What Are the Top Dim Sum Restaurants in Malaysia?

Dim sum restaurants in Malaysia are booked for group lunches, family brunches and company meals, by the basket, on a set menu or as a table of ten. Hosts quote a price per basket, per head or per table, before tax and any service charge, and many serve dim sum at lunch only.

  • Hotel Cantonese restaurants. Dim sum lunches with private dining rooms for family celebrations, such as Lai Po Heen and Yun House.
  • Chinese banquet restaurants. A set menu with dim sum courses for a company lunch suits planners comparing Chinese restaurants in Malaysia.
  • Neighbourhood dim sum restaurants. Weekend lunches at shared round tables, so ask each host which hours take reservations.
  • Tea and brunch rooms. Slower family tables over tea suit planners comparing tea venues in Malaysia.
Ask the host for a quote yourself, and pay us nothing extra.

Dim Sum Lunches in Malaysia: Baskets, Set Menus and Round Tables

A group dim sum lunch is ordered basket by basket or as a set menu priced per head. Large tables get a faster lunch with a set menu.

  • Basket by basket: the table orders as it eats, and the bill is split by basket.
  • Set menu: a fixed list of dim sum and dishes priced per head, easier to budget for a company.
  • Round table: tables of ten share dishes on a turntable.
  • Lunch hours: many hosts cook dim sum at lunch only, so ask for the cut-off.
  • Bigger parties: groups beyond one table can compare restaurants for large groups in Malaysia.

Corporate Dim Sum Lunches in Malaysia: Chinese Food for Company Meals

Company lunches with Chinese food are booked as a set menu in a private room or a reserved section. Planners send the host the headcount and the budget per head.

  • Set menu per head: easier to approve than ordering from the basket list.
  • Private room: ask for a screen or microphone if the lunch has speeches.
  • Banquet set-up: some hosts arrange round tables in a banquet layout for staff.
  • Dietary counts: send vegetarian numbers with the headcount.
  • Client lunches: hosts can set formal tables, and planners also compare corporate event dining in Malaysia.

  • Private room: a closed room for a family celebration suits private room restaurants in Malaysia.
  • Outside food: ask if a cake or dessert table is allowed, and what the fee is.
