The spare ribs are delicious, the rice noodle rolls are generous with fillings and you can eat a whole shrimp in every bite, the durian pastry filling is very solid and you can taste the flesh, and the roast duck is just average, neither good nor bad, but it can satisfy your craving read more

This is your high-class dim sum restaurant, so if you're used to the typical dim sum cart experience, this is not that type of place. Prices are high, and they didn't have that many items on the menu. We ordered 3 different items: golden lava buns, xiao long bao, and ham sui gok. Nothing was out of this world, and for the high price tag, it was not worth the experience. My boyfriend liked the xiao long bao, but Wu Wei Din is cheaper and better so we'd prefer to go there instead. Customer service was lacking as well. We came on a Friday night and there were only 2 other tables besides ours, yet service was still slow. The staff seems to enjoy talking to each other instead of checking in on customers. Would not recommend it. read more

I'd say it was pretty good overall, but there are definitely some issues that warrant attention on their part if they want to be successful. I overheard one employee (maybe the manager) on the phone saying things are slow and it has been hard, which makes sense based on what I saw. It was what should have been a busy lunch day for them but my table was one of two there when we arrived, and the woman at the other table actually abandoned her water/sauces and left the restaurant before she ordered. My thinking with hot pot places is that you can either cater more to the Asian market or to the American market, but not effectively to both. I was at a different one last week that was very Asian oriented. I could not identify 90% of the items in the pot and they could tell me nothing about what sort of meat they use; they only had "beef" and "fatty beef" options for beef, but could not tell me what cut it was. It didn't taste like any beef I have ever had. There were a lot of tastes and textures I was not familiar with and didn't particularly like. That's just personal preference, not indicative of quality, but it's important to know that people who are not accustomed to those tastes and textures may not respond as well to them. That particular place, I would not return to. Chao's Beef Hotpot is much closer to the mark on catering to the American market. The menu makes sense. I know what meat I'm ordering. The ribeye looked nicely marbled. The $1 promotional beef plate was awesome. Food-wise, we were all satisfied. Where I think Chao's misses the mark is twofold: 1) Service -- The only person we interacted with in the restaurant was someone who spoke passable English but was difficult to understand. No problem at all with people speaking their own languages, but when you're having a new experience (which many American who wander into a hot pot place are), it's hard enough to understand what's going on even without a language barrier and having to strain a little to understand someone. They would benefit from having some staff who can communicate effortlessly with English-speaking clientele. There was also no explanation of how things work there and they have no literature or signage. It's like they just assume that everyone who goes in there knows what they are doing, which is not the case for most people. So I had to be the person who explained it to the other 3 people I was with. No one had any idea what all the different bowls and spoons are for or what the right etiquette is or why there was a metal thing in the pot. So many different sauces at the sauce bar: which ones mix well together or go with which foods? Pricing is my last gripe, though at this place with the promo it happens to be extremely reasonable and it's great that 4 people can share one pot, which is very economical. But I hate the idea of a la carte charges for sauces and vegetables. My favorite hot pot place in Richardson charges a fixed price per person for the stock and you have to select 1 protein so you're in for like $18/person, but you have unlimited sauces and vegetables. On an a la carte offering it seems nuts to pay $5 for a plate of cabbage or $5 for some mushrooms. And the assorted vegetables at Chao's for $8 is fine but includes a lot of stuff that was more spriggy than leafy and didn't feel like it made sense in a pot. Overall I think Chao's COULD become very successful, but they will need to work on the communication with customers and be more thoughtful about the customer experience. Remember that a lot of your target market is people who are in the surrounding offices or wandered over to the urgent care or saw it driving by and have no clue what they are doing here. Having a friendly face ready to greet them and explain how things work and help them have a good experience will go a long way. The fact that you had a customer in there just sitting there who ended up walking out before she ordered was a missed opportunity; who knows how many people she might have referred or brought back if she'd had a good experience. She may even have been a food critic or something. read more

