Frequently Asked Questions
What is dim sum?
Dim sum is a Cantonese dining tradition centered on small, shareable dishes such as steamed dumplings, buns, rice noodle rolls, pastries and fried snacks. Diners commonly order several dishes for the table so everyone can sample different flavors and textures.
What should first-time diners order at a dim sum restaurant?
A good first order includes a mixture of steamed, baked and fried dishes. Shrimp har gow, pork siu mai, BBQ pork buns, egg custard tarts and a rice noodle roll provide an approachable introduction to different dim sum styles.
Is dim sum usually eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner?
Dim sum is traditionally associated with breakfast, brunch and lunch, often served with tea. Many Las Vegas restaurants now offer dim sum throughout the day, so customers should check the restaurant’s current menu and serving hours before visiting.
How many dim sum dishes should a group order?
A practical starting point is two to three dishes per person, with more added if the group wants to sample a wider selection. Because most dishes are served in small portions, visiting with several people makes it easier to try dumplings, buns, vegetables and desserts in one meal.

Many dim sum menus include vegetarian choices such as vegetable dumplings, spring rolls, mushroom buns, tofu dishes and steamed greens. Ingredients can vary, and some wrappers or sauces may contain animal products, so diners with dietary restrictions should confirm ingredients directly with the restaurant.
