What Is This? Dim Sum Warriors is a Taiwanese and Singaporean company that teaches English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese through webcomics, interactive quizzes, and doodle videos offered via a subscription plan. If you would like a more in-depth review, please visit the Lah Lah Banana Website. It should be noted that their review includes the Dim Sum Warriors app, which no longer appears to be available. The review provided below is based on the Dim Sum Warriors website.
Audio Webcomics: The stories follow a group of “dim sum” characters and tell silly stories. My child enjoys them so much that she keeps trying to get me to buy the physical books. As shown in the picture below, the “EN” option allows the user to switch between English and Chinese. What I really enjoy is that the audio starts when the word bubbles appear, which helps children read along with the text. The first story is available for free, so you can check it out before deciding whether to pay.
Language Settings: Since I want my child to learn both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, I love how Dim Sum Warriors provides the ability to switch between the two options. You can even remove English altogether to focus purely on Traditional versus Simplified Chinese. I also just discovered that the company is expanding its languages to include Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia! I’m constantly amazed by this company’s creativity, inclusiveness, and innovation.
Word Vocabulary Games: Each webcomic story provides two vocabulary games to test how many words the reader is able to recognize. In the first game, the reader hears a word and must click on the correct word—or, in this example, the correct sheep. In the second game, the reader reads the word and then matches it to the corresponding word in the picture.
Comic Videos: There’s a monthly Bilingual Comic Jam where one artist draws various scenarios suggested by children. As the artist is drawing, two moderators explain the picture or talk about Chinese culture in both English and Chinese. Note that the Chinese is not a direct translation, but is more akin to speaking 80% in Chinese and 20% in English. All past videos are posted online (paid membership only), and members are invited to future live-stream videos. As a mother of a child who loves watching drawing videos on YouTube, this feature is a huge win!
Vocabulary Quizzes: There are also various vocabulary quizzes where a word is stated in Chinese and the player must pick the correct answer from multiple choices. Shown below is a snapshot of the various topics the quizzes cover. My five-year-old child has fun playing these quizzes for 20+ minutes, which in my book is a big win for attention span!
Customer Support: I did have an issue where my membership did not allow me access to the website content, and it took about one month to resolve. However, the customer support team was very friendly and kind, and they even extended my membership without me asking. Overall, great customer service.
Membership Cost: When I last checked (2026), the cost was SGD 11 per month or SGD 89 per year, which gives you access to their stories, past videos, and future livestream videos. Personally, I think this is an amazing deal for the fun, creative, and interactive content your child can receive. I always recommend this website to parents trying to get their children engaged in learning Chinese.