Not your typical push cart dim sum restaurant so you miss out on that experience (peeking under the steaming lids and seeing what piques your interest in the moment). These are the items I tried and my rating out of five stars for each: Char Siu Bun - 3 Shrimp Dumpling - 4 Beef Siu Mai - 2 Truffle Shrimp Siu Mai - 3 Spareribs - 4 Chicken Feet in Abalone - 3 Chicken Feet in Oyster - 4 Ginger and Scallion Omasun - 1 Pineapple Bread - 5+ (must get!) Crispy Shrimp Balls - 5 Chicken Potstickers - 3 Turnip Cake - 1 Chinese Broccoli - 5 Salt and Pepper Tofu - 4 Indonesian Fried Rice - 4 Aw man... Just realized I ordered the Golden Chicken but didn't receive it. I need to adjust better to these inflated food prices as I think they are too expensive for dim sum. I won't come back here but I will give Tian Tian a try soon. read more

Li Min Dim Sum - Menu - Cantonese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

In summary, Li Min Dim Sum is a relatively busy establishment with impressive dishes that check the boxes for taste, texture, and detail but also tries to match how hard they hit with the bill. Definitely falls in the "average looks" in terms of establishments that I've been to for Dim Sum. I'm intrigued by the wooden "steamed boxes" they're using, so thats a positive. If you've read one of my reviews for Dim sum before, you guys know that I firmly stand by what I say about judging places' quality based on the execution of their Har gao/shrimp dumplings, and I'm proud to say that theory still holds true. Their Har Gao is slightly sticky, easy to peel from the serving plate, firm in its shape but soft and slightly gummy on the chew, and is definitely above average in terms of looks (and I am so sad and so sorry that I didn't get a picture for you guys). It's a great Har Gao and you would be missing out if you didn't get it. Solid Xiu Mai. I think service could definitely be better. They seem to be short on waiters and you'd be lucky to even find one sometimes. I hear getting an English speaking server can be an issue sometimes and I do validate what other reviewers have said on that note. If I remember correctly, I paid my bill up at the front because it was "so busy," but possibly understaffed. Bang for buck, Is it worth it? Hard maybe; I want to give it a 3.5... but definitely don't want to round up to a 4. I think if the service was really good, their price could be justified and an easy bump to a 4-star. But I could easily find myself going somewhere slightly subpar and save 30-40% of my wallet. Plus. I live in Houston, TX, so perhaps it's not a fair reference for Dallas locals, but hey, woah, chill--I said it's one of the better Dim Sum places I've eaten at. I wish I could try more of my usual favorite dishes and give a more detailed review but our scope was limited to try and accommodate a new guest in our party so I couldn't go too, too crazy. P.S. Ambiance was... fine? The tables are not too close, so conversation was easy to maintain without having to yell. Tables and booths aren't anything to fawn over, but the food looks and tastes great. Cheers from HTX. read more

We tried a new dim sum place this weekend, Tian Li Min Dim Sum, which is the sister restaurant to Tian Tian Restaurant (amazing Peking duck!). This place is a little different, it doesn't have dim sum carts walking around, and all dishes are ordered through the menu. This is good, as the dishes are freshly prepared (to the extent possible). The prices are a bit higher than usual per dish as well. We enjoyed the experience, but did not think the food was as good as our usual dim sum place (Kirin Court). A lot of the dishes lacked enough seasoning, and so we had to add more salt or chili oil. I think we may also ordered the wrong dishes. I saw a family share a large seafood soup with crab and shrimp that looked amazing, we might try that next time. Also saw some better looking dim sum dishes at neighboring tables. I think we would return for the congee and the fried shrimp balls, those were delicious. We might try some other dim sum dishes than the ones we ordered this time. Service was great and the premises itself was modern and welcoming. read more

