Word on the street
What locals are saying
Chef Loong is widely regarded by Charleston locals as the best — and often only serious — dim sum option in the city, praised for fast service, consistent quality, and standout dishes like soup dumplings, Pork Naan bao, Singapore noodles, and scallion pancakes. It occupies an unassuming West Ashley strip-mall spot that regulars say belies the quality inside, earning repeat visits and 'hidden gem' status among the local food community. The one notable criticism is minor logistical quirks (e.g., limited sake supply), and the Post and Courier's food editor gave it a favorable formal review, reinforcing local enthusiasm.
