Back again!! They never disappoint. We came Sunday with a group of five and a variety of taste. Sweet-and-sour soup, outstanding soup dumplings, spicy noodles and crispy chicken on a stick, Curry chicken, beef, and broccoli Restaurant is very clean and staff very attentive. I come here every time I visit from Chicago. read more

YES all the dim sum and some more! I haven't had much dim sum and while this place doesn't have the carts, the dim sum is absolutely astounding in variety. If you aren't familiar you'll have to take some guesses on what dishes have certain textures or flavors but part of the fun is everyone trying parts of everyone else's dishes. The green beans are truly flavorful and a great burst of fresh fiber to pause in between all the rich dishes. It may sound basic but the scallion pancake was just so delicious, deeply crispy with the sweet sauce compliment. I loved the huge screen they have with different shows and was absolutely part of the experience. Grab your friends and go check this place out! read more

Before heading over to a show at the theater we went here for dinner, lots of seating and we were serviced right away. The menu has lots of options, especially for vegetarians. Our favorite was the general tso tofu because it was crispy. The scallion pancake was our second favorite followed by the pan fried vegetable dumplings because we didn't love the filling. Our waters were constantly refilled and food came out hot and quickly. We left we happy and full bellies. read more

Have eaten in multiple Dim Sum places across country - this was not one of better experiences. True- availability of ingredients could be an issue such as SF or NYCity possess. But fried foods such as pancakes or dumplings - oil needs to be changed or run hotter. Greasy. Little flavor. Cucumber dish could have been great but sauce was minimal and lacking punch. Staff was sparse on a Thursday lunch time. Not attentive. Surroundings were ok read more

This is the first time I am leaving a review of this nature. I was dining at this restaurant when I watched a middle aged waitress with short hair practically yelling at a young man to leave a tip in front of everyone. He appeared to try to diffuse the situation and explain his side but she ignored him and demanded a tip. It was very uncomfortable and unprofessional on the waitress's part. I think this is wrong. You never know someone's situation and whether he had enough to pay for the tip. Terrible sight to see. I will not be returning. read more

Would give 0 stars if feasible. Unfortunately, the food was good but the service was TERRIBLE. Since the minute we walked in it seemed as though we were a nuisance to them. My family (3 people) and I are new to the area and ordered a set of dumplings each, excited to try it. After ordering this the waitress (I don't know her name, but an older woman with short hair and glasses) rolled her eyes and walked away. I asked her later for straws, to which she rolled her eyes and returned with a single straw which she was holding with her bare hand on the straw hole itself and tossed it on the table. She continued to watch us from afar and talk to her coworkers. At the end she came back to the table, grabbed the menu we had set aside and shoved my purse off of it onto the table. Afterwards we paid our 30$ bill and left a zero dollar tip (because I personally don't believe in enabling this type of behavior). As we were walking out, she chased us and began to reprimand my husband and berate him in front of other customers saying that we HAVE to leave a tip for her and all the other employees. She continued to demand this and raised her voice at him in front of other customers as my husband explained the situation. I have NEVER experienced this level of disrespect and flat out rude behavior. I would avoid this restaurant and try any other of the plenty of options state street appears to offer. Very disappointed, as a business I hope you do better. read more

There are 2 Dim Sum restaurants within 50 feet of eachother in Media but I chose this one. The service is fast and very friendly. Soup and water were served right on arrival and the menu has a wide variety. The Bok choy and dumplings were good but the seafood noodles were very disappointing. They were super salty and only had 2 shrimp. Wouldn't come here again with other options so close! read more

We stopped by here today after a dr appt because we were able to park right in front. Turns out the parking gods led us to the right place. We ordered the soup dumplings, the seaweed salad, marinated cucumbers, pork and cabbage dumpling, pork pancakes, and sticky rice/pork in a lotus leaf. Gosh, everything was so good and if I lived in Media I would eat here a lot. I think my fave was the pork pancake or the soup dumplings. But everything else was a close second. It seemed like a lot of food and I considered ordering another dish to take out/eat at dinner time but decided not to. And now that it is dinner I really regret not getting dinner to go haha. Also the workers were so nice - excellent service. Def will come back here when I'm in the area. read more

