The food is so fantastic! I tried braised beef noodle soup and pork with Chinese cabbage dumplings, to those who like noodles highly recommend! Was so flavored and yummy! The dumplings was good also and the shape is just designed to look like a Chinese cabbage lol. With the service everything is just perfect, the waiter r all very young and fun, like they smiles all along :) very friendly to help and introduce the foods ,the lady in the front desk by the cashier told a lots of interesting things. Last at all, don't go wrong, this is the right place for dim sum! read more

Tom's Dim Sum - Pork with 8 Piece Chinese Cabbage Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

This was my first time trying the media location. I have ordered take out a few times from the Chinatown location in Philadelphia. With the exception of getting the wrong order, the food was always pretty good. We went to the media location on a Saturday night around 7:30. We had to wait about 20-30 minutes for a table. The restaurant was quite small. The menu had a large variety. We had the Shanghai bok Choy, pork soup dumplings (my favorite) and each had our own entrees. I got the shrimp and broccoli over rice while my friend had the chicken and broccoli over rice. The food was excellent, it came out very quickly. Only 4 stars because the service was incredibly slow. They must have been understaffed but no one came to our table after the delivery of our food. We had to get up and ask for our check and get up to pay for the food as well. read more

Terrific service, friendly staff and great food BUT... the Xiao Long Bao ("pork soup dumplings") don't live up to the hype. The "soup" is super fatty & salty = they may want to call them GRAVY dumplings instead. Outside of the soup dumplings everything else was great, we'll be back. read more

This place has a must have dish, the soup dumplings. I would come back just for this dish. Prices are extremely affordable and the food was real solid. The ambiance is over your average chinese restaurant. The service was fast, but innacurate ( entree came first and they missed an appetizer. I usually don't give 5 stars unless the place blows me away. I would highly recommend this place for a quick lunch. read more

Fabulous food and fabulous waiter! Seafood rice noodles, beef sticks, dim sum vegetables! First time here ! Zen was so helpful with a tremendous staff!! Clean place and clean bathroom! Must try !! read more

NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY. Apparently there are 0 vegan options here, or at least that's what the wait staff told me. I went to dinner here after reading online that they have vegan options. When it came time to order, I asked our waiter if the general tso's tofu is vegan. He stated that it's vegetarian. I again asked if it's vegan, clarifying that this includes no dairy or eggs, and he said that it's not vegan because it contains eggs. I completely understand this, so I asked him what vegan options are on the menu. The waiter said there are not any vegan items. I requested that he ask the cook what vegan options there might be, and he again repeated that there are none, refusing to check with the kitchen. Obviously you would think that rice or steamed veggies would be an option at least, but when I again asked if anything is vegan, he stated something about everything having eggs (??). He then stepped away from me and took the order of the person sitting next to me in my group. The others in my group are non-vegan so they were able to eat at least, but I sat hungrily through the meal. My whole group was appalled by the waiter's demeanor and dismissiveness. It was honestly such a bad experience that it bordered on comical. Probably the worst service I've received in the ~14 years that I've been vegan. I've been to places that are extremely carnivore-oriented and even they have offered me fries or some plain lettuce. Not here though. read more

We recently found this restaurant and love it. We have only been able to order takeout as of yet but can't wait to dine in. The food is amazing and the dumplings are the best! We have tried a bunch of different dishes and loved them all. read more

We love this place. The dumplings are amazing and the noodle soup is great. We like to try different kinds of dumplings but the soup dumplings are our favorite. The pork and scallion ones are close runner up. We were very happy to discover they would deliver via GrubHub. Sometimes we like the crazy-busy hubbub of the Media location (BYOB) but sometimes we would rather have dumplings and Netflix. read more

Two dishes came out cold... one was the steamed dumpling.. which was probably not safe to eat. The second was a fried banana pastry. We sent the dumplings to reheat but just gave up on the banana. Their soup dumplings weren't bad, and I enjoyed the stir fried rice cakes. It's probably as good as it gets in media, unfortunately read more

I just read that it happened to another customer ordered online and drove a half hour to pick up the food only to be told they placed the order wrong way. You have a website with online ordering and it does not work you fix it. If you have 2 websites one works and one does not you have all of the traffic from the non working site redirected to the new site automatically. Toms dim sum has known about this for 2 weeks not to have fixed it just shows that they do not care about their potential customers. A business which treats customers this way should shut its doors permanently. read more

I got the garlic shrimp and I would definitely recommend. My partner also enjoyed the general Taos chicken!

Great place for tacos. My family and I always go here when we want mexican. Highly recommended.

