    Calamari - would have preferred a more traditional dipping sauce in addition to the one provided.
    Mikey J.

    Had reservations for a late lunch on Mother's Day. It's much bigger on the inside than you'd expect with 2 floors and some outdoor seating. All is very nicely decorated and a great use of an old space. Service was good. Food comes out as it's ready, so some items may trickle out, or you may get multiple things at once. As for the menu, don't expect "traditional" dim sum. The majority of items are more of an Asian fusion, with multiple influences. We had a couple of the bao choices, a couple different dumplings, the calamari and the scallion pancakes. Everything was good, so better than others, which was mostly due to individual tastes. The chicken curry soup dumplings were a nice take on soup dumplings, with a heavy curry flavor. The scallion pancakes were good, but I'm not sure the spicy cream sauce and chili flakes were necessarily needed, or improved the dish. The pork belly bao was my favorite, but each person in our party had a different favorite dish. Overall a good experience in a unique location. If I'm looking for dim sum though, I'll probably stick to one of the more traditional locations for that. Coming back for Happy Hour sounds like a good idea for a future visit.

    Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings

    Went to check out And Dim Sum since it was recommended to me by a friend and I have mixed reviews. I sat at the bar and the staff were nice. They checked up on me often however it could've just been when I went, but they seemed busy and were a little flustered forgetting a couple things when serving me which is fine considering. I decided to get a drink and ordered The Zen Blossom which wasn't a bad drink It just wasn't for me personally. I think it has a weird aftertaste but I definitely see its appeal. Afterwards, I ordered some food to go and ordered the lemongrass chicken dumplings which was honestly really good. I love the vibe of the place, the ambience looks so nice and is a good spot to go if you're looking for some dumplings in a nice setting. I plan on giving this place another visit hopefully when it's not as busy to try some other things out but this is definitely a solid spot.

    Great find that I don't understand why it's not rated higher. The only issues I had were parking - not their fault, but either get lucky with street parking or a pay lot a block or two away. Other issue was restrooms are upstairs, which could be a problem for some. The food, though, was excellent! Perhaps some of the best dim sum I've found in the area...and I have looked! A special note: from opening until 6:00PM on weekdays they offer 2-for-one dumplings; a great excuse to eat more than you probably should - at least we did! We took advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the following dumplings: cumin lamb, pork & black truffle Xiao Long Bao, Lemongrass Chicken, and Quessaburria. We also had pork belly bao and hot & numbing calamari. Looking around, we weren't the only ones enjoying themselves to excess, as several tables were piled high with dishes as the diners looked ready to explode. Skylar, our waitress, was friendly and attentive. She was very helpful, pointing out some options and getting extras for us immediately, such as black vinegar and ginger for the soup dumplings. She also pointed out that they offer an all-you-can-eat dumpling special on Sundays for $25pp, which seems quite reasonable given their quality. Will definitely be returning!

    TLDR: has decent food, but you're paying for the aesthetic. Go for happy hour. I've been to ADS twice now and tried a variety of things. Service is always great, the atmosphere is cool, but the food is pretty average. The beef dumplings were just ok as there's not much flavor but chicken, pork, and soup dumplings were pretty good. The ADS Old fashioned was delicious! The scallion pancake is decent but it's a small portion size (if you're used to the ones at Asian restaurants). They have a pretty good happy hour and weekly deals, so definitely try to do your rounds then.

    Pork belly bao
    Madison W.

    We came in right at open and had some of the best modern dim sum ever! HIGHLY recommend the crab rangoon nachos and pork belly bao - and I'm a vegetarian! We also enjoyed the Flu Fighter tea, bok choy, and mushroom and tofu dumplings. 10/10 food! The service was kind and fast. We loved the ambiance and games available. We'll certainly be back next time we're in Richmond!

    The food was entirely too salty and the flavors were pretty mid. We ordered the lo mein and it was so salty I felt like my lip was falling off. We sent it back. When we received our second dish it was a long wait as well. Also our lo mein came out before our apps which I thought was strange. And when the second dish came out it tasted NOTHING like the original one. It was missing ALL the flavor. I could have gotten better flavor at the Chinese food spot honestly. Diego was an amazing waiter tho. He made my experience. Such a sweetie. The place is super cute tho. My favorite color is pink so I was super excited to try it but I'm sad at how disappointing it was.

