Tom's Dim Sum Media

🥢 Tom’s Dim Sum - Media. We’ve so missed Dim Sum since it seems like the ones we like don’t have outside seating. It turned out that today (Saturday) State St in Media is closed to traffic which means that a bunch of the restaurants have outside tables. 🦐 We ordered the spicy shrimp, broccoli beef, chicken soup dumplings, crystal shrimp and shrimp dumplings…. And a crepe like beef dish, I forgot the exact name. Everything was good but my spicy shrimp is one of the best shrimp dishes I’ve had at a looong time… it is PUNISHINGLY spicy 🌶 but I was in this kind of mood so even though I was breathing an inferno later it was DAMM good! Despite it being a Saturday night, service was mostly good. Usually on Wednesday nights there is Dining under the Stars on State street in Media and on occasional Saturday nights they do this (not sure if it’s posted in advance or what the deal is). Normally, I’m not very enthused about eating on a street but there was quite the lively street scene and great people watching ( I saw kids doing cartwheels in the street!) 🎉 Insiders Tip. Take the kids to either the Tot Lot or Media Elementary School playground before or after a meal, both walking distance away… for dessert go to Scoops Ice Cream ( which we would normally do but it was getting too late for us). A great evening! 🥟

This is my favorite place to eat in Media. The food is amazing, but the top notch service (extremely kind staff), nice decor, and great location will have you coming back for more. The prices are also right on for what you're ordering. All the dumplings we tried were excellent along with some of their other menu items like pork fried rice. Overall I'm very impressed with this place and highly recommend it - just be sure you don't confused this is restaurant with the similarly named one a few doors down. PS: their food is still amazing even for takeout and delivery!
