Quick and easy process. You can order things via kiosks or with a cashier. The wait time was under 15min from the time we ordered to one of the servers coming over with the food. I think this is different from the vibes of an old school dim sum restaurant but honestly a great way to satisfy your cravings/enjoy it with a more modern vibe. I love that there's a little water dispenser with cold and hot water for dine-in. Little plates for people who do family stye. Our party ordered a variety of items. My favorite was the crispy chicken wings. Warm and flavorful. That bit of crisp on the outside was just enough to contrast the tender chicken flesh. The pork crab soup dumplings are a generous portion with plenty of broth on the inside. Honestly had so much flavor on its own that you don't even need the black vinegar. The fried HK shrimp dumplings were pretty good. Delicious plump shrimp but the fried dough didn't offer much. I probably would just stick to my usual har goes. My friends ordered the fried coconut bread which was a nice way to wrap up the meal. Overall nice chill atmosphere. Very clean area and music wasn't too loud. read more

I have been going here occasionally since they opened. The dumplings and various main courses have been acceptable for the most part, but I recently had what was the worst chinese meal in a very long time. DO NOT order anything from the "Special Summer Menu." It is essentially a bowl of tepid noodles slathered with some horrible commercial sauce and a few vegetables. You can do better at literally any other Chinese take out place in the area for less money. Mine was with some awful peanut sauce that made the dish inedible. These items should not appear on the menu. Also had the greasy scallion pancakes which were served with some sort of indistinguishable sauce (not soy, closer to hoisin, which is not typical). Again, could not finish as they were beyond the grease factor. I wanted to order the vegetable dumplings, which were reliably good, but for some reason did not appear on their automated menu system. Finally, as a Caucasian customer I always enjoy having the racist staff bring me a plastic fork instead of chopsticks. It is the final insult to a mediocre experience. read more

Update (months later): down grade from 5 to 2 stars. To me it's no longer a dim sum place, based on my perspective. Unfortunately, many dishes have already been removed from the menu. Some of the iconic dim sum items that really define the experience are no longer available. With these changes, the variety and appeal have gone down quite a bit. It's disappointing to see such a quick shift in under 6 months, and honestly, I no longer see a reason to return. Previous review Welcome to the neighborhood, Dim Sum Bloom! This place is a convenient gem for hot dim sum and full meals. I was originally planning to grab takeout on my way to play pickleball at the park -- but since it started raining and the interior looked so clean and inviting, I decided to dine in instead. I'm glad I did! The restaurant is modern and cozy, and you can even watch some of the food being prepared by machine. It's fun to see -- and the best part is, the quality is consistent from the first dish to the last. Everything I tried was fresh and delicious. They're currently running a grand opening promotion for the first 50 customers, so it's a great time to stop by and give it a try. I'm already planning to come back for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered and paid for this on line with a specific pick up time. I was kept in the loop when they started to prepare the order and another txt to tell me it is ready with the order number. My order was packaged inside a foil line store bag and sealed on the top. It kept the food warm for over 2 hours. As all the containers are microwaveable all it need was one minute and it was piping hot. All our dishes was delicious with a large enough portion of the Claypot rice to have a second meal. Yes, the bottom rice was crispy and crunchy as it supposed to be. read more

Recommended dishes are the spare ribs with taro (both almost indistinguishable from each other in texture, in a positive way) and the coconut bread dipped with condensed milk. The inside is certainly roomy, clean, and still new. Service is attentive and friendly. Overall, there's a lot of the dim sum experience that is missing. Many of the reasons you'd want dim sum--the carts, the loud families coming together on a weekend, the smell of fresh steaming dim sum dishes--aren't here. It's an okay stand in if you want dim sum that's convenient and on the go. read more

Ambiance - what a cute spot! I wasn't expecting it to be as aesthetic as it was from the outside. However, it's super cute, clean and well maintained. Service - we placed an order for takeout and it was ready within 15 minutes. Quick, friendly and efficient. Packing was great! High quality containers and delivery bag. Food - pretty good. I liked the mini dumplings best. I wasn't a big fan of their shrimp dumplings because it smelled a little "shrimpy" Verdict - I'll definitely be back to try dining in and some other entree dishes. Yum! read more

