Mongkok Dim Sum

Got 4 orders of dim sum for $18.60. One order each of stuffed taro, fried meat balls, shrimp bonnets and pork dumplings. They charge $ for the plastic containers so made sure they gave me two. The food was delicious though. All the food could have been warmer and the taro crispier.

Love this place for cheap and good quality dimsum!! They are cash only! But many atms nearby. I got the steamed rice rolls, bbq pork bun, shu mai, lotus leaf sticky rice and taro cake. Everything is so delicious and the ladies are so welcoming and sweet. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving dim sum. We got everything for $21.

Ha, the memories. Used to drool looking at those hot, steamed piping hot hargows and exotic looking dumplings being shifted out to be displayed thru the windows. And then once you tasted it you knew why there was no Cantonese grandmas loitering around nowhere. Regardless am very glad they are still around. Good times...

Underbaked preboxed egg tarts. Disgusting to look at. Cold and unappetizing. They just filled premade crust with egg filling.

A mixed bag. They've got the dim sum basics covered. Har gow, siu mai, bbq buns, etc. They're hit and misses tho.The dumplings aren't bad. The items with steamed dough, like the steamed BBQ pork buns are pretty dry, and the filling is minimal. I'd stick with the dumplings, like the shark fin dumplings. Obviously, they aren't actually filled with shark fin, but with vermicelli noodles instead, but I think they're pretty good. Har gow skins are on the thicker side.Setting is pretty much like your typical Chinatown-like dim sum take out spot.I noticed that another reviewer mentioned that there was some shenanigans going on with what they charge, or rather the change they give back. I also experienced something similar. Looks like they're playing kind of loose with their pricing. So stay alert and be insistent.

I'm a bit confused about the low ratings of Mongkok Dim Sum. There are a few Dim Sum takeout spots on this street, and while this place does not seem to have the lines of the other ones, the food here was still really good. We tried a bunch of different dim sum favorites, and everything was really good. Because the line was short, we were in and out very quickly, and prices were really inexpensive. All in all, this was a fun place to look around and try some different takeout dim sum options!

For no-frills, cash-only, wait in line, early morning dim-sum pick up, Mongkok is good value for money. I ordered 2 beef siomai, 2 pork siomai, 3 hakaw or shrimp dumplings, 1 shrimp rice roll (all with 3 pcs each), 4 mini pork buns, and a container of 8 almond cookies for $32. Menu prices are posted on the board and the fun in ordering here is seeing the goods on display and pointing to what you like. The pork buns are warm and soft, with more bread than filling, but the dumplings are big and tasty.The almond cookies are the chewy kind not the crunchy kind, which I liked. Reminds me of Hong Kong style counter dim sum places, where you are paying for the food and no ambiance. Additional drama came when a customer used their employee-only restroom without permission and my order taker pounded on the door, demanding him to come out. Breakfast and a show! With such a busy area, parking on weekends can be a hassle though.

We used to like this takeout joint for dim sum but over the years, the food has gone downhill. Unfortunately, Hubby is still stuck on the memories of years past when the dim sum was much better. He spent a bit of change coming home with dim sum that I found not edible. The fried taro balls were soggy and flavorless. The siu mai was the only item that tasted fresh. The fun gor, triangle shaped had stuffing in it that tasted sour, as in near spoiling and I threw it out after one . The har gow had flavor but the outer dough was too thick and chewy. His main purpose was to buy Chinese donuts and the usual dim sum place we go to was closed so he got them here. I've never liked the donuts here but today, it tasted OK or at least better than before. Hubby finally agreed with me that he shouldn't go back for dim sum here anymore and that's very sad because the food used to be better.

Best dim sum in town. Yummy and very reasonably priced. Parking can be hit or miss, but it's worth it.
