Hahahaha not sure why people like this place. Not very tasty and expensive. The fried har gaw (shrimp dumplings) don't taste fantastic and the filling inside is not a lot. Other dim sum places will have the filling bursting inside. The chee cheong fun is meh. The egg tarts are small and nothing fantastic. Siew mai doesn't look very handmade ngl. Overall would not eat here again.

I came here for dinner at 6.25pm. Ordered and waited for 20mins, wondering why people who came later than us got their food first. That's when my family notified the staff and apparently, one of the counter staff mistakenly threw away our order slip. That's why our order didn't arrive, because it wasn't even placed in the first place! The staff who took our order should've communicated and monitored our order to ensure that it was placed appropriately. Other than that food wise, it was ok. Decent meal. Service needs improvement.

I’ve been a loyal fan of Dolly Dim Sum for years, as my family and I frequently dine at their Selangor and KL outlets for lunch or dinner. However, today I decided to try the JB outlet for the first time since I’m currently staying here for college. Unfortunately, today’s visit was a bit disappointing compared to our usual experiences. The Royal Fried Rice, which is typically fluffy and flavorful, was surprisingly a bit mushy. My favorite dish, the Dolly Mozza Roll, was overly crispy today, which made the shrimp inside lose its springy texture and turn chewy. Despite these letdowns, the Szechuan Dumplings (4pcs) were as delicious as ever, with a perfect balance of spice and umami. The Sea Coconut Dessert was also a refreshing end to the meal, just as pictured. While this visit wasn’t perfect, I’ll definitely return, hoping for a better experience next time.

We ordered several dim sum favourites; chicken feet, salad prawn dumplings, fishball (accompanied by adamame) and meat croquettes. Overall not too bad.

Staff are nice and service is prompt. Best food was the steamed Crystal Prawn dumplings....tender-thin skin filled with prawn and chives. Second best was the seasonal baby kai lan....fresh leaves, lightly salted and stir-fried with garlic. The roasted BBQ steamed buns were larger than expected. Tried the Qi Li Xiang tea....said to have a buttery aroma with high notes of floral honey. Good Chinese tea is always a treat :)

About 6 dishes plus drinks are about sgd17 each person. At least the restaurant serves dim sum on top of other food, so it has a good variety. There is no queue each time I head there, maybe because of the famous "Oriental Kopitiam" beside it, which takes all the crowd. Food doesn't taste extraordinary, and I have no complaints about it. Service is efficient, too.

We ordered (by order of our favourites) szechuan dumpling, salad prawn dumpling, siew mai, egg custard bun and cantonese noodle.

A nice and cozy restaurant serving varieties of dimsum and other selection of Chinese foods. Just a little bit pricey.

Came with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised with the food despite being a halal establishment. Generally we liked it and would come here again but it's not a full meal place and variety can be a little limited. Fried cantonese noodles had wok hei. Overall can be a little pricey for JB standards but efficiency on the time that took to serve and the servers' were good.

Good place to eat. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Food service is also fast. The decor is beautiful, worthy of social media posts. The food is also delicious and affordable, while still filling. I ordered most of the dim sums on the menu for my lunch, enough to feel full. The porridge with a century egg also looked good. They also have a good selection of Chinese teas.

Had a wonderfully delicious dim sum lunch yesterday. Ordered a wide selection of dishes, not forgetting our favourite chicken feet. All the dishes were delivered to our table very fast. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The service were friendly and helpful in selecting our dishes. Delicious food with great service, we will be back again soon.

This is a Halal dim sum outlet. Authentic dim sum. The Cheong fun skin is on the thick side though. The siew mai and bean curd skin rolls were good. The Thai fried rice was a bit oily side. Well patronized but not so crowded that you have to queue and wait to be seated.

The food was pretty good, and the service was friendly and efficient. My favourite is the yam croquette. The golden fried rice was tasty but could do with more wok hei. Can skip the siew mai.
