Came here on a Friday morning while visiting Philadelphia to try their dim sum, and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was! We ordered the chicken lo mein (without vegetables for my nephew), diced dry spicy chicken, xiao long bao (XLB), pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao, chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings, and egg tarts. The chicken lo mein was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and flavor. The diced dry spicy chicken came with a side of rice, which balanced the bold seasoning nicely. The chicken was crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside, and the spice level was around a 5/10, which is enough to give it a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. The XLB wasn't served with julienned ginger, as some restaurants do, but the broth inside the dumplings had a subtle ginger flavor that was a pleasant surprise. The dumplings were well-seasoned and flavorful enough that they didn't even need soy sauce. The pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao (five dumplings per order) was slightly less authentic than I expected. While the flavor was spot on, the filling lacked any soup, and both the top and bottom of the bao were crispy (typically just the bottom of the dumpling is pan-seared). They ended up tasting more like well-made pan-fried dumplings than traditional Sheng Jian Baos. The chicken feet came three to an order and were tender, with a savory sauce that had a hint of sweetness. The crystal shrimp dumplings were fresh and delicate, and the egg tarts made for a great way to finish the meal with their flaky crust and creamy custard filling. The service here was excellent. Our server spoke almost perfect English, which isn't always expected at restaurants specializing in authentic dim sum. The food arrived quickly, piping hot, and they accept both cash and credit cards. The restaurant is fairly spacious, though it doesn't have the large banquet-style atmosphere you might associate with some traditional Chinese restaurants. Overall, this was an excellent dim sum experience, and I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Philadelphia. read more

Four of us ate here on a weekday evening. It is not a fancy place, but the food and service were very good. The dim sum was hit or miss. The scallion pancakes were a bit greasy but not bad. The chicken soup dumplings were good. The pork and the mushroom dumplings weren't our favorite. The three whole dishes we ordered were all really good though. To help you order, each menu item has a number, and the server puts that into an iPad. My teen was also impressed with the black and gold bathroom. read more

Ended up getting New Dim Sum Kingdom after there was too long of a wait at Tom's. This spot was actually a bit cheaper than Tom's/Dim Sum Garden and just as good. I got a six piece chicken soup dumpling and they were made perfectly. Scallion pancake which were a bit too flaky but at only 7 bucks for like 6 of them, I had no issue. Four piece crab rangoon for 7 bucks and the steamed creamy custard buns which were soooo good. The place felt a little cramped and the service was a bit slower, but it was super busy so you'll have that anywhere I guess. Overall I'll be back and was a good pivot for Dim Sum in Chinatown! read more

New business but copying previously popular dim sum garden which moved next door. This replacement is pretty interesting. Since it's new it's less people but I was just here for lunch, perhaps there may be more ppl at night. One thing I noticed is the portions are huge! The food is flavorful. Not exactly prettily plated, so pictures really won't do this place justice. Do give it a shot, it's worth it for all the food you're getting read more

New Dim Sum Kingdom - Dim Sum Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The atmosphere is what you would expect in a cozy Chinatown restaurant, everything was clean and we were greeted and seated immediately. Prices are very fair and there are a lot of options! I chose the General two chicken, scallion pancakes, and pork buns, they were SO good and fresh. The lady running around was very friendly as well and such a hard worker, we appreciated her effort and were happy to chat with her as well. Overall we had a great experience and will return! read more

The taste of the food could improve. Perhaps we ordered wrong. Soup dumplings and string beans both tasted flat.

Came to visit this location to try their soup dumplings (forgot to take a picture!) From what I understood, this location is new opening so everything is clean and open. Service was quick and efficient - our order came out fairly fast. With all of the dumplings that we tried - our eyes were bigger than our stomachs! After this visit, I've ordered Door Dash from here and the quality has been very consistent - so I'm very happy to order and/or dine in again very soon! read more

