DIM SUM | we stopped through Augusta for lunch on our way to Charleston and stumbled upon Meimei's…read moreDim Sum House, which was a pleasant surprise. It was a cold winter day and I just wanted something comforting for lunch. It was quiet but not empty inside Meimei's and we were quickly seated and placed our order. They had dim sum on the menu so we decided to try the dim sum sampler, which came with two steamed pork dumplings, 2 veg crystal dumplings, 2 siu mai and 1 char siu bao. While it could easily feed one, it was also great for sharing. We also ordered an order of lotus leaf sticky rice, fried pork glutinous dumplings, taro custard pastries and a bowl of hot and sour soup. The dim sum sampler was surprisingly pretty. The color of the veg crystal dumplings was one of the most insta-worthy things I've ever seen! The taste of everything was a-ok. Definitely worth a try, though! We loved the fried poor glutinous dumplings - fried to crispy perfection without being overly greasy. And the taro custard pastries were the perfect not too sweet way to end the meal. I was a little disappointed in the lotus leaf sticky rice. The texture was off and flavor was bland. Next time I'm in stopping through Augusta, I'll definitely be back at Meimei's for dim sum!!

This place is probably the only DIm Sum place in Augusta…read more The Dim Sim is very meh. When tasting multiple types of Dim Sum it's mainly the dough wrapped around it feels more overwhelming than the actual meat inside so on average it's about, maybe a 4/10. BUT the most craziest part is their Sizzling Rice soup is probably the one of the few best soups I've had. The broth extremely good being a lot of Sizzling rice soups are very bland this is different. Their desserts are also very good being their Sesame Ball and their Taro Custard is also probably the best and their green tea custard The identify of this place is very wierd because I actually enjoyed more of their soups and other dishes and desserts than their Dim Sum even though it's called the Dim Sum House.

We've been here several times for take out and dine in. The food is solid every time. I really like…read moretheir Chow Fun (I prefer beef, mom prefers seafood) and the dim sum items like Har Gow, Cheung Fun, Shanzhou Ngau Yuk, Ham Sui Gok, Lo Mai Fan and Jian Dui. They also have a shrimp wrapped in bacon deep fried and also shrimp in eggplant that are delicious. They have a large variety of dimsum. If you go too early, a lot of things won't be made yet and you will have to wait. Seems the later you go on the weekends, the more options they have. If you order pick up, give it about 25 minutes because they get so busy on the weekends. If you're dining in, it isn't always so easy to get a waiter's attention for things. So if you do, just ask for everything you think you'll need at once. Sometimes I just bring extra utensils and stuff with me so I don't have to wait for anyone to come over. I'm that girl that will put a bottle of Ranch in my bag (except it's chili oil or Sambal). They have chili oil at the tables and their chili oil is pretty good. If you're dining in they give you a discount if you pay with cash. The ambiance is of a typical dim sum place. Just come as you are in your sweats and enjoy your Yum Cha.

I have to be honest... it's been a while since I last visited. We noticed that our friends have…read morebeen raving about this place suddenly so we visited.. the Dim sum was very tasty. We walked in a busy afternoon time and there was plenty of seating. We only had to wait about 10-15 min for a table of 7. Instantly after sitting, we were flooded with options from century egg congee, fried egg tarts, fried shrimp balls, pork Shumai, pork ribs and so much more. I really also enjoyed the chicken feet!another cool part was they brought a menu of additional items to order. We ordered the Chinese donut steam roll and the highlight was definitely the mochi meat "football" bun. Overall definitely our new favorite dim sum!

I've been here a few times over the years, and we quite like this place due to its location: it's…read moreright next to a Costco. Outside of that, the dim sum is good. There are some differences to how menu items are made/taste from when I first had it, so I feel as though the chef has most likely changed. It's both good and bad because the menu items with taro aren't quite as nice as before, but other things are either the same or better like the Beef Ho Fun for example. The chicken feet have changed too, but both were good. All the classic items are still basically the same. I liked the pan fried chives dumplings and beef cheung fun here. I can't speak for dinner or how it is on the weekdays, but it's quite busy over the weekends, which is expected for dim sum. It's a large space too, but once it's busy, you'll have to take a number and wait for a table. There's some seating along the side of the entrance to wait, but it may still take awhile. Usually, only one person really has to go and take a number, so if possible, one person should strive to get there earlier.

