This Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant is busy with locals. We loved the carts going around with dim sum, steamed rice, fumplings and more. Our wait person served us water and Beer and oatiently waited for us to order. We received a few items but my soup never arrived . They had run out of green tea and we tried a delicious getanium tea.
The fish aquarium is a great place fir kids to sit and be entertained as well as for people waiting for a table on this busy Sunday
Accessible restroom with 4ftx4 ft space Accessible entry with push door. Free van accessible parking in front with curb cuts

The dim sum was decent but nothing special. I noticed the staff placed the dim sum trays on a dining room table before putting them in the cart, so the food wasn’t really hot, just slightly warm. Most dishes were a bit greasy, and the spare ribs were quite fatty. I think It’s okay for a quick meal.

We wish we didn’t choose this one.
The greeter will not be too kind unless you speak Vietnamese but the waiter is really helpful.
The dim sum is available all day and not fresh but not too bad.
Eggplant was the best of the night. It actually tasted like how it should.
The walnut scallop my sis ordered was a battered mess.
Mistake on our part for ordering steam fish from a non-Cantonese house.

Not many choices for Dim Sum in the area but luckily this place is pretty good. They just need to up the game a little to be greatest. Sticky rice in lotus leaf is good but the portion is tiny. The Har Gou lacks flavor. The Beef Chow Fun was really good.

This review is strictly covering our dim sum experience at Ha Long Bay. I guess I will be going against the grain here but let me be one of the few to advise against being fooled by the 3.7 stars (if you subscribe to the “3-star Asian restaurant theory,” this would be an accurate reflection of that). Ha Long Bay is a great restaurant for dim sum whether you’re new to the dim sum culture or an experienced connoisseur via birth-right indoctrination.
The restaurant sits off of 34th Street in St. Petersburg which sees a decent amount of traffic throughout the day. There is a two-row lot that sits in front of the entire plaza which is only one directional; the entry to this actually further up along the plaza. The parking immediately in front of the restaurant can get pretty full, however the rest of the plaza is fairly vacated for this time of day – so I definitely recommend parking up in this area if you identify that the aforementioned area being fully occupied if you don’t want to come back around into the parking lot.
There are several large tables that can accommodate big parties (we came with a group of 12 [7 adults and 5 kids] and were seated comfortably at one of their large round tables with a lazy-susan/turntable). There were also smaller round tables and booths throughout. We arrived around 1015 and didn’t have to wait like we usually do with the dim sum restaurants in the Northeast. By 1100 the dim sum patrons were coming in droves and the dim sum service was in full swing. Despite the amount of patrons, the restaurant maintained a good rotation of their tables which mitigated any sort of wait time.
There is a pink service slip that sits at your table to account for the various dim sum trays ordered a la carte (literally). The aunties and young gentlemen do a great job bringing around the carts, so we didn’t find ourselves needing to place in any special orders through the servers. The restaurant was also incredibly clean when it came to their silverware and dishes.
Ha Long Bay also exceeded expectations when it came to the flavor of their dim sum. The flavors of the dishes were on par with the dim sum that you find in NYC/Jersey. All the trays appeared fresh and even came with a spicy kick to their traditional dishes. Additional spicy condiments and chili oils were also available at the table so you don’t have to go through the trouble of flagging down a server to get some.
Overall, Ha Long Bay is a great restaurant – and if you’re looking for dim sum in the St. Pete/Clearwater area this is it!

So many options, so many choices! This place was a solid 8/10 for me. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. The most stand out items to me were the pork dumplings, crab shrimp dumpling and the sticky rice wrapped in leaf. Those flavors danced on my tongue. I was disappointed they were out of plum wine and ended up not getting any cocktails. Overall, it was good. I want to go back to try the roast duck, so see you soon!

*Hands down the best dim sum in the Tampa Bay area!
This place stands out as the only dim sum restaurant in the area that still offers the traditional push cart service—an authentic touch that really elevates the experience. There’s something nostalgic and fun about seeing the different dishes roll by and picking what looks good in the moment.
We’ve tried Yummy House and several other dim sum spots nearby, but none of them come close. We always find ourselves coming back here for the quality, consistency, and atmosphere. The food is fresh, flavorful, and served hot, with a wide variety of classic dim sum favorites to choose from.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it a great value as well. If you’re craving real dim sum in Tampa Bay, this is the place to go.

I have been a regular and have seen this place go from one of my favorites to now a disappointment. Prices way too high for now mediocre, greasy food. Decor is nothing special, and many workers seem uninterested in helping even when the restaurant has few customers. But, there are some workers that do excellent service. Food service is prompt, but food now has become either room-temp – making me question the freshness – or sometimes undercooked. Raising prices may be a necessity to survive in this economy, but food quality has noticeably suffered due to reasons unknown to me

My experience was a mixed bag. I was initially thrilled about the dumplings, and they certainly delivered on taste, especially with the spicy chili oil. However, during our weekday lunch, my excitement waned when a cockroach appeared from under my bench seat. Despite my husband’s somewhat nonchalant response to lipstick on his glass, the presence of the roach was a deal-breaker for me. The menu looked enticing, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning. Even if they improve their standards, I can’t shake off the memory of the bug.