New DimSum Kingdom was a bit underwhelming overall--something I probably should've expected given the name. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and had no trouble getting a table, which was a plus. We ordered the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice, Singapore rice noodles, steamed pork soup dumplings, and sliced beef with scallion. The sticky rice was decent but a bit bland. The soup dumplings were noticeably larger than usual, which I appreciated, but the wrappers were thicker and doughier than what I'm used to, and the flavor didn't quite deliver. The Singapore noodles and beef dish were solid--nothing standout, but reliable--and it was a nice touch that the beef came with rice included, which many places charge extra for. Service was on the less attentive side, and overall there wasn't anything that really stood out as memorable. Plenty of seating to accommodate larger groups bu I'd give it 3 stars--mainly because, being in Chinatown, I expected something a bit more authentic. That said, the food is good enough and the portion-to-price ratio is fair, so I can see why others might enjoy it. read more

Went in for dinner on a hot day to try the new dim sum kingdom. Wanted to cool down a bit so ordered a taro smoothie. It was pretty standard flavor but more of a slushee instead of a smoothie. Pan fried dumplings were just okay, lacking a bit of that good fried flavor so maybe not fried long enough. Shrimp dumplings were also pretty standard. The spicy pork soup dumplings had a very tasty broth though wasn't necessarily spicy. I'll have to try their other soup dumplings or something with that tasty broth next time. Staff are quick to help order and bring food out, and refill drinks. Overall an average, straightforward spot to get a meal, thanks. read more

Very much enjoyed dinner. We shared soup dumplings, lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice, pork shumai and a wonderful chicken corn soup. All were delightful. Service was a little too attentive. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was about 1/2 full, so I think the staff had a little too much time on their hands. I would have liked slightly less attentiveness. The owner was super nice and chatted with us for a few minutes, which was a nice touch. Super affordable at about $42 all in with gratuity. read more

We stopped by for a quick Monday lunch, and the place was quiet. Since we only wanted to try the Beijing duck, we ordered a half portion. The wait was longer than expected-over 20 minutes-but the duck itself was pretty good. They also serve dim sum, but the prices seemed high compared to other spots nearby. If you're just craving duck, it's decent, but there are more budget-friendly options in the area. read more

The last time I had Dim Sum was from the highest rated place at the time in San Francisco, and the Dim Sum I had today was just as good. Dumplings, Shumai and Scallion pancakes were tasty and cooked perfectly, and the Black Salted Egg Custard Buns were freakin incredible. Service was excellent and prices are fair for how good the food is. We'll be back! read more

Delicious and fresh food. Prices were fair as was the ambience, but the dumplings are definitely worth trying. I would go back there.

This place has only been open for a few months. They got an extended food menu, including Cantonese dishes, Taiwanese dishes, and more. Went there for dim sum and wasn't disappointed. The highlight of the day was definitely the chive dumplings (fried), very juicy and flavorful. The chicken skewers were a surprise too (I just wish they came with their own sauce instead of using the dumpling sauce for everything, as it can get a little dry). Attentive staff, and I would come again. Oh! Did I mention you can get a discount by paying with cash? read more

We initially wanted something else in the area, with similar food but that place looked too chaotic. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. I believe the owner was there and he was very accommodating, as well as the staff. We ordered a variety of items and everything was flavorful, hot, juicy, and filling. Prices were very reasonable and I even received a discount for paying with cash! Highly recommend the chive dumplings, available steamed or fried. We opted for steamed and they were delicious! read more

I hate to say it but the food was completely tasteless. I was really excited to try this place out but everything we ordered was bland. The General Tso was soggy and taste like ketchup. There was no chilis in it at all. The Beef How Chow Fun had no wok hei, everything tasted like it was boiled. The meat was mushy and bland too. The spicy pork dumplings weren't spicy either. We spend over $100 on food that taste like Panda Express. Save your money. read more

We had a good time at the New Dim Sum Kingdom. We just got an order of the spicy pork soup dumplings. They were fantastic, had a ton of flavor and good amount of pork. I liked them even a little better when adding some of the chili sauce that was on the table to them. Our only complaints were they advertised them as bogo outside on a board and that didn't happen and advertised a % off your bill if paying in cash that they didn't do either. Both we didn't ask more about just enjoyed the experience and moved on but something to ask about if that's the reason why you're there. Service was friendly and the space was clean. Would get the dumplings again. read more

Ordered wonton noodle soup and I got pork over udon noodles. Very bland, no flavor. No spice.

