Kuai Dumplings & Soups - Chicken Dumplings and Wonton Soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

In a hurry and picked up the wonton soup. Large size and small drink. Decent price for lunch and they include a small frozen yogurt...nice touch. Seating outside the place is plentiful. Cashier super friendly and nice to boot! Little Texas lingo...lol read more

I have not had their lunch menu. But they do serve a great breakfast you can get tacos or make yourself a bowl.

I love the food here and the super quick service is the icing on the cake. Oh wait, the frozen yogurt they give you with your food is but the service is really fast. I typically get the tuna tower which and a seaweed salad. Today I decided to swap the seaweed salad for a side of tofu. The tuna tower is delicious! They make the tuna tower slightly different here and I have no complaints at all. You chose between a small or regular. The small is what I consider a bit more than a normal portion so it is plenty enough and for $7 that's fantastic. They give you the tuna tower not in the shape of a tower but with all ingredients in a bowl like container. They give you avocado, tuna, roe, choice of rice, crab and a few other items I can't remember. This way they serve it is what I believe makes for the large portion. The seaweed salad is good but I don't recommend the tofu. There wasn't too much flavor so I had to add lots of seasoning. They have so many tea options. If you are obsessed with tea as I am then you will absolutely love this place. I think there's 7 different tea options; sweet, unsweetened and even decaf. Let's not forget one of the best parts! The frozen yogurt they give you with your order. Granted its a small cup but it is complimentary and tasty! The froyo they had today was tart and raspberry. You must try this place if you haven't and I'm sure you're a regular if you have. Don't let the long line outside scare you away, you get your food VERY quickly. read more

If you're sick of the sandwich and fast food chains for downtown lunch options, then Kuai will hit the spot. The prices include tax and the ingredients are much healthier. The Spring Roll soup is great and a pho-like alternative for their soups. At under 300 calories, it's wonderful for pho cravings. The edamame is good, and the spring rolls are ok. Siracha is on the counter so you can spice up whatever you order, including the peanut sauce. Be sure to tell them you're a first time visitor and they'll give you a free drink. If you bring a new friend, you also get a free drink. I haven't tried the Ahi Tower bowl yet, but am excited that you can get brown rice which is an option on all their dishes. Enjoy! read more

Good Food :) cant complain - food Is always Fresh , and They are fast at prepping your order . Recommend the ; Marco Polo w/ Brown Rice . and add the Steam Chicken Dumplings !! read more

My favorite is the Thai chicken curry it is a blend of coconut milk and peanuts which gives it a thicker and creamier consistency the most curries. They serve fusion food so it's not traditional but it's always fresh and they have quality ingredients. read more

They located in pacific tower underground in the tunnel. There are several restaurants around it all targeted for office buildings. They have rush hour during lunch time. The line was short and they have great selection of sauce and free ice cream if you have order from them. I have order of dumplings which was average but enjoyed the free ice cream. read more

Kuai Dumplings & Soups - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great place for healthy, savory lunch! Wait is always short and staff is always friendly!

Hey, it's pretty good. I got a cup of pork and shrimp wonton and also the 4-pack of pork dumplings. The wonton soup came with about 4 dumplings which had the shrimp and pork inside. It actually had decent pieces of shrimp in it. The broth and dumplings burned my tongue--it was hot! It came with chopped bok choy. I wish it came with more and also wish it had white pepper. Otherwise, it was very tasty and I finished it all. The dumplings were also good and came with 5 instead of 4 dumplings. My total was $7.50 and for me, this was a bargain. Since I am new to this office, I am glad there is quick, decent and cheap food in the building. I will definitely return next time I get tired of my sack lunch. read more

Tomorrow, I lunch with dumplings! In the not-so-mysterious-as-it-sounds tunnels of downtown Dallas sits this petite and trendy counter that does pretty much one thing pretty well; Kuai Dumplings and Soups make three varieties of a pretty mean dumpling. So much so that starting Monday I had my sites set on this little shop for my third go on Friday when I'm downtown. But they have soups too you say? Who cares about the soup! The dumplings are delicious! Make an order over $7, get a free dessert of frozen yogurt ice cream. Better than Jason's freebee yogurt ice cream, but who cares -- you're there for the dumpling action. And they have ginger ale at the machine --- snap! read more

