My Canada Day consisted of flying out to Winnipeg and ending my day taking in the festivities at Princess Auto Stadium. I spent a couple of hours enjoying Canadian musicians and bands playing live music. I was getting tired by 8 pm. My day had started at 4:30 am. There was a thunderstorm warning. I felt like grabbing takeout and heading back to the apartment for dinner. I looked at my Fantuan app and found Dim Sum Kingdom nearby. When I was a Winnipegger, I didn't do a whole lot of Chinese dim sum at restaurants. It was nice taking a chance on this eatery. The gamble paid off. This eatery is on Pembina Highway, just north of Bairdmore Boulevard. It was an eight-minute drive from the stadium. I placed an order just before I got up from my seat and headed out the stadium gates. While still in the stadium, I got a phone call from the business. The woman said that she was out of baked barbequed pork buns, which I had ordered. She asked if it was okay to substitute them for steamed ones. I was game. I already liked the customer service from this place. Great communication! My order consisted of these items: - Steamed barbequed pork buns - Pan-fried pork dumplings - Steamed beef balls wrapped in bean curd sheets - Siu mai - Har gow - Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves - Wonton soup There was an option on the app to pick six dim sum items. The wonton soup was extra. I was given an estimated time of twenty minutes for my order to be ready. I took my time. I bought a Bombers t-shirt. I leisurely left the stadium and crossed the street to fetch my rental vehicle. I then hit the speed limit and cruised over to this restaurant. You enter the plaza by hanging a right on Bairdmore if you are going westbound. The plaza isn't the smoothest ride. There is lots of parking. I backed into a spot near the restaurant's street sign. I waited for ten minutes before I got the notification that my food was ready. I walked in. The restaurant is large. I had a woman greet me. I let her know what my Fantuan order number was. She found my order and handed everything to me in a plastic bag. I thanked her and left with my food. I headed back to the apartment. I had ordered enough food for dinner and leftovers for breakfast the following day. I was happy. The dim sum here is authentic. It was delicious. If you are looking for prettiness when you open each container, you won't get it here. It's like they took the har gow in the steamer and plopped them into the container. It was the case for all my items. My least-favourite item was the wonton soup. The wontons were excellent. They were flavourful, had a lot of pork filling, and held up nicely in the soup. The broth was extremely peppery. I felt like this place wanted to get rid of its white pepper for some weird reason and dumped a lot of it in my soup. The steamed barbequed pork buns had so much filling. They were excellent. The buns were fluffy and warm. The har gow and siu mai were scrumptious. They had lots of filling. The wrappers held everything together. They tasted fresh and were juicy. The pan-fried dumplings were massive. They were lightly pan-fried. The filling was generous. They were perfectly made. Yum! I loved the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. There was so much pork and other filling goodies inside the sticky rice. Each packet was enjoyable to unpack and enjoy. I used to not enjoy bean curd sheets around beef balls. As of late, I like them. This place gives you so much bean curd sheets around each beef ball that you wonder whether they are the main event. They were fabulous. Each beef ball was perfectly steamed. The bean curd sheets around each one were so good, especially with the sauce that these balls were in. Excellent! It's nice that there's a restaurant that specializes in authentic, yummy dim sum. You can also order main dishes at this restaurant. I may do that next time, but I'd probably head back and order more dim sum items off the menu. Dim Sum Kingdom was a great find. I highly recommend it if you love dim sum done right. (304) read more

Why such a low rating average? When I came here recently, I was quite satisfied with the quality of food here. And I'm from near Toronto - I know what good East Asian food is supposed to be like! This place used to be called Dim Sum Garden but was recently renamed Dim Sum Kingdom. To me, this place will always be known as Dim Sum Garden deep down in my heart. I used to live nearby Winnipeg years ago, so during a trip back, I paid a visit to this restaurant as I had come here many times in the past. Although the name has changed, I'm happy to report that the food is exactly the same as I remember it being! There is a large selection of food items to choose from. The service is quite attentive, efficient, and quick. The interior can get pretty noisy at times. Prices are excellent for the amount of food you are served. No breaking the bank here! This really bothers me though, one star is taken off due to the very filthy and sketchy looking washroom. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. That makes me wonder what the cleanliness of the kitchen looks like. Other than that, I'd recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area or who's visiting. read more

