Came here because my friend praised this place constantly and insisted that we should go give it a try. I gave in and went today. My friend praised their 小笼包, my opinion - it's not good. The skin was thick, the meat was firm, it wasn't soupy inside. 5 little dumplings in each bamboo basket. Others we ordered, fried soy skin rolls, the rolls were tiny, the filling was decent, these rolls were over fried. Sharks fin dumplings, dry, meat inside too firm. 烧麦 dry. Chicken wanton skin too thick, soggy and soft on the outside. Fried string beans with beef, string beans stir fry, fried rice sticks noodles with chicken, sweet sour fish slices. Overall the non dim sum items were better than the dim sum. The flavor in general catered to the local palate - too sweet. Honestly the name needs to change as the dim sum weren't good and therefore, not heavenly. Suggest go elsewhere for dim sum. If you're in a hurry and need a quick fix for lunch then go here. read more

No sure how I feel about this place, only been there once! So many options. Almost too too many Maybe it's what was chosen The staff was very friendly read more

This place is an absolute delight. It's often overlooked due to its location in proximity to other larger dim sum options. However, this is our first choice every time! It's very small business driven and the service is reflective of that. Warm and welcoming and very quick. There's no waiting for carts just order what you want and it comes out fresh and piping hot! This is our go-to fit every dim sum craving! read more

So I was driving down Buford Hwy looking for someplace different to grab lunch and saw this place was open. It was just after 11am. Stopped in and was greeted immediately. Clean, nice restaurant with white table cloths on the tables. There was plenty of seating inside and saw several families with kids dining in. They have a large menu and include pictures of the meals which I thought was very helpful. I ended up ordering the chicken in garlic sauce off their lunch special menu with fried rice and a pork egg roll to go. They ended up giving me two egg rolls, I guess because of the size. The chicken with garlic sauce had a very nice flavor to it and plenty of vegetables. It was supposed to be spicy but didn't really have much a kick but that's ok. The flavor made up for it. The egg rolls were ok. I probably wouldn't order them again. The food was great and the service EXCEPTIONAL! read more

I took an order of Baked BBQ Pork Buns to-go and it was not good. My expectations are quite high right now, having recently eaten pork buns from the legendary Mei Lai Wah in NY, but I think even without that experience, I still would find these pork buns bad. For starters, they need to update their pricing. On the window it appeared that the pork buns were $3.50 for an order, but when I went and placed an order, I was expected to pay around $6.50. I didn't fight it, but that already left a bit of an unpleasant feeling. They did make the buns fresh, but they were so small compared to what I was expecting. When I saw them, I thought, $6.50 for this?? This better taste good. Unfortunately not. In my opinion, there seemed to be a slightly rancid taste, and the bbq pork lacked flavor. The bun itself was also a bit underwhelming. After I ate one, I was pretty disappointed to have just dropped a little over $3 for this small bun that didn't even taste good to me. read more

Stopped by here again while in Atlanta, and once again it was incredible. The shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, crab Rangoons, and radish cakes were all packed with flavor and came out fresh and hot. The tea is the perfect drink to pair with everything, and our service was great. Will be back again! read more