First off, Kuai is downtown on the concourse level of the Republic Tower so you have to take the escalator down from the street. Once you get down there the restaurant itself is pretty small with no real seating to speak of, but right outside there are tables and chairs that you can use. They are only open for lunch so it supposedly gets really busy and crowded, but when I went it wasn't bad at all. I had five chicken dumplings, hot n sour soup, and the seaweed salad; all of these things were great. The dumplings were tender and flavorful, and there are four different dipping sauces to pick from. The hot n sour soup was great, it has a similar taste to most hot n sour soups you will find, but the ground pork and baby corn in it gives it a better, more unique flavor. The seaweed salad was very tasty, and fresh. I even got a free frozen yogurt with my meal, which was nice. They also have a good selection of iced teas to drink, probably around eight different ones. If you are not a fan of dumplings they also have an assortment of rice bowls to choose from , I went back and had one of these and it was very good. Overall I really liked Kuai's, and if you live/work downtown it would be well worth a trip down there. read more

Probably 4 stars but I'm rounding up because of the awful ratings here - most of the average star ratings don't match with their reviews. This is definitely the best hot and sour soup I've ever had in my life - all the soups are homemade. They are launching a tuna tartar salad and smoked salmon salad - got to sample both and they are both delicious! The dumplings are decent - steamed. They also offer rice bowls, which I hear are delicious. The value is really hard to beat though....$5.50 for 8 dumplings, $3.50 for a bowl of soup! I would be here every week if I worked downtown -it's a little tricky navigating the underground if you aren't familiar, but those willing to go on the quest will be handsomely rewarded! (you also get a free tart yogurt if you're bill is above $7.50!!!) read more

This place is pretty great... It's located in the tunnels downtown, and is about a 2 minute walk from my office. On top of that, they're super fast and super cheap so this is my go-to place when I need to grab lunch really fast and don't want to spend a bunch of money. The food is good too, but I've learned a couple things. They have some really good rice bowls with grilled chicken, veggies and brown or jasmine rice. In a fit of healthfulness, I went for the veggies in place of rice option and will never do that again. While the steamed veggies (pretty much just broccoli and onion) were cooked well, they made the whole thing pretty watery so I could barely taste the sauce. I've had the curry bowl before with rice though, and it was pretty tasty. They're dumpling are really really good and make for a perfect light lunch along with a seaweed salad or some edamame. Like today -- I got a big shrimp summer roll with peanut sauce and some edamame for just $5.00!!!! It's not 5-star cuisine, but it's pretty darn good, especially for the price and service. Oh, and their iced teas are great too!! read more

I've worked in the Comerica tower for more than two years, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover Kuai. I just had one of the tastiest rice bowls of my life: the Thai Chicken Bowl with brown rice. It had an amazing flavor and was the perfect amount of food. I don't know where else you can get as much flavor and quality for $5.50 downtown. Also, when I mentioned it was my first visit as I was asking about different bowls, they gave me a free drink and frozen yogurt cup (both are self-serve). They have a wide selection of teas, and the tart frozen yogurt was great - although I made the mistake of sprinkling heath bar on top (not a good combo). Oh, and the girls at the counter were very friendly. The fact that this place is known for its dumplings makes me all the more excited to come back and try their other stuff. I also want to try the Masala bowl and the banana frozen yogurt. I will definitely be back. read more

Occasionally, I have weeks where I do Kuai for lunch 3-4 times. It's so great to be able to get something other than a sandwich, and they have some healthy, low-cal options. One thing i really appreciate is that, even though Kuai is a small business with only a few locations, its website has nutritional information that's easy to find. You can also get out of here for lunch for less than $10 (or much less than that if you're carrying back to your office and don't get a drink). If you spend more than $7.50 (I think), you get free frozen yogurt. Highly recommend the veggie and pork dumplings. They have 4-5 sauces for dipping, though I do wish they'd put out the traditional vinegar/soy sauce. I've never understood why they don't have it. My go-to lately has been the tuna tower, although I mix it up by getting the thai bowl (red curry sauce with coconut milk and peanut with steamed chicken, basil, and red pepper over rice). I was very excited when they added the Seoul Bowl-- who would've thought you could get bulgogi in the tunnels?! read more

I do not favor this place at all. Their bowls are the worst. I had high expectations I suppose. Also the spring rolls are made with chicken not pork. Which is absolutely disgusting. I am vietnamese and I can say that this is one of the most terrible and asian places. Rant over. Update: I'm writing this review as I am attempting to eat this beijing chicken bowl. I also noted that some parts of the chicken is raw. smh read more

Excellent fast food Asian food. The shrimp and chicken spring rolls in rice paper were some of the best I've ever had. Mix the hoisin, Siracha, and peanut sauce together for the spring roll dipping sauce. The beef broccoli dish was also very good. Place is very busy for lunch but is quick service and their servings are large. Quality food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended! read more

