Ginger Dim Sum is like a spa for your senses. Upon entering, you are promptly greeted with smiling faces, beautiful decor, soothing music, and the aroma of good food. Our party of 3 was seated at a comfortable booth and our request for oolong tea and iced water was quickly filled. The menu is extensive but we had no problem choosing. Who could not resist the colorful dim sum platter which looked like a bouquet of flowers served in a traditional bamboo steamer? The exquisitely prepared dumplings tasted as good as they looked. My mother relished her bowl of shrimp wonton soup. The wontons were so large that she cut them into bite-sized portions on a small plate! She also ordered the vegetable fried rice which was impressive, filled with very fresh pieces of broccoli and other veggies. My sister had the bowl of seafood tom yum soup and loved it. With medium spice, it was perfect for her taste. The bowl is huge so expect to take half of it home! I've always been interested in Singapore noodles so that is what I ordered, and was not disappointed. The shrimp were plentiful and the medium-spiced curry sauce was delightful. Thanks to generous portions, all 3 of us will be enjoying leftovers the next day. Do yourself a favor and come out for this restaurant. If you like fresh, excellently prepared Cantonese-style food that is beautifully presented by a helpful staff, and that is a good value for the money, you need to treat yourself to a meal here at Ginger Dim Sum. We'll be coming back. read more

All we do is watch Dim Sum on YouTube! It looks so good and we decided to try some today. Dave's not at as adventuresome as I. So he ordered the dim sum platter which consisted of five types of different dumplings. I tried to make him choose something else from the extensive dim sum menu. I added the spare ribs dim sum. We both had a pot of tea, his jasmine and mine green. He was still hungry and ordered the Barbecue platter with bone in ribs and roast duck. I prefer ribs to duck! It was very good. The restaurant is immaculate and service excellent. Our server checked on us many times to make sure everything was perfect. Next time, I will try some of the other dishes that I like turnip cake and shrimp with eggplant dim sum. The menu is large and there is a lovely assortment of dishes to order. Glad we decided to try something different! read more

Ahhh dim sum after Thanksgiving! So what do you do when you're recovering from a Thanksgiving feast coma? Dim sum of course! With us celebrating Thanksgiving at mom and dad's in Punta Gorda, all 11 of us trekked here post-turkey day for a family lunch. Being here reminded me of the childhood days of having dim sum as a family after a holiday or special event. Only thing missing was the push carts that we could pick the dishes ourselves! Nevertheless, the food is delicious and priced affordably. We ordered all the classic dim sum dishes which included the pork shu mai, pan fried pork buns, shrimp dumpling, spinach shrimp dumpling, steamed beef rice roll, and pan fried turnip cake. Also added the beef chow fun, lo mein combo, and the crispy peking duck. Every item was straight up fire and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. We were surprised there were no pancake rolls with the duck and instead were given the soft bao buns; but everyone ate those and probably secretly liked that version better! Even the kids ate everything on their plates (thank god)! Service is fast and the people here speak fluent chinese so you know the food here is legit! Super glad this is in Port Charlotte; this will definitely be part of our rotation when we go out for lunch/dinner! read more

We enjoyed our dinner here. The service was great, quick and friendly. We tried the Mongolian Beef and Mango Shrimp. We both upgraded to brown rice for $1.75 each. Both dishes were served hot as was the rice. Portions were good sized and priced fairly. Only two negatives, Dim Sum is only served at lunch unless you want a 10 count of set types which is offered at dinner and the cost of upgrading to brown rice was higher than we have experienced at our restaurants. We will go back for lunch so we can try the Dim Sum. read more

I smelled ginger and soy sauce as soon as we walked in the door. We ordered some dim sum, Peking duck, seafood udon, and beef fried rice. Everything was delicious, packed with meat and vegetables. The fried rice was outstanding, absolutely loaded with beef and tons of veggies. read more

I have been planning on trying Ginger Dim Sum since I heard they opened. Finally, one Saturday, Mom and I decided to go for lunch. We got there right at opening and the employees greeted us right away. Our service was amazing as was the food. She was attentive, friendly and warm. The food was reasonably priced. The ambience was welcoming and inviting. We will definitely be back. By the time we left 45 minutes later, the place was filling up so apparently this must be a great spot to go to, if it's that busy and popular during off-season. read more

