    We have been to Fan Dim Sum many times in the past 5 years (off and on due to Covid). The wonton soup is always great; however, for some reason they decided to serve two of us our soup in one big bowl and the third member of our lunch in a separate bowl. A third bowl was finally provided so that we could each have some soup. Not sure what the thought was but I will ask for three separate bowls of soup next time. Dumplings sublime as always and since we reserved, we were seated immediately.

    Fan Dim Sum is always a sure choice ! Their dim sum menu is affordable, diverse, super tasty and filling ! It’s always served in a timely manner, giving you enough time to enjoy and as well keep the food coming ! I also recommend the beef sizzling and the porc XiaLongBao! For desert, do not miss the Chocolate XialongBao!!

    Fan Dim Sum is our go-to place for dumplings and their wonton soup! Handmade by the lovely and very skilled dumpling maker at the front window so they are the freshest ever. They also have very friendly and fast service but not too fast! Also, the restaurant is bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean. Always a plus. I could eat their dumplings all day every day but I understand a varied diet is important.

    My wife and I have eaten twice here over our weeks stay in Barcelona. Lunch and dinner. Both occasions we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Small menus, which means what they do, they do well, very authentic. 100% recommend

    Hearty wholesome home-cooked comfort food that’s delicious and warms the soul. The dumplings are delicately made to perfection and oh so flavourful. The chocolate xiaolongbao is a to-die fro dessert complete with olive oil infusion. Highly recommended for authentic Chinese cuisine that will not disappoint.

    Greeted upon arrival and seated immediately. We had the dim sum menu. We had soup dumplings, fried pork and the shrimp dumplings to start. Each dumpling was perfectly shaped, thin skinned and really filled well. Our main was the wonton soup which deserves an award for best broth ever! Finished with mango moshi. Friendly, prompt service in a pleasant atmosphere— who could ask for more??

    We picked Fan Dim Sum for our Valentine's Day lunch since its consistently served us delicious dumplings, wontons and the world's best wonton soup! The small but well laid out restaurant has a great view of the kitchen and is very airy and light. The noise is minimal so conversation is easy. But the star of FDS is the food. We like the menu del dia because you can have your choice of 2 different dim sum yummies and a curry or their famous wonton soup. We came 10 minutes before our timed reservation and they were gracious and got us seated almost immediately. Dessert was a delicious mochi. The perfect end to a very tasty meal. We had a very happy Valentine's Day!

    Had a fantastic meal! The dumplings are amazing and homemade. Would have loved a little more guidance from the waiter on what to order to give us a varied taste profile between the different kinds. Beef dish was ordered was just ok...just tiny strips of beef and too many onions. Eggplant was also very good, but note that it isn't veggie only...there is some ground meat. Still, very tasty and not heavy as eggplant often is. Mochi was a delightful finish.

    Brought a friend here for her first visit to Fan Dim Sum. We ordered the Dim Sum menu del dia and were not disappointed. The soup dumplings were exquisite. Every bit as good as the dumplings we ate in Shanghai. We then shared the shrimp and pork steam dumplings which were both beautifully wrought and filled with lots of pork and shrimp. Our main was the wonton soup -- like no other wonton soup I've ever had. The broth is probably the highlight - perfectly seasoned and delicious - but the wontons were plentiful and wrapped in paper thin wonton skins and the bok choy perfectly cooked - tender but still with crunch. We finished our lunch with mango and coconut mochis. Just the right sweet end to our terrific lunch. The service, as usual, was timely, unobtrusive and friendly. Suffice it to say, my friend is now a believer in FDS and we can't wait to come back soon. Thanks!!

    Very good dim sum restaurant! The Jialongbao are to die for and the wonton soup is very tasty Excellent service as well. We recommend this restaurant without a doubt!

    Fan Dim Sum is a rare find in Barcelona -- exceptional authentic dim sum in a immaculate environment with superb service. Fresh ingredients made simply but full of flavor. The soup dumplings (aka Shanghai dumplings) are the best we've had outside of Shanghai. The wonton soup broth you want to drink on its own but don't miss those delicious wontons and bok choy. We limit our visits so that it's a special treat but we'll be back soon.

    We enjoyed the food we got and the, as a vegetarian, what I loved were the vegetarian baozi and the chocolate desert. We would definitely go back again.

    The food was absolutely amazing and we tried all the dim sum options and they were delicious! We think you should add yam croquettes and chun fun to your menu. Unfortunately our waiter took a long time to check on us and we were thirsty for a long time!

    We heard about Fan Dim Sum from fans on Facebook and they were not wrong. The shanghai dumplings are as delicious as the those we had in Shanghai! And the shu mai was better than most we had in Hong Kong. We sat outside on a lovely sunny day and had a most delicious lunch. Service was helpful, prompt and very friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better eating experience. Bringing the family back for sure!
