We were in the area and early for an appointment so we stopped in here for a Diet Coke and snack. Very nice establishment. Music was perfect but soft enough to have a conversation. We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered. The answer to that was, there was a party ahead of us that ordered quite a few dishes, but we were served before them, SO the answer became apparent that the kitchen was slammed and we were fine with that! The cucumber dish was fantastic! The soup dumplings looked and tasted fresh and delicious. The one downer was only one dumpling had soup, but we poured the spicy sauce on them and that was great. Looking forward to trying new dishes I've never had before. read more

Timwah Dim Sum Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

It's been a few years since I've been here, so my wife and I visited Tim Wah yesterday. We ordered several dishes, and some were good and some were misses. We got two styles of dumplings: The chicken and cabbage, and the shrimp and chive flavors. We enjoyed the chicken and cabbage one the most. We also got one of our goto's: Turnip Cakes. These were also good, but very soft, almost fall apart. We also got some soup dumplings. I was wondering why they didn't give us any soup spoons, which is customary. Now, I may know why: There was no soup in them. They were soupless dumplings. I also ordered some spare ribs. I thought I ordered some blackbean sauce ones, but maybe I either mis-read the menu or they brought the wrong ones, because these were more like black pepper ribs. Regardless, they were decent, and tender. Even the connective tissue around the bones wasn't too tough. One dish I wouldn't get again was the Rice noodles with bbq pork. It was very bland. They don't have a large menu of non-dim-sum items. The service was decent, and the restaurant isn't very large. read more

I came in as soon as they were opened, so it took them some time to prepare it all. Even so, I am unsure about the experience. The hagao has some small pieces of hair on it, but everything else tasted okay. The place looked nice. read more

TimWah Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant 8358 Point Meadows Dr, Suite 11, Jacksonville, FL 32256 After wrapping up church service this morning, my stomach was growling like crazy, so I decided to check out this local spot for some authentic Chinese dim sum. I've been craving those steamed buns and dumplings forever, and TimWah seemed like the perfect quick stop in Jacksonville! Let me start with the good stuff: The food? Oh man, it was GOOD--really, really good! I loaded up on classics like shrimp shumai, pork siu mai, and those fluffy BBQ pork buns that just melt in your mouth. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit that perfect balance of savory and steamy. But the real star? Their chili oil--it's hands down one of the spiciest I've ever tasted! It had this intense, fiery kick with a hint of garlic and sesame that elevated every bite. If you're a spice lover like me, you'll be in heaven (just have water handy!). Now, the not-so-great part: The service... well, it sucks big time. It was painfully slow--think waiting forever just to get a menu or refill on tea--and the place wasn't even busy when I arrived. They weren't rude or anything, just disorganized and understaffed, which made the whole experience drag. I get it, dim sum spots can get chaotic, but this was next-level sluggish. That said, I think I got lucky timing-wise! When I walked in, the restaurant was totally empty--nice and quiet with that cozy, no-frills Asian eatery vibe (think simple decor, steaming carts, and the aroma of fresh dim sum filling the air). But within 15 minutes, it exploded with people--families, groups, you name it--and suddenly it was packed! The server even had to start telling new customers to wait outside in line. Pro tip: Go early to beat the rush! Overall, come here for the killer food (seriously, dim sum dreams come true), but definitely not for the service. If you're patient and all about the eats, it's worth it. Would I go back? For that chili oil alone, heck yes! Who's tried TimWah?

wonton soup: super clean but flavorful broth. Wonton were juicy and hefty, and great beef flavor. pork spare ribs: super tender meat and perfect seasoning. shrimp shu mai: very good, tender shrimp, creme brulee tart: not too sweet, I usually eat 1 egg tart but I ate 2 of these easy. pineapple bun: so cute and great texture. They are smaller than the west coast and wish it had a bit more custard but still really good. cucumber salad: so crunchy!! This was surprise favorite. Perfect balance of savory, spicy, and the crunch is still cant get over. read more

