I ordered salt and pepper shrimp, Chinese broccoli, hai gow, egg tarts, and Mongolian beef. Everything is good. If you're a numerically driven person, I had 7 shrimps for 5.95. Down at Yummy House on Eubank you get a whole plate of about 20 salt and pepper shrimps for $12-$13? Egg tart color was a very faint yellow and were slightly bland, yet with a flaky crust. read more

We were seated and no one returned to take our order for 20 minutes. Once our order was taken, we finally received our drinks way after other customers that had been seated after we had sit down. When we had been there an hour, I went to the front and asked when our food would be out. The server looked panicked and we saw our food about 10 minutes later. We had ordered several items for our party of 3. Tried a lot of different things, but nothing was overly impressive. The mango pudding was shaped like a heart on the menu, but when it was served it was almost completely liquid in a small plastic cup. Parking is crazy and their handling of more than one group standing at the door was poor. 4 groups walked in before someone started trying to get some semblance of order by taking names and writing them on the back of receipt paper. I take it they are not normally this busy, but based on the meh food alone, I will not be returning. read more

Excellent dim sum. Good prices and service. Also, their egg custard is very good. Will definitely be back.

It Dimsum has been on my list to try for quite a while and after my run this morning I worked up quite a appetite and finally got the chance to come here with a few of my kids. Normally I would have taken pictures of the food, but my hunger after my run got the best of me. Here is what we ordered... 1. Mango Pudding - none of us liked it. Seemed almost more like jello and had a really light flavor. 2. Baked BBQ Pork Buns - very good. Lots of flavor and the sweet glaze on the roll was amazing. 3. Steamed Pork Dumplings - really good. Glad my kids skipped them and I got to eat all 3. 4. Potstickers - good, but they need some type of dipping sauce to be amazing. Used soy sauce and it wasn't enough. 5. Chicken Fried rice - my son ordered this and it wasn't amazing but wasn't bad. 6. Chow Fun with Chicken - I ordered the stir fried rice noodles but ended up with Chow Fun. It was a pleasant mistake as it was probably the best chow fun I have had in town. Service was good but getting the item I ordered wrong isn't the best. I don't like when wait staff don't write down your orders, it leads to mistakes. I also can't stand when places have canned soda. Refills that cost extra aren't my favorite. All in all, can't wait to bring my wife and try a few other items. read more

The best option for dim sum any day of the wk and is pretty high quality for New Mexico and Albuquerque. My friends and I have been 3 times and everything's fresh because they prepare the food after you order not like traditional dim sum restaurants that show them in a heated cart like in other major cities as I've read some yelp writers complaining about. I'd say sometimes new ways aren't always bad and can be a better way to experience something traditional so I think customers shouldn't let a minor difference that doesn't affect the taste of the food bother them. One yelp writer wrote that she bought some Togo for her husband to try and said it was the worst dim sum she had is pretty wrong since I've read the majority of customers enjoy the food. Seems like she wrote that bad review because she's either a longtime fan or family of the other dim sum place in town and wants to give a bad review of IT DIMSUM to lower the ratings, she's in the wrong for putting up a biased opinion and customers like her shouldn't write because they only like to post on yelp to harm businesses giving no helpful reviews. In fact Maybe it's she and her husband who have bad tastes because the majority of other reviews I've read say the food is good, too bad some people with bad taste blame the restaurant. It's always helpful to give useful suggestions that actually help them improve rather than to just say the entire restaurants the worst thing you've ever had like some yelp writers. Ways IT DIMSUM can be even better and make work easier for themselves : putting forks automatically at all tables for those with no chopstick skills, use bigger tea pots that hold more hot water, give big cups of water so customers aren't needing to ask for refills when it's busy, maybe try ordering the DIMSUM at the front register first before sitting down on the weekdays these are simple service improvements to try and hope you get better and better. read more

The food was really good! We enjoyed a variety of dumplings appreciated the friendliness of the staff.

