Came here for morning dimsum on a weekday and this place did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was authentic and was right up there with what you find in San Gabriel Valley in SoCal. We ordered the typical items like shrimp dumplings, siumai, other items. Plenty of seating. Decently clean restaurant. read more

One of my FAV dim sum places in Toronto! The dim sum is superb and comes out quick! The only thing that was lacking was the scallion pancake but not because it was bad just rather plain. They come out with complimentary tea right away! It's very easy to order a lot. Also pro tip the sticky rice comes in an order of two. The service is quick and staff is friendly! The resturant is big and decorated very nice! read more

Nope. This place sadly isn't for me. My husband and I were in Toronto riding the Hop On and Off double decker tour bus and I said "let's stop in China Town for a late lunch"... That we did. Sorry we did. Service was grouchy for a place that has been around this long with no help with understanding the ordering process and never asking if we wanted anything to drink other than hot tea. We asked for diet cokes and you would have thought we asked for the world. Food was blah. Couldn't wait to leave. read more

Dim Sum King - Never really ever disliked a meal experience like this one before. Sorry. - Dim Sum Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Dimsum King never disappoints! It's always our go to when we're in downtown and touring our visitors from other cities/countries. We ordered a spread and nothing missed. The shrimp har gow are plump with that nice snap, siu mai are juicy, and the rice-noodle rolls are silky. Crispy turnip cake has those caramelized edges, the roast pork/duck combo brings the crunch and fat you want. Fried rice isn't greasy, portions are generous, and dishes come out fast even when the room is slammed. Just perfect :) read more

What a great place for dim sum! We were looking for something local and read about the Dim Sum King. The food was awesome! Between the dumplings (pork and shrimp), Malaysian noodles and fried sesame bean curd buns (desert) we were pleasantly fulfilled. The staff was friendly and quick to serve up the orders in a steady stream from the kitchen. The atmosphere inside was lively, very clean and really pleasant. It was worth the walk up to this 3rd floor restaurant (and yes there was an elevator if needed). read more

Went to this Chinese restaurant for the first time for an event. Dim sum and dumplings served actually taste very good. The servers brought out the food very efficiently and offered drinks quickly as well. They were friendly. The restaurant was big, big enough for family to come and bring friends. The energy was good! Definitely check this place out if you're in China town. Also offers both wine and beer read more

My sis and I are from California and visited Toronto for my birthday. We came here for lunch on my birthday, and everything was so delicious! I loved picking out our dishes from the carts and being able to see it before choosing them. The staff was super friendly and great at explaining what everything was. I loved the decor too! read more

Restaurant is in the middle of Chinatown upstairs on the 3rd floor. They serve dim sum all day it seems as we arrived around 3 PM. You order from a menu and they bring the food out to you. Ambiance is good with 3 Lions (the ones used for Lion Dancing during Lunar New Year) hanging from the ceiling. Service was just okay but probably is better during rush hour. As for the dim sum, it was just okay. Siu mai was lacking in shrimp and more of a pork dumpling. The char siu bao was very good. Sticky rice was okay. Overal a good choice for dim sum if you can't make it out to the Markham area. read more

A popular place to go to judging by the crowds. Had to wait maybe 20 minutes for a table. The quality overall is less than I'm used to being from the San Francisco Bay Area. I guess pork buns aren't in demand as none were to be had during my visit. The same could be said for don tarts. I had a difficult time special ordering BBQ pork chow fun. When the dish arrived it was of the wet variety and not the dry as I ordered. The women pushing the carts seem to be helpful. I guess I had higher expectations upon arriving at this place. The interior is large typical of these restaurants. read more

