Service was great. My gf speaks Chinese so that was a bonus with the staff. We got the braised pork belly, pickled cabbage and fish soup, and dan dan noodles. Everything was good and flavorful. HOwEVER, it was sooooo salty. We felt it hours later. Less salt by 20% and it'd be perfect.

Our favorite dim sum in Cincinnati. Reasonably priced ($5-$7/plate) with generous portions. Everything tastes fresh, and it felt like many of the dumplings were homemade. All of the dim sum staples are here and they scratch the itch for dim sum in Cincinnati. Have we had better coming from east coast cities? Certainly. But, we think you'll be hard pressed to find better dim sum in the greater Cincinnati area outside of Great Tang.Standouts from the dim sum menu were the pan seared pork and chive dumplings and the turnip cakes both of which had excellent textures and spot on flavors. Also great are the shrimp and chive dumplings, which are made in a more delicate rice wrapper that really highlights the flavor of the chive (not pictured). The short ribs were tender and served in a sweet honey sauce that was unusual but very welcome. The shrimp rice noodle roll, stuffed tofu skins, soup dumplings, tripe with ginger, and sticky rice in lotus leaf were all solid. Nothing remarkable, but I would get any and all of them again if I were craving them. Service was reasonably timely; our orders were taken quickly and we quickly got our tea followed by a steady stream of food despite them, but don't expect Michelin star waitstaff at a busy dim sum restaurant.I enjoyed the Shanghai pan fried pork bun, but my wife, who grew up in Shanghai, wished the bun was softer and the skin was crunchier. The only major let down was the fried dough, a dim sum staple, which was over fried, very oily, and lacked a tender interior (not pictured).This has become our go to spot for dim sum Cincinnati and we will continue to come back.

If you're looking for fine Chinese dining. Great Tang should be on your list. The food is excellent, very tasty.Today I had the Shrimp in Garlic sauce. The authentic flavors and large shrimp made this a delightful lunch. The service is friendly and quick. They have large tables with lazy Susan's in the middle. So if you have a large family meal sharing is easy. I like the authentic food and the extensive menu with items you can't find it most Chinese restaurants. The place is nicely decorated with Chinese la

We ate here on Christmas afternoon. Was seated immediately. We started with lettuce wraps and egg rolls. I had a large hot and sour soup. Wife had the sweet and sour chicken and I had Szechuan chicken. The latter had no real heat but I added some of the hot chili oil at the table. Wow--the entrees here are massive--about 50% more than most places. Had plenty left to take home. Service was friendly and efficient. Lots of bang for the buck here and we will be returning often.

I'm not from the area but I'm used to Dimsum places, If you just wanted a fix this is not a bad place, just the basic dimsum choices bit, I wouldn't say it's Americanized but not bad either and nothing to rave about !!! But service is to improve speciallybthe hostess who approached us and ask how many in our party ? Said 6 but never came back or tried to seat us and was just talking to the boy in the counter and did ring up a few customers..... poor service

Wish I could leave ZERO stars. I ordered Chinese food and a beer. A little "Asia/oriental" fella came out from the back and started being a jerk to people trying to enter the restaurant after 8pm. I considered myself lucky that I made it in on time to put in a to go order. I get home and I find "Chimexican", why would I want flour tortillas with my Chinese food? Where is my rice? Ruined my dinner. So glad I worked late to have my dinner ruined! Thanks!!! Never going back and 100% would NOT recommend

I went on a Friday (day after Thanksgiving) during lunchtime. While there was a good crowd, the aforementioned huge crowd and service issues were not there. I enjoyed a leisurely lunch with great service. We enjoyed some excellent intestines with jalapeños, mapo tofu, homemade dumplings 三鲜水饺 and squid on hot plate 铁板鱿鱼。my favorites were the dumplings and intestines. Those dumplings were definitely made after they were ordered 现做的 since we were warned that they take 20 minutes. The wait was so worth it! The skins were chewy but thin. They were also huge and filled to the brim w shrimp, chives, and pork. Freshly made dumplings are so hard to come by! I would come back just for these!Those intestines were also the best I've had: no stink, chewy, thick and full of quantity. I would come back just for these, too. Great Tang is a 江南 restaurant w Sichuan dishes added to the menu. I like that their flavors are less salty and less oily like other Sichuan places can be. I look forward to coming back! One note, we weren't offered the dimsum menu at this visit. I'm not sure when it is offered.

Every year, I try to find a new Asian restaurant on Christmas Eve (or Christmas Day) to break up the monotony of traditional holiday foods. And maybe in the "Christmas Story" spirit as well.Found this restaurant and VERY happy I did. Amazing food, fantastic customer service, and just a wonderful place to have dinner. I highly recommend trying this place. Will definitely come back here!

Traveling the country in search of dim sum restaurants I found myself on an unexpected road trip after a flight cancellation, but used the opportunity to try new dim sum places. Driving through Cincinnati I came across this restaurant after searching for all day dim sum availability. Luckily they had most of the menu available only not having a few of the baked items. The har gow and siu mai were flavorful and fresh. The beef balls were some of the best I have had on my dim sum travels. Definitely a place I would stop by again if traveling through this area.
