Always love to come for dimsum during lunch time. It's really busy so come early or late, avoid the rush time. Authentic dimsum experience with carts, people shouting and narrow walkways. Be prepared to order food away once you get your table. Fresh ingredients, quick service. Definitely recommend shrimp dumplings, shu mai, radish cake. read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + Solid and delicious dim sum. All of the dishes we tried were all very good - Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Roll, Chicken Feet, Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Tripe, Spring Rolls, Mini Egg Tarts, Coconut Jelly Pudding. + Good dim sum variety, although it did feel like they were circling with the same foods over and over again. + Decent size restaurant with a lot of tables. + Big private parking lot. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Baked Roast Pork Buns ran out at around 1:30 PMish on Saturday afternoon and they told us they weren't making anymore when the restaurant was still packed with customers. Go figure. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = They employ the traditional dim sum carts here, no ordering sheets like more modern restaurants. = Arrived at 12:40 PM on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. = Restaurant was STILL fully packed when we left at around 2:15 PM. read more

Went specifically for dim sum cart service on Saturday. Crowded, but wait moved quickly. Food ok, but not great. Selection not as advertised. Didn't get to choose from different dishes, rather too many similar. Not impressed with cleanliness, especially rest rooms. read more

I love a good dimsum place! The Saturday I went for lunch, there were people waiting out the door, but the host sat us shortly after we checked in. The ambience is bright red and gold, and I love that they still serve the dimsum in carts. The food was so yummy - no complaints at all. My favorite dishes were the custard egg buns, the tripe, and the rice porridge. My husband really liked their rice rolls with shrimp. The staff was attentive, and I liked the taste of their tea! All in all, it's a great vibe in here - lots of happy customers, and the food is delicious! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 First time trying dim sum in Central Jersey and pleasantly surprised! The quality holds up pretty well compared to NYC spots. Big plus: generous portion sizes, especially if you order stir-fried dishes. Highlights: Beef Chow Fun 4.5/5: Huge portion with great wok hei (charred flavor) Shrimp Rice Roll 4.5/5: Super fresh and silky Tripe 4.25/5: Classic tripe, nicely seasoned, good texture Siu Mai 3.5/5: Decent, but didn't taste super fresh Har Gow 3/5: Filling was good but the wrapper lacked freshness Tofu Skin Roll 2.5/5: Least favorite - texture and flavor fell flat Overall, a solid dim sum spot worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

- Spacious dining room with a mix of seating arrangements--some tables a bit tight, others more spread out; traditional dim sum atmosphere with a steady weekend crowd - Large parking lot, but it fills up fast during peak brunch hours; we arrived at 12:40 PM on a Saturday and waited about 15-20 minutes with a few groups ahead - Efficient and quick service, though you'll need to be a little assertive to flag someone down; the staff is always on the move; the classic push carts (plus a few tray-carrying servers) add a nostalgic touch - Limited but solid selection of dim sum--you have your usual shu mai, har gow, rice rolls, and chicken feet; completely ran out of baked pork buns and had to wait for the next round of egg tarts; flavors were good, food was hot and fresh, portions were fair - Reasonable pricing overall, especially for current times--that said, we noticed a billing error after leaving--an $11 "K" item charged instead of the $7 "E" dish we actually had--hopefully just an honest mistake, but something to watch for - Would I come back, but I'd double-check the bill next time read more

My wife's family love Hop Kee in Chinatown NYC and they never believed me that they all pretty much taste the same because it was a few uncles that taught other uncles how to make the same food. We usually come here for Dimsum on weekends usually once a quarter. lately we've been coming here for dinner where we have an Noah Ark's feast. we usually order a salt pepper pork, a roast duck, a chicken dish, a steamed fish like a flounder, my work place associates love coming here only if I can order for them. read more

