Sum Sum delivers a relaxed, modern take on Asian comfort food without trying too hard. The menu is built around sharing, with dim sum like shrimp gyoza and crispy pork dumplings sitting comfortably next to fluffy bao filled with tempura shrimp or chicken. Dishes such as dan dan noodles or bibimbap add a bit more depth and warmth. It’s a great place for Asian comfort food.

Fun fact

Sum Sum started as a concept focused on sharing small plates and Asian street-food flavours before opening its doors in Antwerp’s South, and its menu now mixes classic dim sum with dishes like dan dan noodles and bibimbap that reflect broader Asian influences.
