This a wonderful date spot with good food, great cocktails, and a chill atmosphere. And Dim Sum is great spot for dumplings. Food is served in Tapas style and is great for sharing. While the food is quite good, the cocktails were the stand out. Unique flavors, combinations that were delicious. And dim sum is definitely worth a visit. read more

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, I would. This place is all swag, no substance. My husband and I are total foodies & as we were walking around the area, I told him I wanted to try this place. I could tell something was going on with him because he was apprehensive but I he didn't say anything. Once the appetizer came, I bit into one of the dumplings & it was frozen on the inside. Yes--FROZEN on the inside. Then I finally clocked what my husband was thinking. I scolded him & was like "why did you let me choose this" ... when I saw the sign I was thinking of this AMAZING Dim sum place in San Francisco. I didn't even realize that it wasn't authentic. Yes, the appetizer was from a bag that they reheated. All the dumplings were from a bag. And super salty too! If I wanted reheated dumplings, I would go to Costco. There were NO cooks... just a white kid in the kitchen with AirPods in his ears reheating the frozen food. The atmosphere is cute, but food is AWFUL. I seriously don't even know what I was thinking when I chose this place. Bless my husband for trying to be sweet to me but lol he shoulda had my back and been like... "babe, look around ..." read more

Service was good. We had a nice seat on the second floor near the window. Disappointed by the small portions. Liked the chocolate wonton dessert. Interior is very nice. read more

Snagged a reservation during a short trip to Richmond . We were thrilled to find ADS replaced one of our favorite spots when we lived here, being in the restaurant brought back fond memories. They've done a great job on decor. The service was very friendly, we asked for suggestions and ordered them all - soup dumplings, fried dumplings, scallion pancake and pork belly baos. I had the g&t which was refreshing, my partner had the old fashioned which was done very nicely. We''ll definitely be back on our next trip to Richmond! read more

The restaurant is super cutely decorated! I loved that part. I didn't see the upstairs, but the bar and the downstairs dining was very nice, though maybe somewhat cramped for a large party. The food was good for the most part. We loved the watermelon katsu and tempura peppers. The vegan dumplings did not have good flavor or texture. We did appreciate the several vegetarian and vegan items on the menu. The dimsum menu was fairly small and definitely asian fusion more than traditional style, but the drink menu was huge! I'd definitely return for happy hour. Both of the cocktails I tried were also good. Reasonable drink prices! Small plates were also reasonable portions for the price. The service was attentive and the food came out fast even though our server apologized for it being a short staffed evening. Overall a good spot if you are downtown and want small plates and drinks! read more

Not good, very disappointed. We were excited to try takeout from a new Asian spot - I particularly love dim sum and trying different small plates, but was left very underwhelmed. We tried the Mushroom Dumplings, BBQ Jackfruit Bao, and Scallion Pancakes. There are limited vegetarian / vegan options, which is okay, if those limited options are done well, but these missed the mark entirely. Mushroom dumplings were eh, they were falling apart a bit and the filling lacked flavor. Jackfruit bao were the least favorite item - just a really weird, unappetizing flavor and the slaw was falling out of the bao. Texture was also off. The scallion pancakes were sadly not at all flaky, just flat and thin and overly fried with chunks of red chili flakes. Did not enjoy. Overall would not recommend And Dim Sum. Giving them 2 stars instead of 1 for the pretty interior decor and ambiance. read more

Only good thing about the restaurant was the interior design. Very well done. Although the service was slow. I will never recommend Food taste just like they popped it in the microwaved and over cooked it. Glad we tried something new, but I just can't go back here. read more

