This place has been a favorite of mine for years, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. It may be a smaller, family-owned spot, but the heart, passion, and consistency here are unmatched. Hands down, the best dim sum I've had in Arizona. Even when they're incredibly busy (which they always are for a reason), the service never feels rushed or careless. Sunni was absolutely amazing--so kind, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. You can tell she truly cares about the guests and the experience. There's something really special about supporting a local family business that pours so much love into what they do. You feel it in the food, the service, and the atmosphere. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know exactly what I'm talking about read more

I've been meaning to come here for years. I wish I hadn't. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. My first clue should have been no one was pushing around a steam cart. I didn't need a second clue. Overall meh. If you want dim sum there are other places that do it, and do it better. read more

We're back at one of our favorite dim sum spots in Arizona, and it's just as good as always. Same great food, good service, and plenty of parking! If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by. They also have a full menu of dishes for lunch and dinner, and everything is quite authentic. read more

Dim Sum Cafe - Dim sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Our lunch was wonton soup, siu mai, har gow, bean curd rolls, chicken egg rolls, and Shanghai soup dumplings. Here are my ratings: Bean curd rolls 5/5--well prepared and a tasty garlic sauce on top Wonton soup 5/5--delicate and delicious broth with massive wontons Chicken egg rolls 5/5--generous amount of filling and nicely crispy Siu mai, har gow, and soup dumplings were all strangely bland in comparison. The excellent chili sauce helped, but I prefer my dumplings to have some seasoning on their own. Service was attentive, although the kitchen was a little slow. Don't go for the atmosphere--what do you expect from a strip mall restaurant? I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I also would try them again. read more

Visiting AZ and my family and I decided we wanted Dim Sum for dinner. We found Dim Sum Cafe which was only a few minutes away from our hotel. Service was meh. She was nice towards the end of our dinner. Glad they served Dim Sum All Day. Food: Shrimp Steamed Dumpling Pork Pot Stickers Fried Rice Beef Chow Fun Shanghai Spup Dumplings aka XLB Pork / Shrimp Shumai All the dishes were delcious. Very flavorful. The shumai was huge and I really enjoyed the soup dumplings. I would return again. Small hole in the wall spot. Nothing fancy just good food. read more

Very mediocre Chinese spot. I had the beef chow fun ($17) which was flavorless and bland. I also ordered the chicken dumplings which was 4 tiny dumplings for $6. Not flavorful at all and tasted like it was cooked from frozen. I did pickup and pay at cashier, yet the cashier woman was unfriendly and demanded I pay a tip. I do not like bullying for tips so I left $0. There already was a $1 convenience charge built into the bill for pickup. Will not be back here as there are much better options in Mesa. read more

Our Dim Sum experience was delightful. While they did not have the carts, the food was fresh and delivered hot. We ordered on a a fill in card and found that method very relaxing. We were there for a wedding planning meeting and had an enjoyable meal while discussing. Everything we ordered was tasty. By far, it was the service that sold this gem. I accidentally left behind a gift shirt that was given to me at the meal. It was a Sunday and I didn't remember until they closed. I called on Monday in a panic and left a voice message. They were closed. I drove in on Tuesday first thing and when I walked in and saw the shirt placed carefully behind the counter, the gentleman working there handing it to me with a smile, and refused my tip. The shirt was irreplaceable and my panic was quickly replaced with his kindness. We will be back. read more

It's a small restaurant with big flavor. Every time my husband and I go here, it's phenomenal. The staff is always very attentive, they bring hot dishes out right away, and the food is always so flavorful and delicious. I'll be back soon for sure. read more

Good quality food!! We had been wanting yummy dim sum and pork! Fried was delish, it's something we always order at a new Asian restaurant. The service was nice. Seemed to be family owned. Small but cozy place which did accommodate larger parties. I especially loved the shrimp/pork dim sum options. Super delish! And the tray of sauces was super cute , was glad I was able to try all 3. The pork was yummy. Next time we order it we will get sauce on the side. Super saucy is good but that day we just wanted the pork fix. We will be returning. read more

The BEST dim sum in Arizona! Fresh and delicious! Their Hong Kong style clay pot and beef dishes are also amazing! They are a wonderful small, family business. We love it here and tell as many people as we can about them! Try the tarot buns for dessert too! So yummy! read more