The Canton House on Buford Highway is my family's go-to for authentic Cantonese dim sum in Atlanta…read more The food is always up to expectations each and every visit. Having been at least once every couple months for years, it's our Chinese comfort food as dim sum is meant to be. Although I would recommend arriving at anytime they are open, we find the absolute best time for dim sum is to arrive right at opening on Saturday or Sunday. This time lets us beat the wait, get a great table fast, and the food is super plentiful, hot and fresh out of the kitchen. The chrysanthemum tea is a must have and complements the food as a perfect, tasty, and just sweet enough palate cleanser (although I would prefer to add the rock sugar myself to my tea, they serve it with sugar already inside the pot). For the absolute best pairing with your chrysanthemum tea, make sure to save room for the awesome pineapple buns while supplies last. They were out today and we all collectively cried (will be going back just for the pineapple buns soon...we are just not complete without them!). We love all the dishes, but our absolute favorites (outside of the pineapple buns) are the pork spare ribs with black bean, the beef rice rolls/noodles, shrimp dumplings, and turnip cakes. Add some spicy sauce to the spare ribs and turnip cakes to really set them off! For iced coffee lovers who like it really strong, don't pass up on the iced coffee. It has legs that are strong enough to walk, but completely complements the dim sum with a little extra boost to help you enjoy the day. So, I challenge others to find a better dim sum place in Atlanta. That is why Canton House earns my 5th star and looking forward to getting my pineapple buns (really) soon!

I was quite surprised that I was able to get a table when I went on a Saturday 11ish AM (peak…read moredimsum hours!). Good service with the push carts rolling around passing the tables often. We started with the flower tea, amazing choice! Sweet and warming, nicely aromatic. Perfect start. Then the dim sum carts rolled in and we chowed down. DISHES I ORDERED - Siu Mai: Not the best I've had. Quite oily on the outside, but the flavor isn't bad. It does...taste like siu mai. It's just nothing spectacular - Chinese Broccoli: A classic! Very good - Beef Chow Fun: A very chewy and bouncy home made flat noodle dish. Savory, salty, and flavorful! Good amount of tender beef too. - Shrimp Balls: Crispy and fried on the outside, yummy, with good big shrimp ball. Yummy classic sweet and sour sauce too. Delicious - Egg Rolls: Good, not too oily, a normal egg roll - Spare ribs: Possibly my favorite dish! Tender, not too chewy, good savory sweet flavor. -- Overall, it's not bad but it's nothing to write home about. My favorite item was probably the spare ribs. The rest were standard in my opinion. However, service is fast since it is dimsum, so perfect to eat when hungry! Also great ambiance for big group parties or hangouts!

The only thing that was a negative would be their sodas. So flat and no carbonation. They should definitely do canned sodas instead. Other than that the food is authentic and excellent!

Based on today's Dim sum lunch, it seems like the food is getting better. The steamed chicken bao were better than expected, the rice noodle wrapped Yao Tiu were excellent as usual, steamed spare ribs were not a disappointment this time, beef tripe was okay and the mixed beef organ stew was spot on! We'll keep going back as long as they improve.

Not ready for prime time…read more Very limited choices in dimsum carts on weekdays. Some basic choices were not available, and no menu for other items.

We eat here often at jusgo food court & get soup dumplings most often…read more We had our son with us so we got him the Shanghai udon noodles since he's just 14 months so not ready for spicy foods But the udon noodles were great! The sauce was flavorful & a great portion size of noodles for $10. There wasn't really much meat but that was fine because we really just wanted noodles and bok choy which were the main stars of the dish. We also got an order of soup dumplings for ourselves The food comes out piping hot so you have to wait to eat & the dumplings have a very thin skin. I'd say northern China eatery dumplings are better but these are solid for the food court! FYI the sign is not in English so don't look for the English name They also have a machine you can order on or order from the attendant Food took maybe 10-15 mins to cook

