    There was a time that Joy Dim Sum was a go-to spot for the Sugar Land dim sum scene. What it lacked from the larger, traditional banquet hall vibe, it made up for in lack of pretension and lots of focus on the quality of the food and service. Sadly, it seems like those days are long gone as the latter is on a downhill slope. Has ownership changed? (#1) I'm not sure, but so much else has. There's no tea offered, but bottled water. Service and the kitchen staff is a mess where it's most evident during their busiest hours. At one point, Cantonese was spoken but it also seems that's no longer the case. Previously the food was passable, but now it's near abysmal. Siu mai was hearty, but fairly bland. The same applies to their spare ribs (排骨), beef balls (牛肉球), and steamed glutinous rice in leaf (糯米雞). I felt their custard buns (奶黃包), fried stuffed crab claw (釀蟹鉗), fried glutinous dumpling (鹹水角) and the turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) were dried out. While the shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) and rice rolls (腸粉) mostly passed the test, it needed lots of soy sauce + condiments to be worth it. The only winner was their beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), where the beef and ho fun noodles were tender, while also being adequately greasy. The bonus bits of fried egg within were a nice surprise. While the prices range from $3.75-$9.70, a majority of it will average out to be $5-6 a dish. This isn't a terrible deal per se, especially during these times. However, it is a big price to pay for service issues and sub-par quality dim sum. While I'm hopeful that they'll rebound and I hope the Joy returns, but I don't think I will. __________ (#1) FZ / FJ peeps, where ya at?

    This has been my go to spot for years for dim sum. They do dine in or take out. If I do take out, I call them ahead of time if I do take out and it's ready within 30-40 minutes. It's nice that it's inside Jusgo because you can walk around and shop while waiting. If you pay cash, you get a 5% discount. It's always lively inside when I go and the staff are kind. The siu mai and ha gow are plump and juicy and the noodles are fresh. You can also order things frozen to bring home and reheat when you're ready.

    I usually get take out from here when I also need to go grocery shopping nearby. The food is still yummy by the time I get home. I enjoy the shrimp rolls and chicken feet. They had pretty good prices for dim sum and the workers are quick with the orders. There isn't much seating inside which is why I mainly order to go.

    This place is in the food court in 99 ranch! We tried the steamed shrimp rice noodle ($6), shrimp shumai ($6), steamed creamy custard bun ($5), turnip cake ($5), and glutinous rice dumplings ($5). The steamed shrimp rice noodle was delicious! The rice noodle was perfectly chewy and bouncy in texture. The shrimp was flavorful. I loved the custard bun. Slightly sweet and the outer bun was so soft! I was surprised with the glutinous rice dumplings! It had a fried outer filling but was mochi. The meat filling was also really yummy! There are about 8 tables of 4! You order on a menu sheet and bring it to the front. I appreciate how the menu has English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Service was fast and friendly! Items started coming out after 10 minutes. The tables are clean.

    Small dim sum restaurant located beside Jusgo that serves yummy food. The thinness of the skin on the dim sums were perfect. Meat to skin wrapping was proportionate too. I highly recommend the custard egg yolk buns. Eat them while they are warm. The saltiness and liquidity filling was perfect. The noodle dishes were so-so. Nothing spectacular. There is limited seating for dine-in. You can eat first and pay later.

    The store is super small, but the foods are really good. The foods came out pretty quick, super fresh, and really well seasoned. We ordered the steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed shrimp siu mai, steamed pork ribs, steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf, steamed mixed meat dumplings, bird nest fried shrimp ball, steamed dried shrimp rice noodle, and supreme soy sauce fried noodles. All of the dishes were super tasty. We loved everything except for the steamed mixed meat dumplings which had nuts and cilantro inside. My absolute favorites were the bird nest fried shrimp balls, steamed shrimp dumplings and the sticky rice in lotus leaf (probably the best I've had out of all the dim sum places I've tried so far). If it wasn't for the small store with extremely limited seating, we would come back more often.

