Had a craving for Dim Sum, so I stopped into this place as I was driving along 170 Street. I "whole-in-the-wall" restaurant that services the many white and blue collared businesses nearby. Low on decor other than the many posters displaying the fair provided.
Service was prompt and continuous. It appeared that many of the other patrons were regulars as their "usuals" were delivered to their table almost as fast as they were seated.
After browsing the picture menu, my server took my order on a preprinted form that had the pricing for each dish. It wasn't long after that my ordered items were placed on my table.
As for the food, it came hot and well prepared. Comparing the taste to other Dim Sum I've tasted, it wasn't bad but not the best.
For lunch, Dim Sum is a pricey meal for one person. But it is a treat to experience now and then. Best to be enjoyed with others.
Dim Sum Delight offers many set price dishes of rice along with a meat choice. The War Wonton Soup seemed to be popular among many of the other luncheon guests. The next time I have my lunch here, I would probably choose one of these offerings.
Dropped in on a Sunday at 12:30 after finding our regular place was overfull. Didn't have much in the way of expectations after reading the reviews. There were two other parties when we arrived. The staff was attentive and energetic. Managed to get our order in and fixe the confusion over how many Tsing Taos we wanted. Then the hot and sour soup came out. Wow. My wife is a regular hot and sour fan, and she declared it superb; I'm lukewarm and I loved it. The gai lan was crispy, the pan fried sticky rice was better than most steamed sticky rice, and the tripe was tender. No, there are no trolleys but that may have been good, since the steamed dumplings were consistently good and tasty. We brought home the take-out menu, and we're looking forward to using it.
The food was very quick and amazing!! The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The steamed shrimp dumplings are great. This was the first time here. I will definitely be coming back!!
Was super pleased to find an all day dim sum place! Not it's not little carts to choose off of, but you get to order what you like over a menu and they bring it out hot and fresh. Staff was polite we all had a great experience.
I like this place. Dim sum all day! They have a picture menu which is awesome! You order what you want and they bring it out all at the same time! Oh and it's cheap too! What's not to like about that!

Best Chinese restaurant. Service was great. Shrimp with peaches and cream is my favorite. Pricey but worth it.
We came to dim sum delight for lunch, the service was friendly and fast, received complimentary tea, the food was tasty and arrived quick, portion sizes were large for dim sum. The shrimp cakes were delicious and the lemon grass chicken skewers were crispy in the outside and juicy on the inside( hard to accomplish when the meat is so thin). I would recommend this place for lunch
Dirty. Service was very unprofessional. I speak Cantonese, but I ordered in English. It was funny listening to the ladies give the customer nick names like the "Fat Man in the corner' or the 'Wrinkly Hag over there'.
Room was dirty and greasy.
Portions are a bit small on some stuff, huge on others. strange.
My black bean chicken was chintzy, mostly celery and tiny bits of chicken. But my order of dim sum rice rolls where huge.
Over all the food and room was to greasy for me and I'd rather eat else where.
Summer 2012. Enjoyed our visit. The food was a bit expensive for Dim Sum, but prices were in line with Edmonton's generally expensive Dim Sum.
Dim Sum is made to order rather than delivered by cart. All of the food arrived hot and fresh and was very tasty. The restaurant seemed to be family run and the service was friendly.
Excellent Food. I ordered a LARGE order for pick up last week. It was ready early, hot and soooo delicious!! We have used Dim Sum Delight in the past for company functions and I have gone on my own time as well. Great place for take out. Food is amazing and service is professional and quick!
Would HIGHLY recommend this place :)
I was craving Dim Sum so much and wanted to go Jumbo Dim Sum since we used to go there. Unfortunatly they were closed, so we came to this place. And we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered 6 Dim Sum and it was very tasty. I loved each and everything. Also, portion was very good. My husband can eat a lot, and he was leaving with full belly!
Delicious dim sum, always fresh and tasty when I get takeout. Accompanying sauces are also very good. It is expensive but really there is no such thing as cheap dim sum. Also, the lady working there, maybe the owner idk, is super nice.
Great food and good sized portions. Ordered some take out dim sum a short while ago and it was great. Given the size of the order, it was ready in very good time and will definitely order from them again.
I've been going to this place for years. Great little restaurant for a mix of western and authentic Chinese cuisine. They also have a handful of dim sum offerings as well. Food always ready soon after ordering. It's a good clean location. Has about 12 to 16 tables. Lots of parking. They are usually quite busy at lunch.
Current review May 2020: still the best dim sum in the city!!! Highly recommend! The people that work here treat you like family.
Some of my favorites are: #2, #16, #20, and #33.
Previous review a year ago: Absolutely fantastic! The owner, she is such a warm and friendly lady. Food is delicious and the service is great! We love their dim sum!
The food was delicious and made fresh. I enjoyed the calamari rings,sticky rice, on tasty egg rolls. The dim sum variety we ordered nicely presented .
