Yum Cha is Vegas spot for Dim Sum All day priced very well tastes just like downtown LA
This was such an amazing dim sum place! I saw that this had high ratings and wanted to give it a try. So happy I got the chance to try this place because it was worth it! I came when they first opened and everyone was so kind and patient with us. Definitely recommend getting the pork skin and chicken feet. I could tell the food was all fresh!
Was looking for a dim sum restaurant and saw Yum Cha. I looked at the menu beforehand and noticed traditional and non-traditional items. Servers were pretty attentive, restaurant was clean, and there was even a dim sum hype woman that basically had us ordering more than we could eat haha.
The good
1. Golden Sand Lava Custard Bun - What a name! We found out they make it fresh to order. None of it is premade. This was really, really good. The buns came out super hot and it was so soft and flaky. After you take your first bite, the hot custard just oozes out. They did not skimp on the custard which tasted amazing! You have to get this!
2. Shrimp Dumpling - The typical dim sum restaurant would have a thick skin and be lacking in shrimp. However, I found that they gave a lot of shrimp and the skin was thin. I would recommend this!
3. Donut Shrimp - This was interesting!. Basically a Chinese donut wrapped around some kind of shrimp paste and deep fried. Dip it with the sweet/sour sauce and this was a tasty treat!
4. Rice Noodle with Curry Sauce - I've only ever had Rice Noodle with the soy sauce based sauce. This was pretty good if you enjoy lighter curries. Definitely unique and worth trying.
5. Curry Fish Balls - I thought the curry flavors were really good. They added crispy fried scallions (I think) which helped elevate this dish.
6. Crispy Eggplant (Appetizer) - This was recommended on the menu and I can see why. The flavors were good and it came out crispy and hot. At first, I couldn't tell if it was eggplant but overall I liked the dish. The breading is pretty filling so be warned.
The alright
1. Shrimp + Pork Shumai - This wasn't bad, just I've had better. There was a decent amount of pork and shrimp but it just didn't wow me.
2. Roti Canai (Appetizer) - This was marked as most popular. The Roti Canai was pretty good but the curry was a little watery for me.
Your average all day dim sum spot. So they don't have the carts here you just order from the menu and it still comes out cart style in the steamed pans. Food was just okay and so was service.
This is a Vegas staple when it comes to dim sum. Service is quick, efficient and friendly. They haven't changed their interior in over a decade which makes it nostalgic for me. The chicken feet, pork spare ribs, fried glutinous rice dumpling and shrimp har gow are some of my favorites here. However I wasn't a big fan of the siu mai - it was bland and could have been bigger. I also think it's interesting they open pretty late (10AM) for a place that specializes in dim sum.
Best Golden Sand Lava Custard Bun ever! Very attentive staff and food come out fast. Bill for three was under a $100.
Excellent service and food here not too far from the strip. We enjoyed everything we ordered. It was tasty and fresh! Definitely be back for another meal whenever I am driving by or in Vegas.
Five stars is based on food and service. If you are a stickler for cleanliness, go to din tai fung. Looking for great food, stop here.
10 groups in front of us and it was a 30 minute wait.not bad as we stopped by on a busy day. They were so busy, they had a sign saying no take out orders.
No carts here and you order from a menu. Food comes out quick. The lo mein was one of the best I've ever had. Perfect for my picky 3 and 5 year old. Chicken feet and magic rice were highlights. The pork and shrimp shumi was ok.
Service was actually great. Owners greeted the tables.
Worth a try!