Love this little gem!! In a small town, this was Fantastic!! 3 different Dim Sum dishes and a Stir fry Seafood Udon and the Scallion Pancakes!! Everything was Amazing!! And our waiter was very attentive, we never ran out of drink or anything we needed, very impressed, Highly Recommended!! read more

I was not that happy with the food I ordered. 1. The Shanghai Shumai was rather bland with the flour wrapper a bit raw at the top. 2. The pork stir fry with the handmade noodles in brown sauce was not good. The pork was not tender but dry. The noodles were clumped together. 3. The vegetable bun was good but there was too much oil in the vegetables. So, when you bit into the bun, oil would leak out and soak the bun. 4. The sweet rice pudding filled with red bean paste and surrounded by a clear sweet sauce was not fresh. This dessert was a disaster. The sweet rice was dry and hard, where i found myself chewing on the hard rice kernels. The dessert was just drowned out by too much sauce. 5. I did like the service. read more

The soup dumplings are out of this world! I drive an hour just to get them. The staff is very attentive and friendly read more

Tom's Dim Sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

I ordered online from the link on their Facebook page. I even received a confirmation email. I drove 25 minutes to pick up my order. I was told I ordered from the "old" website and that they do not have my order. Why is there an old website still accepting orders and why is it linked from their fb page?? I was told, while standing in their restaurant, that I had to redo my order on their new website. Ridiculous. I posted on Facebook and other diners have faced this same frustration, so the restaurant has to be aware. read more

The pan fried beef dumplings are the reason to come here! Seriously, they are amazing. We have been here several times now and with a couple different groups and they are the stand out winners. The other dim sum options are solid, but the beef dumplings are crave-able. The dim sum offerings really are the reason to come here. The dinner entrees are all decent, but nothing that wows you. The service has been friendly and attentive everytime I have come here. read more

My husband and I dined in here because of the good recommendations we got from our friends, and we left the place in utter disappointment. We were so excited for the walnut shrimp and the food just didn't seem like it was freshly cooked. It had a soggy texture and was not appealing to our tastebuds at all. The only thing we enjoyed about that dish were the walnuts and the broccoli. The fried rice was bland in taste. I'm giving two stars because the only ones that tasted good were the shumai and the fried wings. I have no complaints about the service we received. read more

Was lucky enough to spend Christmas Eve here. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Everything was perfect here. The staff were so friendly b and helpful. The food was great. We stayed with various dumpling, which came out very quickly. So delicious. I particularly liked the soup dumplings. So flavorful. We finished off with some entrees. Everything was delicious. Would definitely down back again!! read more

Great service with a smile from all the staff. From beginning to end. The crab soup dumplings were awesome as well as the fried pork dumplings. The beef fried rice and General Tsao's Tofu were seasoned perfectly. The shredded pork was spicy and hot. The cold noodles were savory. We even bought a noodle bowl for our daughter at home and was happily surprised with the great chicken broth and incredible wontons. Yes we will be back. The value and food was unmatched. Customers for life made tonight. Than you all read more

Their soup dumpling (XLB) is good, a little bit too sweet. However, the pan fried dumpling is not good. Too much soy sauce in the pork. Also, their service process needs improvement. They sent our order to another table and let us waited more than half an hour for our XLB. read more

This place is awesome! Not quite authentic dim sum in that they aren't pushing around carts and 80% of the menu is various forms of dumplings. But the food is phenomenal and if you like dumplings, this is the place for you! It can get busy, so call ahead if you can. read more

I want to love this place. Sometimes I do but the food and service is just too inconsistent for me to get excited about going there anymore... Bummer. read more

I used to love Tom's, but my latest order was absolutely awful! First of all, the mark up for Grub Hub delivery is ridiculous, but that's beside the point. The pork with brown sauce noodle was so over cooked that the noodles were literally disintegrating and the ground pork was dry and crumbly. As if that wasn't bad enough, I opened our order of beef and broccoli to find a hair in the food! I immediately called the restaurant, but was told that my only option was to bring the dish back to the restaurant myself for a replacement. Thankfully, I was able to procure a refund through grub hub. Poor customer service and poor quality food, I won't be returning! read more

Best darn dumplings outside Philly! Menu is clear and easy to understand and the value for money is excellent. read more

Tom's soup dumplings are the best. Absolutely 5*. I could probably become a vegetarian if not for these dumplings. We often get one order of these per person plus a couple orders of garlicky baby bokchoy or Chinese broccoli, and some brown rice- very inexpensive ultra delicious dinner! It gets crowded, especially on Weekend nights so make reservations. read more

Soup dumplings here were incredible! So tasty! The servers here were not super friendly, but the food was awesome.