Came up on my feed, but that octopus commercial looks tucking gross. Eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

No 1. Service is very poor. No first come first​ serve. You wait like forever for your order that is served gradually. Uncoordinated, disrespectful and bias staff. No 2. Food is not even so delicious. Some are undercooked and very small serving. No other sauce for dumplings except soy sauce. No 3. Toilets are very filthy. They don't clean. They dont change their gloves while serving food and while cashiering. How much more the food they serve??? Never going back to this filthy kingdom. No tips was given due to poor service. read more

Very disappointing and frustrating. My group of 17 people came at 10PM on May 10, 2024 and the restaurant are half empty. WE WERE CHASED OUT. We explained 4 times if they can accommodate 17 people. We told them we're ordering family-style and paying per tables and we were informed it will be difficult for their kitchen to accommodate our family-style orders. Apparently the empty 7 tables (12seaters) are all reserved so we can't use it. We asked if we can use 4 table (6seater 2X and 4seater 2X) but we were told they rather give the tables to other "paying customers" who might come. We were CHASED OUT apparently WE ARE NOT "PAYING CUSTOMERS". Luckily Ken's Restaurant in Ellice were able to accommodate our group of 17 people. I don't know why is it hard to understand why we can't get tables in Dimsum Kingdom. If 5 people came in they would have given 6seater table - my group just happened to come in at the same time. read more

Went back for dim sum and the meal was pretty good. They have dim sum all day and they are made to order. There's a menu with pictures and all items are written in English and Chinese though there are no prices (see list below for dim sum dishes). The dishes are made to order and are very fresh. The fish congee ($7.95) was very flavourful and a good size to share amongst 3-4 people if you are going to order other things. The shrimp dumplings were good and the dumpling skin was thinner than most places which is a good thing. The steamed pork buns are good though there were only two per order. The stick chicken rice in the banana leaves was very flavourful and delicious as well. There were lunch specials that go for $8.99 if you don't want to order dim sum. A great deal as you get a soup, rice and an order of BBQ meats or steamed chicken. Dim Sum Pricing: Before 1 pm: $2.90 for small. $3.80 for medium. $4.00 for large. $4.40 for deluxe. 1 pm to 4 pm: $2.40 per dish (s, m, l) 9 pm to midnight: $2.80 per dish (s, m, l) read more

Went for lunch today with my family. Great location with lots of parking. Lots of selections on a pictured menu. You can also order from the traditional menu as well if you want items other than dim sum. Orders are written on a paper and placed. The food came out fast and efficiently. The dim sum was tasty. Favorites were the Tofu with shrimp and the Shark fin dumplings. Service was timely. Overall a great dim sum place. My family enjoyed it. Especially during happy hour !!! read more

i stepped in close to opening hours, shortly after 11 am, and it was already busy, tables full of steamers and an assortment of dishes. with the amount of people they usually get, it's rather loud, and can sometimes be difficult to hear the person across from you. aside from that, it's a great experience that feels authentic, like a bustling restaurant in hong kong that you see in the media. the food service is a little slow and isn't exactly piping hot. the food comes in groups, not everything necessarily all at once. however, the waitress came by often to refill our waters, which is something not very common. i enjoyed that. i ordered the steamed pork dumpling, shrimp dumpling, shark fin dumpling, steamed and baked pork bun, steamed beef rice roll, chicken feet, honey garlic chicken, and pineapple bun. the beef rice roll was lacking a bit of the sauce that is usually poured overtop and pooled at the bottom, which made it a little dry. however, once you swirled it in the sauce, it was tasty. the shark fin dumpling tasted far too much like a pork dumpling and was rather disappointing. the steamed pork bun had an extremely odd taste and odor to it. they're usually my favourite and i couldn't even finish one. overall, the food was average at best. it would have been better if it had been hotter. would recommend going during happy hour as prices are lower. great spot if you're looking to try an assortment of dishes and wanting to be full! read more

