Kim Sum - Pennsauken

Came here for dinner and food's pretty good! It came pretty fast and was suited to our tastes. Prices weren't bad and the portions were pretty good since we don't eat that much as a family.

Love this place. Service and dim sum is great. And the place is CLEAN!

Hmm, okay but not great. Came in on a Sunday morning around 10:30 AM for dimsum and there was no wait (IYKYK it's a rare unicorn that a dimsum restaurant has no wait , but maybe that was a red flag. Dimsum is arguably one of my favorite meals because of the variety of dishes to nibble on, but I feel that Kim Sum missed the mark on seasoning across the board and as a result the meal felt lackluster. Let me detail what I mean: Shumai had plump pieces of shrimp mixed into the pork (perfect mixture! but the soy sauce salt added was missing not something you can add after the fact Crispy BBQ Pork Buns had an amazingly crisp exterior but the topping is usually sweet and we felt that it was very not Turnip Cake had the MOST perfect sear but again where's the seasoning? Other items of note that detracted from our overall experience: 1 the tea teapot filter was terrible quality (there were several chrysanthemum pieces in my cup which was annoying when tea is integral to balancing out the meal, and 2 dishes came out incredibly slow we had to reorder the same dishes multiple times which I typically expect from a Chinese restaurant but this was definitely worse than usual. Kim Sum is closer to me than Philadelphia and Cherry Hill, but I think I may justify the additional travel time for better quality food everything was a miss for me.

We tried this place as we used to come here when it was under different owners. I was wanting great Dim Sun and didn't want to go to Philly. What a mistake. The staff was nice, the place was clean but empty aside from one table and had a slight sour smell. We sat down anyway to look over the big menu. The dumplings had a weird taste as well as the walnut shrimp and the garlic chicken. My daughter had the shrimp shumai and ended up in the bathroom throwing up before we even left. Something was not right. Should have went with my first instinct.

Only a few photos for the items I have tried. Pictured is a piglet custard bun, some kind of shumai and soup dumplings. Overall nice to have dim sum on this side of the bridge but I have definitely had better and also note that after a certain time you can only order certain dim sum items and they also cost more. If I was craving dim sum and didn't have time to travel I would grab some but honestly I think you are just better off going over the bridge to Philly. Custard bun was too much bun or custard ratio, custard wasn't bad though just wish there was more of it. Out of everything the shumai was probably the best item, good flavor and right texture. Soup dumplings were okay but soup could've been a little more flavorful.
