I had the pleasure of doing lunch with Dan, the keyboards for Blues Legend Buddy Guy, and I was overjoyed to learn he loved DimSum. I jumped at the chance to try the Chinatown location. We had a bunch of varied stuff from the DimSum Menu, and it was all top top notch. Cant remember exactly what we had, it's a picture menu, and as the waiter didnt seem to speak much English, it was point and shoot. All of it was distinctively yum. Like just about every place you can go in Chinatown, the premises appear slightly run-down, in that "we've been here for a hundred years, and you're coming here to eat, not ogle the architecture" way. Turned out not to be cheap-bill for 2 = $80 + change without any booze. But the quality of the food was over the top. Don't mind paying the freight, when the feed is worth it.

Stepping past the majestic ancient Chinese warrior statues at the entrance, one is instantly transported. The interior design is nothing short of breathtaking artfully adorned with authentic Chinese furnishings, lotus-shaped lighting, a striking Bruce Lee figure, and an exclusive private bar area. The entire establishment is impeccably pristine and spotlessly clean throughout. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish. Upon signaling a staff member, we were attended to within moments a level of prompt, polished, and efficient service that I deeply appreciate. I was particularly enamored with their exquisite chinaware; the traditional teapots and matching tea cups bring such a refined, thoughtful touch to the table. For my main course, I selected the Shanghai-style soup dumplings. When served alongside our freshly steeped tea, they proved to be an absolute culinary triumph delicate, bursting with rich, aromatic broth, and executed with remarkable precision. Between the immaculate environment, enchanting ambiance, sublime cuisine, and flawless service, this establishment earns full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous experience I shall most certainly be returning

Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table, or share a big one with another party at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are pretty generous. ===== Kind of lost count of how many times I've been. Love getting the dim sum and noodle dishes here. Some favorites: beef cheong fun with egg, siu mai, Singapore noodle, xo rice noodle rolls, spare ribs, pork and century egg congee. All the food has been very solid. Inside is always bustling and can be a bit crowded. Service is pretty friendly as far as Chinatown goes, and very efficient. There's a guy who works there who I think is the manager or something, because he puts in 200x effort and is always hustling. When he's not around it feels like something is missing. Prices are very reasonable and we like ordering a lot here so that we have tasty leftovers for later. This place has quite a few big tables and is good for large groups. My only nits are that very occasionally a dish or teacup will have a dirty spot, and that the bubble tea here is kind of meh. I don't remember exactly which one I ordered, but it was a little watery and lacking in flavor. It's also probably tough since they're boxed in by boba places now. Pro tip: When you first get your table, they'll ask you what kind of tea you want. If you ignore them or don't know how to answer, the default is green tea. Another one is to come at off-peak times. Not only will you get a table faster, but I think they tweak their portion sizes depending on how crowded it is. Definitely will be back! And I recommend you visit too

Stuffed eggplant was greasy as expected, but cooked perfectly and packed with shrimp paste. 7/10. Pan fried shrimp & chive dumplings were nicely seared with a thin wrapper and plenty of filling 8/10. The Shanghai soup dumplings were disappointing. Half had holes in the bottom, and while the meat was mushy and moist, there wasn't much soup 4/10. Chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, and piggy custard buns were pretty standard. 5/10. BBQ pork turnover was alright. I liked the thick, flaky pastry, but the filling was unevenly distributed, with one packed with BBQ pork while others were missing some. Pretty standard filling 6/10. Vibes and service were pretty standard. You mark everything you want on the menu and hand it over, rather than choosing dishes as they come around on a dim sum cart. I feel like that takes away a bit from the dim sum experience.

Everything tasted solid, though admittedly, I was a bit too focused on the conversation with my table to really pay close attention to the food Only thing I wasn't a fan of was I felt like they essentially pushed tea on our table and charged us for it. A few other people at my table ended up desiring tea anyway, so they drank some, and as a result we were charged for it, which I'm fine with that because we consumed the product, but they charged per cup - so they assumed that the entire party drank tea, but in reality only part of the table drank tea. And even then, before I knew anyone at my table wanted tea, I told the waiters that we're good with just water, so they took away the tea cups. But then sometime later someone placed a tea pot on our table anyway... I had a feeling they were going to pull this move because I've seen it happen at other places, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it in front of the rest of my party. I just thought to vocalize it because I don't think it's great practice. They offer a QR code to scan for discounted parking that applies to the parking lots.

By the time we finished our meal, the dining room was completely full and there was even a line forming outside, which is always a great sign. Unlike some traditional dim sum restaurants, they don't use carts here. Instead, you order from a paper menu, which I actually prefer because it's easier to browse all the options and make sure you don't miss anything. Everything we ordered was freshly made, looked beautiful, and tasted delicious. We even had to stop and take photos before digging in! The staff was attentive throughout our meal, and the food came out quickly despite how busy the restaurant became. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back the next time we're in Chinatown.

Considering everything, you just have a good dim sum experience from ordering to eating to paying for the check. Dishes come out speedily, so enjoy the very fast service. No unnecessary conversations. Just to the point like an arrow.