I took a friend to TimWah for tonight! Spectacular! The turnip cakes are still wonderful as is everything on the menu. We had shrimp/chive fried dumplings to die for. A bao with red bean paste--a favorite of mine from living in Singapore. The taro buns are delightful as are the soup dumplings! I could cheerfully live on soup dumplings alone for decades! The setting is very basic but the menu blows every other restaurant out of the water! Go! Take all your friends & relations! Your reputation as foodie Queen (or foodie King!) will last forever! read more

Great food at super reasonable prices. First time back in months and loved it. BBQ pork rice noodles were subtle but delicious. Shrimp stuffed tofu on point also. Great crispy exterior with a creamy and shrimp filled interior. Love the shrimp dumpling soup as well. Service is sort of poor, but for the quality and price well worth the trip read more

We stopped by on our way through Jacksonville, as it was conveniently off the highway. It wasn't a big enough building for servers to wander around with carts like in Atlanta, but the food was delicious and felt authentic. We tried several different steamed, soup and fried dumplings, as well as a noodle dish. This was my first experience with dim sum in over two decades, and it didn't disappoint. We will definitely be back! read more

Great dumpling/ lunch spot! Everything was fresh and delicious and service was fast! They were out of a few things during our visit but communicated effectively so we could substitute our order and it still came out quickly. I highly recommend the soup dumplings and mango mochi! The restaurant is relatively small and it was quiet during a weekday lunch. read more

We went to the this spot for lunch and I left very full and very satisfied! And it wasn't even that expensive (there were 5 of us). The staff were patient and helpful and our food was soooooo delicious! The shrimp and scallion dumplings, pineapple dumplings, and the spring rolls were my favorite! The food was hot and fresh and we didn't have to wait to be seated or fed. Loved it!! read more

Tim Wah is a humbler, less formal, experience than Y & H --it's perfectly fine for dine-in but seems they do a lot of take-away business as well. The staff are prompt and kind and the interior--again--is fine but not fancy, which can be quite nice if you want a quiet and casual experience. Only thing I didn't care for at all was the music: 90s soft rock standards you've heard a million times already at Publix. With all the great Canto-pop and Mando-pop out there, I don't get why Chinese restaurants insist instead on American music we've all heard elsewhere and many of us don't like. It seems halfhearted and detracts from the ambiance. The food did however make up for the awful music. The steamed shrimp dumplings were good and also generously large, the eggplant stuffed with shrimp also large and very tasty, but the pineapple buns were the best--the utter best--example of such I've yet tasted anywhere. Better than several dim sum places in San Francisco for that matter. Just perfect. However, I had to ask for chili oil and it wasn't the finest, either in fact tasted a bit stale. (If you're picky about dim sum, you can be picky over chili oil, too.) The soy sauce on the tables was Kikkoman light . . . I would have hoped for a Chinese brand, especially Hong Kong's famed Koon Chun brand. Diluted red vinegar being served would also be nice, and not done here. So for the actual food, I highly recommend them. The restaurant though for the above reasons like the music and soy sauce feels a little rough though. With food this good, they could put a bit more effort in to really offer a seamless experience that wows but it's not quite there yet. read more

I can't express enough how amazing the food and service was here! Again, the food was absolutely delicious! Even my kids loved all of it! 10/10 recommend! read more

Timwah is a great choice for Dimsum at an affordable price but leaves a little to be desired in a few key areas when dining in. My partner and I love the rice and noodle entrees. They're delicious, filling and reasonably priced. The dim sum ALMOST never misses here. The pork buns and shumai are delicious. My one disappointment on our recent visit was the pineapple bun which was extremely lacking in filling and flavor. The service is generally great here, both dining in and for takeout, but the music being played in restaurant is always odd for one reason or another. It is always the same artist or set of songs being played on repeat. One instance it was 60+ minutes of Taylor Swift, our most recent visit was 60+ minutes of Christian rock music. It was just odd and a little disturbing to the relaxing evening we were trying to enjoy. I think a chill instrumental music playlist could go a long way here. read more

Came in for lunch and the place is clean. Service was quick but the star of the show was the food. The restaurant is not fancy but if you want Dim sum, this is the place. If you're not familiar with the food, there's pictures of the menu and ask if you're in doubt. read more

