In a nut shell, dim sum are dumplings and other steamed delicacies that are served in tea houses or other eateries.
In the US, if you visit a large enough city that has a decent Chinese population, you can find dim sum houses or restaurants that will serve this food on the weekends as a brunch special.
The joy of dim sum is having a never ending train of carts come to your table, and being able to try something new every time. Growing up in San Francisco, it was always a treat to visit the tea houses and try some great fun food!
