dumpling is another great addition to the growing dumpling scene in katy. Highly recommend! read more

We decided to order takeout from Steam Dumpling since the weather was dreary. You can place a pickup or delivery order online. We decided to do pickup, which they said would take 30 minutes but our order was ready in 10 minutes. We ordered the Wontons in Spicy Chili Oil which comes with 10 pieces for $13.99. We also ordered the Steamed Shrimp and Pork Dumplings (10 pieces) for $13.99 and Cheese Wontons (5 pieces) for $5.99. Everything was delicious and chili oil is so spicy that it made me sweat but it was more the seeds/chili flakes in the oil that added the spicy kick. The only drawback for me is they charge you an extra $1 for soy sauce and chili oil and I hate when restaurants charge you more for to go condiments that would be free if I dined in. My husband said the inside of the restaurant was small, like a normal Chinese restaurant but it was okay. Overall, I would order takeout from here again. read more

Went here with my girlfriend after church and this place definitely hit the spot! I've been to some decent dumpling spots, but they were mostly in Chinatown. Outside of Chinatown, it's very hard to find some good tasting, authentic dumplings. This nice little restaurant settled in a shopping center asking 99 Grand Parkway, Steam Dumplings has something for everyone! We ordered three things: the Xiao Long Baka, the Clear Broth Beef Noodle Soup and the Pan Fried Pork and Cabbage Dumplings! We were pleased with what we got, especially the pan fried dumplings! That had to be our favorite, hands down! Great parking, nice staff and waiters, the interior was simple, organized and well kept! I will be back to eat again! They didn't disappoint!! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this dumpling shop in South Katy off Fry Road and 99. The service is very attentive, so I wanted to start out with that. The place isn't too crowded (for now) but still has good traffic for middle of the day. The XLB / Soup Dumplings-- WOW. Everyone says to go to One Dragon, but these are better. You can actually see the soup sloshing around inside the dumpling. They are so juicy, and tasty. Fresh, and you get 10 for $12.99. Definitely enough for 1 person as a meal or 2-3 people to share with other dishes. They welcome family style eating too. I have already been here twice, and enjoyed both my visits. For an appetizer, I had the potato shrimp thing, which looked beautiful, but I thought it needed more seasoning, or a better dipping sauce to give it more flavor. Parking is great, never had a problem. read more

Ordered the Wide Hand Pulled Noodle, Cucumber Salad and Beef Roll Pancake - all were delicious! Hand pulled noodles or Biang Biang Noodles are my all-time favorite noodle dish and they do them pretty well here. The flavor of the chili oil sauce mixture was well balanced. The cucumber salad was fresh and a nice contrast to the oily carbs I was eating lol. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

Ok, decided to try the Katy Steam Dumpling for Father's Day lunch/dinner with the family. The food was just as fabulous, tasty and delicious as the Stafford, TX location. The quality, taste and visual appeal were the same, however the service was lacking. Our server was cool and aloof and exhibited very little friendliness. The restaurant wasn't as clean and shiny looking as the Stafford location, however, due to it's close proximity and tasty food, we will be going back. read more

Normally, I'm not in this area too often, but I went here after coming home from a road trip. This place was exactly what I needed. I ordered the wide hand-pulled noodles, pork and cabbage dumplings, and a Chinese burger. The wide hand-pulled noodles were decent. The texture was good. The chili oil gave it a little kick without being overpowering. It came with some crunchy bok choy that added a nice contrast. The pork and cabbage dumplings were also excellent. Juicy on the inside with a good balance of meat and veggies. The Chinese burger was tasty and super filling. Most places make it super oily, but this place was not as oily as most. As for parking, it was surprisingly easy. It is a shared lot with plenty of space. The place is relaxed and chill. It had pretty simple tables and some decorations around. It's not fancy, but it's cozy. The staff are friendly and quick. The servers checked in just the right amount to see if I needed anything. Overall, this place is worth it. If I find myself in this area again, I'll definitely be back! read more

I love it here. It's nice to have good Chinese nearby so we don't have to go out to Chinatown so often. We've tried most of the items on the menu and everything has been amazing. I love their DanDan Noodles and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. Dumplings are juicy and perfectly steamed/pan fried. Smashed cucumbers are fresh and sauce is addicting. It's in an unassuming spot and though I don't hear much about them on social media, it always seems busy. They have more authentic fare but they also have Americanized items too like orange chicken if you prefer that.. Sooooo much better than Love's Dumplings which is overhyped but also don't tell everyone cuz I don't wanna have to be on a waiting list next time I visit. read more

I'm glad there's a restaurant in this neighborhood that serves xiao long bao and pan fried dumplings! I've been eyeing this restaurant for quite some time but I'm never hungry when I drive past to stop by. Service is okay. Waited about ten minutes and no one walked past my area to get the bill. I end up going up to the counter to pay. Ambiance is nice and clean, as it should since they're pretty new. Could use a few more tables, it's pretty spacious inside. Dan Dan noodle was quite disappointing. It's pretty bland and nothing to remember it by. So much for being spicy. Xiao long bao was good but not enough soup inside. Also, every time I bite into it, it reminds me of a hair salon who is getting a perm. If you know the scent, you will know what I mean. They serve the sauce on the side so you don't have to mix your own. Though, I would have enjoyed some sliced ginger with it. Pan fried dumplings was the star of the show and I would come back for it, if I'm craving. However, it's not the best I've ever had. The best I had was in Montreal but we're in Katy Cinco Ranch so just gotta have to deal! read more

This is my go-to spot for steamed dumplings - hands down the best in the area. I always go for the pork and shrimp dumplings. The skin is perfectly cooked, and the filling is juicy, tender, and absolutely delicious. They even give you a side of peanuts, which are always fresh and crunchy. The only thing I'd suggest is a better sauce - they usually just serve soy sauce. But honestly, I don't mind because I prefer making my own sauce anyway, so it works for me! I've also tried their chow mein and scallion pancakes, both of which are great. Their menu is pretty extensive, but I always come back to my favorite dumplings. I typically order takeout, but the dining area is decent if you choose to eat in. To the restaurant, please keep up the fantastic quality and don't compromise on the taste. I'm a loyal regular! read more

So my wife, her sister and I went a week ago no knowing what to expect. This location has been several different sushi restaurants and none stuck. But we like sushi and rolls and dumplings so we face it a try. We started with the cucumber salad and egg rolls and scallion pancakes. Spring rolls were ok, I don't like cucumber anything until it's a pickle but the ladies said it was very good. But the scallion pancakes were dang good. And it's more like a crepe or thin tortilla than pancake. Very good. Main course - we shared the vegetable dumplings and pork n cabbage dumplings, both pan fried. They come out all connected together as shown in the pic. The pork was my favorite. Warning - they come out hot, very hot. Let them cool a min. It was so good we went back today to try other items. I started with the potato n shrimp bites (can't remember the exact name). These were amazing. She had the cucumber salad again. For the dumplings, we tried the beef and onion. Again, they are hot. Definitely had an onion flavor. Pork n cabbage still my favorite. They have a full bar. Nice. No lunch menu. Can't wait to go back and try other things I've never had like the Chinese fried chicken. read more
