TimWah Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant

Food was decent. Pork and chive dumplings were the best and actually tasted like the were freshly made. Most of the dim sum tasted like it had been frozen. The meal was good but not something I would crave. But it is more authentic than most of the other places. Service was a little slow

Jacksonville is so gullible when it comes to food because this place is very basic. You can hardly read the menu ,there is no price on the menu. Their Customer Service is horrible and none existing . We waited for over 1hr to get our food. Inside the restaurant was very warm like the air wasn’t on. What we went for they didn’t have it. Idk what all the hype was about, but we didn’t have the Dimsum experience at this place.

Overall, the food was just okay, nothing to write home about. Customer service was decent, and while the atmosphere was small, it felt warm and welcoming.

Their food is good. Their service is NOT. The lady in the front doesn’t know how to smile and she is always on her phone. You have to ask for boxes to go. And you have to ask for your check. They don’t refill your drinks. They don’t even say thank you for coming or nothing. Basically they don’t talk to you at all. They just give you your food and that is it. Too bad the service sucks. If not I would be spending my money here way more often.

Nice cozy place. The dim sum is hot and brilliantly delicious.

The fried rice is otherworldly.

I am now angry at the other fried rice I've eaten in Jacksonville.

Instant short list of this is where to go for great food.

This is one of those places you don't want to tell everyone about so you can get a table, but you still want to tell everyone cause it's so awesome.

I'm full and looking on with envy at the dishes coming out to the other tables.....

My leftovers might not even make it home.

Service was great, some fried deserts had too much air within them, making it harder to eat.

After wrapping up church service this morning, my stomach was growling like crazy, so I decided to check out this local spot for some authentic Chinese dim sum. I've been craving those steamed buns and dumplings forever, and TimWah seemed like the perfect quick stop in Jacksonville!

Let me start with the good stuff: The food? Oh man, it was GOOD—really, really good! I loaded up on classics like shrimp shumai, pork siu mai, and those fluffy BBQ pork buns that just melt in your mouth.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit that perfect balance of savory and steamy. But the real star? Their chili oil—it's hands down one of the spiciest I've ever tasted!

🔥 It had this intense, fiery kick with a hint of garlic and sesame that elevated every bite. If you're a spice lover like me, you'll be in heaven (just have water handy!).

Now, the not-so-great part: The service... well, it sucks big time. 😩 It was painfully slow—think waiting forever just to get a menu or refill on tea—and the place wasn't even busy when I arrived.

They weren't rude or anything, just disorganized and understaffed, which made the whole experience drag. I get it, dim sum spots can get chaotic, but this was next-level sluggish.

That said, I think I got lucky timing-wise! When I walked in, the restaurant was totally empty—nice and quiet with that cozy, no-frills Asian eatery vibe (think simple decor, steaming carts, and the aroma of fresh dim sum filling the air). But within 15 minutes, it exploded with people—families, groups, you name it—and suddenly it was packed!

The server even had to start telling new customers to wait outside in line. Pro tip: Go early to beat the rush!

Overall, come here for the killer food (seriously, dim sum dreams come true), but definitely not for the service. If you're patient and all about the eats, it's worth it. Would I go back? For that chili oil alone, heck yes! Who's tried TimWah? Drop your thoughts below—any must-order dishes I missed? 🥟🍲

It was my first time here and the cashier Liz was EXTREMELY helpful and nice! The food was very tasty. The chicken feet are very tender and savory.
