I go absolutely overboard here! Every time! As someone who lived in Asia- this place is authentic and delicious! I would absolutely recommend the fried shrimp (heads up- it comes with the head attached), any of the dimsums, my family is obsessed with their fried rice and I'm obsessed with their stuffed bell pepper! Pricey but worth it since it's not just delicious food- it's an experience too! read more

YES PLEASE... Wow, this place will easily become a regular for my family. We came to IT Dimsum for the first time and I am so very glad that we did. We wanted to try a little bit of everything and the great thing about dim sum is, that is what you get. We tried fried shrimp balls, steamed shrimp rice noodle, mushroom shumai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, and a BBQ combo dish. Every morsel was devoured. Each dish brought its only flavor combination and delicious twist. The shrimp balls were coated with a crispy outer shell. The steamed shrimp rice noodle dish was served with a delicious soy sauce base. the Mushroom Shumai was served with a mushroom-based broth. Lastly, the BBQ combo came with roast duck and BBQ pork served with steamed rice. I started by serving myself a spoonful of rice. I did not realize how delicious steamed rice could be, I could do nothing but chuckle at the moment, the rice was so tasty. That first bite just pole-vaulted our experience into a great place. I will be back again and again and again. read more

Worst dim sum I've ever had by far. Although to be fair I've only had it 10-12 times in my life.

I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it amazing. The beef steamed dumplings were perfect, the chicken fried rice was good too. I can't come up with a better word :p Great atmosphere, great service, and the food came out fast. We'll be back:) read more

I was shocked when I realized I hadn't reviewed this little gem. Moving here from the Seattle area, where we have the BEST Asian food, I was LUCKY tio find this place. I have been here a dozen times. Every time I visit it takes me back tio Chinatown in Seattle. Delicious, clean & friendly staff. This is DEFINITELY my go-to Dimsum place. If you haven't tried it, it's a MUST! I PROMISE you will thank me later ;) read more

Really liked the food. Definitely a good place to check out. The service is relatively quick.

Food was super authentic and delicious! We ordered the shrimp har gow, pork shumai, steamed pork dumpling, pork porridge, baked bbq pork bun, deep fried meat ball, daikon cake, and bbq pork rice noodle. Every single dish was amazing!!!!!! The interior was very clean, beautiful, and modern. The staff was attentive and great at answering our questions. They were constantly clearing our table of used dishes and checking that our tea pots were full of hot water. read more

Excellent authentic dim sum. The best calamari (squid w/ salt and pepper) ever. I especially like the sweet custard buns.

The food was absolutely delicious. The menu was relatively extensive, the ambiance was cozy and rustic, and the service was top-notch. We got our food 2 minutes after ordering! read more

Oh the pain! It's really too bad, because the food is quite good. But it was perhaps the worst service experience we have ever had. There was a bit of a wait to be seated, no surprise as it was Sunday brunch time. Once we were seated, some menus and markers were tossed at us without a word. We figured out ourselves that you circle the items you want with the white board marker and eventually they pick them up. If you are lucky. After sitting for 20-30 minutes, we begged someone to come over and pick up our order and asked how we could get something to drink! She looked at me like was the dumbest customer she ever had and told me to circle it on the menu. We did, but what good would that have done me given NO ONE ever came and picked up our menus! Everything we ordered came out SO, SO slowly. It was quite tasty, but we were practically in a hypoglycemic coma by the time food arrived. I know Sunday brunch time is a busy time for Dim Sum, so then prepare yourselves for it! It's not like it's a secret. All in all, it was a nearly 3 hour experience. I want my Sunday afternoon back! The restaurant is also insanely noisy. It was not when it was Best Lee's. Someone has decided that restaurateurs need to construct and decorate their restaurants to be as loud as possible these days! I can't imagine why they are stupid enough to believe it. We will never return to restaurants again if we cannot carry on a conversation with the person next to us! Another thing to note. Most Dim Sum places I have been to pass a cart around and you chose things off the cart. Thus, you get your food right away. Given how long their kitchen takes to prepare food, they would benefit from this method. If you are not going to serve things as traditional Dim Sum does, then speed up your damn kitchen. Like I said, I want my Sunday afternoon back. NEVER again! read more

Hello, I am leaving this message to encourage you guys to please be careful before you come here. I found the lack consistency to be unacceptable. When I attempted to discuss this with the nice young lady of management she became argumentative, defensive and discourteous. I won't be able to come back again sadly enough. It gives me no pleasure to write this and I'm disappointed that I have lost a place to find decent Chinese food... Respectfully read more

Excellent food and service. Best food I have had from this ethnic cuisine. I will be back often.