    Brittany J.

    And Dim Sum was such a vibe--super aesthetically pleasing with great service. Perfect spot for a cute moment with the girlies. The drinks were solid and the food was delicious. Definitely worth the visit!

    "Scallion pancakes"
    Lexi J.

    I wanted to love this place so bad but the only thing o loved was the decor and ambiance. It was so pretty and picture ready! The food was so disappointing!!! I had the skirt steak w/ veggies and rice..... the skirt steak would've been delicious with some seasoning or a sauce. It lacked flavor so bad! The veggies were over cooked and mushy, and the rice was just that.... Plain, white rice. The mushroom dumplings were the same, mushy and flavorless. The scallion pancakes were more like a pita cut up and deep fried. The margarita was the best part of my meal. It was very refreshing. Our waiter was great and attentive.

    I dropped in with a friend during Happy Hour. They have an EXCELLENT Happy Hour menu. I got the calamari, $1 beef dumplings (3) and a sake. Everything was delicious. Keep in mind, dim sum is small plates. So three dumplings isn't much, but paired with the nice sized calamari was plenty for me. The sake was also a generous portion. Enough to share. And it was mild. Love how they redecorated the old Max's space. Bravo to the designer, who made it Asian inspired, colorful and fun without falling into the tacky trap. Super cool aesthetic. My only gripe is how I felt like our server was rushing us to finish. She checked on us way too often and too soon. It didn't feel like not knowing any better. It felt like hinting for us to get out when it wasn't particularly crowded. We clearly were talking a bunch and didn't particularly want or need to keep being interrupted. That said. I'll be back! And probably order the exact same thing.

    Pride drink menu
    Janique O.

    I didn't get to try any of the food but the drinks were the stars of the show. Also they had $2 Jell-O shots. Both were on their pride month menu. I left with a good buzz. The bartender was super nice and attentive. I really like the aesthetic of the place as well. Didn't love the lady that sneezed in her hands right next to me tho (just had to get that off my chest, that has nothing to do with the restaurant)

    It's such a cute restaurant. And it's a great location within walking distance of Birdies and the quirk! The staff is very friends and the drinks and food are very good. It's just very slow. I've been a few times and each it has never been super busy but it has taken a while to get my food and drinks. I still think it's worth a try but don't go there expecting it to move quickly. The food is delicious though! I got the bacon kimchi spring rolls and the chicken dumplings and both were great. I also had a Negroni and it was delicious as well!

    Chicken Lemongrass Dumplings

    I had a great time trying this new restaurant, And Dim Sum. This was my first experience trying Dim Sum so I really appreciated that the menu was simple and had good descriptions of each menu item along with a server that was super kind to answer any question that I had. I highly recommend trying a few different items to create a really delicious meal. The Lemongrass Chicken Dumplings, Beef Medallion Dumplings, Pork Xiao Long Bao,Kimchi Bacon Spring Rolls, and Duck Wontons. The restaurant itself has a really fun vibe. There's an upstairs and downstairs to provide plenty of space and a great dining option to reserve a private party. There's as a bar with plenty of drink options for a night out. I do recommend carpooling with whomever you are going to dinner with because parking is limited on the street. But do whatever you can to come to And Dim Sum, you won't regret it!

    Drunken Lo Mein
    Laveta H.

    First, I would like to say thanks for having food on the "Happy Hour" special. Not everyone comes for a drink. "Yum, yum, dim som" is what I was saying during my dinner. One of us had a couple of food allergies and the kitchen did a great job adjusting the ingredients. Thanks. Great waiter. Am still chuckling to myself about how he said "how's everything going, my friends?" each time he came to our table. Was very knowledgeable about the dishes and their ingredients.

