Mount Pleasant is about to get a whole lot closer to one of Charleston’s favorite dim sum destinations.
The team behind Chef Loong Dim Sum & Soup Dumplings in West Ashley is preparing to open Loong Yan, a new dim sum restaurant at 341 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard in Mount Pleasant, in the former White Duck Taco Shop space.
According to public notice information and details shared by the restaurant team, owners Emely Yan and Yupeng Lin are planning a restaurant with more than 150 seats, bringing many of Chef Loong’s popular offerings across the Cooper River.
The menu is expected to feature hand-rolled dumplings, noodles, scallion pancakes, bao and other dim sum favorites. One particularly fun feature planned for the new restaurant is a glass viewing area, allowing diners to watch dumplings being made.
The opening is currently being targeted for within the next month, giving Mount Pleasant diners a new option for soup dumplings and freshly prepared dim sum.
For fans who have been making the trip to West Ashley, Loong Yan could make that craving considerably easier to satisfy.
