So tasty! Food was great, but being our first time here it was a bit awkward as we weren't sure how to place our order, and my potstickers took quite a bit to come out, that we decided to leave. However, the cashier did go back to the kitchen and found they just forgot to bring them out and boxed them up for me due to the mistake. A little pricier than I expected, but the food tasted great and it was a much needed change of food compared to other restaurants in the area

All the dim sum was delicious! We recommend the tempura shrimp rice roll, har gao, and the sui mai. Service was great too! Can’t wait to go back.

Hot pot starts at 4 PM when din sum ends. It is the only hot pot I have found in Vermont! It was delicious. The lovely lady that works there gave us some pork shumai on the house even though it was after they stopped serving! It was so nice of her.Their broth is made in house with lots of love. The chef came over to our table a few times to chit chat about it. My husband and I absolutely love hot pot, so this was very appreciated!Everyone was so kind. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Note: they don't allow young children at hot pot due since it could be dangerous.We had the wagu and the ribeye. The servings of meat where incredibly generous. Neither of us could finish all of the veggies that came with it. They packed up everything including the broth to take home!I can't say enough good things. I will definitely be back with friends! (We drove an hr and a half just to eat here, and no regrets!)

Wow!! I live in Burlington and had heard great things. It was even better than expected. Amazing spicy hot pot, great portion sizes, customizable sauce bar, and you can take home the broth you don’t use. The staff and owners are so kind too. We had the salmon and fatty beef. Comes with noodles and veg. Highly recommend.

Delicious hot pot! Wonderful selection of meats, vegetables and appetizers. Warm, friendly and helpful service- the owner walked people new to hot pot through cooking and enjoying. Cannot wait to come back for handmade dim sum!

This is my new favorite restaurant. This restaurant is more than just good food, it's a wonderful experience. The whole staff was helpful and kind. We've never had hot pot before, and it did not disappoint. Even my picky eater daughter agreed, the food was delicious.

Dining at Dim Sum is a sensory adventure meal. While the snack plate offerings are the crowd-pleaser, the highlight of our visit was the interactive "hot pot" experience. Crafting our own savory soup was a delight for the senses, and Chef Sam's warm hospitality and expert guidance made us feel right at home. This is one stop in Burlington that you cannot miss!
