summary: a "classic" dim sum experience where they walk around with carts and mark a paper order sheet as you eat. It gets packed pretty quickly, so I'd recommend getting their ahead of time if you're not trying to wait. The food is delicious and the dim sum experience is always a fun one if you've never tried before.Context: my family and I went on a Sunday morning at 10:50 and there was already a line coming out of the door (they open at 11). You should definitely get there ahead of time if you're trying to meet a party. I believe their restaurant policy is that they don't let you be seated unless at least half your party is present.The ambiance does get a little bit hectic because the restaurant is so busy so early, but that's also kind of part of the whole dim sum experience.Mostly everything was very delicious and fresh. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the black pepper short rib where the meat was a bit chewy. Otherwise, no complaints about the food.The service is a bit spotty mainly because there's so many people there and how busy it was, so I would try to ask for things in advance if possible. To clarify, it wasn't anything bad. Just ask for things like refills or napkins ahead of time.All in all, it was a delicious meal with a fun experience and we'll definitely be back again.

Came here for some dim sum...This is a relatively new dim sum restaurant along Route 40 in Catonsville. We decided to stop by for a dim sum early dinner.We were greeted by a pleasant man and taken to our seat. The restaurant was an open concept and clean with pleasant staff ready to take our order.We got the crystal shrimp, seafood sui mai, and baked barbecue buns; the Hong Kong pan fried noodles and the steamed pork ribs.The crystal shrimp dumpling was fresh and tasty, covered with a clear dumpling wrapper. The seafood sui mai was loaded with shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat in a dumpling dough that was really good. The star of this party was the baked barbecue pork buns. Baked golden brown buns encased around a pulled pork barbecue filling with a hint of sweetness, (*chef's kiss).Now the items that were definitely a miss: the steam pork ribs were no more than a mound of riblet bones with a bunch of cartilage, little meat, and taro, which I wasn't prepared for as the stark contract in texture from the pork ribs to the mushy taro was not to our liking. The Hong Kong style pan noodles were the most expensive item we ordered ($11.99) and a HUGE disappointment. The noodles arrived with little veggies and no meat, I would advise to not order these two items and, if you just want dim sum, concentrate on those amazing menu items.All in all, with the exception of the noodles and pork ribs, we are going back to check out more of the extensive dim sum offerings!

I used to enjoy this place, but the quality has definitely gone downhill. The beef chow fun was especially disappointing--the noodles were undercooked and tasted raw, with an unpleasant, unripe flavor. I had to re-cook it at home just to make it somewhat edible. Several of the dim sum dishes also didn't taste as good as they used to, which was really disappointing.The service wasn't great either. We sat down and couldn't find anyone to help us, and even after the food arrived, there was no water or tea. On the bright side, the staff were polite, which is why I'm giving three stars.I really hope they improve and get back to the quality they had before!

5/5!! No, 10 out of 5!!!! I could give this place all the stars if I could :)My husband and I have been wanting to try Dimsum Palace for the longest time, and we finally had the courage to take our 8 month old to do lunch here. The entire experience from start to finish was SO amazing. I cannot stop raving about this place.1. Ambiance: Spacious and clean. It's very casual and nothing fancy. But I loved how clean they keep the place. They use disposable table cloths and change it every time a new group dines. Really appreciated that especially given we are more health- and germ- conscious post COVID.2. Service: Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding. Everyone was so understanding and accommodating. They offered a booster seat before we asked for one (FYI - SUPER CLEAN. I've seen some nasty ones), got my kid a plastic plate and a spoon, even a separate to go water cup with a lid and a straw. It's not easy dining out with a little kid, especially when we feel unwelcome. But everyone at Dimsum palace were so nice and supportive.. it almost made me tear up a little. 3. Food!!! OMG. The BEST dimsum I've had in a WHILE. My go-to in the DMV area is China Garden Hangong, but Dimsum Palace offered HUGE dimsums (almost felt jumbo sized) with comparable / better taste. I think I found my new go-to dimsum place!!All in all, this was one of the best dining out experience I have had in a while. Thank you for making our day! We will certainly be back :)

Love the food here! They have a big dining room in the front and a private room in the back for parties. The staff was nice and very helpful explaining certain foods. The dim sum was delicious and this is one of my favorite spots in the area for dim sum. They also have traditional Cantonese dishes too.

This spot is hopping and there's a line on Sundays out the door. The wait isn't too long since most of the dim sum is on pushcarts and they turn their tables fast. We were done within an hour even though we ordered beef chow fun and stir fried turnip cake with XO sauce from their kitchen. Everything tastes so fresh - you can tell from the dumpling wrappings if they are frozen or fresh - these shrimp dumplings and black truffle dumplings definitely are freshly prepared. I love the creativity to take turnip cakes and stir fry with XO suace - but this also means that they had to use less turnip/flour ratio to get a firmer consistency to prevent it from falling apart. Still delish. Ithe vibe is high energy. The servers are great at changing dirty plates, taking empty dim sum steamers/plates away, refilling on teas. This is the kind of "fast food" that I'll have any day!

It's nice having a good dim sum place in the area. We'll definitely go back again. Dimsum Palace is big, bright and clean. All our dishes were very good. The serving size is a little bigger than other dim sum I've had, but I'm not complaining about that lol. Service was friendly and fast.

If I could whisper rather than give a shout out for this restaurant, that might help to keep it as one of the best kept secrets in Maryland! The food is fresh and delicious. This restaurant is also very clean, unlike some other restaurants I've been to. The service is very attentive even on the busy days, and the decor is fresh. Need I say more? Sorry to say I didn't take any pictures of the food because we couldn't wait to devour it! You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu but I'll take some pictures the next time we go there!!

The place was incredibly packed when I pulled up about 30 minutes after opening. people were already outside waiting for a table. the wait wasn't long if you were a small table. I ended up placing an order to go instead of waiting for a table. the food was decent, much better than some of the dim sum spots I've been to in Northern Virginia.

Happy to find a Cantonese restaurant in our way back home from DC to Jersey! Arrived at the restaurant around 1pm on a Saturdays. There were 5 of us, the wait was only about 15 minutes. There is a lotte supermarket in the same plaza. So we did a little shopping before handing back home as well.The waitresses were really friendly at the restaurant. We ordered a few dim sum, fried rice and beef chow fun. Everything came tasty, hot and fresh! The restaurant is very roomy and comfortable. They sat us all the way in the back room, so we felt pretty private. I think you can book the room as a party room.
