Steamboys

This is a cozy little spot for some comfort food and atmosphere which is perfect for the fall weather. We stopped here to grab a bite for a late lunch. We started with their vegetarian seared bao which was so fluffy and moist. The filling had a lot of flavor. My husband got the beef shank which he absolutely loved. The soup had a lot of flavor and the noodles had a great texture to them. I ordered the hot dumpling bowl with vegetable dumplings which were originally not on their menu but they were happy to make them. The dumplings had a lot of flavor but they were a little too spicy for me. Overall it was some good food at a very reasonable price. Do try their tiger sugar tea.

Steam Boys makes fast comfort food that you can eat anytime. Soft Bao buns delicious chicken and wonderful noodles. They have a crunchy fried hot chicken sandwich served on their fluffy Bao that makes an amazing pairing. Their zha jaing noodle dish is so warming and savory I found it to be scrumptious and a generous portion. They are also one of the few places you can get soup dumplings in Nashville. They are pretty solid with a brothy filling and a good chew to the dumpling. Not the best but better than just about anything you can get over here besides Trader Joe's. Do remember the soup dumplings are dine in only. The Service when dining in can be hit or miss since they want you to sit and then come to your table. There is usually just one server and between getting the order and cashing people out it just takes forever if there is any type of crowd. Atmosphere inside is pretty low key. I'd highly recommend takeout unless you are getting the soup dumplings.

Steamboys was a great treat tonight. Super satisfying pan seared dumplings (pork and shrimp) and Seared hot dumpling bowl. The Pork and Beef seared Bao were great. Only downside was the amount of liquid trapped in the beef bao. Other than that it was delicious. The pork bao did not have that issue and were probably my favorite.
