Pittsburgh has no Chinatown, no pushcart chaos, no aunties double-parking their Camrys outside. What it does have, somehow, is HK Dim Sum -- and it has absolutely no business being this good. This is a full Fresh Off the Boat triumph. Har gao with skins that don't tear, siu mai that are fat and properly porky, cheung fun arriving silky and glistening, deep-fried taro with that telltale lacework shell. The congee is soothing, the turnip cake is properly caramelized, and every single thing tastes like something someone's grandmother would approve. You order off a menu instead of chasing carts, parking is free in the garage, and the dinnerware is the kind that makes the meal feel like an occasion. Friendly service, reasonable prices, and zero compromises. For Pittsburgh? This isn't "good for dim sum." This is just good dim sum, full stop. read more

We love this place!!! The portions are amazing for the price! I love their soup dumplings and their ho fun! Our server was so funny and nice. We were such a big group and the food came out fast!!! Inside was clean and quiet read more

We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday at 1pm and were able to get a table right away. It's super cute inside and I enjoy the moon lighting. There's a good amount of tables and booths along with a couple of private rooms with large round tables. We ordered a fair bit and I thought it was all very reasonably priced. Everything we had was excellent. I especially enjoy the scallion pancakes and spare ribs. The only thing I didn't love is that the soup dumplings come in these little foil tins and they stick to them so it's hard to get your dumpling out without popping it and losing all the soup broth. Otherwise, I had a fantastic experience and will be back!! read more

Was this the best dim sum I've ever had...no. Was this the best dim sum in the Pittsburgh area? Yes, absolutely. Rice crepes are my favorite dim sum dish and this one was missing something both in the sauce and the texture but it satisfied my craving and for that, I am grateful. Other places I've been to only have certain dim sum dishes in the morning/afternoon but this place has dim sum cart items offered all day which is super nice. read more

Quiet, spacious place to have some dim sum in Oakland. Located a bit off the main drag, away from hospitals and campuses. The restaurant is very clean and tables are large so it would be good for groups. Large windows allow for good natural light. I've been here a couple times for lunch during the week and service was always pretty quick. Servers were helpful in answering questions. My favorite dish was the steamed shumai with shrimp and pork. They were very dense, meaty dumplings. A close second would be the steamed dumplings with shrimp and spinach (similar flavor profile). The steamed rice rolls come in several varieties (I got mine with shrimp); they are more roll than filling, so ended up being large bites of chewy roll in sauce. The buns also come with different fillings (I got mine with pork); they are very puffy and a bit sweet, so almost felt like a dessert bite. Much more bun than filling. Finally, the scallion pancake is a great appetizer to get the meal going. Not too big, so good for sharing with just two people. read more

Back again with another review! So they have a newer menu with a ton more options and selections. They have added a hibachi menu, congee, and a few other dishes that weren't on there previously. I am a true congee person and I probably eat that every day if I knew how to make it correctly; one day. They also have a rewards program which I wish they had this before my last recent visit. We had a mixture of items: Shrimp dumplings, fried dough rice noodle rolls, steamed custard bun, a ramen bowl, and congee with fish + their egg tarts! Also, the manager was so kind to give us a dessert called bingfen which I think I had something similar in Taiwan but it's not the same toppings. read more

The interior is very spacious and has a clean aesthetic. This restaurant is perfect for friends or families with options for booths or tables. We were sat instantly and the dishes came at an appropriate time. My favorites were the turnip cake and the chicken feet. However, every other dimsum dish was below standard and is not worth getting. It was a good experience trying dimsum in pittsburgh but will not be getting these dishes again. read more

Actually pleasantly surprised and pleased with the quality of food at HK dimsum. As a city that doesn't offer a lot of dim sum options, HK dimsum definitely brings a strong option to the city. Sadly they don't do cart service, but that is understandable given how slow it during Sunday lunchtime. Even though it wasn't cart service, the turn around time from ordering and getting the food was actually pretty quick. Everything came out piping hot and the seasoning and flavors were right on point. Our cheung fun (rice noodle roll) dishes did seem a bit overcooked, so I'm hoping it was just a fluke for the day. I'm willing to come back and try it again since everything else was fantastic. The cha sui (steamed pork buns) was probably the best I've had in the city (albeit limited options here). The prices were a bit on the higher side for dimsum, but I was pleased at the quality. They also had a traditional and authentic Chinese menu that I'll have to try another time. The inside was very clean and modern. It kind of reminded of us being in a hotel lobby. We had the kindest server who adored our toddler and was very accommodating which was a big plus!! read more