I've tried Dim Sum Bloom twice--once dining in and once for takeout--and both experiences were solid. The place is clean, with a modern vibe. You can order at the kiosks up front or go directly to the counter. The staff is friendly (more on that later). Food-wise, here's what I've tried so far: Louisiana-style wings (regular and spicy), beef scallion pancake wrap, pork & crab soup dumplings, pork & shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, steamed traditional pork buns and steamed honey roast pork buns. The soup dumplings are best eaten in-house. Even though I live only 5 minutes away, takeout caused them to stick together and tear when picked up. The dumpling skins could be a bit thinner to let the flavors shine more. The wings were surprisingly excellent--flavorful and well-cooked. During our dine-in visit, the kitchen mistakenly sent out the spicy version instead of regular. We decided to try them anyway. They had a real kick--be warned if you're sensitive to spice! A staff member noticed us struggling and kindly brought out some ice to help cool things down. Looking forward to trying more dishes in the future. read more

I came here with fellow Yelp Elites Lonnie and Mei with our daughters. It is an all girl's day for us and seeing that it is a grand opening, I was very excited to go try out their dim sum dishes. The place from first sight was pretty appealing with the dumpling sign plastered on top of the restaurant. The whole place was very orange! I was amazed at the ceiling full of rectangular greeneries flowing out of the rectangular lights. There was free warm and cold water for grabs. I was having difficulty dispensing the water and luckily a guy came to help. Did not know I have to push the lever to dispel the water. I was like out of my mind for not knowing! Anyways, I saw that there was a line of couple of people waiting to order so I decided to take advantage of the self kiosks and luckily there were 2 by the entrance! I was like scanning the whole menu and they had many dim sum dishes to try out like spare ribs, lotus leaf wraps, and Shumai, my favorite dim sum dishes. However since I had so many of those dishes in my life, I decided to get pan fried wagyu beef buns (came in 4) for $8.95. I also got the Thai pineapple fried rice and egg fried rice for entree dishes. Mei got steamed black golden egg yolk buns for us to share and they were so good. Very soft and the shiny gold dye on the skin was very unique. The yolk was very pasty though. The wagyu bee flavor bun was very good! You can taste the special wagyu beef compared to other beef buns. It tasted like good quality beef! Now as for the Thai pineapple fried rice, the curry was very strong that the whole bowl was yellowed to death! You know the whole rice bowl was all curried up! Tasted really well with the curry powder! There was enough pineapples and chicken was very good and thick lean quality! The one thing I didn't like about it was the raisins. I think the raisins did not fit the bowl at all in my opinion. Wish they didn't add any of that. Other than the pineapple fried rice was good! The egg fried rice was pretty good too because of the amount of fried egg pieces the rice bowl got! They gave a lot of fried egg! read more

A difficult spot to get to unless you are driving over here. It literally, right off the Cross Island parkway in the small Bay Terrace strip mall. There is a good amount of mall parking in front. It's also pretty close to the Fort Totten park. This place is the newest location for Dim Sum Bloom. With several locations: two in Manhattan, one in Long Island. Service is friendly and efficient. To order, you have the choice of using a kiosk by the front door or walk over to the cashier for more personal service. Decor: bright, clean and spacious. A good amount of seating. Booth seating surrounds the area. Good air flow. Very comfortable. Food. Truffle shrimp dumplings. Black in color. Nice strong truffle flavor in the filling. Highly disliked the skin. It was too thick, gooey and sticky. I threw away the skin and just ate the filling. Tried the Four Colorful soup dumplings. Each dumpling is a different flavor. I didn't like the unusual flavors. I would suggest to stick with the regular flavors of soup dumplings. Those are good. Had a couple of other dishes, not worth mentioning. Customer service is great. Five stars for them. read more

The ambiance is quiet, clean and very nice for a bite to eat. The severs are kind and helpful. My favorite dishes thus far are the beef and broccoli, stir fried string beans, and their scallion pancakes. The dumplings are good but their hot dishes I like better. The next time I stop in I plan on having the shumai read more

You're greeted at the entrance by a cute dumpling statue and it's very modern, roomy and clean inside. You order at the counter and the dishes are brought to you. All the dishes came in plastic containers, even when you dine in. The food was ok and probably convenient for people who live in the neighborhood, but unfortunately we would not drive there for dim sum again. read more

Easygoing spot where you order on a screen then pick up food once ready. They have plenty of comfortable seating and also water filter. Food was good but it is overpriced. The flavors were good and not oily which is great. The claypot rice was service in a plastic container but had the crispy rice at the bottom. We will be back since it's a nice casual and easy spot for a quick meal with the kids. read more

