    Oreo Taro boba
    Crystal B.

    Came here for boba teas: 1Taro with boba (6 yo: loved it) 1 Taro with boba, less sugar (me: good) 1 Taro Oreo with boba (8 yo: loved it, new fave) 1 Passion Fruit with boba (13yo: good but not enough bobas) 1 Raspberry Tea with Mango popping bobas (11yo: really good) 1 Oolong Milk Tea (hubby: just okay, not enough flavor) The pan seared dumplings were really good, we decided to order another round after the first was finished. The crispy pork belly and crispy chicken were really good, would totally get it again. On a side note, my 13yo says it need to be bigger. The pork bao bun was okay.

    Never auto gratuity by dollar amount....  i guess plan to split order to avoid??

    The food was fast to arrive. We order some panseared baos? Dumplings and noodle soup with some boba. The family all loved what they got. People seemed nice and the restaurant had good ambiance. If you apparently have an orser greater than 95 dollars ( not by party size mind you) you are forced an auto 18% gratuity.) Not a fan.

    The Steamed Bao (of the beef variety).
    Graham T.

    Steam Boys is well priced and delicious. The Steamed Bao is so soft it makes you sleepy, and the five-spice chicken is rich and meaty. The atmosphere also has an amazing chill vibe, so this would be the perfect place to study (What? You can study somewhere other than a coffee shop?)!

    I've always for my food to go but I really enjoyed dining in at Steamboys for some delicious food! Service was Quick and fast

    Spicy Dumpling bowl
    Mary D.

    Such great food! Not only is the staff nice, they are always welcoming to answer questions about the menu and give advice on the food. The location in Nolensville is so quiet and nice.

    Samantha F.

    So the ambiance of this cute shop was lovely and the staff was kind but the food left something to be desired. The steam buns were delicious, would love if they offered a kids option with no meat or veggies. I ordered hot tea which was scalding sadly the taste was off because of it. The soups are made with bone broth so they are hearty, was not the biggest fan personally. All in all I don't think I will be visiting again. But it was a cute place to visit for sure!

    Food was so good. We went back two days in a row. Service was good Boba tea was good as well.

    Two pan seared vegan bao
    Priya B.

    Disappointing first visit despite having SUCH high hopes for this place, based on the recommendation of friends. Soup dumplings & bao are probably one of my favorite foods and I haven't found a place that meets my fix when I have a craving in Nashville. For this visit, I got an order (comes with 2) of the pan seared vegan bao. The good: online ordering via Toast was super easy, parking plentiful, the restaurant new & clean , and my order was waiting packed (but still hot) as soon as I went into pick it up. The not so good: Even easy parking couldn't make up for the terrible taste of the bao, which was extremely greasy on the outside and had filling (mostly cabbage with a lone pea or piece of carrot occasionally) SO SALTY, I found it completely uneatable. I paid $0.50 for "extra" dumpling sauce & vinegar but only got one of each, so there was no "extra" sauce available. I wasn't expecting the level of authenticity I'd find in a larger city, but it was such a downer not to be able to even eat the bao. My love of bao and soup dumplings and belief in the reviews of my friends will have me trying this place again at some point in the future... just hope that visit can be more promising.

    Cucumber salad & seared veggie dumplings.
    Lisa T.

    Great little restaurant with quick service and tasty food! Tried their new cucumber salad, YES!, and seared veggie dumplings. So good!!

    Beef and noodles
    Adrianna B.

    Brown sugar boba gets a 10/10! It was so good and creamy! I got mine made with oat milk. I also got beef and noodle soup. I was not impressed! Noodles were thick and soggy. Beef broth was very salty

    Crispy Pork Belly Rice Bowl
    Ire L.

    I rarely ever leave review but I am literally shock right now! Hubby brought back home our call in order and this is what i get. There's barely any meat in this i was so disappointed! Like i was literally looking forward to this coz i love pork belly. I cannot. For $14 this is it. Steamboys what is going on? send me a new bowl!

    Found an absolute hidden gem in Franklin tonight!…read more Mi Kitchen delivered from start to finish. The atmosphere immediately caught our attention--creative, intimate, colorful, and just a really cool vibe. Then the food came out and somehow managed to match the setting. We tried the beef tacos, soy garlic wings, glass noodles, and steak, and everything was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The steak was cooked perfectly, the wings were crispy and loaded with flavor, and those beef tacos definitely deserve another visit of their own. ‍ What really completed the experience was the service. Gene was awesome--friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout dinner. Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and reasonable prices for the quality. It's always a win when you stumble across a place you weren't expecting and leave already thinking about what you're ordering next time. Mi Kitchen is officially on the repeat list. Five stars easily.

From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. The first thing that stood out was their small plate concept, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of committing to just one entrée, and this concept is something I wish more restaurants would adopt. We ended up trying almost half the menu and loved nearly every dish. A huge shout-out to our server, Nestor. He welcomed us warmly, was cheerful throughout the evening, and his recommendations were spot on. He truly made the dinner even more enjoyable. We started with a couple of mocktails, and the Purple Haze was refreshing and delicious. Here are some of our favorites: MI Cucumber - Smashed cucumber with soy dressing, crunchy chili oil, and cilantro. Simple, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Plantain - Fried plantains topped with sriracha goat cheese, cilantro, and crunchy gremolata. The sriracha goat cheese paired perfectly with the sweet plantains. K-Pop Chicken - Korean sweet and spicy popcorn chicken with great flavor and a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Dumplings - Homemade steamed dumplings with edamame, truffle, yuzu ponzu, and garlic confit. I really enjoyed the truffle flavor, though it may not be for everyone. Kimchi Bacon Risotto - Caramelized kimchi, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, and shrimp. One of the best dishes of the night--perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. Crispy Spicy Tuna - Spicy mayo tuna served over crispy rice. This was one of the highlights of the meal. The crispy rice was absolutely perfect. Cauliflower Taco - Crispy cauliflower with guacamole, creamy miso, and tsiran spice. The filling was flavorful, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. Lamb Chops - This was the only dish that felt average. The lamb was cooked well, but it was missing a bit of flavor. A little more seasoning, especially some salt, would have really elevated the dish. To finish the meal, we had the Banana Pudding with Vanilla Gelato, which was a delicious and satisfying way to end dinner. Overall, MI Kitchen completely exceeded our expectations. Amazing food, a fun small-plate concept, and outstanding service from Nestor made this a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Despite multiple visits and even conversations with the chef and waitress, I'm still treated like it's my first time every single visit. At this point, I'm starting to wonder if I'm invisible or if there's a reset button I don't know about. Service is minimal at best. The only thing ever "served" to me is a drink--which, by the way, never gets refilled. Yet I still tip, hoping maybe the experience improves next time. (Spoiler alert: it hasn't.) What really stands out--and not in a good way--is the clear difference in how I'm treated compared to other customers. I'm consistently offered the same basic options: fried rolls or a standard California roll with imitation crab. Meanwhile, I watch the chef offer more premium selections like salmon and tuna to others without hesitation. This last visit was the breaking point. I came in looking forward to breaking my fast and decided to go with the all-you-can-eat option. The chef served everyone who arrived before me--and even someone who came in after me--before getting to me. When I asked about a roll I saw served (Philadelphia roll), I was told those customers were there first. Fair enough... until I pointed out someone who came in after me and was already eating. That's when I was told, "she's a usual." Got it. Message received loud and clear. It's not just about the food--it's about the experience, and consistently feeling like an afterthought isn't something I'm willing to pay for anymore.
