Reviews Summary
Steamy Windows is lauded for its delicious and diverse range of dumplings, with many praising the fresh ingredients and unique flavor combinations. Diners consistently highlight the friendly and efficient service, contributing to a lively and cozy atmosphere. However, some reviews suggest that portions can be on the smaller side, and the restaurant's popularity can lead to it becoming crowded and warm.
"If I could have given 6* I would, every time.
Food was spot on, think me and my friend had tried most of the dumplings on the menu by the time we finished, the beef was definitely my favourite though & the salted custard bun for dessert was a great way to finish off the meal.
Awesome selection of beers and wines, sake with the staff giving some helpful recommendations.
Service was really good, lovely friendly staff!
Thanks for a fantastic evening and keep smashing it! 💪🏻"

"Very well deserved 5 stars, in this case it's a pity that a higher rating can't be given. Delicious food, fresh and with good quality ingredients. With this quality of meals, there is no need to describe too much, the food defends itself. Considering the quality of the food and the location, good value for money. Helpful and very nice service."

"We had mushroom dumplings and then the shrimp ones. Both were delicious. Cocktails were excellent as well. This seems to be a local spot and for good reason."
