I can't believe I paid for "lo mein" at this place! It was more like "lo mistake." They served me angel hair pasta with an identity crisis. The sesame chicken was another comedy act. It was basically a fried chicken breast with sugar and water as the "sauce." I've had more flavorful cardboard! It's like they mistook the sugar jar for soy sauce. DISGUSTING. read more

This is the second time I've ordered from this place, and yet again I didn't receive my order. I called several times about it and kept getting hung up on. Never again. read more

If you have eaten authentic Chinese cuisine before, avoid this place. It is far from decent. The workers were very nice but it did not make up for there poor excuse for dim sum. I am from Markham and I have never eaten such wretched dim sum in my life. Im sorry if you ever find yourself in this restaurant. read more

Rude and abusive delivery driver for this restaurant. Who started calling names "As****e" and "F""k""u" when asked why he left the food out when it was asked to be handed over to the person. I called the restaurant to report this abusive behavior only to be told "It is okay, sorry sorry". The same I don't care attitude reflects in food as well with overall salty, tasteless food they have delivered. I would have given zero stars if possible. First and the last from my end. read more

Seriously...Would not recommend this place... Went to Dim Sum for several times with my friends to crave some Cantonese food, and we ordered shrimp dumplings, sticky rice chicken, and a porridge. The dim sums tastes good but... I found a hair inside the sticky rice chicken, it was so nasty... read more

Literally the worst food we've ever gotten. We ordered at 6pm and it took over an hour and a half to arrive. I ordered beef lo mein and shrimp dumplings, my boyfriend ordered sticky rice, tofu, and splice dumplings and our friends ordered chicken spring rolls, bbq chicken sticky rice and dumplings. My lo mein noodles came COMPLETELY uncooked to the point that they were still crunchy. My dumplings were bland and stale. My boyfriends tofu was wet, and his dumplings were also very bland for being spicy. Our friends chicken spring rolls had a huge bone in it that he almost ate, his sticky rice was almost a bread consistency and his dumplings also tasted like they were old. Overall would never go again. Save your money. read more

Skip this place and fulfill your Chinese food craving elsewhere. We found 2 hairs in 2 different dishes here. The service is prompt and they were nice about replacing the dishes, but this lack of sanitary practices raises some serious red flags about how food is prepared at Dim Sum Kingston. I'm honestly sad to post such a negative review, since I do like some of their dishes quite a lot, but I'm really hesitant to return or recommend this spot to others. If you do decide to go here, do yourself a favour and don't order the bubble tea! It was lacklustre at best. read more

I definitely don't think this place gets enough credit. As basically the only place near the Queen's University campus that serves dim sum, it definitely gets the job done. While the food definitely isn't the most amazing I've had, it's quite good for Kingston! Having moved here from Toronto, I found the prices reasonable. One thing I wasn't crazy about was the congee. It's not as thick as the congee that I usually eat, but it serves its purpose. TLDR; if you're from Toronto you may be a bit disappointed, but overall, it's a good meal at a reasonable price! read more

never order from dimsum kingston. i said allergy alert they didnt follow second. this is the most disgusting food iver ever eaten. the rice is supposed to be fried rice no soy sauce no egg no veggies just either steamed rice or boiled tossed with chicken. the general tao chicken is slimey as well as the honey garlic wings obviously all boiled not fried. most unprofessional and disgusting presentation ever. when i was in culinary 1st thing i was taught never serve something you wouldnt eat yourself. its never customer is always right but sometimes they should be. especially with the cost with stupid inflation. i paid money for this nastiness never been so disgusted with a food place. read more

I ordered from this store on June 24, 2021 through doordash, and I didnt see my order. After over two hours, it registered my delivery as complete. I called several times but no pick up. Doordash also called them as well, yet no pick up. Terrible experience! No communication, nothing! I will never order from here again. read more

The food was quite good, but delivery service was horrible. It took them well over an hour to deliver, and since they manage delivery independently, I couldn't even track their progress in the skip app. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. I ordered general tso chicken for delivery and I recieved sweet and sour pork. When I called the restaurant to ask for it to be re-delivered they said I will have to come in person to pick it up. They wouldn't deliver it because they were just over here at my house and didn't want to go back out again. I wouldn't reccomend this place to anyone, very poor service. read more

