Take Sun was the best Dim Sum in London. Their Cantonese dishes were superb. Connie & Peter decided…read moreto retire pursuant to COVID & the road construction ergo, the restaurant is now closed. We moved to BC 20 years ago and prior to that were frequent customers for 25 years. The city never paid any attention to the businesses while approving the extensive road construction. Since our recent return we see London is a city in utter DECAY and will never return to its original form. Downtown Dundas street is diseased so no one wants to go there. Forget about new Dim Sum restaurants opening as that will NEVER happen. We are sorry to come back to garbage dump. We wish Connie & Peter the best & a long life is retirement. Imagine,,, Kitchener has 4 Dim Sum restaurants.

Best Dim Sum in London (Hong ping coming in at second place). The reason why this place takes over…read moreHong Ping is because they offer all day Dim Sum. They are also always very consistent with the quality of Dim Sum they offer and affordable pricing. The other places usually sacrifice one for the other but Tak Sun checks off all the boxes for perfect Dim Sum. *Recommendations* Things to order but not limited to: chive kaw, shrimp har kaw, tak sun special bun. Other Dim Sum regulars: bbq pork bun, spare ribs, pork siu mai etc. *Atmosphere* It's got an old Chinese restaurant feel to it. Decor definitely has a 90s feel to it and I don't mind it at all because for those that grew up going to Chinese restaurants with this type of decor can associate it with many good memories. *conclusion* If you are looking for quality Dim Sum in London, look no further this is your spot. If you've had Dim Sum in Toronto or the GTA, this place would be the equivalent to those places but cheaper. As for the regular menu I cannot say much as I've not had enough on it to make an adequate review. From what I have eatin though (like the Cantonese style sweet & sour pork) it's amazing. A follow up review will be made regarding the regular menu. Oh ya the service is awesome, if you get the lady she is really funny and recommends dishes that are tasty. The young man is helpful as well if you get him, they are both fantastic at explaining the dishes. I've attached the Dim Sum menu*

Came here for dim sum with the fam. Service was typical of a Chinese dim sum restaurant especially…read morewith how busy it was in there. The food was actually really good, I'd say the best dim sum I've had in kw (though I haven't yet tried king tin so I will have to try it next), but not very special (I better leave these visits for when I'm craving and can't make it to toronto). The reason I couldn't give them more than three stars is because some of the food items were not as expected (calamari was body, battered, and fried as opposed to large seasoned tentacles, turnip cake was too doughy, chicken feet was too soft at the bone), they charge for tea and hot sauce, and they are missing a lot of what I'd consider dim sum essentials. I always need mustard with my dim sum. That wasabi/horseradish/Dijon flavour is one of the things I look forward to when I go for dim sum. This was a huge disappointment. They were also missing deep fried taro balls with pork (oh well, the spring rolls will have to do and they were actually quite tasty), and the preserved egg congee. All in all, food was authentic but I'm still searching for better in kw

Here's what we got: * sliced pork and vegetable soup * braised bean curd with vegetables * peking duck * (my favorite) * Braised Beef with Ginger and Onion * Cantonese style ginger lobster * Shrimp Mango Sautée Dimsum: * Siu Mai w/ Minced Pork * Pot Stickers * Shrimp Noodle Roll Service was excellent! Our server was friendly and enthusiastic as she brought dish after dish, never leaving us short of tea or napkins. She even gave us extra dessert as my father and I really liked it. There's a handful of parking spots outside, not much though. Great for family and friends, lots of seating inside. Good for groups of 2-8. This is one of the most affordable Chinese restaurants I've found, it's super affordable and for 7 people, our bill came to about $250.

Not one time did anyone answer my call so I never bothered to go there. Buy the way, the first reviews were written in 2018 - who knows what has changed over 8 years. By the way, since TAK SUN closed, there is not one DIM SUM restaurant in London, Ontario. Uncle Sing on Adelaide is a joke & Congee Chan on Wonderland Rd. North hs very good food but their DIM SUM is very mediocre at best and the selection is limited.

We ordered from Macau because we had ordered from there before and they seemed like a safe bet. However... When we got our order we were eating our soups and apps before the mains when my wife asked "What is this?" after cutting open her spring roll to add sauce. What she proceeded to pull out of the roll were four long, thin, pieces of plastic. Ok. We called the restaurant to complain only to be told the manager wouldn't be in for half an hour and would we call back. So we moved on to the mains. The only thing not overcooked was the rice. The chicken was overdone and the noodles were crispy/overdone/burnt. When I called back I was told the manager was not only not in, she would be off for the next two days. I told them that unless I was contacted this evening, I would be contacting the Middlesex Health Unit. Eventually, maybe an hour later, the manager called. As to the plastic, it was a 'mistake' and for the rest 'the noodles are always crispy'. Long story short, not only was I told that I would not be refunded my money or given a credit in kind but that the only thing they would offer me was Dinner for Two. Yeah good luck with that.

Really good Sunday dim sum spot in the KW area. I'd recommend going around 10:30am-11:30am, as…read moreservice seemed to slow a bit after noon where more people are likely to come. Sam's had a good amount of seating, clean and well maintained - great for large family, friend groups but also a decent amount of 2-4 seater tables as well. Selection of dim sum was just enough, covering the basics from egg tarts, har-gow, shumai, turnip cakes, cheung fun rice rolls, congee and much more. Ordering style wasn't the regular cart format, as the restaurant size runs more on the smaller side. But we were provided a pen and paper with the dim sum selection where we were able to fill out what quantities we wanted. Service was friendly, average wait time for food to arrive and the food overall was delicious. Big fan of the congee and egg tarts were probably the best ones I've ever had! The cheung fun rice roll dishes are usually my favourite, though the shrimp one seemed a bit mediocre than most I've had. +1 for offering a tofu cheung fun dish, as I've never seen that before and honestly liked it a lot more than the shrimp. Overall a great spot to come back to whenever I'm in the area with family, a bit farther from the UW and main student campuses, but worth the drive if you have access to a car :)

Love the shrimp & leek dumplings, probably my favourite! So glad they offer dim sum staples like har gow & siu mai!

We always get veggie spring rolls, the items mentioned above & the pan fried pork dumplings. Also ordered the chicken won ton soup which is also delicious. The service is very accommodating, bring us everything we request. The restaurant is clean, as are the bathrooms. We really enjoy the dim sum and will definitely be back for more!!

(15 mins) Everyone who eat was happy with the food and like others here did note that there was not alot of meat in the dishes but the taste was good.
