    Inside dining area
    Veronica M.

    The service was friendly and attentive. I got the seafood noodles (medium) and the pan-seared dumplings. Food was really good but I got confused with the dumplings I wanted but regardless everything was delicious. The decor is similar to the other location but I like the baskets around. And it has plenty of space for people to sit. This location has a parking lot and has other retail and restaurant options. This place it's really good.

    The food was flavorful, the place was clean and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town.

    Good food, fresh items plus arrived pipping hot. We enjoyed the steamed chicken dumplings, vegetable bao buns and no spice-beef noodle soup. So good and for an extra treat, the sesame balls. Everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely reorder from this great Chinese food eatery. Just wish the'd add wonton soup, my husband's fav!

    This little corner restaurant is so cute!! You have to find street parking but after going around the block twice we got the best spot! We were greeted right as we walked in and found a nice high top table. Our eyes were big so we ordered a nice variety of items to share. Our server was very friendly and brought things out to us quickly! We were very pleased with how fast the food came out. Everything was a hit! My daughter did prefer the steamed dumplings over the pan seared because the pan seared were "too oily" for her but they were still delicious. The Zha Jiang noodles were a huge hit and my hubby scooped the bowl clean! The boba was also cooked perfectly. We will definitely make it a point to stop again when we are in the area!

    Was craving some soup so thought of checking this place out. The menu online was outdated and was shocked that they had more things! Decided to try the chicken noodle soup and the seared bao bun. The chicken noodle soup said they have seared chicken but it felt like rotisserie chicken with all the skin on. (Attached a picture of skin just floating). The soup was ok, nothing to write home about. Was disappointed after the chicken being all not seared. The seared bao bun was ok. They were pretty fast with the order and the place seems chill.

    We found this place looking for a dumpling restaurant close to Mount Juliet. This place is kind of hard to find and is not fancy on the inside, however, the food is great! The Pho had an excellent broth, very tasty. We also ordered dumplings, bao, popcorn chicken and a broth less beef noodle bowl. Everything we ordered was so good, all the flavors were excellent. We ordered in, sat at a high top table. Like I said, it's not anything fancy inside, but the employees were very nice and helped us pick the best things in the menu. Even the pineapple tea was great! I ordered it with very light sweetness and it was perfect. I definitely recommend this place and we will be back again.

    Went in knowing I was getting the soup dumplings! Absolutely impressed with taste and service. The staff was nice and answered all questions I had about items on menu. Definitely a quick easy place for dumplings.

    Great food, customer service is friendly, and everything gets made fast! Highly recommended the spicy dumpling bowl. Also if you're a fan of earl grey, theirs is really good! The food is on the pricier side but it's a great treat!

    Spicy pan fried dumpling.  Watch the spice level because they are serious about it.
    Jonathan B.

    Wow. This place was truly fantastic and merits a stop if you're in the mood for anything like dumplings or noodle soup. The soup itself was perfectly seasoned the meat big chunks and the steamed dumplings were ridiculous.

    Pan seared dumplings, aka pot stickers
    Angela W.

    Surprisingly good from out of nowhere in TN. We were craving for some soup noodles after a round of golf at the Hermitage, in the freaking cold day, I mean literally in the 30 degree day. Pan seared dumplings, aka pot stickers - Pretty good Shanghai soup dumplings- not bad but dough is on the thick side. Beef noodle soup - on the salty side but not bad Zha Jiang noodle - not bad Shredded beef rice bowl - just ok Popcorn chicken- I am not a fan of popcorn chicken but not bad Hit the spot. Would definitely return if we ever visit Hermitage TN in the future.

    Juicy pork bao
    Lei A.

    I was looking for a place to eat after our cheer comp and saw this place and had to try it. We ordered the soup dumpling because my youngest loves those. It was flavorful and lots of soup in it. The pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings were also good. My favorite was the juicy pork bao. It just burst into flavors. This is definitely a spot that we will definitely come to when visiting.

    Pineapple fruit tea with fruit jelly and seared pork buns!
    Sonia M.

    Hubby is out of town so I treated myself to SteamBoys tonight! I had an iced pineapple fruit tea with fruit jelly-not too sweet and very refreshing! *you are able to choose your level of sweetness. I ordered seared pork buns-you get 2 in an order and that is plenty satisfying. Made to order, flavorful and fresh!

    Kimberly M.

    Wow! This menu is packed with satisfying flavor. Unctuous fluffy bao and delicious pan seared dumplings did not disappoint. We also had some drinks: Earl Grey milk tea and a Vietnamese coffee. The only sad thing is they do not serve the soup dumplings on take out orders, and that was the number 1 thing we wanted to try. The meat in the bao is in a big ball (beef and pork were the same), making them difficult to eat, but the flavor is delicious. Service was patient as I asked questions about the menu. The place has modern, simple decor. We look forward to trying more.

    Spoiler alert! Coming from metropolitan SOCAL, I find it…read moredifficult to find authentic Asian foods cooked to Asian standards to tempt an Asian palate here in middle Tennessee. Last week I was in Goodlettsville for business and I saw China Cottage in the same center. It was lunchtime and I went in to see what was on the menu. I opted for this dish that was mainly bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, a few scallops and sliced beef in a brown sauce. While it was tasty, I thought it would not stand up against any of the Asian cuisine I was used to eating in the San Gabriel Valley. I would return because it outshines any of the Chinese fare I have eaten in the White House area. I truly enjoyed my meal; it is just hard to measure up against where I came from.

I have a few go-to Chinese spots around town, but was in the immediate area recently and wanted to scoop dinner up, so I made a call to China Cottage and about 20 minutes later I had to goods. I ordered the classics of sesame chicken, house fried rice, wonton soup and an egg roll. All were tasty, not the best, but certainly far from the worst. Portion size is huge here, I mean they pack the containers to the brim. Food was also clearly cooked to order as it was still piping hot when I got it home and opened. Space inside is decorated as you would expect. They have a good size dining room with booths and tables, and even have a few seats at a small bar near the entry way. The place was clean, and well kept. Service was friendly and helpful from the phone to pick up. Overall, solid experience at China Cottage. Definitely worth adding to the rotation.

    I had been to Hawkers about four years ago and honestly wasn't impressed with the food or service…read moreat the time. After returning last night with my girlfriend and her four-year-old daughter, I can confidently say the experience was completely different. We were greeted and seated immediately, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. When my girlfriend mentioned that her drink was a little too sweet, our server quickly offered to replace it with something else. They also brought toys for her daughter, which was a thoughtful touch and made her feel welcome. The food was amazing. The wings were some of the best I've had, and the lo mein, bulgogi and fried rice were all excellent. Throughout our meal, several people who I assume were managers stopped by to make sure everything was going well. I was genuinely impressed by the level of service. There are fine-dining restaurants in Nashville where you don't receive this much attention or hospitality. Hawkers completely changed my opinion, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Wasted Soup dumplings are so damn cool. It's also either an engineering marvel or some sort of biblical miracle. How is the soup born inside the little dumpling?? So many questions!!

That my friend, is a whole fucking lot!! I am more full of myself than you could possibly imagine. I loved these particular chicken wings a little more than life.

I had already eaten dinner at Eddie V's earlier in the evening, but these wings called me from more than a mile away... Come eat me, Adam....
