Dim Sum in Chattanooga

Dim sum brings the tradition of Cantonese tea service to the table—small plates, often steamed or fried, meant for sharing and sampling across an entire meal. The format centers on variety: dumplings filled with shrimp, pork, or vegetables; buns both savory and sweet; rolls; and other handheld bites, typically ordered from carts or menus as they arrive. It's a social way to eat, built on exploration and conversation rather than a single entrée.