    Yelp, let me give this place 3.5 stars!!! I really like this place and I want to give it four and there's always chance for redemption, BUT given how much I paid and the location it's in, I should've at least been given more decent customer service Starting with the food, the pork siu mai and steamed chicken buns were AMAZING. Truly, delivering on high quality flavor, very juicy, and getting these two and layering it with chilli oil is such a fantastic idea bc you get a good blend of savory and sweet with a spicy coating (drooooool) Now let's get to the complaints, there's no free water here. They only do water bottles. Given the location and competition with restaurants in the mall, it's not a fast food shop or food truck and it's not boding well with them to not offer water. I wanted a table but they said no tables available but I saw them making accommodations to others asking for a table. Granted, I did ask for one after paying and they caught me a table while I was waiting for food, but when I asked the owner at first she only threw her hands up in resignation and said there were none available rather than trying to make it work, like she did with others.

    Best place to get Dim Sum in Sugar Land! The store is located in the Jusgo Super market, the second stall on the left. I always order to go because of their limited seating. I believe there are about 5-6 tables so it is difficult to go with a larger party. Make sure to order in advanced on the phone as they do get very busy and are a popular new staple for the people in the community. My go to is always the Har gao and the pork siu mai. The skin on the har gao is always perfect, Ive noticed that some places tend to either over steam or under steam the dumpling making the skin dry out but Joy is great about getting the steam just right. The Siu mai is super juicy and flavorful. The other items I got (pictured) are also great options!

    Sugarland is not exactly a destination for Cantonese cuisine, which is all the more reason I…read moreappreciated what Regal had to offer. Whether it was weekend dim sum or an evening Canto feast with fresh seafood, I was simply thankful for the option. Now that option is toast since Regal closed last month. Looks can be deceiving. The exterior makes me think of a fitness joint more so than a Cantonese spot. Stepping inside is a complete contrast, with a mix of specialty murals, modern decor with a contemporary edge. There were plenty of large group tables, which made this place perfectly ideal for a feast gathering. Bathrooms were also clean, but this is the only place I've seen that had ice cubes all the urinals. (#1) Dim Sum was solid. The highlights for me were their stir fried XO rice rolls, which had a nice char and some good flavor. The Malay style rolls were also suprrisingly good and I felt strongly about their bbq pork puffs, durian rolls, and glutinous pork dumplings shaped to look like pears. The shrimp dumplings, beef balls, and spare ribs were average at best, I was also very impressed with their overall variety and the fact they had an extremely defined picture menu. The Canto speaking staff was friendly and the parking was plentiful. While the food wasn't all a hit, I do think there was some potential, which was not realized in the end. I am sincerely hoping another Canto spot will emerge in the Land of Sugar. __________ (#1) Yes, really.

Price - for dim sum, we've paid roughly $26/person, but that included tax and tips. So that amount is arbitrary. It depends on how many dishes you may order, and keep in mind that we had a lot of left over food though. We also had a whole duck in this price, so not your typical dim sum order. I imagine it would be less if we would just stick to dim sum only. 3. Ambiance - this place is industrial looking. Modern and pretty hip. It's not massive. Not sure if it's the same owner as the previous Regal on 59. But it's a smaller footprint than the previous location. Dress code here is casual. 4. Food - I will say that the dim sum here is legit Hong Kong style dim sum. This is delicious and not greasy. I really like their CHA-SIU-BAO (BBQ Pork Buns), HA-GAO (shrimp dumplings), SIU-MEI (Pork and Shrimp dumplings), and Egg Tarts. Because it was our first time there, we wanted to try out their roast duck. It is also very authentically made. There are definitely other dishes that were good too, but these were the few worth mentioning. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area appears clean. SUMMARY - I recommend this place and will likely return for more dim sum in the future.

Speaking of the menu, I really enjoyed checking items off of a paper menu, it felt very old-school. I was there with my parents, and we decided to get a couple entrees to split family-style. We got ban ban noodles, yibin noodles, pork and crab dumplings, a breadier kind of dumpling which I think had pork in it, a scallion pancake, a beef pancake roll, and chrysanthemum tea. All were delicious, no complaints. My favorites were definitely the bready meat dumpling, it just melted in your mouth, and the yibin noodles. I also really enjoyed the chrysanthemum tea; they delivered a big pot and several cups, and there was enough in the pot to fill each of our cups three or four times.