A solid meh could be better. Had been wanting to try Li Min for a while since hearing about it since Dallas is a dim sum desert. Kirin and JS Chen hardly have competition... sad to say, I think it's still the case. Go to LA, NYC, or Houston for dimsum. \\ har gow - the wrapper held it together for a bit but then just gave way without any resistance - the filling was probably the second best thing I had \\ beef shumai - first time i've tried it with beef, not pork - the beef is a little gamey and dense and tough, and there's hardly any depth of flavor, just salt - there's a mint leaf of sorts tucked into the filling perhaps in an attempt to spice it up however it just becomes something unrecognizable - decent size, just wish it had a tender juicy filling packed with umami \\ taro puff with shrimp - massive, good puffy crispiness - a little confused--naturally sweet from the earthy taro then savory with mushroom aroma - somewhat greasy \\ sticky rice with egg yolk and sausage - this was pretty good and filling - if I somehow found myself back here, this would probably be the only thing I order again Overall, not really worth my time or money. That sort of place where dimsum is questionable and expensive! The little robots were cool... but you can see them at other local restaurants too. read more

Spareribs were greasy, gristly & fatty, not appetizing at all. Xiao long bao was ok, the skin was a bit thick. The congee was fine, nothing memorable. Service was non-existent. read more

Stopped by Li Min with a group of 14 after church on Sunday morning after hearing about it from friends and through Facebook over the past several months, and we all had a great time. We arrived around 10:45 and explained the size of our party and the staff were super accommodating! We ended up taking over three booths in the center of the restaurant. The interior was super nice, the AC was powerful, and everything was very clean. The classic dim sum experience is rowdy and raucous, aunties bustling by pushing carts piled high with tins and steamers, and I love that experience, don't get me wrong, but there's something really nice about being able to mark down everything you want and have it made to order and hand delivered directly to your table. My table of four ordered a bunch of items to try and received them all in a quick and timely manner. Standouts for me were the stir-fried turnip cake (such a different type of presentation from traditional turnip cake, but I loved the aromatics and bean sprouts, and the fact that the way it's cut up into smaller cubes gives you more of the best texture of turnip cake, which is the crispy exterior), the durian pastry (they look very homemade, but the pastry crust was wonderfully flaky and the filling was very durian flavored without being too in your face about it), the golden lava buns (perfectly gooey salted egg yolk interiors!), and the stir-fried chow fun. Steamed spare ribs with garlic were also flavorful and delicious. The pork and century egg congee portion size here is relatively small, and they don't give you a ton of century egg, but the meat quality is definitely better than usual. The shrimp dumpling and truffle shrimp shumai were solid, but you do need to season with soy sauce or vinegar for more flavor. There were some misses: the others at my table didn't care for the chicken feet in abalone sauce we ordered, saying that the flesh was curiously difficult to pull off from the bone. The swan taro puffs did not come with the swan neck sticks, as pictured. Since the place fills up pretty quickly, water service can be a little slow. Also, be aware that quite a few of the filled fried dishes (taro puffs, shrimp tofu skin rolls, haam seoi gok) include cilantro in the filling, so ask about that to be sure before you order. All in all, it was a satisfying meal, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try other things on the menu in the future! read more

My friend and I arrived around 11:15am on a Monday morning. There were 3 tables seated down already. I saw 2-3 servers just standing around looking at us standing at the counter. No one greeted us nor sat us down. We waited about 5 minutes til someone came and sat us down. I don't ever expect great service at dim sum restaurants because if you know, you know. We went here due to a recommendation. This is not your typical dim sum restaurant where there's people pushing carts around. The food came out piping hot and there's a robot cart that brings out food too. The food is mediocre. The chicken feet and spare ribs were a little bland. The soup dumplings were dried, literally NO soup. They could've cut the Chinese broccoli. On top of that a lot of stuff wasn't available, maybe because we came on a Monday. Oh well. Ambiance overall is nice but was a little stuffy. Would I come back? No not really. Food: 3/5 Service 3/5 read more

