Very pretty cherrie blossoms separated the two section. Very clean, and so much simple but beautiful. The food is Amazing 🥰💪. I was surprised that the quality of the brunch menu was just as good as the ala cart menu. Usually “all you can eat” quality is a bit off, but this was the same.”

Limited AYCE

The all-you-can-eat menu does not include as much of the a la carte selection as some diners would like.

High prices

Several diners felt the portions or flavour did not always justify the higher-end pricing, especially when ordering a la carte.

The Bottom Line

Ying Ji Dim Sum is a Downtown Dubai restaurant for Cantonese-style dim sum and hand-pulled noodles. The most useful orders to know are shrimp har gow, xiao long bao, braised beef noodle soup and black truffle chicken and shrimp siu mai. The beef noodles have been praised for tender beef, while the har gow is often described as fresh and generously filled.

Weekend brunches are a major draw when available. Reviews describe an unlimited format with roughly 25 to 30 dishes, desserts and tea, but the offering has changed over time, so confirm the current deal before booking. Service is usually friendly and attentive, though one brunch ran slowly enough that dishes were still missing near the two-hour limit.

This is not a bargain stop: a la carte prices are described as high, and some diners felt portions did not match the cost. The restaurant can also be awkward to find from inside Dubai Mall. Cinema parking and the Chinatown route are the clearest navigation tip.

It is a relatively small venue, so reserve ahead for weekends, order carefully to avoid leftovers and consider coming with a group to share more dishes.