Dim sum pretty good! Reminded me of home back in California! Tripe and shunning were especially tasty!

Sooooooo good. The shrimp balls are incredible! A meal in and of itself if you don't want to share. My favorite entree is the mongolian chicken. Very reasonable and delicious. read more

Good dim sum joint here in ABQ. I don't know of many and I haven't really looked. I came alone for lunch, but it's probably better with two or more folks so you can enjoy a wider selection of items. I got some potstickers, steamed dumplings, and some sweet bread thingy. They have the usual drink selections, but sodas are by the can. read more

I got a large array of vegetarian Dim Sum selections to try. The egg tarts and cakes and sesame balls were decadently delicious, with a good portion 3 of each. The Chinese broccoli however was completely plain (steamed?), tough and hard to eat. I really liked that they will make vegetarian noodle and rice dishes for you if you call and request. I don't remember much special about the flavor though. The fried item wrapped in rice wrapper (sorry I forget the name) was very tasty! Fun time trying it all. read more

Shooot! This was such a surprise find! Came over to check this place out after a couple people have talked about it. Didn't think I'd be so impressed but the buns here, my goodness those buns are delicious! We ordered the baked buns with sweet filling and they were amazing! Also had an order of the beef wrapped rice noodles and they were also delicious. Soft and chewy with just the right bite. I definitely will be coming back for more of this good food! read more

This place has really good dim sum. The nice thing is they make it throughout the day. Many dim sum places make a certain amount and when they run out, too bad. The many times I've been here they never run out of anything. That said, don't forget to order the egg tarts and cream buns. They're so good I order them first so I'll have room even though I try and take some home. They also have some of the standard Chinese restaurant fare, fried rice, lo mein and such, also very good. The interior has a modern feel and the service is great. They give you a picture card and you just use a dry marker to pick your items. I usually just circle what I want then put a number next to it to indicate how many orders I want. Really love this place and in fact I need to pay them a visit, need me some cream buns and baked BBQ pork buns. read more

It's a really fun way to have lunch with friends and get to try all kinds of food. I'm not sure about circling choices with a marker is the most effective way to take orders, but the food is amazing. The salt and pepper shrimp and the pork dumplings are a must. read more

I used to love this place especially that there is not many dimsum places in Albuquerque. Three months ago, I would have given this five out of five (but I didn't get to finish my review then so I am posting just now.) My last visit was not as pleasant as the previous ones. I have been here a dozen times, at least, since they opened. I feel like the food declined in taste. The roasted duck was not as flavorful, like duck was fried with no spices then sauce was added after. The baked sweet bun did not have as much filling. The fried rice decreased if portion and is too sticky for a fried rice. I would still recommend trying it out for yourself. The dimsum is still the same. I still love the bean curd roll, pork and shrimp siomai, calamari, and red bean sesame balls. read more

Ok everyone this is THE BEAT DIM SUM spot in ABQ!!!! Ok it's a bit pricey to be honest but I always come here to get my dim sum fix. I personally love these dishes on the menu Sui Mai, Shrimp Har Gow, Mushroom Sui Mai, Steamed Beef Ball. The seafood is kinda bland but still delicious. We love the Chicken Chow Fun as well! read more

Nice to have some alternative Dim Sum options for the Burq. Not that the other place is bad, it's just nice to have options. Their menu is strong, easy to peruse with awe and delight...I love me some food pictures. The food is very good, seemingly made or "heated" to order....either way, enjoyable. read more

UPDATE: Still love this place! Stopped by tonight for wonton soup and fried shrimp puffs. Food was delicious, service was prompt, and everything was clean. read more

IT DIMSUM - Fried Shrimp Puff (left) and Wonton Soup (right) - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Revisited the second time about 4 weeks ago. It was still a wonderful dining experience. Tried two different kinds of congee and they were delectable, so much so that I had to cook up my own seafood congee the next day. Will come back again. read more

