    Shanghai Pork Soup Dumpling
    Lilly B.

    There are 2 Dim Sum restaurants within 50 feet of eachother in Media but I chose this one. The service is fast and very friendly. Soup and water were served right on arrival and the menu has a wide variety. The Bok choy and dumplings were good but the seafood noodles were very disappointing. They were super salty and only had 2 shrimp. Wouldn't come here again with other options so close!

    We stopped by here today after a dr appt because we were able to park right in front. Turns out the parking gods led us to the right place. We ordered the soup dumplings, the seaweed salad, marinated cucumbers, pork and cabbage dumpling, pork pancakes, and sticky rice/pork in a lotus leaf. Gosh, everything was so good and if I lived in Media I would eat here a lot. I think my fave was the pork pancake or the soup dumplings. But everything else was a close second. It seemed like a lot of food and I considered ordering another dish to take out/eat at dinner time but decided not to. And now that it is dinner I really regret not getting dinner to go haha. Also the workers were so nice - excellent service. Def will come back here when I'm in the area.

    We stopped by for Sunday lunch and even with a full house we were seated right away. From the first to last interaction, absolutely fantastic and attentive service from everyone. We ordered the Hong Kong Shui Mai, crispy turnip cake, spicy dumplings and Pork soup dumplings to give a good range of options. Good soup dumplings, great broth and flavor and didn't expect to have so many. The Spicy dumplings had a crispy bottom and such a fragrant filling. I prefer a thinner dumpling dough but it wasn't a dealbreaker at all. Pro Tip: Black vinegar at the table is a game changer, give it a shot if you haven't tried it yet! Most Dim Sum spots either don't have any at the table or use the red vinegar, this was a fantastic find!

    Service is always attentive! Good is an understatement on how superb their cuisine is! It feels like I'm at home in an authentic Asian family kitchen! My kids go to when I'm not up for cooking! Try the duck with sticky buns and broccoli!

    Supposedly, there is an unspoken feud between the two dim sum spots in Media, or so the local lore says...However, after coming to Dim Sum Mania several times, I still cannot get enough. It is a great place for lunch or dinner, with a menu extensive enough to try something different each time, or simply find your favorites and enjoy them over and and over. This is actually one of the few places I return to and order the same thing frequently, which for me, only speaks to the quality of what they do here. For me that is Shredded Pork Noodle Soup with Pickled Cabbage, a continual favorite that I cannot find anywhere but very specific places in Philly in Chinatown. It is perfectly served with hand drawn noodles and perfectly sour and sweet pickled cabbage. Just absolutely delicious. But the real secret about Dim Sum Mania is the perfect soup dumplings they have on offer, as well as the staff who is friendly and always encouraging people to take a step, even if just a small one, out of their comfort zone; even constructing dishes that are a fusion of what local palates may find more usual with traditional Szechuan flavors. The last time I was here, this exact thing happened to me when I was offered a new menu item that was velveted pork, onion, delicious red chilis, and other spices formed into perfectly pan fried meatballs in a savory umami-filled brown sauce. Adding to the uniqueness of the experience is a massive LED screen that has pan-Asian cooking programs on rotation, showcasing interesting preparation techniques and styles, and ingredients that many patrons may have never seen or enjoyed before. All this takes place right on State Street in downtown Media in a bright space with cantilevered doors that can be opened when it's nice outside and adds to the charm of not only the restaurant, but also much of the reason people love Media so much. Not only should you come here, but bring friends or family as it's a nice raucous spot for great conversation and for sharing tons of great food. You'll be sorry if you pass it by when you walk by and see all the satisfied smiles inside.

    A place I take my family, friends, and dates to, and a place people will drive to from the city. A favorite for anyone who likes dim sum in the area. My waitress last Saturday afternoon sold me on their non-menu special(a) of lion's head and a vegetable dish I think is cardone but not sure. The vegetables were super fresh and lots of oil used for helping the flavor come out. Maybe too much oil but so good. The usual shrimp roll order and soup dumplings I had as well. Before eating, we already knew we'd have to take food home.

    Pretty tasty dimsum in Media. It's Shanghainese style, so no chicken feet or pork ribs. Mostly buns, think carbs. Food came out in a timely manner and the hostess was kind. It's a big open restaurant and they are BYOB!

    Dim sum - yummy

    So excited to have an alternate spot for dim sum in the burbs. You can make reservations too. We were greeted and seated right away. Water was served and our waiter came quickly to order our food on a tablet. Parking is in the street - so you may have to walk a bit as this area is busy with restaurants and Trader Joe's The restaurant is very open with a accordion window doors that brings a nice breeze and sunlight . Dim sum menu is not that extensive live Chinatown places but has the fave dishes . I ordered shrimp dumplings, bbq pork steamed buns, and pork shu mai. We also ordered beef chow fun and chicken fried rice. All delicious. Service was very attentive checking on us and bringing water refills. I will be back soon to try the duck! Love this place!

    Magnificent service. Lots of staff! So attentive. Cute decor and interesting big screen TV, showing Asian culinary centric programming . We enjoyed several vegetarian dumpling dishes and tofu general cho. ()Loved my piggie shaped sweet bao. I would definitely return.

    This is my go-to for dim sum in the suburbs. The hong kong shaomai is amazing. Prompt and great service every time.