This place is severely underrated on Yelp! One of the few places still offering the authentic traditional style of dim sum with the Chinese ladies pushing the carts around, which is very much appreciated by dim sum fans like myself! Not to mention there is a large variety of dishes available, all of which are tasty. I tried a bunch of different dishes (as you do), so here are some ones to highlight: - Shrimp and chive dumplings: This was surprisingly good, as the meat/veggie combo was tasty and the outside was nicely lightly fried. - Har gow: A tasty dim sum classic done well. - Egg tarts: Always one of my favs and this one did not disappoint. - Bean curd roll with beef: Decent although some of the others were better. - Chang fen (rice noodle roll) with you tiao (fried dough): Another one of my fav dim sum dishes and this one had nicely cooked dough on the outside to go with the well-made fried dough inside. - Tofu pudding: Delicious soft tofu in a sweet and gingery soup - Durian puff pastries: This one really surprised me because I thought I wasn't a durian fan, but this durian flavor isn't particularly strong (in a good way) and the pastry part was super soft and fluffy, making for a surprisingly delicious dessert. Our whole meal for 2 people came out to $60 CAD, which is quite a good deal considering the amount and quality of the food. The restaurant itself is on the upper floor of the building and the space is huge with tons of large tables for seating. It can get pretty packed in there though during peak hours, but we were able to get a table without a wait at prime weekend dim sum time. There is some traditional Chinese style decor around. I've already talked about the cart ladies, who are great, but the other staff are helpful as well. It definitely helps if you can speak Chinese though. Overall, Dim Sum King is definitely one of the top dim sum spots in Toronto. If you like dim sum, make sure you stop by! read more

First time here recently and it was fantastic! I'm really surprised with the mixed reviews. It's not as modern and no fancy tableware sets but the place was clean, excellent service and most importantly the food was really good. As other reviewers have mentioned, they are still serving dim sum in the traditional push cart style. We came quite late around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon so there were only a few push carts when we arrived so we did have to order a few items from the kitchen. Overall, we really enjoyed our dim sum lunch and we will definitely be back if we are in the area. read more

It is about 3.5 stars. The restaurant is at the top floor. They do have a slow elevator on the side if you don't want to take the stairs. The restaurant is push cart with dim sum. You can get a closer look on food you like. We got the fried squid without coating. The squid is just the tentacles. But it is delicious. The second dish is the rice paste with BBQ pork and steam bun. Both dishes are just ok. We also got sweet soft tofu and the stuff eggplant. Those are quite good. Recommend those last two dishes. Overall is good. I like push cart for dim sum. Very traditional way for serving this Chinese tapas. read more

Our grandson read about dimsum with cart service at the table and we promised him a birthday lunch. Not many places offer table side cart service anymore, but a little research led us to Dim Sum King. The food was excellent -- even outstanding -- almost without exception. (Either I or Hong Fatt can make better cha siu than DSK used, but that is an exceedingly minor issue!) Every. Single. Plate. was outstanding. And unlike the cart service I remember in the 1970s and 80s, DSK got enough food to our table and enough variety to feed six people aged 4 to 80 with equally widely-varied tastes. We never had to ask after dishes that didn't show up. Lo bak go (turnip patties)? Beef meatballs? Dan tat (custard tarts)? Ham sui gok? Siu mai, ha gow (steamed dumplings)? Here they come. We all loved it so much we returned the next year for another small celebration with the same family members for our 50th wedding anniversary this past July 2025. Ambience? Typical Chinese restaurant decor, clean, good people. Can't ask for more. read more

Dimsum was part of our itinerary for out Toronto Trip. So we looked for places to grab some and saw this joint. Since we all haven't been here yet, we decided to show up. Dimsum is a hodge podge of what everybody likes to eat. Put it in the middle and smash away with the whole group. The all of our dishes were really delish. I had an amazing time putting everything away. Since there was so many dishes ordered, but my favorite out of their kitchen is Chicken Feet. The service was amazing. Plenty of staff around to take care of our every need. Not a glass empty and tea pots were always topped off. I had an amazing time eating here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good dimsum. Muchas gracias y hasta pronto! Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!! read more

Decent dimsum at decent prices. Expected a bit more tastiness and flavour for a spot in Chinatown, but this wasn't bad. Of the stuff we ordered, I liked the shrimp on egg and baked bbq pork buns the most. Everything else (har gow, soup dumpling, beancurd, squid tentacles, bun with egg yolk, sesame seed lotus balls) were pretty standard. Won't be crowning Dim Sum King as the best dim sum spot in the city. But it's ok if you want to get your fill. read more

Super busy and popular. Dim sum is an average price and not super cheap but food is delicious with a wide variety. Service is pretty efficient and quick. Ambiance is loud and busy but that's normally the traditional vibe of a dim sum place in Hong Kong. It's fun and busy in a good way. I recommend coming earlier than 10 to get a spot quickly before the rush of people. I recommend this place :) read more

One of the last few dim sum places that still roll out the carts. For nostalgic memories but the downside of this is sometimes the item you want may take time to get your way. The pan fried shrimp dumplings are the best here and you can see them pan frying them at the front of the store. It is quite affordable average about $5-$7 a dish. They used to have a early bird discount but we don't see it anymore Would recommend if looking for dim sum at Chinatown read more

