Dim Sum

Don Mee's is very proud to continue offering the ever-popular daily tradition of exotic dim sum cuisine.

What is Dim Sum?

Literally translated, "dim sum" means "to touch the heart." It is also known as "yum char," meaning "to have tea accompanied by a few appetizers." It is actually a full lunch, consisting of an array of dainty and delicious Cantonese-style snacks presented on trolleys by waitresses circulating throughout the dining area, calling out the dish names in Cantonese.

How to Order

Rather than ordering from a menu, you may select directly from the numerous offerings on the various carts.

Typically, dim sum dishes are served in covered bowls, in steamers or on small plates - sometimes on specially heated trolleys. When a waitress approaches, ask her what dishes she offers and, if you wish, have her remove the lids so you can view the contents. Simply indicate the dishes you would like and, after serving you, the waitress will mark it down on your bill.
