Have you ever had Chinese Dim Sum?

Contributor: Rossie Rossie
I thought Chinese Dim Sum is very common, and was surprised to know a lot of my Oregonian friends have never eaten this type of Chinese food. Have you had Dim Sum? Do you like it?

I like both the more common Southern style Dim Sum served on carts as well as the Northern style.

I like Dim Sum, but I always hated having to wait for the carts to come around. I'm a bigger fan of conveyor belt sushi.

Yes! King's Dim Sum in southeast Portland is pretty good.

I don't "like" "like" Dim Dum not do I dislike it. It is just... common around here.

I prefer the various dipping vinegars they bring me. Mmmm.... vinegar!!!

I LOVE it. I used to go to this cute little authentic chinese resturant and order it when ever I felt bad. I haven't found another place that serves it since it closed.

Heard of it but not sure if I would eat it. Usually I stick to the same foods when ordering from places. Had some bad experiences in the past.

I know what Dim Sum is and I like it. It really depends on the restaurant though. It can be really awesome, and it can be very disappointing.

I love both styles also, but the Southern style seems to be more common.

When I'm impatient waiting for the carts to reach my side of the restaurant, I'll ask the waiters to get me the Dim Sums I wanted, and they'll hurry the carts over; I'm not embarrassed to do so or else I won't get my food for a while!

I LOVE sushi boats too!

Have you tried Ocean City? They're not too far from King's and they have pretty good Dim Sum also, and they're less expensive than King's.

You should give it a try, Dim Sum is a wide variety of Chinese small plates, I'm sure there will be some that suit your taste bud.

Don't know where in Michigan are you. I googled Dim Sum in Michigan and a few Chinese restaurants popped up on the screen...go give it a try if there's one in your area.

Dim Sum is OK. There are dozens of choices (like shushi) - some I like some I don't. No Duck's Feet for me!

I have never had it at all and I had a trainer for work who was Chinese. I think I had one real Chinese meal the whole 2 months we were together on the road. Interesting may have to ask him about Dim Sum
