"There aren’t many options for dim sum in University City, which makes Dim Sum House super useful. We typically bring a group and go for the scallion pancakes or honey-vinegar spare ribs, plus a couple of spring rolls and golden egg tarts. So come with a few people, engulf some wontons in chili oil. You can make reservations ahead of time, in case you don't want to risk having to wait for dim sum elsewhere in the city." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"You’re in a neighborhood where heavy backpacks outnumber any other bag at least 3-to-1, so you’ll need a restaurant with some space when meeting up with friends after a shift or class. Dim Sum House has plenty of large tables and shareable plates like soup dumplings and eggplant in garlic sauce. If your group comes ravenous, go for both, plus a couple of noodle plates and a round of their crunchy salt and pepper wings. Just be prepared to have deep thoughts about using the bags as an impromptu mattress—-if you stuff your face and the idea of getting up anytime soon feels offensive." - candis mclean
"With a menu longer than our DVR list after a long vacation, it may be hard to decide between truffle edamame lobster sticky rice or eggplant in garlic sauce when ordering at Dim Sum House. But if your group comes hungry, you should go for both dishes, plus a couple of noodle plates and a round of their crunchy salt and pepper wings. With massive tables throughout the dining space, you could probably fit your extended family and their extended family in here, especially if everyone’s down for soup dumplings and scallion pancakes." - candis mclean
"Stop: 40th St. Station (Market-Frankford Line) If you don’t live in West Philly, taking a trip over the river can seem like a voyage similar to the one Chance, Sassy, and Shadow take in Homeward Bound. But when you’re hanging out inside a heated SEPTA car, it doesn’t seem all that far. And if you’re going to Dim Sum House, the train essentially brings you right to their front door. We especially like this place because you can get a full, sit-down dinner here until 1am with things like soup dumplings and beef-stuffed scallion pancakes. They also have a full bar with a pool table, so you can turn this into a night out and delay your inevitable journey back home through the frozen tundra." - sydney mcelwee
"Both Dim Sum House locations — University City and Rittenhouse — are selling their signature cocktails named after movies, like the Chase the Dragon with Knob Creek rye, chrysanthemum syrup, grapefruit, and poppy tincture. There’s a full bar so a lot of the standard mixed drinks will be available too." - Rachel Vigoda
