We aren't in Katy much but some friends swear by this place and took us. We went late night before they closed so we had all the staffs attention. They were nice enough to let us know right away what dishes we should order first as they take longest to rotate. Soup dumplings to be specific. So good! This is more of the everybody order lots of things and split it all vibe. So order accordingly for maximum enjoyment! The design and decor of the this place is really cool. Lots to look at and take photos of. read more

Service was decent. Food comes out fresh, hot, and quickly. Everything we ordered was fried to perfection. And you can eat it all with no sauces needed bc nothing was bland. The highlight was the lava bun, it comes out boiling hot in the inside so be careful. The dessert puddings were the only thing bland. But it could be bc all are orders had so much flavor to them. Will be back for the lava buns. read more

I love what has been added to the ambiance and menu for this favorite of mine. I will admit that I haven't visited in a long time, but I continue enjoying dim sum and this location. That said, it was a long wait between ordering the food and being served. However, they apologized for the delay and it still tastes as good as they always have served. read more

Amazing. Ordered the steamed bbq pork buns...soft, not tons of bread so it had great flavor. Make sure to take the paper off the bottom of the buns first...I ate some paper lol. The shrimp chive dumplings (spicy) were absolutely great. Then the spicy Sichuan chicken wings were huge and I thought at first it was over battered but no, these bad boys were all chicken with lots of meat and the spicy kick was perfect. So big tha 2 people can definitely share but so good you should still get 2 orders as you will be craving them later. read more

We went to this place while visiting family in Katy. Good variety of dishes, especially since we had some family members who are picky eaters, and not familiar with dim sum. Everything was great. We were a party of eight so we ordered a lot. Our favorites: the fried rice, egg noodles, spicy dumplings, soup dumplings and the fried pork belly. For dessert, you must try the coconut bunnies... they were super cute and delicious! read more

Dim sum with a modern twist! finally trying this place out and I love their heavy emphasis on fried garlic. The classic steamed dumplings were so good - sho mai/shu mai and har gow. the riced rolls with Chinese sausage was different than the usual but who doesn't love sausage? Wasn't a fan of the fried dumplings but was definitely unique. The XLB wasn't a favorite either. Overall, a little pricey compared to Chinatown but as expected since we aren't there! Service was good as well, seriously can't complain. Because they nail the usual favorites I love, recommend this spot if you needed a dim sum place in the area read more

If you don't want to drive all the way to Bellaire, serviceable dim sum in Katy plaza here. A bit pricey and no pushcarts, but its fresh and food comes out quick. Service is a bit hit or miss and the restaurant isn't huge, so be prepared for a wait. All that sad, for dim sum offerings, it's fine. They got your siu mai that are fairly well stuffed (but could have finer ground pork), har gao with a good amount of shrimp but thicker dumpling skins, xiao long bao which are individually put in aluminum cups that have soup but are kinda meh. Pork and chive pocket dumplings are pan fried to a crisp and homey. The spicy wontons had great balance and were tender, probably the best of the dumpling rotation. The fried food rotation is crispy but not greasy. The football is crispy, though filling a bit light. The shrimp balls are very crispy and super packed with ground shrimp, which pairs well with the sauces. Sesame balls are a bit denser than I would like, but the red bean filling was good. Turnip cake, while not deep fried was a good soft, crisp contrast. Soy sauce noodles are good if you need some filler, especially for the kids. Sad they don't have the ho fun, but can't get it all. read more

If you are looking for Dim Sum in the far west Houston area, Dim Sum Box is a good option. This tiny Dim Sum shack is located in Katy Asian Town. The menu is not extensive like the Dim Sum shacks in Houston Chinatown. But the popular items are there. The restaurant also applies some modern touches to the standard dim sum and hor teas. Overall, our party of three were really satisfied with the food. The dim sum were fresh, tasty, and not saturated with MSG. Table service was extremely attentive and friendly. As expected, prices were higher than Chinatown. We definitely will return. read more