It's damn near impossible to find dim sum outside of the major cities but Kingston has it! Anybody who knows dim sum does one of the best parts of it is trying it at different places and getting slight variations on flavor. This place has some really good flavour coming out of it. So much that I'm going to order it today but ask for a random assortment so I don't keep myself tasting the same things over and over again. I call this launch roulette. I Halle recommend this restaurant. They have free Wi-Fi as well and a big table to even work at. read more

This food is amazing I think it's the best too they have a variety of stuff and I bet you it's all good.Here are my favorite picks of you ever come I recommend you get the deep fried milky and you won't regret it also to flush it down get bubble tea they have original lychee mango I think and we have only came here 4 times and I really enjoy it read more

Ordered pork dumplings, pad Thai and fried sweet potato. Pork was ok as was sweet potato. But not great. Pad Thai was made with a broad egg noodle and had a weird assortment of veg. I did not enjoy it. Driver was 25 minutes past the estimated delivery time. read more

Used to be good! Ordered today and my girlfriend and myself couldn't eat any of it, had to throw everything out! The vegetables were almost rotten, the noodles tasted and smelt like moth balls, or some kind of chemical! The chicken balls were old and stale! I phoned to let them know, and before I I could even ask for my money back they hung up on me! We are never ordering food from dim sum ever again!!! Update: now we both have food poisoning! read more

Best and only dim sum in Kingston. Prices are very reasonable. Service is great and delivery is great since they don't use uber eats. It's not high end like some places in Toronto but in my eyes it's still 5 stars. read more

The food is not to bad. The shrimp dumplings were good. The BBQ pork buns were a bit tasteless. Can hardly taste the BBQ pork flavour. The shrimp rice roll, was not too bad. If you are looking for the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, you are in for a rude awaking. It's not even wrapped, it's deep fried. Overall the portions was good, but lacking selections. read more

Compared to GTA/SF dim sum quality, this place is definitely mediocre or even less. But given that it's one of the very few dim sum places in Kingston and it's open until 2AM, it's perfect for late night out munchies! The family that owns the restaurant are incredibly sweet and friendly. Prices are really good, I'd recommend the chicken feet, siu mai and shrimp rice rolls! read more

One of the few places open late in Kingston, but quality is low. Not sure if they make anything on site, but dim sum is definitely straight out of the freezer. read more

I ordered from this place on skip the dishes with a friend and as soon as I finished eating I immediately felt super sick. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Not even a minute later my friend ran into the bathroom and started throwing up too! NEVER eat here, unless you want food poisoning, the food was pretty garbage too. The chicken balls tasted like what I imagine cat food to taste like. read more

The portions are pretty big, and the restaurant is open very late. The quality of the Chinese food is nothing like what you would get in Toronto but it's one of the better Chinese restaurants in Kingston. I come here whenever I start missing char siu. read more

I called because they got my delivery wrong and it was terrible customer service!! The man answering the phone was so rude, had an attitude, unhelpful and seemed more annoyed that I was calling than concerned. Food was mediocre at best but my exchange with the employee ruined it. read more

After going to a late movie, a friend and I were extremely hungry. Seeing how late that Dim Sum was opened, we decided to give it a go. Our server has very attentive making sure that we had everything that we needed. The menu gave us a great choice. The ordering I found was a touch off to me. You're given a checklist that has some of the Items on the menu, if you want something that is not put on the list, there is a small box for you to write in the ordering number of what you want. I ordered the chicken with vegetable and the pork with mushroom. Be warned, rice, noodles or sprouts don't automatically come with what you order. I found the portions to be more than generous. I stole a few of my friend's dim sum and I thought that they were a touch chewy (they were steamed). I actually had to bring more than half of it home with me. I thoroughly suggest Dim Sum Kingston for Chinese food! read more

The food was passable, I enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls. At 7 for $3.40 it was a good deal. However, during rush hour (presumably 6:30-8pm) the restaurant gets busy and delivery orders are put on hold. I waited 90 minutes for lukewarm food - not the best experience. read more

Anyone who gives this place a positive review is either an idiot or a liar. I tried around 10 different menu items and all tasted bland and straight out of a freezer. The tentacles were so rubbery, I couldn't even bite through them after multiple attempts. When I politely informed them they were overcooked (or freezerburnt), he just said no they're good. About 20 minutes into the meal i felt some internal rumblings, and at about the 30 minute mark, I had to run for the bathroom - the "food" was so awful my entire digestive system managed to hotshot it through me in record time. This scenario has been repeating itself throughout the night. read more