An old staple in Chinatown for dim sum. No frills. Large dining room. Located on the top floor, the restaurant is accessible by stairs, and also a very slow elevator. They are well staffed to handle the lunch rush. It's one of the few places that still had the traditional push carts! But you can still order from the menu list if they are not pushing out what you want. My co-workers love coming here in large groups to enjoy the traditional dim sum experience! read more

We heard many good reviews about this place, and decided to check out this place! The building was located right in the middle of Chinatown, and go up to 3rd floor for the restaurant venue. Don't get hesitate if you visit during weekdays morning and the 1st floor was empty, just go to 3rd floor through stairs or elevator. On weekdays morning, they usually less crowded so you can directly get your seat and browsing on dimsum menu. They have all kinds of dimsum, and we chose the staples menu like steamed shrimps dumplings (har gow), steamed 2 kinds of meat dumplings (siu mai), steamed BBQ pork buns, steamed cream bun, shanghai dumplings with minced pork (xiao long bao), steamed chicken feet, pan fried turnip cake, steamed sticky rice with chicken and dried shrimp in lotus leaves, steamed braised beef tendons, and steamed pig stomach with black peppers. Those orders are enough for 4-6 persons. Must add that all of the staffs are wearing masks while serving food! And the restrooms were clean and sanitized periodically! Overall they're all good, but some taste are missing maybe less salty or the meat feela like less marinated. What's amazing experience was the dimsum cart always mobile and filled with good meals, also the managers and servers were all very friendly and really taking care of us. When we're looking for good food and not only you got full stomach but also warmth and full of joy heart. We recommend to come and check out this place when you're nearby! read more

My Chinese wife grew up in Hong Kong, and loves dim sum. And she really likes the traditional push cart style of serving it, and since this place is one of the last places in Toronto that still uses push carts, we decided to go there. Unfortunately, while they do use the push carts, it is mostly for show, and very few items are on the push carts. Most of the desirable items (congee, har gow, shumai) had to be ordered before they would bring them out for you. I didn't mind that we had to order some of the items, but my wife was very disappointed with this, and if we ever go back to Toronto, we will probably explore other places, as Dim Sum King is not "really" using push carts. But I still thought the food and service here was very good. My wife would only rate them 4 stars, but since it's my review(!), I rate them 5 stars. read more

This place was once my favs but last time I went, I was so underwhelmed. The quality had dropped significantly. Har Gow had a thick wrap and the shrimp filling lacked any shrimp flavor because they used cheap cocktail shrimps. The Chong Fun had wraps thick enough to be pancakes. Worst of all, they discontinued my only reason for coming to DSK was their Thousand Layer Cake. Unacceptable! Downtown Chinatown is dead to me now. All the best dim sum is in Scarberia, Richmond Hill, North York or Mississauga. Soooo sad. read more

I think this is one of the few or only remaining dim sum restaurants in Toronto that still serves Dim Sum in rolly carts before COVID. Not the most efficient but a traditional practice that we should preserve. Isn't it a joy to have friendly grannies pushing dim sum carts to fill your tummy up? I hope COVID doesn't take this spot away from us. If you order from different delivery apps, each will cater to a particular audience. Eg. Uber Eats will feature options like General George's Chicken??? While the Fantuan app will display traditional Chinese-style family meals. Whatever you crave, Dim Sum King delivers quality food that hits the spot. We ordered the Western-friendly menu from Uber Eats: -Cantonese Chow Mein -I don't judge I gave General George a chance -Chicken Fried Rice - Pan Fried Chives & Shrimp Cakes All were tasty. Their specialty is the shrimp cakes, one of the items where they freshly pan sear it up in front of guests during regular times. So you know it's made in-house! This is pretty much my default dimsum spot downtown. read more

Quite impressed with the quality of the dim sum, some of the best I've had in a while! We ordered a few of their popular items and were pleasantly amazed by most of them. The pan fried chives & shrimp cakes were absolutely stuffed to bursting with shrimp - I think they tried to squeeze at least three in each thin wrapper. (My pictures don't do it justice, and neither do their pictures on the menu). Same thing with the siu mai, deliciously huge pieces of pork and shrimp. The hot and sour soup was full of ingredients and packs quite a punch for those craving spice. The congee had great flavour - I actually had to add a bit of water to it because it was so dense. :) We were also very happy with the packaging - everything came in neat little containers in a paper bag (ideal for preventing spillage) inside another plastic bag (making it easy to carry). Would definitely order from here again! read more

