Dim Sum King Seafood Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
The dim sum cart experience is one that really disappeared over the pandemic and in a post-covid world, a lot of places never brought it back. Dim Sum King Seafood is one of the few places I know of that still has people walking around with delicious dim sum wheeled around for you to pick and choose. The food was hot and tasty and the service great. The washrooms could use a little more TLC though
2pm dim sum lunch on a weekday :) Food was great and the service was very friendly. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor but it has an elevator right by the main entrance so my folks were very happy about that. Oh and the price was very decent so we'll come back soon.
One of my favorite spots for dim sum in China Town. Dishes are reasonably priced and made well. My favorite is their Cheung fan and squid. Staff is always really friendly and accommodating. Love the decor as it takes me back to the classic Chinese restaurants of the 90s and early 00s. They have a huge menu so there's definitely something for everyone. Highly recommend!
Suprising to know that there's a huge space a few floors up at this place...guess I hardly look up while walking around the Spadina area. I think Dim Sum King beats Rosewood Dimsum that's a few doors down. Bigger portion, decent price, good taste too...and you dont have to subject yourself to AYCE that makes you overeat.... Eat at your own pace, chill, relax and have a good talk while you're here. This review is during the Tax holiday of 2024/25 so all the more enjoyable eating without wondering about how much tax to pay
Met up with some friends for dim sum. They have the traditional push cart with a various dim sum dishes. If you do not want to wait for the push cart to arrive, can take your check and go up to the push cart and ask for the dish that you want. Weekend this place can get packed. Week days not so crowded, don't expect your favorite dim sum dish to be available. Service was good. For people that have not experience dim sum, they do have a menu with the photo and name of the dish.
I can believe in have never been to this place before. It's quite big, large tables and the dimsum was extra good and generous, the manager came in chatted with us a bit too, all in all food and service it is surely on the top of my dim sum list and will absolutely be back !
Very good place for dim sum, prices are great, service is good, always checking in and answering question, I came with a large group of friends and we all had a great time!
Excellent! Huge portions, a lot of variety, very good taste and quality. The place is very big and beautiful and incredibly decorated. The service is very prompt and professional. One of the best dim sum places in town.
