    Best dim sum outside China and even better than some inside! Soup dumplings are the best. Our family’s favorite place to eat in all Brussels.

    I travel to Brussels every month and Dam Sum is my favorite place for catching up with my friends. If you only have time for one restaurant while in town, this is it!

    Stylish decor, small dim sum menu but the xiao long bao may be the best I've had outside of Asia! BBQ buns were good too.

    Central location and a small but delicious variety of delicate dim sums that the chefs prepare right in front of you. The main dishes are not really special but do try the mango flan. Read more

    The dumplings with soup inside were amazing. The gong bao chicken was really great, as was the fried bun with ice cream.

    Dim sum is for sharing so grab a selection and enjoy with a friend. Great food and be patient with the staff, they mean well 😊

    Love this place but be careful, their iconic xiao long bao are not always on the menu. For example just now on Sunday evening. Better check :)

    Try the Xia Long Bao (soup dim sums) which taste incredibly good. You won't find them anywhere else in Europe

    Really good food and perfect for sharing. Don't be afraid to order lots of little portions for the table to enjoy together as they arrive

    Delicious. Nice concept. Home made dim sums. Downside is you need to eat a lot to get filles and it gets pricy.

    Quite attentive service that is good at explaining dim sum to the newbies. Delightful xiao long bao. Sit next to the chefs!

    The siu mai, har kau and char siu pao are really good, you can taste it's hand made... but the Xiao long bao the other dim sums and the dishes are underwhelming and greasy. Service is blah.

    The dumplings being prepared in the open kitchen gives a good impression. But the final experience is not so nice : Raviolis in wonton soup overcooked, broth with strange taste, no Chinese at all.

    Good quality of food, but once you sit it's faster than a fast food. Don't come here if you're looking for a quite dinner.

    Staff was very nice and the concept was fun too. Flavours are quite disappointing though, so really not worth it for the price. Doesn't compare to even the street dumplings in China.

    Dans un cadre très sympa, on comprend pourquoi les dim sum préparés à la minute, c'est autre chose. Le poulet aux cacahuètes est excellent. Et n'oubliez pas de tester les différents ice tea maison.

    DimSum, Jiaozi, Gyoza, nouilles en soupe ou chaomian... Dommage qu'on doit y manger si vite et que le lieu soit si bruyant les soirs d'affluence

    Les dimsum sont très bons, le pain brioché fourré de je ne sais plus quoi est très sympa, par contre les soupes sont un peu fadasses...