NYC's only robotic kitchen is serving up some seriously impressive dim sum. This is their newly opened location. From juicy soup dumplings to wok-kissed dishes, each bite hits with bold, balanced flavors and is always on point. Must-try: The HK-style fried shrimp dumpling with that golden, crispy crust -- seriously the best I've had. It's light, crunchy, with little crispy bits that make every bite extra satisfying. FREE plush toy for every $75 purchase. (While supplies last) This place is the perfect mix of modern technique and traditional flavor. If you're all about quality and consistency, this spot needs to be on your radar. Follow me @foodie.elite on IG & TikTok for more. read more

Came in for lunch with fellow Yelpers Nancy and Lonnie. We each ordered at the counter and awaited for our receipt number to be called; The menu does have a varieties of Asian cuisines; from Cantonese dim-sum to soup dumplings, soup noodles and even claypot rice dishes. I got the Black Pepper Beef with rice dish and an order of Steam black golden egg yolk buns to share with fellow Yelpers. I liked the rice dish as the beef was well seasoned and not over cooked. The egg yolk bun tasted really good; truly enjoyed my meal. The price for a meal here is a bit higher; a rice dish and an order of buns cost over $25 read more

The name "Dim Sum Bloom" strikes me as a bit odd, as this restaurant chain offers a limited selection of (Cantonese) dim sum. Instead, Dim Sum Bloom is a fast-casual Chinese restaurant that offers a mix of pan-regional dim-sum and dishes, as well as some familiar Chinese-American "take-out" classics in a very comfortable setting convenient to Fort Totten Park. However, the food we tried is generally better elsewhere. Dishes we've tried: - Pork and Shrimp Shumai 豬肉鮮蝦燒賣 $8.95; $9.74 with tax. Our dish seemed a bit dry, but was lean and tasty. This dish wasn't served with a dipping sauce, but could have used one. - Steamed Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce 爭艷拌鳳爪: $5.95; $6.48 with tax. This dish seemed flavored more with five spice than black beans. - Rosemary Mustard Flavored Shrimp 香草芥味虾: $16.95; $18.45 with tax. Served with white rice. The shrimp were over-breaded and over-sauced; goopy instead of crisp. This dish could have used a green vegetable to cut the goopiness. - Pan-Fried Wagyu Beef Bao 和牛生煎包: $8.95; $9.75 with tax. 生煎包 (sheng jian bao) generally have soup inside. These came with a sweetened soy sauce dipping sauce instead. - Four Colorful Soup Dumplings 四色小籠包: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. Served with a sweetened soy sauce instead of vinegar. - Singapore Fried Vermicelli 星洲炒米粉: $11.95; $13.01 with tax. OK, with a good curry flavor and fresh deveined shrimp. The noodles seemed a bit overcooked and slightly powdery. Service, Atmosphere, Other: As a fast-casual restaurant, there is no waiter service. One may order at the two kiosks by the restaurant's entrance, or at the restaurant's main counter. Ordering at the kiosk requires a phone number, but the kiosk does not provided a texted receipt. One will have to remember the order number provided by the kiosk. There is an order board that displays when order numbers are ready for pickup at the restaurant's main counter. Dim Sum Bloom's atmosphere is probably its best feature. The restaurant is very comfortable -- well-ventilated, well-lit (leaning a bit warm for you food photographers), has comfortable seating, and is relatively quiet -- the sound level informally measured generally in the mid-60's decibels during our visits. There is complementary hot and cold water. There are two well-maintained unisex restrooms. read more

I really wanted to like this place more. I took my father here for Father's Day since he had mentioned liking the place during the soft launch. For what it was, it was okay but definitely not worth coming back. The prices were a little high when comparing them to the portions of the food we received. Everything came in these little cardboard/plastic to go tubs, and took approximately 20 minutes to prepare (with our chicken dumplings coming 15 minutes later). The Beef Scallion Pancake was cold upon arrival to the table, and very greasy. The remainder of the food was thankfully warmed. The pan fried pork buns (bao) were mostly doughy with little meat. The Chicken dumplings, chicken and broccoli, and egg rolls were alright. I just feel like a trip to Flushing is more worth it compared to this experience. One detail I will appreciate is the staff, very friendly and kind. I hope to have a better experience the next time I visit. read more

New store in my neighborhood I see they said they using robot to cook so I came to check it out . They do have few cooking robot in the restaurant. We order on the kiosks then waited about 15 minutes. The staff is very friendly with smiles i asked why some picture not showing is sold out? She said the picture is not ready yet. The place is clean with free hot or cold water. No need tips when you dine in I believe. We ordered the chicken feet with black bean and a pancake . The chicken feet is ok but the Scallion Pancake just too oily. read more