A recent wonderful discovery! This is a great lunch spot with an assortment of rice bowls, soups, dumplings, salads, and teas. I love the tuna tower bowl with brown rice and their lemon mint tea. And if your order is over $7.50 you also get a free small frozen yogurt! Currently it is snicker doodle and tart, swirled together they are yum! Make sure if it is your first time in you let them know and they will treat you to a free tea! read more

Kuai Dumplings & Soups - Tuna tower bowl with brown rice and spring roll - Asian Fusion Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have been coming here for lunch since our offices relocated to downtown over ten years ago. This place always has a line out the door but it moves very quickly. You are greeted by a friendly staff and a great lunch for the value. The dumplings are wonderfully steamed (no dry edges on these) and have the perfect dumpling to filling ratio. My favorites are the pork dumplings and spring roll with a cranberry tea. read more

Had beef pho for lunch today. Seemed more like Linguini noodles with roast beef than anything resembling authentic. Great service and fun place but definitely wouldn't ever order the pho again. read more

Its a good lunch spot if you're looking to change it up in the Downtown area but people are seriously over-hyping it. It's definitely Asian fast food. In and Out. In and Out. In and Out. (yes I'm still talking about Kuai) Dumplings are in packages of 4, 8 ,12, pretty decently priced. I ordered the Hot and Sour soup. It was tasty but a farcry from authentic Hot and Sour soup. But if you take it for what it is, then it's satisfying and decent portions. The dumplings themselves were just ok. There wasn't much flavor with the chicken filling unless you drowned them in sauce. The dumplings were nothing spectacular and honestly reminded me of the frozen packs of Chinese dumplings I buy at my local Asian grocery store. I guess if you never get the chance to eat dumplings or are a first-timer, then this would be satisfying but overall, it was pretty average. read more

First time? Free iced tea. But that was only the beginning. First time? Why don't you sample some of our rice bowls. Oh, and here's a cup for some frozen yogurt too, on the house! Best service for sure! We got to taste 3 of the rice bowls -- Tokyo, Masala, and Thai. Each one is very different from the other, so it's hard to say which one I liked best. The idea behind it is so you can eat there everyday and never be bored. We wanted something healthy for lunch, and this was a great choice. You can get your rice bowl with white or brown rice, and you can substitute tofu for chicken in any dish as well. (Note for vegetarians: the Thai Bowl is based with fish sauce). They do small and regular sizes, and the small is pretty sizable for a lunch portion. We also tried the vegetarian dumplings, which were great! I would come back for these before coming back for the rice bowls. They have 4 different sauces for the dumplings you can try as well. My friend got a "small" hot and sour soup -- very different from your traditional hot & sour soup. It has ground pork and baby corn in it, which I've never seen before. I wasn't a fan, perhaps because it wasn't what I expected. Overall, great service and great prices. Good healthy lunch option for those working in Downtown. read more

This is what a restaurant should be. I walked in at 10:30 and was the only one in the restaurant. The guy behind the counter said they were closed but offered to check and see what they had ready. Three minutes later, he brought out the chicken rice bowl I wanted. Then he asked if it was my first time at Kuai. When I confirmed, he handed me a cup and said that first timers get free drinks. The food was fresh and tasty. Nothing like normal Asian fast food. Moist chicken and crisp vegetables. I'll be back whenever I'm in Dallas. read more

Solid lunch place in downtown Dallas. Very reasonably priced -- with 4 dumplings for under $4 and large soups also under $4. I had the pork dumplings, chicken dumplings and egg drop soup and was very pleased with all 3! Fresh, hot, flavorful and excellent variety of dipping sauces for the dumplings. They had delicious fillings and thin wrappers -- the way a dumpling should be! Also had an amazing selection of iced teas (mango peach, lemon ginger, etc!) with free refills. Best perk? Free small frozen yogurt with purchase over $7 or $7.50 (can't remember!) And flavor of the day yesterday was snickerdoodle yogurt! read more

Ordered two pho's & they were gross. I couldn't finish it because it was so bland & the chicken texture was tough.

