Toey Dim Sum — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

We had lunch at this place on Saturday. I do not think that the name of the place is written in English. We had used Google maps and since we did not find a spot to park, where Google Maps said the restaurant was, we stopped a bit ahead of this area and did see a dim sum place, right where we stopped. On asking the staff, it turned out that this is Toey's Dim Sum. We ahd to look around a bit to find parking on the street. They have the dim sum displayed and I believe that whatever is available is displayed there and you pick and choose from there. English is not well understood by the staff. We could not get a menu, so not sure if the practice is to look at the displayed items and order. You choose what you want at the display and it is steamed and brought to the table. The food was very tasty and quantity was also good for the price you pay. It is sort of self service as you pickup the beverages, glasses and cutlery yourselves. The empty containers and bottles are left at the table and once you are doen eating and ready to the pay the bill, the empties are counted to determine the money you...

Great dim sum place. Takes a bit of insider knowledge of the system to be able to do it, as generally people don't speak much English.

To get food, you need to get a table, then go to the counter at the front, where the steamer is and choose your dishes. Just point at them and indicate how many. Then they steam then for you and bring them to the table. There are also some deep fried dishes (prawn rolls, gyoza) which you have to ask for at the deep frying station. Once you've ordered, sit back down and they will deliver when they are ready.

There are some chili sauce and fried garlic bits available near the deep fried station which you can get small dishes of to season your dim sum.

Help yourself to drinks from the fridge, they will charge you at the end.

Some people seemed to have other stir fried dishes, but we couldn't figure out how to order those.

Not sure how the pricing works but we paid 500 bht for a meal for 4 twice, including...

Simple noodle shop style dim sum restaurant.. A bit confusing to a westerner at 1st.. Everything is in Thai language. Also for those that are not familiar with this style... In the front you will see a stand filled with different types of dim sum and dumplings. There are a few other options on the trays,such as meat or vegetables. Basically it is pointing the ones you want to try out, one of these and one of these one of those etc. The person will then take each tray and put it into a bamboo steamer while you take a seat. The only thing you will be asked is what you need to drink. 5 minutes and all of the steaming baskets are delivered and then you can enjoy. 24 bhat per tray.. Still hungry or find something you really enjoyed? Just head back and pick out more. Time to check out? Someone will come count how many steamers you have, multiply by 24... It was delicious and such...
