It's a nice, clean space with a wide selection of dim sum items as well as Chinese dishes. The service was good and the food came out in a timely manner. We had the roast duck, roast pork buns, brisket noodle soup, and Chongqing spicy chicken. The food was good overall. The brisket noodle soup could have used more depth in the broth. The chicken was tender and they used white meat. The roast pork buns were similar to any other roast pork buns. The roast duck, however, seemed overcooked or possibly old and reheated to the point where parts of it were charred. read more

Grew up in the area years ago when Berwyn was a sleepy little town with not much but apartments and a septa station. Now there is this shopping plaza with Dim Sum Mania. It is a cute, clean and friendly Shanghai style Chinese restaurant. We got beef on a stick, traditional Hong Kong style pork siu mai dumplings and salt and pepper squid. All quite delicious. The service was super friendly. read more

Noticed Dim Sum Mania when shopping at the Asian grocery store near by, went in and was seated right away. It was clean and quiet inside. The menu items are all authentic Chinese dishes a on par with what you get at Chinatown. We ordered salt and pepper chicken and steamed dumplings and spicy dumplings for appetizers, all taste great. Also had the beef he feng and it's pretty delicious as well. Nice Chinese red at the suburb. read more

I miss the massive dim sum restaurants I used to frequent. The 800 seat Jin Fong in NY. Oriental Pearl in Atlanta. Point to what you want when the carts come by, sometimes, with a language barrier, not knowing what it is you pointed to. It's a fun way to eat! Dim Sum Mania isn't fun. But it's good. And despite a name that sounds Americanized, there are always Asian patrons, likely there to shop in the neighboring Hung Vuong. We're in the habit of ordering two types of dim sum, and one entree. We duplicated the crystal shrimp dumplings we ordered last time, and tried Shanghai pork soup dumplings. (The soup dumplings were better than what I had at Joe's Shanghai in NY, a restaurant known for their soup dumplings.) I was bowled over by today's eggplant with garlic sauce. It could've been a bit spicier -- I added chili and soy sauce -- but other than that .... With a variety of vegetables and the eggplant cooked perfectly, I was delighted! read more

Dim Sum Mania - Shanghai soup; flavorful broth, delicate and delicious wontons - Dim Sum Near Me - Berwyn, Pennsylvania

Very comfy and modern inside the restaurant. We came on a rainy weekday afternoon, so there weren't a lot of guests yet. By the time we left, the early dinner rush was getting in the swing. Overall, it was a very cozy experience. It had been a while since I've personally had dim sum, so it was very nostalgic ordering things like soup dumplings, crystal shrimp dumplings, and egg tarts. I highly recommend the radish cake -- we demolished it before I could take a photo, but it was so good! Soft and savory on the inside, crispy and hot on the outside. Just like the scallion pancakes too. If you're in the mood for some dim sum in the area, definitely give this place a try! read more

This is the underground hottest place for good Asian food. Will is the owner and took great care of us. He's committed to his business! We did a big take out order tonight and had to order for someone with Celiac. They consulted on the best food to get and accommodated different meals. Everything was so delicious! Best gluten free dishes: sautéd string beans with pork (yum!), orange flavor beef and roast duck. Dry pot fish wasn't GF but also so tasty! When we have gone in, I was always impressed with how sparking clean the place was and love the modern ambiance. Regardless of the eat-in or take-out, so many great options in a clean comfy setting. Go hungry! read more

I dined here for the first time last night with 3 other adults. The inside of the restaurant was hip and clean, though on the warm side. I was sweating pretty much the entire time, which was very uncomfortable and made me want to leave...but I really didn't want to leave because the food was so yummy! We ordered a variety of dumplings and buns, scallion pancakes, and beef Chow Ho Fun (wide noodles) to share, and didn't leave a scrap. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu! The sauces are on the table (side note: the dumpling sauce bottle was sticky...) so you can use what and how much you want. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious! The noodles and soup dumplings were probably my favorites. We didn't get any drinks or dessert. The service was good overall, though we did have to ask for water refills. The food came out quickly and they did a great job clearing empty plates without making us feel rushed. The gentleman who took our order gave us some recommendations and didn't mind leaving a menu with us so we could keep ordering stuff to try. This is a fun place to visit with friends, and I would definitely welcome the opportunity to go back another time! read more

A pleasant surprise. This byob offers an excellent selection of dim sum and traditional Chinese food. The dim was good - not crazy good, but a solid 8. We added a couple of entrees - the green beans with pork and the rice cakes. Both were really outstanding. The green beans were cooked just right - and served with pork. The rice cakes were a new one for me - where have they been all my life? They're made from the same dough as Mochi is - but sliced and fried up with mushrooms in a sauce that was unbelievably good. Just wow.... A return visit is most definitely in the cards. read more

Dumplings are fine as they are usually pre-made, but the wonton soup and dry pot chicken are way too salty, as if the salt jar was tipped over and all the salt fell into the dishes. It's unacceptably salty. Putting the unhealthy sodium level aside, it's a decent dim sum place. Not super authentic but acceptable. read more