My partner and I stopped in around 6 PM on a Saturday to check out the restaurant. The place was pretty empty when we arrived, but when we told the host we didn't have a reservation she immediately informed us that they were sold out for the night. We asked about bar seating and the host seemed a bit confused, and at that point a manager stepped in and confirmed we could sit at the bar. Once at the bar, I decided to go to Open Table to see if reservations were available and to my surprise, there were multiple options to book a table immediately. So, why did the host say they were fully booked then??? And, for at least half of the time we were dining, there was no one at the bar but my partner and I! Now about the food -- dinner was fine. We ordered drinks, a couple of dim sum items and a larger plate of fried ride. The best item we order was the duck wontons. They were crispy and full of meat. The crab and corn soup was also tasty. The restaurant has a fun vibe and cool location, but it wasn't a stand out in terms of service or food. With so many great and new restaurants opening in the city of Richmond, I'm just not sure this one is worth me coming back to again. read more

Nathan was an amazing server/bartender. just had an amazing conversation. learned a lot about the menu and the happy hour couldn't be any greater. read more

The service was fast and quick. The server was attentive and food came out fast. The restaurant ambience was nice as well! It was colorful and well decorated. They played good music and the restaurant had a great vibe to it! Now the reason it got a low rating was the food. Most of the portions were small and expensive. Traditional dim sum places typically charge less for more per plate Pork xiao long bạo 4/10: not enough flavor or soup. read more

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We went in around six and just ordered the whole menu's worth of dumplings! It's a great place to go share food and have some conversation. Highly recommend. read more

We impressed with the ease of parking. The wait staff was wonderful with the chef personally bringing out some of our plates. The food was top notch with the ambience to match. read more

Awesome vibe of this place. We sat upstairs and had a view of broad street. Our food came super fast and the staff was very kind. Plates are small and a little expensive for what you get. I wish I'd taken a picture of the pork belly bao-- it was the best thing we ordered by far! read more

Had lunch at And Dim Sum today and it was pretty good! There were definitely more positives than negatives and I'm pretty sure improvements will come along as they get settled into their new digs. Pros: * the mushroom, beef, and lemongrass dumplings were delicious (especially the lemongrass). Warm and juicy, they were like pockets of yummy. * the pork belly bao was really good. I fell in love with the cole slaw * scallion pancakes crispy and reminiscent of my favorite Chinese restaurant in NYC * roasted red pepper chili sauce to die for Cons: * the fried calamari dish needs work. It's served with a very spicy sauce.... actually let me rephrase that.... it's DROWNING in a spicy sauce. Now individually, both were good, but together the dish was a mess. The sauce made all the breading fall of the calamari so it turned into this mush of breading and naked squid. Maybe, instead of frying the calamari, pan sear it? Serve the sauce on the side? * the soup dumplings all broke and lost the soup. The paper they come on sticks to the dumplings and they break and soup goes everywhere except mah belly! Our server, Sam, was wonderful. We had a great time with him, chatting about the dishes and he was very agreeable to the suggestions we had about the calamari and soup dumplings. He was attentive, friendly, and our drinks never ran out. Service, from host to servers, was on point, with everyone making us feel welcome. Definitely will return because they were out of a few items that we still want to try! read more

The food and the vibe of the restaurant were excellent. We had the lemongrass chicken dumplings, soup dumplings, pork belly bao bun (incredible), scallion pancakes, curry risotto and crab Rangoon nachos, which were all incredible. They were out of a lot of dishes which was disappointing. At only 6:30pm they were out of pork and chili dumplings, shrimp dumplings, wings, chocolate wontons and crème brûlée tarts (apparently the chef dropped these all over the kitchen floor???). Overall, it was great but for such a small menu it's surprising they could be out of so many ingredients. read more

Great meal, Crab Rangoon nachos really good. Our service was good our first time at this restaurant will definitely be back.