It's so hard to find a restaurant that has a nice selection if Dim Sum. I saw this in Yelp and had to check out their menu. I arrived at 5 only to find out the full Dim Sum menu only runs 11-3...BUT they have a dim Sum sampler and Ginger Soup Buns on their appetizers menu. I ordered both and some spring rolls. The sampler came with 5 different items beef sumai, chicken sumai, shrimp bun, a cilantro something and one other you get 2 of each. The Ginger Soup Buns came as 5z Everything was So good!!! Server was very nice and attentive. . read more

Ginger Dim Sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

We got take out because it was Friday in season in Florida so I thought it might be crowded and I was tired. I had read about every review and knew what I wanted. The Yang Chow fried rice was good and colorful. The lo mein with shrimp and vegetables was cooked well, but the vegetables and protein here were minimal. It was almost as if they have a measuring cup to add the good stuff that makes the dish and they said, " nah, it's to go, just cut back. So I really give it a 3.5 but want to go in and sit down and see if you get a touch more than just a ton of noodles. They were tasty noodles but for 35.39 I can do it better at home. read more

I've wanted an Asian restaurant that you could sit down in a very nice dining area. Where I come from it was common. The food was awesome and the service was very nice. My husband and kids went here when I was not able to. They all enjoyed the experience. Try it ! You will not be disappointed read more

Another great experience! Went for the Dim Sum lunch specials; left with a full belly ! Started off with Dim sum and Crispy pork belly. That bbq sauce they serve with the pork belly was so unique & perfectly paired. The fried pork and vegetable bun was my favorite, the texture was like a bao bun. The almonds also made the shrimp ball very crispy and nutty! Can't wait to go back and try new dishes! The Mongolian beef was the BEST we've ever had. The mango chicken was very light and refreshing- we think it would be even better if the chicken was battered and fried - like they do the orange chicken! Bistro Lo mein wasn't pictured- but still MY FAVORITE HANDS DOWN! Don't forget to get some hot oolong tea! I think it's the Perfect pallet refresher! read more

Off the charts great food. The prices went up so we don't go as much. Always fast service too read more

So happy to have a dim sum close to home. You order your dim sum from a list that they give you & you just write the number of how many u want. They don't do the traditional where they push the cart around and u look at each dish that u potentially want. We also order calamari and snow peas leaf to go with our dim sum and we haven't had disappointment yet. read more

In the mood for something different found Ginger Dim Sum / Asian BBQ on yelp with some really good reviews don't know until you try it so here we go.

I have been at several dim sum restaurants and this takes the cake absolutely fresh correctly prepared and full of flavors very impressed with my meal and service. positively one of the best dim sum / Asian BBQ a must try highly recommended.

Going to start my saying, I have had authentic chinese food. Grew up and lived in NYC for most of my life and this restaurant does not serve authentic Chinese food. I doubt the cook is Chinese. I was craving Chinese food and after trying multiple Chinese food restaurants for 11years while living here, I have given up hope for the SWFL area and maybe all of FL. Started with an appetizer and ordered scallion pancake. I was so excited to try this because in NYC, they're light, crispy and flavorful with scallion. When I tasted the one here, it was a HUGE disappointment. It should be listed on the menu as pancake because there was hardly any scallion (you had to closely look and the few pieces were tiny) in the pancake. Essentially, I had fried dough. Proceeded to order peppered steak & onions with brown rice and it was not great. Even before eating the brown rice, I could tell it wasn't fresh and my taste buds verified it. My partner ordered a dish in a clay pot which tasted better (fresher including the veggies) because it was actually made ready when ordered. So in summary, if you're desperate, order a clay pot dish here. I am giving it 2 stars because the waitress was nice and really tried. read more

Coming from the NE, it's difficult to find good Chinese food. Thus restaurant is A1. So similar to what I've always had in Boston. Summer is a fabulous server and always there to please. Love it read more

