Dim Sum Palace

Another addition to the growing collection of Chinese restaurants in LIC -- but unfortunately quite a step below the many other delicious options in the area. I came for an early brunch on a Sunday, and there were plenty of tables available for our party of 2. I have to say, it is an interesting experience to order and eat from a Chinese dim sum menu while sitting in a restaurant with interior design that's still in the style of the old-time diner that used to occupy this space for the past century. We ordered some selection of dim sum options, which were largely pretty mediocre. The steamed spare ribs -- always a classic -- were a letdown. The meat was hard to chew, and the flavour just had very little depth (meat itself was bland and there was barely any flavour from the sauce). The turnip cake (usually one of my favourites) was similarly bland and dry. Chicken feet and the har gow (shrimp dumplings) weren't too bad. The shrimp dumplings were very juicy, but tasted a bit overcooked. The chicken feet were probably the highlight -- tender and juicy. The price point was also really high, not only for the amount and quality of food we had, but even just in comparison to the many, far better restaurants in the neighbourhood. I feel like this was just a rather disappointing experience overall, and I don't think I plan to come back in the near future.

Im glade we finally have a local place to satisfy our craving for DimSum. Happen to go in this snowy morning. Very nice surrounding, very nice indoor atmosphere, very friendly service, hot dishes, and variety choices for tea and cocktails. If you can consider providing more vegetarian dishes and halal meat dishes, im sure you can serve an even wider local popularity. Definitely will go back and recommend to colleagues, friends and neighbors. Keep the good job.🙏💓

We've been coming here consistently since it opened. The food has remained excellent, the service attentive, and the quality consistent. Items are well priced, especially for the quality and dining environment. I highly recommend checking this place out.

In my opinion the Jackson Avenue location of Dim Sum Palace is the best looking (renovation wise) and the food is great depending on the time you go in since each chef has a different cooking style however nonetheless the food is great. Service is commendable and not to mention the drinks? AMAZING. I spent my birthday there and i’m impressed by their service. Songs, singing and the huge cake. I recommend going after 5 for the best food experience flavor wise. One thing however is that it is definitely not wheelchair accessible. There are vegetarian options and everything is labeled clearly. The price is okay and portions are somewhat generous.

Fine, fast sit-down dining with tons of delicious small plates on a big menu, plus savory entrees, and solid, well-made cocktails to boot. Definitely enough for the hard to please, and for anyone who wants the classics, it’s easy. Great new spot, close to the E and G trains. Kind service.

I really like this restaurant. The food is delicious and very fresh, and the portions are huge! Four of us were completely full for just $120. We came back again the next day when we were in the area.

Tried a bunch of their dim sum for delivery. All the dumplings and the turnip cakes were delicious. The only thing I could do without next time was the scallion pancake. It might be great fresh out of the kitchen, but it did not hold up well for takeout.

Food was decent nothing spectacular though. Tim Ho Wan might be better. Service was extremely slow. 15min from being seated to a server greeting us. After that another 45min to get food and it came out one at a time. All said and done we were there 90min. They didn't have beef chow fun and rice noodle roll (X'd off menu). Beef shui mai was bland. Soup dumplings were flavorful. Pork spare ribs in black bean sauce were really chewy and not like they should be. Durian rollls were good. Really underwhelming from start to finish. Wouldn't go back - 2.8 ⭐️