This place is a great addition to Media. Almost didn't go because of some reviews but pulled the trigger and decided to go for it because I wanted to finally try soup dumplings and it panned out! The pork soup dumplings were fantastic. Came out fast, hot and tons of flavor! I would go back just for the pork soup dumplings, but I can't wait to go back and try the others! The scallion pancakes were pretty good, and the Lo mein (believe it's called something different on the menu) was average which is why I don't give this place 5 stars. Definitely a must try in Media! (SOUP DUMPLINGS) read more

I really enjoy coming here. My usual companion at one of Media's newest additions on State Street is my lovely 70-something neighbor, The Baroness. I wouldn't call her fussy but, she is not one to hold her tongue and she's as subtle as a heart attack. She lived it. I loved it. The menu is a great read. It includes bits of history about the cuisine and how or why it came to be. Fascinating info. The dishes are shared very well with very good portions enough for two. I had the won ton soup. It was arguably the best I've had in recent memory. We followed by sharing an order of light and tasty spring rolls and dumplings that were delicious. *Mind yourself. The inside temps on these things are VERY HOT* The service was excellent and the recommended entrée of braised beef melted in our mouths. From the tea to the bill, it has become one of our favorite light meal places. Dinner for two (soups, 2 appetizers, and shared entrée) less than $30. We added a 25% gratuity and left very impressed. read more

Overpriced. Food is mediocre. You're better served going to Chinatown in Philadelphia for this. I ordered beef and tribe for 11. 25 dollars and oh I got was a pile of cilantro with about 15 pieces of b beef /tripe. In Chinatown you will get probably 10 times with that price. read more

Try their vegetable buns. They are great. Don't get confused and go to the location next door which is having their grand opening

Really good restaurant along State St. in Media. Nice atmosphere, quality consistent food. BYOB. Do a nice job with dining in or call ahead for speedy take out. read more

This is a hidden gem of Media. You are getting so much bang for your buck! Absolutely love the meat bun and the triple steam bun. I will be honest and say that I was skeptical about the soup filled dumplings. I was not sure how I was going to eat this odd, new contraption. I was pleasantly surprised with my first experience with the soup dumpling! Add a little bit a dumpling sauce and you're golden from there! I will be back with a group soon so try the 2nd half of the menu! Awesome food! Awesome experience! Try the soup dumplings!!! read more

One of those tough reviews where I'd like to hit maybe the 3.5 star mark. A group of friends from work decided we'd check out some dim sum for a Saturday lunch. We went to Tom's, being that a few of us were familiar with the city location. The couples all ordered their own food. Overall, it was good. My wife and I had the pork soup dumplings (good amount of broth and tasty), a meat steam bun (also good filling, wish there was a little more), shanghai shui mai (haven't had them before. Rice was well seasoned, couldn't pick out much else in it), crystal shrimp dumplings (probably the most disappointing part. They were kind of starchy/pasty and didn't have much filling. The wrapper was also sort of thick and chewy.), scallion pancakes (super crispy, hot, and tasted great), plus fried pork and cabbage dumplings (a little small, but delicious.) Price and service was good. Actually, service was almost a little too quick. Unlike dim sum served from carts where you can pace a little better, almost all our food cans out at once. Not the worst thing since it was all hot and fresh, but our table got PACKED! While they had some variety, you don't get all the great options at a cart served dim sum. I'd recommend this as a good location to check out dim sum outside of the city. read more

I really want to love this place especially because it's so close to home, but it just didn't wow me. Service was good, but the food was just ehhh. Everything that we ordered came out only luke warm. Soup dumplings are known to set a hole in you mouth from the high temperature of the broth, but upon the first bite, I felt no steam. Same with the shrimp shumai, pork soy sauce noodles, shanghai wonton soup, and roasted duck soup. I'm unsure if they do not have a heat lamp to keep food warm, but eating room temperature food did not wow me. Onto the flavor- each dish did have good flavor except for the duck noodle soup.i highly recommend just skipping it all together. The broth tasted straight up like water. My favorite flavored dish was the minced pork soy sauce with hand drawn noodles. To me, the noodles didn't taste hand drawn, but the seasoning of the meat sautéed with the bok choy was delicious. Again, I do wish it was wamer. Overall: I will be back to give them another shot. I do hope they pick up their temperature game next time around. I promise I won't sue. Lol. read more

We ordered Beef Chow Fun, Beef w Broccoli, and Beef w Black Pepper. We also had Pork Soup Dumpling. We left very satisfied. Great service, helpful w menu and options, clean, fast, and attentive! read more

Pass! I've been coming to the Media location since they opened and I have to say its gone downhill. From pushy waiters to just awful food. My pan fried pork dumplings were destroyed by the overwhelming taste of butane. My entree of general Tso's chicken tasted like chicken soaked in ketchup. And we ordered dinner and got lunch sized entrees. Overall I have to say pass on this place. It's just not good. read more

Excellent food, wait was a bit long and parking is damn near impossible close by, but you will need the walk after the food. Flavor was excellent. Will be back read more
