I'm glad I did not read the reviews from my trusted sources and Yelp friends before I went, otherwise, I might not have gone. But for me, this was some of the better dim sum I've had recently. Yes, you're in a grocery store lobby, so to speak, and yes, there's not much atmosphere other than the people streaming by going into that grocery store, but the three items I ordered (black bean ribs, har gow, shu mai) were all solid. I'll be back. read more

Joy Dim Sum 佳悦点心 - My big three - Dim Sum Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

There was a time that Joy Dim Sum was a go-to spot for the Sugar Land dim sum scene. What it lacked from the larger, traditional banquet hall vibe, it made up for in lack of pretension and lots of focus on the quality of the food and service. Sadly, it seems like those days are long gone as the latter is on a downhill slope. Has ownership changed? (#1) I'm not sure, but so much else has. There's no tea offered, but bottled water. Service and the kitchen staff is a mess where it's most evident during their busiest hours. At one point, Cantonese was spoken but it also seems that's no longer the case. Previously the food was passable, but now it's near abysmal. Siu mai was hearty, but fairly bland. The same applies to their spare ribs (排骨), beef balls (牛肉球), and steamed glutinous rice in leaf (糯米雞). I felt their custard buns (奶黃包), fried stuffed crab claw (釀蟹鉗), fried glutinous dumpling (鹹水角) and the turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) were dried out. While the shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and rice rolls (腸粉) mostly passed the test, it needed lots of soy sauce + condiments to be worth it. The only winner was their beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), where the beef and ho fun noodles were tender, while also being adequately greasy. The bonus bits of fried egg within were a nice surprise. While the prices range from $3.75-$9.70, a majority of it will average out to be $5-6 a dish. This isn't a terrible deal per se, especially during these times. However, it is a big price to pay for service issues and sub-par quality dim sum. While I'm hopeful that they'll rebound and I hope the Joy returns, but I don't think I will. __________ (#1) FZ / FJ peeps, where ya at? read more

This has been my go to spot for years for dim sum. They do dine in or take out. If I do take out, I call them ahead of time if I do take out and it's ready within 30-40 minutes. It's nice that it's inside Jusgo because you can walk around and shop while waiting. If you pay cash, you get a 5% discount. It's always lively inside when I go and the staff are kind. The siu mai and ha gow are plump and juicy and the noodles are fresh. You can also order things frozen to bring home and reheat when you're ready. read more

Great hole in the wall Dim Sum spot! I am so glad I found this place from Yelp. You wouldn't think such a delicious restaurant would be tucked inside of a supermarket. I ordered many of the classic Dim Sum options, and I was so impressed with the quality! The siu mai was packed with pork and so flavorful. The har gow was full of tasty shrimp. The rice noodle rolls were light and airy. Overall, I had a great experience at Joy Dim Sum! The food was great, and the prices were much lower compared to traditional spots. The service was also very quick and efficient. I will definitely give their take-out options a try in the future. read more

I usually get take out from here when I also need to go grocery shopping nearby. The food is still yummy by the time I get home. I enjoy the shrimp rolls and chicken feet. They had pretty good prices for dim sum and the workers are quick with the orders. There isn't much seating inside which is why I mainly order to go. read more

A little disappointed with in the meal and service. Started with lukewarm "hot" tea and went downhill. Sticky rice was as always good, but steamed beef balls were also lukewarm. Bird nest fried shrimp were warm inside and cold outside. Meal was a little expensive at $18.24 so will have to consider the cost before going back. read more

This place is in the food court in 99 ranch! We tried the steamed shrimp rice noodle ($6), shrimp shumai ($6), steamed creamy custard bun ($5), turnip cake ($5), and glutinous rice dumplings ($5). The steamed shrimp rice noodle was delicious! The rice noodle was perfectly chewy and bouncy in texture. The shrimp was flavorful. I loved the custard bun. Slightly sweet and the outer bun was so soft! I was surprised with the glutinous rice dumplings! It had a fried outer filling but was mochi. The meat filling was also really yummy! There are about 8 tables of 4! You order on a menu sheet and bring it to the front. I appreciate how the menu has English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Service was fast and friendly! Items started coming out after 10 minutes. The tables are clean. read more

This is a tiny little place in the mall but it has big flavors. You order dim sim off the menu and it's brought out piping hot from the kitchen. The food is fantastic and it reminds me of of the little places in Vancouver. We liked it and we will be back. read more

Discovered this gem recently. Dim sim is on point. Great place for quick bite if you aren't looking for the fungs kitchen flair.