Walking in, it was completely empty, no customers. By the time I left, several tables were sat and they had a steady stream of carry-out/delivery pickups. The service was very spotty, as they only had two people working the dining room and so many people went without someone checking them in, I waited about 15 mins for my check and those delivery drivers formed a line waiting for their pickups. I tried their spicy cucumber salad and their three pepper beef, but I sub'd out the beef for chicken instead. The cucumbers were decent, they had a nice spice to them and the vegetable itself was fresh. The three pepper chicken came out on a sizzling platter (a fajita platter with aluminum foil on it) and looked pretty good. My first few bites had the great flavor of wok hei, which I love! But I quickly noticed there was no other flavor other than some sort of pickled pepper flavor, which is very odd in Chinese food. The chicken texture was great, but the entire dish was swimming in vegetal oil, it wasn't dry spiced and wok'd. Overall, this visit was only slightly better than the first, only because they were open this time. But I most definitely wouldn't return. I absolutely love and seek out authentic Chinese foods (Szechuan, Hunan, etc) when I travel and those this place offers many authentic style dishes, they seem a little too "Americanized."

And it's not dumbed down American Chinese at all. My husband and I both work from home so we get to go have lunch at area restaurants from time to time. We have our regular places and we order Peter Chang's for takeout sometimes, but when we were deciding where to eat and knowing we were short on time, I suggested Peter Chang. For our meal we ordered dumplings, which were amazing. The dipping sauce was to die for...I need to research it and try to make it. We also got the scallion pancake, which came with a curry dipping sauce. Also very good. For lunch there is a menu that is typical of Chinese restaurants where you get a choice of soup (I chose hot and sour) and rice (I chose white rice). For my main I selected hot and numbing chicken from the lunch menu. My husband got three pepper steak. We also got jasmine tea, although if you prefer an adult beverage they have a bar. The food was excellent, service was attentive but not overbearing. It was a great meal and we both have lots of leftovers. The restaurant can be a bit noisy because it's just a big open room, but it's okay. The table next to use was loud talkers with no inside voice, so I got to hear all about their trip to Charlottesville for a concert. Sounds like they had a good time. I wish people were more self-aware about the volume of their voices in public but maybe his ears were wrecked from the concert. P.S. Peter Chang was the chef to a Chinese dignitary like an ambassador so he's the real deal.

It had too much soy sauce and you couldn't taste anything else. The white rice was dry and undercooked. I feel like this is an utter travesty. I was at least expecting good rice. The golden mountain had great flavor but I think it was a mistake to eat it at home. It was mushy by the time we ate it. You can taste the spite in general Tso's chicken. It's like they don't want you to order it. The flavor is just sweet without any complexity. I've had better flavored general Tso sauce from grocery store brands. It was also mushy by the time we ate it. I would never order this again from them.

When the sushi takes time to make, you know it's going to be delicious. I've been to other sushi spots and the rolls would come out rather quickly. We decided to start off with the Japanese fried squid on a stick. They were baby squid I had to ask thinking it was a full size squid. For the roles my husband chose the Playboy and I chose the Coco Mango which we both split. I thoroughly enjoyed the fried squid on a stick It was nice and crisp on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. It comes with three in the appetizer so if there's two of you just split the 3rd. When our roles came out they Showed great presentation. I was nervous with the fish on top of the Playboy role because I'm not used to eating that type of sushi and I think it has to do with texture. I don't know what I was so afraid of because it was the most tender piece of fish and melted in my mouth. Out of the two roles the Playboy was my favorite one the fish on top was soft, All of the flavors were Prominent and you didn't feel like it was getting lost. I'm sure we could have ordered a third roll but it was getting close to their closing time at 2:00. I ordered a hot green tea and it came out with its own teapot which I absolutely loved. I'm just upset with myself that it took me forever to get here. My husband and I have already talked about when we come back some of the other options we plan to try and I'm really looking forward to it

Not too doughy, and accompanied by two dipping sauces. The fish rolls were excellent. Light, crispy, with a savory fish filling. So satisfying. For entrees we got dry fried shredded chicken (so tasty and unique), shredded duck, and three pepper beef. The chicken was the star - crispy strip of chicken delicately seasoned. The duck dish was good, but probably not the best way to order duck. The three pepper beef was spicy and fragrant. We left full and happy and will pop in again next time we have a yen for Chinese.
