I've been a regular at Dim Sum King, and I'm always impressed by how consistent the food quality is, whether dining in or ordering to go. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a traditional Chinese touch that even changes with the seasons. The manager is incredibly nice! I had a large to-go order, and he had someone help carry everything out to my car! I really appreciate that level of service, it really stands out. Their dim sum is definitely the BEST in town. I highly recommend the siu mai and the dry beef rice noodle. The siu mai are huge and super juicy, and the beef rice noodle has that perfect smoky, charred aroma from high-heat stir-frying! They are truly the King of Dim Sum! read more

Dim Sum King - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Dim Sum Palace is the only place I know where can get an experience similar to the experience you get in Hong Kong. The carts carrying small dishes of delicious tasting morsels, sort of a tapas experience with Chinese food rather than Spanish. The food is solid if not spectacular. The ambiance reminds me so much of my experiences in Hong Kong. Not to mention the good housekeeping seal of approval when you see how many Chinese and Asians are there dining! If the people who know what 'real Chinese cooking' is all about are eating there, you know you are getting as close to the real thing as possible. Friendly staff will help you on ordering if you ask, but as a rule they will assume you know what you want when you sit down. If you are unfamiliar just ask. I've never had any issues getting answers. So, if you are looking for 'real' Chinese food, served in a unique way, please check out Dim Sum King...but be careful. The plates are small and the food is delicious but don't get too carried away trying everything because it is surprisingly filling. Which is nice because you'll want to come back again. read more

Best dim sum in Memphis, the Mid-South, and likely all of Tennessee. My aunt says that the dim sim is on par with dim sum in Hong Kong! The service is via people pushing out carts, true to dim sum. And the ambiance is noisy, chattery, and energetic, true to dim sum. Plenty of dim sum and non dim sum options to choose from with good quality and quantity. There is also a private dining room with a karaoke setup available for booking. read more

Dim Sum King - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I happened to be in the area for lunch. I've been wanting to go here for several years but hadn't had the chance yet, and it did not disappoint. I had two large dim sum items and one medium. The highlight was the shrimp and chive dumplings, but the salted egg buns and stuffed tofu were also great. I've had lots of dim sum across the US, and this is up there with any place I've been in NYC or SF. Also great portions and prices, a clean and nice looking interior, and quick friendly service. Give it a try! read more

Update 12/28/2025 Went there with family in town on a Sunday afternoon. Place was quite busy as expected on a Sunday afternoon and especially on a holiday weekend. There was about 16 of us so we were seated in the "karaoke" room which has a gigantic lazy Susan that self rotates. Food overall was good as typical. Although the "wu kwok" (taro root fried ball" did not taste freshly made but more like from the freezer. The waitress was very good. The wait for the table was over 30 minutes as they had to get the room ready although it was not previously used that day. read more

Didn't have the best experience here. As they come around with the carts, the staff kept pushing our party to try items. By the time we checked out, several items we left on my ticket despite me not eating them. They were slightly resistant to remove and correct this. Food 3/5. I absolutely loved the refresher. One of the best I've had in the city Service 3/5 read more

This dim sum spot was an interesting experience, but not one I'd rush back to. Be prepared -- they charge for everything, which wasn't clearly explained upfront and made the meal more confusing than enjoyable.The service setup was also hard to follow. Multiple servers came around offering appetizers, but getting an actual dedicated server to check on us or explain the menu took a long time. That lack of communication made ordering feel frustrating, especially for first-time diners.The food itself was pretty baseline nothing standout, but I will say it was hot and fresh, which is always a plus. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but between the confusing service flow, slow attention, and pricing structure, the experience didn't quite hit the mark. Some clearer explanations and more attentive service would go a long way. read more

Lord have mercy. I have been to this place dozens of times, and it stands alone in Memphis for audaciously China-endemic fare , folks and fun. Try Sundays 1:00 pm and the large restaurant is working alive with activity and food transactions as carts are wheeled around like a 5,000 square foot first class aircraft. Inside those carts reside an amazingly diverse array of items available for your purchase rendering your table's order sheet replete with stamps for the multitude of offerings you've sampled. When you throw in the proverbial towel and are ready to declare armistice there's no doubt there will be return. read more