We had food delivered to our house so I didn't experience the dining room or services. Food: wow we did order quite a few things to try. Honestly there wasn't anything I didn't like. We had the potstickers and I absolutely loved those!! My daughter and I shared the fried rice. She ate most of it and that was her favorite. We also had dumplings pork and chive, both very flavorful and tasty. Hubby had the kung pao beef dinner. He said it was good but he wants to try something other than the beef next time, because it had a lot of fatty pieces in it. We finished with the sweet cream buns and I like them a lot. They were not super sweet but a good way to finish the meal. I am excited to go in and try the place out again but actually dine in. read more

I've been wanting to try this place and I wasn't disappointed. If you really like "different" then this is your place. They have a wide array of delicious dumplings and other tasty items from which to choose. Like many Dim Sum places, they are moving away from the carts that come around with the food on them. Instead you will receive a large menu that you can mark with a pen. They have pictures of everything with a short description to help you decide. They also have Thai iced tea - one of my favs! The service was great, the place was clean and the food was fantastic. Can't wait to go back and check out some other delicacies. I highly recommend the Cream Buns - they are absolutely divine! Happy eating! read more

With an aspiring dim sum connoisseur in the family, this was a must while traveling through ABQ. It was tasty and on the reasonable side for dinner. Service was good. No wait on a Saturday evening. Be aware they close at 8pm. read more

Been going to Ming Dynasty for their dum sum and have been very happy doing so. The restaurant always felt a little gloomy. I went to this restaurant today for the first time and it blew me away. Great menu - ingenious way to order with magic marker - and the selection was perfect. The food was fabulous and the staff couldn't have been nicer. My go-to place for dim sum now read more

Found this spot going through a back road from the grocery store off Paseo and Wyoming and I'm sooooo glad I did! Went here twice within a week period! If you don't know what dim sum is, they are like little appetizer sized dishes if dishes such as potstickers, dumplings, sesame balls and more!! They also serve entree dishes like fried rice and chow mein (which we have yet to try). Area is small and quaint but can get busy. So far we've noticed a max of three waitresses which is manageable for the restaurant but may be a little bit slower when they do get busy. When you order they give you their menu and a dry erase marker and you just circle or however you decide to choose their food choice. Will def be back soon!! read more

There's only two dim sum places in town, that I know of. This one is by far the best one of the two. The place is smaller than I thought but it fits a good amount of people. The menu has very traditional dim sum dishes and they all were pretty good for being in Albuquerque. Some of the dishes were a bit oily and not as flavorful as other dim sum places in different states but this one can't be beat here in town. I would go back again! read more

Here's an update from my last visit. Their pork shumai still under seasoned. I gave up on it. Their pan fried chive dumpling is great. Beef rice noodle is good. What surprised me was how much I love their pork congee (porridge). It's simply amazing! Duck is good. It would be amazing if they carry Thai sweet chili sauce (one can only hope). Four stars until they season their Shumai better. read more

Honestly, pretty good. I usually give places at least 3 tries before reviewing, but since other people don't know how to give a restaurant a shot I might as well help this business out. The food was good, a solid 8/10. The baked BBQ pork bun was the star today. Delicious, bread was a hint of sweet, and the pork was soft. The soup dumplings were also amazing! I loved the flavor, and I would highly recommend. As for the shumai and shrimp noodles, they could use some work. Some more flavoring would be great. But I would order it again! I'll have a better review next time, but good job this Sunday. The wait for food was maybe 10 minutes, so ignore other reviews for now and come give it a shot! read more

IT DIMSUM - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I entered into a chorus of friendly greeting. Very friendly. The menu was very useful for someone foreign to dimsum, clear pictures show what you're in for. The restaurant is modern and very nice, but not uncomfortable. It's actually a striking balance between modern and comfortable. Ive ranked my meal, in order of favorite: Red bean paste bun - it it's my favorite because there is this small child in me always wanting dessert. I've not looked actively, but I've yet to find a restuarant that serves a red bean paste bun. Red bean paste is best described as being similar to chocolate, but if chocolate were good for you. Fried Pork meatball - very savory and the crunch on the dumpling was super satisfying Sticky rice in lotus leaf - this one threw me off, I expected a sweet sticky rice but it had pork in it. Still very good! But the smell of unwrapping the lotus leaf was divine. Mini pork bun (xiao long boa) - the broth was a little thicker than I would like, but delicious regardless. It just threw off the texture profile which generally is an explosion of broth. Extra points for being a rare offering Pot sticker - you could tell it was never frozen, the texture is softer and delicious! Egg roll - I must say, i did not enjoy. The inside was more like paste, kind of slimy. Overall this was a great experience, and I wish them a long happy business here! read more

