Supreme Dumplings (Katy) — Restaurant in Katy

Nut allergy friendly - they label allergens! A dessert has nuts, as does the tan tan noodles.

Reservation recommended!

Another famous dumpling chain arrives in Houston! I knew this place looked familiar when I saw the menu - I wrote an extensive review for their Bellevue location last year!

I was invited to join the soft opening for this location on the second evening. We were promptly seated. Parking is somewhat difficult in the plaza, but not impossible if you're willing to walk a bit.

Time-to-Appetizers: 11 Minutes Time-to-Entrees: 13 Minutes Time-to-XLB: 14 Minutes

I heard that they took a little longer on Day 1, but our service was very quick! The times are decently aligned with my past experience in Bellevue. One small surprise was being served our vegetables and entrees before our Xiao long bao (soup dumplings). I would prefer being able to start with the XLB as an appetizer.

I tried some different things compared to the other location. Previous review highlighted the Hot & Spicy Soup and Crab XLB as being very good.

General Bao Improvement: I'm not a fan of whatever paper they're using. It sticks too much to the bao and therefore leads to tearing when you try to pick it up. I think that could be improved. (-0.5 for the Baos)

Szechuan Spicy Xiao Long Bao (4.5/5): Seriously no sauce needed here! It comes with a fantastic peppercorn kick and is extremely flavorful. One of the most unique XLB flavors I've had.

Black Truffle & Chicken Xiao Long Bao (4/5): I don't think I'd order this again for the value, but it was also quite a unique flavor. Very pricey for what it is but the truffle comes through and they are tasty.

Truffle Mushroom Roll (4.5/5): Biggest surprise of the night was a recommendation from the table next to us. The best way I can describe this is a weightier, fried spring roll. And I'm all about it. Dips well with the normal soy sauce-vinegar mix you'd have for an XLB too.

Pork Wonton Noodle Soup (4/5, partner 5/5): I have to highlight that this was my partner's favorite dish. For me, the wontons were nice and light but a little bland, and the noodles stuck together a bit too much. But once you got it apart, the noodles actually took on a great seafood flavor. Ended up liking this more than expected.

Taiwanese Cold Noodle (Spicy) (3.5/5): I didn't think this was anything crazy and needed more vegetables and meat, but I also didn't have the sesame sauce with it.

Stir Fry String Beans (5/5): Still excellently crispy and very sharable. Must-get vegetable side if you like veggies.

Chocolate Melt Xiao Long Bao (??/5): I admit we didn't order this but another table let us try one each. It comes with 6 but I don't think I could handle more than one. It's very sweet and explodes with chocolate in your mouth like a melted Lindt chocolate. Great experience, too intense to have more than one haha.

Onyx Lava Custard Buns with Gold Flakes (4.5/5): Comes with a set of 3. Fantastic light and not too sweet dessert. Very picturesque too.

Drinks: The lychee Green Tea actually had very nice lychee notes. It was a tad sweet for me, and the drink was served warm with ice instead of chilled. (3.5/5)

Last but definitely not least, a shout-out to our fantastic and attentive server Lila for great service.

Overall, most of the dishes we had were very good. It's a bit pricier but comes with some unique twists on Xiao long bao and many dishes are quite sharable. Service was friendly and attentive. Supreme Dumplings was very popular in Bellevue when I was there and I think it's a great option in...

Happy Grand Opening Day!

Overall, the place is good. It was clean, the decorations are nice, and presentation was good.

Food overall is 7.5/10. It was good but nothing that stood out.

We had the fried green beans, and I really like they put mushrooms in there. 8/10

The beef shank was okay, it was soft but not really worth it since you don’t get much. It was served on top of some cucumber and sauce but it just tasted too oily and not flavorful. 7/10

The cucumber salad tasted like something you get from the store. For a Chinese inspired place, the cucumbers tasted like kimchi. 6/10

Their Dan Dan noodles was okay 6/10. It needs to have a more flavorful impact.

We had the spicy xiao long bao, it was good; but I like the crab and pork one better. It had a more interesting flavor. Both were a little dry on the outside, it just looked like they plopped it on the serving steam basket but not cook it in there. They ran out of the truffle and chicken one by 11:30, even though they’ve just opened 30 mins beforehand, so we didn’t get to try that. 8/10

Our server Felix was sweet and made sure we got everything and constantly checked on us. Definitely ask for him when you come in! The team overall were kind and nice. They look like it’s their first time serving but they’re eager and hospitable. I do think they need to sharpen their looks just a bit especially in these crucial beginning times of the...

Nestled conveniently in Katy Asian Town—just a dumpling’s toss from I-10 and the Grand Parkway—Supreme Dumplings delivers an experience that’s equal parts comforting and refined. It’s the kind of place where your taste buds stand at attention, and your inner food critic starts reaching for fancy adjectives before the first basket even hits the table.

The pork xia long bao arrives like delicate parcels of happiness, each one bursting with a rich, savory broth that could probably broker world peace if served at the U.N. The shrimp and pork xia long bao elevates the experience further, with a subtle oceanic sweetness that mingles perfectly with the umami of the pork. The spicy cucumber salad is a crisp and refreshing interlude—cool, fiery, and oddly meditative. Then comes the braised beef noodle, where the broth is deep and aromatic, the noodles satisfyingly springy, and the beef so tender it practically applies for early retirement from chewing. The stir-fried greens add a touch of balance and virtue—because one must occasionally pretend to eat responsibly.

If I had to skip one dish, it would be the pan-fried Supreme. Not bad, just not as transcendent as its fellow companions—or perhaps I was too blissfully full by then to truly appreciate it. Either way, Supreme Dumplings easily earns a spot among the culinary gems of Katy. Bring friends, bring an appetite, and maybe bring...
