Dim Sum Restaurants near Arcadia, CA

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“The restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable, and you can even watch the staff hand-make dumplings, which adds to the experience. The service was warm, attentive, and efficient, even during a busy meal.

If you’re craving authentic Shanghai breakfast or comfort food, this is definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“Despite the very long wait, me and my family thought the food was very good and I loved how some meals came with sets and desserts. The atmosphere looked fairly new and nice and despite the lack of service, I thought the workers were pretty nice. We should come back one day.“

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“Pretty good dim sum. Better before the pandemic.“

“LATE MAY 2026 UPDATE:

Incredibly underrated and unassuming Dim Sum place in the heart of SGV. I've been here before and every time there's a line outside, due to the sheer quality of the food and the excellent service. I went in a Friday at around 1:30pm and our server (I think his American name was David, or Daniel, not fully sure) was 10/10. He was hustling, taking orders, bussing plates to the tables and even in the midst of this hectic work dynamic, he was at all times a total pleasure to deal with. Shoutout to him! Also, the food is so amazing: some heavy hitters: Shrimp Har Gow, Shrimp Shiu Mai, Beef Rice Roll, Baked BBQ Pork, Spare Ribs Rice, Sticky Rice Wrap. We ate more items but those are the ones that for sure stand out. 10/10, pls go check it out if you haven't yet.

FEB 2024 REVIEW:

This place is fantastic. The amount of traffic and people it moves, even on a rainy Monday at noon, is a testament to how good the food is. Seating is hard to come by, so you might have to wait outside. The menu is super diverse and you're bound to find something that would fit anyone's tastes or preferences. I went with a friend that's originally from 香港 (Hong Kong) so he was the one making recommendations and helping us pick the right dishes. In no particular order, this is what we tried: Shrimp Har Gow; Beef Meat Ball; Sticky Rice Wrap; Beef Rice Roll; Baked BBQ Pork; Egg Yolk Bun; Spare Ribs Rice; Veggie with Shrimp Egg Roll. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The Shrimp Har Gow, Egg Yolk Bun and the Baked BBQ Pork are three things that stood out to me, but that's just because I have a particularly sweet tooth. Everything else was just as good, though. Highly-recommended place if you're looking to foray into authentic Hong Kong food. Parking is a tad difficult in this shopping Plaza, so please keep that in mind (also, this particular restaurant is in the top left corner of the Plaza, almost at the end of it).“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“Prince Dumpling really impressed me. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out fast and fresh. The standout for me was the sky‑high beef cubes—perfectly seasoned, tender, and easily my favorite dish of the night.

The whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu. One tip for anyone visiting: wear long sleeves. The AC runs cold, so you’ll enjoy the meal a lot more if you’re not freezing.

Overall, great food, great service, and a spot worth returning to.“

“Came in for lunch with a couple friends and had a pretty good experience overall. The dim sum selection was larger than I expected, and most of the dishes arrived hot and fresh. The shrimp dumplings were probably my favorite, while a few of the buns were just okay. Service was friendly, though it got a little slow once the place filled up. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and felt clean and welcoming. Prices seemed fair for the amount of food we ordered. I'd definitely come back to try some of the items I missed this time around.“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“my family took me to celebrate father's day to this place . first let me tell you the food is better then din tai fung and cheaper. if you looking to explore another place to eat you must try coming here. the restaurant is small place to seat down we waited 45 minutes to seat but it worth it ..“

“A tremendously cute little hole in the wall dim sum place. As mentioned previously, this is not a big restaurant where food is brought out: you order at the counter and they bring out food piping hot and freshly steamed. That said, each dish was big restaurant quality and they were even nice enough to let us eat at their sole table there. The dumplings were balanced and well seasoned, and the pastries were tasty (not too sweet!) and well baked. Would absolutely go again.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.“

“Another new dim sum place to try!

Slightly different flavors on some classics, but everything was very good. Good value. Everything on the front of the menu is $4.88. The back side is $14 (beef chow fun, etc.)

Sorry. No pics this time. I post next time.“

“If you’re looking for a restaurant with delicious food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service, this is definitely the place to visit! Every dish we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and worth every penny. The staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the overall dining experience is consistently excellent. We always leave with full stomachs, big smiles, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“This is a very small dim sum place, one two table for 4 person, and 2 tables for 2. So maximum only 12 people can dine it. However, the dim sum here is one of the best we have had. Siu mai was rich in flavor and meaty. Stick rice and cheong fun were both top notched. Xiao longbao was juicy too. Due to the small dining area, I imagined it will be difficult at peak hour. Or you just need to take out. But if you do take out, the dim sum may not taste as good. Dilemma. But we were very happy with the food and service.“

“Best roast duck!!! I always thought Sam Woo was the best , but their duck is delicious. Everything was freshly made!!“

“the decor of the style presented as the restaurant is welcoming and inviting which was why my family who frequents this restaurant often with her friends recommended this place to me too“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“Delicious and flavorful dim sum! Portion sizes are huge! They aren't the little tiny servings at the dim sum restaurants.

It's take out only. And cash is preferred but they take credit cards too.

This is an old school mom and pop place and the owners are super gracious and down to earth! Prices are cheap too!

Go support them!“

“Great Pork Dumplings also really like the Beef & Cheese“

“I was looking for somewhere to meet up with a colleague for lunch and CP came highly recommended. My colleague did the ordering. I found the taste and selection of dim sum to be one of the highlights. CP does get noisy. Service is excellent. Restaurant comps underground parking.“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

“From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons.
Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way!
I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!“

“Top Island is a classic gem in Alhambra for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. We came here for dinner and were blown away by the variety and quality. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp & Squid was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the Empress Chicken was incredibly tender with that signature ginger-scallion dipping sauce. We also loved the Beef with Tomato—so savory and comforting! The atmosphere is bustling and traditional, perfect for big family gatherings. Great service and very reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Definitely a go-to spot in the area!“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“This restaurant was a go to place for my mom in the early morning cuz it opened at 8 am. The dim sums was decent but it lacked varieties so choices were limited. Almost all dim sums costed $5.28 per dish except few bbq n special items.

Parking: During weekend around lunch time, it was difficult to find parking nearby the restaurant.“