my friend and i checked out this new dim sum place in chinatown when my usual go-to spot was closed, but we were underwhelmed. we walked in at 130-2pm on a wednesday, and the place was completely dead. the restaurant is quite large, but there was only one other customer in the entire place. the staff were friendly, but the person taking our order was clearly undertrained. he didn't know how to use the ipad and got our order wrong several times. another staff member, presumably the manager, came out to assist him. the food itself was mediocre. i was very disappointed by the pan-fried pork buns. they looked like ugly underfilled dough balls, nothing like the picture on the menu. the filling was sparse and the outer dough was too thick. the soup dumplings were decent, but the dough was also on the thicker side and several of the dumplings did not have soup. we also ordered the shrimp and pork shao mai and the chicken feet which were both decent. overall, this place was pretty mediocre and not worth the visit. plenty of better dim sum places in chinatown. read more

While this restaurant is slightly smaller than others on the same block, their food is superior! Went for dinner last night and every bite of the dim sum we ordered was great. My favorite was the shrimp shumai by far- fresh whole shrimp, so much flavor, and obviously house-made. Hubby's favorite was the pan-fried pork buns- the breading was just amazing and the filling was even better. Also notable were the mixed mushroom dumplings and the crab Rangoon. Additionally, the server was very attentive to all the tables in our section. Don't forget the custard buns for the end! read more

Not a bad place. We wanted to try something new in China Town. Food came out quickly, was pretty good and seemed legit. Had a few dumplings, spring roll and a dessert. I'd recommend giving it a try. read more

Pleasantly surprised how good this place was. Not a typical Hong Kong style dim sum menu, had more of a DinTaiFung style Shanghainese menu with a sweeter taste. I grew up eating Shanghainese food and lived in HK for much of my childhood. Hand made dumplings with great dough quality. Would definitely recommend and come back. read more

Food was so good! Service was so amazing!!!! Loved everything! Highly recommend!!!! Would never come again!

Super good some of the best dumplings I've every eaten. I had the normal and spicy pork soup dumplings and they were so good. The host was incredibly kind and informed me that I should eat them before the cool. The service was amazing and the food was super good. Btw the spicy ones come with 6 not 5 but I already ate one. read more

The restaurant sat us quickly after my friend gave a bitchy look. Literally made another table move so we could sit. Could not ask for better customer service. Food came quickly. The Diet Cokes were crisp. The food was good. If you have to choose between New DimSum Kingdom and the place next door then choose this one. NDSK cares about its customers and it shows! I left full and satisfied. read more

Same ambiance as the prior tenant here, Dim Sum Garden, had. They've moved over to 1024 Race. Meanwhile the new occupant has a similar menu. I had fried pork and vegetable dumplings, lotus leaf sticky rice, and shrimp Shu Mai. The service was friendly and helpful. Haven't sampled the soup dumplings yet - for many those were The reason to hit DSG. But so far so good. read more

We had exceptional food and superb service even on busy Mother's Day. Everything was good for the Chicken on a Stick and Scallion Pancake to great for Lotus Leaf. The Black Salted Egg Custard Bun was addictive. I had the Rice Cake with Seafood which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The Orange Beef was great.

This dimsum restaurant gave us a pleasant surprise. We were in Philly for a convention and wandered into this gem of a dim sum restaurant and were duly impressed. The dim sum dishes came out freshly cooked, piping hot, and flavorful. The soup dumplings, shrimp shumai, and pumpkin balls were outstanding. We walked out of there and couldn't wait to write them a raving review. read more

This was a great place to take the family. We ordered the chicken, pork, and spicy pork dumplings. They were all excellent. The scallion pancake was not as impressive, though--it was pretty greasy. I should have asked for more napkins to soak up the oil, but still, the flavor wasn't all that either. We asked the waiter if the wontons had shrimp in them and he replied, "No, it's only pork." Lies. As soon as my son bit into it, there was a hunk of shrimp in it--which was potentially dangerous as we asked in order to avoid FOOD ALLERGIES. So, that got tossed immediately. Other than that, I'd just stick to the soup dumplings. The beef noodle soup was tasty as well. The staff was very apologetic about the incident, we speak and understand Fukien, Cantonese, and Mandarin so we knew there was an innocent mix up in the kitchen by just listening to what they were discussing in the back. I would go again. No hard feelings. Just won't order the wontons if you have a shellfish allergy. Oh, and the crispy pumpkin dumplings were just the right about of custard sweetness after the savoriness of the main dishes! read more