Cute small dim sum spot in Katy! The prices are a bit higher than Bellaire prices so expect to splurge here! The ordering system is like usual dim sum spots. After being seated they give you the menus and a order sheet. Then they bring out all of the food. You pay at the counter at the end. The siu mai (shao mai) was the best I've had in Houston. You can tell they are hand made and not frozen bought! So juicy and flavorful. They're also pretty big in size too! The pork soup dumplings were okay. I wasn't a fan of the vinegar sauce. I do like how they're small and easy to eat! The special fried rice was very good! There's Chinese bbq, fresh shrimp, and egg. I love how it came out in a shape of a heart! The rice rolls were good. I wish there were more shrimps in every bite. LAVA BUNS!! - best lava buns in Houston. You really do get the lava out of the buns. Perfect ratio of sweet and salty with a crispy outside layer. I would be careful eating these as it is full of lava custard inside! The har gow were good too! I love how Dim Sum Box uses fresh jumbo shrimp as an ingredient. It makes sense why they're pricier than Bellaire spots. *Not pictured* The fried turnip cake was SO GOOD. This is my favorite dish. The ingredients are fresh and the cakes are thick! I was so exited to eat it i forgot about taking a photo. read more

I don't know where people are going to eat in Bellaire that's better than the shumai here- do tell, because I think this place is REALLY good. The BBQ garlic fried rice is my kid's favorite. The lava buns are great egg custard buns. Good flavor in lotus leaf wraps. Love it read more

I usually have dim sum in Chinatown, but my parents had a guest in town so we went to Asia Town. Parking was easy as we got there right at opening and secured a table quickly. They have pictures on the menu which is handy and it comes in Chinese and English. We ordered the following food - most of it was mediocre and kind of greasy Pork and thousand year old egg congee - great flavor Egg roll - nothing special Radish cake - ok, but not very hot Fried mushrooms - one of my favorite dishes - batter was light Beef noodle roll - couldn't taste much beef Crystal shrimp dumplings - average Lava buns - they looked pretty but the custard was so runny I couldn't cut it to share I downgraded one star because they forgot to bring our shrimp dumplings out and I had to ask multiple times for them after they got busy. Overall, there are better dim sum places in Chinatown and I wouldn't go back to this place since it was also way overpriced at $6-8 a dish. read more

We were excited to try Dim Sum Box. It was ok at best and the fried rice was the highlight of the meal. The rice had good flavor and many pieces of pork throughout. It also came heart shaped which was cute. The soup dumplings in little tinfoil pie pans were extremely salty and had an off taste like they were old. The egg rolls were overly fried and just ok. Trader Joe's soup dumplings & egg rolls are definitely better. Service was slightly friendly and the food came promptly but we were one of two tables with customers. The place was empty. The restaurant was decorated nicely and appeared clean. Our bill for two was $48 + tip. read more

Most things that we tried were good! Pricey though. I personally would go elsewhere to get my dim sum, but it was still great to try. Something unique that they have are these mushroom fries - they're pretty good! I'd recommend at least trying them, as dim sum can get a bit repetitive once you know what you like. I'd also highly rec the baked snowy pork buns! Very yummy! One impressive fact about DSB is that they make their own chili oil in house! They said they make it weekly, which is really cool because most places just have their chili oil sitting there forever. The only thing that everyone at my table did not like is their xiao long bao. It's small, not that flavorful, and doesn't have that much soup. For what it's priced at, it is definitely not worth. They do have happy hour where certain menu items are discounted. Unfortunately I don't quite remember the hours eligible. read more