Dim Sum King - Amazing rice noodle roll dish with a dash of chili crunch oil and maybe a little soy sauce. - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Went to dinner Sunday, August 17th and our meal was super tasty. I enjoy supporting this restaurant as the food is consistent and delish! The service has always been cordial and efficient. The restaurant has been remodeled some since they placed fancy partitions to make some booths. The restaurant is decorated with Asian flair. We had stir fry cauliflower dish that was simple and flavorful. The beef flat noodles were very good with tender beef and perfect noodles. The Peking style pork was velvety and not too sweet. The walnut shrimp needed a few more walnuts but the shrimp and sauce were quite fabulous. We also ordered a tofu dish that was new to us. It had fried tofu, bok choy and other veggies. The gravy was light and completed the dish. Our first noodle dish was like a simple egg noodle or maybe it was some type of rice noodle. It was okay. We ordered some cheung fun, har gow, and siu mai. All great dim sum dishes. I am sure we will return as the food is awesome. read more

Great menu, fresh ingredients and true Chinese food (don't worry, they have your Americanized Chinese faves too). We started off with Sizzling Chicken and added some of my Dim Sum faves (Soup dumplings, BBQ Pork buns, Siu Mai). Added a Chinese broccoli and then a little dessert (sesame ball). The place gets a bit crowded after 6, but overall quick and helpful service. If you've never tried dim sum, this is a good spot to start. read more

Open on Xmas day. At 10 am which is An hour earlier than normal. And it was packed inside. Dim sum was pretty good. Cars outside said captain king. And I think for the area he's probably right. They are king. Even say a whole roasted pig there. They got boba too read more

My family and I used to love coming here. They roll the dim sum out on carts and you can get dishes that catch your eye. However the service here is pretty terrible. They were rude to my mom and she refuses to go back. It also takes forever to get specific items that are not on the cart read more

Irregular at times, but nonetheless outstanding. If you grew up somewhere with restaurants that serve authentic dim sum, you will appreciate that businesses like this exist in our humble Memphis. read more

We stopped by for some classic Chinese comfort food and really enjoyed the meal. Ambiance was typical dim sum Chinese place. Service was good. - Seafood Pan Fried Noodles (5/5): My absolute favorite. The noodles were perfectly crispy with a generous mix of seafood, and the sauce was flavorful without making everything soggy. - Eggplant (4.5/5): So yummy. Soft, well-cooked, and nicely seasoned without being overly oily. - Filet Mignon (4.5/5): Surprisingly tender and cooked really well. Great flavor overall - House Fried Rice (4/5): Solid and satisfying. Paired nicely with the other dishes. read more

BEST DUMPLINGS! I love this place and look for any excuse to visit. It's also fun to visit the local bookstore novel afterward and get a book! Or head to Penzeys. There's just a lot of stuff around here so I like to make a day of it and visit this place and a few other places. I hear they have karaoke in the back so I def wanna check that out sometime! I LOVE the dumplings here. They are so tasty and I want to try every dumpling they have. I've never heard of Tong Cho Shrimp but it was delicious. I also loved the chicken noodles. It sounded super basic but it tasted super delicious. I'd definitely try some more noodle dishes next time. The duck wasn't really that tasty. We ended up with a lot of bones in the meat part and I wasn't really that fond of the fried skin. I also wasn't fond of the Lobster Fried Rice but that's a personal preference- I don't like having to fight for my food. So both dishes required me to fight to get the meat either off the bone or out of the shell, which is why I didn't like either of them. No surprise that I loved the Broccoli and Beef as it is a childhood favorite and I seem to like it everywhere. However, the Chicken Broccoli we tried had a tasty flavor that worked really well with the chicken but for some reason didn't work as great with the broccoli for me. On another visit a lady came around with appetizers on a cart for people to grab. My friend got sesame balls and I got some sort of dumplings. The receipt said they were fried shrimp balls. They are my new favorite and I had to hold myself back from ordering more. The Kung Pao Chicken was ok but better with the chili oil they brought to the table.I think the one downside to this place is that they tend to put the entire table on one ticket. They can split it at the end but it does make things more complicated. I'll have to ask next time if it has to be on the same ticket at first or not. Another way around this is for everyone to just bring cash. To Try: All dumplings all noodle dishes Moo Goo Gai Pan Xianen Rice Noodles Fried Dumpling Loved: - Beef and Broccoli - Dumplings: Cilantro - Dumplings: Fried Shrimp Balls (NEW FAV) - Dumplings: Shrimp Haw Gow - Noodles: Beef with Rice Noodle (FAAAV!) - Noodles: Chicken with Pan Fried Noodles - Tong Cho Shrimp Liked: - Dumplings: Soup - Noodles: Stir Fried with Soy Sauce - Sesame Chicken - Soup: Egg Drop Ok: - Appetizer: Baked BBQ Pork Buns - Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables - Bun: Pork - Chicken Broccoli - Chicken over Chinese Greens (bok choy) - Fish: Steamed Whole Cod - Kung Pao Chicken Disliked: - Appetizer: Sesame Balls - Appetizer: Spring Rolls - Fried Rice: Sticky Rice with Lobster - Noodles: Chicken Pan Fried - Peking Duck read more

