overall my favorite dim sum in florida yet! i went here 3 times in the first 6 months i moved here, which is a lot considering i had a lot to explore. the best thing is the baked bbq pork buns. the bread is so soft and there's a a bit of a sweet glaze at the top. delicious. all the dim sum is solid. nothing was bad in my opinion. all the dumplings had great textures, the turnip cake was seared to perfection. i also loved the fried shrimp balls. we came for dinner once and got the lobster, beef chow fun and string beans. that was also delicious. beef chow fun was so soft and flavorful. service was quite brief, but that's expected at chinese restaurants. they are quick to make the food though which is great. the restaurant is simply decorated, and is almost homey to me. overall a solid place for dim sum and classic chinese dishes! it's my go to when craving dim sum.

Food was great, place isn't fancy but feels more like eating at home, the selection of dimsum was great and so was the service

Admittedly the last time I was here was quite a few years ago, however, in my experience this is the best place for dim sum in south Florida. I used to take my great aunts here fairly often and the food was always consistently good, and the prices reasonable, taking into consideration that most people order quite a bit. Definitely worth it. Ambiance is a little diner-esque butttttt who cares when the food is this good.

My friends have been talking about this restaurant for years and the timing worked out to where I was finally able to check it out. We enjoyed an absolute symphony of flavors and textures! We waited about 20 minutes for a table to open up (Saturday morning, Chinese New Year, no less) and were quickly seated in a comfortable booth with plenty of room for the goodies about to be delivered. All of the servers and hostesses were super friendly and tentative. We were given a laminated menu with images of some of their best sellers, along with a paper menu and pencil to make our selections. As this was my first time, I allowed my friends to guide us through this culinary journey and it was well worth it. We ordered shrimp wonton noodle soup, pork and shrimp shumai (top notch with some Worcestershire and chili oil), roast pork buns, egg custard buns, crispy shrimp and mango rolls, fried gold lava buns, stuffed eggplant, chicken udon, black pepper short rib, and massive sesame balls. The hot tea we ordered was very floral and really hot the spot. Honestly, I don't have a single bad thing to say about any of it, I would re-order every dish. It was my first time having the gold lava buns and they were probably the biggest pleasant surprise, since I didn't even know what they were before we ordered, and egg dishes can sometimes be a bit sulphuric - but these were sweet, creamy, and rich, like a dessert. The textures of all of the different items were also very pleasing; the steamed buns delicately soft and squishy, the dumplings and shrimp were firm with nice bite. I definitely look forward to my next visit!

Back at China Pavilion after a while. There was no wait at about 6pm. The good is really good here but service is lacking. My husband got his food (duck) and it was a lot mg time before I received mine. Nevertheless, my shrimp with garlic sauce was scrumptious: Large, fresh shrimp perfectly cooked and plenty of veggies. Worth it to return for this dish!

One of the best dim sum restaurants I've visited in south Florida! Inside is very spacious and clean. Once you're seated, you order off the menu provided (unfortunately, dim sum cart service is not offered here). My favorite item menu is the fried shrimp mango roll! And getting the steamed shrimp & pork shu mai is a must. A drawback is the wait time, every time I've visited there is an extensive wait time (minimum 1hr!) because of how busy this place gets. But the food is delicious, so I'd say visiting is still worth it - just be prepared to wait.

Year after year, China pavilion delivers! Hong Kong/New York style dim sum ordering from a menu note carts here, but they come out fresh fast and delicious. Some of my faves are the Spring roll with pork, barbecued baked pork bun, Siu Mai, shrimp rice paste, eggplant stuffed shrimp, and the fried custard puffs. Service is pretty efficient you have your individual server and a lot of people are bringing out the dim sum items. You can pretty much ask anybody for anything and they'll help you out. I always ask for a hot tea and a soda and they're pretty quick to clean up used plates. It's a lively location especially during dim sum on the weekends. Lots of Chinese families eat there so you know it's pretty authentic. There's gonna be a wait at times on the weekend so best to get there early in the morning if you want to get in and out.

The place was packed. It was Labor Day weekend and that was to be expected. But yet, inside the restaurant everything moved like clock work. A friend of mine, a long time client of the China Pavilion, recommended the dim sum, and literally said that at China Pavilion they were the best. The wait wasn't long despite the many other patrons. My friend was recognized by the staff and that in itself is the greatest sign of great service. I was looking forward to what laid ahead, the food, and when it eventually arrived I wasn't disappointed. My friend ordered a bit of everything and with the rotating table, our party of six tried it all, shared it all and enjoyed it all. If you're in the area and feel like eating dim sum, I highly recommend China Pavilion. The flavors, the ambience, and the service and the quality and authenticity of the food won't disappoint!

Overall 4/5 wound eat again! The wait: My friends and I arrived around 1:00p on a Sunday, and waited for about 15 minutes for a 5 person table. While we waited we were able to pick up a menu and start selecting our options so it really wasn't bad at all. The food: I would say this place is definitely comparable to some of my favorite other dim sum places locally. The food came out exceptionally fast, and every item (except for the taro) came out blazing hot in a good way. We were very impressed with the speed of the food. The fried crispy taro was delicious just not hot. My favorite items were the fried shrimp balls (dipped in their sweet mayo), steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed pork siu mai, steamed chicken feet, and chinese broccoli. I was dissapointed that their "scallion crepe" was not a crepe nor a pancake. It was a curled up pastry with scallions inside. While this was good, it was not what we would expect from a standard scallion crepe/pancake dish. Service: Service wasn't bad, nothing noteworthy. Standard for this type of restaurant. One thing that could have been improved was that one of our menu items that we ordered was out, but we weren't told until we asked at the end of our meal if it was coming. Overall, would definitely come back to visit and recommend to others! I wish there was another location more north!