My last review was for takeout and it was already at 4 stars! My coworkers and I brought some guests from out of town for an early dinner one weekday evening. They had our tables ready to go. The staff answered all our questions and double checked that our gluten intolerant coworker was able to eat certain dishes for us. A lot of the items on the menu are gluten free so she was very happy she could eat almost everything we ate! The food was fresh and tasted amazing. We got everything from crab and pork soup dumplings to salt and pepper seafood. Tom's fried rice is a favorite among the group and the beef and broccoli was one of the best I've had in a long time. I can't hype this place up enough! I had to come back and up my rating to 5/5 stars! read more

I ordered 3 dishes for take out: mapo tofu with no pork, general tsos tofu, and dry hot pot vegetable. My friends and I really enjoyed the dishes. It was greasy in the right ways, and kicked our tasted buds with some spice. At that time, we were raving so positively about the meal. However, three out of the four of us had bathroom problems the next morning. I won't indulge you in the details, but it was a disappointment because I was so excited to show my friends some good Chinese food. Unfortunately, our stomached said otherwise. read more

My family and friends got together after a hike and had lunch here. I allowed them to order all the food so I don't actually remember what these dishes were called but everything was delicious. They have high chairs for kids and there seemed to be quite a few families so they must be very accommodating towards the kids. The food came out quickly and we left happy and full. I would certainly recommend another visit. read more

Food was good but the woman who seated us and took our order was not very friendly. When we asked for a second bowl to share our soup she bought us a small little teacup. We asked again in a very friendly way and she said this is all we have. We looked at other tables nearby and they had multiple sized balls. read more

Everything about this restaurant is good. Food is good, service is friendly and fast, nice small restaurant.

I really wanted to like Dim Sum Mania. I'll start with the really great Sesame balls - light and fluffy in the middle. The rest was more of a standard Chinese restaurant. Service was good and there never seemed to be a wait for a table. I will probably order the Sesame balls as a "To Go" order. read more

Roast duck was very delicious. Duck was very crispy and flavorful. Also had the roast duck noodle soup which was amazing. It goes well with the chili oil and vinegar. Wasn't fan of the wonton soup as it was kind of bland but if you add the oil and vinegar the taste is great but could be better. Staff on the other hand was great and attentive. Also the fish was good but was very oily. Otherwise it's a good read more

We stopped by for dinner last night and it's a very beautiful place, and everyone was great. After reading all the amazing reviews we wanted to try it. Our orders came out extremely fast and we were starving. As we started eating the hotpot i realized the temperature was still cold. I've had hotpot before and it is not cold. Ordered the cumin noodles and they were extremely bland. Not sure at this point if I want to go back. But I do wish them well. read more

I am so happy to have a Dim Sum restaurant near my home! This place was recommended to us by a few people. It's in a very unassuming older retail center. The inside is modern, clean and not what I expected from the outside of the retail center! The service was very good. They were on top of serving us making sure everything was good and if we needed anything. It's small inside so I can see on a weekend it can get pretty busy. The place is BYOB too. I thought everything was delicious my only comments would be the menu does not have most of the ingredients listed in some of the main dishes. One had mushrooms and my husband can't have them so we needed to pick around them. The pork soup dumplings were amazing and the shrimp dumplings too. I could eat just those! Everything was very fresh. The bok choy was a little more chewy than I would like but that was only a minor thing. We will be back soon! read more

Some of the best Chinese food takeout I've had in a long time. I ordered orange beef with the sauce on the side and heated it up at home and it was delicious. We also really liked the pork fried rice and green beans. I'm very excited to try more entrées. So far I'm im excited to tell my yelp friends. read more

Wonderful! Was very excited to hear about the new location. Best Dim Sum in this area (Main Line). Everything is fresh and delicious. Family-friendly ambiance. Please support this place and dine here so they can continue to serve this area in the years to come. I suggest adding Chicken Feet to the menu for the old school dim sum goers like myself. Right now I can only get it at one other dim sum place nearby. Add this dish and I will come here 100% of the time read more

Really delicious food!! The soup dimpling are really wonderful. My favourite. Great service - never fails. Love this place.

