Finding the Real Deal: Dim Sumlicious is the Authentic Yum Cha Las Vegas Has Been Missing Las Vegas has no shortage of Chinese restaurants, but anyone who's grown up going to yum cha knows the difference between dim sum done right and dim sum done for tourists. I've been on a quiet, slightly obsessive hunt across this city for the genuine article -- the kind of Sunday morning experience that transports you straight to a bustling Hong Kong tea house. And friends, I found it. It's called Dim Sumlicious, and the name does not lie. The moment the first bamboo basket hit our table, I knew this was different. Dim Sumlicious has a chef with over 30 years of experience honing his craft in Hong Kong, and it shows in every single bite. This isn't the frozen-and-steamed shortcut situation you'll find at so many spots around town. These are handmade, skillfully executed classics that carry the weight of real tradition behind them. The har gow wrappers had that perfect translucent delicacy -- thin enough to see through, sturdy enough to hold. The siu mai were plump and properly seasoned. The char siu bao, both baked and steamed, hit every note I was hoping for. Cart after cart brought something worth ordering, and nothing disappointed. But beyond the food, what struck me about Dim Sumlicious was the atmosphere of care. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable -- a rarity in a city where restaurants can feel like they're processing customers on a conveyor belt. If you're a dim sum devotee who's been settling for "pretty good," your search is over. Dim Sumlicious is the real deal -- no asterisks, no caveats. Make a reservation, bring the whole family, and go hungry. Las Vegas finally has its yum cha moment. Don't sleep on it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

No rush and no crowds after 1:30pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Nice. Parking lot had plenty of spaces or you can also park at the plaza next door. Dim Sumlicious is a very low key small restaurant to hang around. Small Cantonese family style business. You can hear folks speaking in Cantonese clearly since the space is small, but there's plenty of tables and chairs available. 1-2 staffs here. Affordable dim sums. No service charges and credit cards are accepted. We were seated immediately. We waited long enough for food items to come out. Yes, they do charge tea per person. Tofu pudding/siumai/shrimp rice rolls//tripe/pork ribs/shrimp green pepper/radish cake/shrimp chive dumplings/and everything else/etc. were all very good in flavors and textures. Skin wraps were not soggy and doesn't break apart easily. Not watery. Public restroom is available. Not bad for a small casual low key dim sum place. Convenient. Expect slow food service here. Great for small groups. Just remember that everyone can hear you in this small space. Still good. read more

The best dim sum I have had in Las Vegas (and I have been trying a new place almost every time). It is nothing fancy, it's not a grand restaurant, but I did see locals eating there. Service was great too, I liked the pacing of a couple of food at a time, so everything could be enjoyed piping hot. The food was spot on for the staples. I don't recommend the fried calamari, it was a bit greasy. I love everything else, especially the stuffed eggplant, I haven't had one that was done so well in a long time. read more

I came here after reading so many positive reviews, so I had fairly high expectations, but the experience honestly didn't live up to the hype. Right from the start, service was slow. We waited close to 15 minutes just to be seated while only two staff members were managing the front. Seating is limited and parking is tight, so the visit already felt a bit frustrating before we even sat down. Food overall was decent, but nothing really stood out. The menu isn't very large to begin with, and several items were already crossed off when we arrived. The bao was the biggest disappointment , the meat didn't taste fresh and had an unusual flavor compared to other dim sum spots I've tried. After our food was delivered, no one came back to check on our table. We had to ask multiple times just to get basic service. What surprised me most was the bill. An automatic service charge of about 18% was added for just two people , my bill was $31.95, with a $5.76 service fee. Considering the slow and inattentive service, the added charge didn't really feel justified. Overall, the dim sum was okay, but not memorable. Between the slow service, limited menu, and automatic service fee ! read more

A small nondescript local favorite for dim sum where customers come for the food, not for the ambience. You order on a paper menu so everything is freshly made to order. Items are brought out as soon as it's ready so be careful when biting, it can be steaming hot. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) wrap is fresh, soft and melts in your mouth. The dumpling is all shrimp. The goto sui mai is tasty with a terrific texture and perfect with a touch of chili sauce. The turnip cake is flavorful with bits of sweet potato. We tried both baked and steamed BBQ pork (char sui) bun. What a surprise to experience the difference of both buns in terms of texture and taste. The thousand year egg congee was a little disappointing which contained very little egg. The fish congee was a better selection but definitely add some soy sauce with the fish congee. read more

This dimsum place is better than many places in Hong Kong! While the place is quite small, there was a back room that perfectly seated 7 of us. We ordered a variety of items. My favorites were the baked buns, stuffed eggplant, and rice rolls. These were all super fresh tasting compared to other dim sum places in Houston! The bbq pork, cream, and salted egg buns are a must try! The crust is very unique as it's like a crispy cookie baked on top of the buns! Many places just steam premade frozen buns, but these are so fresh! Service was also great! The lady was very nice. read more