Gosh I love this place. Before covid, this was my go-to dim sum place in chinatown. It still had the cart style where they push carts around from table to table, announcing what they've got on their cart. A fun and lively experience. The dim sum itself is very good quality. I haven't had proper dim sum since last March with covid and all. It had been a year of lacking dim sum in my life...finally went to chinatown today and ordered a BUNCH of food. Was so excited while making my order. Definitely get the har gow and siu mai here. The har gow is legit - large pieces of shrimp inside (they don't skimp). The chicken feet here is really good too. I also like to get the beef tripe and beef tendon. They also have good deep fried eggplant shrimp, and beef ribs. Today I had the preserved egg pork congee which I enjoyed as it was very flavourful. I ordered the fried dough along with it (but it was more doughy and less crispy than I'm used to). I probably would skip the fried dough next time. I got the bean curd roll which I thought would be vegetarian but it was actually pork - I find it too dense so probably wouldn't order it again. I think the veggie bean curd roll is on the bottom right side of the dim sum sheet rather than the left side. Since it's lockdown right now, it's all takeout. You can order in advance online for pickup or delivery. What I did was go to the restaurant, fill in a dim sum sheet, and then walked around chinatown and went back half hour later to pick up the order. They included the hot mustard and red sauce for the har gow, which was super (because I didn't ask for it but definitely wanted it). They also had soy sauce, fortune cookies and cutlery in the bag. The staff here are friendly and the food is great. I don't give out 5 stars often, but Dim Sum King has consistently delivered over the years. And today's dim sum takeout feast was phenomenal...my dim sum cravings are FINALLY satisfied. read more

This dim sum restaurant offers great value for money. We only ordered dim sum dishes and were able to get full for less than 20 CAD per person. While the dim sum was not particularly outstanding compared to what you might find in Asia, it was still quite good for the price and taste in North America. I highly recommend the shrimp and chive dumplings, as they were generously filled with large pieces of shrimp and the dumplings were freshly pan-fried, which made them very satisfying. The restaurant also has a unique atmosphere. When we visited on a Saturday, there were no order slips for the dim sum. Instead, there were a bunch of waitstaff pushing carts around and shouting out which dim sum dishes were on each cart and asking if anyone wanted to order. This way of ordering was very nostalgic and added to the ambiance of the place. 這間吃點心的話性價比是很高的，我們只點了點心來吃也能吃得飽，也只是每人20cad內，每款點心也不過不失，要對比亞洲吃的話沒有到很驚艶，但北美來說這個價位跟這樣的味道也很不錯了。其中很推薦韭菜蝦餅，大大的蝦配了即場煎的蝦餅，很大的滿足。 而且環境是很有特色，星期六當天去是沒有點心紙的，而是一大堆店員到處推著手推車然後一直在喊車上是那款點心，然後問有沒有人要，這樣的方式點餐的，是充滿著懷舊的氣氛。 read more

The name says it all; they are the dim sum king. Their pea sprouts were tender and sweet, like it should be. Their shrimp dumplings were sticky and fresh. Every morsel of fried squid was crunchy and garlicky. Turnip cakes were delicately seasoned and the tofu was drenched in savory sauce. They have dim sum all day and if you're feeling camp just take some pictures near the permanent wedding backdrop. read more

Where do I start? I've noticed since covid the quality of the food and taste has gone downhill by a lot! This weekend I ordered pepper beef ribs, soya beef rice noodles, beef rice rolls, squid tentacles, ginger tripe, chicken feet, har gow, and siu Mai. Pepper beef ribs were okay, a tad too slimy in texture. The soya beef rice noodles was way under seasoned and you can tell that by the colour of the noodles, I'm sure I could've cooked it better. The squid tentacles could've been better if it was battered. The ginger tripe was missing ginger in it but even worse was that it tasted like it went bad. It had a sour taste and the sauce was cloudy looking which is not normal. The only saving grace were the chicken feet, Har gow and siu Mai were decent. I found the rice roll sauce was bland as well. Next time if I'm craving dim sum I will just order from Rol San or try a new place. I no longer trust the quality here, I'm saddened because it was my second or 3rd go to for dim sum and now I have to cross it off my list. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. read more
