Dim sum is a central reason people come to Ha Long Bay Restaurant. Reviews mention carts moving through the dining room with selections to choose from, alongside steamed items and other small plates. The dishes customers describe include har gow, shumai, pork dumplings, pot stickers, ginger pork dumplings, and fried shrimp balls. For buns, reviewers call out the baked barbecue pork bun and beef bun. Other reported favorites include steamed pork with ginger, beef short ribs, and egg rolls. The assortment makes it easy for a table to try several flavors and textures together, whether guests are returning for a familiar order or deciding what to sample next.

The menu also reflects the Chinese and Vietnamese offerings noted by diners. One review mentions banh xeo alongside dim sum favorites, making the restaurant worth considering for guests who want more than one kind of dish at lunch. The menu is described as extensive, so visitors may find choices beyond the items they already know. Reviews are not unanimous about every plate: one diner found the beef banh cuon chewy, while others praised the freshness and flavor of the dishes they ordered. That mix of specific feedback can help guests arrive with realistic expectations and choose according to their own tastes.