Never on this side of town so decided to try a spot in this shopping complex with the hubs. We chose wrong. For the price of dim sum here, you'd first expect a nicer ambience than the corner of a shopping center, bright windows, and food court tables and chairs. We order the 10-12 piece BBQ Pork Char Siu thinking this would be the most filling part to go along with our dumplings based on the picture. WRONG. Very thin, quarter size pieces like I'm enjoying a tasting menu. Mind you, they were delicious little morsels but I still don't think worth the $15. At this point still VERY hungry. The pork soup dumplings come out first, I found these to be sour and the complimenting ginger sauce with it also not great- pass. Finally had the Sichun Spicy Pork & shrimp wontons, these were the best part. The flavor was good, little spice, savory, fresh chive and pork flavor and smooth, consistent texture to the wrapper. Some highlights here but ended up going around the corner for more food since I was still hungry and didn't want to pay arm and leg here for more tiny food. read more

Visited: Dec. 2022 I tried this place out for the first time. It's owned by the same person who owns Fung's Kitchen. The dim sum menu was shorter than their usual restaurant one. The food did take a while to come out but the dishes came out piping hot and fresh. I was curious about the Lava Buns since I had never tried it from the restaurant style and I actually liked it. There were plenty of filling and the salted egg yolk part was tasty. The shrimp rice noodle wrap was my absolute fav because the rice noodle was smooth, bouncy and not too soggy. In addition, the shrimp was just perfect. The chicken feet was okay. The black bean sauce didn't get soaked enough within the chicken feet. The xiao mai was juicy and meaty. The table was dirty before I sat down at it. Are they not cleaned right after each customer? read more

Great little dim sum spot. Good spot to go with others and share a variety of plates. The service was great and everyone was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions. Nice decor. Great spot to check out with family or friends. I came for the soup dumplings and they did not disappoint. read more

I've been searching for a soup dumpling place for YEARS after COVID shut down my haven, and this is definitely a contender. The steamed pork buns were light and fluffy, filling was flavorful (one or two more spoons would've been perfect). Got three XL soup dumplings: wasabi, garlic, and truffle. Started off with garlic because I knew what flavor to expect and it delivered! Wanted garlic and got a full pop of it. Truffle might make you feel fancy, but the dropper allows you to control the intensity of it. Wasabi, I could eat an entire gallon in the comfort of my home so only God can judge me. And the egg tarts? Delivery is an introvert's best friend, but I'll see if I have a seat to take in the vibe of the place. The menu is definitely worth the trip. read more

KATY, TX 77449 / HONG KONG, DIM SUM / MULTIPLE VISITS / TAKEOUT -The prices are pretty steep. -They sold us old coconut jelly desserts that tasted like it was hanging in the refrigerator for too long absorbing all sorts of funky flavors. -Many of the dim sum dishes were over-steamed, soggy with skin breaking off super easily. They do some dishes better than Tim Ho Wan, so we frequent both places. Hopefully, more dim sum options open up in Katy Asia Town, to keep the quality strong. read more

Top-tier dim sum, and I've tried nearly every dim sum place in the city. Standards like the taro puff were well executed, complemented by creative dishes such as the crave-worthy mushroom fries. Jasmine tea was brewed perfectly. The stylish interior, albeit on the smaller side, gives it a hipper ambience than a more traditional dim sum restaurant. And because it's in Katy Asian Town, you can go for a nice walk afterwards and explore the shops or find dessert if you didn't already enjoy a delicious egg custard tart. read more

What a great spot to eat dim sum in the Katy area. Nice and quick service, nice menu although I wish there was more pictures. My favorite item of the day was the shumai and second place would go to the rice noodle roll. Everything else was still good And I would come back. read more