We found this place during our stop in Jax and immediately knew we had to stop here for dinner. I'm glad I did. Their dim sum was amazing. We tried an assortment of stuff, of which the pork and chive were my favorite. The kids loved the siu mai and soup dumplings. Husband and I liked the stuffed jalapeños and the taro bun. My kids thought the taro buns were so cute! I however do not recommend the salt and pepper shrimp. Not only was it too salty, the shrimp was battered (which isn't like any salt and pepper shrimp I've had) and the oil smelled old and overused. Service was fast. Our food arrived in a reasonable time. All our servers were sweet and served with a smile. The ambiance is pretty nice, warm and cozy. Overall I recommend the place. read more

This is probably my favorite dim sum restaurant in Jacksonville. The other restaurant that offers dim sum is YH Dim Sum, but I haven't found the quality and flavor of their dishes to be as good as Timwah. Timwah was portion size is a little smaller than YH, however. Interior is pretty bare bones with just a few tables. read more

Stopped by here for dinner before heading to Orlando to visit some friends! We saw that the reviews were great so we tried this restaurant out. Everything came out pretty quickly but we were rushed to order food since we came in a little late. My boyfriend and I really like soup dumplings but were disappointed that they were so dry and no broth or soup were left inside the dumplings. Just wish it still had the flavoring. If we would have came earlier on our road trip to eat here I bet they would have more options. Next time I do not mind trying it again. The Service was also pretty great too! Thank you! I would rate this restaurant a 3.5/4 kinda on the border to be honest. read more

Timwah Dim Sum Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Located in a strip mall not too far from IKEA. Wanted to try something different and the menu looked interesting so we thought we would give it a try. Walking in all the tables were full except one, lucky for us. Ordered the Salt and Pepper shrimp for an appetizer. It was delish. I couldn't stop eating them. This is salt and hot peppers. It was surprisingly not super hot so don't be shy getting this if you don't like heat. The soup dumplings are just dumplings so don't expect them in a soup broth. They were okay. Not a lot flavor. The chicken and cabbage dumplings had more flavor and nice to have as a side dish. However The BBQ pork stir fry rice noodles had a unique flavor and was very delicious. I would definitely add this as a main dish to share or eat as your own. read more

We are big fans of Lucky Cat Dimsum and Tim Wah is a sister restaurant. Tim Wah was bright and spacious. Tables were nicely spread out. The service was prompt and efficient and the food was delicious. I thought the steamed pork buns were excellent. I liked them better than Lucky Cat. The dumplings were oustanding and packed full of deliciousness. We preferred the pineapple buns at Lucky Cat because they have a piece of pineapple in each bun along with the pineapple mixture. The ones at Tim Wah did not. They do not serve from carts. The dimsum is definitely authentic and worth a visit. read more

BEST DIMSUM AT THE 904 We have been frequently dining at Timwah Dim Sum - a Chinese Dish of small steamed or fried savory dumplings containing various fillings served as a snack or usually the main course. There is a sheet where you list your food and drinks and the servers will take care of your order. Our usual pick consists of Shrimp Fried Rice for $10.99 and is always consistently yummy and good for two hungry homies plus 2 orders of Shrimp Shumai dumplings that comes in 3 pieces ($5.25) and Shrimp dumpling Hagao (Round shape) also comes in 3's and the same price and yes, we really love Shrimp lol If you haven't been here you should definitely give it a try and you will be happier camper if you did. Ever since we ate here over a year ago, we always look forward coming for lunch or dinner kudos to Emily, Chef and the crew for the delicious meals. #supportlocal #dimsumjax read more

Good food. Fast and efficient service both times I visited. Good parking. Prices reasonable for dim sum.