I've been coming to this place for over a year now the food could be sometimes inconsistent, but it's usually pretty good when the takeout is on the same level as sit down that restaurant gets high marks in my opinion The entrées are good portion sized very flavorful dishes sometimes can be a bit salty but this is Chinese food rice dishes are very flavorful overall very good high-quality food read more

We stopped by for Sunday lunch and even with a full house we were seated right away. From the first to last interaction, absolutely fantastic and attentive service from everyone. We ordered the Hong Kong Shui Mai, crispy turnip cake, spicy dumplings and Pork soup dumplings to give a good range of options. Good soup dumplings, great broth and flavor and didn't expect to have so many. The Spicy dumplings had a crispy bottom and such a fragrant filling. I prefer a thinner dumpling dough but it wasn't a dealbreaker at all. Pro Tip: Black vinegar at the table is a game changer, give it a shot if you haven't tried it yet! Most Dim Sum spots either don't have any at the table or use the red vinegar, this was a fantastic find! read more

Dim Sum Mania - White rice Roast Pork Bun Orange Flavor Chicken Chinese Broccoli with Garlic - Dim Sum Near Me

Supposedly, there is an unspoken feud between the two dim sum spots in Media, or so the local lore says...However, after coming to Dim Sum Mania several times, I still cannot get enough. It is a great place for lunch or dinner, with a menu extensive enough to try something different each time, or simply find your favorites and enjoy them over and and over. This is actually one of the few places I return to and order the same thing frequently, which for me, only speaks to the quality of what they do here. For me that is Shredded Pork Noodle Soup with Pickled Cabbage, a continual favorite that I cannot find anywhere but very specific places in Philly in Chinatown. It is perfectly served with hand drawn noodles and perfectly sour and sweet pickled cabbage. Just absolutely delicious. But the real secret about Dim Sum Mania is the perfect soup dumplings they have on offer, as well as the staff who is friendly and always encouraging people to take a step, even if just a small one, out of their comfort zone; even constructing dishes that are a fusion of what local palates may find more usual with traditional Szechuan flavors. The last time I was here, this exact thing happened to me when I was offered a new menu item that was velveted pork, onion, delicious red chilis, and other spices formed into perfectly pan fried meatballs in a savory umami-filled brown sauce. Adding to the uniqueness of the experience is a massive LED screen that has pan-Asian cooking programs on rotation, showcasing interesting preparation techniques and styles, and ingredients that many patrons may have never seen or enjoyed before. All this takes place right on State Street in downtown Media in a bright space with cantilevered doors that can be opened when it's nice outside and adds to the charm of not only the restaurant, but also much of the reason people love Media so much. Not only should you come here, but bring friends or family as it's a nice raucous spot for great conversation and for sharing tons of great food. You'll be sorry if you pass it by when you walk by and see all the satisfied smiles inside. read more

A place I take my family, friends, and dates to, and a place people will drive to from the city. A favorite for anyone who likes dim sum in the area. My waitress last Saturday afternoon sold me on their non-menu special(a) of lion's head and a vegetable dish I think is cardone but not sure. The vegetables were super fresh and lots of oil used for helping the flavor come out. Maybe too much oil but so good. The usual shrimp roll order and soup dumplings I had as well. Before eating, we already knew we'd have to take food home. read more

So excited to have an alternate spot for dim sum in the burbs. You can make reservations too. We were greeted and seated right away. Water was served and our waiter came quickly to order our food on a tablet. Parking is in the street - so you may have to walk a bit as this area is busy with restaurants and Trader Joe's The restaurant is very open with a accordion window doors that brings a nice breeze and sunlight . Dim sum menu is not that extensive live Chinatown places but has the fave dishes . I ordered shrimp dumplings, bbq pork steamed buns, and pork shu mai. We also ordered beef chow fun and chicken fried rice. All delicious. Service was very attentive checking on us and bringing water refills. I will be back soon to try the duck! Love this place! read more

