ChiAm Restaurant

Finally managed to try this place but we were disappointed. The two stars are for the cleanliness and the friendly staff. The food ranged from «okay» to sad. A dim sum restaurant with only one dim sum, available in four different meats. They were out of beef, pork and shrimp were boring, and the chicken was disgusting. They’re large, at least. I thought the long-​life noodles were okay, but hubby’s entrees were boring, tough & chewy. It doesn’t matter how organic it is if it’s badly cooked or kept out in warming trays for too long. I might return for noodles some day, but nothing else.
Post visit note: NOW they’ve added more Dim Sum, I’m sure I’ll want to try them because I love dim sum but I’m sure it’ll be quite a while before I do. I need my memory of this visit to dim more.

This place is big, open and clean, and have three tvs, so you can watch news or sports while eating. Customer service is great and they have those soda machine with 100 flavored drinks. But overpriced for what it is. A 2entree plate is $ 14.99. But on a good note on game day they do a special of buy a 2 entrée plate get one free, on game day. This place is not a real dim sum place, reminds me more like Panda Express. My husband and I grabed 2 plates, and 2 drinks. Came out to $ 42.99. My husband was so disappointed. The only item they carry that’s like a real dim sum restaurant is the 4 options of Sui Mai. Pork, chicken, beef, shrimp. And 4 for $ 5 for Sui Mai is really good, Shrimp is my favorite.

ChiAm. On craig and Jones. Drove by mutiple times couldn’t wait to try. Wow just like Panda Express nothing to be excited about just allot more money, and food was cold. Tried and denied won’t be back!

This place is really clean, it’s a nice enviornment, staff is nice and I like that it’s not far from where I live. I’m not an expert on Dim Sum but I enjoyed my meal. My boyfriend and I got a mix and match tray of 10 pieces for 12 bucks and some life long noodles. We both enjoyed it very much. Great place to pick up and go!

TL;DR: Sui mai does not a dim sum restaurant make.
Lured in my the words «dim sum» on the exterior building, I knew I was in trouble when I walked in to the cafeteria-​style setup. I looked at the menu, and the only thing in the dim sum category is sui mai (four types). The sides/​apps section included a Pacific Shrimp Ball.
Majority of offerings are premade, sitting-​under-​a-​heat-​lamp, exposed-​to-​the-​air offerings you can find at any Chinese fast-​food joint. They claim to use higher-​quality, organic ingredients but if you’re going to serve it this way, it doesn’t matter. At 7PM there were no customers, so the freshness of the food was questionable.
The items I sampled were average if not slightly below. Sui mai were huge, golf-​ball-​sized items, which helped to justify the ~$ 1.30 charge per piece. Shrimp items were fresh, juicy, and nicely shrimpy. Pork and chicken (?) sui mai did not stand out. I’m not fully convinced these aren’t out of a freezer and just freshly prepared.

While this is not a bad place to eat it’s really not a dim sum restaurant. They have some dumplings but it’s basically a nicer more modern version of your corner Chinese food take out place. I’m not sure I’ll go back but it was worth trying at least once.

There was an article in our local paper that said this was a fast casual Chines and Dim Sum Restaurant. I guess that is true if you consider the dim sum 4 choices of siu mai with different meats. The chicken corn soup was the best thing we had. They do offer organic choices which is what drew me to this place but those dishes are $ 3 more and I wonder how they work that out when it comes to cooking (in the same woks? with the same utensils?). Granted they had smaller portions that they served from so I would think that they would be fresher as they would have to cook them more often but many items looked like they had been sitting there for a while. Basically it is just a glorified version of Panda Express.

Their customer service is excellent and friendly. The place is super clean and nicely designed as well. Very reasonably priced. I can see myself coming back often. You have to check out the soda machine. It’s amazing too.

This is a new, contemporary Asian eatery tucked away in the corner of the Lowes shopping plaza, between Starbucks and Great Links. Cute, fresh décor,. They’ve only been open 5 weeks and probably need to work out a few things. I was expecting a good variety of dim sum, since that’s what their sign indicated, but there was only 4 type of siu mai – shrimp, pork, beef, and chicken, plus pacific shrimp ball. There were also standard Chinese entrees in steam trays. We ordered all varieties of the siu mai $ 1.98 each with hot oil and mustard sauces and the hot sour soup. (The cashier was helpful and friendly and gave us a 10% discount.) These were generously sized dumplings, okay flavor. The soup could be a bit more savory. I really want them to succeed because it would be nice to have a good dim sum place nearby, so I hope they change up their menu to differentiate from other Chinese food places by maybe adding steamed and baked char siu bao, along with other popular dim sum that will appeal to a good cross section of people.