Went to Tian Tian last night with my mom & on the way inside noticed Li Min had the same logo. We tried to order soup dumplings at Tian Tian but they were sold out, so decided to see if Li Min had any after dinner. This was my mom and I's first time trying soup dumplings but I must say we were underwhelmed. I'm sure it had to do with the one we ordered, but they were much smaller than we thought they'd be & really didn't have much soup in them. The flavor was also meh, nothing unique or exquisite about it so we were kinda bummed. I will come back to try other things on their menu, because they have quite the variety of authentic cuisine, just maybe won't order their soup dumplings. read more

Dim sum was good. Seems all are made in house...which is a rarity in the States now. The service was attentive, the lady came by multiple times to refill our glasses and clear any dishes. Fo Plano, and N Texas, this is above par for Chinese restos. The interior is fresh and modern, actually thought out. As a Chinese American, I'd grown up visiting plenty of dim sum houses in Chicago, SF and NYC. This is a definite repeat: for the cleanliness, the freshness of the dishes and even the service. Only place I didn't check is the bathroom...hopefully it's similar to the restaurant decor...and clean! read more

Li Min Dim Sum - Clean and modern interior. - Cantonese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It was fun to see a new dim sum restaurant pop up in our area so we definitely wanted to try this new place out opened by the same owners of Tian Tian in the same shopping center. The decor is inviting with modern and clean styling, which is a nice departure from the typical older bustling dim sum restaurant. While the waitstaff were friendly and helpful. We ordered some of our dim sum staples including chicken feet, charsiu bao, crystal shrimp dumplings, preserved egg porridge, changfun, haam seoi gok (aka what we call "Hey Arnold's") and scallion ginger tripe. Execution of the chicken feet, tripe egg porridge and charsiu bao were on point with great seasoning and textures, while the shrimp dumpling and chanfun were lacking due to poor texture (maybe due to being over cooked or the recipe for their dough). The Hey Arnold was too dry and hard on the outside and the filling was a bit too sweet. So how was the bangforbuck-o-meter? They had nice chopsticks, high quality paper napkins, as well as nice Tian Tian branded wooden box steamers, so all of this added expense seems to have been priced into their menu items. I'm thinking each dish is $1-2 over priced compared to the quantity given (especially with the chicken feet). I hope they work out their growing pains and continue to improve their execution and pricing. read more

Service can be slow... we had to wave down the waitress multiple times to get simple items including the soy sauce dish and spoons. The dishes on the other hand were decently good. Our favorite were the pork ribs. Dim sum could have been better. Lot of the dishes had light seasoning so we needed a lot of the Chinese vinegar and soy sauce. A great stop for dim sum and authentic Chinese dishes! read more

Environment - Nice and clean Dumplings - Skin is too thick so the texture tasted like you are eating a glob of jelly. Also, all of the dumplings were pretty bland. I hate salty food and I can even take up eating steam vegetables without any salt so when I say it's bland, you can imagine how bland this is. Chicken Feet and Tripes- Good enough Fun Roll- Not bad, but compare to Guangzhou or Hong Kong it's a long way to go but considering that this is Dallas, it's pretty decent Haam Seoi Gok- Texture is too dry and hard but flavor was gold enough. Sticky Rice - Good ingredients they even added fry scallops but the flavor is a bit bland. Egg Custard- It was good but not great or anything standing out. Overall, food wasn't bad but definitely mediocre and nothing stands out much from the other dim sum places around here other than the added unique items like black truffle and scallops. read more

