Dimsum Palace

"Delicious dimsum and fast, friendly service. We had food at our table 30 seconds after we sat down. The staff was friendly and helpful with the different dishes. We had some crispy pork dumplings, crystal shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and some egg tarts. I couldn't believe how small the bill was. Will definitely be back."

"The dim sum here is very fresh. We appreciated the fast service. The portions were big and the ingredients were very fresh! Nana was our waitress and she was very good! This is our new favorite spot for Dim Sum!"

"TLDR: Excellent dim sum and great service! They have all your classic dim sum choices as well as a few exotic options (hello black truffle dumplings). Dim sum is available to order anytime, but go to the weekend morning push cart service for the full experience. Vibe: 5/5. Located right of rt. 40 in the Lotte shopping center, Dim Sum Garden took over the old Foodbao location, and did a fully renovation to the space. The restaurant is well laid out, with ample 2-4 top seating as well as a handful of large party circular tables complete with lazy Susans in the center. They also have 2 private rooms in the back for the extra large parties. The tables are intuitively laid out so the dim sum push carts can easily navigate down the center aisle between table rows. Wait time can vary, especially on weekends, but during our visit my party of 2 came at 11:30am on a Sunday and were seated immediately. We watched a line queve up closer to noon, but all were seated in less than 15 minutes. Tables are clean and adorned with your own personal jar of chili oil and soy sauce. Service: 5/5. The staff at dim sum palace were friendly and efficient at getting us our beloved dim. As mentioned before, the host seated us immediately and as soon as we sat down, we started ordering off the carts. Our waitress brought out hot tea upon request and did a great job keeping both the tea and water topped off. The dim sum cart staff did a fantastic job at doing their rounds and keeping the carts full. One thing I particularly appreciated was when you picked out an item, the cart staff would give you a fresh one from the center of the stack vs the exposed one on the top. This guaranteed us hot items each time. Food: 4/5. A very solid entry in the Maryland dim sum scene, with this being one of the best in the Baltimore area. Typically for this calibre of dim sum you need to travel down to NOVA or Rockville/Bethesda. They have all your classic favorites such as hargow, shumai, rice rolls, taro puffs, custard buns etc, but they also offer a few oddities that were fun to try. The black truffle shrimp dumpling is the perfect example. The truffle flavor from the black wrapper worked so nicely with the meaty shrimp filling that we ordered multiple orders. Another fun option was the salted egg custard bun, which had a black and gold bun and oozed custardy filling. My only gripe is the premium you pay for this dim sum experience. Our table of 2 ordered around 10 items and our bill came out to just under $100 before tip. Typically we spend on average closer to $60-70 at comparable places closer to DC where there's more competition. This makes this place from a frequent casual weekend spot to a once in awhile treat yoself. Overall, highly recommend Dim Sum Palace if you have that dumpling itch that needs scratching!"

"Dimsum brunch deserves a 5/5 rating, and I have no complaints about it. Unfortunately, the dinner menu only gets a 2/5 because the food was not properly cooked and lacked taste. The Sichuan spicy fish dish was disappointing due to the unusual, flavorless spicy oil (not hotpot sauce), and the fish itself lacked any taste. As for the clams, they were just okay but felt overpriced. Youtiao changfun (chinese donut with rice roll) isn’t tasty because donut is not soft."

"Trying out the new Dim Sum place in town. Went for Sunday lunch. Doors open at 11 and there was already a line out the door. The food was overall pretty good for dim sum in the Maryland area. We tried most items that came around in the carts. There are a few items that do not come on cart and has to be ordered by menu. Being a new place the carts come in waves as the kitchen likely is making the steamed items in batches. So be prepared to wait a little between cart service. They have a ton of staff on hand so it was easy to get service when needed. Prices are fair for dim sum. Thier food tasted fresh. We spent about an hour and 15 minutes for our large group of 8. They also have a regular Cantonese menu I am likely to try on my next trip here"
