M M Dim Sum Hk Bbq - PAOLI

Driven past here many times and decided to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, I was surprised by how many people were there on a rainy Sunday afternoon. That led me to believe that this must be a local favorite. I even overheard some regulars talking to the staff about their favorite meals. All of these things excited my wife and I as we were deciding what to order.Overall, everything we ate was delicious! We tried familiar items and some not so familiar, but it was all great. There is certainly a fun vibe in the restaurant as well. My biggest complaints would be that the price point feels a little bit high and that I wish there were more soup dumpling options...but that may just be a me thing! I say that because most other dim sum restaurants I have been to offer lower prices and way more options, but other than that, it really was a good dining experience, and I will most likely come back at some point.

Still the best and most authentic dim sum in the US! It's made by people who know how, served by people who care, and enjoyed by people who know how good it is. We've had many dishes from the main menu as well, and they're great too. But nothing satisfies on a cold rainy night like a huge bowl of congee and half a dozen kinds of assorted dumplings at M&M.

Recommend: hk shrimp shumai, crispy taro dumpling, chef dumplings, chive dumplings, chili oil dumpling sauceGood: fried shrimp paste ball, sticky rice in lotus leaf, soup dumplingsOk: coconut pudding, steamed spare ribWould pass: chaozhou dumplings, egg tartsSome hits and some misses, couldn't find some staples, and pretty expensive. Decent considering area but wasn't a wow.First, this is not the type of place that wheels around a cart, you'll order the dishes you want using a paper. There's also a regular menu but frankly we didn't look at it.I was looking for the tripe (niu ban ye) on the dim sum menu but couldn't find it. Also couldn't find the traditional shrimp dumpling (Xiao jiao/ha gao). Wouldn't change the review too much if I had been able to find/order but it was definitely notable.Chive dumplings were surprisingly good. We were also very happy with the crispy taro dumpling (provided you like taro).We liked the shrimp paste ball and the shrimp shumai.The chef dumplings were also a hit. Would recommend the dumplings steam rather than pan fried (and I normally prefer pan fried) and would definitely ask for the chili oil/sauce/jam thing (if you get them fried they come with the sweet syrupy sauce and not the chili oil. It's worth it to get the chili oil dumpling sauce if you enjoy spicy at all)Steamed spare rib was rather fatty and not super flavorful. Still good but this is normally my favorite thing and it was only ok here.Chaozhou dumplings were overcooked and kind of mushy they're in the rice flour casings that get goopy if over steamed.Egg tart tasted rather eggy and the custard wasn't super smoothHonestly the best part was the chili dumpling sauce. Would ask for more.Atmosphere seemed more modernized/upscale and quiet which isn't really what I expect from a dim sum place but it's not make or break.

Wow!!! Authentic Hong Kong style cuisine..owner is both knowledgeable and very friendly and makes you feel welcome. There dim sum..a huge selection..is some of the best I've had in Philly or it's suburbs...can't find a negative thing to say about food or service..only to hang something on the walls to beautify the space as it detracts from the otherwise great dining experience.

Very good Dim Sum. Good family size dinner options as well. Will be coming back here as the new place to go for real authentic Chinese