First time here with my parents over the weekend and I am impressed! We wanted our Dimsum fix but did not feel like driving all the way to Bellaire and potentially waiting for a long time for a table. We found this place located in Katy Asian Town (We were on the side of Kinokuniya) and I am so glad we did! There were quite a few people inside already but we were able to get a table right away. The interior is soo pretty and is very aesthetic. There are high top tables and the tables are huge so for 3 people we definitely had a ton of space! There was a menu with pictures of the food and also a paper menu where we could check off how many of each dish that we would like. They have the traditional dimsum items and also some items that are new to me. For example, Siu Mai but make it chicken, shrimp, and lemongrass version. (We ordered this and it was really good!!- very fragrant and flavorful) As soon as we handed our paper to the waiter, not even a minute later we were being given dishes from our order. We were all super shocked because we did not think that the food would come out that fast. The staff were all super friendly and attentive to take our empty dishes really fast so we could always have a clean table. As for the food- the food was pretty good, not bad for not being in Bellaire and I could see us definitely coming back when we need some Dimsum but don't want to drive too far. The only thing that I did not like was the Shrimp Ball- it was really dry on the inside and wasn't what I am used to. I think it might have been overcooked or sitting out for a while. However, all of the other things that we ordered were good. For dessert, we ordered the baked lava custard buns. It did take a minute for them to come out but it was really good! I do wish that the "lava" was hotter though. It was kinda lukewarm-warm so it didn't burn my tongue but it felt like they kinda forgot to bring them to us when it came out. Nevertheless, still really good! Not too sweet, buttery, and I loved the taste of it. Can't wait to come back! A few things that I remember we ordered: -Siu mai (pork and shrimp version) -Har gao -Shrimp Ball -Lo bak go (turnip cake) -Chinese Broccoli -Lemongrass Siu Mai -Lemongrass/chicken/shrimp flat noodles -Pork and chive pan fried dumpling -Baked lava custard buns read more

We have been here multiple times and like that we have such a close, good dim sum spot in Katy. Everything comes out fresh and hot, made to order. Service is always attentive and quick- ordering, bringing out food, payment table side and providing to-go boxes. Pork shrimp shao mai 4.5/5 average sized but good flavor and juicy. Cucumber salad 2.5/5 crunchy with decent sauce but no additional seasoning. Fried taro pork puff 3.5/5 needs more taro filling but a good crunch and crisp. Baked golden lava bun 5/5 warm liquid center (tricky to eat cleanly) with golden crisp on the outside. Would have recommended they bring this out last though since it's dessert rather than the 2nd plate they brought out. Fried shrimp balls 4.5/5 comes with sweet and sour sauce which enhances the shrimp flavor. Lemongrass chicken shrimp shao mai 4/5 but strong lemongrass flavor if you really like that. We will be back as always! read more

We had passed this place a bunch before we finally tried it out today. It was after 1pm, they were still packed. We got in the line for 10-15mins. The restaurant is new and clean. Ordering and paying process was smooth. We felt a little bit abandoned but not a big deal. They're busy. We got everything we need though. Since it was our first time, I wanted to try everything. We ordered too much food lol. Not all of them up to our liking even they're fresh and hot. - Roasted pork: crispy skin which was good but it's too fatty and salty. Not worth the price at all. We'll pass next time - Lava bun: very good especially when it's warm - preserved egg and pork porridge: good - pork buns, pork, shrimp shu mai, Chinese broccoli, black beans ribs, egg tarts were on point like other dimsum places - turnip cake: urgh I didn't like it at all. Pass! - pork pan fried dumpling: both my kid and husband didn't like it. Pass! - special fried rice: okay. A little bit bland here and super salty there. - calamari: okay - coconut jello bunnies: super cute. You can order for your kid but I don't like the taste at much. It tasted like can coconut milk. Aroy brand for example. And I wish the lady didn't grab them from the display shelf. Not sure how long they had been there. - Duck eggroll: I thought it's okay. My husband said it so little meat that he couldn't taste it. Not worth the price. Their water tasted like soap/directly from their sink?! Kid cup lid looked dirty. We had our own water luckily. We will come back to this place. We just need to be careful about what we order. read more

For Dim Sum in Katy, the food is fairly good. The restaurant itself is not large, but pretty clean. During the weekend there can be a wait. So be prepared to have a seat on some metal folding chairs outside. Hopefully it's not too hot. The service is a bit slow, but not bad. Food prices are higher than expected. I would recommend if you are looking for Dim Sum in Katy. Enjoy Folks. read more