The people that work here are super friendly. The dumplings are pretty good. This was a fall-back place for me but writing them off. Most dishes are watery as they take the same steamed chicken/veggies then pour water based "sauce" over at the last minute. They used to be a good value for the "5oz" chicken side if you wanted to add some protein to your lunch but now they are charging you for the dipping sauces if you only get a side. It's dipping sauce folks. Marginal food has now gone petty! What's next? Start charging for chopsticks? read more

The Pho is tasty! We got the ours with beef, rice noodles, bean sprouts, jalapeños and chives. When we got ours to go they put the broth, beef and rice noodles into a to-go cup and then you add other items from their side bar. My husband said the Ahi Tuna bowl sample was good which was a combo he thinks of ahi tuna/crab roll/avocado/brown rice. read more

My second time here and I can not recommend it enough. The variety of the food is great, and everything is really tasty. They do their own take on all the dishes and they are all fresh, healthy and refreshing. The service is incredible, the place is clean, and they have delicious varieties of iced tea, and they have froyo when you are done! I recommend the Tuna Tower. All of the rice bowls and soup and dumplings were really tasty. read more

Ordered two Large Beijing Orange Chicken bowls on Uber Eats. 1st issue: Didn't taste like orange at all. Tasted like some weird mixture of soy, apple, and cinnamon or something. Definitely not orange, definitely not good. 2nd issue: As we were eating, my friend and I both noticed our chicken looked pink. Took a few pieces out and confirmed with some coworkers that the most of the chicken was definitely raw. read more

It was fine, I got one of their bowls (orange chicken). If it is your first time here, you get an iced tea for free. Normally I would not mention this, but they actually have a variety of tea flavors that they mix in-house (I think) . I got the ginger honey, which turned out to be too gingery for my taste, but I enjoyed the mango peach more. The bowl itself has so much potential, but it lost me on the flavor. My orange chicken was really bland and watery, and did not taste citrusy. It was just some generic brown sauce with chicken. I loaded on the sriracha and other condiments they had to make it palatable. I may try their dumplings or tuna tower next time, but I will not be getting another bowl. read more

Lunch special is bomb. Get an entree and soup for about $10. And free ice cream! The coconut soup was AWESOME. I wish they'd say it's tom kha gha which is pretty much what it is, but it was awesome. Had chicken in it. Tuna tower was great with tuna, avocado, crab, and brown rice (you can choose, I was just trying to be healthy). I'll definitely be coming here more often! read more

I went to Kuai for lunch and got the dumplings. I was very disappointed. I felt like the dumplings were the grocery dumplings. The sauces for the dumpling were good though, there were a variety and you can choose many. The upside is you get free yogurt and drink on your first visit. However, I am most likely will not visit again. read more

Really wanted an Asian lunch spot and took forever to find the tunnel. However, I was disappointed on both occasions. (Gave them a second chance.) This is your typical Americanized Asian food. Everything was missing something. I got the Ahi Tuna the first time. For the price, the portions are extremely small. To give it credit, the fish was fresh enough to not have any weird taste. Honestly, not that bad but far from Japanese restaurant standards. Too salty also. I got the coconut soup the second time. Totally disappointed. The soup was overly salty. Probably has tons of MSG. (I got extremely thirsty after drinking the soup and usually that's a sign.) There's no vegetables in it. Everything was just wrong. Didn't try the dumplings, but I read from the other reviewer that it tastes like supermarket frozen dumplings so I skipped. For all the rave reviews this place has on Yelp, it's actually a huge disappointment. When are we ever going to get decent Asian food downtown?! It is, however, super fast. read more

Went there with 3 guys from work. we all agreed the food here was very subpar. It feels like they are trying to throw a lot of items at you (indian, korean, japanese, chinese, and fro yo!??) . The quality of each dish though was not there . My dish had the sauce on top, not cooked into the chicken, the rice was lumpy, and some pieces of my broccoli were only partially cooked. Even the dumplings were a smidge better than store bought. I think we will move to the other side of the concourse and try our luck with the mediterranean and greek places. read more

I got the steamed pork dumplings and they are great! They are big and the skin is really thin. This is an authentic Chinese dish and it's pretty hard to find dumplings better than Kuai's. I also tried the spicy egg drop soup, it's a little busy with ingredients but the flavor is good. I love their selection of ice teas, it's good to see they have unsweetened teas, I hate sugar. This is a lunch place, so they serve the food immediately. read more

Kuai at its simplest definition is an Asain Fast Food joint. They serve dumplings, rice bowls, and a breif assortment of soups and sides. There are days you forget your lunch, and the last thing you want to do is to spend $5 at Subway, and this place is a nice alternative to that option. I usually order their small Marco Polo bowl without rice, sub extra veggies (this equates to steamed chicken, broccoli, onions and carrots). Its solidly dependable, but not what I would call 5 stars. The staff is incredibly friendly and even if its a lengthy line, you never have to wait long. Worth a try if you need to mix it up in the Dallas Tunnels for lunch. read more
