    Out for birthday lunch- dim sum yum yum.
    Antonio D.

    You can get tasty dim sum right in Middletown. I always seek out dim sum places when we travel. Boston, NYC, San Fran, DC. Tried places in each of those cities. Steamed brings a delicious dim sum option right to central CT. It doesn't have the selection or atmosphere of the big city dim sum palaces, but the big pork buns at Steamed will stand up to any I've tried. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, a dim sum sampler and 2 big pork buns. Toni got a boba tea. The soup was very tasty. Huge serving, lots of meat bits and noodles. The only downside the meat was a little grisly. Great flavor- not so great texture. Each of the 9 dim sum dumplings was well cooked and tasty. The dipping sauces available added soy, vinegar or spicy. The pork buns were fluffy, and huge with a good sized portion of pork filling. It seemed reasonable at $60 for all that food. We brought home leftovers. The place is not huge but it was clean and the staff was very friendly. Order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. We will definitely be back. I can't wait.

    I consider dumplings a food group - especially during the fall season. Something about eating a beautifully wrapped warm morsel of goodness is the most comforting to me...which makes sense that I needed to try Steamed out! After a busy day of apple picking, my partner and I decided to try out Steamed. We ordered the pork soup dumpling. These were so good. The wrapper was not overly thick and it was FULL of delicious fatty soup. We also ordered the dumpling sampler which provided 2 of every dumpling on their menu. We really enjoyed the pumpkin dumpling and the hargow! The winner for me was definitely the Chengdu dumplings. They were umami with a bit of a kick. I 100% recommend ordering this if you get a chance to visit! Service was wonderful. You order at the window and the team will bring your food to the table you choose! At the end, you just leave everything and go. Super easy. Super quick. My only comment would be that I wish the table tops were not as sticky. They definitely clean the tables - but I found the tables overly sticky and unpleasant to touch. I also deterred from sitting in specific seats as they would have sauce drippings on it. The team was super quick to address this and cleaned them up though! Overall, this place was super yummy! I'm excited to come back for more Chengdu dumplings!

    The food? Yeah, it was ok. The service? Extremely awful. Would not go back for sure because the whole experience wasn't good

    Pork, garlic and chive dumplings
    Ian L.

    I really want to like this place just a little more than I actually did but I'll give them the 4-Star review, 3.5 in my mind though. I've had plenty if dim sum in New York, Boston, near the casinos and even a decade and a half ago in West Hartford if anyone remembers that place. I respect the effort and the convience of having dim sum or any dumplings close to my area but this did not impress me at all. Prices were a little high in my opinion, didn't help the dumplings were only OK to me but were still really good to others! The pork wonton soup though, it was amazingly light and super hot. Loved that one. Service was confusing whether you get served or go up to the counter. But service was also very friendly. The flavors and textures in the dumplings were there but just barely. I seriously just wasn't impressed especially for the price considering where I've been it tasted better and was much cheaper. But for up here in Middletown, OK.

    This review is solely off the bubble tea. After a stroll on the main St, we came to steamed which is down a side street off the main road. We got a matcha tea latte and the brown sugar latte both with pearls. It took a decent amt of time to make even though we were the only people in the restaurant. The drinks come in a tall container which is different. The matcha latte flavor was great! Good matcha flavor and not too sweet (I did ask for it half sweet). The brown sugar was just ok. We've had better tasting ones before. It didn't have as strong of a caramel flavor. Where the drinks went terribly wrong was the pearls. First of all, there were barely any in the drink and then half of them were well cooked and the other half were these mushy enlarged pearls that seemed that they were made the day before and left to soak or something. At $6 a drink, these were overpriced and the quality was bad. We won't be returning.

    Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Irene H.

    Decent spot to satisfying your dumpling cravings but wouldn't recommend for noodle soups. We ordered a wide selection of the dumplings - a unique one was the pumpkin and shrimp one which I actually really enjoyed. The chendu dumplings was the closest they had to wonton in chili sauce but it was a good second option! Although the sauce was not very spicy. The skins on all the dumplings were done very well and held well. The soup dumplings are usually what I judge for a dumpling house and these did not disappoint. Although the skin was slightly thicker than I would have liked, the skin to filling ratio and overall filling was quite yummy. They didn't supply the vinegar dipping sauce unless you ask for it and that's crucial to pairing with the soup dumplings! The beef noodle soup was disappointing. The type of noodle they used didn't soak up the flavor well so unless you spoon in soup right after, the flavor of the soup was lost in just the noodle. The flavor of the soup itself also wasn't what I had expected. So I would probably skip the noodles from this spot next time and just indulge on their dumplings.

