I am a big fan of yum cha and having eaten it in many countries around the world, been on the lookout for it in Germany for the last four years. Munich has one or two places that serve some but pretty ordinary and so, I was excited to discover this one.
The menu here is mostly yum cha or, dim sum as some would call it. They make everything in house and it comes out steaming from the kitchen. They have most of the classic dishes and a couple of creations i have not seen before. They don't have carts going around like the big places in HK but, they do have the same paper menu cards where you can mark what you want.
They refill your tea here for no extra charge, a practice similar to most classic yum cha places. We ordered a few dishes to share and they have a small choice of vegetarian items as well. Most of the dishes tasted good and whilst not exactly like they do in HK but good. The BBQ pork was great, prawn dumplings good and the mushroom dumplings were really good.
Service is very quick and friendly and the place was packed by the time we left. The majority of diners were Asian, a positive sign. Prices are a bit high but I would happily pay for the quality. Definitely a place I would come back to for Sunday yum cha :-)
It's a place hidden away in the back of a shopping plaza behind the Westin hotel. No signs on the street telling you where this is. A lovely find in town :-))Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Didi D.San Diego, United States045 Dec 2021
Total dive place, almost thought maybe they closed down because you have to walk through a mall hallway to get to it, but it was well-worth the persistence. Food was legit, especially for this Asian-American expat girl looking for some comfort food.

Pleasantly surprised to find good dim sum in Frankfurt!
I enjoyed all of the dishes, super fresh and hot, and not super greasy as other places can be.
Their tendon dish was amazing, I liked their pork buns, and boyfriend really enjoyed their duck noodle soup.
Go early as the tables get filled quickly. On Saturday we got there around 12 and by 12:30 there were no empty tables.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Barry E.Goodyear, United States18513 July 2019
If you're craving Dim Sum, this is the place. It's small and not fancy, and appears clean.
Easy to select choices via pictures and descriptions in English.
The wait staff speaks little or no English, so you fill out your order on paper writing the amount of each dish. This is typical in most day dim sum restaurants that don't use carts.
Each dim sum was excellent and a larger size than most similar restaurants I have eaten. The restaurant is around the corner just a few minutes from the Westin Frankfurt.
Remember to bring cash.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 17 Jan 2015
Tucked away from Zeil street, this place may go unnoticed. I bookmrked this place and always forgot about it because its in some creepy side street.
Sorry!! forgive the fact that my picture is of food half eaten! I was exhausted after a long day and I just decided to eat in (minus the fact that there was a long wait and a small dining space) .
Still jet lagged and starved I completely did not realize until I was 5 bites in - that the ShoMai was HUMONGOUS... and they were very good too. The shrimp dumplings, same deal... HUGE.
Definitely on my come back list.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sophia V.Hanau, Germany5014880215 July 2016
Maybe for People that See used to eat asian food for Europeans this will be disappointing but I love it.
The food was very tasty and original and we try a lot of different plates because we are with friends from Asia here and I remembered that my 4 weeks in Hong Kong a long long time ago are full off mixed dishes to share on the table. That is the way to eat there ' you order a lot of food put all in the middle from the table and eat together ' lovely
I will come back but then with a big hole on my stomach :-) to try more.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Matthew B.Honolulu, United States121916 Aug 2018
Favorite Dim Sum in Germany is found here (compared to Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart). Great selection, great service, outside dining, recommend reservations on the weekend.

Delicious, freshly prepared Dim Sum. Many options with and w/o meat items. Service was friendly. You may have to wait a bit for them to bring the food as they prep them once you order. Wait is really worth it. Went with a Chinese Foodie who has eaten at many Dim Sum places in Asia and around the world. She loves it. Really love the (dry) fried wide rice noodles. Also rec the (unfried) sesame balls as they are a light, not oily dessert option.

Pretty good dim sum with other dishes like fried rice, stir fried noodles, noodles soup, hot pot and congee. Friendly staff and cozy place. Quite reasonable prices and not too far from the main street although it's a bit hidden.

I was excited to come here after doing extensive research by reading yelp peers review, believing I would get some good dim sum. Not Asia good, but comparable to chinese dim sum in the Netherlands.
Super disappointed... Ordered 6 dishes of dim sum, and it was very mediocre. Some streamed dishes and fried dishes. The glutinous sticky rice had no shrimp, chinese sausages, than just sticky rice and tons of peanuts!!! Hahaha, I always order the glutinous sticky rice, never did I had peanuts in there.... Ok fine if you want to put peanuts in but the amount of it was more then the sticky rice. All the dishes tasted meh, edible but not tasty. I would say the chef cant be bothered to think about how it taste I guess.
Errrr and let me not comment about their services, in some ways its funny but highly unprofessional. Openly bitching about your customers ignoring the possibility that they may speak Chinese too is hilarious. Loud and clear they are complaining and bitching about anything and everything, from customers who are having their meal to their private lives... Somehow amusing I guess....Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
