Good spot to try some dim sum. It's very popular. It was good dim sum but maybe not worth all the hype. Still delicious.

Saw it was on the Michelin bib gourmand list. Ordered the 10 piece platter which was like a sampler plate. Ingredients were fresh and skin was delicate but broke apart too easily. Overall, while some of the items were not typical chinese dim sum items, everything passed the taste test

Response from the owner

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Dylon. We’re glad you enjoyed the freshness and flavors of the sampler. We appreciate your note on the dumpling skins and will share it with our kitchen team as we continue to refine our dishes. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again.

The food was amazing, I loved it so much. The service was pretty bad, but the food completely made up for it.

Came here for dim sum during lunch. Ordered the meat and seafood dim sum platter and pork pan fried dumplings. Everything was delicious. That green sauce is addictive. I requested for a single beef dumpling in platter to be substituted with anything else to which they refused. This is such a simple ask but was not accomodated. I just asked them to remove it which they did. Michelin guide yeah, but don't hold your breath for service as it was pretty blunt.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your feedback, Mahima. We’re glad you enjoyed the flavors and the dishes overall. We apologize for the issue with your substitution request and for any perception of blunt service. Your comments are noted as we continue to improve the guest experience.

Dim Sum Go Go is a fantastic find, especially considering its reputation as a budget-friendly Michelin-recommended spot. The food quality is exceptional and absolutely lives up to the hype.<br>The standout of the meal was the seafood and meat platter - the colors and shapes were stunning, but the taste was even better. Anything involving the shrimp was simply incredible. We also tried the duck spring rolls, pork soup dumplings, and the Malaysian buns for dessert, all of which were great.<br>A few crucial tips for your visit:<br>Book ahead: The restaurant is very busy, and seating is quite limited inside.<br>Consider Delivery: Because the dining area is small, they seem to prioritize deliveries, so that’s a solid option if you can't get a table.<br>Must-Order: If you go, the platter is a must - it's a showstopper both visually and in flavor.<br>Overall, this is a top-tier recommendation for anyone looking for high-quality dim sum that won't break the bank.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your detailed review, Jacob. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the seafood and meat platter as well as the other dishes. We appreciate your tips for future guests and are glad our dim sum made a strong impression. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Very touristy - we didn’t see any locals during our weekday lunch - but the food was surprisingly good and authentic.<br><br>My top recommendations for food:<br>- Shrimp rice rolls (honestly, any of the rice rolls are a safe bet)<br>- Beef tripe with black pepper sauce<br>- Chicken feet with black bean sauce (they were especially tender)<br>- Bean curd skin with pork<br><br>Classic:<br>- Turnip cake<br><br>One-and-done (worth trying once, but wouldn’t reorder):<br>- Crispy tofu stuffed with shrimp (even the table next to us left it unfinished)<br><br>Knocking off a star because:<br>- Prices are relatively high compared to other dim sum spots<br>- Tea is served by default and charged, which feels like you're hit with a table fee<br><br>On the plus side, they accept cards, which is convenient if you don’t carry cash.

Response from the owner

Thank you for your feedback, Joyce. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and found it authentic. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for another meal.

Fast, helpful service and plenty of food for the price. Our table filled up quickly with steamer baskets, and it was easy to order for a mixed group. There was good variety of vegetarian and meat options.<br><br>The space is tight and gets busy, and I’m not sure how to explain it other than it felt it catered or drew in a more Americanized crowd. The food wasn’t bad by any means but nothing really stood out either. Not my first choice for dim sum, but a fine option if you’re already in the area.

Response from the owner

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, Zev. We’re glad you appreciated the fast service, generous portions, and the variety of vegetarian and meat options—we aim to make ordering easy for groups. We also understand your comments about the space and overall experience. As a small, busy spot, things can feel tight at peak times, and we recognize that dim sum preferences can vary widely. We appreciate your honest perspective and will keep it in mind as we continue working to improve.

Had a great experience here - delicious, fresh, and quick service. Didn't have cash on me to hit up some of my usual dumpling spots and it was pouring outside so wanted somewhere to sit and unwind. We were seated right away on a busy Sunday and our food came out hot and quick. Great dumpling texture and flavor, delicious pork buns and loved the pumpkin cakes.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Nicole! We’re thrilled you enjoyed everything — from the dumplings and pork buns to the pumpkin cakes. We’re glad we could offer you a cozy spot to unwind and enjoy a hot meal on a rainy Sunday. Hope to see you again soon for more dim sum and comfort food!

