Beware - super ghetto. Fortunately the food is pretty good. Things to try:ma po tofu, salt and pepper squid, black beans clams, and the lobster. The rice could be better quality, along with the crysantymum tea...I think I had bugs in mine the last time. But the food is tasty enough to come back.

Ooh, where was this place all this while? I started going to this place for their dim sum lunch on weekends, because I like to have dim sum, especially when served on carts being pushed around the floor. I really enjoy their pork and shrimp dumplings, and the sauteed garlic beans are awesome too, though they don't always have them.Last week, for the first time we went here for dinner. Wow, it's like a whole other world in the evenings. While the place is jam-packed for weekend brunch with a wait almost always, for dinner they are always hardly filled. When we got there, only two other tables were occupied. The head chef came over and started talking to us about the menu and soon we were having a conversation about how everyone makes hotpot differently. It was a very insightful conversation. He told us what ingredients go in the chili oil that they have (there are 10 different things in there, btw). He was extremely friendly and enthusiastic, and patiently answered all of our questions.My boyfriend ordered the orange beef, I had the Eight Treasure Hotpot and our friend had the vegetarian Ho Fun. I think the Ho Fun was my favorite (yes, he let me try some). However, my hotpot was delicious too, as was my boyfriend's orange beef. Btw, when I say hotpot, I don't mean food that's cooked at the table in front of us. Their hotpot is basically a soupy medley of veggies, meat and tons of flavor, brought to the table in a really really hot pot. Also, let me warn you about their serving sizes... They are LARGE. The hotpot lasted me three meals including the in-house dinner. My boyfriend finished his orange beef, but that's because he dined on it without the rice so we had a big bowl of rice to take home, and our friend had some ho fun left over too.The prices are amazing... This dinner cost less than what our lunch there costs, although we do seem to lose track of how much we are ordering when there's all this mouth-watering food being pushed around us. I can't wait to go here again, although next time I know what I'm getting. One huge order of Ho Fun, baby... And all to myself!PS: Their pan fried noodles are delicious too.

Weekend mornings, legit Dim Sum!Really enjoy the food here each time I come for Dim Sum on the weekends.When there's loads of Chinese people each time I come here, you certainly get the feeling that you're enjoying some authentic food.Be prepared to not know what everything is! Not that I've had food I didn't enjoy, and they are always willing to try and help you understand.Can definitely keep this under budget, and with all the small size choices rolling around you won't leave dissapointed.

Leave it to Charlotte to have a dim sum restaurant NAMED Dim Sum Chinese Restaurant. Only natives understand the complex simplicity of this concept. This is one of two restaurants that serve dim sum in all of Charlotte. Thus, market strategy = all discreetness voided.Despite the lack of creativity in the name and competition, the dim sum here is pretty good and actually better than the places I've tried in Atlanta. The dishes are flavorful and the food authentic. My favorites are the fried taro balls and stuffed eggplants.Sundays are when they push the carts around. I recommend coming early (12pm or earlier) so you'll have dibs on "the good stuff." They always run out of my favorites early. Plus, that's when the food is hot and fresh!

Since they don't have much competition in the Dim Sum category, I thought they could get away with crappy food but actually this place is pretty decent.The menu items are standard across all dim sum places - I usually base my judgement of dim sum places on their chicken feet, spare ribs, haw gow, and siu mai. All these items were about right. One particular item of note is the fried taro/shrimp patty. The shrimp paste patty is battered with shredded taro and fried. Crispy, shrimpy and tasty.One thing that I wouldn't order again is the roast pork - barely any flavor and not roasted enough.The dearth of decent Chinese food in Charlotte has left my standards pretty low. It's pricer than what dim sum should normally be, but again, they can get away with that and it's solid food so I'm willing to pay it.

This is on,y the second time that I have had dim sum in my life ever so it's had for me to gauge the authenticity. I can say that we were served warm plates of tasty stuff.Came here hungry with a coupla buddies of mine and left completely comatosed. It's been a week or so since I went so I dont' have a good recollection.Sorry. Too bad--Yelp! is more for me anyways :/dmo out

Driving back to Atlanta from RTP with Colleagues from Asia and they really wanted Chinese.These guy feed me like a king when I am on their turf so the pressure was on. PF Chang was not really what they needed so I hit yelp and one of the other guys pulled Trip Advisor and he found this place.We ordered 5 Dim Sum dishes, all stuff that couldn't have been bought frozen. All great.Ordered Singapore Curried Noodles and a crazy large serving of Seafood Hor Fun. Both where fantastic. Also had a couple simple veg dishes that where Wok'd just right.The place is not very appealing from the street. When you get inside it is very old school Chinese and pretty dated but I like it that way. The d'core was just like most of the places we eat in in South China and South East Asia.My friends loved the food and especially the authenticity. They liked having "real" food for breakfast too. Like I said the Hor Fun was really big!!!!!If you want a fancy setting go to PF Chang. If you want really authentic and high quality Dim Sum and Cantonese Chinese, this is the place.It is in my GPS now for my next trip to RTP.

Food: Lots of dim sum favorites like cheung fan, lo mai gai, har gau, siu maiDecor: Low ceiling, uneven flooring, cluttered feel.Service: Lots of staff to help make the right choices, score the right dishes, and clean up after. Friendly and wager to help.

We love Dim Sum because it's not your typical greasy take out Chinese food. You can get an authentic meal for a good price. You MUST try the Black Bean Clams. Best item on the menu.?

Okay so I spent eight (8) years in Sydney, Australia. Am married to an Asian and had "dim sum" almost every weekend. There is a very large population of Chinese in Sydney (they too have a Chinatown like San Francisco and NY). ...?

This is the very best ethnic food that Charlotte has to offer. Reminds me of the great Dim Sum restaurants in NY's China town. Most of the customers are Chinese and make these meals a family affair The staff keeps bringing new dishes on ...?

We drove all the way from south Charlotte to try what we were told is the best dim sum in town. We were disappointed with the really limited selection. We figured since it was a Saturday afternoon (1pm) it would be the height of dim sum ...?
