Dim Sum House

Wow this placed surprised me with how good the food was! Only complaint is prices are a bit high and service toward the end of the meal was slow. I found the Singapore noodles too oily and the squid tentacles overcooked, but everything else we tried was as delicious as other highly rated dim sum places in other cities.

We absolutely loved it here. The quality and quantity of food here is very good. It tasted like my childhood reminding of all the days my family used to go out to Dim Sum. All the signature dishes are there and we will definitely come back.

Saved ourselves the drive in to Mississauga or Markham this Sunday, by stopping in at Hamilton’s own Dim Sum House downtown. Ordered the usual suspects on their high-tech iPad self-select menu in English with photos to illustrate - shrimp dumpling (ha gow), shao mai, pork peanut and chive chiu chow dumplings, spring rolls, taro fritters, beef rice roll, steamed pork buns, pan-fried pot-stickers - and a dry-fried soy beef chow fun, to test their noodle offering. Disappointing rice noodle roll (the beef filling was way too processed and had a slightly sour “off” taste to it 😝) while the flat rice noodles seemed to have been reconstituted from dry, and not fresh from the refrigerator section of Asian markets. However, quality of the sliced beef was good, seasoning on point: flavourful not overly salty. Would recommend staying away from any “rice noodle” items on the menu. All other selections were comparable in standard 👍 to other Chinatown locations across the GTA. Overall, a worthwhile visit, especially with gas prices these days!

Fried cowboy bones are completely bad and stinky. You can't eat them. Fooling customers with expired food. And the food was served very slowly, with a mandatory 15% tip at the checkout and no advance notice to me or my friends.

Really enjoyed the congee soup and various dim sums. The pork bun was amazing, sweet and savory. Great service, worth a trip.

I think I’ve been coming here for about 2 or 3 years now and it never disappoints. Quality of the food and serving sizes are very fair and the service is great. The restaurant is usually very clean and the atmosphere is nice as well. Im sure you’ll find some better options in the east end BUT if you’re local to the area and aren’t keen on driving into Markham/Toronto then this place is sure to please and satisfy those dim sum cravings!

When I was growing up, I always associated Chinese restaurants with good food and tacky/run down décor. No more. This place takes it up a notch. It's clean, with updated décor and it's clear care has been taken to make the place presentable and comfortable. And... the food is awesome. There are lots of dim sum classics, but they don't have everything, as it's a small restaurant, so you may not get everything you're looking for. I miss the carts rolling around with staff yelling out what they are bringing around, but that's 100% nostalgia from my childhood. Here, you order whatever you like and it's brought out fresh. Bathrooms are not very accessible as they are down steep and narrow stairs in the basement, but there are four individual rooms that are useable by anyone. Prices are reasonable, service was speedy, and staff were friendly. It can be tough to find a good dim sum place outside of the GTA, but this one, despite the limited menu, scratches the itch. I've returned multiple times. Worth your consideration IMHO.

My first experience at Dim Sum House was wonderful. Food was beyond expectation, service is a great, and the vibe is very relaxing. I could not be happier with this experience. I will definitely be going again.