Small dim sum restaurant located beside Jusgo that serves yummy food. The thinness of the skin on the dim sums were perfect. Meat to skin wrapping was proportionate too. I highly recommend the custard egg yolk buns. Eat them while they are warm. The saltiness and liquidity filling was perfect. The noodle dishes were so-so. Nothing spectacular. There is limited seating for dine-in. You can eat first and pay later. read more

I placed an order online for pick up ASAP, I arrived 30 minutes later. I paid and my order was not ready. I had to wait an additional 30 mins to receive my order. On top of that when I arrived home, one of the item I ordered was missing! Moral of the story, double check your order! Unhappy with the service I received today. :((( read more

On a cold winter afternoon. My friends and I decided to try Joy Dim Sum. We started out with hot tea then went down the menu picking things to try. Not knowing what we ordered we just went down the menu picking things we thought looked good. We weren't disappointed, what we selected was hot and delicious. Many looked liked the things I ate before in Hong Kong. This will be on our list to return. My friends and never tried dim sum and were surprised how delicious the items I selected. Once again I picked a winner thanks to Yelps suggestion. read more

The store is super small, but the foods are really good. The foods came out pretty quick, super fresh, and really well seasoned. We ordered the steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed shrimp siu mai, steamed pork ribs, steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf, steamed mixed meat dumplings, bird nest fried shrimp ball, steamed dried shrimp rice noodle, and supreme soy sauce fried noodles. All of the dishes were super tasty. We loved everything except for the steamed mixed meat dumplings which had nuts and cilantro inside. My absolute favorites were the bird nest fried shrimp balls, steamed shrimp dumplings and the sticky rice in lotus leaf (probably the best I've had out of all the dim sum places I've tried so far). If it wasn't for the small store with extremely limited seating, we would come back more often. read more

Yelp, let me give this place 3.5 stars!!! I really like this place and I want to give it four and there's always chance for redemption, BUT given how much I paid and the location it's in, I should've at least been given more decent customer service Starting with the food, the pork siu mai and steamed chicken buns were AMAZING. Truly, delivering on high quality flavor, very juicy, and getting these two and layering it with chilli oil is such a fantastic idea bc you get a good blend of savory and sweet with a spicy coating (drooooool) Now let's get to the complaints, there's no free water here. They only do water bottles. Given the location and competition with restaurants in the mall, it's not a fast food shop or food truck and it's not boding well with them to not offer water. I wanted a table but they said no tables available but I saw them making accommodations to others asking for a table. Granted, I did ask for one after paying and they caught me a table while I was waiting for food, but when I asked the owner at first she only threw her hands up in resignation and said there were none available rather than trying to make it work, like she did with others. read more

Recently I was bringing dim sum to my mom and grandma and this was the closest place to my house. I had walked past it many times but figured what better time to try them than today. They mainly focus on to go as their dining room is pretty small. I called in my order and showed up about 20 minutes later and it was packed nicely with chopsticks and chili oil. All of the items were delicious. My favorite were the shrimp dishes as they use large shrimp. Next time I need to go dim sum I will be calling them again! read more

Tiny food shop located at the entrance to Jusgo, a very large Chinese grocery store. My wife n I tried 4 dishes on our first visit: steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf, stir-fried beef rice noodles, taro dumplings and steamed shrimp dumplings. All were good. The steamed sticky rice was so good, we ordered another to take home. Considering the limited seating and their substantial take out business, service was friendly and pretty fast. We will visit Joy Dim Sun again soon. Well done read more

Best place to get Dim Sum in Sugar Land! The store is located in the Jusgo Super market, the second stall on the left. I always order to go because of their limited seating. I believe there are about 5-6 tables so it is difficult to go with a larger party. Make sure to order in advanced on the phone as they do get very busy and are a popular new staple for the people in the community. My go to is always the Har gao and the pork siu mai. The skin on the har gao is always perfect, Ive noticed that some places tend to either over steam or under steam the dumpling making the skin dry out but Joy is great about getting the steam just right. The Siu mai is super juicy and flavorful. The other items I got (pictured) are also great options! read more

