Dim Sum Restaurants in Uncasville, CT

“Feels Like Home – Amazing Cantonese Food! Golden Palace in Connecticut is hands down one of the best Cantonese restaurants I’ve been to. Their dim sum is so authentic — just like the kind you’d get in Hong Kong or southern China. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming — every time I come here, I feel like I’m back home in China. It’s that kind of warm, family-style hospitality that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a comforting Cantonese meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Oriental Bar and Grill is tucked behind another building in Connecticut in a way that makes it genuinely easy to miss from the road. The exterior is intriguing, with waterfalls and small ponds with koi fish out front.

The interior is large and classically decorated, the kind of dining room that was built to handle volume without feeling like a cafeteria. The koi fish out front have a quarter machine nearby that dispenses food, which is a small detail that tends to land well if you are visiting with kids. The overall setup is comfortable and well maintained, and the space gives the restaurant a presence that most Chinese restaurants in the area do not match.

The dim sum is the main draw and it is served until 3pm, so timing your visit accordingly is important. The har gow and shumai are well executed and hold up against what you would find at comparable restaurants in Boston or New York. The chili oil is good and worth using liberally. The shrimp wonton noodle soup is a standout and worth ordering on its own. For those coming outside dim sum hours the full menu covers a solid range of Cantonese dishes. The fried rice, salt and pepper squid, fish filet in chili oil, and chow fun all perform well, and the portions throughout are generous enough that ordering with a group and sharing makes the most sense.

On quieter days the food quality is noticeably more consistent. For good dim sum in Connecticut and a Cantonese dining room that takes the food seriously, it is worth the effort of finding.“
