(Note: if you only want smaller serving of their great, thick noodles, order $4 add-on as a side in place of rice with regular dish.) I always have leftovers to enjoy at home. Dumpling orders are large and shareable. (Always 6 or 8 pieces.) My fave when dining in is amazingly delicious and huge Fish Fillet in Hot and Sour Cabbage Broth. (That's best with rice side to help absorb broth.) So good and healthful to balance the dough density of whatever dumplings you might also order -- they're all great. When getting order to go (or delivered) I like Kung Pao Chicken; it travels well. Order added green veggie dish for sharing -- I lean toward Chinese Broccoli; you'll really want the balance with the delicious dumpling and noodle dishes. Large cocktail menu -- Lychee Martini is so refreshing. Important: cash only for dining in. There's an ATM by their front door. Takeout and delivery accepts credit cards. Most reasonably priced parking nearby (if you don't score a limited street spot) is ParkAmerica at 1040 Race St a few doors down. In fact, it was one of the valet guys in that garage who recommended Dim Sum Garden when I was seeking great Chinese option. (Thank you, Ceasar!)

I just get a feeling that the focus is on pushing alcoholic drinks rather than on the food. The pork buns felt like they were previously frozen and were very sweet. Shrimp dumplings tasted off. Service was never the star but it wasn't so dismissive either. Just a very bad experience and while I won't go back, I also don't want to rate them 1 star as that would be unfair. Their food now is no better than the next guy and that's disappointing. Cash only btw. I write this because they do not post signs and a couple tables had to go grab cash from their ATM machine.

Both dishes were good and came with rice. I appreciated that each meal had a nice balance of meat and vegetables, and the portions were satisfying. I ordered takeout, and my food was ready fairly quickly. I've also had their dim sum in the past, and I thought it was pretty decent. My main criticism is that the service can be a bit hit or miss. During my most recent visit, the person working at the front came across as a little rude. Since I ordered takeout, I didn't leave a tip, and after I declined the tip prompt, I felt like I got a bit of a side-eye when my food was handed to me. The interaction wasn't particularly friendly, which left a less-than-great final impression.

On the second visit, I got the duck noodle soup and the beef stir fried noodles to go. I don't do a lot of takeout normally, but they did such a nice job packaging both my to go orders on the different days. I didn't think to take pictures of the to go orders, unfortunately; there was a piece of cardboard on the bottom so your food wouldn't slosh around, along with a side of chili oil. In terms of the food, everything was fantastic! It really comes down to your personal preferences and what sounds 'good' to you that day. Yes, it can get busy. They are very efficient and these meals were well worth any wait!

I do prefer the shrimp to be more plump & flavorful, & my favorite ones tend to have sauces other than soy to drizzle on. My trio of items were a steal at barely $20. Nom Wah is an excellent pick for quality dim sum at rock-bottom prices. I arrived early to a mostly-empty restaurant which allowed their staff to be extra attentive. The waiter described what sauces & dishes he was placing on my table, & the waitress offered to fill my water bottle before I left, as it was a 90° day. A lovely first impression!

The sticky rice in leaf had a good consistency although small with minimal ingredients. The shrimp dumplings are a staple but maybe too much flour which made the outer layer too doughy and chewy. The pork dumplings are good although smaller and tasted more like the frozen variety. Service was slow although there was only one waitress for the several tables. She did fill my water but I had to ask. And seemed to be somewhat frugal when I asked for extra napkins and only received ONE?!? She did come back later and gave me one additional napkin without being prompted. The biggest advantage for this place is it offered shrimp rolls but there are many other options available nearby.

I had read they opened back in the 80's and duck was good. So had to try it. Got the $83 duck special for two plus onion pancake. Onion pancake needed a little salt but was hot and crispy and greasy. Won ton noodle soup took me back to the memories of Oakland Chinatown days when I was kid, very nostalgic. Peking duck had good flavor but skin could have been a tad crispier. Duck with green beans and duck fried rice was solid. I appreciate that they let me go 1/2 steamed buns vs pancake as the texture in experience is different, in a good way (IYKYK). Service was excellent, food came quickly and restrooms clean. Def recommend!

Service is via a button to be pushed to call wait staff but we kept forgetting to push the button and tried to summon them with that weird face you do when you need more water. Blank stares. I don't blame them, bet they were thinking,"push the darn button people". There are so many restaurants in Chinatown to choose from, and many of them are fabulous little gems. We won't be needing to stop here again.

They also have a lot of bento/to go boxes ready to go including Zhongzi ( sticky rice), 糯米雞 (sticky rice chicken), duck wings and more. They make their own soy milk- and where else can you get a very filling breakfast for less than $10? With all of these rice roll shops opening up, I'm reminded of places like this that just hit home. No fuss, no frills, good solid authentic cooking- and so quick! I even cheated on my no pork diet but I hadn't had crispy roast pig in over 15 years and I just couldn't resist. It's perfect cooked, crispy outside, well seasoned and juicy inside over rice and greens for $10 - what's not to like ? Sure, some might be turned off by the hanging meat in the windows - but this is how you know it's the real deal. Also they open at 8am when the rest of Chinatown is dead. I highly recommend checking out M kee for solid authentic canto food . For those who care - the lady at the register is very kind , and her English is very good and also speaks mandarin

The XLB has a decent skin ranging in thickness with a ton of broth from collagen and pork fat. I would even guess that almost half of it is pork fat. Personally, I would prefer more collagen than I can eat more but this will definitely fill you up quick. The fried buns are also nice and juicy, but prepared for that grease coming out. Service is quick and space is small. Be ready to dine and dash as people will be ready to take your seat during peak. The space is small be prepared to wait. The best value for quality. Cant be missed.

Thank you to the local Yelp reviews on this gem!…read more It's located in the Kam Man Supermarket plaza. I drive by here daily and never knew this local small mom and pop restaurant existed. The place is very busy on weekends so I'll recommend coming early or off hours - no during lunch or dinner times. My hubby and I visited on a Sunday around 1:30pm and there's a 10 minute wait for a table. The place is small so many orders are placed to go's. We placed our orders and the food came out pretty quick considering the number of people ordering from that small kitchen. Food is delicious. I love the soup dumplings and the beef and scallion wrap. The noodles were a bit spicy so if spicy isn't your thing, don't order it or tell the staff to inform the chef to not add the spice. Overall, we love the food and will be coming back to try other dishes.
