Beef flat noodles are off the dim sum menu but can be ordered anytime. It arrives hot and well done. However, they skimp on the amount of beef slices.

Fresh daily Dim Sum in middle of China Town. Great service, nice people, great made to order that is quick and very good!

While some may lament its nontraditional choice to serve dim sum all day long, that's exactly the aspect of Dim Sum King we love most. Read more

Small cozy cafe and excellent dim sum! Avoid the chicken feet, blood cake and cow tongue fish if you're not very adventurous!

Overall, Dim Sum King isn't as good as Ocean Palace or Fung's. It is cheaper and the food is ordered to your table instead of picking off of the little carts. The food is hotter but less tasty.

The shrimp dumpling / ha gau is good but the shrimp inside isn't as big as Ocean Palace or Fung's.

It seems strange that some dishes come with 3 pieces and others with 4 making sharing hard. Everything was delicious though.

The beef balls are ok. A much milder and less tasty version than what most dim sum places offer.

The beef noodle rolls are ok. Not too much beef and ok tasty. The portion is larger than most other dim sum places though.

The tofu wrapped pork is yummy but the dish we got tasted reheated / re-steamed.

Solid dim sum for a fast meal. The fried shrimp balls are fantastic.

Call in during peak hours and see about getting a number to reserve a table. Its not a guarantee but it could get you seated faster.

The BBQ pork buns are disappointing. Not a lot of sauce, very little pork, the buns fell apart and overall just not very tasty.

The shui mai / pork dumplings are not very good at all. Like just a regular ball of pork. Bleh.
