Yum! Small casual diner sort of atmosphere. Simple menu. You can watch them hand make the dumplings! Pork dumplings are my fave… but I haven’t tried them all.

OMG wow. I can tell you this is easily some of the best dumplings i have ever had. Absolutely 💯 delicious 😋
Genuinely the best soup dumplings in STL! The food is phenomenal and the service is great but the wait was slightly long. Still an amazing place to eat out at!

I’ve been to Soup Dumplings STL and have loved it—until my recent visit where this restaurant’s sanitation and food safety was extremely lacking. On a rainy Saturday night, the wait was over an hour (which is fine). However, as the owner was informing our parties of the long wait, we watched her check others out on the touchscreen point of sale system, neglect to wash her hands, and return to making dumplings with her same unwashed bare hands. This unsanitary back-and-forth happened several times on many different dumplings. While I used to love this place, this cross-contamination as well as lack of basic cleanliness was unfortunately enough for me to not eat here again. 🤢😷

Absolutely GREAT place to eat. Food was incredible. It took a bit to get a table because it was a bit busy…… busy because it’s so GOOD! We will be back!!

I really enjoyed the soup dumplings at this location. They taste better than those with Din Tai Fung in the west coast.
I've heard people rave about this place and had high hopes, but it sadly fell way short of the soup dumplings I've at had Din Tai Fung on the West Coast and in Asia. I waited 30+ mins for my food but the dumplings were already cold and dry on the outside. The gentleman taking orders (owner?) was nice and hardworking, but one of the servers went between cleaning tables and working in the kitchen without using gloves or washing her hands.

INCREDIBLE soup dumplings! As a Taiwanese-American who’s tried xiao long bao from all over, I can confidently say this place is the real deal. The fresh dough is perfection, the soup inside is rich and flavorful, and every bite feels authentic and well-crafted. Their chicken kebabs are also fantastic – juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. I really like that they offer chicken xiao long bao so people who can’t eat pork can actually try it. It was very juicy and delicious. They even give soup to every person who comes no matter how much you order.
The spicy sauce deserves a shout-out for actually being spicy and has quite a kick! I have so much respect for how this place stays true to its roots. Unlike so many Chinese restaurants that over-Americanize their food, this spot hasn’t lost its authenticity. They even provide instructions on how to eat xiao long bao, which is perfect for first-timers. Next time I really want to try the braised pork because it looked delicious.
Service is efficient and exactly what you’d expect for a bustling spot like this, and the prices are very reasonable. If you’re looking for genuine Chinese flavors with no compromise, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!!

They obviously cant keep up with the demand. The tables dont get cleaned they dont have enough employees. They have become a victim of their own success.
