    Sesame Chicken
    Art C.

    Food should have been better For dinner I ordered their Sesame Chicken. It looked pale and some of the batter inside wasn't fully cooked. This Cantonese inspired dish used a brown or dark sauce so it wasn't sweet, which did catch me by surprise. That's on me, the menu, at least the one posted online, made that clear. I didn't find the sauce to carry much flavor, so I'm still rating the dish low. I liked the place, it has an old Chinese restaurant feel to it, from the staff to the layout to the paper placemats showing the Chinese zodiac. They brought crunchy noodles with duck sauce to get us started while we waited for our food. This is a locally owned and operated business.

    Mongolian Tofu.

With that being said, the hour-and-ten minute drive from Lutz was well worth the effort to eat the Dim Sum King (plus we made a day out of it). For starters, Dim Sum King excelled in all the categories of variety, quality, and freshness. Dim Sum King's dim sum is ordered from the menu - you mark the number of the respective dim sum plate that you wish to order on a dry-erase menu placard and receive the food as they are made. While different than the push-cart ordering which gives you more of an eyes-on confirmation of the actual dishes and a nostalgic-traditional dim-sum brunch vibe, the menu ordering offers a different approach. Ordering from the menu potentially means that each plate is cooked right and not sitting in the steaming cart which may result in overcooked food or sogginess. So the food does come out fresh here! When it comes to variety, Dim Sum King has most of the usual suspects - har gow, shui mai, chicken feet, short ribs, tripe, lo bak go (turnip cake), shrimp/beef/veggie cheung fun (rice noodle rolls), and sticky rice. Additionally, they carry other fanciful dim sum dishes such as zhaliang (fried Chinese donut rice noodle roll), crispy shrimp toast and stuffed eggplant. Simple and great dim sum menu! The quality is arguably the best I've had in a while. Each dish was made and cooked to perfection. Specific call outs to the crispy shrimp toast and beef cheung fun - these were amazing in both flavor and textures. Our friends told us that the place usually has a line. Perhaps it was right after the holidays, but they were seated promptly around 12pm when they arrived. The restaurant has two large round banquet tables that seat approximately 10, with smaller set-ups of booths and table between. Definitely one of the best dim sum spots in this region of Florida!

    The BEST Chinese food in Sarasota!…read more We've been coming to Sarasota and ordering from here for many years, and it has never disappointed. This time we ordered: - sweet & sour chicken lunch - tofu lo mein (we actually ordered chicken and they gave us tofu but it was just as good - chicken mei fun - egg drop/wonton soup - egg rolls The sweet and sour chicken was good, much like anywhere. The fried rice that came with it also basic level good. The tofu lo mein was really good! It's one of our favorite lo meins anywhere, and the surprise tofu instead of chicken was actually a great substitute, especially since we probably would never order that ourselves. The chicken mei fun was absolutely hands down the best we've ever had. It tasted like a thin version of linguine with clam sauce and our 2 year old was obsessed! The egg drop and wonton soup was also some of the best we've had. We ordered a large and it came with no fewer than 6 wontons! My 4 year old ate it for 3 meals. The egg rolls were also very tasty and easily some of the best I've had too. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect, very little searing, no one else in the restaurant, and specifically set up for takeout. The lady answering the phones and fulfilling orders was helpful and the food was ready in the 15-20 minutes promised. I'm genuinely shocked that this place doesn't have better reviews with how good everything was and I hope people see my review so they don't miss out on a great and reliable Chinese food place!