Happy Valley Dim Sum & Cantonese Cuisine in Norcross, GA…read more Happy Valley has been around for about 30 years. This was actually my first time visiting their new location. My family has always been a fan of Happy Valley. Har Gow 9.5/10 Translucent skin with a full shrimp inside. The texture and flavor are very close to what I've had in Guangdong. Hong Kong Style Egg Tart 9/10 Best when they come out fresh. Flaky buttery crust with smooth egg custard and a golden top. Feng Zao (Chicken Feet) 8.5/10 Good color and the skin has the classic wrinkled texture from braising. The flavor is savory with a slight sweetness, though a little lighter than expected. Beef Tripe 8.5/10 Tender with a slight chew and absorbs the sauce well. The radish underneath was really good. Beef Rice Roll 7.5/10 The flavor is good, but the presentation is not very Cantonese style. The rice roll is slightly thick but has a nice rice fragrance. The soy sauce they use is not very authentic. I used to eat rice rolls almost every day for breakfast when I was in school in Guangzhou, so I am very picky about rice rolls. Pork Siumai 8.5/10 Pretty classic dim sum. Clams 7.8/10 The clams themselves are fresh and well cleaned. Do not be afraid to ask them to reheat if it comes out cold. However, the sauce was a bit too heavy for me.

Overall I'd give…read morethis place a 2 to 2.5 out of 5 (at most a 3). For the price and the area, the food quality just wasn't there, especially compared to other dim sum spots we've tried across the US and Vancouver. Food quality Most of the dim sum we ordered came out cold, and some items seemed like they were reheated (microwave style) to warm them up. That made the outer texture thicker and less pleasant. Even the fried items were disappointing: the outside was soggy, not crisp. I especially had high hopes for fried items like fried taro and fried eggplant, but both were below par. Best item we tried The one standout was the Hong Kong style seafood chow mein with a clear sauce. That dish was genuinely good. Everything else ranged from "okay" to forgettable. Value I don't remember the exact total, but for a similar spend, I strongly feel you could get better dim sum elsewhere. It didn't feel worth the money. Service Service was fine. They were willing to heat items when we asked, which I appreciated, but it also highlighted the bigger issue: dim sum should arrive hot and properly cooked in the first place. Atmosphere The atmosphere was actually nice. It was pretty clean, and on Sunday there were carts, which could have been fun. But because many items were cold and not great, we ended up ordering instead of relying on the carts. Would I return? No. The space is pleasant, but the food and overall execution just don't justify the price.

The skin was thick, the meat was firm, it wasn't soupy inside. 5 little dumplings in each bamboo basket. Others we ordered, fried soy skin rolls, the rolls were tiny, the filling was decent, these rolls were over fried. Sharks fin dumplings, dry, meat inside too firm. 烧麦 dry. Chicken wanton skin too thick, soggy and soft on the outside. Fried string beans with beef, string beans stir fry, fried rice sticks noodles with chicken, sweet sour fish slices. Overall the non dim sum items were better than the dim sum. The flavor in general catered to the local palate - too sweet. Honestly the name needs to change as the dim sum weren't good and therefore, not heavenly. Suggest go elsewhere for dim sum. If you're in a hurry and need a quick fix for lunch then go here.

Best BBQ is a Cantonese food stall located inside Great Wall Supermarket. They sell favorites like…read moreroast pork and duck as well as dim sum. Out of all the food stalls in the food court, this one was the most popular when I went. It was pretty lively in the back corner, which is where this place is located. I thought the service was fine. The workers are there to get work done, not to perform outstanding customer service. I got the Crispy Pork on Rice! I love getting this meal at these Cantonese/Chinese places. I found the pork belly to be really tasty. There was a nice marinade over the skin and meat, plus the skin was pretty crispy even when some of the pieces got a little too moist inside the container. I thought there was a generous portion of the crispy pork in my meal. There were some mustard greens in the rice plate which added nice variation in taste. I also got a small cup of complementary soup on the side which I did not try but it did smell good. Overall, I think that my meal was pretty good. I would probably come back if I am ever inside the Great Wall Supermarket.

After you finish, just bring your tray of food to the counter on the left.