It's not that I want to piece this review together ... hopefully my words will be the glue that stick to your memory in case you visit Media Pennsylvania but frankly it was the tape that took this Dim Sum palace down a star. So, I have been considering Dim Sum Mania for "sum" time. I know, that was poor but I just couldn't help myself. And, upon viewing their menu I was thrilled with the choices and the prices. Soupy Dumpling for me please ... It's really a very appealing dining area that is both open and intimate. Clearly there was some thought to the design because it makes for a perfect location to enjoy quality dim sum as well as some traditional Chinese offerings. Service was prompt and pleasant. I didn't have any questions but I am pretty sure that if I had one or two or more that the attentive staff would have been able to answer them with a smile. I decided to choose Spring Rolls to go along with the dim sum option. Spring Rolls are usually one of those test an Asian restaurant out on a first visit choice. So, I place my order and then I noticed .... the SCOTCH ... ok, it's BYOB and I didn't bring any Scotch (More of a Whiskey man actually.) and no one had offered me a shot. There was SCOTCH TAPE covering the openings of every condiment on my table and on the table next to me. Yes, to access the soy sauce I had to peel back the SCOTCH TAPE ... YUCK!! EWWW!!! And, any other expressions you might think of but frankly it gets a bit worse ... one of the staff walked by and peeled away the tape on one condiment container right in front of me. Now, ok ... I understand that during non-business hours you don't want anything moving into the condiments on the tables but if you are choosing to use SCOTCH TAPE well then before you open your doors you should have a SCOTCH TAPE REMOVER assigned to insure that each little piece of tape is removed before diners sit down in the not so dim lit restaurant to wonder why SCOTCH TAPE is covering a container of sauce that will soon be on their food. There went one star POOF and I began to wonder ... I began to question ... what would the food be like. The SPRING ROLLS arrived with a decent dipping sauce but nothing out of the ordinary. So, I gave a lot of thought about these because they had traces of the cooking oil on them but it was a clean oil not from a fryer over laden with a week's worth of egg roll frying ... and the rolls were cripsy and most importantly very tasty. Not world beaters but lunch time satisfiers. I sat back and awaited the piece de resistance ... the soupy dumplings. The staff member approached carrying the steam basket ... I was so ready and I was so happy and these were so good and so filling that I hardly noticed the SCOTCH TAPE .... ok, I couldn't help but continue to notice the SCOTCH TAPE but my goodness I wanted more of these ... but they filled me up ... I was happy and you can tape me saying that ... well, unless you know me you can't uh tape me and there wasn't enough SCOTCH TAPE to do more than cover those small openings on the condiments not that I noticed the SCOTCH TAPE at all. Believe me ... I will be back and I will come back in a hungry mood because I want to try more of the dim sum at DIM SUM MANIA and as I looked across at another diner's Chinese meal it really looked good too ... I think I am going to have to return extremely hungry and hopefully if I arrive later in the day the SCOTCH TAPE, which I hardly noticed will already have been removed by the restaurant's SCOTCH TAPE remover! If you like dim sum ... head here! read more

We have had dinner here now twice and we are huge fans! The GF and I split everything and keep raving about Dim Sum Mania! We both love Dumplings! The Pork Soup dumplings were to die for! We also enjoyed Chicken Dumplings and the Pork & Chive Pan Fried Dumplings. The pork fried rice was the best we both have ever had in our lives. So are the scallion pancakes! It's BYO even though we have forgotten both times we have dined in! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and pointed us in the right direction on menu options. Can't wait to go back to try more of the delicious food. Doesn't hurt that I work a few blocks away and will probably bringing home takeout home on some nights! Do yourself a favor and give them a try. The food is also very reasonable and plentiful. We had our leftovers the next day and it was still so delicious ! read more

Have had the pork soup dumplings and other noodle dishes and everything is scrumptious. It's an inviting, spacious dining room with a giant screen showing chinese chefs making fabulous dishes. The service is very friendly, helpful and fast. Great place!!! read more

