Dim Dim Sum Parnas Tower — Restaurant in Seoul

I’ve visited countless dim sum restaurants over the years, but this is the one I find myself returning to time and time again. It’s become a cherished bi-weekly ritual—a little culinary escape I genuinely look forward to.

The dim sum here is consistently excellent. While they may not come adorned with extravagant gold flakes or served on ornate plates like you might find at a Michelin-starred establishment, the flavors and quality speak for themselves—and in many cases, surpass the more “showy” spots. That said, if they ever decided to add those decorative touches, they’d easily rival any high-end dim sum restaurant.

One of my favorite unique touches is their signature teapot, which dispenses tea from the bottom. It’s a clever and charming feature that I’ve only seen here, and it adds to the overall experience in a fun, memorable way.

I’ve tried nearly everything on the menu, and I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, flavorful, and arrives at the table fresh and steaming. Whether you’re a seasoned dim sum enthusiast or a first-timer, this place offers something special that keeps you...

• Difficulty for Foreigners: Low • Price Range: Around 10,000–20,000 KRW for a meal • Space: Small tables, narrow spacing • Recommended Menu: Dim sum selection + a main dish

• Pro Tip:

Always a long wait, so check in early and come back when you get the notification. Portions are small, and the seasoning is on the mild side, but prices per dish are reasonable. Ordering about three items (a main + sides) makes for a decent meal without going over 30,000 KRW.

The rice bowls here aren’t the best—the meat tends to be a bit dry and tough, so I’d stick to dim sum instead. That said, DimDimSum is consistently good across locations, which makes it a safe bet. Compared to Din Tai Fung, the portions and prices are smaller, and the flavors are also a bit lighter.

Overall, it’s solid. Nothing mind-blowing, but a reliable dim sum spot that...

They mixed up my order. Order the wonton noodle soup, but they gave me the bbq duck noodle soup. I ordered the bbq duck dry noodle, that's why I ordered the wanton soup noodle, but they still insisted I ordered the bbq duck noodle soup. Don't wanna argue with them, so just accept it.

Bbq duck noodle 6/10 Duck not tasty, but the noodle is good and tasty. They stir-fried it. Soup can really comment, is the same thing with soup, but noodle didn't stir fry.

Maybe that is the taste of Chinese food in Korea. Doesn't really taste like Chinese food...
