Dim sum King Fort Myers

We visited Dim Sum King recently and left pretty underwhelmed overall. We were seated after a short wait, which was fine, but service quickly went downhill. It took a while just to get waters, and when our first dim sum dish arrived, it came with no plates, no chopsticks, and no silverware — even though the server could clearly see that. No one checked back, and most of the staff seemed to disappear into the kitchen, so I ended up grabbing utensils myself. When the second item came, I had to stop the server before he rushed off just to get plates. Food quality was very inconsistent. The shrimp balls were excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the tripe with ginger tasted like it had been frozen and thawed — bland with an unpleasant texture. The sticky rice lacked flavor, and the General Tso’s chicken tasted extremely generic with almost no spice or character. Overall, it felt like very little value for the price. One more thing that didn’t sit well: there’s a 3% upcharge for using a credit card. Personally, I think it would come across better to advertise a cash discount instead. Between the lack of attentive service and mostly underwhelming dishes, this visit didn’t live up to expectations.

Delicious dim sum served not only for lunch. Lacks, however, the ambience and vibe of dim sum carts. Also, why are the Chinese greens in oyster sauce over $12? Neither the greens nor the sauce is expensive to buy. Everything else is reasonably priced.

On Christmas Day we had our dinner after travelling in the US after Disney for a week. It was so comforting to have better quality dimsum than in Europe and bigger portions than in Asia. Very reasonably priced to top it up. Loved it. Come when they open if you want to avoid the crowd.