We ordered, beef noodle soup, Singaporean noodle, soup dumpling , pork spare ribs and some veggies off the menu the server recommended. All the foods were tasteless. The spareribs were drowned in oyster sauce, and fluffed up with bok choy nips , the Singaporean noodles were hard with cold protein, the beef noodle soup noodles were hard and undercooked, and the vegetables off the menu had globs of salt . Like who cooked this terrible meal?? He / she should be fired !! To make things worse, the cups were sticky and chopsticks dirty. We eat out 4 times a week and always try new places and am writing an honest review. Do not eat here. Save your money !! read more

Definitely the superior dim sum on the street. Authentic Shanghainese dim sum. Flavors are deep and umami. Good quantity. Service is fast. Facility is updated and new, and in classic Asian restaurant form, has a massive screen playing Chinese videos. Not as good as dim sum in China, but really good for Pennsylvania. Hits the spot. read more

Dim Sum Mania - He Beef Chow Ho Fun - Dim Sum Near Me

I've been going to this place since the year they opened and used to think it was amazing, but the last couple of times I've been, I have noticed a significant decline in the food. Last night put the final stamp on it though--the steamed chicken dumplings were rubbery from being overcooked, the chicken on a stick was over seasoned with something (maybe star anise?) which gave it a black licorice flavor, and the main dish portions have gotten smaller. Although they do still have very good pork sticky buns and the flavor of their general tsos chicken is quite tasty. The two main issues we had with the place last night were the tea and the service. After pouring a cup of tea and taking a sip, I thought the taste was off with a pool water taste and odor of chlorine bleach, so I opened the pot to find lots of bubbles and a stronger odor. I flagged a server and told him about it, he tried it (which I wouldn't have advised) claimed it was fine and gave us a new pot which had even more bubbles in it and still smelled of chlorine bleach. Obviously we didn't drink it. The photo is after the second tea pot had been sitting at the table for the entire dinner, so about 30-45 minutes after settling and still bubbles. Maybe some soap was left in the pot but hopefully not in the urn. Either way, the only bubbles I want in tea are boba. The other unfortunate event was near the end of our meal when one of the servers proceeded to berate the table behind us for what sounded like a mix up with their order--Yelling at them and claiming they ordered something which they didn't seem sure they ordered. I've never been at a restaurant and witnessed this level of hostility happen so it was quite shocking. Hopefully it was just an off night for them as it was very busy, but these two things should be looked into. read more

My husband and I came here for lunch Sunday afternoon. The place was filled with people but wasn't too crowded. We were able to order a bunch of dishes to try and everything came out hot and super fresh. We got the fried shrimp balls, scallion pancakes, Shanghai dumplings, shrimp crepes and crab/pork soup dumplings. The soup dumplings were pretty good! I liked the broth from them but wanted a bit more crab vs. pork. The scallion pancakes were okay. They were a bit over fried. The shrimp balls and shrimp crepes are always a delight wherever I go :) filled with shrimp and very tasty. Good to know that this place is just as good as the ones in the city :) read more

The service was highly attentive and the waitress provided great recommendations. Obviously get the pork soup dumplings, HK shumai, wontons in chili oil. So delicious. The dry pot fish or chili schezuan fish filet is also a stand out dish. The hand made noodles have a wonderful texture and chew. Kids liked the General Tso's and Kung Lao chicken. Beef with broccoli was similar to Other Chinese places. read more

10/22/2021: my wife and I ordered a quick to go order from Dim Sum Mania. The order came out as soon as I stepped into the restaurant. So the whole process only took 10minutes. It was $21 for Beef Chow Ho Fun and Chinese Brocoli with Garlic. We had some leftover stirred fried rice and pork buns at home and the two dishes from Dim Sum Mania complemented the leftovers pretty well. The Beef Ho Fun was really tasty! For $11 the taste and the portion were excellent! I would highly recommend this simple dish! The Chinese broccoli with Garlic was good. Nothing too special about it. For $9 the portion and the taste was good. I would rate the whole 10-minute experience as efficient and the taste for $21 as worthy of a deal! 10/10 for the Beef Ho Fun and 8.5/10 for the Chinese Broccoli with Garlic. read more
