Wonderful local Asian restaurant with homemade dumplings. Took my 11 year old on a “date” and really enjoyed. He got the beef dumplings and they were delicious and juicy! I tried the pork and shrimp dumplings. Mine were a little dry, and the dumpling dough was a little too sticky for my liking. The “Beef on fire” appetizer was an interesting bite. The flaky pastry was nice. The inside had beef, cheese, and sautéed onions. It could have been more flavorful.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Came here to Dumplings and Tea for the first time to sampled the menu. Service was prompt, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Dumplings were great, especially the pork and shrimp dumplings and the beef dumplings. The takoyaki was delicious and didn’t burn my mouth like I am used to at other places. The Bao was fluffy and flavorful. We ordered the Beef on Fire on a whim and it was delightful, like if a hot pocket carried no connotation of depression and actually felt good for the spirit. We got the Taro Milk Tea and the Mountain High Milk Tea, which were perfect. My lovely girlfriend is a boba connoisseur, and had no notes for the integrity of the bobas. We also got an assortment the dessert dumplings, though we did not know which were which, so we do not know which ones we liked; though we do know we liked some of them :)

We love this place. The food is always great and quick. Some of the best tea we've had. We probably spend more than the average person here, but that's because we can never decide what we want to try and end up ordering it all! We live in Pevely, about 40 mins away and have no problem driving this far. The staff is great about explaining dishes and making recommendations, or if you want you can scan the QR and order right from your table. Highly recommend.