    It's not that I want to piece this review together ... hopefully my words will be the glue that stick to your memory in case you visit Media Pennsylvania but frankly it was the tape that took this Dim Sum palace down a star. So, I have been considering Dim Sum Mania for "sum" time. I know, that was poor but I just couldn't help myself. And, upon viewing their menu I was thrilled with the choices and the prices. Soupy Dumpling for me please ... It's really a very appealing dining area that is both open and intimate. Clearly there was some thought to the design because it makes for a perfect location to enjoy quality dim sum as well as some traditional Chinese offerings. Service was prompt and pleasant. I didn't have any questions but I am pretty sure that if I had one or two or more that the attentive staff would have been able to answer them with a smile. I decided to choose Spring Rolls to go along with the dim sum option. Spring Rolls are usually one of those test an Asian restaurant out on a first visit choice. So, I place my order and then I noticed .... the SCOTCH ... ok, it's BYOB and I didn't bring any Scotch (More of a Whiskey man actually.) and no one had offered me a shot. There was SCOTCH TAPE covering the openings of every condiment on my table and on the table next to me. Yes, to access the soy sauce I had to peel back the SCOTCH TAPE ... YUCK!! EWWW!!! And, any other expressions you might think of but frankly it gets a bit worse ... one of the staff walked by and peeled away the tape on one condiment container right in front of me. Now, ok ... I understand that during non-business hours you don't want anything moving into the condiments on the tables but if you are choosing to use SCOTCH TAPE well then before you open your doors you should have a SCOTCH TAPE REMOVER assigned to insure that each little piece of tape is removed before diners sit down in the not so dim lit restaurant to wonder why SCOTCH TAPE is covering a container of sauce that will soon be on their food. There went one star POOF and I began to wonder ... I began to question ... what would the food be like. The SPRING ROLLS arrived with a decent dipping sauce but nothing out of the ordinary. So, I gave a lot of thought about these because they had traces of the cooking oil on them but it was a clean oil not from a fryer over laden with a week's worth of egg roll frying ... and the rolls were cripsy and most importantly very tasty. Not world beaters but lunch time satisfiers. I sat back and awaited the piece de resistance ... the soupy dumplings. The staff member approached carrying the steam basket ... I was so ready and I was so happy and these were so good and so filling that I hardly noticed the SCOTCH TAPE .... ok, I couldn't help but continue to notice the SCOTCH TAPE but my goodness I wanted more of these ... but they filled me up ... I was happy and you can tape me saying that ... well, unless you know me you can't uh tape me and there wasn't enough SCOTCH TAPE to do more than cover those small openings on the condiments not that I noticed the SCOTCH TAPE at all. Believe me ... I will be back and I will come back in a hungry mood because I want to try more of the dim sum at DIM SUM MANIA and as I looked across at another diner's Chinese meal it really looked good too ... I think I am going to have to return extremely hungry and hopefully if I arrive later in the day the SCOTCH TAPE, which I hardly noticed will already have been removed by the restaurant's SCOTCH TAPE remover! If you like dim sum ... head here!

From the moment you walk in the door, the wait staff take great care of you. They make sure you are happy with your table, your order, and experience overall. So helpful and friendly. That makes all the difference. The food is delicious. In the past we've had hot tea to drink and it is always a great choice. Over the years we've had many appetizers, but the pork and chive dumplings and all the soup dumplings are our favorite. We love crafting our own dipping sauces using the 4 different options on the table (dumpling sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and soy sauce). Yum! We've also had many meals over the year, but our favorite is the lunch meal deal. This includes a smaller meal portion over rice for a lunch price. It keeps us coming back for lunch year after year! The chicken with garlic sauce is my absolute favorite. My husband mixes it up a lot, but he really enjoyed his orange chicken this time. One time we came for dinner with a large group and the servers took such good care of us. They even provided a chop-stick tool and guided demonstration for the kids with us. It was so sweet! The decor is warm, inviting, and appropriate for the dim sum menu. The dinning area and bathrooms are always clean. We love Tom's Dim Sum, and we know you will, too! See you next time!

    I got to try the scallion pancake, the spicy port soup dumpling, and the Shanghai pork dumpling…read more The scallion pancake was great! A nice flavor and I really loved the lightly crisp yet a little chewy texture. The spicy soup dumplings were my favorite. Definitely packed with flavor! Would come here again just for those

Chicken with scallions and Japanese tofu are also regular favorites.

    I haven't ordered from New Leaf in years, and was reminded today of why…read more The shrimp spring rolls were inedible! Greasy...soggy...salted beyond belief and they had a funky taste that's not usually synonymous with "fresh" seafood! It wasn't a question of "if" the shrimp had gone bad...but rather "when" the shrimp went bad. Chicken Fried Rice was bland and uninspired. If you can look beyond the smoky taste of burned oil...there is little else adding flavor or character to the dish. "Fortunately"...I had unused dipping sauce for the inedible spring rolls that I was able to use to " resurrect" this deceased rice dish. Singapore noddles are "OK"... if you like your veggies void of any fresh crunch. The shrimp in the noodles were VERY "shrimpy" tasting...which was an indication that they were in need of a proper burial. I didn't eat them... and would have given them to my dog...but I really love him. Both the rice and noodles would have benefitted from a little salt, but clearly it was all used up in the spring rolls!! Oh the irony. My father always told me that "some lessons in life cost more than others". I should have known better than to go back to the scene of a previous (food) crime, but...I didn't. This was an over priced $37 dollar lesson. I'm just hope that it doesn't come with a side of food poisoning!

You can specify the heat if you order online. Walnut Shrimp - Good size shrimp with walnuts and broccoli with sauce. Tasty. I walked into the wrong restaurant when I got here, there's a sandwich and beer shop next door. I thought the menu looked off! But at least I found yet another place for takeout. Return: Maybe. That Szechuan dumpling sauce was good.