I haven't found my go to dimsum place yet and I was hoping this could be the one. I like that it's made to order instead of having carts running around (this is considered the more modern style). I should've known something was up when we went for lunch on a Sunday and it was at 25% capacity. Most dimsum places are packed and bustling from open to 2pm. Service was subpar, meaning normal in Asian standards (actually a little above average because they don't yell at you like in HK). We got: Har gao: This was probably one of the better items we got, but it was forgettable except for the size--small. Siu mai: Also small and very lacking; I make these at home so maybe I have high standards but this is a staple that dimsum places must nail to pass my "quality test". The meat is just forgettable--just firm ground meat with salt. Sticky rice siu mai: Tasted like rice with soysauce stuffed into the siu mai and steamed; once again, nothing special and nothing that makes it pop. Chicken dumplings: Great for the kiddo we had with us but it looked like it came out of a bag. Meat was just a clump inside with loose dough around it. Xiao long bao: I asked one of the servers in Canto and Mando and it wasn't clicking so I guess you have to call it "Soup dumpling". This had a tiny bit of "soup" inside and was slightly sweet. They didn't give you any vinegar/ginger with it and it was really dinky--the kiddo liked it though so that's a plus. Tripe with soy sauce/daikon: I'm a sucker for this stuff; this was just ok--could've had a bit more time cooking but it was fine. Char siu bao: This order came with only 2 baos, which I'm now grateful for because we actually each took a bite and left the other one alone. The char siu to bao ratio was like 10 to 90 and the char siu bits were way too sweet. Ma lai gao: I actually forgot what this was in English--sponge cake? This and sugar cake are my two favorite dim sum desserts, but this one was more like a vanilla cake with barely any sugar. I know ma lai gao is usually less sweet, but they take it next level. My non-Asian friends tasted 0 sugar lol. Texture was also a bit more closed--good ma lai gao is extra fluffy. Lastly, the red food coloring from the wrapper got onto the cake, which wasn't super appealing. I don't know if I came on a bad day but I think the best thing that we ate here was the chili crisp. We put that stuff on everything. Everything came in super tiny portions and it was really unsatisfying. Food also took a while to cook (I get that they cook it to order but I mean...I grew up on this "modern style" dimsum and it's not supposed to be like that ok). I guess I'll have to hit up Duluth and explore my options there. read more

The food is good, no complaints, but what won me over was that our server was so sweet. That alone makes me want to return. Sad to see that a lot of the bad reviews are about the service because thankfully, I didn't have that experience. When you walk in, the staff are welcome and on this visit, we sat down very quickly. I love that when you walk in, there's a ton of pictures of the dim sum on the wall for all to see. You can't go wrong with any of the shu mai's and the soup dumplings. I always order some type of veg like watercress or snow pea tips and beef chow fun. All of these were delicious. I would love to come back and try more. read more

Wanted to eat Dim Sum on our long weekend in town and this restaurant caught our eye. Our mid-afternoon visit came during a slow time but it was perfect for us as we had the undivided attention of the servers and cooks. Dim sum when it the restaurant is slow means all orders are basically heated and cooked to order. The hot items were extremely hot and tasted fresh, although I don't think they actually made them when we ordered. The wall on one side is covered with photos of menu items along with the name of each dish written underneath so one could look and point to what looks good and they will make it for you. The service was professional and they were attentive but not overly attentive. A very good experience! The only item that could be improved were the custard dessert dim sum, they were obviously not made in the restaurant, did not taste the freshest, and were on the small side. read more

I visited Dim Sum Heaven over three years ago and I remember having an excellent experience and today it did not disappoint. We do not have any Dim Sum restaurants where I live, so during our visit to Atlanta this was a must-do. Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered waaaay too much but everything looked so delicious it was hard to restrain myself. Steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow) are one of my favorite foods and theirs did not disappoint. You cannot go wrong with har gow if you're new to dim sum. The dry shrimp noodles were delicious, a little gummy, but definitely still an excellent dish. The seafood shumai was a little dry, so I don't fully recommend it, but definitely not bad. Fish balls are a very nostalgic food for me so I have a high bar, but these were great. For newcomers I can see this being too fishy or gummy, but if you're a fan of fish balls it was delicious. The shrimp with bell peppers was phenomenal. Flavorful, fresh, and the perfect balance of textures. The radish cakes were the perfect consistency, but wish there was more flavor. I prefer a very green onion taste if possible. We were also served tea which is always my favorite drink to accompany dim sum. Overall you MUST try Dim Sum Heaven. read more