If you are REALLY craving dim sum and don't want to go to Bellaire, this is an option but it is pretty expensive for what you could get in Chinatown - for probably a third of the price. Again, good for a quick bite, but be ready to spend the money. read more

This was quite pricey for what it was. There were some things that I enjoyed, but I came in thinking it was going to be a normal dim sum cart experience. Because they took a lot of creative liberties with their food, it was hard to know what I was ordering and gauge if it's what I usually like. What I didn't like were the rolled rice noodle things - they were very interesting. The service was definitely not the best and you could tell they were ready to get us out of there even though there weren't very many people there. I did like the chili sauce and their other sauces. read more

The Good: Clean, new, nice service. Very good food. The bad: worker with two large dirty toolboxes in middle of customer's area still working on restaurant. Shelves with many loose electrical wires dangling dangerously nearby. Excessively loud (I screamed) long fire alarm "testing" went off 3 times during our stay! Had to take extra Rx to slow down my heart. Tension caused head & stomach pains lasting several hours after meal. No apologies from young manager. Very expensive for such small servings. Our bill was almost $50 for only the two of us. No discount for the upsets. Unprofessional handling of all. read more

Two photos because I was overwhelmed by the food because once it arrived, it kept piling on in the best way. Every single item was incredible.

The servers are nice and I will say the restaurant theme and decor is good, but I think those are the only things that are good at this place unfortunately. We were not greeted/seated fast either, but I understand the employees could have been busy at that exact time. I came with my non-asian boyfriend and we were given forks immediately instead of chopsticks which I thought was a bit weird as I noticed every table were given chopsticks and not forks. There were other non-asian people there as well. I saw so many tiktoks and reels on instagram advertising this restaurant and wanted to give it a try. I ordered about 3-4 items and the cost was $22+. Completely not worth it and a waste of money. All food items were below average in terms of quality and taste. We got the steamed shao mai, 2 fried shrimp dumplings, and bbq pork bun; all of which are classic dimsum staples for me. The steamed items were so over-steamed it tasted like absolute mush. No flavor or seasonings at all. Terrible. I was a bit appalled that they could even serve that to paying customers. The only things edible were the fried dumplings and they were not that great. Tasted basic. My suggestion? Unless they change up their recipes, I don't ever see myself coming back nor would I recommend anyone I know to go here. You'd get better food worth your time and money somewhere else. So disappointed. read more

During our visit we tried the Shrimp Ha Gow. The rice noodle was still too sticky and my shrimp kept falling out of its receptacle. Next, we tried the Spicy Sichuan Chicken and Shrimp chive dumplings. The Sichuan peppercorn flavor definitely overpowered the dish. The fried jalapeño garlic Ha Gow was the sleeper on the menu. Very tasty. The truffle XL soup dumpling was worth the try. Great flavor from the truffle oil. Lastly we finished the visit with steamed lava buns. Not my favorite. The custard which is runny, had a powdery aftertaste. Prefer the normal custard buns at spots like HK Dim Sum. With all things considered, it's a decent spot. read more

Dimsum is a family favorite for us, and Dimsum Box is one of our go-tos when the craving hits. I've been to this spot multiple times, always ordering the same dishes: Fried Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice, Shao Mai (Shrimp & Pork) Dumplings, Har Gow, Chicken Feet with Black Beans, Pork Ribs with Black Beans, and Fung Pao Calamari. The consistency and quality never disappoint. Having grown up eating a lot of Chinese food, these dishes somewhat bring back a sense of nostalgia--they're the closest to what I remember from my childhood back home in the Philippines within the Houston area. You order through a paper in which you mark the items you'd like and bring it up front. The interior is small but their decor brings a smile to my face as they showcase adorable, plush dumplings up front. read more
