    Awesome spot for dim sum. Just as good as the location in Philly. Super fast service, super cheap, and always leave stuffed. Great place to go with a group of friends for a good lunch and walk around town.

    The brisket noodle soup was AMAZING. The soup dumplings were really good too. I'm very much looking forward to going back!

    I’m originally from Shanghai, so I know what good dim sums are. Overall, Tom’s Dim Sum is pretty solid and authentic. Their soup dumplings are among the best I’ve ever had in the US. Shanghai Wonton Soup is okay, better than those places but not as good as homemade ones. Stir-fried rice cake dishes have very authentic flavor. My only reservation is about the appetizer: Fried pork chop. It’s too dry and should have been served with Shanghai Spicy Soy Sauce instead of shrimp sauce.

    This was our first time at Tom's Dim Sum, but it won't be our last. We tried a variety of dumplings and appetizers, and everything was delicious. I recommend trying spicy pan-fried dumplings, beef pancakes, and sesame balls for something new. The waiter was attentive, friendly, and helpful. The food was served quickly. Each item came out as it was ready, which was perfect for us since we were sharing everything. It ensured it was all hot. I am not sure if items would be served the same way had we ordered individual meals. We would definitely recommend Tom's Dim Sum.

    BYOB. BYOB. BYOB. I’m going to start by saying that three times because at no point on the website did it say that and until we walked into the restaurant and saw it on the front sign did we know. Very frustrating and when we asked the staff for the closest wine store, they told us to “put it in Google”… That wasn’t even the worst part. After seeing my confirmation email about our reservation, we showed up 5 minutes before. The restaurant was PACKED with several new tables recently sat. We had a party of three so two two-top tables were sat even though they came after us. FORTY minutes after showing up, we were FINALLY seated. So much for making a reservation when it didn’t matter. We sit down and they hand us three glasses, one of which was totally cracked. It took 10 minutes to get a new one. When we finally ordered we asked if they could add one additional soup dumpling so we had an even amount across our table and the waiter goes “no, we don’t do that.” Um, I mean ok. You CAN. But ok then. Enough of the unkind people semantics - the food. Chicken soup dumplings (5)- there was definitely enough for a sixth (just saying). Not a ton of soup inside and kind of cold. Had better elsewhere. Shrimp shumai (4) - large, filling. Solid dish. Fried vegetable dumplings (5) - full of vegetables but not a ton of flavor. Duck over rice (small portion) - sadly not a lot of meat. More fat and bone on the plate. Seafood fried rice - not really much of a fry to it or sauce on top. Decent amount of shrimp and scallop. Wonton soup - sizable wontons, flavorful Pork and chive dumpling noodle soup - udon noodles with five large pork and chive dumplings. Few pieces of bok choy, but not much else to it. Sautéed baby bok choy- massive plate sautéed in garlic. Pretty solid. Totally share this with your table. Food was fine, but the service and impoliteness was REALLY not cool. Won’t be back.

    Oh my, I stuffed my tummy on two orders of bee pancakes. Delicious! The beef soup were delicious too.

    Interesting to me, the two Dim Sum shops right next to each other. Where I grew up there are none! This is the first time I've had takeout from either place in Media, and this one didn't disappoint. I've had take out from Tom's Dim Sum in Philly, and I wanted to see if this location did it just as well. I ordered a wide variety of soup dumplings, three different hot appetizers, and two main dishes for takeout. First, all of it was packaged up very well. Everything stayed very hot with no messes on my trip home. My only concern was that the main dishes weren't labeled.. both were the same but one was spicy and the other wasn't.

    Food always hits the spot and service is great! For sure would recommend the dim sum and loved the noodle and chicken dishes too.

    I have been wanting to come here for a long time. Last time I was in media I made the mistake and went to the wrong restaurant and was let down massively. But this restaurant was very welcoming. The staff was amazing and super kind. Very considerate of our needs. My glass was never empty. The portions were great for the food also. The prices also were very low. I went at lunch and two of us were able to eat for under 22 dollars. Thank you again for the great experience. I will be recommending this dim sum and not the other.......
