Ocean Island Restaurant

Great dim sum to go with Chinese BBQ options. There is no place to sit so strictly to go only, utensils and napkins are not provided. Lots of steam dim sum and fried dim sum or bakes pastries options, you can see the vast options behind the glass display. Many non Chinese speaking patrons such as Filipino, Indonesian, Mexican, Caucasian and etc... simply point to choose items that they want and they shall receive. They might be a line out the door but it moves fast like a well oil machine, so don't be discouraged. The Chinese BBQ is a lot better compared to Ranch99. The food is actually surprisingly good! Some of the items taste a lot better than dim sum from Capitol or even NBC seafood. It is located right next to GW supermarket. Parking can be tricky on the weekends. This place is always busy for a very good reason, worth getting in line.

Ocean Island dim sum offers the same products as any other dim sum place that offer push carts except less staff means the more you can save on the overall price. With that being said if you just want dim sum without the white cloth table setting and tea service then this is the place for you. You walk towards the back, look at the menu, on the bottom left of the pictured item you will see A or B. on the top right in green you will see the price for A and B… decide what you want, when its your turn they will let you know. If you are taking to go then come anytime but if you want good dim sum and a table remember early bird gets the worm!! (pssst.. 3 tables only at this restaurant) If you don’t know what to get, this is what you should try.. 24. Pan fried leek dumpling 29. Pork and shrimp sweet rice sticky dumpling 30. Sesame ball 1.