Ordered clams and scallop meal, clams had hard stuff in them (only ate 4 before deciding I was grossed out enough to stop giving it a second chance) scallops and shrimp tasted old and rubbery and somehow like they were cooked in dirty marsh water. We had ordered other food (appetizers) which was mediocre at best and also cooked poorly. The waitress proceeded to full on argue with us when we asked for the main entrees to be taken off the bill because we WERE NOT EATING IT, she lied and said she was the manager after we had requested one and then told us she "can't return the meal just because we are white and don't like Asian spice" and "well you ate half of this one already so no" (pictured below of when I got the meal and then when I had asked for it to be taken off the bill) It was explained to her multiple times that the sauce/spice was not the problem and we eat seafood very frequently. Only one meal had been taken off the bill (reluctantly and after about 10 minutes of literal arguing). Absolutely disgusted with how we were treated and that I was forced to pay for an untouched meal. If I could give this place negative stars I would. (updated response) I would like to add that we are not dumb and did not try to eat the clams with the shells on them ??? lol this place is unbelievable, the scallops dish had two bites taken out of it and was just basically moved around while we decided if we wanted to speak up about it or not... which you can see in the photos attached to this review. read more

These folks are mainly getting 5 stars for their crispy eggplant - seriously one of the greatest things ever. Also, the walnut shrimp was amazing! We also had the veggie fried rice and cuttlefish. The fried rice was fine, good but basic. The cuttlefish was very chewy, but I think that's more due to the type of fish vs how they prepared it. The restaurant was clean and smelled great when we entered. The staff was nice and provided good service. Again, not amazing but good for sure. But seriously - go for the eggplant. read more

I have been wanting to try Ginger Dim Sum for a while. We went tonight and it was Extremely disappointing. I have to believe the four and five star reviews are from family because although the service is polite, they are not helpful. I said I needed some suggestions and the response was a smile. I went with the fried eggplant for an appetizer because I saw it mentioned here. It was fine but plain. I ordered Kung Pao Shrimp and it was flavorful but too salty. I had to request a side of rice separately to make it palatable. Husband got chicken lettuce wraps. They were good but he had to pay for an additional four pieces of lettuce . He also ordered the crab corn soup and it tasted like a can of cream corn heated up . One and Done. Yelp friends beware. read more

My friend requested some Chicken Fried Rice so I checked Yelp for the best Asian food in Port Charlotte. Fried Rice isn't the best gauge of a restaurant. Who could mess that up? I didn't try it but my friend who seems to be a fried rice connoisseur said it was good. He said it had lots of chicken. I don't rely on his taste buds but he knows what he likes. I ordered the Chicken Lo Mein. The flavor was different from other lo meins that I have had in the past. Not really good but not really bad. The prices were high but not out of the ordinary. The portions were substantial. Takeout order read more

I ordered a clay pot curry dish last night and I do not believe there was a drop of curry in my dish and it had no flavor. The waiter was new and inattentive. The other dishes ordered at our table were too salty and also lacked flavor. I can cook chinese food with flavor better than this. Waste of my money for the quality of food. Interesting there are 5 star reviews and I really have a hard time giving a 1 star. Never going back. read more

Our family is from New York City and has been eating in NYC Chinatown for decades. This place is better than most of the ones we used to eat at! Everything is cooked to order and fresh - perfectly cooked! Highlight dishes - duck (perfectly seasoned, juicy, with the crispiest skin), eggplant (both the appetizer and dim sum versions are mindblowing), pea shoots, and all the dumplings! Highly recommend for an authentic experience. They also have traditional clay pot dishes read more

One if the better Chinese restaurants in the area. Very good dumplings, food is not particularly spicy on their spicy dishes

I am very excited my husband found this place. We came around 11 to have dim sum. We never thought we would have a dim sum place so closed to home. I ordered our usual; chicken feet, pan fried turnip cake, spring rolls, and roast pork buns. I was sad they didn't have the beef honeycomb so I ordered the shumai and the steam spare ribs. I also ordered a HK wonton soup. The wonton soup was good. The husband and I both like the taste of the clear broth. The spring rolls were a bit bland (lacked ingredients) to the husband. The turnip cake was a bit softer than other restaurants according to my husband, I agree but I don't think it's too soft at all. I did thought the turnip cake lacked ingredients. I only tasted dried shims, no Chinese sausage or shiitake mushrooms. The bao was good. The chicken feet and the shumai was great. I really liked the shumai. The spare ribs was good too but I was so full to eat much of it. The service was good and fast. The interior was nicely decorated in dark green with gold accents. Love it. I didn't use the bathroom but the whole restaurant seems pretty clean. (It is new so it should be clean.) The manager said they opened for 4 days. The price is average, like most dim sum restaurants. They are still having problems with their internet so it was cash only. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. read more

The Singapore noodles were to die for. My sis said the chicken fried rice was the best she ever had.
