About Yimin Dim Sum House
Yimin Dim Sum House is a Cantonese and Sichuan restaurant in Ottawa's Chinatown, located on Somerset Street West. The kitchen focuses on hand-made dim sum, served all day rather than only during traditional brunch hours.
Unlike cart-style dim sum service, Yimin takes orders directly from the menu, so each dish is prepared to order. The late-night hours make it one of the few places in Ottawa where you can have dim sum well into the evening.