I am so disappointed in my first experience here. I had high hopes with the reviews from friends and social media. We had a Friday night at 5pm reservation that we showed up early for. They were very accommodating, as the restaurant was not busy at all. The waitress didn't give us the happy hour menu, we asked for it, we chalked it up to a whoops, but the rest of the time was as inattentive. We ordered shrimp, beef and chicken dumplings (1 order of 3 of each), 1 order of soup dumplings (that the waitress didn't bring us spoons for), and 1 order of bao buns. Every dumpling was overcooked and the bao buns were a little salty for my husband's taste (to be fair, he said that pork belly tends to be saltier, so this can just be his taste). The dumplings in the steamer were all over done, with the soup dumplings not having any broth in the but one of them. The pan fried chicken dumplings were also fried too hard. After drinks, one each, and tip we spent $81 on food that was not good at all. The restaurant decor was cute and I get the concept, but if this is the type of food that comes out when it's not busy, I hate to see what it's like when it is. So disappointing. read more

And Dim Sum was fantastic! Love the decor. Almost every table with a window. Service was fire - everyone was super friendly. Happy hour food specials were delicious! Would highly suggest the calamari and dumpling special's and the purple sweet potato pie! read more

The cocktails were great. I loved the wings and tofu stir fry. Didn't enjoy the chicken dumplings though. They are soupy and flavorless.

Great food, Great atmosphere, Great staff, Great location. Great prices. Zero complaints. I'm going back often.

Highly recommend the brunch. I just wish it was more than just Sundays. Service was great and very friendly. Decent atmosphere but a little louloud since the inside is small and even with an empty room they sat everyone right next to each other read more

Yum! We had a great evening sampling the dinner food and the chef even came out and chatted with us!

The food here is pretty bad. I tried the beef dumplings and soup dumplings and fried duck wontons, and none of them had much flavor at all. The noodle part of the dumplings were sort of a pale gray and had flavor to match. Pork belly bao buns were good, but they're good nearly everywhere. Service was good, and the interior was cute read more

Great place for snacks or a full meal! Food and staff are great, could not recommend more!! New staple to Richmond, VA!!

And Dim Sum was a letdown. The food isn't authentic, just precooked frozen food that had been overheated. The desserts were even worse - tasteless and terrible. Service was poor, with inattentive staff and long waits. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone seeking quality or authenticity. read more

awesome food and service. Recommend dumpling happy hour! Buy one dumpling get one free. Delicious.

Not authentic Chinese dim sum. Some were okay and some were overcooked and rubber like. Service was good. Trendy. They ran out of soup dumplings. We went for Chinese new year on a Friday night. read more

Friends dinner here and the food was good, atmosphere was good, server was good...and after we ate and are having conversation, mickey mouse shows up at the front door. People were hanging around the statue and the rat just frolicked around like it was nothing. Needless to say, we won't be back-RVA, clean up the city! read more

And Dim Sum Went out to dinner with a friend! it was a nice vibe, the music makes you feel like you are in a loading screen of a game haha but i liked it! Im not sure if they give you regular utensils but they only present with chopsticks! They start you off with a vase of water. The water was so clear and crisp! got the peach white iced tea, he got a glass of wine. The iced tea was really refreshing! I got duck wontons. They were really good! Shredded duck that was still juicy and flavorful. The sauce reduction really brought out the flavorings in the duck! (tasted like expensive chicken lol) They say its ment to be shared, but i didnt share mine I also got the mushroom (vegan option) basket steamers. They come three per steam basket and theybare decent sized! Has tumeric, hence the yellow coloring! Very good with a dip of soy sauce which made it taste like a philly cheesesteak! My friend got the Hawaiian fried rice with sausage ($4 upcharge) and well he told the server that the chef did not give him any food We ended off with the fried doughnuts. We both did not particularly care for it. It was wayy too cinnamon-ny and the green frosting has like a minty profile. This restaurant is poppin in the evening time! The service all around was great! $55 for the final bill ($$/5) read more

lovely!! delicious food, great vibes. peaches and cream dumplings 10/10! super cute place

