7 Dim Sum

Had the Xiaolongbao here today and it was great. I would say it’s on par with Din Tai Fung, but presentation is not as good (not as many folds). The green onion cake was good. Next time I would like to try the hot and sour soup. Highly recommend this place.

The dumplings are comparable to Markham but get their beef pancakes… its probably the best I’ve had in Toronto. The braised beef soup needs more meat and vegetables but decent enough.

The best dumplings in Toronto. Everything we have tried has been fantastic. Soup dumplings are a favourite, and the pancake was tender and crispy. Their fried dumplings are done with the lattice batter which is my favourite style. All of the filling is flavourful and cooked perfectly and the dough has a pleasant chew to it.
Their chili is homemade and AMAZING. Super spicy and fresh. This is secretly my favourite part about coming here. I want to bottle it up and take it home. It reminds the boyfriend of his mother’s chili.
I have never seen anyone else in here, so please go! I don’t want to lose my favourite dumpling joint. The restaurant is cute, although the music is always really weird. The owner is very nice. Highly recommended :)

Don’t eat here…
Don’t eat here if you’re a regular Unilocaler.
Don’t eat here if you’re a ‘foodie’
Don’t eat here if you’re gonna breakdown the menu and how its ‘Not Dim Sum’
Don’t eat here if you’re reading this for the comments.
Don’t eat here if you’re gonna tell a friend about the Chinese joint in Greektown.
But. Eat here.
. To stuff your face,
. To out your phone down and enjoy a meal
. Lastly enjoy the same type of meal I had.
Me and my friends ordered everything!

Just stopped in to get some dim sum… Asked for the menu and was told they only serve dumplings and no other dim sum. That is not dim sum. Don’t name yourself a dim sum restaurant and not serve dim sum. I’m so greatly disappointed

Loved the shrimp and pork soup dumplings, onion pancake and firey dumplings.
Very small place, but very nice, excellent service.

This is not your full fledged dim sum joint. You will be hard pressed to find all your favourite dim sum items that you often order at larger Chinese restaurants (cha lau). However, whatever items they have on the menu, they deliver it well.
The dumplings are well made (they don’t fall apart of crack) and the filling is fresh and delicious. You can definitely tell these guys make it fresh and frequently. The infamous xiao long bao (one of my favs) holds up well. The skin is thin yet tough to break and the soup inside is great. It’s like heaven in a single bit (except you may not want to do that if you want to avoid a 2^nd degree burn inside your mouth — read the eating instructions provided by the restaurant).
All in all, a great place to grab a quick snack or even snack until you’re stuffed. LOL

This is my favourite place to have dimsum. by the way, for those non-​chinese speaking people, the name «7 dimsum» sounds like «eat dimsum» in Mandarin :-)
Anyway, carrying on the review. I like this place more than any of the Chinatown places because it’s homemade, low volume, and the owner runs the show 7 days a week! He’s always friendly and chat with you and make sure you’re well taken care of. The flavour is not overpowering, it taste like home-​made food! It doesn’t make you feel sleepy or disgusting like some of the cheap Chinese food restaurants. I know for sure they don’t use MSG.
My favorite dishes are spicy wonton, beef pancake roll and the amazing black sesame sweet mochi balls in rice wine for dessert! It’s just the right amount of sweetness and doesn’t give you that crazy sugar high like some of the deserts will. It’s just the right amount of satisfaction to complete a full meal.
Please don’t run this place down by making it too popular and turn it into another chain restaurant.*yuck*! Stay small and homey and I promise to come back lots and lots to support you!

A welcome addition to the neighbourhood. My wife and I typically have to drive up to Markham /​Richmond Hill for decent dumplings. Not anymore.
We found this place by accident and dropped in. Ordered the crab/​pork soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, and a few other dishes but those I considered as the highlight. You can taste the crab in these dumplings whereas other places you wonder if they remembered the crab at all. The noodles taste homemade. I feel the chef’s love in his cooking.
We will definitely be back soon.

I’ve been here about 5 times since the grand opening on March 1, 2015. I think it’s about time that I add my thoughts to the Unilocal community. Hands down the best soup filled dumplings in downtown Toronto. The shrimp and pork is my personal favourite. I tried the durian fruit cake and it was a bit too doughy-​y for my tastes, but who cares? Their speciality is soup filled dumplings, and they are simply delightful.

Delicious delicate little dumplings. Unique but subtle flavoring. Would like to go with more people to try more things. We had the shui mai, shrimp/​pork dumplings and the green onion pancake. All was delish.

I was walking home and noticed this new place. Open for just 3 weeks now. Located at Jones on the Danforth. Looks like I get the first review. Checked it out on Sunday. Nice clean location. Excellent helpful service by the owner himself. When we wondered if we had ordered enough food he was honest to say that our order should cover us. Food was delivered to the table in a timely fashion. Tea provided on a regular basis. Lots of different things to order. Menu can be found on their Facebook Page as it would seem they don’t have a website yet (at least I couldn’t find one.) They do have a twitter account.
Enjoyed the Pancake Roll With Beef, Deep Fried Eggplant, and their specialty Shrimp and Soup Pork Dumplings. They flag that all their cuisine is homemade and it definitely tastes that way (Tasty). I was full by the time we left.
Definitely worth checking out and a nice addition to Danforth East.

Simply amazing and far exceeded our expectations. Everything was just perfect, so we just kept ordering one more fish. Do yourself a favour and just order 2 orders of the pork soup dumplings right off the bat to save having to place another order. I’m mad at myself that we waited for a few months to try. Best addition to the strip in years and will become a weekly meal in sure.
