I was excited to try this restaurant out because of so many good reviews. We got there at 10:10 am on Sunday morning. There was already half way packed. The waiters and waitresses were nice a and attentive. However, the dim sum was not as good as we expected. They all tasted like from last night and re-heated. For the steamed dim sum, they are not even hot, most of them are lukewarm or even cold. We wouldn’t come back. The Yummy House in Tampa is much better tasted than this one.
When I arrived at Dim Sum hours for lunch there was a line! I was immediately greeted by lovely decor and children following their favorite fish in their house tank. The Large family seated to my left had come all the way from Minnesota to enjoy Ha Long Bay! Their Dim Sum is delicious and their customer service is outstanding. You'll be missing out on St. Petersburg if Ha Long Bay isn't on your foodie tour!
First time to eat here so I kept it simple! I ordered from the lunch menu with the addition of some wonton soup. Sweet and Sour chicken lunch came with rice and an eggroll.
Sweet and Sour chicken was delicious... although the sauce could use more SOUR. It was pretty sweet (Americanized) lollipop sauce. I have an Cantonese recipe for this sauce that used Apple Cider Vinegar, and it is nice and tart / sweet. That is what I always hope for.
Wonton soup was delicious, could have made a meal of just that and been very happy!
Eggroll was huge, and really delicious!
Rice... properly cooked, and not mush. Yum!
All in all... a great lunch! I will be back!

Nice Asian restaurant that has both Chinese food as well as Vietnamese food. They have a large dim sum menu as well. The food was tasty, and the staff was friendly and attentive.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally a great Asian restaurant complete with tasty Dim Sum menu and Chinese items and Vietnamese items. I always order King Pao chicken as a test of a new place and it was so good. Lots of fresh vegetables, chicken wasn’t over cooked, sauce was perfect and solid rice. The hot sauce on the table pictured was fantastic. Also, the interior is nice, complete with fish tank and waterfall. Prices were very reasonable. Tip well, we want these people to be happy and continue. Get ready for a treat. It’s worth the drive!
Waited for about 30 minutes for dim sum, it was very busy and crowded. Have heard about this restaurant and decided to give this a try since we were in the area
Foods were ok, the shrimp dumplings, chive and shrimp’s dumplings wrappers were a bit on the thicker side for my liking.
The service was decent, didn’t have the wow factor for me as everyone had hyped it up to be.

Good chinese restaurant. The foodnwas tasty specially the General TSO Chicken. Service was ok, there was a disconnect with who was assisting us. So many people taking care of us at the same time. It was confusing. Other than that, I would definately come back if I am in the area.
Excellent Cantonese style food. Owner and staff is Vietnamese but they nailed the authentic Cantonese dishes. Dim sum is awesome with most of the common popular options, especially on the weekends.
This is rated solely on dim sum since that’s all that I had.
First of all, this is the only restaurant in the Tampa Bay area that has dim sum every day until 4 PM.
It is reasonably priced, the attendants were really friendly, the dishes can quickly, and they were fantastic. There was a pan fried chive dumping that I wouldn’t order again because I didn't care for the taste, but it was cooked perfectly with a great chewy dumpling skin and a crunchy golden brown on each side. Next time I will try the pork and chive dumping to replace that one.
I am looking forward to taking my kids here to try a bunch more dim sum offerings.

This place is our favorite dim sum spot. We went on a Saturday - they have an excellent choice of dim sum dishes and one is in and out, plenty satisfied in an hour. We recommended. It is our go to spot!