Great dim sum local with the classics. All well prepared and served quickly. Notables - shrimp siu mai, sticky rice and beef balls were particularly tasty. Will be back for sure read more

Wanted to try this place out because of the great reviews. Took my dad here for his birthday. The restaurant is located inside Jusgo and has very limited seating. The ordering process is very easy you take a menu and an order form from the front and mark what you want. Once you finished marking what you want you take it back to the counter to place your order. Our food came out fairly quickly. Certain dim sum item portions are smaller than other dim sum restaurants, such as the chicken feet. My dad said the stew beef stripe mix in casserole was missing different meats compared to other dim sum restaurant. We also ordered the beef and shrimp rice rolls, they don't give a lot of the sweet soy sauce with the rice rolls and the rice rolls weren't as thin as I am use too. You get a 5% discount if you pay in cash! read more

No soup noodles or wonton soup. Dry dimsum only with tea or water. Dimsum is ok, fried beef and rice straps is average. Can not compete read more

Ordered the Stir Fry Beef Rice Noodle. Where is the meat?! No beef at all, only egg. When I opened the box, it smelled amazing and had wonderful color. However, the taste disappointed. It needed way more seasoning and was quite bland. This is the second time I have tried this dish and the result is the same. Adding soy sauce alone didn't help much. Going to have to season this on my own pan now. read more

Service isn't all that great and dim sum isn't it for me. Only thing enticing about this place is the pricing. If you pay in cash you get 5% off. read more

They are my favorite place to go for dim sum cravings! Their dim sums are better than dumpling world! Love love them!

So delicious and so fresh! Perfect spot to pick up some dim sum to take home to family and enjoy. The service was quick, efficient and kind. Plenty of parking in a big lot since it's in the front part of a market/grocery store. Highly recommend the siu mai and har gow. read more

Place an order on Mother's Day luncheon at home. Called around 10:10am. You can hear there busy in the background (remind you they open at 10:00am). I was put on hold for awhile. So I decided to hang up and called back 5 mins but the line was busy as I was already heading to the location. I told the cashier lady. I was put on hold and tried to called back but the line was busy. She apologies and said there were busy since they open. She was very nice. I totally understand her situation. She did the best she could as she is the only person in the front. The location is inside the Jusgo shopping center but right outside on the Jusgo grocery store. It's a small cafe, not a lot of seating. Not made for big parties but more for small group is ok. I placed the order. The food came out like 15 - 20 mins. The dim sum food was delicious. It was not a heavy feeling after finish my meal. Definitely planning to order in the near future. read more

I always got dim sum in Chinatown but I was in Sugar Land and decided to give this place a try. It's located inside the Jusgo Supermarket next to Mama Wu Taiwanese restaurant. I only had a few dim sum since I also ordered from another restaurant. I picked up my order 15 minutes after placing it. The flavor of chicken feet was ok but the quantity was so little. The shrimp rice roll was not bad. There were a small sharp object in my glutinous rice dumpling. I called the store and the manager or owner said no one has complained this since they opened 3 years ago but they couldn't identify what it was. It was an overall an ok experience. read more

Our go to spot in SL for dim sum. They open at 10 and the place gets packed quickly. The food comes out fresh but takes a little while. The restaurant itself only has a few tables and it's crammed but worth it. Definitely recommend! read more

Joy Dim Sum 佳悦点心 - All this for about $20 - Dim Sum Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

Solid spot for casual dim sum. Don't expect the full cart or even hot tea experience - there's no room for it. Family-run and a little concerning with all the little kids coming in/out of the kitchen. Otherwise, friendly staff and authentic dim sum option without having to leave Sugar Land. Would come again. read more

Good place, inexpensive, and tasty traditional dim sum. Service was good. They are busy on weekends.

My favorite dim sum place. They're quick, food is simply delicious, portions are just right and they get it right every time.

