" For authentic dim sum, Don Mee has my heart! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles from the staff. The dim sum carts were fun and featured a broad variety of items, allowing us to try a little bit of everything. Each dish was fresh and full of flavor. The pricing was reasonable for the quality we received. The atmosphere was bustling yet cozy, making it a fantastic spot for a family gathering. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Don Mee for lunch, and while the ambiance was delightful, the food did not quite match my expectations. The dim sum tasted good, though the flavors could have been more vibrant. We ordered a wide variety, but a couple of items weren't fresh and left us disappointed. The service was friendly, but occasionally slow, which diminished the experience. Overall, it was decent but I expected more from such a well-known restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Don Mee and relished the experience. As dim sum enthusiasts, we were thrilled with the authenticity of dishes and the cart service was a fantastic addition to the ambiance. Everything was reasonably priced, and we left satisfied and eager for seconds. It's a great decision for families looking for an engaging dining experience. We'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited Don Mee on a Saturday afternoon, hoping for a delicious dim sum meal. The decor felt traditional and welcoming. However, while the food was quite good overall, the shrimp dumplings fell flat, lacking the freshness expected from a high-quality dim sum restaurant. The staff was friendly but seemed stretched thin, as our service was somewhat slow. I would recommend it if you're in the area, but it might not be my first choice next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fantastic dinner at Don Mee last week! The dim sum was fresh and authentic. Each dish was bursting with flavor, especially the shrimp har gow and pork siu mai. The cart service made it a fun experience and we enjoyed selecting a variety of dishes for our table. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the portions were generous and great for sharing. The atmosphere was bustling, perfect for a lively evening out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Don Mee based on other reviews, but my experience was just okay. The atmosphere was lively, and the design of the restaurant was charming. However, the food was often lukewarm upon arrival, which disappointed me. The shrimp dim sum, in particular, did not have a fresh flavor. The service was fairly attentive, but the wait time for food was longer than expected. I may consider giving it a second chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Mee lived up to its reputation for dim sum! I had a wonderful dinner experience with a large group. The variety of dishes exceeded my expectations, and the flavors were deeply authentic. Service was friendly, if a bit hasty—that's expected in busy places though! Prices were decent for the portion sizes provided. A nostalgic touch was the dim sum cart, this is absolutely a place for dim sum lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
