We were in the area and early for an appointment so we stopped in here for a Diet Coke and snack…read more 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.

It's been a few years since I've been here, so my wife and I visited Tim Wah yesterday. We ordered…read moreseveral 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.

The lychee martinis were a highlight (especially since they were doing BOGO ), and the staff made the whole experience even better super fun and great energy. If you're craving dim sum and a good time, this place is definitely worth the stop.

I love visiting Saint Augustine so I was so excited when I found this dim sum restaurant!…read more Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I was dining by myself. I always order a lot of dishes because I like what I like and I also know I'll have leftovers. I sent back the pan fried taro pudding because it was so bland and it didn't have many of the main ingredients in it. If it were there, it was so skimpy I didn't find any. (The Chinese sausage and dried shrimp) The pain fries soy sauce noodles were overcooked. It's suppose to be pan fried and it was not. Also very skimpy on the black mushrooms. Not very flavorful. The Steamed shrimp dumplings were mediocre. The skin was gummy and fell apart. The shrimp filling wasn't too bad. The shrimp with rice pasta was probably the best dish there. But it was still lacking in flavor. The steamed ribs with black bean sauce was very bland. The ribs were tough and tasteless. The braised chicken feet were over cooked. The texture was horrible like eating mush. The flavors were also off. The egg tarts looked good but the flavors again were off. Borderline going bad. It had that slight aftertaste of sourness. The shell was also flavorless. The BBQ pork buns were also disappointing. The ratio of bread to filling was off. Very small amount. But I was a little happy this happened because the filling didn't taste good at all. The hot tea was also disappointing. I always order jasmine tea when having dim sum. They used a low quality tea bag instead of real loose jasmine tea leaves which also includes the flowers. No fragrance at all of Jasmine tea. Needless to say, I will not be going back on my next visit. It was very expensive for what they give you. Especially since the food was so bad. I gave it two stars because the service was very good and the view was decent. I am Chinese... born in Hong Kong. So I know what dim sum should taste like. I wish I had seen the review that had a photo of the salt and pepper shrimp before I went because I would not have gone. Their salt and pepper shrimp is not authentic and I would have not gone and saved myself $80 for my lunch.

As…read moresoon as my niece and I got a hold of the list of items we could order, we couldn't stop checking off one delicious-looking dish after another! While we ended up ordering more than we could possibly fit in our stomachs, we were okay with that, because we could continue enjoying the food at home. Once we put in our order, dish after dish kept on coming out, filling our table and dazzling our eyes and noses. The highlights of the evening were the pork and chive dumplings, whose filling was plentiful, savory and was perfectly blanketed by a chewy silky wrapper perfectly pan fried, but not oily. The other amazing dish we both gobbled up without delay was the fried rice, that was seasoned to perfection and had big chunks of pork throughout. Fried rice like this can be so simple and yet so delicious - highlighting each of the ingredients individually and how they work together in harmony. Overall, the experience at Lucky Cat was exemplary, and I can't wait to return!

We had a 10 minute wait as the restaurant was busy with patrons. The menu was extensive and the food came out, hot and tasty within minutes. They had all the standard Dim Sum fare. We tried one of the shrimp noodle dishes and the noodles were light and airy on the tongue. Their sweet tea/ lemonade drinks were a refreshing non alcoholic treat. The restaurant was basically themed and noise was not overwhelming. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner or a date.

I'll start with what I would get again: the stir fried green beans, zen chili wontons, stir fry noodles, and the truffle pork soup dumplings. We got the signature sampler and I thought the truffle pork soup dumpling was the only one I would get again. The general tso chicken had good flavor but was super tough and stringy that we actually ended up throwing most away. Scallion cakes were flavorless. The rest of the things we got were just ok- Sweet & sour baby ribs, signature bao steam, shrimp & pork dumplings. There were a few other things that I wanted to try, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Staff was friendly and the ambience was nice but definitely casual.

Beef noodles - the broth taste decent and had just enough spicyness to my liking. The beef was tender and I would say to it's price has reasonable amount.

Veggie spring rolls- this actually surprised me as it came out super small ‍and almost nothing inside.

Jacksonville, and Orlando offer up some rich and diverse cuisine and that it's not uncommon for us to drive an hour to get good food. Living in Central Florida it is hard to get really good Dim Sum. But all that changed today when we visited the Dim Sum Express, located in Palm Coast. The place is a little hard to find, located in a beautiful strip mall behind the local Texas Roadhouse. Don't let the location of this place deceive you because this place is pure gold for those who love Dim Sum. The place is also very small, perhaps 4 or 5 tables, but you will be rewarded with some very fine food. We had heard of this place via the Internet, and, despite some glowing reviews, we were wary of them before we decided to check it out. And boy, were we pleasantly surprised. And what made Dim Sum Express exceed our expectations? The food, of course, both the freshness and taste of it. Many so-called Dim Sum places don't move the dumplings and meat enough to ensure freshness, with noticeable freezer and refrigeration taste, and the best ones make their items from scratch in house. Now I'm not sure what Dim Sum Express does, but the freshness and taste could not be denied here. We started out with the Cucumber Salad with Chili Oil. Talk about a palate awakening as the freshly cut sweetness of the cucumbers tasted delightful mixed with the spicy chili oil and fish sauce. Another winner was the Steamed Bok Choy severed with a sweet sauce that was very delicious. The Steamed Spare Ribs were also very tasty with the small pork riblets with black bean sauce were both fresh and savory. Now, the test of any Dim Sum place is always the dumplings and the Dim Sum Express served up some of the tastiest Classic Pork Shumai and Shrimp Shumai dumplings that we've ever had anywhere. These were the dishes that we had, and they also served other classic Chinese dishes, however, we were their for the Dim Sum and in Dim Sum Express we found a winner. Just how this place which has been open for the past six months and went under our radar is baffling. The whole meal, and it was very filling, came to $41 with tax, And I'm happy to report that we have finally found our place for Dim Sum in the Central Florida area.

I would come back for the experience but the quality of the food was mediocre. The best thing I ordered was the roast BBQ duck; not the juiciest but had good flavor. The turnip cake was mushy in the middle and hard/chewy on the edges; wouldn't recommend it. The beef rice noodle rolls had no flavor at all and it was ground beef for the filling instead of a compacted beef roll like a mini meatloaf that most dim sum places have. The staff was friendly and helpful.

No flavor, a lot of sauce with no flavor! and the hunks of Tofu! Did you see how big they are cubed up? They can cut them in a triangle so it's easier to eat, because I didn't get a knife to cut it! Yea! I wasn't happy with it! All this seasoning in this store, and it was bland! COM'ON man! Maybe the meat choices taste better, give it a shot, looks like a lot of people like the food here.

The food comes out hot and fresh and while it is on the pricier side when it comes to dim sum, the servings are pretty big. Highlight for me was the crystal shrimp dumplings. They come stuffed full with these huge chunks of shrimp and the wrapper isn't too thick or chewy. The sticky rice was also pretty decent and had a good amount of meat inside. Usually the pan fried radish cake is one of my favorite dishes, so I am a little more picky when it comes to these. So I thought these were okay. They still hit the craving, but it was a little more dense than I was expecting. The server was also super friendly, making sure she got our order right despite a little bit of a language barrier.