Great dim sum, nice presentation, large portions. Open for dinner, too. We ordered way too much, but it all was very good. At 10am on Saturday it was pretty quiet, but started filling up as we were leaving at 11. Menu system, no rolling carts, which meant I had to look up the dishes to figure out what to order. Beyond bao, Har gow and shu mai I'm pretty lost. The menu says they don't use MSG and I didn't have the headache I often get after dim sum, so I may be inclined to believe it.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Price: $$ We came here for a Saturday lunch at 11:30am. It was a bit busy, but the wait time to be seated was zero. The inside was clean, and the design was more modern. It had been awhile since we've eaten dimsum, so we were excited to try all kinds of dishes. These are the ones we tried: * Chicken feet in abalone sauce (4/5) * Chives and fresh prawns cheung fun (4/5) * Signature shrimp dumpling (3/5) * Chicken feet in oyster sauce (1/5) * Abalone siu mai (2/5) * Truffle shrimp siu mai (1/5) * Seaweed squid cake (1.5/5) * Golden lava buns (5/5) The food tended to be more oily than preferred. The only dishes that stood out to me were the shrimp cheung fun and golden lava buns. The shrimp was so plump and juicy; although, the steamed rice rolls were also glistening in oil. The golden lava buns were AMAZING. We ordered 3 plates of them! A nice level of sweetness and the inside was just gooey enough. The servers were nice and attentive but pretty disorganized. 2 servers would check on us at the same time. I guess it's still better than having none. Overall, I don't think I would go again unless for a large gathering. read more

Food - The Crispy Shrimp Balls and the Egg Tarts were excellent. The signature Shrimp dumplings and Chicken pot Stickers were just okay. They seemed like they needed a sauce or something to add a bit more flavor. I will come back for the first two items I mentioned. Ambiance - They have a robot waiter which is always fun. The ambiance is fine, we have come to this same location for the prior two restaurants and it has not changed much - clean, bright and comfortable. Service - Our waitress did not speak English, so she could not make recommendations, so I googled and found a few recommended items. read more

I highly recommend their chicken feet, egg tarts, tofu skin + pork, and tripe! I also love their congee and lava buns. Service isn't the best, but that's fine with us. We come solely for the food. This isn't your typical push cart restaurant, but they do have robots that serve your plates! I highly recommend. read more

Li Min Dim Sum - Some of what I had to eat today. - Cantonese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

At first, we loved this place - we were excited to have finally found a good dim sum place, but this last time we went, there was absolutely no service. There was no greeting from the employees at all when we walked in. We had to sit ourselves and waited almost 20 mins before having to call over a waitress to even get drinks. We ordered our food, no one repeated the order back to us to make sure we got the right food. We ordered the steamed spare ribs. When the order came, the waitress put the food down and naturally, we started to eat the food. Then the waitress came back, and without saying anything, just picked up the plate of spare ribs and took it to another table for them to eat!! Absolutely ridiculous. I had to go over to the table to tell them what happened so they could get a new plate. All in all, horrendous service and apparently disgusting health protocols. If anyone is part of the Health Department, please go and check this place out - so disgusting and disappointing. read more

Only come if you're prepared to wait... you need a minimum of two hours just to get seated, receive waters and order. The table next to us waited 40 minutes for water alone. If they were busy, I'd understand but the restaurant was about 70% empty... only 7 tables, 4 staff on floor and 5 in kitchen yet it was unbelievable how unorganized and slow it was. It's hard to imagine why it was such a wait when this isn't their first establishment with Tian Tian a few doors down. It's almost inexcusable. Clean, empty tables throughout yet to get seated as 2 it took more than 30 minutes. Food is mediocre and overpriced... $7 for basic har gow?! We're in Dallas. Nothing spectacular. For the price you're paying, you'd think it'd be better service or incredible tasting meal. Poor service and mediocre food. Save yourself and go elsewhere. Maybe they'll get better down the line but for now, pass and go to the other Dallas dim sum restaurants. read more

I'd give 1 negative star if allowed. The restaurant's management is a freaking sh*t show - waiting 15 minutes for servers to come and ask "what would you like to drink?" On the top of that, the kitchen seems to be on fire, with smoke filling the dining area out of a sudden. Customers are nervous, and no one even comes out and explains anything. Seriously? There are kids eating there!!! Ain't no serious people in this business would treat customers in such an ignorant way. I finally leave after wasting 25 minutes there and being exposed to fire.

