Ways to make a meal.

Siu mai, ribs and chicken feet

Use the Commercial branch's Pork Siu Mai(6) as the dumpling anchor, then add black-bean spare ribs or chicken feet. Its separate phone and address prevent a mix-up with Lancaster's Family Dish 4.

Chen’s Family Dish Six Wok & Bar

Lanzhou or zhajiang noodles

Choose Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup or the literal Bejing Zhajiang Noodle with ground pork and vegetables. Add the eight-piece pot-sticker option if useful, and remember the operator's Tuesday closure.

Chopstick Brothers Asian Kitchen

Tofu and vegetables

Start with Salt & Pepper Tofu or Bean-Curd “ToFu” from the Meatless section, and choose fried rice or steamed rice. Preserve the displayed starting-price pluses and confirm sauces, preparation and any Monday hours by phone.

Lum-Yuen Restaurant

Different kitchens, different meals.

A little more clarity.

Where can I plan a dumpling or dim sum meal in Salem?

Chen's Family Dish Six names Pork Siu Mai(6), black-bean spare ribs and chicken feet. Family Dish 4 names the same six-piece siu mai alongside its chicken-and-pickle Dan Dan noodles. Hong Kong Garden explicitly labels its ten-piece pork dumplings 小笼包; the Chen menus' English-only Shanghai dumplings do not establish that same format.

Which menu offers a tofu or vegetable-focused meal?

Lum-Yuen's Meatless section names Salt & Pepper Tofu, Bean-Curd “ToFu” and Vegetable Combination. Golden Crown lists Chinese Vegetable Deluxe in a Vegetarian section. These are menu names rather than diet guarantees: that same Golden Crown section includes tofu with oyster sauce, and its separate Mao Pao Tofu description contains minced beef.

Which prices and counts were checked?

The six online-menu branches have operator-linked online ordering prices; Golden Crown's prices come from its posted menu images. Lum-Yuen's three selected prices have + starting markers. Six, ten or eight pieces appear only where the exact item label states a count. Prices and sources were checked 2026-10-09; options, fees and tax can change a final total.

Which operator lists delivery?

Hong Kong Garden's operator-linked page advertises a five-mile radius, $10 minimum and $7.98 fee, with explicit third-party delivery fulfillment. The five checked MealKeyway menus display pickup and do not list delivery; Golden Crown's posted menu page does not list it either. Confirm availability and address eligibility directly before relying on delivery.

Are all seven branches in the same part of Salem?

No. The operator addresses span Commercial Street, Lancaster Drive, 12th Street, Portland Road and Liberty Street. All seven use Salem postal addresses; this guide does not use those postal labels to prove municipal boundaries. Check the exact address and current hours, including Gold Dragon's conflicting homepage and Friday ordering cutoff.
