When you're on vacations with your entire Choi family you know for a fact we are only eating Chinese cuisine. We found Dim Sum King through Yelp so this was it for our breakfast. It stated that it recently opened in Sarasota so we were like cool let's give it a try! According to my cousin who was getting married this weekend and comes with his wife all the time it's good so we had to give it a try then again there were only two choices for dim sum in Sarasota area. With that being said, dim sum is available all the time. Good soups which come in very big bowls that serve 4-6! We love their seafood and Tofu Soup. Dim Sum selections are heavy on shrimp fillings but everything we tried was good. We had chicken feet, steamed spare ribs in black bean sauce, steamed bbq pork buns, crispy fried sesame balls, pan fried turnip cake, Shu Mai, Hong Kong style egg tarts, crispy baked bbq pork buns (wayyyy too sweet for me), deep fried taro cake, steamed rice beef rolls, Portuguese style creme brûlée tart (to die for! soo delicious), sticky rice, and the list goes on, mind we were about 30 of us almost filled up the entire restaurant! Service was well meaning but sometimes slow the kitchen was often slammed with take out especially we went on Friday (food wasn't very fresh) then on Sunday was sooo delicious; go on Sunday's for dim sum! The food itself was delicious so it was worth the occasional wait! Plus if you have to wait for a little it means it's fresh! read more

Dim sum king has amazing and great tasting food! Everything from sushi to bbq pork buns! Would definitely recommend!

Came here for dim sum on a saturday afternoon... Worth the 40 min drive. I am from Hong Kong and I loved the dim sum here.. The dim sum was very authentic. I ordered 7 dishes (pork rib, shui mai, shrimp dumpling, shanghai dumpling, chicken feet, stuffed jalapino) and they were all amazing! Service was quick and friendly! We will be back! read more

This place is great! So many yummy options from savory to sweet, all at very reasonable prices. The roast pork is out-of-this world succulent, and a must! My favorite dish here, however, is the home made rice noodle with the XO sauce. There's just something about this umami flavor I've never tasted.... a real treat. Don't expect fancy or white linen service. What you will get is amazing, authentic cuisine served with smiles. Enjoy! read more

The dim sum was good, though a bit more spice would have been better. The portions were good size and pork was tasty.

If you want a place that says "no" Dim Sum King is your place! Talk about rude, I asked for them to simply add some broccoli to my order (very willing to pay extra) and was told no with strict disdain! Which is not half as bad as having to repeat myself 2 or 3 times while trying to place the rest of my order. Moon Wok will be missed! I simply walked out, apparently adding broccoli (for an added cost) was not worth the $100 worth of food I was ordering for a very large family eager to find a new Dim Sum restaurant in an area void of them! read more

Homemade authentic Cantonese dim sum is now available in Sarasota !!!!! That's exciting news! More exciting is how delicious each dim sum plate is! Xia lung bao! Steamed shrimp dUmplings! Egg custard tarts! read more

As far as (good) Chinese food goes, the Sarasota/Bradenton area is severely lacking so I was excited to see that a new dim sum restaurant had opened where Moon Wok used to be! I went by myself during lunch time and was seated right away, though it did get busier shortly after and people had to wait for seating. I ordered steamed bbq pork buns, steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, and Hong Kong style sticky rice. The food came out promptly and everything tasted good! I especially liked the sticky rice. Keep in mind they do close after lunch and then open for dinner service if you plan on stopping by! read more

Best authentic dim sum in the area and very reasonably priced! I have been eating here every time I come into town for several years and even during the worst part of the pandemic food quality did not go down and service is always consistently good. I 100% recommend a try! read more

Food, service, and ambiance were all great. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out quickly even though they were very busy.

We have dined here multiple times in the past 3 months, since moving from Oregon to the Lakewood Ranch area. We have taken family members and guests to DimSum King. The food is outstanding and every one of our guests has raved about it. The service is excellent and the staff (Andy, Shirley & Christine) are super friendly and helpful. It doesn't get any better than DimSum King! read more

dont go here terrible service terrible food. portions are for smurfs this is my first review for a restaurant never again they didnt even want to help just said sorry. got a plate full of onions no meat. read more

Absolutely the best Hot and Sour soup in Sarasota area. Had Walnut Honey Shrimp which was also outstanding.

So, drove from Deep Creek Fort Myers to have some dimsum which Inhave been wanting for months!!! I get there and J see no ladies walking around with steamed carts. I am so used to the traditional way Dinsum is Served in the US that I could not enjoy this meal I guess the search continues.... read more

Love the authentic Cantonese dim sum. I was born in Guangdong, and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. I grow up eating DimSum. And I'm very picky with that. After I moved to FL few years ago, I was having a hard time finding a good DimSum place. FINALLY, I was introduced to DimSum king by a fiend of mine. I found my favorite place. read more

The total bomb & the real deal. If you're looking for excellent, authentic Chinese food (not just General Tso), order with confidence. Snow pea tips with garlic, soup dumplings, yummy yummy!! read more

Every time I come to this place, I feel super stressed interacting with the waitresses. They are not customer centered. The food is subpar and not that fresh. Dim sum here is mediocre compared to Boston read more

This place is a hidden gam. It gets very busy but for good reason. We over ordered like usual; and every single dish was amazing. I highly suggest the fresh dumplings. You won't be sorry. read more