Consider myself a dim sum lover and this place definitely checks every box. Had limited taro offerings but they made up for it in big flavor. Service was prompt and was quickly seated. Came on a weekday for a quick bit and would come back in the future! read more

This was a great spot right in North Oakland. It is a perfect style to get a bunch of things and have everyone try a little bit of everything. Personal favorites were the sesame chicken and the soup dumplings are a must try. Our service was good as well, he was very sweet and helpful to accommodate to an allergy we had at the table. Great spot for a good casual eat and good spot for larger groups read more

HK Dim Sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Absolutely loved my experience at the soft launch of Hong Kong Dim Sum in North Oakland--what an incredible addition to Pittsburgh's food scene! Huge thanks to Jess and the Hungry Panda team for the invite to this unforgettable preview. HK Dim Sum is more than a restaurant; it's a celebration of Cantonese heritage, powered by a passionate trio bringing generations of dim sum mastery to the Steel City. Every dish is a labor of love--handmade, thoughtfully presented, and packed with flavor. We dove into the most addictive cheesy sweet potato balls (seriously, I could eat a dozen), soup dumplings served in the cutest ramekins, fluffy egg custard buns, honey roasted pork buns, and a stunning beef noodle dish that tasted as good as it looked. The chicken and shrimp fried rice? Perfectly seasoned comfort food. The attention to detail here--from the pleats on the dumplings to the warm, inviting vibe of the space--is something special. Pittsburgh's dim sum scene is heating up, and HK Dim Sum is setting the bar. Welcoming staff, vibrant flavors, and a deep respect for tradition with a creative twist-- #GOUDapproved and absolutely worth your first (and second, third & fourth...) visit. read more

Yasss! HK Dim Sum is finally opened. I'm excited for a place in the city where I can get solid dim sum. I treated myself on a weekday and found a table easily. The restaurant is sizable with a back area more for larger groups with giant lazy susans. Now to the food - Sui mai: It's exactly what I had hoped for. Stuffed well and steamed perfectly. - Turnip cake: Pan fried well with a nice display - Banana leaf wrapped rice: Yum! The sticky rice was delightful and egg cooked to a level with the right amount of yolky goodness - BBQ roasted pork bao: This was just okay. I found the bao a little dry. Overall, definitely recommend if you want to give it a try! read more

We will definitely go back to this restaurant when we are in Oakland. The food, service and ambiance were all spot on. We tried both the pork and beef ribs, a cold beef salad, shrimp cakes and soup dumplings. We really enjoyed all of the different flavors and our waitress was great. read more

I am from Hong Kong. Dim sum was my life growing up. I've lived in a number of places in the US and it's always been hard to find a good dim sum place that lives up to Hong Kong standards. I am so happy to say that HK Dim Sum not only lives up to my standards, but it exceeds them. Their food is authentic and delicious. They cook everything themselves, nothing is frozen and reheated. Their menu is vast and has grown since their opening in May. My family comes here all the time. I brought my parents when they visited me, and they still live in Hong Kong, and they were also impressed. They are picky so this says a lot! The service is great and the waitstaff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor is very nice. They have private rooms that are similar to those in Hong Kong dim sum restaurants. Their dinnerware is very unique and beautiful. I love everything about this restaurant and I am so grateful they've graced the Pittsburgh food scene! read more

Great space- we dined at a 8 top with a huge lazy susan- Food was melt in your mouth delicious and the service was fast and friendly. again did not try the noodles but we did try the steamed greens with garlic- very simple and great. We also had stuffed eggplant and rice in lotus leaf. The bowl pictured is called a jelly- it is beautifully colored with pearls ( kind of like boba) and has a sweat tea flavor and has the texture of jello. Again service was outstanding. We did have to wait longer for some orders but there were several large groups so the kitchen was busy. read more

We ordered these items: soup dumplings, chao fen (stir fry wide rice noodles with beef), pork buns, sesame balls, cheungfun (rice noodle rolls with shrimp). Everything was very tasty. I'm glad there's a dimsum place here now. The restaurant is very clean and tastefully decorated. Service was friendly. If you spend $30 or more M-Th, you get a free item. Great date / family meal environment. I'm looking forward to returning and trying other dishes! read more

Super happy that another Cantonese restaurant opened in the city! There is plenty of street parking available nearby. Food was actually pretty decent. I didn't like the Siu Mai as much, mostly because of the mushroom taste that was a little off. But everything else met our expectations. Service was friendly and prompt. Our waitstaff mentioned it was his first day on the job, and kept coming back to make sure everything was good. From the decor to the plate settings, everything was very tasteful. I appreciate that they also have a separate space to accommodate larger parties. Our Longin tea was very refreshing. Our check came out to a little over $50 for a party of three. We will definitely be back for more! read more

