Excellent food And service. A little pricy but worth it. Wide selection and large regular menu as well

Called for hours, very friendly and locked in a quick reservation to ensure no conflicts or wait. Upon arrival warmly greeted and immediately seated. Extremely clear and great upbeat music in the background. Food came out quickly and was very delicious. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our meal. This is as close or better than the dim sum in Chinatown. The items (shumai/sticky rice) were authentic and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant! Definitely we will return when in the area.

Crystal Shrimp dumplings are good. But some other dumplings are like pre-made, actually not worth the price. Food is served slowly…
I was excited to try this new place when it popped up. The owners are very nice and the setting is quite cosy. I had a high expectation going in however was disappointed with the food. All dishes we ordered were bland including some of their signature dishes. The portions were also small compared to the prices. I would only come back again if the taste is improved.

Awesome new dim sum (Shanghai style) place! Food is great and service excellent. I am so happy to have more Asian food choices in this area. Chicken on a stick, turnip cake, pan fried dumplings, beef brisket stew and Singaporean fried noodle…all top notch.
Excellent food, dim sum was tastefully prepared and fresh, highly recommend, and service was spot on.

Wonderful! Was very excited to hear about the new location. Best Dim Sum in this area (Main Line). Everything is fresh and delicious. Family-friendly ambiance. Please support this place and dine here so they can continue to serve this area in the years to come. I suggest adding Chicken Feet to the menu for the old school dim sum goers like myself. Right now I can only get it at one other dim sum place nearby. Add this dish and I will come here 100% of the time

First time here so we samples a bunch of dishes. The xiao long bao is really good; the vinegar and dumplings go perfectly. Their cumin noodles are unlike anything I've had before and they are amazing - highly recommended (if you like cumin obvs). Wish they were closer!

3.5 Underwhelmed. Excited to see a Dim Sum place here. Inside smallish. Ordered takeout thru website. 1$ convenience fee. Defaulted tip. Have to click and change if you don't believe in leaving anything for pickup or if you just want to leave 1 or 2 bucks. "Orange flavor" beef basically sugar and ketchup. Beef slices thin but not crispy, with a slightly mealy texture to the corn starch coating. Not really any orange flavor. Only orange the few small rinds you find. Very few red chilis also, if you like that. Kind of saccharine, which could be ok if that is how you like this. Not much flavor complexity. Personally, not a fan of ketchup in Americanized Chinese cuisine. I ate it but a friend just spit it out, saying 'too much tomato.' I agree. Prefer my umami some other way. Maybe just plain old MSG please? Small pieces of broccoli maybe not the freshest. Not a fan of take-outs which economize by using ingredients beyond their prime. Eggplant ok, but have had much more flavorful garlic eggplant elsewhere. In short, not as good as the namesake in Media. Nor as good as Ping Pong, close by at Gateway. Also, kind of expensive. Orange beef in itself expensive at $17.95 and certainly not worth it for this level of quality. Did not really try the Dim Sum offerings. Did try the pork and chive dumplings, which were just ok. They were ordered fried but they were probably mostly steamed and/or microwaved. There is a slight upcharge for fried versus steamed, believe it or not ! If you order through the website, make sure you also click on white rice (for no added charge) for any main dishes you order. You do not get it by default. I know this place is not gourmet, but I am a little underwhelmed by the cooking/preparation technique on display here. Located right near Bad Hair Day in the same general area as McDonald's. Might give it one more try.

I had an exceptional dining experience at Dim sum Mania and am thrilled to give it a 5-star rating! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting with its unique décor and warm lighting. The menu had a great variety of options. I love their hand made steamed creamy buns and crystal mixed mushroom dumplings. Their noodle is totally different than all Chinese restaurants that I have been to. You must try it! The quality of the food made it entirely worth it. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!”