We went to IT DIMSUM on Saturday and after giving it a few days to think it over, I'm thinking it's a pass for me. The space is lovely, very modern with beautiful light fixtures. We were one of the only parties in there but it still took a minute to greet us, which is fine. One of the first things I noticed is that it was WARM in there. This became a problem when it came time for refills. A carafe of ice water is placed on the table with cups (you serve yourself), and you are given a menu, and a dry erase marker and you indicate which plates you are interested in. There are small plates, medium plates, and large plates which range from 3-6 dollars, I think. We picked a variety of plates including the pork and chive dumplings, the stuffed bell pepper, the baked bbq pork buns and the salt and pepper calamari. The two best were the baked pork buns and the calamari. The chiu-chow dumpling was inedible as it was VERY fishy and not in a pleasant way. The fried shrimp puffs were fairly good, and we likewise did not enjoy the Chinese broccoli. The sauce that was on it was very salty and overpowering, without any other flavor besides salt. It became clear to me when looking at all of the various plates that nothing was prepared in house. All of these options (at least the ones we tried) were clearly premade. Let's be clear, they were of decent quality--but still largely frozen/mass produced. The tab was 60 bucks, which for nothing handmade, including sauces, feels like a bit of a ripoff. I could go to Ta Lin with 60 dollars and purchase several entire bags of dumplings and buns and be just as happy. The other problem was service. At no time were we checked on or offered refills. We also had to wait quite a while for our check. When food was dropped off, it was exactly that, set down without a word, and then one of the staff tried to remove a plate we were still working on. So for me, it's not a good experience or value. If I'm over on that side of town I'd consider stopping in, but for me it isn't worth the trek or the money. read more

I am glad we went the second weekend they opened. I got nervous when I saw all these bad reviews for their opening weekend. But today was a good day. Got seated right away, food came out within 10-15 mins, water came out quickly too. The restaurant was 60% full, everyone seemed happy eating their DIMSUM. Deco very modern, bathrooms clean. We ordered a bunch of food to try it out. Spicy brisket noodles: very good! My favorite! The beef was so tender, it melts in your mouth. Very good flavor too. Shrimp balls: tender shrimp and crunchy crust. Yum! Shrimp rice noodle roll: pretty good. Dumplings with pork and chives: good flavor, kids loved them! Congee: a little plain but they are not stingy with the eggs. Shumai: kinda dry. Sticky rice in lotus wrap: good but lack of fillings. Egg tarts: nice crunchy shell, the filling is a little runny, needs to be baked more? Lobo cake: too much baking soda, tasted a little bitter. Over all I was happy with my meal! Will definitely come back and try out more DIMSUM items! Ps. Check your receipts, we got charged 33% for tips automatically yesterday! I didn't even see it until now. Not sure if it's a mistake? Ps. My friend just told me they didn't get charged for tips. I guess the server forgot to split the tips. The manager later messaged me on yelp to explain too. Oh well. It's a new restaurant, they might still need some time to train their servers and figure everything out. read more

The best DimSum in Albuquerque! Not comparable to the dimsums of CA but it's getting there. My wife and I had shumai, salt and pepper shrimp, steamed pork ribs, chicken feet, sesame balls and sponge cake. Everything tastes authentic Chinese with fresh ingredients. Wait time for the food is around 15-20 minutes but not bad for the amount of food we ordered. I can tell that everything is freshly made and I like that their food is probably on a low salt range compared to most Chinese restos. The restaurant decor is modern and minimalist. The rest room is relatively clean, I'm hoping it stays that way. I went there on a week day and with my wife on a weekend and both times the staff is friendly and efficient. I like that she brought a pitcher of water without asking! We will be back! read more

Sometimes you just need to try a new place....and that new place has something that reminds you of your childhood *insert mala cake* and then your first bit of your favorite steamed bun makes you think of how you miss home..Taiwan....the night market and fresh buns. For this asian....go eat here! The DIMSUM was fresh and off the hook. Doesn't taste frozen and yes it takes a hot minute to get your food. It doesn't have the traditional trolly strolling by but so worth the wait. Fun fact: You can borrow the asian momma to speak Chinese and to make it a very authentic experience. read more

This is our first visit to this restaurant. We came for lunch. We found it to be a little larger than our expectation. The decor was different but pleasant. The seating was functional but with no cushioning, as such the chairs were hard. The reception was pleasant, and we were seated quickly. Our order was taken fast and the food arrived, not much later. The food was piping hot and all the items we ordered, were well cooked and delicious. The service was very pleasant and professional. All in all, we had a very pleasant experience and will definitely visit again. read more