My sister & I were looking for a place open on Christmas Eve. We had driven around for about a half hour when her husband called & said he found a new Chinese restaurant and they were open! We decided to meet him there & place a to go order.We ordered pork buns, crab rangoon, dumplings, sesame chicken, general tso's chicken, pork fried rice & beef with vegetables. They were really busy being one of the only places open but the service was impeccable! The food came out in about 20 minutes & then we rushed home to try it all. Everything was REALLY good! We have not had a good Chinese restaurant in the area for a very long time! We all agrees that we will be back. I can't wait to try more of their food!!!! read more

Dim Sum King - Dim Sum Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

We had a party of 8 for a lunch today. The dishes were ok, but the service's so bad. The waiter was rude and inpatient when he took orders from us. Some of us ordered a couple of dishes as takeout, and they also were charged 18% tip automatically which doesn't make any sense. A customer got charged 18% service fee automatically for one takeout dish, WHY ????? And then, as soon as we paid our bill, we got kicked out because they got some new customers came in at that time. Won't go to this place again!!! read more

One of my favorite soup dumpling places in Sarasota 10/10 would always recommend! we also love the pork buns! Staff is so nice. easy to order read more

So sad they are closed and no curb service They are outstanding and I really miss them during the crisis. By the way yelp had a go fund me site to help the staff. Good idea. Hope customers support them read more

Excellent Chinese in the area and actually pretty good compared to some of my CA and DC favorite Chinese restaurants.Dined here several times and have enjoyed soup, noodles, rice, beef and bok choy, and several dim sum items. Reasonably priced. read more

Very good! Everything i've had there was great. Love that they have foods that are not on normal American asian restaurant menus. Lo Mein was delicious. Def coming here again! read more

Food was good as usual. Except we are not a fan of the shrimp toast, it's fried and we're not lovers of fried food. We love the steamed shrimp dumplings, my husband likes the spring rolls,we love the Hong Kong Wanton Soup, love Hot & Sour soup, tried it for the first time! Loved the Yang Chow Fried Rice, everything Lo Mien. My sister in law ordered a shrimp & scallop dish - she thought it was ok but my husband didn't like it. Worst thing is they don't "give" you white rice with your entree. The prices on all dishes have gone up so please give a pint of rice to accompany the entree. Rice is still relatively cheap! We'd really appreciate it. It's only $1 but it the principle! Go here, especially for Dim Sum. You won't be disappointed! read more

First time at Dimsum tonight & definitely will be back! It was so delicious, everything tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. I would recommend the Shanghai style dumplings, crab Rangoon and the wonton soup. The wonton soup is big enough for 2 but so fricken good !! This restaurant is my new go to. read more

Straight up solid no frills dim sum. Clean, efficient, excellent choices including Peking Duck. Had the Shanghai dumplings, steamed noodles with vegetables and the taro puffs, all good. read more

I was craving good quality Asian cuisine and this place did NOT disappoint. For starters we ordered the steam pork and shrimp dumplings (OMG!) they were delicious, and the ginger dipping sauce was stellar. Additionally, we ordered the crab ragoons which were ok. They were packed with warm cream cheese but lacked crab. I don't think either of us found any inside of our nicely wrapped dough. I will not be as inclined to order it again. The crab ragoon was paired nicely with a traditional sweet chili dipping sauce usually found when ordering this appetizer. For lunch I ordered the General Tso chicken. The sauce was superb, it reminded me of a orange marmalade with just the right amount of sweet and sour making the dish almost tangy. Outstanding. I was so impressed with the soy ginger sauce from the dumplings I asked for more and drizzled it on top of the dish sending it overboard. My significant other had the house fried rice and enjoyed his dish as well. Our entire meal cost us each only $13 and change. The value is unbeatable for the quality of the food you receive not to mention the lunch specials comes with a fountain drink. You can tell when a restaurant takes pride in their cooking and food. This one does, and I will be back to try out more menu items. Friendly staff, hot food and overall wonderful experience. read more

Pretty decent dimsum for Florida. Only weirdness is shiu mai and potstickers are made with chicken instead of pork. Otherwise the buns, shrimp dumplings, hargo were all very good. Would be nice if the used metal forks instead of plastic ones. read more

Love the food. The general two's chicken and beef with baby bok choy. They need to get back to regular plates and fork and knife/chop sticks. They current have Styrofoam plates and plastic knifes and forks. Add that and rating would be 5 star. read more

Food was ok, not bad but not good either. We got dim sum and it was just ok. The shrimp roll and ha gao wasn't as soft and melt in your as I'm used to. The pork spare rib was chewy but flavorful. Would not recommend the clams either. read more

Quick service and great staff. Enjoyed the dinner and ordered dim sum which is good flavor and reasonably priced. Close to my office and convenient. Definitely recommend! read more

The food was very good. Service was standard with food questions answered only if asked. The restaurant is not for larger crowds. I would go with 3 stars, but the variety of food and taste bumps it to 4. read more

After new owner ship change! The head chef left ! The dimsum really suck! Not like before

Delicious food. I've only ordered pickup but it's always fresh and ready on time. Staff is friendly and the inside always looks very clean when I go in to get. read more

The crab ragoons are the best in the area! The prices are a bit high but worth it because of the quality which is way better than your average Chinese restaurant. The service was extremely fast! read more

Excellet Dim Sum, fresh and tasty. Good selection of the main staples, and they even have the peppers with shrimp, one of my favorites which is sometimes hard to get back in NY. Definitely go and try it. read more