Good dim sum. There is no carts here you order off a menu. The food takes a little time to prepare but it comes out super hot and fresh. They have all the common dishes like dumplings, pork buns and lotus leaf rice. I feel the portions are good sized and prices were average. read more

The art of dim sum: small dishes and big flavors. The interior of Dim Sumlicious is cozy, compact, and buzzing with Cantonese chatter. The aunties working here are warm and welcoming, checking on tables with a no-fuss charm that's reminiscent of Hong Kong. One of the ladies even called me, "亮女" which made this old lady giggle. Thanks, 姐姐! Prices range from $4.89 to $8.89 per dish, which is reasonable. They have a $20 minimum for credit card purchases. Most dishes though were bland or lacked that signature punch you expected, as if they were missing heart, seasoning, or both. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. It's a solid spot for a cozy bite and a nostalgic atmosphere, especially if you speak a little Cantonese and want that familiar hum of home. But food-wise? I left a little underwhelmed and still craving more dim sum. read more

I think I found my next favorite Dim Sum place. Located on Spring Road Road past Lindell.... Place is nice, not claustrophobic, clean, wait staff was very friendly... Ordered my favorite chicken feet, beef short rib, beef tripe, and pork/century egg congee... The chicken feet came 4 to a serving (most Dimsum places only serve 3). They were so tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. Loved it. Beef tripe was a little chewy but is as expected, the beef short ribs were well seasoned but tasted better with chili oil, and the congee came in a larger bowl than I expected, a lot of century egg too, and was well seasoned.... Overall, I liked everything that was served... Prices were so reasonable that everything I ate, 5 orders dine-in, 2 orders to-go, and the tea was less than 50 bucks. I will be back and for some of you not into what I ordered, I think it's time you open you minds and taste buds ... try new food from other countries.... You might like it !!!! read more

You win some and then you dim sum. Here at Dim Sumlicious, though, you kind of lose some. If you're looking for traditional Cantonese-style dim sum without the bells and whistles, this place deliver; just not in abundance. There are no roving steam carts here. Instead, you're handed an order sheet and it feels a bit like taking a quiz where there's no real passing or failing, just hoping the dishes you check off are still available. Unfortunately, several items were already sold out during my visit, which was a bit of a letdown. The selection was noticeably limited, so if you're coming hungry or looking for variety, you might leave underwhelmed. That said, the service felt true to the old-school Cantonese style. It was efficient, brisk, and no-frills. The dishes that were available had that familiar comfort and authenticity, which I appreciated. Dim Sumlicious is a decent spot if you're craving a more pared-down, throwback dim sum experience. Just be sure to manage your expectations. read more

We used to go to China Town for Dim Sum but my husband and son wanted to try this restaurant. We live on the Southeast side and had a bit of a drive, but we will do it again! There was plenty of parking and we were greeted with smiles and seated immediately. It's not a fancy place but there were plenty of tables and it was clean . It was after one when we arrived and they were fairly busy. I let my husband and son do the ordering and they didn't disappoint. Everything that arrived was delicious. There was only one item that wasn't available. The dishes came out quickly with a smile. We were impressed with how friendly everyone was. I liked that they had a poster in front of their counter with pictures of the dishes. read more

Visited from LA and suddenly craved for some dimsum so gave this spot a try. We ordered take out. 8 orders came out to be around $60 with tax. Their dimsum dishes range from $5-$8 per order. We got some of the classic dimsum dishes like shu mai, ha gow, chicken feet, egg tarts, bbq pork bun, rice rolls, beef tripes, etc. the bbq pork bun has onions in them which is a little odd. The bbq pork rice roll has a strange sandy taste. I've had a fair share of rice rolls in my life and this is probably the strangest one...The rest of the dishes are ok. We stopped by when they first opened at 9am on a weekday and waited for 55 minutes for our order to be ready. Not sure why it took that long! read more

This is our most preferred dimsum place amongst almost all the dimsum in the valley. We like it here because there's an aura of a small quaint mom's & pop's atmosphere. It's small, maybe 10 tables, yet not cramped. Majority of the customers are locals & regulars like us. Everything on the menu are usually fresh & made to order. Service is fast, efficient & courteous. We usually start with the piping hot tea & the first order of congee. The congee is tasty & not thick nor watery but just enough. The chicken feet is tender & soft yet still chewy. There's usually 3 good sized feet with slices of jalapeños. The shrimp har gow is also a favorite with its . translucent, delicate wrapper and juicy shrimp filling. Dipping it in the soy sauce chili paste mixture gives it an extra taste boost. The gailan, Chinese broccoli, is a staple too, bringing balance to the nutritional value of our foods. So if you want a less crowded place to enjoy delicious freshly made dimsum peacefully, visit here. read more