I love getting dim sum here but it is unfortunate that there aren't that many spots to sit in, especially for bigger groups. But that also brings the benefit of always getting it fresh/piping hot which is major for me. The menu itself isn't as big as some places are but it has the basics that I really enjoy so when I'm craving dim sum, it always hits the spot! I love their steamed rice noodles (esp shrimp), custard egg yolk buns, bird nest shrimp, and gotta order xiu mai of course. If possible, I always also order the steamed pork ribs and football (glutinous rice dumplings) but I can't eat much lol. My parents love the steamed beef ball here and claim it's the best they've had in Houston in all these years. I hope this place continues to get enough support but hopefully they'll also get help so they won't be overwhelmed! I love that my faves here are all good (occasionally would order the custard/bbq pork buns or pan fried turnip cake too). Also, just a note that you would have to buy bottled water if you want to drink water in case you want to bring your own bottle. read more

Locate inside of Jusgo. A few small tables. The staffs are friendly. I did Togo order and within 10-15 the food was ready for pick up. Everything I got was good, and the most outstanding was the chicken feet. It was flavorful and and perfectly cook. I hope they will eventually add Chinese broccoli to their menu. Overall, a solid dim sum restaurant and will be my goto for dim sum since it's so close by. read more

Joy Dim Sum 佳悦点心 - Shu mai, hac cao, bird nest shrimps, chicken feet, steam shrimp noodles, running egg yolk buns. - Dim Sum Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

My family and I have ordered takeout from this spot several times. Joy Dim Sum is actually located inside Jusgo grocery store. It does take some time for our order to be ready. So, I'd recommend calling ahead time to avoid waiting too long. If you opt to eat in, just know the restaurant itself is small and quite limited in seating. We've tried several of their dim sum items. My favorites have got to be the pork siu mai, beef meatballs, and taro cake. My sister in law really likes their har gow. Specifically, their pork siu mai is the best dim sum item I've had because you can taste the chopped pork and the aromatic mushrooms inside. If I was really needing a dim sum fix, the pork siu mai is where it's at. Come check them out. read more

We came to this place for dim sum inside the Jusgo market, but it's still currently serving takeout orders only so we ordered through the QR code. It was really easy and you get 5% off your order for paying in cash. Our order wait time was only 10 minutes, so we just shopped around and got some snacks. By the time we came back, our order was all ready and it was so quick and easy. We ordered shu mai, har gow, the beef wrapped in rice noodles, fried taro, chicken feet, and shrimp wrapped in rice noodles. It was all sooo good. One of the best dim sum we've had. Highly recommend the shu mai. It's so fresh, flavorful, and moist. The chicken feet was huge!! It definitely fulfilled my cravings. The beef rice noodle roll was so flavorful too. Loved the seasoning and the onions inside. The shrimps were very fresh and generously sized. We would definitely come back for our dim sum cravings. This place does have required mask wearing so don't forget your mask if you decide to stop by! read more

The most surprising find for me is this togo Dim Sum place inside of Jusgo Sugar Land. We were going to try a Chinese Noodle Place nearby, but they appeared to be slow and shorthanded. The Cantonese in me wanted to give this place a try, especially when I want to avoid fried, grilled, and "yit hei" food. There are only limited tables and seats, and soon after we got seated, people were fighting to get a table. A family left because the guy couldn't get w bigger table for his family of 3... We didn't wait long for the food to arrive. I didn't really expect to find such tasty Dim Sum, especially for a mainly takeout place, but I was pleasantly surprised by everything we ordered. The Har Gow, Xiu Mai, and Cha Siu Bao, the Holy Trinity of Dim Sun are all excellent. After an underwhelming visit to a Katy spot a few weeks ago, Joy Dim Sum restores my faith in quality Dim Sum at reasonable prices. I will definitely come back again to this unassuming place for Dim Sum, a hidden gem inside of a supermarket. read more

Place is in a grocery store, small, not much choices. Dim Sum dishes were OK, but the stir-fry, beef with rice noodle was bad.

Some really solid dim sum. Pretty divey, next to the grocery store, but has all the faves. This was maybe the best har gow I've ever had. Excellent flavor, not stuffed with fillers just lots of shrimp, thickness of dumpling was perfect and stayed together. I was completely jazzed about the tofu skin and it was a bit of a let down, very oily and too soft. Everything else was great! read more

Picked up dim sum from here while I was in the area. The dim sum here tasted really fresh and well made. They put a lot of meat into each dish so they definitely do not skimp out here. There is no dine in right now so to go orders only. I noticed that they do have a online ordering system as well so would be a good idea to order ahead of time. read more