Be sure to try as much as you can if you go with a group. read more

First, no one had menu of dim sum. So here it is. We came specifically for this. We ordered a bunch of stuff, taro bun, baked BBQ pork buns, shrimp, pork shu mai, shrimp pork and preserved egg congee, won ton soup, fried shrimp balls, chicken feet and shark fin dumplings. Everything was really good. They have lazy susan on the table and complimentary hot tea was provided. The chicken feet were small bits but it was seasoned well, I didn't care for taro buns it was just all soft textures but it was nice purple. The shark fin was like pork, I couldn't tell the difference between both to be honest. -1 star only because I asked if they had hot mustard. (Might be called something else) I was provided mustard in a small pack and after tasting it, it's regular ass yellow mustard. Like French mustard, omg. I was thankful I did not dip my dim sum in this before eating. Service was prompt tho, small restaurant, plentiful parking. read more

This place is in the same parking lot as one of our favorite Chinese restaurants, and we've been wanting to give them a try. We were in the mood for dim sum, so we decided to stop by. Unfortunately, we were a bit let down. The menu doesn't have the best layout. A lot of the dim sum descriptions are on the wall in the first section of the restaurant. Since we were seated on the other side, we couldn't see everything that was offered, so we only ordered a couple items and decided to get some entrees instead. Most of what we ordered was just ok. We had to add salt and chili sauce to give them more flavor. With that being said, the roasted duck was actually amazing. The skin was crispy just how we like it. If you go here and like duck I would definitely recommend trying it. read more

I was debating between giving this place a 3 or 4 because my experience kind of felt like in between. The food was pretty good! One of the better dim sum places I've ever had. I particularly liked the radish cake because it was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. It felt like the restaurant used pretty good quality ingredients for their dishes. However, the service here was pretty horrible. I only went with one other friend but we ended up staying there for over two hours because it took the staff so long to take our orders, bring us water, bring us our check, etc. We kept hunting down a waiter so that we could ask for our order. This experience may have been a fluke though and I'd definitely be willing to try this place again. read more

Decided to try a new dim sum spot today and it was surprisingly good! We went right when it opened so there was no wait time. Service was fantastic, food came out relatively quickly, and the price was not bad either! Food was good but not amazing. Its not a huge location compared to some of the more popular dim sum spots but the homey feel it gives off is great. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

We stopped by here around 9pm, so it was late for dim sum but we were really craving it. Everyone's dishes around us looked delicious so I don't think you could go wrong. The tea was very good, we mix green tea with chrysanthemum. They quickly greeted us and gave us menus. We loved how it showed pictures of the dim sum items since we couldn't remember the names of some. Our food came out fast and was delicious. We loved the shu mai and tofu roll up(can't remember the exact name haha). I don't recommend the white long shrimp noodles dim sum dish. They put 3 tiny shrimp in them instead of medium/large shrimp and the soy sauce wasn't sweet at all. It was very different from other dim sum places we have gone to in the past. Overall, it was authentic and delicious and we are glad we made the stop while driving through Atlanta. read more

This is my go to dim sum restaurant, the service is always great. They have a huge menu with lots of different options and the food is always delicious.

We came here for lunch on Saturday. There are two dining areas: the one where everyone enters through was packed, and there was an available table for two that was the only one without any customers sitting at it, and the lower dining area where there weren't that many customers, and it had four open tables. The server pointed to the table for 2, I looked at it, looked at how crowded people were so close to the open table, looked at the server and asked her, "Can we sit down there?" and indicated the open tables in the other dining area. She told me, "No, those are for four people." I shook my head and said, "No thanks!" We left and went to a nearby restaurant on Buford Highway that allowed more spacing between customers. read more

Saw this place when dining at another esthablishment on the same block a while ago, and decided to come back to try it. Soup dumplings: They are well priced but not that great, they got stuck together. Shark fin dumplings: Looked more like siew mai. I wanted to try something different, Cheong fun: it's not that smooth. Pork rib: probably the best thing we ordered Chicken feet: lacked flavor. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but I won't be returning soon. read more

we were disappointed with the decline of quality since we were there before. The portions were much smaller. Too bad.

