Our Story
The Founder's Journey
A Deep Love For Food
Dear Dim Sum was born from a lifelong passion for Chinese cuisine — one that started not in a professional kitchen, but around a family table, where steaming bamboo baskets and shared laughter were the heart of every gathering. Our founder carries that same warmth in every decision made for this brand: food is never just food — it is memory, connection, and care.
A New Standard
After years in the food industry, our founder saw a clear gap: communities across the country deserved access to genuinely crafted dim sum — not factory-made, not frozen, not compromised. Dear Dim Sum was built to close that gap. A brand rooted in tradition, driven by quality, and committed to making every customer feel the difference from the very first bite.
Beyond The Usual
Dear Dim Sum is not your usual Chinese restaurant. It is a reimagined culinary experience — where every wrapper is made fresh daily, every filling is seasoned by hand, and every basket is prepared with the same intention: to bring people genuine joy through food that tastes like it was made with love. Because it was.
The Craft Behind The Flavor
Handcrafted Excellence
Every piece that leaves our kitchen begins with two things: premium ingredients and patient hands. We source only the finest shrimp, pork, and aromatics — handpicked daily. Wrappers are rolled fresh each morning, fillings are mixed in-house, and not a single basket is prepared before it's needed. No freezers. No shortcuts. Just craft.
Signature Specialties
From the delicate translucent skin of our hakaw — so thin you can see the filling — to the deeply savory richness of our beef brisket noodles, every dish is a result of precise technique refined over time. Our wok-fried specialties carry that elusive smoky depth, our siu mai is seasoned to exact balance, and our rice bowls are built for genuine satisfaction.
Heart And Soul
There is an old Chinese saying: good food is made with intention. At Dear Dim Sum, every order is treated as if it were going to someone we love. That means fresh daily preparation, honest portioning, and zero compromise — whether you're picking up at our Biñan location or ordering through our online store. The care is always in the basket.
Our Community
A Place To Gather
More than just a restaurant, Dear Dim Sum is where the community comes together — families on Sunday rituals, friends catching up over steaming baskets, students grabbing a warm meal between classes. In Chinese tradition, sharing dim sum is called yum cha: an invitation to slow down and nourish the people you love. That spirit is at the heart of everything we do — dine-in, delivery, or online order.
