What an amazing experience! My family and I visited the gallery and learned about the powerful, humorous and moving art directly from Cai and Adam. While we were there, we also took advantage of the opportunity to order a delicious lunch of dumplings, spring rolls, buns and scallion pancakes. A terrific way to spend an afternoon in Brattleboro. We look forward to visiting, again! Thank you!

Great food! Delightful people! The Vegan Abundance Box is my favorite. Love Cai's Dim Sum !

The kale and tofu dumplings were tasty! The veggie bun too. Everything was prepared freshly and quickly. The fillings are homemade and have great flavor. Very enjoyable vegan experience!

A very pleasant experience overall. My wife and I were on our way to Wilmington and had wanted to try Cai's Dim Sum for over a year now. We only get to the area 4-5 times per year and this time through we pulled in spur of the moment on a Sunday night 10 mins after they closed. Even though he started cleaning up, Adam didn't hesitate to offer to fire up the stoves and make us some dumplings and steamed buns while we walked around the art gallery! What a pleasant surprise and thoughtful gesture! Yes we were starving, but the food did not disappoint. The sticky buns were perfect specially when topped with some of the hot chili spice. The dumplings were really delicious as well. The beef dumplings were the better of the two, but the mushroom dumplings were good too. We will certainly be back for another visit and we can't wait to more fully explore the menu. Thank you for taking time after you closed to provide such a delicious snack. If you're driving through Brattleboro, it's a must to order ahead and pickup some great food from great people for the drive.

So... this might actually be my favorite new restaurant!! :)Our daughter turned 18 two days ago, and she wanted dim sum so I called... Turns out that they are mainly take-away, but when I mentioned that we were looking for a special way to celebrate-- well, they pulled out all the stops! We would up with an AMAZING private dining experience where they decorated just for her and we ate her special meal in an art gallery!! What?!? So perfect and lovely!!Her two friends (one vegetarian and one GF and dairy-free) were amazed how much food there was for them, given their restrictions-- and the food was SO delicious and authentic!! Did I mention that we lived in China? So, when I say authentic, I am not kidding! The pork bao brought us all right back to Shanghai-- and the amazing variety of dumplings was fantastic and creative! And delicious!! The noodles (one spicy w/o peanuts and one mild but with) were lovely and filling!We are already plotting what next event we might have here just so we can return!! If you're in the area, I STRONGLY recommend getting some amazing take away from some of the most talented and charming chefs we have ever had the pleasure to meet!!

I had a DoorDash delivery and it was nice and hot when I received. Whoever said the food was bland must have been coming down with a cold or something bc it definitely wasn't. It tasted extremely good to me! Nicely seasoned but not heavily. I thought the price was high for the Box of Abundance Chicken but the portion size was awesome! If you are a heavy eater maybe small for you but doubt it. Maybe you are used to those Chinese food buffets idk! I would definitely order again when I'm in town

Take out, simple online ordering and delicious, healthy food. I had pork/chive dumplings and a pork bun. Both delicious.

Great dumplings, easy ordering and quick service. They completed our order under the estimated time. Their hot chili oil is also great!

We found this on Yelp and are so glad we did! Lots of GF options, which admittedly weren't as good as the gluten full ones, but that's usually the case. Pork box, chicken box, pork bun, szechuan noodles were all fantastic. GF scallion pancake was a little burnt and needs some more scallions, but still pretty good. The mushroom dumplings were a bit disappointing, but not inedible. This will definitely be on our list for takeout whenever we're in town! We ordered in advance and she handed us the food as we pulled in.
This is simply delicious. If you love dumplings and steamed buns, it's so satisfying. There are vegan options which are delicious too. The tofu in the tofu box is so good I don't know how they do it!
Lauren S.
Consistently amazing food. The pork buns cannot be beat, dumplings are to die for. Fast, friendly service and all around great people.
Jonathan P.
Give it a try. Easy ordering online very cool vibe once you are inside. Gluten free version not great.

Delicious, clean flavors made by pleasant people. I love their dumplings (so many varieties!) and scallion pancakes so much that I haven't branched out, actually.

If you haven't yet tried this amazing place, do so soon! Everything was perfectly prepared and presented. The flavors are nothing like you will find elsewhere.