My sister in law loves this place. Like really really loves this place, so went for a little family post Christmas weekend treat. 5 stars already bc it is in a little plaza (I love restaurants that are not pretentious, especially those located in non descript shopping plazas). Ambiance: Nothing fancy. Reminds me of the hole in the wall Chinese restaurants you see in movies, or that we would go to as kids in the 90s (just aged myself). Service: I will forewarn you- staff are not the friendliest. Food: Was pretty good. Menu is small, but that is ok because if you have too much, then you cannot always perfect your craft. We ordered: - Char siu bao (Pork BBQ buns). I'm sorry. As a Chinese woman, I could not get behind these. Maybe they were having a bad day, but the bread was very soggy, and fell apart in my hand right away. You don't want super gummy, doughy bao....but you don't want bao that cannot stick together. I will give them another shot though because my sister in law swears by them. - Xiao long bao (soup dumplings): they were good. Dumpling dough was tender. Pork was juicy, and the soup was delicately flavored. They didn't provide sliced ginger on the side though (not sure if they just don't do that in AZ?) to accompany the Xiao long bao. - Wonton noodle soup: light, delicate flavor. The wontons were also good, not too doughy, and not soggy (that is the worst!), and they were packed with flavor to balance against the lighter soup. Noodles were good too. - Eggplant - just get it. They were so tender, not super greasy, and the sauce was out of this world. - Hot oil sticks: you get these to dip in the wonton soup. These were SO GOOD. I usually don't like ordering these at restaurants because they're a) too doughy, which makes them heavy and sink in your stomach or 2) they're soaked too long in the oil, so they just again, sink in your stomach 3) they're served too cold. Here, none of that happened. These were warm a fluffy, and had a light crisp to them! - Scallion pancake - super tasty. read more

First time at Dim Sum Cafe in Mesa and so glad we came! Authentic Cantonese dim sum that's hard to find nearby and they serve it all day. The pork & shrimp shumai and the salt & pepper shrimp were both excellent. I enjoyed the chicken feet as well. Great service, great experience. Definitely worth the drive from Gilbert. read more

We were craving dim sum after rock climbing yesterday outdoors. This cafe was a welcome reprieve after being rained out and hailed on during the end of our climb. It was the comfort food we were searching for. They had all my basic favs like har gow (shrimp dumplings), shumai (pork and shrimp dumplings), and pork buns (which I didn't regretfully order because I already ordered so much!) The sticky rice and soup dumplings were so good! My husband was excited to order his favorite, the spicy fried shrimp with was mixed with jalapeños off the non-dim sum menu. You must order the scallion pancakes too, because they are cooked perfectly and such a treat! The staff is so nice here and the restaurant is super chill. I wish we lived closer because I know I would eat or order from here weekly if we did. read more

Today was disappointed with the food quality. The bbq buns not the same . Dry meat inside seem frozen and not fresh . He did took it off the bill . The Singapore noodle order to go end up getting flat noodles not vermicelli. Sadly I don't know what happened to the cook . Been here few times and this is just bad . read more

Finally got to try Dim Sum Cafe in Mesa. The place is so cozy, and there are plenty of parking spots. Oh and they have extensive selections of food haha. It could be overwhelming but probably you could easily find whatever you're craving for. My friend and I, we got to try beef chow fun, kung pao chicken, and xiao long bao. First of all, their portion is huge. Yay! And I really liked beef chow fun, noodle was soft, there were so many beef pieces, and the sauce was good. Kung pao chicken was good as well. Xiao long bao wasn't really tasted like I expected, it was ok! But I'll definitely come back here for their other dishes! read more

THE ATMOSPHERE * There was no music in this restaurant, so it felt very empty and awkward with just four customers inside. * From when we entered and while we were eating, the staff kept hovering and or staring at us while we were eating, which made me and my guest feel uncomfortable. * They gave us the check before asking if we were done. I was going to ask for another appetizer but didn't feel welcome to. * It felt like they were rushing us to leave for another large party of customers. It especially felt this way since they were hovering. * They insisted that they only take Zelle, but when we explained that we didn't have that, they tried to guilt us into not using a credit card by saying that "they earned more as a small business through Zelle". It felt a little pushy and sketchy. THE FOOD * They cross contaminated food, and it caused me to have an allergic reaction. My throat started to swell up. * As someone with Chinese family and who has had authentic Chinese food, the fried rice was not very flavorful and the wontons were burnt to a dark brown color. The General Tso's chicken was alright, but I've definitely had better at another Chinese restaurant. read more

The best homemade dishes. Everytime my husband & I order a dish, we are never disappointed.

We ordered pork shumai and was very disappointed. The pork was terrible. I've eaten soup dumplings all over the world, these were definitely frozen. There was only one other table in the place so obviously service was good. Old and hidden NJ in a plaza, it don't waste your time. read more