We arrived as they opened at 11am and were able to get seated quickly. Their dim sum has carts that come to the table as opposed to no carts and ordering a la carte. Very simple decor and also had screens available for those who want to watch games. The dim sum did not disappoint. The shui mai was very good as were some of the fried items. The egg tart had an incredibly flaky crust. I understand why relatives who are locals like to frequent this location regularly. read more

Dim Sum King - Lobster - Chinese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

BEST DIM SUM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | This has got to be by far the best dim sum I have had in a lonnnnnnngggg time! I don't live here and I'm only in town for the weekend, but I saw that this place has dim sum ALL WEEK LONG, and after looking at the menu their dim sum looked incredibly appealing! Now looks can be deceiving; I know it's in a quieter shopping plaza with not much around, and it looks small from the outside, but when I tell you then can fit at least 100 people in here you can! Service was pretty good, we got drinks right away but it did take a few minutes for them to realize we were ready to order. That's okay though, they bring each item out individually as it is ready, so the food is extremely hot and fresh! AND THE PRICES!!!! Everything is literally such a good deal, every dim sum plate is between 5-7$ and the best deal we got was a generous amount of roasted duck (K43) FOR 8$!!! It was very delicious and moist, and all of that for only 8$ was crazy! We ordered 10 plates from the dim sum menu and the duck for around 75$ and I think that was a very great deal. Staff was very nice and good at what they do, I wish I could go back!! read more

Absolutely horrible, I feel like Dim Sum King is a scam. First off the communication is bad, the server didn't explain anything so my family just sat at the table confused. 3 drinks ended up being 23 dollars. Lastly, they kept coming around with food on their carts asking us if we wanted to buy any, we would say no but they would still be pushing us to take it. Worst of all they kept trying to give the food to the youngest child at the table because they knew if she took it we would have to put it on our bill. After one lackluster helping of buns we left due to the environment and situation making my family anxious about everything and how much we would end up paying if we stayed for rest of the meal. read more

Delicious!!! This was my first time eating here and it will definitely not be my last! Hot, fresh and scrumptious not to mention generous portions read more

Dim Sum King Memphis TN ... Best Chinese restaurant in Tennessee! Please take this opinion from a Chinese from Hong Kong who has also lived in Singapore. Dim Sum King's dim sum is really good. But the restaurant's name does not do it justice because they serve many authentic Chinese dishes. Huge oysters with scallion, superb roast duck, Chinese vegetables ... all expertly prepared. This is not a small restaurant. They have a full service bar. The dining room is spacious with an attractive ambiance. The service is attentive. Price is reasonable for the quality. The only caution I would advise is ask the price of the Market Price menu items when ordering. I live in Indiana. Found this restaurant on my way to Arizona. I will make sure my route back to Indiana includes a stop in Memphis so I can dine at Dim Sum King again. read more

Solid Dim Sum option in the greater Memphis area! The gailan, juupu cha (chrysanthemum and Puer tea), and Turnip cake were all really good.

My husband and I have been here a few times before, but only once did they have the carts going around. This past weekend was my mom's birthday and she was visiting us for the holidays, so we took her here for her birthday dinner since we have a traditional "eat noodles for long life" on birthdays. Upon arrival we were seated right away. I noticed the carts weren't going around so we just have to order off menu. It took a few minutes before someone came to get our drink orders and then about another five or so for someone to come back to take our food orders. I was only able to get a few pics since they didn't come out at the same time and we were already eating when the others came. Pictured : for my mom's noodles she ordered the beef pan fried. She loves the veggies that come with it and the sauce was a perfect ratio to the noodles. Roast duck is always a must. The meat was nice and tender, and no need for plum sauce as its own sauce was great with it. My mom loves egg tarts and had to try it here. She said it reminded her of the ones back home. The tart was perfect and no too sweet for her. Not pictured: my husband and I ordered the shrimp pan fried since my mom is allergic to shellfish. They gave a good amount of shrimp that we had leftovers of it. For dim sum we ordered the pork and shrimp shu mai, soup dumplings and steamed bao. Shu mai is always a must in dim sum. My boys love the soup dumplings as they are a perfect meat ratio in them. And my little ate all the steamed bao to himself. They are a perfect size for him. Overall the food here is great. We have yet to eat something that we didn't like. I wish we knew the time frame of the carts because that's the whole experience of a dim sum place. read more

