Dim Sum Dishes You Absolutely Need to Try

Dim sum is all about small bites with big flavors, and Seafood Cove 2 delivers on all the classics.

Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)

Thin, translucent wrappers filled with plump, juicy shrimp—these are a dim sum staple for a reason.

Siu Mai (Pork & Shrimp Dumplings)

Topped with a tiny pop of roe, these are meaty, flavorful, and packed with umami.

Egg Tarts

Flaky, buttery crust with a silky, slightly sweet custard filling—these are always a good idea.

Turnip Cake

Crispy on the outside, soft and savory on the inside, with bits of Chinese sausage and dried shrimp adding depth.

BBQ Pork Buns

Pillowy-soft buns filled with sweet and smoky char siu pork—one of the best comfort foods ever.

If you’re feeling adventurous, these are braised until tender and packed with rich, garlicky flavor.

Rice noodle rolls are filled with savory ingredients and drizzled with a fragrant soy-based sauce, creating a perfect balance of texture and flavor.

Steamed Pork Ribs

These bite-sized pork ribs are steamed to tender perfection, infused with savory garlic and black bean flavors, making them a dim sum favorite.