Dare I say it: the food here, in Jersey, might be better than the Cantonese food you'll find in the melting pot of NYC. I've dined here for dim sum breakfast countless times on Sunday mornings, along with the multitude of families that are looking for quality cheung fun & baos in NJ. The dim sum was fresh, flavorful, had a great variety & this location is one of the few that I've been to that still has dishes pushed out on carts, with ample space to actually get through the entire restaurant. This is the benefit of being in Jersey & having space I suppose! More recently my family has dined in for dinner to celebrate the new year. While most days driving past the restaurant the parking lot is empty, it was definitely busy for the holiday. This is important to note since I'm sure this restaurant isn't used to an influx of diners / a busy dinner service, so if you notice that there are a few tables dining with you during your visit, it might take a bit longer to get your meal. The phrase "good food takes time" comes into play though, because our wait was well worth it. After trying a variety of dishes, we ultimately came to the conclusion that the food had so much flavor and constantly compared it to the restaurants in NYC. There's no competition here -- DimSum Seafood Restaurant definitely won by a landslide. A standout dish that took us by surprise was the teriyaki steak - a dish where the meat took no effort to chew and had an incredible sauce that wasn't overly sweet. The chrysanthemum tea provided with our meal was a fun surprise as well, something most restaurants don't serve unless you ask for it! The food here is family style so expect big portions and lots of sharing with your table. With the portions being huge and meant for sharing, it does mean it will take longer to prepare & they do not wait to bring all food out at once. This is typical with Cantonese restaurants and so important to remember prior to dining here. The staff was all extremely attentive, constantly checking in with my family to ensure all our food arrived and swiftly refilling beverages when we were running low. As with any Chinese restaurant, it can get quite noisy when dining in (with both patrons and staff yelling to overpower the surrounding noise) -- but that makes the experience even more fun! The family can't stop raving about this hidden gem, located in a neighborhood that isn't primarily Chinese dominated and not surrounded by other Asian restaurants/stores. One bite of the food here & you'll be hooked as well! read more

I know looking for a Chinese restaurant can be tricky. It's really hard to trust people's rating. Now, here are the couple of ways to know this place is legit! Mostly all the customers are Asian and gotta be loud. Also, you can smell good food as soon as you open the door. Now, I been coming here for years! This place never seems to disappoint. Food is always delicious. You can tell the chef been cooking there for years. If you don't understand or don't know what to order. The staff there are always friendly and helpful. They do have DimSum on the weekend for lunch but I prefer coming here for the dinner. Hope this helps you. Enjoy! read more

I was not ready for this place. The food is great. The chicken skin is so crisp that you would think it was fried and not baked. The soup dumplings were so tasty and meaty and juicy and goodness. . The service is ok but they don't speak much English. The place is very lively and people really enjoy the food. Now I'm taking a star off because the it's not the cleanest place. The carpeting needs to go. read more

We have been coming to place for years with the family. The ambiance gives traditional chinese old school dim sum feel. We usually come only for dim sum and service is quick. The workers pushing around the carts with the food and customers pick what they want. Food is good but some items come more on the undercooked side. I never got around to write a review about this place. This is one of our top 5 favorite Dim sum spot restaurants. read more

DimSum Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Woodbridge Township, New Jersey

Good authentic Cantonese style push cart dim sum. Many places in NYC doing away with push cart and it is still a tradition here. The anxiety of waiting and seeing the cart arrive can be stressful for some. But it's an enjoyable experience to eat slowly and order items as they come. Some of my favorite items are still here but some are no longer being made. Overall quality as of late is consistent and good. Even better than majority of places in NYC. You still have the experience of a very raw, noisy, and busy service experience where loud dish stacking and dropping noises and people laughing and talking. That is the kind of atmosphere the community expects. read more

This place is a little out of the way for me and my family, but we continue to come back because we think it's the best in the area. Clearly everyone else does too because it gets PACKED, so make sure to come early! The environment is the perfect amount of chaotic for a dimsum place with the rolling carts, which is really nice since you get the see the food as you order it. The food is always really good! My personal dimsum favorites are the deep fried taro dumpling (with a savory pork/mushroom filling), egg tarts, and the salted egg yolk bun. My only complaint with this place is that they don't always have everything, like they have egg tarts maybe 50% of the times we've gone. read more

2025 and this Dim Sum Spot is the place to eat for Authentic Chinese Cuisine. It's all about the Food & Portions. You will leave with a full stomach. The price is reasonable; won't break your wallet. It's an old fashion restaurant, don't expect to see high tech devices/ technology or modern scenery/ decorations. Plenty of parking . It's roomy . The service is at their own pace. When the food is ready , it serviced fresh steam appetizer dishes. The majority of customers are senior citizens. They eat and socialize for a good 2 hrs. That's why service is at slow pace . Not Bad for a Dim Sum in NJ. read more

