Slightly slow service but dim sum outstanding. Love the chicken feet. Shrimp balls outstanding. The pork bun just incredible

We came to try the dim sum as that is one craving that must be fulfilled appropriately. The food was very slow, but it was obviously fresh. My mother is from Hong Kong and she said the food seemed homemade and tasted like home. Prices are a tad high, but we will be back for that dim sum when the craving strikes.

Got Uber takeout of General Tso's chicken, BOGO on a Saturday night. The staff were very nice and the food was hot and ready in a well packed container. However, the chicken had zero crunch and was quite soggy, and the fortune cookies were super stale.

I came here on a Monday afternoon and the food was excellent and fresh The char siu pork fried rice tasted excellent and it is very hard to find good pork fried rice in the triangle
I also had the Mongolian beef and is clearly made with high-quality ingredients and tasted good
Overall, I could see why the service mentioned in the other reviews could be an issue. It was not busy at all when I came there, but there was only two servers.
But the restaurant is very clean. The food is fresh and it tastes good. Nothing to complain about if you like Chinese food I would highly recommend for you to try it. 8.5/10

I would say this is the best dim sum in the area. But it isn’t as good as the ones I had in the west coast or in china. They served dim sum all week, however if you want push cart they only have it on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-2:30pm.

Terribly slow service. They blamed it on the new waitress but our table sat for an hour asking for our checks multiple times. Then it took 30 minutes for them to sort out our checks.

I really want to know what people going here usually order, as the dishes I've ordered so far were not the best, waited an hour for my pick up food. The two times I've been I've seen a lot of Chinese customers so is there a secret menu what I'm not aware of as having spent 20 years in China and Taiwan I know they shouldn't have that menu customers with the food being so subpar.

This place is absolutely atrocious. They are over crowded and under staffed. Everyone is running around like they don’t know what to do. I was in there for over an hour and only had 2 dim sum carts come over to us. They keep apologizing but doing nothing to make the situation better. I will NEVER return to this horribly managed place.

Service was very slow and an absolute deal breaker for returning. Dim sum was pretty good. We've had better experiences and better food elsewhere in the area.
Traditional dishes are expensive, but dim sum is great with reasonable price.

The food is absolutely delicious, and the price is reasonable. Very authentic Cantonese Dim Sum dishes. I hope Shanghai Alley can fill the gap in quality Asian cuisine in Charleston, SC. Although Charleston has consistently ranked among the top 10 food cities in the U.S., it has lacked a Chinese restaurant as good as Shanghai Alley.