Dimsum in Las Vegas, Nevada... My sister and my niece wanted dimsum for breakfast, so I used my Yelp app to find Dim Sumlicious! I liked the name of the place and I saw a review by my trusted friend, Lyla D. With a 4-star average rating, I felt confident about dining at Dim Sumlicious. It also helped that Chinese-speaking customers were sitting in the cozy, old school restaurant with us! Service was efficient and polite. We got refills of tea by placing the cover of our teapot at an angle. We ordered by checking off boxes on our menu. Then, the food came quickly! Everything was delicious: shrimp dumplings, taro cake, Steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf, bean curd roll, steamed shrimp and chives dumplings, custard tart, baked sweet cream bun, and pork dumplings. I think the best item was the custard tart because of the flakey crisp crust!!! I appreciated the convenient restroom and free shared parking! Too bad they were out of the coconut cream bun - that's my niece's favorite! My sister paid at the cashier's desk. It was very reasonably priced! Thank you! read more

Can't go wrong with Dim Sum. Smaller restaurant but it does fill up with locals that's how you know you at the right place.

Hole in the wall restaurant located in a LV Chinatown strip mall with free parking. Don't expect ambiance, don't expect any unique items, but do expect affordable "mainstay" dim sum items that will satisfy that dim sum urge. Typical Siu Mai, Pan Fried Chive Dumpling, no Har Guow, no Baked Salted Egg Cream Bun on the midday Wednesday that we went....strange.... Cheap but if you're on vacay, I suggest splurging a little and going elsewhere for a more memorable experience. If you're local, this place is an affordable mainstay. read more

Absolutely delicious! Very small, Mom and Pop place. I'm so glad my friends recommended

Dim Sumlicious is a no frills dim sum spot in Chinatown. It is the epitome of a hole in the wall. It is very bare bones with minimal ambiance or decor. There are no carts here, you order from a menu that you do check marks on. The menu is pretty small for a dim sum spot but they have all the signature dishes you'd expect and a few other unique ones. I would say prices are fair. They make everything to order since there's no carts. The menu is only dim sum. Don't expect to order non dim sum items like stir fries. I will say I actually like the food here a lot. The staff is very kind but they could definitely upkeep cleanliness a bit more. My favorite dishes here are their chicken feet and they have a Chinese donut dish that's wrapped in a rice roll. It is delicious! I have gone a couple times now and it does hit the spot. I think I'll always go to Orchid or New Asian BBQ first by instinct but this is a good alternative read more

Good tasting Dim Sum for a decent price (much lower than Vegas Strip). No dim sum carts, no display, pick from a menu and they will heat up and bring to you. Plenty of space inside to dine in or take out. Ample parking lot spaces out front as driving is probably a must due to location away from Vegas Strip. read more

Dim Sumlicious - Baked Roast Port Bun, Beef Rice Noodle Roll, Turnip Cake. - Dim Sum Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I searched Yelp for dim sum and we decided on this restaurant. It was located in a strip mall with easy parking. The menu was limited to dim sum and we ordered by checking off items on a paper menu. There were no carts to see what you'd be getting. We ordered siu mai, har gow, sticky rice in lotus leaf, fried shrimp with sugar cane, steamed pork ribs, taro cakes, and custard tarts for dessert. Everything was fresh and the spareribs were especially good. They charge $1.25 per person for tea. Glad that we stopped in for lunch. The restaurant was clean and service was pleasant. Not a lot of tables, which was ok with us as we were seated promptly during a weekday. Prices were comparable to LA. read more

Listen to the reviews about closing early. We got here at 3pm and she said sorry we're closed even though the doors were open. Lucky we didn't pay for an uber down here. Waste of time driving this far from the strip. read more

My Wife was craving for Chicken Feet and so I found this spot off the strip! It's a small place, not the nicest ambiance but the food is really good! The food took a while to come out but every time something came out it was hot & delicious! Probably one of the best Dim Sum places I've had in a while! I would definitely give this place 5 stars cuz of the food but decided to give them 4 Stars because of the service. This place has the potential to be one of those amazing hole in the wall restaurants but I just wished their servers were more polite and accommodating. One of the server looked pissed to be working there and whenever we asked for rice she would get mad and roll her eyes? haha but because the food was good, we tolerated her. The Chicken Feet was really good, Shumai, Shrimp Dumplings, Salt & Pepper Calamari and Shrimp were delicious as well! Will definitely satisfy those Dim Sum cravings! read more

