Dimdimsum Dim Sum Specialty Store

The place is great with a long history of critic reviews and publications. (Newsweek 101 best places to eat, trip advisor, etc). However service is mediocre and we received 2 extra dishes (likely meant for the table next to us) that we didn’t realise we’re not ours until after we were half way done with them. I would give it 4 stars if the service was a little better. But will continue to return here and will re-​review accordingly.

The beer was cheap, and we survieved the experince. That’s the only good things I’m able to say about this place. The room was to tiny, we had to share a table with a random couple, and I didn’t have space to pass the guy to go to the restroom. The food was not good and all, and they have very few vegeterian dished. The vegeterian rice roll thing was awful, I could actually not eat it!

Delicious and cheap! Arrived at 10am and got the last table. It gets busy fast especially closer to lunch time. They do have another level of seating upstairs. They have English menus if you ask. Everything we ordered was super good and we eat dim sum regularly. They make suggestions on the menu as a «must try.»
Bathrooms aren’t the cleanest and there is only one toilet per gender with a shared sink. Try not to use it if you can.
Closest MTR station is Causeway Bay.

Great place to get your dim sum cravings any time of the day. Tasty and flavoursome. Try it and you will not regret it

One of my tests for any restaurant is my reaction when the check comes — at Dimdimsum I am consistently full, happy and thinking «That was all it cost?!» All of your favorite dim sum standards are here; the har gaw and char siu bao are particularly good. And, of course, the «piggy» custard buns are frickin’ adorable even if they are a little sweet for my taste. It’s a great place to grab a bite on a weekend afternoon. It’s also a fun place to bring visiting out-​of-​towners, as it is really «accessible» dim sum for those who may not have tried it in the past.
Of all the dim sum options in the city, this is one that we keep coming back to because of its great value, tasty food and (for us) really convenient location.

I’ve eaten here several times and it’s always been delicious. Once I caught the special $ 10 dollar menu, which was amazing. A friend and I tried 9 of the 10 things between the two of us! Crispy fried wontons, lo bak go, ha gao, siu mai, deep fried shrimp dumplings, steamed cheung fun, teriyaki eggplant, and more. It was all tasty. We drank beer too and were so stuffed!
Returning for the regularly priced menu is less exciting from a financial standpoint, but still an incredibly good deal. Things tend to be priced around $ 20 per dish, so three people can eat their fill for $ 60-​ish, per person.
Other delicious standouts, aside from the teriyaki eggplant, are crispy rice rolls, stuffed peppers, and stuffed bean curd wraps. The glutinous rice in lotus leaf, chiu chow dumplings, preserved egg congee, and bbq pork buns are good too, though not standouts to me.
Service is average. So is décor. One annoying thing is that they charge for tea, but with a meal so well-​priced, who’s complaining? (Well me, a little, but hey…)
Definitely worth trying once. For me, worth coming back to.

Dimdimsum is a newer chain that got prominence quickly in the past couple years. I think someone saw the popularity of Tim Ho Wan and thought, hey we can do that too! Thus a new casual dim sum chain is born.
The tables here are diner-​casual, but not suited for big groups. 4 – 6 people is probably the most you should attempt. The dim sum came rather fast and piping hot, and the quality is good for the price you pay. Service is nonexistent but is it really a surprise at this point?
They do have tourist menus, as the waiter gave one to the mister as soon as we sat down. But we didn’t need one because there’s me, the local who tagged along, just ordering all my usuals. However, if you don’t know Cantonese, and are just trying to find a casual dim sum place to sit at, this will work out for you.

Don’t bother with this place. The dim sum is OK… If you never have had dim sum before, I make it better from a frozen packet!
The manager in this place called my friend a bad name in Chinese when we asked for a drink thinking 2 whites guys won’t understand. Well yes we do speak Chinese and he was told in the middle of the place in a screaming match he was a arsehole!
Not worthy of the best 101 places to eat in the world they have plastered all over their windows.
Do your self a favour and go else where.

Nothing like your regular dim sum big restaurants in Hong Kong. It seems like these small dim sum shops with the fast food «cha chan teng» style are getting more popular. I’m not really a hip or trendy person, but practical, so if the food is good, I don’t care if it’s hip or not. I listened to my friend who has a good taste for food and came here to check it out. The dim sum quality varied. Some were outstanding, some were good, others were just average.
MUST TRY: stuffed eggplant and the dim sum of the shop —- Chicken and fish maw!!! It’s what the Cantonese call «cotton chicken».
Check out my photo. I have never seen a piece of fish maw THAT BIG in a dim sum. I let my mom try it and she’s like where the hell did you buy this? Get more for me and your dad next time! So the other day I went to buy take-​out and I placed 3 orders of the same dim sum so no one needs to fight, haha.
The stuffed eggplant was excellent! It was addicting I tell ya.
If the restaurant looks crowded when you walk in, don’t sweat, cos they have extra seating upstairs! I didn’t even see the stairs until the hostess showed me… You know how tiny places are in HK… The attic seating (I am serious) seems a bit claustrophobic to me, but it’s HK so you don’t really have a choice. Service was half and half. One guy was slow and rude, the ladies seemed courteous and efficient.
If you like chicken with fish maw, this is probably one of the best places in the whole city!