I know this was a soft opening so I'm not going to judge the service and kinks they need to work out in regard to operations. You order at the counter and they give you to go containers to either take to a table or take out. We opted to dine in. Anything spicy is mala. They don't warn you or tell you this. For those that don't know, mala is type of spicy seasoning that gives you a numbing sensation. I'm not a big fan and was quite disappointed. Soup dumplings had a very sour flavor to it. Almost vinegary. Not to mention, they package everything in to go containers, put the soy sauce in the middle, squishing the dumpling, so the middle dumpling lacks the soup. They pack the dumplings so close together, they stick to reacher, tearing when you grab one. Again, we dined in so it wasn't a timing issue. They tell you that these food is instagram ready... but it's far from it. (See photo) Dan Dan noodles, also very vinegary taste to it. Same mala numbing seasoning. Overcooked, soft noodle. Packaging was way too small, can't mix the noodles properly. Mapo tofu was okay. Same mala numbing seasoning. Portion was good but they put it in a paper container, which by dinners end, you can see the oil penetrate through. They should really reconsider these containers. The amount of rice does not equate to the amount of mapo tofu they give you. Edamame was by far their best. Plump. Perfectly steamed and salted. The restaurant is quaint. Great decor and choice of material. Clean because it just opened. Hoping that the food would match the decor but far from it. Menu, signage, atmosphere lacks identity. Menu mentions Taiwanese flavor, sichuan flavors, Louisiana chicken. No real region/identity. For the price you pay, I expected more. Was hoping for it to be good, saving us the trip to go to YouGarden, but I rather go there. It's much cheaper and the food is more authentic. read more

Dim Sum Bloom - Instagram worthy soup dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Bay Terrace, New York

We were hungry we found this place close to my dentist in a plaza that has plenty of parking and other stores and restaurants; the restaurant is very clean, but my other half described it one step up from fast food might not be wrong considering everything was served and throw away containers. They did have a water station when I found very helpful to those of us who love water. I had their Thai iced tea, which is a favorite wasn't sweet enough. I ordered a chicken wings one order of soup dumplings crispy noodles and my other half ordered peanut beef sauté I'm gonna say my noodles were OK. The chicken wings were amazing until I bit into them and they were little pink. I thought it was me so I went into another one. They did the right thing they took it off my bill explaining to me that they couldn't cook it any further cause that was the sauce that made it pink I beg to differ on that but they gave us a credit so I think they did what was right unfortunately I really wanted those wings. It's not my local area so I'm not sure if I'd dine in there again or just skip it and go somewhere else, but you can give it to world to see for yourself. read more

Atmosphere and service were great. The low rating is only due to food. Got the Sauteed Pork Belly W Green Pepper W. White Rice + House Pickled Cabbage. The Sautéed Pork Belly W Green Pepper completely lacked Wok Hei (a char aroma achieved in stir frying with intense heat on a wok). As a result it tasted like someone just boiled the pork belly and green peppers in a pot of oil. This is almost the equivalent of serving steak that was boiled vs grilled. The "handmade fruit" tea that it came with was also very very disappointing. It tasted like fruit syrup mixed in water. read more

I stopped in for a quick order of crab pork soup dumplings, scallion, pancakes with beef and milk buns with condensed milk for dessert. The milk buns are really yummy. The soup dumplings are small and tasted good. The scallion pancakes with beef were good. The food was just good. The place is pretty clean. The bathrooms were clean. The ordering is very smooth. The staff is very pleasant. I'd go back and try some other things, but I wouldn't go out of my way really to go there. read more

The food wasn't bad at all, but it definitely wasn't great. My mother had "boneless" ribs and spent more time picking out the bones than eating what she felt wasn't very good. She didn't finish the small dish but did enjoy the wonton soup. My pork soup dumplings were on the bland side. But as a picky eater, I'd rather bland than over flavored. read more

Fast service. Food was good but you can definitely tell the difference between this and a sit down full service dim sum restaurant. Fried shrimp has a lot more batter than I like but good flavors. I liked the soup dumpling the best. Ambiance is nice inside, and cool spot for a quick bite. read more