Writing this as I sit upon my porcelain throne dealing with the after effects of the food I ate from this dim sum joint. Bruh what's up with this spot it's hellaaaa wack. Not even mid. Nothin hits right here. Their chinese broccoli was over steamed. Taro puffs were double fried in old grease n had a sour after taste hinting it's gone bad so we stopped eating them. Turnip cake was refried n rerocked in the pan after how many days of sittin around? Ugh! Even their water was bad. Ur gonna need a really strong stomach to stomach this food. Also clear out ur schedule for the day. If u really must eat here, I'd stick to just the steamed items which felt safer to eat like the har gow n siu mai but even these aren't worth just coming here for. read more

The dim sum here is delicious! It appears to be handmade (as it should be). It hit the spot!

When visiting Vegas, it can be tough to find an affordable and filling meal. The trick is: getting away from the Strip. Dim Sumlicious is about 10-15 minutes west of the Strip in Chinatown (which is really more of an Asian Town than specifically Chinese but I digress). They offer up a vast array of tasty and affordable bites that are more filling than you may think. Between two people, 4 items were plenty to share. My personal fav was probably the salt and pepper fried squid but, honestly, everything was delicious. The place isn't fancy but who cares? It tastes good. Service was fast and friendly and it felt good to get away from the hustle and bustle. read more

I love dim sum, and my annual Christmas Eve tradition is Dim Sum. I called while waiting over an hour at another restaurant asking for the wait. The person on the phone said she could take us right now, so we rushed over. The service was quick, the dim sum was good, and we all left full and happy. Recommend for a low key dim sum. The larger tables had a Lazy Susan, I would have liked that option as well because our table was so full. read more

I was trying to find a new dim sum place around Chinatown and saw this location had 4 stars. Man was I disappointed. A lot of menu items unavailable. Why did I end up waiting 40 minutes for my beef rice paper roll only for it to taste sour and look undercooked?? We had asked about it once after all other orders were served and we ate them...the server was unhelpful. After waiting so long, he did not even have an apology. The most painful part was that the wait was not worth the poor quality food. The chicken feet and chive dumplings were decent, as well as other orders. Won't be back unfortunately. read more

Have been passing by this location for a long time but today was my first time with take out. The ambiance is bare minimum but hey we are feeding our stomach and not to gawk at Mona Lisa... Marked my order and was out the door in 10 minutes even when the restaurants was 2/3 full. For the price of each item -affordable but what really wow me was after reaching home and tasting the har gow, siew mai, chicken feet, turnip cake, lotus leaf rice, sweet cream bun plus baked bbq buns. For the price, the items were delicious, fresh, and good portion. Compared to other pricey restaurants, i would now return again and again. If one is looking for good quality and affordable -this is it if one likes ambiance and good quality and enjoy paying double the price. The choice is yours. Many hole in the wall turns out to be a gem... this is one such hole read more

This little tucked-away dim sum spot was a delightful find while looking for a quick bite after a long day at work. I spied their cute little store sign while driving by and decided to stop for a take out order of shumai, hargow, beef cheong fun and chicken feet. The lady who took my order was friendly, and a delight to chat with as she bustled around preparing my order, and shouting back and forth with another unseen lady in the kitchen. (I'm of the opinion that an authentic Chinese restaurant experience is incomplete without people shouting from the kitchen, lol) No Chinese aunties with carts here, but honestly, it's too little of a restaurant for there to be enough room for anyone to try to maneuver a cart around anyhow. And it doesn't even matter because the food in my order was piping hot and clearly freshly made. So much so that everything was still perfectly warm and juicy after a 20 minute drive home. The shumai and hargow were plump and juicy, and flavored just right where any added sauces weren't necessary, and the beef cheong fun was soft, lightly chewy and generously sized. The chicken feet was just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth tender, without being mushy or overly seasoned, as can sometimes happen with this dish. If their other dim sum offerings are of the same quality as what I ordered, you can bet I'll be visiting this place again. read more

Food here is legit! Hole in the wall spot with about 10 tables. Place opened at 9am which is the earliest I've seen a dim sum place open. You know it's good when you see Asians eating at a dim sum spot. Here is what we ordered. BBQ baked pork buns- my favorite, sweet, flavorful, light bun Egg noodles- second favorite. Noodles with green onions and bean sprouts Pan fried chive cake- pork and cover pan fried dumpling. Good flavor and juicy inside with a crispy outside Chinese broccoli- standard, a Little over cooked in my opinion and lacked the garlic chips Shrimp hargo- just average Salt and pepper calamari- light and crispy batter served with jalapeños. The salty seasoning was delicious. Shu Mai- delicious and juicy Food came out fast and service was good. read more