LiMIN DimSum food quality is ao so so Authentic, they are all Super-Dclicious, I have been to over 100 places for DISUM, in HongKong, Bejin, ShanfHai, Trường An, Taiwan, Chicago, NY... this place, not only food is great, price is very reasonable, and Services is wonderful, Tables are clean, in and out of the dining room is greatly maintained. It does not have a DimSum ambiance like a typical DimSum place where waiting-staff push their cart around... that's the only downside of this place....

Dim sum is not served via the carts here. Instead, you mark what you want on a menu. I thought that because everything is delivered as they are ordered that the dishes would come out fresh. However, that was not always the case. The fried taro balls and pork buns came out at room temperature. The soup dumplings are salty. My favorite dish is Chinese broccoli. Overall, everything is underwhelming and I probably won't return. read more

Went to Li Min Dimsum today. Everything, the steamed dishes were fresh and tasty. The cheong fan shrimp was ok. The fried stuffs, while it was good, I tasted better somewhere else. Overall, good place, pretty good selection. Out waitress was awesome, very helpful and attentive. The durian pastry need more filling though.. too heavy on the pastry and overcooked. Shumai with abalone and the one with truffle were delicious, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Ha kao (spelling?) was ok, the one with bunny shape oh so cute . Lo mai kai, again I am not sure how to spell it, but it was good. The filling is legit. The shrimp with tofu skin wrap was crunchy on the outside, not greasy which was good. However it was tough to bite. Too much / too thick of the tofu skin wrap making it hard to eat them. Grouper congee, while I like the congee texture and consistency , it has no taste whatsoever. Bao with salted yolk, tender and fluffy buns. Runny yolk, I was expecting a more creamy filling. But you can definitely taste the salted yolk. Chicken feet looks firm and big. It was tender. We were there from 11:30 thru 2:30 and came out happy. read more

Great food, noticeably better than Kirin Court in Richardson. It's not economy priced, but given the quality, it's well within reason. Honestly, reading all the other reviews here made me very worried about what it'd be like, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Nice interior, very clean. Wait staff were not at the level of a place like Al Biernat's, but the service was good enough that I didn't have to go out of my way at any part of the meal. Good enough for me. We did visit during a lull, so it might be different in the middle of a rush. The quality of the ingredients was a noticeable step up from most dim sum places I've been to. Portion sizes were large. If you're a fan of dim sum, this place is well worth a visit. read more

Tldr: Tastes at a baseline good level, with prices about on par for the area. Personally, would come back if I was in the area, but would rather go to a traditional dim sum place with better portions and pricing. My friend and I were craving dim sum (and not just dumplings like they sell in the DFW area). After a lot of digging we found this place in the north Dallas area. So, it's not a cart dim sum place. It's a nice woody interior with people walking around with steamed dim sum in wood boxes. You can view the kitchen area at the back. It gave me a more modern Asian dim sum feel. Here's our agreed review on the dishes we ordered: - shrimp dumpling: the best on the table. The shrimp filling paired nicely with the soft, sticky mochi wrapping (unlike the usually regular rice dumpling wrappings) - chives with shrimp cheung fun: my personal second favorite dish - simple with soft rice wrapping around some shrimp - xiao long bao: nothing too special - just your basic xiao long bao - char siu bun: probably our least favorite dish. It was just some pork filling in a basic white bread bun. - jasmine tea to pair nicely with everything and serve as a palate cleanser. Was a little disappointed that it was just hot water with a cheap looking tea bag, but the tea did it's job read more

Food and service has always been good. The food is with high quality meat. Always satisfied with the taste of things.

They started out with above average quality dim sum. I went there three times. Quality of dim sum drops every time I went. The skin of shrimp dumpling become very thick. The other dimsum were very salty. Lately they have other stir fry dishes as well. I tried their seafood porridge . Very think consistency and a little pricey. Not to my liking. Went back to kirin court for dimsum. There are no better one so far and quality is average but consistent. read more
