What are you supposed to do - bring your own? For the same or lesser price, you can easily go to another Chinese bakery up the street, sit in a nicer place and receive more pleasant customer service. I also noticed they charge you extra for the container boxes. Never coming back.And lastly, the egg tarts were mediocre. You really don't treat anyone, regardless of age, like that anywhere. And even after she bought 15 more, the rude girls working behind the counter continued to go on about how she should never call twice again. My grandmother even offered to buy 15 more to help share the burden of the extra egg tarts. I really can't stand a place that will not admit fault to not taking an order correctly, anyone could have clearly seen it was written twice. I wish my Chinese was better so I could have said something back to her.Horrible customer service. Not only were they extremely upset, the owner/baker came out and publicly yelled in Chinese about how you should never call twice to check on an order and she now inconveniently has 30 extra egg custard tarts. Apparently, they messed this up and had her order twice. She called back to change the pick up time for half an hour earlier. My grandmother ordered 30 egg custard tarts for our family party. I have never left a store so angry and so shocked at the level of customer service. More important, the meat filling is very clean and prepared nicely (usually it looks so gross and tastes oily in most places here).Not the best dim sum (it's very hard to be considering the price and mass production), but very good price and clean. Very clean, organized and even provide a small sitting area for you to seat down and enjoy the food!Here is what i got:4 sesame seed sweet rolls (wow.so rare find given the time and skill of making it and very short shelf life, tastes the BEST, highly recommend!)1 lo mai gai (passed)1 lo mai bao (bland, but glad not oily)1 baked char siu bao (good, will order again)1 steamed char siu bao (ok)1 ma lai gao (good flavor, only problem is middle section of the cake didn't rise enough, the top is the BEST, will order again but eat the top only, why not? only $.60 or $1 each)2 har gow (bland, don't care)2 siu mai (ok, don't care)1 steamed rice with chicken feet and pork (passed, good mini portion and not oily)Total: $12.7 including tax and extra charge for the boxes.Overall most food taste bland but this is way better than oily and/or salty. So far this one is the BEST: price is good, you can mix and match any dim sum in whatever quantity you want. I wish they will open a store like this on the Eastside although i know it is very difficult!The is the 3rd dim sum take out place I have been to. Their smaller items like their Hak Gao or Siu Mai is just mediocre so I would just wait until going to a better sit down restaurant like Honey Court or House of Hong to get those. Everything is priced the same so it's worth more getting a bun or something. You get way more food than you would if you got a small scone at Starbucks for the same price.Tip: Get the bigger items that they have. But if you're looking for some grub before catching a bus or a train, this is perfect.
The ambiance is not the best so I wouldn't actually eat there. I really consider Dim Sum King to be a take-out dim sum place. but that's what I call it) and their Ham Sui Gok. I never get a warm friendly vibe when I enter the place.Also, they charge for take-out boxes which makes me really mad because I'm cheap.Nevertheless, I keep coming back because of their Big Bao (I have no idea if that's what it's called. It looks from other reviews that the people here aren't the friendliest. I'm just going to start with the things I don't like about Dim Sum King.