This is still the best Dim Sum place in North NJ in my opinion. The dim sum items are fresh and delicious. Lots of cart and trays go around the restaurant, so never a long wait time before we get our items. Prices are decent. Dining area is huge, but very congested when it's full house. We got the shrimp dumplings, shu mai, beef tripe, sticky rice, rice dough, all these items were excellent. Their chili sauce makes the meal even better. The service is still good. Staff are friendly and do their best with serving items from the cart. We drive almost an hour to dine here, that's how much we adore this place :p read more

Want to feel the vibe of Chinatown in Avenel NJ, well try to dine in at DimSum Seafood Restaurant. You need not to go to Downtown Manhattan to taste the authentic and delicious dimsum in a wide variety of choices. The food was great, from the hot and sour soup to dimsum to the main course. Their Roasted duck was really good and cooked perfectly and served with a nice soft bread. Service was not appealing coz the servers don't speak English and you will think whether they do understand or not what you ordered. Cleanliness is also a bit of an issue and should be addressed seriously. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the restaurant in terms of the quality of food. The service and cleanliness should be worked on though but I will still go back here and try other list on their menu. read more

I made reservations three weeks in advance for a party of 27, plus a toddler and a baby, for 6pm. One week prior, I confirmed with the restaurant, and they assured me we'd have two large tables that could comfortably seat 12-14 people each, with ample space for a high chair and the baby. On 3/8, we arrived promptly at 6pm, only to find the tables we were promised were occupied by other customers. The waiter (a shorter gentleman) offered us two round tables that seat 8-10 people each--nowhere near enough for our party of 27, plus two children. When I raised this concern, he told me, "If you want the large tables, you'll have to wait outside until they're done. These tables seat 12 each. If you don't like it, you'll have to wait outside." A lady at the front desk witnessed this exchange and did nothing--zero customer service. Eventually, we spoke with the person in charge, who was apologetic and arranged suitable seating. Thankfully, we were then served by a different waiter (a tall, middle-aged gentleman) who took great care of us. While the food here is better than at a few other restaurants, the customer service from the wait staff is appalling, and there was little effort to correct their mistake. This was supposed to be a happy occasion for my family and extended family, some of whom were experiencing Chinese culture and a family meal together for the first time. To make matters worse, at the end of the meal, we were told they had run out of dessert soup. Later, we learned this wasn't true--my cousin, dining at the opposite end of the restaurant and arriving after us, was served the dessert soup after we had been told there was none left. Our dinner bill was over $1,400. Despite the deplorable service, I still gave a 20% tip and gave the nicer waiter a red envelope for good luck in the new year. We will not be returning customers, not that they seem to care. By the way, be careful when you pull into their parking lot. It is full of large, deep potholes. Watch where you are walking, uneven pavement and ankle-breaking potholes. read more

The quality was as good as Brooklyn before, we will drive an hour and half to come here. Now it's just ok still better than flushing dim sum. The fried egg rolls were very greasy. The only thing i like best is salty egg York bun. The restaurant is very old, including the tables chair... dirty restrooms. Hope they will have some renovations read more

This is a classic Chinese restaurant that doesn't really care what Yelp says... no matter what, it'll retain its steady clientele of Chinese locals (including my family!), which is like 95% of their business. The classic Chinese fare is solid. The servers are exactly who you want in a place like this; a motley crew of older Chinese folk who are brusque but kind, and who mostly speak various Chinese dialects. It's a large banquet hall with a gold-and-red stage backdrop for anyone who might want to throw a party there. There are live seafood tanks, dingy bathrooms, and a big private parking lot. The menu helpfully has pictures of a large subset of their hundreds of dishes. read more

One of my favorite dimsum restaurants in NJ. I love dimsum and had been disappointed by a few of the places I've tried in NJ. Then I tried this place and it has been in my rotation ever since. I must've been here 5-6 times already and the food is always good & consistent. Pro tip, come here when it opens on the weekends (10am) in order to avoid the crowd and long wait. Made the mistake of coming here at 11ish and had to wait for 20 min! The food is always hot and fresh if you get here early. My personal favorites are the fried taro dumplings, the rice roll with beef and the congee. Prices are consistent with bother dimsum places and can definitely sneak up on you with the amount of dishes you order. However, it's totally worth it for the delicious food! read more