We had a good experience here for dim sum! They don't do the carts, it's a la carte so you order the dishes and they come out hot which was a great appeal to this place. The service was wonderful and the food came out fast and hot. Overall, we enjoyed the dumplings and dimsum we tried. I noticed the fried ones like the fried taro were less seasoned than what I'm used to but paired with the sauces and chili oil they offered. The sticky rice was also on the plain side compared to other places and a smaller portion. I enjoyed the BBQ pork buns here a lot. The bread was a little sweet which was really tasty as most of the time, the breading is plain at other places. The dumplings tasted great and our water/tea remained full through the meal which is rare for dimsum places. Would go back! Spent about 25 per person on a wide variety. read more

Visited this place expected to be elevated to heaven as an avid dim sum fan, but I am sad to say that it was slightly disappointing. The dim sum items were very small compared to other dim sum restaurants in Atlanta, which made the price not the most ideal. The taste was not particularly special either. Service was okay, nothing upsetting in particular. There were other guests when we dined in, and the atmosphere was fine. Would recommend other places for dim sum, but feel free to pay a visit if you are looking for other types of Chinese dishes. read more

Dim Sum Heaven - Soup dumplings, sesame balls, chicken feet, shrimp dumplings & jasmine tea - Chinese Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Let's start this off by saying this is a very homing restaurant. They invite you in with open arms. It was my very first time going, but the young lady I was with has been there a couple times. It seemed like they were family members with the opening arms welcoming. When it comes to food I got the fried sticky rice, spring rolls, soup dumplings and fried pork dumplings. My favorite item was the pork dumplings they were very flavorful. Salty pork with cloves and the drippings sauce gave it the much needed sweetness it needed. My least favorite item was the fried sticky rice. It was very oily and didn't have much flavor. Could have been more better. Overall I would try it again with hoping it would be prepared better with much more taste. The soup dumplings were pretty good with taste but didn't have a lot of soup in them and they were very small. If you plan on going here I will say depending on how many people you go with be prepared to order a good amount of food if you want to try different items because the sharing portions are very small. This is a good restaurant. I do recommend you to try it if you have never had dim sum before because they restaurant is a great steppingstone read more

The Basics: Dim Sum Heaven is a restaurant located in a shopping plaza on Buford Highway in Atlanta. There isn't much to the aesthetic of the restaurant, but there are plenty of tables inside and we have never had to wait. The menu is vast and there are pictures of menu items pasted on the walls that can be looked at the determine what you would like to order. There are no dim sum carts at this restaurant. Things I like: I love dim sum and I enjoy that there is a variety to choose from here. Everything I have ordered here has been fine, but some of the items don't taste very fresh. I assume the items are not made to order here. However, some of my favorites here are the soup dumplings, sesame balls, and the puffy dumplings with pork. I also enjoy that there is never a wait here and it is an easy and quick meal. Things I didn't like: Some of the dim sum items here do not taste as fresh as dim sum at other Atlanta locations like Canton House and Oriental Pearl. For example, I did not enjoy the chicken dumplings and I have had better pork buns at other Atlanta locations. Overall, this is a good spot for quick dim sum, but I would suggest other dim sum locations in the area for more variety and quality dim sum. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place since my dim sum place of choice is usually either Canton House (I know super blasé) or Oriental Pearl. However, my family and I dined here on Christmas Eve as Asian businesses are often open on holidays. It was a big group of us so we sat in one of the bigger round tables. I never knew the size of the restaurant until we walked in since it looked tiny from the outside. Service was decent considering the climate. However, we did have to ask for water and silverware since some people in our party didn't know how to use chopsticks. I found the food surprisingly delicious imo. We ordered a bunch of dishes but some of the standouts were congee with century egg, fried calamari, siomai and roasted duck. I will definitely come back and perhaps try more of their dim sum. read more

