As someone who loves dim sum, I was excited to try an AYCE dim sum spot because you honestly don't…read moresee that too often. The parking lot was a little confusing since it shares space with the sushi/hibachi restaurant next door, and it seems like they're connected somehow. Inside, the dim sum side was pretty empty with only a few filled tables, while the hibachi side looked much busier. The two restaurants are separated by a glass wall, so you can clearly see both sides. Right away, service was rough. There was no host or waiter around for over five minutes and we were honestly about to leave before someone finally came to seat us. They give you a paper menu to mark what you want, which was easy enough, but everything after that moved very slowly. Waters took forever, food came out sporadically, and it was obvious the dim sum side wasn't getting much attention. I understand it was a Saturday, but most of the focus seemed to be going toward the hibachi restaurant next door. Food-wise, it was OK for AYCE. The shumai was tasty, pork buns were probably one of my favorites, and the shrimp dumplings and rolls were a good size. The chicken lo mein was flavorful, sesame balls were good, and the spring rolls were decent. The Chinese broccoli tasted good too, but it came out cold. The biggest issue was the wait and lack of communication. After our first round, we waited a long time for our waiter to come back because he seemed to also be serving the other restaurant. We were still waiting on two dim sum dishes when he finally returned and asked if we were finished. When we mentioned we were still waiting, he casually told us they were out of those items. I just wish someone had told us that 20-25 minutes earlier instead of leaving us waiting the whole time. To be honest, we wanted to order a lot more food, but we knew we would be sitting there for another hour till we got it. Hence the lack of my pictures. Our waiter himself was friendly and smiley, and honestly I felt bad because it looked like he was trying to manage both sides. But overall the dim sum area felt completely neglected. The food was good enough that I wanted to like the place more, but the service and long waits really affected the experience. Sadly, I probably wouldn't come back.

Parked right next to the Volcano Sushi/hibachi place, AYCE Dim Sum makes the attempt to provide an…read moreAll You Can Eat experience Duluth has in abundance. But for the cost of providing endless items, quality dips for quantity and much like buffets, you don't get the best but in the case of this place, bottom tier for unlimited is literally what you pay for. WIth cash you pay $25, with card you pay $29 The interior is tiny compared to their next door neighbor. Seats about 70 people and it looks like it's just a tacked on extension of Volcano sushi/Hibachi. Now let's talk food. They give you a paper menu and you look at the items and you put a number on how many servings you want. Serving sizes vary like the Shumai gives 4 peices while the soup dumplings are 3 so if you put "2" down for the soup dumplings, you'll get 6 total dumplings. Some things are great, others are horrid. I decided on a few popular items. Everything is pork based save for the beef short ribs. The Hong Kong style meatball, the soup dumplings, the chive and pork, the wontons, the shumai; all pork based and some combined shrimp with it. I don't know what it is but there is a window where things are great piping hot and once it hits a cooling point, it just sucks. That being said, order one item at a time, eat it hot, and quick because cold pork/shrimp shumai just doesn't cut it. There was also the Chou Zhu or something that had a distasteful flavor and texture. The Hong Kong style meatball also had a very off putting flavor. Everything that was shrimp based left a bad taste in my mouth and things sat real heavy. The Tonkatsu ramen was delicious and the lo mein was extremely flavorful to be fair. I did like the soup dumplings but I wish they had more soup. It's definitely one to visit just once to get that all you can eat experience but that's it. Your best bet can be to find an a la carte dim sum place or play it all you can eat one at a time

If you come on the weekends, beware the lines and wait time is absolutely nuts. Hostess was getting a bit frustrated, but all the servers/staff inside with the dim sum carts were super nice and personable. There's a tablet to check in at the door when you walk in. The inside was also renovated and looks very different than the old restaurant. Parking is also limited when it gets busy. I don't really eat meat much anymore besides seafood. So I didn't try too many dishes. But my dad loved everything he had, especially the century egg congee. I love the shrimp hargow, basically like shrimp dumplings with a transparent dough. My favorite though was the shrimp steamed rice roll. The shrimp were big and plump, and the sauce they pour on it is really good. Like a soy sauce with a touch of sweetness. I also really enjoyed the fried rice and the hot tea. Everything I tried I can wholeheartedly recommend, but honestly I didn't try too many dishes. I would definitely come back again!! Just maybe at a less prime time because the wait was really crazy.

The food itself was good, no complaints there, but it took a long time for our dishes to come out. It seemed like the restaurant was understaffed for the holiday rush, and the wait times definitely showed it. I don't think this is their usual pace, and I'm willing to chalk a lot of it up to the Father's Day crowd. Still, for a big holiday, you'd expect the restaurant to be better prepared. I'd come back on a normal day, though, because the food really was solid.

There are some differences to how menu items are made/taste from when I first had it, so I feel as though the chef has most likely changed. It's both good and bad because the menu items with taro aren't quite as nice as before, but other things are either the same or better like the Beef Ho Fun for example. The chicken feet have changed too, but both were good. All the classic items are still basically the same. I liked the pan fried chives dumplings and beef cheung fun here. I can't speak for dinner or how it is on the weekdays, but it's quite busy over the weekends, which is expected for dim sum. It's a large space too, but once it's busy, you'll have to take a number and wait for a table. There's some seating along the side of the entrance to wait, but it may still take awhile. Usually, only one person really has to go and take a number, so if possible, one person should strive to get there earlier.

We came for dim sum and everything was spot on -- juicy soup dumplings (小籠包), fluffy char siu bao, tender pork spare ribs, and silky shrimp rice noodle rolls that reminded me of what I used to eat growing up. My favorites were the siu mai (pork + shrimp dumplings) and the egg tarts, which were buttery, flaky, and baked perfectly! Beyond dim sum, their full Cantonese menu looks amazing -- from crispy salt & pepper squid to beef chow fun and roasted meats. It's definitely a spot I'll return to for dinner or a big celebration. Service was good too - we were never sitting around too long waiting for anything.

The customer service was A1 as a matter of fact is it possible to be too customer service focused because she made sure attention was given. I can't remember her name but she did awesome. Let's talk about this food. I love the scallion pancake and just up the road is Trader Joe's who has a really good product for scallion pancake but there is nothing like getting it at a restaurant. It was so flaky and crispy I'm obsessed. You can never go wrong with a spring roll and so I got the veggie spring rolls and enjoyed them immensely but for me the star of the show was my entree. The house Chow fun that had shrimp steak chicken was so good. The veggies while minimal worked perfectly so the protein and noodles were the stars. And I definitely left with it to go box. There was enough food to keep you satiated at the restaurant and have a meal at home. They also have a list of boba tea and milk teas that will keep you engaged. While I didn't purchase one plenty of people came in to order them. And there was no shortage of In-N-Out traffic of residents coming in for lunch and doing takeouts. So if you want a cute lunch date go and check out dumpling master. Okay bye
