Reviews
Gourmet Inspirations is the place to go if you are craving dim sum. they will not disappoint you with food and service. It’s always packed here, but their people are so quick to move lines up.
Angelyn R
Been here several times and I love pretty much everything we’ve tried—they also fill the BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll with so much pork, in contrast to other places that skimp on it. My Cantonese mom approves!
Jessica Sun
I have been going to Gourmet Inspirations since when they opened. The food always is consistent and delicious, and everything is made fresh to order. Thank you for always making my stomach happy and filling my craving for dim sum!
Linda M.
Everything was so amazing! We got pork pan-fried noodles, a beef chow foon, and sweet and sour fish. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors were right on point. Service is always nice. We will definitely be back soon.
Jannet C.
The absolute very best dim sum we’ve ever had. The pork and chive dumpling is obnoxiously good, like 10/10 good. We’ve been to dim sum places throughout the country, and this place is the best so far! Do yourself a favor and check them out!
Royal Olives
Everything was fresh and made in-house. Diverse selection, including a few options that were new to me. The best in the area, with helpful servers. Will return to try their interesting and extensive dinner menu.