This restaurant has very good Cantonese food besides dim sum. We came at 11:00am for dim sum, just as they opened, and there was already a small group waiting at the door on a Saturday morning. By 11:30 am, the place was almost full. The dim sum was standard fare but I really appreciated that the dishes came out of the kitchen still hot. Bigger restaurants that serve dim sum on carts cannot keep their dishes hot. Although the variety of dim sum is not as extensive as a big restaurant, the quality is very good. Dim sum seems to be offered all day here, whereas, big restaurants stop service around 3pm. Good for people who just crave dim sum but can't wait for the weekend to come. read more

I went to this place to eat and ended up getting sick. I woke up with puffy eyes, and stomach aches. Place does not look too clean.

Came in on a Friday craving dim sum. Small spot nothing too big pictures on the wall of food items. We were given hot team upon arrival. Condiments on the table needed a good wiping our vinegar had gnats in it. Ordered the chicken feet/soup dumping/ chicken shaomai and shrimp noodles and beef ball the total was like $70. Which was shocking. Soup dumplings had no soup kinda dry chicken feet was good and our shrimp noodle was cold. It was ok we wouldn't be back. read more

Naturally, we went back to try all new things... Dumpling - I ordered this because it intrigued me; it was simply described as "dumpling" with no other information. Well, it's a steamed (or possibly boiled) pork jiao zi style dumpling with some vegetables, such as wood ear mushroom and scallion. It's also one of the beat things on the menu, and possibly the best steamed shui jiao or zheng jiao I've had. Puffy dumpling with pork - it's a ham sui gok (glutinous rice fried dumpling). This was so, so yummy. The texture of the rice was perfect and the pork was flavored beautifully. Steamed sponge cake - this ma lai koe was fantastic, too! It was really fragrant without being perfumey, and seemed to have a hint of banana flavor. Egg noodle soup mixed vegetable - this was another "create your own" dish where you could pick either rice or egg noodles and add various proteins or vegetables. The vegetables were fresh and delicious and the egg noodles and broth were tasty as well, with great noodle texture. Chicken feet - I've never had chicken feet before so I've nothing to compare it to, but the taste was good. Shark fin dumpling - this wasn't folded as "shark-fin-y" as the picture menu displayed, and was really more of a closed top shumai. In any case, it was still pretty decent. Roasted pork bun - this was good, the filling amount and bread texture was great, but it seemed to only have the sweet element of char siu and not the savory. In other words, it needed a little salt. Tapioca crystal ball - this one was filled with either pumpkin or sweet potato, but it seemed they neither added sugar nor salt; this was pretty flavorless even though it looked pretty. Pumpkin cake - this also didn't have a lot of flavor to it other than a lot of grease, unfortunately. Pork bean curd roll - the taste was a little...gamey? And a bit salty as well. Bean curd rolls are supposed to have sort of a slippery texture but this one seemed to be rather like a soggy newspaper. Overall, this feast was four stars, as a couple of items weren't great but the best ones were so phenomenal I couldn't rate it lower read more

There's nothing wrong with Dim Sum Heaven, I just think BoBo Garden a few doors down is slightly better and LanZhou Ramen a few doors the opposite side is my favorite in this shopping center. Most places that have too large of a extensive menu is kind of off putting for me. Analysis paralysis is a real thing. When the menu is too large, I have trouble deciding what I want to eat. At LanZhou Ramen I know I'm going to get noodles. At Bobo Garden or this place, I'll usually have one person order everything and I'll just trust that person's judgement when we do the family style. None of the food is particularly bad but none of it really stood out for me either. I guess this place has some unique Fujianese dishes. I liked the noodles with peanut sauce. Would I come here again? Only if a friend really wants to go and I don't feel like protesting. This place is good for a group setting. read more
