Dimsum Break Nutrition Info
Does Dimsum Break publish nutrition info?
No, it does not. We checked the chain’s site and public listings and found no nutrition table, no calorie counts, and no allergen sheet. That is normal for a Cebu-born fast-casual chain, but it means any site that prints exact Dimsum Break calories is guessing. This guide guesses openly instead. Figures come from generic nutrition databases for the same dish types, and each table below says “estimate” for a reason.
One more honest note: portion sizes differ by branch and by cook, so treat every range here as a ballpark. If you have diabetes, a shellfish allergy, or a strict sodium limit, ask the branch staff about ingredients before you order. Soy sauce, chili garlic, and fried coatings are where most of the sodium and fat hide.
How light are the steamed items?
Steamed dim sum is the lightest corner of this menu, and it is also the part Dimsum Break is known for. A single pork siomai piece runs about 55 to 70 calories in generic databases, so a 3-piece serving lands around 165 to 210 calories. That is a snack, not a meal, which is why most people pair it with rice or noodles.
| Steamed item | Generic estimate per serving | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Shaomai (3 pieces) | 165 to 210 kcal | Pork and shrimp filling, thin wrapper |
| Mushroom Shaomai (3 pieces) | 150 to 200 kcal | Mushroom adds fiber, similar wrapper |
| Spicy Shaomai (3 pieces) | 170 to 220 kcal | Chili oil adds a little fat |
| Chicken Feet | 150 to 200 kcal | Collagen-rich, watch the sauce sodium |
| Steamed Fish | 150 to 220 kcal | Lean protein, one of the lighter mains |
| Vegetable Dumplings | 120 to 180 kcal | Lightest steamed pick on the menu |
All figures above are generic estimates for similar dishes, not official Dimsum Break nutrition data.
Steamed picks first
If you want the lightest meal possible, start here. Vegetable Dumplings, Steamed Fish, and plain Shaomai give you protein and flavor without a fryer in sight. Add Cucumber Salad or Garlic Vegetables on the side and you get crunch and volume for very few calories.
What about the fried items?
Fried dim sum tastes great, and it costs more calories. A single fried spring roll runs about 70 calories in generic data, and richer fried pieces like shrimp toast and crab pincers run higher because of the breading and oil they soak up. Nothing here is a diet disaster in a small share, but a full plate of fried items adds up fast.
| Fried item | Generic estimate per serving | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Spring Rolls | 200 to 280 kcal | About 70 kcal per roll, serving varies |
| Vegetable Spring Rolls | 180 to 250 kcal | Lighter filling, still fried |
| Fried Wanton | 200 to 300 kcal | Crisp wrapper, oily finish |
| Garlic Pork | 280 to 380 kcal | Pork plus frying oil |
| Shrimp Toast | 250 to 350 kcal | Bread base adds carbs and fat |
| Crab Pincers | 220 to 320 kcal | Crab meat, breaded and fried |
| Sweet and Sour Pork | 300 to 400 kcal | Sugar in the sauce pushes calories up |
All figures above are generic estimates for similar dishes, not official Dimsum Break nutrition data.
Fried picks, in small shares
The trick is sharing. Order one fried plate for the table, one steamed plate each, and a salad. You still get the crunch you came for, but the fried food stays a side act instead of the whole meal. Skip the extra sweet dip if you can, since sweet sauces add sugar without filling you up.
What about rice and noodles?
Rice pots and noodles are the filling part of the meal, and they carry the most carbs. A serving of steamed fried rice is roughly 450 to 550 calories as a generic estimate, and the spicy version runs similar or a touch higher with chili oil. Noodle soups like Lomi and Wanton Noodle Soup land around 350 to 500 calories, with the broth adding a lot of sodium. None of this makes them bad choices. It just means one rice pot plus two dim sum plates is already a full meal for most people.
| Rice or noodle item | Generic estimate per serving | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steamed Fried Rice | 450 to 550 kcal | Biggest carb load on the menu |
| Spicy Steamed Fried Rice | 470 to 570 kcal | Chili oil adds a little fat |
| Steamed Chicken Rice | 480 to 580 kcal | Chicken and sauce over rice |
| Lomi | 350 to 480 kcal | Thick soup, high sodium |
| Wanton Noodle Soup | 350 to 470 kcal | Lighter than fried rice, still salty |
| Oriental Soy Noodles with Shaomai | 450 to 580 kcal | Noodles plus dumplings, a heavy combo |
All figures above are generic estimates for similar dishes, not official Dimsum Break nutrition data.
How do I build a lighter order?
Keep it simple. Pick one steamed dim sum, one salad or vegetable side, and either a small rice pot or a noodle soup, not both. Drink water or iced tea without added sugar instead of soda. Save fried items and sweet desserts like Buchi and Ube Xie Ping for sharing, and you will walk out full without blowing past a normal lunch.
Lightest combo
Vegetable Dumplings plus Cucumber Salad plus Iced Tea. Roughly 300 to 450 calories as a generic estimate, light and fresh.
Balanced combo
Shaomai plus Garlic Vegetables plus a small Steamed Fried Rice. Filling, with steamed protein up front.
Weekend treat combo
Crab Pincers plus Spring Rolls plus Buchi for dessert. Enjoy it, share it, and call it a treat day.
Allergen heads-up: most dim sum here contains wheat (wrappers), soy, and often shellfish. Pork is in most shaomai and shaopao fillings, so Muslim diners and vegetarians should confirm fillings with staff before ordering.
Dimsum Break nutrition FAQs
Does Dimsum Break publish official calories?
No. As of this writing, the chain publishes no official nutrition table, so all figures in this guide are generic estimates for similar dishes.
What is the lowest calorie Dimsum Break item?
Among regular items, the salads and Vegetable Dumplings look lightest. Cucumber Salad and Radish Salad are mostly vegetables, and steamed vegetable dumplings run about 120 to 180 calories per serving as a generic estimate.
Is steamed dim sum healthier than fried dim sum?
Yes, in general. Steaming adds no oil, so steamed siomai and fish carry fewer calories than breaded, fried pieces. The gap gets bigger once dipping sauces and sweet glazes join in.
Is Dimsum Break food high in sodium?
Probably yes, like most Chinese fast-casual food. Soy sauce, chili garlic, soup broths, and cured pork fillings all add sodium. If sodium matters to you, go easy on extra sauce and soup broth.
