Pork dumplings were spot on! Will be back to try more of the menu. Service was fast and friendly. Looking forward to next time.

Packaging of the food was great! Xiao Long Bao was good. Drinks looked really good but did not have one.

I LOVE love LOVE Triumph Valley!! genuinely love at first bite. This is my go to spot for dim sum…read moreand it never disappoints. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and just hits every time. So many seats inside but Just a heads up: come early or be ready to wait, because this place is always packed. It's busy, a little chaotic, but 100% worth it. There's 20 Chinese aunties running around so please come with an open mind. No matter how long the wait gets, I'll always make time for my bookie pookie.

The food itself is high quality. The best pan-fried noodles I've had in a long time (aka chow mein,…read morechoose the crispy option). Dim sum is some of the best in the Seattle area. But they lose 3 stars from me because they use some kind of industrial strength cleaning chemical to wipe down the tables. Hard to enjoy your meal when all you can smell is the same chemical they use to mop the floors at QFC. If they are using a spray bottle to clean at the next table, you'll get a cloud of harsh cleaning chemical up your nostrils while you eat. I've had to rinse off and wiped down my own table with a napkin dampened with tea or water in order to enjoy my meal. When I mentioned this to staff, they were dismissive and haven't changed a thing in over a year when I first brought it to their attention. They should only be using something like quat sanitizer, that doesn't smell, to clean the tables. NOT something that is used for floors or bathrooms. and on a side note: if you decide to mop underneath another table while people are dining next to it, please say "excuse me" or just wait. Instead of almost hitting people in the head with a mop handle without saying a word. Also not great for a dining experience. I have worked in restaurants and F&B management. I know something about these things. You shouldn't use anything on a table for diners that you wouldn't use on a food preparation surface. How many times has a dumpling got away from you and bounced around on the table and you snag it and consume it, because you assume the table isn't being cleaned with floor cleaner? If you agree with me, please say something to the staff, and maybe they'll eventually listen. This is a real shame. The food quality is quite good. I might just do take-out from now on. There are other high quality Chinese and Asian dining options, that's the bright side of living in this area.

Came for dinner last night and it was everything I expected. When they first opened this location,…read moreI had tried it and there were a couple of environmental things (it was super cold inside) that I didn't like, so I waited to do this review to fix some of the issues. The food is still top notch and the service is speedy. But the restaurant is now very warm. The floors are really slippery so be careful, but it's a nice fast paced Chinese restaurant you can get dim sum instead of the normal yum cha times of seattle Chinatown. If you want really good Chinese food at breakneck speeds, want to feel like you're at your Chinese ma's house as she's yelling at the kids in the background, this is it! We even had a loud Chinese conversation that I had to tell my husband "shes not angry, just very busy and trying to get orders out". The only annoying thing is their uber eats notification is consistently on fire. Dinged enough to notice it through the entire meal.

I can't say how much I am glad that they exist here in Tacoma. Esp. Now that their Seattle location…read morehas closed. I have been here multiple times - take out orders, uber eats, group gatherings, even by myself. Each time I have been so happy with the food and the taste! It is hard to find good quality Chinese food and this place hits the spot. The service can be better but to me, that's not what I can for and actually adds to the ambience hehe! Good eats and will def come here over and over again.

Pleasant, clean and beautiful ambiance tucked in southcenter mall with helpful staffs from…read morereception to the wait staff. Had a short wait time or you can opt to sit at the bar. Food was very good. My favorite is a dish I don't see in other dim sum places- the rice roll with crispy shrimp and nori. Beautiful and delicate dish. The other standard dim sum dishes were good too. My favorite was the chive shrimp dumpling. The stuffed eggplant was tasty too. The bean curd roll was a little heavy on the sauce but it was tasty if you remove the excess sauce. Finally we wanted to balance protein with greens- the stir fried pea vine with extra garlic was satisfying. I also very much appreciate they have refrigerated vinegar for our dishes. Looking forward to be back!

I decided to go to Mr. Dim Sum for a weeknight dinner. There was no wait, which was great. The…read morerestaurant was pretty busy, but it's not particularly loud so it's very good for conversations. What is interesting about Mr. Dim Sum is that the size of the dim sum itself is much larger than expected. In other dim sum restaurants I've been to, most of the dumplings I see are generally small. These ones here are huge and packed with flavor. If this is your first time here, I'd recommend ordering in waves just because you might be surprised by the portion sizes here. The food came out generally pretty quickly, and overall I liked the food. Parking is very easy since it's in the Southcenter mall, so there are always spots available, though they may not be super close to the restaurant. The staff was friendly too! While this was not the best dim sum I've had, it was solid and definitely will satisfy your craving for dim sum.