Dim Sum Kingdom - Dim Sum Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

This place was only OK for Dim Sum. They took an order for BBQ pork buns and then at the end of the meal told us they were sold out-thanks that was my main course. They might have mentioned that when we ordered. I do not reccomend. read more

Good food. Good service. Went for happy hour. Nice to see noodles (curry and fried) on dim sum menu! 8 dim sum dishes cost about $33. read more

This restaurant is not my go-to for dim sum. I still love the idea of carts coming around to each table because that's how I grew up eating dim sum! This place gives you a pencil and order sheet of what you want to order and how much. The selection of dim sum here is smaller than other restaurants I've been to. They do give you a menu of other Chinese dishes very much like any other Chinese restaurant. Because the dim sum selection is smaller, we usually have to order noodle dishes or rice dishes to feed our group of 10. Service is lack luster here too. They're nice enough, but they only have 2 girls serving the entire restaurant of about 15 tables. I know the girls are trying to bring out dishes and refill waters and teas but they need to hire more staff. We've come here twice now and had to cancel dishes because they took too long. read more

We're always coming back for dim sum and four season beans! So delicious. They have happy hour: M-F from 1-4 Weekends 11-3 The selection of dim sum is pretty limited IMO but what they make is pretty delicious. Their rice rolls are really good. read more

Absolutely amazing!! Open sooner then expected and not a minute too soon!! Baked BBQ Pork Buns taste wayyyyy better then the original Dim Sum Garden. And the fact they have menus that show pictures for EVERY item which makes ordering a lot easier! It takes a bit of time for the food to arrive but not so overly long that you starve to death. The best part is that when food DOES arrive, it's freaking hot!!! (and fresh!) Definitely a must visit destination for Dim Sum fans and newbies alike! read more

like the food but hate the noise. We really like the Pan-fried shrimp here and the Shanghai Noodles with beef in hot black pepper sauce were really good They really need some dividers to keep the noise down and seriously - what is it with the electronic door chime every time someone goes in and out If you are looking for ambiance - order take out and eat it at home. read more

Loved this place! The service was amazing, the wait was a decent time and most importantly the food was delicious! Very affordable. I find the menu can be slightly confusing for those who come for the first time, but eventually you try new things and find your new favorites. The place is definitely big enough for a large group of people and the environment is very pleasant. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something new and unusual, and at the same time really good. Thanks you for a pleasant experience. read more

Super slow, super disorganized, super poor service. I waited 1 hour and they even didnt start preparing the dishes

This place has decent dim sum but the other food doesn't have much taste to it. Ordered the curry chicken and the five spice salt and pepper shrimp which both did have any flavour. read more

terrible service, no soya sauce on table can hardly get a server to your table. Ordered 3 minor items yet it took them 15 mins to get one dish out and then another 15 for the next one and so on. Egg tarts were watery and tasted like they'd been sitting out for a while. Do not recommend at all. read more

I just ordered in this restaurant per skip the dishes and the food taste awful. The spicy squid so chewy and rubbery and the kum pao chicken is spicy but so tangy that that's all you can taste. I will never order from this restaurant again. Save your money. read more

Was at this restaurant yesterday at noon, went for dine in and was told to leave the restaurant because it was only open for groups of 10 people or more although there were people sitting and dinning who were less than 10. Tried to reason with the waitress but she insisted on getting a take out, after my friend and I left we called them the very next minute and was told that they are open for dine in (even if it's just 2 people) , went back in and dined. The waitress was still there and she didn't even have the courtesy to come to us and apologise for the inconvenience or whatsoever, her behaviour was rude and seemed like she doesn't know what customer integrity is. All in all food is great for the price but lacks in "CUSTOMER SERVICE" read more