I'll start by saying that the ambiance and the way this place is decorated is absolutely adorable! I went for the same pink/chinoiserie Asian look for my apartment. They absolutely killed it with the interior design. The service was also good. Our waiter was nice and service was pretty quick. However, I ultimately would not recommend this place because I found the food to be pretty unimpressive. Having to the words "Dim Sum" in your name will set some pretty high standards, but I knew that this place wouldn't be authentic. Maybe I should also note that I am Chinese and Cambodian so my standards for Asian cuisine are high. We went for dinner on a Thursday night. First of all, there was no dim sum cart which I had assumed there wouldn't be. We ordered the Bokchoy, the scallion pancake, the shu mai, the chow main, and the calamari. I thought the Bokchoy had way too much going on. Too many other veggies and we agreed the ginger taste was too strong. The chow main was just unimpressive. I also feel like there wasn't a lot of actual noodles in it versus the meat and veggies. We didn't like it so the waiter ended up taking it off the bill which was super nice of him. The shu mai wasn't really great either and also was a little overcooked. I was surprised with the scallion pancake coming out the way it did cut up in triangles and already having sauce on it. It was okay, reminded me of the frozen ones at Trader Joe's. Finally, the white rice had furikake on it. I really didn't like this. Furikake is Japanese, dim sum is Chinese. The calamari was decent. Probably my favorite thing we ordered. I understand that this restaurant probably isn't claiming to be authentic, but it's a bold move to have "dim sum" in your name and for the food to be what it was. They should take notes from Fat Dragon or Lucky AF when it comes to the name. read more

The service was excellent the ambiance was nice but let's unpack the food. The appetizers were the best on the menu. Duck Wontons 4/5 Pork Belly Bao 4/5 Soup Dumplings 4/5 Velvet Beef Chow Mein 2/5 over cooked mushy noodles, over sauced, steak to well done read more

Really rude waiter, food took 25 minutes, 4 fried egg rolls for $14, food was cold by the time it got to our table, watered down overpriced drinks. Tense and combative ambiance. Had to ask the bartender for my check because the waiter stopped coming to our table. I don't think i will ever come back. All of us felt sick after eating the shrimp dumplings. read more

The food is ok, but it is not dim sum... Pork XLB (soup dumplings) were not very soupy and very average. Pork belly bao was the best thing I had there. Crab and corn soup smelled like the crab had gone bad. read more

there are so many good asian spots in richmond, this is not worth it. food is actually not good at all. went with a group, tried almost half the menu, and didn't like a single thing. seasoning was either weird (not authentic) or bland or just salt. the decor was cute and service was good, but the actual food just sucks. read more

Highly recommend the duck wontons and soup dumplings - those were my favorite. The drinks were fresh and creative, I got the lemongrass lemonade. Hip and modern decor and I think they've nailed the branding and feel of the place. Service was exceptionally slow, and food took longer than it should considering there only three bites per plate. I was shocked by the bill price, little plates can add up quickly! I would recommend this for a small snack rather than a special occasion dinner. read more

Went today, February 4, 2024 for an 11:30 AM reservation, for the first time, excited to sample all the dim sum offerings. To begin with, there's not much to choose from on the menu. The pork dumplings were ok, but nothing to come back for. The shrimp dumplings were bland and unsavory. At this point, my increasing disappointment was becoming more palpable and I was beginning to lose my cool. But I was hungry. I wanted the chow mein and was told they ran out of noodles. Seriously? At 11:30 am with the restaurant barely occupied? So ok I went for the crab and corn soup instead. By this time, our very helpful waiter had reported our disappointment to the kitchen staff. Everything is a joke here and I'm being kind. I was happy with the Sichuan Bloody Mary cocktail, but everything else was unbelievably bad or mediocre. How can anyone even give it 2 stars? I have never had this worst experience in a restaurant and normally I'd give a newly opened restaurant a chance to correct itself. I don't know how other reviewers came up with their high marks, because there's nothing on the menu that deserves one star. I wanted very much for this restaurant to succeed, since there aren't many Asian restaurants in this neighborhood. But seriously, is this a dim sum restaurant or a wannabe never-will-be any restaurant? I predict this restaurant is doomed to early bankruptcy, and I've never been wrong in that prediction. I can't say the same for our waiter who was extremely patient, understanding and helpful--what a shame that he has to put up with such mediocrity. read more
