Steam offers a mix of modern and traditional Chinese cuisine. The food is generally praised, with great flavors, savory, fresh, and satisfying. Highlights include the crispy shrimp balls and steamed scallop dumplings, pea shoot and prawn dumplings, and the unbelievable mapo tofu. Some dishes are hit or miss. The pricing is described as a bit high, especially for the smaller dishes, and dim sum prices are still pricey. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and warm, modern, and clean inside. Service can be a little slow at times. It offers dog-friendly outdoor seating.