It's an interesting concept in fast food with a techie modern twist. I really wanted to like it, as it's the first of its kind, and it's in Baybridge Commons with ample parking. Unfortunately, I cannot. If this restaurant was located in an airport, I could see it doing well for a captive clientele. But given it's Queens where there's a plethora of fantastic restaurants, this misses the mark in so many ways. Upon entry, you order your food on 2 kiosks, pay, then proceed to the counter to pickup your order. There are some dim sum options, some Shanghainese options, some Cantonese style clay pot casseroles, some stir fry options, Louisiana fried chicken, bubble teas & yakult type beverages. A bit of a strange hodge podge of offerings. Expect some sticker shock for what it is. For example, chicken shu mai is $8.95 for 6 pieces, a small portion of stir fried string beans for $11.95, and a single small lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice will set you back $6.95. IMHO, the food is pricey for what it is, pricey for the portion sizes, and also pricey for the quality. You can watch behind the glass as a lady makes dumplings, and further back there are electronic stir fry machines being operated by staff. We waited about 25 minutes for our number to be called, and you can watch the progress of your order numbers on a TV screen. Once you find a seat, (most are taken by people sitting and waiting for their food), there's a self service area with a hot/cold water machine, paper plates, shot glass sized paper cups, and toothpicks. Everything is served in cardboard to-go containers with plastic lids or plastic takeout containers regardless if you are dining in or taking out. Note: this does NOT work for fried dumplings which were soggy. You get prepackaged disposable utensil packs with chopsticks, a soup spoon, a fork and a napkin. Very wasteful all around. The food itself was lackluster and the flavors were off putting. Lotus leaf rice had a gritty texture, our dumplings were soggy (shouldn't have been covered), and the clay pot rice was sad with like 4 pieces of dried out pork belly. Oddly enough, the rice itself was both undercooked AND burnt on the bottom. How?!? The string beans were supposed to be Shanghainese style, but they were sour and lacked the crispy, salty, crunch you'd expect. Like I said, I really wanted to like this concept, but sadly, I don't see it surviving long when there are so many other delicious restaurants to choose from in Queens. read more

I was curious about this place and like to try new restaurants. But I guess their customer service may really like spicy food. I however, do not. Even the pineapple fried rice is a bit spicy which was surprising because it didn't advertise as soon. If you like really dumplings and spicy Asian food Hunan and Szechwan style them by all means go for it. However, the workers and the customer may have different ideas of what is spicy and what is not. Very nice take out containers! Lol. But my daughter will be eating my food because it was all spicy. I also tried the scallion pancakes and they were good (not spicy thank goodness) but a little bit tough so I'm going to try to reheat them to see if they are better. I will not be going back because it was a bit expensive as well. read more

Strongly recommended to go and try ! Friendly services and clean space to dine in easy parking too

I want to like this place but it sucks. The price is high but it is self serve so you save on tip. The portions are ridiculously small. Everything is served in a to go container which creates a lot of garbage. The food is low quality as if everything was Frozen. Plus, on the storefront, they are advertising some sort of Automated Food preparation Robot from China. Why is this important? Well, put everything together and the food isn't entirely made to order from scratch. I believe this establishment is trying to save on Overhead by using all sorts of automation which leads to low quality food being prepared by that Robot Cooker thing. Strange world we are living in. (if the owner can disprove my theory, i will take this review down) read more

Not what I expected at all. This is definitely NOT Dim Sum but it's ok for dumplings. Nothing impressed me. I'll just drive to Flushing.

Food is always great and service is nice and fast. Never had any problems always fresh and great.

Dim Sum Bloom - Dim Sum Near Me - Bay Terrace, New York

I was excited a few months ago when I saw that this place was going to be opening. I tried it for the first time today, since I was driving right by. They were not very busy, so my food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the Four Color Soup Dumplings and the Fried Pork & Shrimp Wontons. However, I was given the wrong dumplings! They were probably the Four Color Shrimp Dumplings instead of Soup Dumplings, so I was disappointed; they were edible so I just ate them rather than waiting for a new order. The "fried shrimp & pork wontons" did not look like any wontons I have ever seen before; they were round & smaller than a ping pong ball, and ; they tasted baked rather than fried. Again, disappointing. I'm not impressed with this place at all. The supposedly cold water from the machine was actually room temperature. The air conditioning in the restaurant, even in the seating area, was not adequate at all. They are also quite expensive for the portion size. I may try this place another time, to order a main dish, but only if I'm in the immediate area; I would not make it a point of going back. I don't have high hopes for this place. The staff is very nice and friendly, but the food is mediocre, at best. read more

Food is ok; slightly overpriced. Service was good. Place feels slightly cramped when crowded.

Great food, excellent customer service, and an all-around happy atmosphere. Very clean and welcoming!
