Supposedly, there is an unspoken feud between the two dim sum spots in Media, or so the local lore says...However, after coming to Dim Sum Mania several times, I still cannot get enough. It is a great place for lunch or dinner, with a menu extensive enough to try something different each time, or simply find your favorites and enjoy them over and and over. This is actually one of the few places I return to and order the same thing frequently, which for me, only speaks to the quality of what they do here. For me that is Shredded Pork Noodle Soup with Pickled Cabbage, a continual favorite that I cannot find anywhere but very specific places in Philly in Chinatown. It is perfectly served with hand drawn noodles and perfectly sour and sweet pickled cabbage. Just absolutely delicious. But the real secret about Dim Sum Mania is the perfect soup dumplings they have on offer, as well as the staff who is friendly and always encouraging people to take a step, even if just a small one, out of their comfort zone; even constructing dishes that are a fusion of what local palates may find more usual with traditional Szechuan flavors. The last time I was here, this exact thing happened to me when I was offered a new menu item that was velveted pork, onion, delicious red chilis, and other spices formed into perfectly pan fried meatballs in a savory umami-filled brown sauce. Adding to the uniqueness of the experience is a massive LED screen that has pan-Asian cooking programs on rotation, showcasing interesting preparation techniques and styles, and ingredients that many patrons may have never seen or enjoyed before. All this takes place right on State Street in downtown Media in a bright space with cantilevered doors that can be opened when it's nice outside and adds to the charm of not only the restaurant, but also much of the reason people love Media so much. Not only should you come here, but bring friends or family as it's a nice raucous spot for great conversation and for sharing tons of great food. You'll be sorry if you pass it by when you walk by and see all the satisfied smiles inside.

A place I take my family, friends, and dates to, and a place people will drive to from the city. A favorite for anyone who likes dim sum in the area. My waitress last Saturday afternoon sold me on their non-menu special(a) of lion's head and a vegetable dish I think is cardone but not sure. The vegetables were super fresh and lots of oil used for helping the flavor come out. Maybe too much oil but so good. The usual shrimp roll order and soup dumplings I had as well. Before eating, we already knew we'd have to take food home.

Definitely the superior dim sum on the street. Authentic Shanghainese dim sum. Flavors are deep and umami. Good quantity. Service is fast. Facility is updated and new, and in classic Asian restaurant form, has a massive screen playing Chinese videos. Not as good as dim sum in China, but really good for Pennsylvania. Hits the spot.

So excited to have an alternate spot for dim sum in the burbs. You can make reservations too. We were greeted and seated right away. Water was served and our waiter came quickly to order our food on a tablet. Parking is in the street - so you may have to walk a bit as this area is busy with restaurants and Trader Joe's The restaurant is very open with a accordion window doors that brings a nice breeze and sunlight .Dim sum menu is not that extensive live Chinatown places but has the fave dishes . I ordered shrimp dumplings, bbq pork steamed buns, and pork shu mai. We also ordered beef chow fun and chicken fried rice. All delicious. Service was very attentive checking on us and bringing water refills. I will be back soon to try the duck! Love this place!

Got pickup for dinner and it was really good and fresh and the service was great as well- super helpful and friendly! I had the veggie homemade noodles and there were pretty big well seasoned pieces of fresh veggies mixed in- she gave me some homemade chili hot sauce and it elevated the flavor. My bf got the pork soup dumplings and was raving about them as well as the fried rice and egg rolls. It was nice and clean inside so while I did pickup I would sit down if I was in the area again and had time!

I've been going to this place since the year they opened and used to think it was amazing, but the last couple of times I've been, I have noticed a significant decline in the food. Last night put the final stamp on it though--the steamed chicken dumplings were rubbery from being overcooked, the chicken on a stick was over seasoned with something (maybe star anise?) which gave it a black licorice flavor, and the main dish portions have gotten smaller. Although they do still have very good pork sticky buns and the flavor of their general tsos chicken is quite tasty.The two main issues we had with the place last night were the tea and the service. After pouring a cup of tea and taking a sip, I thought the taste was off with a pool water taste and odor of chlorine bleach, so I opened the pot to find lots of bubbles and a stronger odor. I flagged a server and told him about it, he tried it (which I wouldn't have advised) claimed it was fine and gave us a new pot which had even more bubbles in it and still smelled of chlorine bleach. Obviously we didn't drink it. The photo is after the second tea pot had been sitting at the table for the entire dinner, so about 30-45 minutes after settling and still bubbles. Maybe some soap was left in the pot but hopefully not in the urn. Either way, the only bubbles I want in tea are boba. The other unfortunate event was near the end of our meal when one of the servers proceeded to berate the table behind us for what sounded like a mix up with their order--Yelling at them and claiming they ordered something which they didn't seem sure they ordered. I've never been at a restaurant and witnessed this level of hostility happen so it was quite shocking. Hopefully it was just an off night for them as it was very busy, but these two things should be looked into.

I've dined here a few times and every time I try something else from the menu. I always get those signature dumplings with the broth inside. They are amazingly good. So far everything I tried was excellent. Service was fast considering how busy they were. I watched on the big screen how some foods are prepared. Really giant screen showing an Asian food network. They have a front wall that slides open for when the weather is nice outside. I've added this place to my list of favorites. I don't know who gave this place anything lower than 5 stars. Their chef is awesome.

Dim Sum Mania has become our go to takeout spot since we moved into the area. We have even dined in the restaurant and had a great experience with the service. Our favorites to order are the chicken with broccoli, beef stir fry noodle & chicken pan fried dumplings.

Got an order of the pork soup dumplings and although I didn't have the first clue how to eat them neatly, I inhaled them all in 5 minutes