This is such a great dim sum spot right in the center of the city! The space is big and so beautiful. The dim sum seems handmade in house which is awesome since nothing was super salty. I really liked the deep fried dumplings. They were so good and fresh. The shu mai and spinach shrimp dumplings were also really fresh and handmade. I didn't love the rice rolls (we got the beef) but I also grew up eating this kind of food so I've eaten a lot of beef rice rolls. The staff is pretty nice too! Love that the menus are in Chinese as well. The menu prices also don't match what's on the receipt. It'd be great if they could update it, the menu prices are higher. So hype for a local dim sum spot!! So great for brunch. read more

There was only one waiter on but while he didn't know the menu, he was still kind. My group went at 5:30 and no one was there., we left around 6:45 when people started showing up. The decorations are so pretty and cozy. Now for the food, we ordered a variety of foods they had to offer. Some of the shrimp food had a weird texture but I'm pretty sure it was just me in my group that felt that way. I would recommend this place for solo dinners or duo dinners. read more

Since moving from Atlanta, I've never quite found (tbh i've never bothered looking very hard...) for dim sum in Pittsburgh. We came here for a friend's birthday dinner and overall - it really hit the spot! They have everything you would expect from dim sum - right down to the egg tarts and chicken feet. Our server was *awesome* and made it such a memorable night! It's a bit more expensive than typical push-cart dim sum, but hey - this is it for Pittsburgh, they're not doing the volume of customers, and the quality was very very good. Fair warning: the egg custards are the biggest I'd ever seen - these aren't the bite-size ones you're expecting! ;-) read more

Was so good...I'd go back daily if it wasn't 40+ mins from my house. Fixed my ramen craving and can't wait to actually try the dim sum next. Super nice waitress too! read more

I've loved having this dim sum place nearby this year! The food is always delicious (comparable to dim sum in large city chinatowns) and the ambiance is nice. This weekend I hosted my (big round number) birthday party there and it was lovely! The staff were so kind and helpful and all my guests and I had a fantastic time. Highly recommend for small meals or medium size events! read more

If you like expired dim sum, this is the place for you. The XLB were dry, even though they served them with a spoon. I did not need the spoon because there was no liquid in them. The pork buns were freezer burnt, and the shrimp and spinach crystal dumplings were falling apart in the steamer before I touched them. The only reason I am giving this place more than one star is because of my server, Brea. She was kind and smart, checked in frequently, and took care of requests promptly. She was a bright light in this experience. This dim sum place is mostly just dim. read more

Pricey for dim sum. It was tasty and well made but I wouldn't go there unless it's a special occasion and we were craving dim sum. The service was really good and they didn't push us out the door despite spending three hours there. It was very well decorated with fancy teapots and silverware. We had a variety of dim sum including most of the rice noodles, shumai, tripe, a variety of buns and dumplings, pork ribs, lotus wrapped rice, and even the fried banana for dessert. We had a group of 10 and they gave us a nice round table in the back room. read more

Good food, and great service....but I would have benefited from better ability to navigate the big and somewhat overwhelming menu.

I'm always up for trying dim sum places. I headed to HL dimsum on a Saturday for dinner. Store was very empty. We were immediately seated and handed the menu. Food came out pretty shortly after ordering. Very happy with the taste and quantity of dim sum. HOWEVER, the beef noodle soup was sooo bland. Meat was stringy and inedible. Very overpriced for what we had received. read more

Thought this place has very authentic dim sum and their portions are generous. Their steamed and pan fried dumplings hit the spot and their fried rice was a great compliment to all their dishes served that we had. We also had to pork buns which was very filling.

Let's be honest. MOST Chinese restaurants serve "Americanized" versions of Chinese dishes. RIght or wrong, that's what we've come to expect and gotten used to. If you go here do NOT expect the same old General Tso's. I asked for chicken fried rice. What I got was rice with huge chunks of chicken on it. Great?! In theory, yes. But both chicken and rice were very very bland. My wife got beef fried rice and said the beef was very chewy. I went here because of the positive Yelp reviews. Lesson learned. read more

We hit this place up because dim sum is hard to find at home. We tried a lot of dishes and all were good. It's hard to pick a stand out, but I enjoyed the shredded kelp salad and maybe the shrimp and pork shumai the most. Service was attentive without being stifling, food came out pretty fast and at appropriate temps. The restaurant was nicely decorated with a little more eye for style than I'm used to. The bathrooms were very clean, well maintained and I didn't feel like I might get kidnapped! Anyhow the better half, kids and I would recommend HK, and if we end up in Pittsburg again we'd likely go back. Cheers read more
