Steamies Dumplings

We're all door dashing everthing these days, right? Just looking for a snack and I ran across Steamies Dumplings. Only a few items on the menu, so I ordered most of it. The food arrived hot and fresh, appealing presentation and aromas as soon as I opened the bag. The people in the house who eat pork raved about the Pork & Cabbage Potstickers and we were all charmed by the perfect finger sized bites of Crispy Scallion Pancakes . The HK Street-style Noodle Rolls are exactly as decribed - slices of rolled up noodles drizzled with an incredible sweet and umami sauce. For me the real star of the show was the Taiwanese Beef Taco It was insanely delicious. It took both hands to hold it and the meat was juicy and savory, with a smoky sweet sauce. I kept telling the others in the house how much I liked it. I'll remember this place and I'll be back soon

The food was hot and fresh. Warms the soul. Sticky rice 5/5 - it is the essence of zong-zi. Very delicious, full of meats, even had those extremely tiny asian shrimp. Soup dumplings 5/5 - beautifully made, flavorful, and they were pretty large too!! Potsticker Dumplings 5/5 - i got the trio of pork & cabbage, vegan, and their special of the day (wagyu beef). The pork were my favorite. The little girl who took my order (perhaps the daughter of the owner) is so adorable and professional. So mature for her age! Overall, this place is very homey vibes. I will be back to try everything else on the menu.

a must try! very clean and lovely atmosphere. i wanted to take every frozen bag home! i definitely recommend the soup dumplings and hibiscus soda. they had complimentary water and chili oil/sriracha.

$12.95 lunch special (chicken & shiitake dumplings and the soy sauce pan fried noodles) and some frozen dumplings to go! Best dumplings in town by far, and a great deal for lunch :)

My wife and daughter are dumpling snobs and are very particular about what they seem a good dumpling. Needless to say Steamies crushed it. My daughter and friend took their first bites and applauded. Also throw in the fantastic service and welcoming vibe and it ranks at the top of our list. And that seasonal honey ginger Thai...yes please

It was fun to walk in to a nice greeting and a quietly humming kitchen making all sorts of tasty treats. Seriously next level quality!

I called ahead because I really wanted the soup dumplings and read somewhere that they only have them on Sundays. The guy said that they usually only have them on the weekends but they had some today. In total, I had the hibiscus lychee soda, the Thai basil tofu dumplings, soup dumplings and the soy sauce pan fried noodles. So good.

Ordered the chicken and shiitake dumplings alongside the soy sauce pan fried noodles. Both DELICIOUS! Great flavor and portion size. Definitely going to go back to order the Shanghai soup dumplings- they looked amazing too! Loved the atmosphere as well!

Steamies Dumplings is always a go-to spot for amazing dumplings! They’re fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every time.

Service is lightning-fast and friendly, and the vibe is cozy yet lively—perfect for a quick bite or a fun meal with friends.

Absolutely love Steamies! The dumplings are always delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The place has such a warm and welcoming vibe, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about good food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend if you’re a dumpling fan (or even if you’re not—these might convert you!). Definitely coming back for more!

Steamies Dumplings is awesome, and the staff really makes it stand out! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The service is quick, and they always go the extra mile to make sure you’re happy. Plus, the dumplings are always fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!

This place was incredible!! Such friendly staff, very attentive. Dumplings were incredible, and the large portion was perfect for a lunch. Definitely worth a stop :)

Love Steamies! We get the frozen dumplings and make them at home. Super easy, delicious and quick .

My favorite small place in Austin, been coming here since before Covid. A few orders of Dumplings, a scallion pancake, HK noodles, and an order of smashed cucumbers is the perfect date meal to share for two.

Great selection of dumplings, scallion pancakes, Cucumber salad. Smaller seating area, but perfect for a fun dumpling sampling date night. You can also bring frozen dumplings home after. House made sauces were a huge bonus! Would recommend adding this dumpling spot to your list!

I generally don’t leave many reviews for restaurants but this is by far my favorite place to eat in Austin. I come weekly and I don’t even like going out to eat. The food is so fresh and healthy. The family that owns it is so kind. The quality of the food is unmatched, they make everything in sight with fresh ingredients. I’ve tried the entire menu and it’s all delicious but some favorites are the braised chicken rice bowl - the chicken is so tender and delicious. The chicken shiitake potstickers and the beef taco. You can’t go wrong. Ok rant over.

I had the smashed cucumber salad and vegan dumplings. Both were super flavorful and delicious. Reasonable prices and super friendly staff.