Came here on a weekend to get dim sum. It was pretty crowded and had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. The inside looked like your normal dim sum spot with lots of tables in an open space. This thing I thought this restaurant could improve on was their service. The carts didn't seem to rotate around the restaurant that fast. They seem to have one steam cart and one cart with dry/fried food. The food in the steam cart was nice and fresh. We tried the chicken feet and pork ribs. Both were flavorful and tender. From the dry/dry cart we tried the radish cake and taro stuffed with pork. Those items seemed to be sitting for a while as they were not warm. Lastly we tried the shrimp chueng fun. The noodle was a little overcooked. Overall I might come here again because despite some of the food being just okay, the prices were very reasonable. Maybe I have to come a little earlier to get fresher food? read more

Good food, good service at a reasonable price. 4 ppl for brunch was $101. Lots of Chinese people in a Chinese restaurant is always a good sign to me. I only did the shrimp Dumplins and vegetables but the other ppl in my party said the deed and pork was great. Will definitely visit again. read more

The portions are huge! Very American of them. Value for the money for sure! Best part though is the food is amazing. The chef(s) has got to be Cantonese bc the flavors are there. The clams were not the freshest and on the salty side, but har gow are on point. The push cart ladies are a bit pushy but are correct 98% of the time. It is damn good. The decor is definitely lacking and maybe I missed it but I did not see any fish tanks. They could use a house chili oil, but I would most definitely recommend and come back even after that 1.5hr drive. read more

DimSum Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Yum! - Dim Sum Near Me - Woodbridge Township, New Jersey

Made my hubby drive to this Dimsum place because people have been telling me that it's good. Arrived there, lots of people, was given a number written on a piece of paper and was told to wait outside. Wait was not bad and a few minutes later, we were called was seated on a table good for six people. I thought we were going to share the table with other people---thank God they didn't! Since it's a Dimsum place, carts were supposed to roam around with food and you'll choose what you'd want to eat...servers will then stamped the paper you have on your table and move on. I GOT HUNGRY! Why? Servers were not speaking in English and we couldn't understand each other. We were given two types of Dimsum and then for the next few minutes--we had to beg them to come and show us food Not going back there anymore not unless I learn all the Dimsum names and please, please...if you're paying cash---DO NOT FORGET TO TIP! Or they're going to go after you! read more

While visiting the area we passed this restaurant several times and finally decided to stop and try it out. This spot is very reminiscent of the old dim sum houses one would find in Flushing, NY. A very large restaurant with many large family sized tables. The prices are extremely fair and the food portions and quality are very good. My only real criticism of this fine establishment would be that the dim sum menu formthe evening is truncated a lot. Many of the dim sums I would normally order were not available during dinner. That being said, the food I was served was scrumptious and plentiful. The lobster in black bean sauce, Hong Kong style was very tasty and all the dumpling dishes I sampled were equally delicious . read more

Finally got to come here with my sister. I always passed this place thinking it was abandoned! We got here exactly at 11:30. When you walk in it looks like your typical dim sum place. Big space, big tables, waiters/waitresses everywhere. We got sat fast. Dim sum from Mon-Fri has its own menu. On weekends there are carts. They also have a regular menu where you can order dishes. As for the dim sum menu, you out how many you want in the box. We got our food pretty fast. We were definitely ordering with our eyes because we got full real fast. We ordered - spring rolls, shrimp shu mai, shrimp dumplings, turnip cake, eggplant with shrimp, yam dumplings, fish cake balls, hagaw, sesame balls, salted egg buns All were really good!! I didn't expect the dumplings to be so big. When I use to go to dim sum places in NYC the dumplings were 1 biters. I appreciate the size and the prices. I would definitely ale another trip here! read more

We go to this restaurant often and usually it is pretty good. This time it is a total disaster! First of all, almost no taste in any of the dishes - there is little salt! I suspect the dishes were done by new cook or someone very inexperienced although we were told it was the regular chef. Second we ordered a live fish which costed over $100, but I can be almost sure that the one served us is not the live one we paid for. The meat of the fish is dry and fibrous. It is most likely some previously dead fish kept in the refrigerator for a while. Not sure if this is the restaurant doing or the chef doing. Restaurants doing such things will soon lose their credibility. If this is the chef doing I hope the owner can handle it quickly. Third, even a very basic dish, Peking pork chop， is dry and tasteless( it used to be very good). It is not easy to find a good restaurant and I hope the restaurant owner can see this and fix the problems. read more