Unbelievably disappointing. My first thought is: why have «dim sum» in the name when the offering is so scant? Serving 4 different kinds of shumai hardly qualifies. I LOVE dim sum so I was excited when I heard a place opened nearby my home, so you must understand my disappointment.
This is a Panda Express knock-​off! Their sales pitch of serving supposed organic food may be the only thing going for them. For me, considering all things equal, go to Panda Express because they’re their meals are better priced (I can’t believe I just said that). Lucky for you, you still have a choice. I, on the other hand, was not so fortunate. My daughter and I were hungry so we settled.
The café is clean, tastefully decorated, plays upbeat music, and pleasant staff hence the extra star.
If I’m to describe my overall experience with 3 words, it’s: «not ever returning.»

My only complaint is that this place isn’t closer to my house/​work. Yes, you’ll pay a little more than other places in town, but the food is obviously higher quality… No mystery meat like at other Chinese places. It’s worth it to me to pay a little more to know what I’m eating.
Also, the staff is really friendly. I’ve never walked into a fast food restaurant and been greeted so warmly. I’m glad they’ll be opening more locations around town.

Great fresh food!!! Tin Sing’s was a favorite of mine when I lived in Cali, because it feature amazing dishes and egg rolls big as a cucumbers:). I am particular because Panda Express is the only option for fast Chinese American food.
Everything is prepared fresh in this place. The front end ladies are very personable. I had the Pacific Shrimp Ball. Great signature dish. Never had a shrimp ball. Yummy, yummy — it was hot and light. The shrimp was fresh and the coating crunchy enough to give the perfect balance. I also ordered the vegetable roll, crispy and light outer shell that allowed you to actually taste the delicious filling inside. Yum!!!
I am a foodie!!! I also ordered the shrimp vegetables and spare ribs for the entrée. Light not greasy. Clean and freshly ptepared. The staff was very accomadating. I am glad they opened in that shopping center and I will return.
Best of luck, to you!!!

Really nice clean establishment with a friendly staff! They serve organic which is why the prices are on the high side. I was craving dim sum and was let down at how small of a selection they had. I was impressed at how nice staff was. The Pacific Shrimp Roll was perfect, tasted great!

It’s new so it’s clean. Friendly employees. I got 2 of each shumai (chicken, pork/​shrimp, and beef). All were good and fresh except the beef. It had a funky taste. Also got the pacific shrimp ball which was good. Only gave 3 stars because of «dim sum» selection and price was a little on the high side.
They said they’ll be getting more of a dim sum selection…
Note* I’ll go back for a quick snack

I am totally confused about this place. Went to this place to get some dimsum and all they have are shumai’s (chicken, shrimp, beef & pork). No varieties whatsoever to be called a dimsum place. The shumai that I tried are dry and does not have the best of taste. I guess back to Chinatown for me. Not going back to this place coz I just wasted my money.

I have been eyeing this place for a while now and I finally got to try it!
First of all, the staff was super friendly and provided EXCELLENT customer service. Their food was just amazing and waaaay better than I expected. The food may be a bit pricey, but I didn’t mind, because they serve high quality food and give really good portions! Plus, they have ORGANIC selections, and organic food is never cheap!
My favorite was the KungFu Chicken Wings and Tiger Walnut Shrimp. Their shrimp and wings were pretty huge, I was so full by the end of my meal! I would also recommend trying their fresh dim sum!
I can already tell ChiAm is going to be a successful business. I hope they will open more locations in the near future! I really enjoyed my visit and I will definitely come back soon!

Horrible. Serving shumai does not make a restaurant a dim sum place. This is a terrible copy of Panda Express. Tried the teriyaki chicken and walnut shrimp. 3 pieces of shrimp and 4 pieces of chicken and rice for 12 bucks. If it was good then maybe. Yuck

I am not sure what to make of ChiAm. They seem to have an identity crisis with the dim sum as part of it’s brand name. I was hoping for a good quality dim sum place opening up in North Las Vegas, but I was highly disappointed with the selections of dim sum. The few varieties of shumai, which were okay and nothing to rave about. The other dishes were really salty and blend. The food was also really expensive for what they offered compare to Panda Express and other Chinese restaurants.

Well I waited a month for this place to open. Some how 4 wings and 2 pieces of dimsum with some noddles cost me 20 $. I explained to them I had ordered the side of noddles 3.99 the appetizer 298 pick two (chicken wing and spring roll) and two peiece of dim sum 188 each. 10 bucks is what I come up to 12 with my drink. but it was 18.99.
It was bad. It really isn’t a dimsum place. I had to throw away my meal after a couple of bites. The staff was very nice and pleasant.
I went to jack in the box and got two tacos and a plain hamburger because I was starving. cost 2.14.
really bummed wanted it to be good so bad.

Had an amazing dining experience! The food is fantastic! Can’t believe how healthy everything is!!! Really top notch service too! I’ll be back