Delicious dumplings. The handmade soup dumplings were juicy, plump and delicious. The pork and cabbage dumplings were pretty good. The sticky rice with Chinese sausage was a little dry. We were greeted by a very nice lady as we walked in. She was very pleasant as she took our order. After your order you help yourself to the condiment station and water. The house sauce and chili oil are the way to go. Portions are a little small for the price, but expected for the location. There are only a handful of annoyingly small circle tables. The bench along the wall is an efficient way to seat more people in the small space, but the tables don't have enough space for two people, their food, sauces, drinks and utensils. Larger rectangle tables would allow more surface area in the same space. With the tiny tables, its like they don't want you to order too much food. Just come for your dumpling snack. This is not a really full meal much less a family meal place. The tiny stools are uncomfortable and couples end up sitting side by side on the bench. Maybe it's so that you don't stay long and they can turn the tables quicker. I think they are focusing on their takeout / pickup frozen dumplings. Parking is difficult with the shared lot with all the other restaurants and 99 Ranch.

Best dumplings I've had in Austin. Absolutely delicious handmade dumplings and more with locally sourced ingredients, which you can eat in their small cute cafe OR take home frozen in bulk. The staff was helpful, including someone super friendly who might have been the owner, who was clearly passionate about food and enthusiastically answered questions from some other diners. He told me the secret to good dumpling sauce (!) and made sure I tried the chili garlic sauce with the vegan dumplings, an absolutely divine combination. Not too spicy, not too tangy, the perfect compliment to the tofu veggie filling. I'm also glad I tried their in-house soda, the pineapple ginger was sweet and fresh. I know this shopping center has a lot of cool places to try, but don't miss out on this little gem! They've got scallion pancakes and a variety of other offerings too, but the dumplings are the real stars. Made with love! I snagged this adorable happy dumpling pin, too, it's totally the expression I had on my face at the end. 🥰

First timer! I got everything that was recommended to us. Service was great and the food was sooo good! I definitely will be back to try more from the menu.

i can’t believe i had never heard of this place before because it is so delicious!! we got the soup dumplings, street noodles, and the scallion pancakes and all of it was amazing. the portions were great too. the owner’s mom was working when we went and she chatted with us for a while and was so sweet!! ill definitely be back here, couldn’t recommend this place more

Excellent! Top quality dumplings at fast food prices; this place is a gem. They have soup dumplings, Asian tacos, put stickers, bao, fresh sodas, and more. Will definitely put Steamies in my rotation. Please try this place; I don't want it to disappear like so many fine Austin restaurants that don't get a good online following.

We have been enjoying Steamies since their farmers market days. Always consistently delicious. We take a monthly steamies trip to stock up on frozen dumplings. Staff is always friendly

Lots of thoughts, wasn't obsessed with the scallion pancake taco, which is what was recommended to me. Great lunch special. I did like the steamed dumplings, but I wanted more for a spot with so much fame. I'd come back to try the soup dumplings!

Pretty good. Loved the tacos and the pineapple ginger soda. The noodles and the soup dumplings were kind of lacking but with enough sauce anything can taste good 💯 Very convenient place to get take out. No wait staff, order at the counter, very simple. If you dine in they will bring the food to you. Help yourself for water and sauce

We got the vegan and soup dumplings along with scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes were crispy on the outside but they were doughy on the inside. It tasted good but the texture felt off. The vegan and soup dumplings were good. We were hoping to try the rice noodles but they were out of stock. Something to try for the next time. They have a decent selection of dumplings.

e and a friend stopped by because Tiktok said! the soup dumplings and scallion pancakes are a must. the cucumber salad was only ok. the Soy noodles tasted like air. I would come back 🤷🏾‍♀️

We waited an incredibly long time, and honestly, the food was just okay, especially considering how expensive it was. The standout was definitely the sauces—they were amazing, with the in-house chili crisp being a highlight. The scallion pancake taco with beef was unique and worth a try, along with the different specials. But overall, I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Service was good. Taste was good enough, but $15 for the rice bowl with chicken wasn't worth it.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. It is a neat little place. Big windows where you can see the dumping making process, there was 3 workers making the dumplings when we walked in and I really appreciate the openness of the prep area, giving patrons a glimpse of how the dumplings are freshly made. So we ordered 4 items and a Guava soda. First off.. the item that we came for, the HK street style noodle roll - this is 80% authentic to the origin, and I'm from HK. (Kudos for serving it with a skewer, that is absolutely the authentic way to serve this!) The other 3 items ordered were soy sauce pan fried noodle, pork and cabbage potstickers, and Taiwanese beef taco. The pork and cabbage potsticker is good, the soy sauce pan fried noodle was so-so, if you have had this exact dish at any Chinese restaurant before, you will realize that their version of this dish is too wet, and that they used the wrong kind of soy sauce-*It is not suppose to be sweet.* Finally, the Taiwanese beef taco... It's confusing. The combination of the brisket, the pickled carrot, green onion on top, and the burned scallion pancake-ish taco shell all together in one bite is a little odd to me. It feel/taste like this combo doesn't fit together in my humble opinion. But then again, I'm by no means any kind of Master chef or professional food critic. As for pricing.. I think it is a bit on the pricey side for the portion size and quality of food. *please see pictures* This meal with a 15% gratuity came out to be $42 and change.

