Below Average "Dim Sum"

Below average ...

We went to Jumbo for dim sum and were not impressed with the quality. For examples, the har gau comes in 3 pieces instead of the traditional 4 pieces. The shrimp rice noodle rolls has only one shrimp per roll and in some cases the shrimp is outside the noodle roll. I would say you can find better dim sum in China town or Quincy.

Extreme disappointment

by nayiak at Citysearch

We were completely disappointed at the food quality of Jumbo Seafood after one of our friends recommended trying it out. The food was mediocre for the best dishes, and many of the other dishes were certainly below average. The environment was decent, but certainly not impressive. Many of the dishes were Americanized and not authentic (they did not even have a real selection of tea for its dim sum hours, and only offered a generic tea that had no taste). The price was higher than most Chinese restaurants in Chinatown, but its food quality and environment did not really justify such difference. I would not recommend any of my friends going there.

• Pros: Decent environment
• Cons: Americanized food with mediocre quality, higher price