Located in Mesa and opened its doors Fall of 2017. This was a current Tik Tok find for me. My daughter and I decided to come in for lunch last week. Not to busy when we arrived. It was shortly after the prime lunch time when we came about 1:30 PM. Atmosphere was inviting with Asian inspired light fixtures and modern wood accents. Booths surround the outer walls and inner areas had plenty of tables for dining. Clean interior. We were brought their menu which were HUGE and consists of a wide range of traditional Chinese dishes. One of the most requested dishes is the Dim Sum which is made to order and hence the name of the place. Appetizer appeal seems to be the chicken feet choice which supposedly has a gelatinous texture and packed with a light gingery, chili pepper sweet tangy flavor. We considered trying but passed. After reviewing all that's listed, my daughter and I both chose to go with the lunch special which is from 1 PM-3 PM weekdays. Server was pleasant and brought our soup to start. All lunch specials include either egg drop soup or hot & sour, plus an egg roll and white rice ( you can sub for fried rice at an additional fee). I had the sesame chicken and my daughter had the beef lo mein. I'd have to say, mine wasn't that great. It was way to sweet and almost had a taste of a pancake syrup. My daughter enjoyed hers much more than I did mine. Her meal was $10.95 the other $11.95 ( not including drinks). For a "lunch special" still a little steep IMO. Doubtful we would be back, but it was good to give it a go after seeing it on social media. read more

The dim sum is the worst Ive had. The har gow had maybe 1 shrimp in it. The siu mai tasted like old meatloaf; really terrible. However, we also had sweet and sour chicken and beef chow fun, and they were both very good. I don't know how this place stays in business with the dim sum being inedible. The servers were kind, so I hope this place figures it out. read more

My family lives in Verrado, Buckeye. We're looking for a good Dim Sum place and this one came out from our search. The place is not that big but it's clean.

My husband and I love coming here! We come almost once a week. I am from NY and used to go to China town all the time for Chinese food and this is the best I've had in Arizona by far! I love that the restaurants atmosphere is that of NY. Nothing fancy - but in a good way! The owners and the family are amazing too! We always get the pork dumplings, Combination fried rice and combination lo mein and share. It's always more than enough food, we always take home leftovers. There is always a great amount of meat in each dish, especially with the shrimp! We will for sure be back! read more

WOW! Hadn't been here for a few months (3/4) and what a change. And NOT for the better. First off it's FILTHY. I mean nasty. Just look at that front door! Torn up window tint and trillions of stains & fingerprints. Looks as though it has never been cleaned. Ever. I don't like judging books by their covers having eaten around the world and cleanliness standards are not always U.S. level. Especially Southeast Asian street food. You gotta let the sanitary issue go to enjoy the experience. But this is inexcusable. Floors dirty, booths, worn and dirty, peeling paint, etc. So on to the food. Not good. The soup dumplings were dry, the shumai strange and extra chewy, my wife wouldn't even look at them. Shrimp dumplings, OK. Steamed pork, tasteless, and either all bone or fatty. Steamed roast pork buns had the heaviest consistency, Not in any way fluffy. Just odd. The West Lake soup was wayyyyy overspiced with cilantro and contained large chunks of broken up hamburger meat. I used to love this soup, but this was inedible. And the worse dish was the Singapore Chow Fun. The noodles were so overcooked, very little in the way roast pork (and the few pieces present were all fat), chicken and beef. There were a few shrimp. But the real letdown was the taste or I should say lack of (taste). For a dish that is supposed to be curry heavy it was super bland. Prices all seemed to have gone up by a buck or two. But that s***s everywhere. Service was mediocre at best, while the 3 dudes in there just sat at tables on their cellphones. With so many good dim sum places in the Asian District Mesa, this place is a horror and should really just close. Or BE closed by the health inspector. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! read more

Family owned and operated Cantonese styled restaurant! Absolutely love that my Yelp friends lead me here. Shout out to Paul and Elaine. Everything is cooked to order and they make their own dumplings and bao in house. The service was friendly and attentive. He spoke Cantonese and English very well. There is a proper way to eat bao. This restaurant seems very low key about if you do it right. But some restaurants post guys. Put it on the spoon that is provided. Poke a hole with your chopstick. Drink the soup. Apply whatever sauce you want. And eat. But you don't want to eat it with a fork and lose your soup. The interior is sparse. And I'm not sure they even have alcohol or boba. They do have soft drinks and hot teas. read more

When you walk in, you are greeted promptly and given a menu and a dim sum menu to write on. There are a lot of dishes to choose from, and my family tries to get 1 or 2 new items with our usual picks. The food comes out as it is made, so it doesn't arrive all at the same time. Everything I have tried it super tasty and piping hot. The soup dumplings are the best. My 10 year old can eat a whole order so we get 2. My family comes here about once a month and on special occasions. Good food from a small family restaurant is the best way to go. read more

Discovered this hidden gem & will definitely be back! The food was so fresh, steamy, & yummy! We ordered the soup dumplings, sticky rice, beef chow fun (so good!), bbq pork buns (very soft & fluffy), bbq pork slices (could've skipped this one), taro buns (absolute must have specially if you're from Hawai'i) & sesame balls. The service was pretty good with the exception of one older waitress who was a bit short tempered with us. Otherwise, the restaurant was great! read more