Wonderful dim sum, comparable to places in Atlanta/NYC for their flavor and freshness. They handmake all their items in house daily so it is fresh and doesn't have any preservative taste. They fillings are generous but not overwhelming--shrimp items are packed with shrimp without a lot of filler/starch, the sticky rice had a perfect ratio of rice to meat, the spinach dumplings you can actually taste the spinach in the wrapper. It is not too salty or greasy like dim sum can sometimes get. We are only in Jacksonville for one week and have already been been there twice. Food comes out fast, service is kind, and the place is well decorated and clean. A must visit for dim sum! read more

Menu can be intimidating but ask for help! read more

I took my nephew visiting from Indiana to Timwah. He was impressed. I'm not surprised. I think Timwah's taste & quality is better than the DimSum place (in a 2 storey building) in New York City I visited last month. The best thing we did was to come right when they opened. Compared to last week, coming for a late lunch & had to wait almost an hour hour outside in the heat. It was terrible. I waited because the food is so worth it. I usually order: Taro fried dumpling, Shrimp dumpling hagao, Shrimp Shumai, Shrimp & Chives, Pineapple buns. My nephew wanted Bokchoy & it was really good. Love this place. read more

Good dim sum is a bit difficult to come by in Jacksonville, but Timwah checks all the boxes! This restaurant has a heavy focus on dim sum, while offering a few large plates. This restaurant is GOOD! I was very excited to see taro on their menu, which is a hard find. Their cat and pig dumplings are also adorable! The steamed dumplings were nice and fluffy and the fried dumplings had the perfect crispy texture. Our server was very attentive and checked on us frequently. This is a great spot for a casual meal, or if you want to order a few dishes to share. I'll be back for some more taro! read more

Visited on a Tuesday during lunch service. Haven't been in awhile, and it was pretty busy. We were greeted shortly after arrival and quickly seated. The hostess / server was quick to bring beverages and orders out for in house and several take out orders. Since it was busy, it was a bit loud in there. We ordered the chicken fried rice, and a few orders of dim sum. They didn't have cart service that day (might only be on the weekends). My favorite dim sum order is Eggplant stuffed with Shrimp, and it was delicious! Ask for the hot oil to dip your dim sum in. Yummy! read more

Took off a few days to get some things done and scheduled a lunch date with my daughters to break up my day. Y'all already know I work in customer service, I like to think I'm good at it... so when I go out... I usually tend to go to places that equal or exceed what I would give to my clients. Walked in on Thursday around 12:30 (so normal lunch time)... go a table for 3... got our glasses of water and menus to look over immediately after being sat. Was given enough time to place our order, food came out in decent time (it is as they cook them), everything.... I mean everything was hot, fresh, crispy, sooo dang good!!!! This is one place that I actually leave happy, satisfied for price vs quality and can't wait to go back! This is a place you would recommend/take guest too! We got sesame balls, mango mochi, soup dumplings, chicken and cabbage dumplings, pork and chive, spinach dumplings, spring rolls, something with beef and bok choy (my absolute favorite, but didn't get a picture) Also... if you are a fan of chili oil..... this place has the best!!! I add a little soy sauce to mine and honestly eat it on everything served (especially my bok choy)... Oh and I got 1 side of jasmine rice to share (we actually mixed with chili oil and rolled up into our steamed bok choy). It really is incredible when restaurants give that special touch of quality and customer service now that places are increasingly high in price yet quality and/or customer service is lacking. Go here, I promise you will leave in a better mood then when you entered read more

Pretty decent dim sum restaurant! I would say the only downside is that there is a long wait time for the food, but it's because it comes out freshly made. I'd recommend the BBQ Pork Buns, Pork Soup Dumpling, Shrimp Dumplings, spare ribs, and the egg tarts! Although it doesn't hit as much as the big city dim sum restaurants, this is a good place to come to when you're craving smaller Asian dishes. read more

This is one of the better Dim Sum locations in Jacksonville. Be sure to come here a little earlier because this place does fill up very quickly. The menu is very self explanatory accompanied with pictures which is very helpful to make your selections. Was able to order the shrimp siomai, soup dumplings, fried shrimp balls, regular siomai and fried rice. Everything was very delicious and made fresh to order. The portions are pretty small but very reasonably priced. It's easy to get carried away. Overall a really solid dim sum location! Will be back again. Thank you for the delicious food! read more
