👍👍 I’m from Asia, and this is kind of like European dumplings, not like the Asian ones. But I have to say, they’re really tasty! If you like dumplings, this is a place I would like to recommend. The place is a bit small, and cannot have a reservation as I know. Also, there are some special beers here. People often mention dumplings, Great, good, dishes, staff, friendly, price, tasty, nice, service,

    Friendly staff but the food isn't anything special. Pretty blend (missing flavour) dumplings. Maybe I'm spoiled after living in Asia for 6 years. Also with the vegetarian duck pancakes we kind of expected the thick and sticky hoisin sauce again lacking flavour.

    If you are crazy about dumplings, this is the place to visit. Great location, friendly staff. By all means, go wild, lots of dishes to try and we found all of them great.

    Extremely good. The food selections are well thought off. Not cheap frozen stuff one could imagine. I’m glad they made the steam dumplings to be so good! Man’s don’t kiss the sesame eggplant! That’s so yummy!

    Great place, possibility to take different dishes because portions aren't big and price are low. Very friendly staff. Recommend, pork dumplings are amazing.

  • 4/5 Toro L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dumplings, they're not freshly made (frozen) but that doesn't take away the taste. My favorites are the beef and porc dumplings! Great taste!! For side dishes, I would advice you to take the wakame, they're quite generous with it. You can also order special drinks, like a St Bernardus Tokyo. In short very good food, friendly people who work there but a little pricy when you dine in. I would recomend doing delivery (wich is way cheaper) you have to steam the dumplings and buns yourself but it's a great and fun experience.

    Could be described as a dumpling cafe. The hostess/owners were very friendly and the setting is very casual. However couldn't justify the prices for the portion sizes. If price is no issue this place comes recommended as the dumplings taste decent

    Little asian bar specializing in dumplings and gyoza 🥟 Very tasty, perfect for a fast lunch. The spicy eggplant was delicious!

    Small tasty meals are what you'll get. Benches outside are available and the street is one of the best in Utrech to eat on because of its architecture and wide road for people watching! They will try to modify food for gluten allergies.

    The back part of the restaurant is very beautiful but food/price wise was a disappointment. You pay a lot for the quantity you get, 6€ for each set of dumplings (usually 3 or 4 dumplings) but you don’t even get your stomach half full after eating two sets, you would need at least twice the amount to get satisfied but that becomes way too expensive. Taste wise, it was ok, nothing special beside the beef which was good but also the most expensive, 2 beef dumplings for 6€.

  • 1/5 Adam A. 1 year ago on Google
    Disgusting taste of food.(hard to say what was inside) Size of this "dumplings" is a joke. They don't even see difference between black and green tea.

  • 5/5 Florentina B. 11 months ago on Google
    The dishes are absolutely delicious, fresh and aromatic! We loved every single dish we ordered. Everything is in the right amount, which makes each dish feel very tasteful and healthy!

  • 3/5 maïté h. 1 year ago on Google
    In short: too expensive for the amount you get but tasty. We ordered a lot of dumplings and buns but they were all quite small (1 dumpling in any other restaurant equals 1 and a half dumplings here) in the end we were still hungry even tho we already spent 22 euro pp. (didn't order any more and went to mcdonalds instead 😅) The wine is also very pricy 😬 it was good wine tho. To sum it up, taste was nice but won't go there again for a full meal. Maybe only for a snack.

  • 5/5 Lena M. 10 months ago on Google
    Heavenly dumplings for a fair price! Super kind and helpful staff. Not a lover of spicy food and plenty of non-spicy options! Would recommend! Do make a reservation if you want to be sure!

  • 5/5 Rouba K. 10 months ago on Google
    Super cool place, super tasty food.

  • 5/5 Laura M. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to have lunch! I loved everything! If I have to find a defect, I would have loved eating all dumplings, but I can't, I am lactose allergic and only Vegan ones have no milk, butter, cheese, etc. I would like you to take into consideration to make also shrimp dumplings and meet dumplings without lactose ❣️🤩 The original dish doesn't have lactose. Thanks

    Great location, Very cute interior, super friendly service. It was my first time eating at a place like this, ordered a lot of different dishes and finished every single one of them. Perfect amount of food for what you pay. Will definitely come back some time!

  • 4/5 Stephanie 8 months ago on Google
    We passed by the place and I was feeling nostalgic with how the place is set up like my old school cafeteria, of course it was with more tasteful decorations. Delicious dumplings, the skins were soft and thin, the filling was flavorful, especially the beef one. The silk tofu was my second favorite. Unfortunately, the portion is small for its price, like small tapas, but they do look like they're made fresh by hand. I think to be satisfied you would need to order at least 5 dishes, so I wouldn't recommend dinner but to meet up, talk, drink, and snack.

    Had a delicious brunch buffet on a rainy December Saturday. Buffet consisted of really delicious vegetable dishes, pumpkin/Parmesan cakes and a leek soup. Very fair price for all you can eat buffet and a drink. Cozy and cute interior. Friendly staff.

    Great Korean restaurant with lots of variety…… also many veg and vegan options….. must try

  • 4/5 Anna P. 2 years ago on Google
    5 euros for a teeny tiny bowl of miso soup is such a rip off! Didn’t expect from Steamy Windows. But their dumplings are the best.

  • 4/5 Plyfa I. 1 year ago on Google
    We love the vibe at this restaurant💛 the staff was nice and helpful. I love how you can order and pay everything through your phone from the start. And I like the pork dumplings! It was a good one🥰🥰🥰

  • 4/5 Matthias T. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff, there's nice seating available outside or in the hall. Nice dumplings but some were a bit pricey for the quantity you get. Quality was good.

    (Translated by Google) Discovered today in Ghent. Thought we were going to drink a glass of wine but could not resist the antipasti 😋 Too bad we were too early for the "Aperitivo Time" (daily from 5 to 6 p.m.) so definitely have to go back. Extremely sympathetic chef and pleasant environment. Downstairs you can on the street side with open windows, view of the water. A la prossima! (Original) Vandaag ontdekt in Gent. Dachten gaan een wijntje drinken maar konden toch niet weerstaan aan de antipasti 😋 Jammer dat we te vroeg waren voor de "Aperitivo Time" (dagelijks 17-18h) dus moeten zeker nog eens terug. Uiterst sympathieke chef en gezellig kader. Beneden kan je aan de straatkant met open ramen, zicht op het water. A la prossima!

  • 4/5 Philippe P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place for an aperitif or small bite (to continue the dinner with a nice pizza in the neighboring Eat, Love, Pizza for example) Cozy interior, friendly service, normal prices. (Original) Leuke plaats voor een apero of kleine hap (om bvb daarna in het naastgelegen Eat,Love, Pizza het diner verder te zetten met een lekkere pizza) Gezellig interieur, vriendelijke bediening, normale prijzen.

  • 4/5 Sarah V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly survive and tasty dishes, but the menu was confusing towards portion size, so we ended up spending much more money than intended because we were still hungry

  • 1/5 Evan V. 4 years ago on Google
    Worst meal and worst service ever.

  • 5/5 Maciej K. 4 years ago on Google
    Deli rosted veggie buffet for a good price. Cute interior, nice service, feels very cozy there. We had great relaxing time there, didn't feel like moving.

  • 1/5 Thierry S. 4 years ago on Google
    Disgusting food. Service what is that? Please don’t ever go there. It should have 0 star rating instead of one.

👍👍 « Luxury fries 🍟 » and well it is quite expensive. But I’d say it is worth it at least once. It is the price for exceptional fries 😉. The fries were absolutely delicious, and well cooked.