More and more dim sum restaurants are opening in the local area which is good for many people craving for dim sum don't have to drive down to Chinatown. First I want to tell you I was in Hong Kong where dim sum is a must so I was raised eating dim sum since very young so I know what makes it good, but of course food have to evolve also to be appealing to many people. Let's get right to it, I ordered 1/4 roast duck on the menu and the waitress just repeated as half roast duck and at that time I just agree, but there is a big price difference on the menu, the roast duck come out very crispy, however there are more bone pieces than the meat, the two legs have the most meat. For about $23 dollars, there should be more meat piece, you can get whole roast duck in Chinatown for $30. I ordered French fries for son, fries took a while to come out but when it did the fries are super crispy and good. Next is fried shrimp ball, they are big and there are real small shrimp pieces in them so it's not totally shrimp paste like others, I would recommend if you like shrimp ball. Next is sticky rice in lotus leaf, size is good, there is good amount of chicken in there and a piece of Chinese sausage, the flavor is good and also there is a big piece of chicken meat inside. Next is Dan Dan noodle with pork, the pork version cost an extra dollar, I would not recommend the pork, because it's like they just sprinkled few pieces on top for the look. For the price you can get a big bowl of Dan Dan noodle somewhere else. Pan fried mini pork bun was juicy on the inside and cooked right, however the dough on the bun itself should be thicker as they are supposed to be. Scallion pancakes is a little on the thick side so I feel like I am eating a layer of dough, but it not bad. Food came out fast, the place is small so if you go there at dinner time you might have to wait, we went around 5:30pm on Saturday and I was seated right away but not long after there was many waiting. Inside the restaurant looks clean, their table seems to be folding table and folding chair set, it is ok to me, I am there for food not for the look. Overall I like it and I will be back again for other dish next time. read more

I am having hard time deciding on 2 or 3 star. There is nothing special about their food. Noodle soup is pretty bland. Seafood noodle soup was just warm water plus salt, no other spice, no umami or any other flavor.The source for the dumplings nauseatingly sweet and it is not supposed to. Everything was unremarkable, and barely authentic. Disappointing experience overall. read more

Nice to see a new dim sum spot in the area. The space has a very modern design. A limited dim sum menu compared to the city, but they do have familiar options. We were excited to see they had soup dumplings on their menu. The soup dumplings were acceptable and the broth inside was good. The wrapper was a little chewy for my liking, but it wasn't too. Most of the items we tried were good! The dim sum is overpriced, but there isn't much competition in the suburbs. read more

The food and ambiance were fantastic! We went for my birthday dinner and had some of the most amazing dumplings and general tso

Great service great food. I took a bunch of kids there and the wait staff was very patient.

We did not enjoy either meal we had. My husband got the shrimp and walnuts, which had a small amount of bland sauce and mushy shrimp. My chicken dish had a thin sauce and unpleasant pieces of breaded chicken (darker and fattier than expected). read more

Really good food. I've had the beef brisket soup, which is probably the best outside of Chinatown that I've had. The scallion pancakes are nice and thick, not too greasy. I usually stay away from the pan fried pork buns because they end up being too doughy and not enough meat but when I tried it here, they had a crispy bottom and the soup melted into the dough and it was soft and fluffy, without being too doughy. We also had the salty crispy pork, which was great. Honey roasted pork was a little too greasy, in my opinion, oil was dripping off of it as you picked it up. I'm so excited to try more dishes. read more

Finally some authentic dim sum in the KOP area that will satisfy the Chinese palate. Just needs a few more options.

I was so excited to see my favorite dim sum place from Media open closer to me in Berwyn! On a cold spring day, I convinced my hubby to try out this new place. The hot and sour soup was tasty and had enough balance in the broth. He got a noodle dish and found it to his liking, he really is the food critic not me. I received his approval to return. They have the best soup dumpling but on this visit we didn't order any. Another great addition to the area. read more

3.5 Underwhelmed. Excited to see a Dim Sum place here. Inside smallish. Ordered takeout thru website. 1$ convenience fee. Defaulted tip. Have to click and change if you don't believe in leaving anything for pickup or if you just want to leave 1 or 2 bucks. "Orange flavor" beef basically sugar and ketchup. Beef slices thin but not crispy, with a slightly mealy texture to the corn starch coating. Not really any orange flavor. Only orange the few small rinds you find. Very few red chilis also, if you like that. Kind of saccharine, which could be ok if that is how you like this. Not much flavor complexity. Personally, not a fan of ketchup in Americanized Chinese cuisine. I ate it but a friend just spit it out, saying 'too much tomato.' I agree. Prefer my umami some other way. Maybe just plain old MSG please? Small pieces of broccoli maybe not the freshest. Not a fan of take-outs which economize by using ingredients beyond their prime. Eggplant ok, but have had much more flavorful garlic eggplant elsewhere. In short, not as good as the namesake in Media. Nor as good as Ping Pong, close by at Gateway. Also, kind of expensive. Orange beef in itself expensive at $17.95 and certainly not worth it for this level of quality. Did not really try the Dim Sum offerings. Did try the pork and chive dumplings, which were just ok. They were ordered fried but they were probably mostly steamed and/or microwaved. There is a slight upcharge for fried versus steamed, believe it or not ! If you order through the website, make sure you also click on white rice (for no added charge) for any main dishes you order. You do not get it by default. I know this place is not gourmet, but I am a little underwhelmed by the cooking/preparation technique on display here. Located right near Bad Hair Day in the same general area as McDonald's. Might give it one more try. read more

Really solid offering. Scallion pancake was excellent. Xiao Long Bao were also really good. Very friendly service for takeout.