    This is a very tiny place and the inside looks like it was put together from a shopping trip at TJ Maxx. Figured the place looked authentic and the dim sum was made steamed in crates like usual. Till the food was put down and noticed it was all made in the same shapes with no real effort put in. The food had no taste at all, unseasoned and definitely not worth the price. Honestly, even the soy sauce wasn't even salted like it was water-down. The staff didn't really care to acknowledge us and seemed like they preferred to go orders. Got a bubble tea since the images looked good. However, that didn't even have a tea taste to it but just like they dumped the entire sugar shaker into it and mixed with water. Not sure what is happening with this place but if you can't even season your food or make small efforts then whats the point. Will never come back or recommend even if you're desperate.

    Dry Noodles w.Soy Bean and Pork Paste
    Chris H.

    Let me just preface this review by saying that I understand this Steamed location is still in its soft opening phase and there will no doubt be plenty of room for improvement. My hope is that some of this feedback can be incorporated into their final products. For starters, a lot of their dishes could use a lot more flavor, namely the chengdu wontons, the chilled cucumbers, and the dry noodles. Depth of flavor was noticeably missing from the aforementioned dishes with no clear overtones of what flavor profile they wanted to convey. This left them feeling bland overall. Portion sizes were small as well, especially considering how much they were charging. I will, however, give them props for their amazing har gow (shrimp dumplings) which were plump, juicy, and had the most delicate crystal wrapper. No change needed there! I would let Steamed figure out their dish composition first but would be down to come and check it out again in a few more months!

    Lots of different buns!
    Jessica P.

    Going to Steamed was my first ever experience with dim sum / dumplings. I went with a few friends and we all ordered 2-3 different buns which was great because we all got to sample almost the whole menu. The soup buns were my favorite. I would come back just for those! The vegetarian ones are not my favorite and there were a few that were too dry. That might be just my preference. I will come back here if I'm ever in the mood for dim sum again. Thanks Steamed!

    Pork Wonton Soup - light broth with strong seaweed flavor
    David L.

    We ate at lunch at the Madison location and enjoyed it so much we came back here for lunch the very next day when we realized they had another location. The dumplings were still delicious and the sampler platter is great to share. The wonton soup is very unique with a strong seaweed presence and lighter broth than many typical American Chinese greasy food joints. But...unlike Madison, the service here was really disappointing. Despite being the only patrons in the place we could barely get the young woman off her cell phone to help identify which dumplings were which, get refills of our water, get plates to eat our dumpling on, or chili paste/condiments, etc. Maybe it was an off day. The menu is very limited, but if you want a dumpling fix, you could do a lot worse than this small local joint.

This was my second experience recently at a Hot Pot, but it felt incredibly different. This was somewhere that feels more intimate and private, it's honestly a quiet place. Your server will hand you a paper to mark down the broths, meats, veggies, appetizers and main dishes to order. You have the option to choose "All You Can Eat" for $31.99 or choose individually. Note *If someone orders the "All You Can Eat," everyone at the table has to as well. Please do be mindful that this is a 2 hr limit (to order) if you decide to choose this. I ordered the Beef Brisket Radish, and it was incredibly delicious. My friend had ordered the Oxtail w. Wolfberry, and that one was tasty too! Between meats, we had ordered sliced beef, swai fish, & shrimp balls. Now with veggies, the enoki, fresh corn, bok choy, n bean sprouts were great. Finally, for main dishes I had ordered some vermicelli, rice, an egg, and rice cake. Anytime you are interested in something additional, you can press the call button to the side. You can walk to the back to get sauces (mix to make your own concoction) to dip your meats or veggies in. I'd recommend to add a bit of sugar to your sauce. The whole experience was great, our waitress was incredibly kind and gave me some pointers to the stove. It functions through a button feature on a remote to the side of the stove. I would most definitely come to eat again sometime in the future!

    Just not a fan of the whole DIY experience. The service was fine. The food seemed fresh and there…read morewas plenty. I just don't think Korean is my thing. The ambiance is what I would describe as unremarkable.
