Dim Sum Garden

If you have not tried Chinese Dim Sum, this is the place to experience it. There are several restaurants in Philly Chinatown that serves Dim Sum, but this is our go-to place. All dumplings are freshly made in-house. So some of the dishes may require 15-20 wait for it to be properly steamed or fried. Clearly, some of the wait staff may not be as fluent in English as they are with Mandarin or Cantonese. So please be understanding of this. The place is usually very busy, and may need to be patient on drinks and food. Also, be sure to bring cash, as this they only take cash. However, there is a ATM inside the entrance of the restaurant, just in case.

Very good Dim Sum! I took my coworker who had never had Dim Sum before here and it was a hit. The chicken soup dumplings were a delight and absolutely delicious! The food was very reasonably priced and we got a lot of bang for our buck. This location is somewhat handicap accessible. The upside is that the resturaunt is at ground level and they have a ramp so that the second floor is accessible. The downside is that the passageways were very tight and there isn't much room to store a mobile chair; we had to get creative by removing the arm rests and scooting the chair under the table. Just as a heads up, this location is a cash only restaurant (as of my visit today - 11/12/23)

Really great place to eat dimsum cash only though they have an ATM in the front that charges a 2$ fee but it was worth it, I ordered pan fried beef dumplings, pan fried pork and nappa, spicy spicy pork soup dumplings and the pumpkin cakes all met my expectations well. Atmosphere was good restroom was clean.

I visited this restaurant expecting several carts loaded with tasty dimsums rolling around tables and you pick what you want. No, I was wrong. That's Hong Kong style, and this one's Shanghai style, so no cart... Instead I needed to order from their menu which clearly shows their specialty as soup dumplings, "Xiaolongbao". I ordered a pork version. It came out quick, and all eight of them looked properly inflated with soup inside without any leak. At the first bite, hot soup inside a dumpling greeted me with full taste! But it can burn your mouth if you're not careful... It was authentic and delicious Xiaolongbao. A server kept asking me to order more food though I was alone... Also they only accepts cash, and have an ATM at the entrance.