I am not sure if this was an off day for them...Covid has changed a lot in the restaurant business so for that I gave them an extra star. Also, the girls at the register, at pick up were nice. The Chiu Chow was uneatable and tasted like the meat was bad (my husbands and brother both agreed), the $18.95 bbq platter was good but came with two servings of meat and soup (honestly, I think the soup was from the chicken order too). The KP chicken was nothing special at all. The presentation of the food was sloppy and plain. I regret trying these guys out and will continue going to other local places closer (and less expensive) to me. read more

This is a great place. The food is delicious and heartwarming. My family and especially my daughter loves to eat here.

I just returned here from 30+ years in Houston and was not expecting anything to be close to dim sum selections there, but I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and the options that I received that Leo my grubhub driver brought to me. Will definitely be repeating this delivery again. Taste and appearance was equally as good as my houston experiences. Thanks again. Excellent choice. read more

Great soup dumplings!! It is hard to find a soup dumpling, but this place is on par with those I have had in NY and San Francisco. read more

Food and service were excellent. Got a few of the menu items and split the chicken fried noodles. Would definitely recommend!

Let me preface with saying that Raz and I are on a quest to try every bao in Albuquerque, so this rating is entirely reflective of the takeaway bao experience. Like many other places, "bao" is not mentioned on the menu, instead there are BBQ Pork steamed buns and sweet cream buns listed. We got both of these, and an order of the Pan Fried Chive Dumplings. Not having menu explanations available, we didn't find out until we bit in that the chive dumplings were not at all the vegetarian option we were hoping for. The BBQ Pork steamed buns and sweet cream buns were precisely what I picture in my head as classic bao: soft, fluffy, slightly-sweet bread fully enclosing a portion of food and all steamed to pillowy perfection. The bao were the smallest I've encountered so far on the quest, but they also bear the lowest price and they come in 3s, so the value still holds up. The BBQ pork steamed bun is by far the sweetest I've had on my adventure, which was not a point in its flavor, but it wasn't so sweet that I wouldn't go back for another. (Rating 3/5) The chive dumplings are not bao at all, they're a bit closer to pot-stickers or other noodle-wrapped, pan-fried pastry. The pork and chive interior was decidedly tasty, but not at all the vegetarian option I was hoping for. (Rating 3/5) If we'd ordered only the sweet cream buns, this would be a 5-star review. No other restaurant in town appears to have this, so that makes it a extra genius. Basically think of a small, custard-filled doughnut, only rather than baking or frying to finish, it's steamed to fluffy, delectable perfection. (Rating 5/5) The experience was rounded out to a solid 4 stars by fast and efficient phone ordering and pick up service, all in all well worth another visit if only for dessert. read more

I am very please with the dim sum dishes. The yellow skin organic chicken was delicious.

Honestly, this kinda tasted like they bought this from the store and just heated it up. I'm not saying they did that, but it certainly tasted like that. I would give it 2 stars, but the pineapple bun was acceptable so I'll give em 3. Probably not coming back. read more

Pretty decent dim sum for Albuquerque standards. Food is ordered off a menu and comes out relatively quickly. We had: -har gow: really good, shrimp inside wasn't mushy -lotus wrapped sticky rice: not what I'm used to as it's filled w/ground pork but generous in the meat to rice ratio) -bean curd skin roll:not a fan of the fried then steam method, made the bean curd too dry, but the filling was good -"deep fried meat ball": again, not quite traditional, the outside was a little dense and missing the usual bubbly outside but generous filling again -shrimp rice noodle roll: good shrimp filling, rice noodles fell apart pretty quickly tho (maybe a little over cooked?) -baked coconut bun: not bad filling-wise, the dough was a little soft, maybe needed a few more min of baking? There was a minor hiccup with the kitchen forgetting to bring out a dish until we asked, but the servers were friendly and quick. We'd go back for a dim sum fix when it's not easy to get back to Chicago read more

I would absolutely recommend the fried shrimp (heads up- it comes with the head attached), any of the dimsums, my family is obsessed with their fried rice and I'm obsessed with their stuffed bell pepper! Pricey but worth it since it's not just delicious food- it's an experience too! read more