I was very excited to try this place since I love all things dumplings. Overall the food was fresh but unfortunately not very flavorful. I ordered the soup dumplings, pork and cabbage potstickers, scallion pancakes, and cucumber salad. A few of the soup dumplings were somewhat pink on the inside which made me concerned that they weren’t cooked all the way but I could be wrong. Service is very kind and I like the concept, but I don’t think I’ll be back.

I’ve had my fair share of scallion pancakes and unfortunately these were too thick, not crispy enough, and overly salty, too much green in the ratio. The potstickers were also salty. On the other hand, the cucumber salad was delicious, as well as the soup dumplings. I did not like the plastic plates the food come in though.

Of course I had to try a place called Steamies, purporting to make what looks like yummy hand made gyoza dumplings. ...but I wasn't in the mood for their star attraction, so I opted to get two of their other dishes. Two of their other, very simple dishes. The sticky rice with Chinese sausage, shiitake mushrooms and dried shrimps was okay. The scallion pancakes were not. They were overcooked, dry, and frankly gross. I'm skeptical that this is what they are meant to taste like. This is such a simple dish, that frankly I'm surprised it was so bad. The pineapple ginger drink was really good, but very sweet, which I love, but others might not. These 2 dishes and a drink was $18 which is kind of high. Maybe their dumplings are the bomb, and perhaps I will stop in some day to try them, but given their attention to the scallion pancakes... it might be a while.

Have only tried their soup dumplings which are $11 for 5. First time I had them they were yummy, second time they had no soup. I had to ask on my last dumpling since I felt bad and it took them more than 10 minutes to redo the singular dumpling. Would have been better if it had more broth like the first time, or like Dumpling World’s soup dumplings. Service was great, they’re all very friendly. Their homemade soda’s are amazing too. The main reason for the lack of 5 stars is that their best selling soup dumplings were underwhelming for the price of almost $2 per dumpling.

Dishes were made from frozen instead of fresh , even I ordered “freshly prepared” dumplings from the menu. Ordered a hongkong street side style sticky rice rolls . Two items at $20. Waited 20 minutes for the dumplings to be done , because the server told me “ they have to be steamed from frozen”

The HK-style noodles first of all tasted ABYSMAL. Secondly, they aren't noodles. They're rice cakes that people eat for a light snack or breakfast back at home. Half of it wasn't even cooked thoroughly. I would bite into a piece and it would be half soft and half stiff. Not to mention the condiments used were not fully authentic either. The sesame seeds and peanut sauce were right though. The scallion pancakes were so dense and slightly burnt too. They should've been cooked on a lower heat for a longer time to give it a little fluffiness and a brown crisp, not a black one. I only gave it two stars because the pricing wasn't too bad and the Shanghai dumplings were decent. Really disappointed as a HK person

Zero enthusiasm upon entering an empty restaurant, we initially thought they were closed or closing. Pork bun was inedible, dumplings were ok but lacking in flavor. Scallion pancake was the only reason for any stars cuz it seemed to be the only thing we did eat entirely

The overall customer service was good. Took over 20 minutes to get my food and the irony of it all was when my soup dumplings arrived, I took a bite expecting hot soup, instead got raw dough and raw pork. I was mortified. The employee was apologetic, refunded me, and even though they were “re-cooking” my soup dumplings, I just couldn’t and had to leave. This was my first time going there and my last. I highly DO NOT recommend, disgusting experience.

Way overpriced dumplings. The original owner of steamies sold the brand awhile back and now the menu is kind of uninspired overpriced Asian fusion. They don’t list their prices / portion for frozen items anywhere so be forewarned it’s $13 for 12oz of dumplings (12 little dumplings) or $45 for a 30oz bag. The quality is good but these prices rival going to a proper dumpling shop like dumpling world and buying there. Parking is also a nightmare. I won’t return.
