  BEST DIM SUM EVER! The owner was so nice, since I placed a large order they gave me a free cake for Chinese New Year! I will definitely be back!
  All servings are 3 or 4 pieces, $2.88 each
  Made fresh
  & they DO take cards, minimum order of $10 though

  My family commemorates the passing of their patriarch on this date, then we share a dim sum together. We Googled Dim Sum near where we were and we tried this place. It’s a small location, mostly to-go phone orders, the lady said. But they had room for our 12 person party, so we ate in. Varied menu and we ordered a lot! It was delicious and everyone went home happy and satiated, with plenty of leftovers for later. The lady was very nice and happily accommodated our every request. My wife told her nephew, “Now THAT is a hole-in-the-wall find!” We will be back! Thank you!

  The food was bomb! Husband really liked the egg yolk buns. Got 10 items for such a reasonable price! Just wish they had more veggies.

  I've been here twice and both experiences were splendid. My party loved everything we got.
  
  Dim Sum King sits in a small plaza on Garvey Ave and Peck Road South. It can be a bit hard to miss as its an extremely small, hole in the wall, so try using Google Maps or Waze just to be sure you are going to the right place.
  
  Walking inside, as well as seeing the outside can be a bit underwhelming, but if you all did not learn from life already, these places are usually where you can get the best food at a significantly cheaper price and this is indeed the place that lives up to that. There is bit of parking as I can assume the parking lot here does not get too busy, but it can feel a bit cramped at times. The restaurant is also really small, with six tables cramped into their, four of those tables seating four customers and two of them seating two customers.
  
  The service here is great as the people serving me were nice, attentive, and quick. The food here is delicious and cheap, however I did have two different experiences (still good though) with some of the food so I would not say it is consistent. I've ordered almost half the menu already.

  This is my family's go-to place for dim sum now because the price is great for the portion that is included. The taste and quality is also great. I've interacted with the people that run it during busy time and an hour before closing time and they have always been respectable (just don't expect everyone in the world to smile for you). English is limited so try to figure it out from the English fill-in menu and pictures at the counter.

Good and affordable dim sum! Majority of the items are priced at $2.88. (You get 5 shi Mai here where most dim sums only give 4!!) If you are to come here after 5pm, most of the food are gone BUT if you're willing to wait, they'll steam the items you want.
