About Tai Pan Dim Sum

Tai Pan Dim Sum offers a variety of basic dim sum options, opening early at 7 am to cater to early visitors. The restaurant is praised for its quality BBQ pork and duck dishes, though the dim sum itself is described as mediocre, with some doughy textures and greasy fried dumplings. Portions are considered small, and prices have increased, which some believe is due to inflation. However, the service is quick, and the restaurant now accepts credit cards, a positive change. Despite the common long lines, many still find Tai Pan a convenient option for a quick meal.

The restaurant's warm and friendly staff, who greet customers with welcoming smiles, have been noted for their attentive and genuine service, creating an enjoyable and relaxed dining experience. The food is described as flavorful, with the meat cooked perfectly and the sides fresh and tasty, suggesting the dishes are prepared with care and attention to detail. Customers particularly enjoy the roasted pork and Peking duck, which are praised for their just-right seasoning, as well as the option to order combo meals with rice and noodles. While the dim sum is considered average, the overall quality and affordability of the food have kept loyal customers returning to Tai Pan Dim Sum for over a decade.