Oh yeah, this one is another local gem. It's about as close as you'll get to dim sum out here. The experience is similar as I remember it out west in SGV, CA. There's some differences, but overall a solid experience. If you're in a big enough party, you'll definitely get the big round tables that can be filled with all the glorious options that are carted out to you. The place is also huge, and everyone carting the food is super nice. Cilantro dumplings were a 5/5. Chinese broccoli, too good. Chinese bbq pork buns, 5/5. Steamed pork buns, solid. Fried pork buns, yup another 5/5. Steamed flat rice noodles with beef, YES. Fried shrimp, can I get another 5/5? They also have a diverse menu that features "Americanized Chinese" like lo mein. I helped myself to an order of chicken lo mein and beef ho fun noodles. Both are FULL of flavor and cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious noodles. This was plenty enough to have left over for the after at home. I seriously wish I could eat more, it was all too good. Honestly, this one started as a 4/5 but thinking about it... I really didn't feel right not giving it a 5/5. It was that good. I can't wait to go back, so I can load up on some more beef ho fun and delicious dumplings. read more

First time at the Dim Sum King in Memphis for a work dinner. It was just the two of us, so we ordered only 6 plates and left full. Roasted duck, crispy pork belly, shrimp rice rolls, BBQ pork buns, shumai, and soup dumplings. YUM! I would have loved some type of veggie option like snow pea leaves, but you can order off the regular menu too. The service was good with someone coming around to check on us every so often. read more

The fried rice was very tasty ! It was cooked well, light, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The fresh broccoli was a standout: crisp, vibrant, and clearly added at just the right time to keep its texture. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, making this one of the best fried rice dishes I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend! read more

Always looking for good dim sum so tried this one night. The menu is encyclopaedic. And we had no clue where to start. Fortunately the waitress was helpful and we tried several of the different dishes at her suggestion. Wasn't blown away with any of it. The soup dumplings were good but there were only 4 of them. The wonton soup and egg drop soup were okay. There were crunchies to go in the soup. There is a party room divided from the main dining room by a curtain. We were literally shouting at each other when the party music was on. I'm not too interested in returning. read more

Lunch on a Wednesday. We almost didn't stop bc we saw a line of people outside. It was actually for the OMV next door. Dining was clean. Food was good and authentic. We had house fried rice, sesame balls, roasted duck, roasted pork, imperial chicken, steamed pork buns and egg tart. Dishes were better than on point. We couldn't find anyone to refill out drinks though. It was a one cup wonder until we were about to pay our check at the front. A lady came running to our table with the pitcher so we inhaled what we could and left. The egg tarts came out first and really stole the show. read more

After traveling all day instead of trying Memphis barbecue. We decided to try dim sum for the first time. The inside is really nice with plenty of seating, parking lot is shared with other businesses but definitely no issues with parking. The service was friendly and fats. We did decide to rate the small dishes 1 to 10. 1 being ewww to 10 would Definitely recommend and will order again Keep in mind we got all of this food for $64.00 which to us was a great deal. BBQ Pork Pastry Puffs Tom 7 Me 5.5- the flakey crust was so buttery and the inside was sweet and tender with pieces of pork. To me this dish was to flakey for me not enough eat to Pastry ratio. BBQ Roasted Duck Tom 9 Me 4- This was definitely his favorite dish we had, but me to many small bones for the amount of meat you get off a piece. The sauce was really good but did have a black licorice taste. I would pass on this dish BBQ Roast Pork Ribs Tom 9 Me 10- hands down my favorite dish. It was like eating little burnt end rib nuggets. So juicy with a sweet BBQ caramelized to perfection Roast Pork Belly Tom 9.5 Me 10- so many different textures all in one piece, you taste a porkchop, bacon, and a pork rind. No sauce even needed. Just pop these little babies right in your mouth and enjoy. Sweet n sour chicken Tom 9 me 9- huge portion which is totally shareable. The sauce is not to sweet and very good. Shrimp and Pork Siu Mai Tom 6.5 Me 1- nope never again maybe this was a texture thing for me but the taste reminded me of what a fish bowl smells like. This was a pass for me Soup Dumplins Tom 8.7 Me 10- perfectly cooked little dumplins with a nice broth and a pork inside this was a tie for me on the best dish. Definitely make sure to try this place out and order multiple small dishes like we did and share read more

12-24-25 We were there for lunch. We ordered dinner and we probably regretted it. The cook dropped the ball on certain dishes. We were really disappointed with the Chinese Roast Duck. The last time and this time that the duck was not a whole one. They kept the meaty pieces and gave us mostly all bones with little meat. The Cha Siu was not fresh as well. The House Pan Fried Noodle was not really good either. The noodles were dried out. The other dishes came in small portions as well. Kobe was not there. I hope that he would take notice. read more

Very slow service and vey unorganized! The building is too large , not good decor ( large computer signs everywhere) but slow and very poor management. Located next to the drivers license center .