We had a huge party of about 18 people and the staff took amazing care of us. We ordered a lot of food and it came out super fast. We pretty much ordered every item on the dimsum menu and loved everything. The surprising thing that I didn't think I would like was the tripe. It was tender and full of flavor. If you want something authentic at a reasonable price, this is the place to go.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much, Casey! 🌟 We’re thrilled your large party had a great experience and enjoyed trying so many dim sum dishes. We love hearing that the tripe was a pleasant surprise—it’s one of our favorites too! Your kind words about authenticity, service, and value mean a lot. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another delicious meal!

No nonsense place to get brilliant dim sum. We had just checked into our hotel and wanted quick food and dumplings were the perfect option.<br><br>This place was highly rated for dim sum and we can see why. Very authentic good price and lots of variety.<br><br>Food came out very quickly and we got stuck in straight away. Service was efficient, seemed al little annoyed when I asked for more dipping sauce. When we were asked if we wanted anything else I said I wasn’t sure they wanted an answer and basically gave us the bill straight away.<br><br>Really high quality food for anyone wanting authentic food. They take card payment too. Recommend pork and shrimp steamed dumplings and the duck steamed dumplings.

Response from the owner

Thanks, Jonners, for the thoughtful 4-star review!<br><br>We're glad to hear you enjoyed our dim sum and appreciated the quick service, authentic flavors, and variety—especially after a long journey. Great picks with the pork & shrimp and duck dumplings!<br><br>We’re sorry if the service came off as a bit rushed—definitely not our intention. We’ll take your feedback to heart and make sure every guest feels more welcome, even during our busiest moments.<br><br>Hope to have the chance to serve you again next time you’re in town—maybe we’ll earn that fifth star!

I visited this place after seeing a walking tour guide in Google. After a bit of a walk, we were hungry and in need of fried rice! Dimsum Go Go did not disappoint! Coming from Asia, the tastes were really authentic!<br><br>Love the dimsum were a bomb! We love it!

Response from the owner

Thank you, Hwl, for the wonderful 5-star review!<br><br>We’re so happy you found us through your walking tour and that we could satisfy your craving for authentic flavors—especially coming from Asia, that means a lot! Fried rice and dim sum always hit the spot after a good walk.<br><br>Hope to welcome you back again soon for more!

We came to visit Chinatown on a hot summer day, after a long walk in the sun, and we were looking for a proper sit-down restaurant with air conditioning and clean restrooms — somewhere comfortable to relax for a bit.<br><br>We saw this place had great reviews on Google Maps, so we decided to give it a try.<br><br>The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was air-conditioned and had clean restrooms, which was exactly what we needed.<br><br>It was also really nice to see that a couple was allowed in with their dog — a pet-friendly touch we appreciated.<br><br>The dim sum I loved most was the curry beef — it was my first time trying that flavor and it was wow.<br>We also had a beef and stir-fried vegetable dish that was amazing — the meat was tender and fresh, and the vegetables were crisp and flavorful.<br><br>Highly recommend stopping by! Even though it’s not right on the main Chinatown street, it’s definitely worth the short walk.

Response from the owner

hi מרים אשורוב,<br>Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled that we could offer you a cool, comfortable break from the summer heat — and even happier that you enjoyed the food! The curry beef dim sum is one of our favorites too, so we're glad it made a great first impression.<br><br>We appreciate you noticing the little things — clean restrooms, fast service, and our pet-friendly approach — and your kind words about the beef and veggie dish mean a lot.<br><br>Thanks again for making the walk over — we’re honored to be your Chinatown stop!

We tried a variety of dishes including the shrimp dumplings, pork siu mai, and veggie dumplings — each one delicately wrapped and perfectly steamed. The dim sum tasting platter is a great way to sample their best offerings, and the dipping sauces added the perfect kick. Whether you’re a longtime dim sum fan or trying it for the first time, this spot offers a satisfying, elevated take on the classic experience.<br><br>Highlights:<br>• Made-to-order dim sum (no carts) with fresh ingredients<br>• Elegant presentation with modern twist<br>• Dim sum tasting platter is a must-try<br>• Clean, comfortable dining space — great for groups<br>• Friendly service and fast turnaround