Going here is like giving birth because you forget the pain (so I've heard) so you keep going back. When I go the food is just carelessly made. I've ordered the spareribs on rice for take-out and they just give me the spareribs and forget the rice. These are thick with joint gristle and oozing oil. The black beans are few and far between, like moles on your back. The rice rolls are ALWAYS sold out unless you go at lunchtime. They used to be well done but the recent times I've been able to get them (like catching a leprechaun or something, but think pot of grease at the end of the rainbow) they have been nothing of note. The rice roll itself is limp and flaccid, the soy sauce is diluted AF, and not sweet at all. Their soy sauces on the table are like concentrated from not being circulated so they are black like tar. Organic eyeliner, anyone? The red sauce is diluted, bitter Sriracha. I have to go around carrying Panda Express chili packs in my bag now because of this hot sauce problem. The hot and sour soup is hot and cold in terms of consistency; sometimes it is like drinking plain beef consomme and other times I have some and I need to reach for a Tums because it hits the heartburn like seeing your partner's cheating texts. Food takes a really long time to come but then comes all at once. Server girls never look happy and are either numb-neutral or super-sulky. The only one who has been really nice was a slender man (maybe a manager or someone big like that) but I've only had him once and never again. Whenever I go here, my pocketbook sees the Slender Man too and comes out a bit thinner and still hungry. read more

We used to go to the location on Rupert now this is our location of choice. They haven't always had the carts serving items as they do on Rupert so we have ordered our favorites off the menu. The quality of food is much better at this location - fresher and tastier. Highly recommend read more

Our first outing to this fun little Dim Sum restaurant and likely merits are return visit. The service was efficient but I would never accuse them of being overly engaging. Pleasant but very business-like. The menu selection is reasonable but the pictures don't always equate to what arrives at the table. I was very pleased at how attentive they were to ensuring our waters were always topped up and the tea pot was never empty. On the other hand, when we asked for some servings of the hot chili oil, that took several reminders. We had a wide selection and for the most part they were tasty but even from dim sum, the portion size was adequate, not generous. A few of the dishes we enjoyed include the sticky rice, pork ribs and the pork balls. They were very tasty but nothing really stood out. So if we were in the area we would likely go back but on the other hand, would not go out of our way for a return visit. A solid 3. read more

The food taste good but it takes soooo long to get food. It was my second time coming here and having the same experience

The food is delicious, its quick, a nice morning/lunch enviroment, and has a nice variety of food. The service was pretty good, except for one time when the lady dropped the dish but she was new so its fine. Will come back lots. read more

Went today, ordered a eggplant dish, it smells stinky and tastes sour with rotten shrimp filling in the eggplant. I know Chinese chef can be creative but this is just too low. How come serve rotten food? Are you guys nose blind? Are you guys try to kill me on Christmas Eve? Never go this place again! Please stay away from this place! read more

Fantastic and open till 1am. Great service. Very basic interior. Doesn't matter because the food is so tasty!

Today November 6 2016, I when to dim sum garden restaurant on 2677 pembina Hwy, I order the food came so fast, before eat I told my kid go washroom wash hand, in the washroom they have two toilet, when I go past first toilet the girl work at kitchen came out from TOILET walk thru kitchen, she Didn't wash her hand. I came out talk to my parent about that girl, not even 5 mins one of another table man go to washroom he saw the guy work at kitchen didn't wash hand, he came tell the waitress, they just laugh, we are so mad they don't care about that, we tell them we will called Manitoba health inspector. after today I don't go back there. read more

First time there, the wood was good but the service was kind of rude but quick. Prices ok, quality of the food 5/5.

There was a lot of selection and it was cheaper than other chinese restaurants Ive been to. The best part I think is that it's Vegetarian friendly. The server was kind enough to show and tell us about vegetarian options that were made available to us. The plain fried rice was amazing as well as steamed vegetables. I've never had such good vegetarian food and Im not even a vegetarian. I definitely recommend the consomme soup. read more

The quality of food served in Dim Sum Garden is poor. On Father's day, 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered were really bad. The pork chops in special chef's sauce (#43 on menu) consisted of only prrk bones - the meaty parts odf the chops were not in the dish, only the bony parts. For $13.95, we expected some meat in the dish. The second dish was "Tofu and assorted Chinese Greens - 193 on menu). THere were no Chinese Greens at all. The dish had 3 small pieses of tofu, a few broccoli, carrots. cauliflower, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. This dish is named |Buddha#s Delight| in Chines. What a delight!!! read more