We stopped by here for lunch, and it was quite interesting, to say the least. We were seated and got a carafe of water, as we looked over the menu. Wish they would've given us a quick run down of popular items or what entailed the sizes of the Dim Sum offered. We ordered a few items, one from each size category, and some soy sauce chow mien. We ordered the egg roll (small), steamed bbq pork bun (med), baked bbq pork bun (med), and squid w. salt and pepper (extra large). Guess we skipped the large offerings. The egg rolls came first, and they seemed to be the run of the mill type vegetable egg roll. Next came the buns and squid. The baked bun was probably our favorite. It had a semi-sweet glaze on top, which contrasted with the salty pork inside. The steamed buns seem to break apart easily, and wasn't as good as the baked version, in my opinion. The squid was good, but it came with no type of dipping sauce, so we kind of made our own with the chile paste and soy sauce that were on the table. The soy sauce noodles was quite tasty, and kind of made up for the steamed buns. This was our first time here, and everything tasted good, but it definitely didn't seem like it was "homemade". I'm not a dim sum expert, but other than the noodles, it seemed like most felt like out of the box type items. That being said, I will probably give this place another try. The 2nd try might even change my opinion and rating, accordingly, but until then, I'll just say that it's not your average fare in Albuquerque, and it's worth a try, at least. read more

I love dim sum but New Mexico doesn't have a lot of dim sum places to go besides Ming Dynasty and their food is okay but I was soo excited when I heard there was another dim sum place opening up! My sister told me they were doing a 15% discount since they just opened so I was like why not? I found their prices to be reasonable since it is dim sum and I got the rice sheet noodles, and some shrimp balls. For dessert, I got the egg yolk steam buns and they were all so delicious especially the steam buns. Definitely recommend coming to this place for dim sum! read more

I love their food and customer service. I am very meticulous in choosing Asian food.. Dimsum isnt much around here but if there was its either it doesn't meet my standards or it just doesn't taste right. But with IT Dimsum the food its so great!! I appreciate everyone putting their efforts in making sure the food is done right for the customers. More power! BBQ Pork amazing taste Medium Shrimp Har Gow the best Roast Duck is to die for even my family loved it. And a lot more. I recommend this! read more

Food was good, but it felt a bit on the pricier side. Maybe that's the normal price range in Albuquerque? (I was only passing through the town). The pork bun's bun was really good, but I wished the filling was more generous. The highlight was the red bean sesame ball. It was amazing. Freshly fried, warm, chewy and yet crunchy on the outside. It was just perfect read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It's like tapas but different (yet still quite delicious) food. The food was fast and really good. It was also a great deal. We ordered a ton of food, including the $12 soup, and it was very reasonable. Actually, the soup wasn't worth it but the rest certainly was (it wasn't bad but we wished we got some other stuff instead). We're certainly be back and recommend it to others. For what it's worth, our (sometimes picky) toddler loved it too! Good service too! read more

Food is always hot and fresh. Environment is cozy and inviting. We love coming here for lunch. The service might be busy but always friendly. read more

This may be the best dim sum in 'Burque*. However, that is not a high bar to clear. My partner found the space to be very appealing, modern and bright. The staff was friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly after we ordered. I'm looking for a third good thing to say. It was clean. Very clean. So clean. Wow. I thought the space was loud, and it was HOT in the dining room. There was also not enough water, which is just a head scratcher. The real disappointment was the food, though. None of it tasted really fresh. I am guessing that it all came pre-made off of a truck. I mean, none of it was bad per se, but none of it was great either. Some of the noodles were really soft, to the point that they couldn't be picked up without disintegrating. Many of the items were covered in sauce, despite being pictured with sauce on the side on the menu. It's worth noting that the menu is a spread of laminated pictures of the items, and you order by indicating which ones you want with a dry-erase marker. So the pictures are kind of the key to what you are getting, or think you are getting. Some of the dumplings were good. But I'm typically of the opinion that if you start cooking pork and onions together you will almost certainly get something palatable. Also, once I've spent over $10, I stop grading on a curve. This meal was $60 for two of us. That is far too much for the tiny portions of pre-prepared items that come to an order. I'm not one to say anything about service unless it is in the realm of sketch-comedy bad. If you care about such things, they didn't check on us or refill our water. The latter of which I consider kind of a no-no in this town, otherwise I only mention the service because this is, ya know, Yelp. All in all, neither the best nor the worst, but not something I'm going to give a second chance to. *Take your money, go to Ta Lin or 99, and buy bags of intriguing things. You'll get about 600% more food for your money, and the satisfaction of discovery. read more

IT DIMSUM - Dim Sum Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Was so hopeful to have another dim sum place in town... But I don't think I'll be back. This new shop is located where Famous Lee's used to be, on Carmel. The decor is completely new, crisp and snazzy. The menu for dim sum and rice/noodle dishes is quite varied, including roast duck. We ordered a BBQ combo with roast pork and duck, chicken lo mein (they call it chow mein), steamed BBQ pork buns, fried meat buns and shrimp balls. The meat buns were tasty but beyond greasy, sadly, as were the shrimp balls. The pork buns were nothing special. The noodle dish was the only thing that was better than average and worth having again. The staff was attentive and the place is clean. Two big positives, but they have to get the food stepped up. Am open to giving it another shot, though. Every place has an off night. read more

Stay away from this restaurant. I was excited to see a new dimsum place open near my apartment, but it only took one visit to turn my excitement to a huge disappointment. My friend and I arrived at the restaurant at 10:30am on 4/7, as the second group of guests that day. My friend and I ordered 5-6 dim sum dishes and a noodle, but there was nothing on our table after 45 minutes of waiting. So we asked our server what had happened to our food and the server said that he would go into the kitchen and check. Nothing happened. We asked another server what had happened to our food and the server said she would go to the kitchen and check. Then again, nothing happened--no food. We then asked someone who looked like a manager to check upon our order and food. After an hour of waiting we finally got our first dish. Our long wait might have been compensated if the food had been good. But the food was far below standard. Dimsums were very dry and tasteless, nothing like what I have had in Chinatowns in Boston or San Francisco. In particular, a big disappointment was their xiaolongbao, which is supposed to be filled with pork juice, and be plump, juicy, and fatty. Their xiaolongbao was very dry and lacked the basic taste and quality. I do not want to comment on other dim sum dishes and noodle because it is not even worth spending my time writing comments. Service was terrible. But the owner needs to improve the basic quality and taste of their food even before thinking about their problems with service. read more

Wow! This was a wonderful dining experience. We were the only people there, as the grand opening isn't until next week. Shout out to the friend who suggested this place to me. Really nice modern design concept, and the owners were very friendly. My husband had fun chatting with them in Mandarin, but since my Mandarin is poor I chatted in English. Fun people, fun concept, and the food tasted very fresh and flavorful. There were some things on the menu that hubby was pleasantly surprised to see, telling me he hasn't seen them on a menu outside of Taiwan. Summary: I had a great time and great food, and have assurance that it's authentic food, albeit a bit hipster. read more

I don't typically write bad reviews about a restaurant, particularly on service, but tonight's experience really got me into this. I am hoping the owner or manager would see this and work on an improvement immediately, otherwise this place will not last long. Albuquerque has had only one DIMSUM restaurant for last 15-20 years. I got excited when I saw their name a few days ago, so my wife and I decided to go there tonight. We ordered some DIMSUM plates and one vegetable plate. DIMSUM was brought in within reasonable time and tasted good, but until we finished all the DIMSUMs there was still no sign of the other plate. I had to stand up to find our waiter and asked him what is going on, and he said he will check on it. It was not busy night, there were about 5 or 6 tables with customers, and they had 4 servers! 15 minutes passed, still no sign, no word. We decided to leave and asked them to cancel that plate and bring our check. And of course, the amount was wrong, they did not take out the cancelled plate. The worst part of this whole ordeal was that that waiter did not even say "sorry"! 味道还可以，在美国，尤其是新墨西哥州，已经是不错了。但是服务真的很差很差！而且建议一定要认真检查账单。 read more

New place. I was expecting carts going around for dim sum, especially when they know it's going to be nice and busy for the grand opening, but just ordering from the kitchen, more like tapas, works too. Me and a friend split 5 items and 2 desserts for lunch. I found the beef rice noodle and a couple others to be a little too light on flavor, but my friend who has been to more dim sum in California rather liked them. I gravitated toward the streamed BBQ pork buns and another one. I was getting the steamed pork dumplings, the port shumai, and another one confused. The baked egg tarts were a bit smaller than expected, but very tasty. Then the mango pudding was good, but a little odd to have it served in a plastic cup with a plastic spoon. In the menu it is pictured standing up and well we are at a table, we're not getting take-away. You GB use a plate or bowl. All of them were good and a bit something different for all tastes. I'll definitely come back occasionally. Then since it was the grand opening, near the end, they had a bunch of firecrackers outside and lions dancing through. It was fun. read more

Good dim sum in Albuquerque?!! Yes. Very good. Fresh. Tasty. They don't push the carts around, which is probably why their stuff is fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. read more
