Dim Sum Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“i always come to eat their steamed chicken dumpling which is honestly a comfort food for me at this point. Absolutely delicious and healthy for me especially as someone with a sensitive stomach. also the guy running the shop is very sweet and amazing service.“

“I think the broth could be a little richer, but overall, there was plenty of meat and it was very satisfying. I know this dish is supposed to be light, but I believe the broth could be simmered longer to develop a more flavorful aroma.

Another point is that the fried dough sticks were quite tasty but could easily become overwhelming; if I tried it again, I would try the shrimp rice rolls instead.

The restaurant is easy to find, cool, and clean.“

“hk lounge bistro is hands down my favorite hk style cantonese restaurant. you can't beat the freshness and flavors of the food, and the service is superb. everyone is so nice and i love seeing the same team each time we dine here. it's a sf treasure!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“The dim sum at this place was good overall, but not great. Our favorite item was the shrimp dumpling. We also liked the secret garden atmosphere of the restaurant. We walked past the restaurant twice and thought maybe it had moved. Even when we found the door, we thought the space had been abandoned. To our surprise, when we walked through the door, we were greeted by an expansive interior. From the street, you would never know there was such a large restaurant inside. The service was helpful and efficient.“

“The food was flavourful and the texture was just right. We ordered the Peking duck and soy chicken. Our kids loved the chicken with a side of steamed rice. The chef enjoys strong flavours and skillfully cut the chicken like butter in front of our table. The atmosphere is casual with an Asian-fusion trendy vibe.“

“We always know DELICIOUS dim sum will have FRESH made dim sum. We take it to go. My favorite is the shrimp dumpling but we love everything. It's probably easier and quicker if you know what you want. I take screenshots😊 ENJOY!!!“

“Try it all. Everything was delicious and very affordable 😋 I sampled 7 different kinds of dim sum, a BBQ bun and the egg tarts for $18. I was a little overwhelmed when I first looked at the extensive menu, but the lovely lady at the counter was very patient with me😊. She gathered my goodies into little clam boxes as I called out the numbers of the tasty looking dishes and pointed at the beautiful buns. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get more.“

“Came to see Motley Crue concert and stopped for lunch to spend time with my Wife. The dim sum and shumau were very delicate and wonderfully prepared. Every bite of our meal was delicious and perfectly prepared.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Good assortment of house made dim
Sum. I had egg rolls and sticky rice in lotus leaf, a few times there. Easy to order at the counter, short wait for food , in a clean environment, with limited amount of tables, inside/outside
Friendly staff. Two blocks from the Alameda Farmers Market.“

“They are somehow fused with Sassy Vegan, and the food was incredible!! Very authentic and delicious. Any vegan in San Francisco should come here!! Get the Sesame Buns - you will not regret it! Also: ask the waitress about what they'd recommend, she pointed us to some amazing options and it was a 10/10.“

“A relax old school dim sum place to enjoy sumptuous good dim sum. A favourite place for the senior regular. They even helped themself to refill the tea. A friendly place if u are familiar with old sch dim sum culture.
Food was big in portion and best of all, they don't charge tax which is very very rare in US.
Service was good by the old lady even though they are busy.
This will be my regular dim sum store whenever I visit San Francisco.“

“Great service and some of the best Chinese food I have had. Everything tasted very fresh. The vegetables had a good crunch and the dimsum was outstanding. The siumai was large and the chicken feet had great umami. The sweet and sour pork had really good flavor, texture, and crunch.

The beef chow fun came in a big portion. The tofu beef was amazing. The kung pao chicken had lots of peanuts which made it extra tasty. The beef spareribs were huge with a crispy outside and a tender inside and they were seasoned really well.

The service was great from start to finish. For the first time ever in a Chinese restaurant we did not have any take home food because we devoured everything.“

“I came just after lunchtime, craving dim sum. Got this box of crystal shrimp dumplings and chive dumplings. $14.20 for 12 dumplings

Very soft with the right amount of chewiness. Served warm. Wasn’t too hungry but needed something for later as well.

Lady serving me didn’t speak much English but still managed to understand me and was nice.

Several tables but I took to-go for eating at nearby parks.

Would go again to try more!“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“

“A very locals option for carry out dimsum — a selection not as extensive as other Cantonese bakeries on San Bruno Avenue, but good quality. Charsiu bao (BBQ pork buns) are meaty (not fatty), getting the more-savory-to-sweet proportions just right.“

“So delicious. Had the pork sheng jian bao, chili oil wonton and Chinese broccoli. Pork sheng jian baos were amazing, the soup was delicious, and the crispy bottom was a nice touch to the soup dumpling, something i don't see often. Chili oil wonton were delicious as well. Service was timely and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

no wait on a Monday night right at opening time 5pm for dinner“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“Authentic dim sum restaurant. We dine in and had some Shuman, shrimp rice noodle roll, and Custard bun. Food was great except the rice noodle roll was too much noodle and not enough shrimp. We ended up getting some more buns and dim sum togo.“

“Great food and good service“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Great food not expensive !“

“We went on April 2nd 2025 a “Friendship Day.” A group of friends we enjoy the food and Ms. Ying owner came and greeted us with delicious oranges she bought next store for us to enjoy come back again she said. I said surely I’ll recommend you guys“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Very good food“

“Delicious food and great dinner service! I want to try every dish on the menu. Everything is seasoned to perfection and the price is right. I loved the salted pepper ribs and honey walnut shrimp. Had a great time and looking forward to trying their dim sum!“

“Every time we plan to go to San Francisco for a trip, my dad gets so excited about having a meal at this place because of some really good Chinese food in San Francisco. This is my dad’s cherry on top place in the city.“

“Great steamed chicken dumplings!!!“

“Excellent choice for local, cheap dim sum in the Chinatown area of SF. You will see people ordering in bulk from here as they are also providers for other restaurants in the area.

There is seating outside with the shed they built. Pieces of dimsum or buns are cheap and ten dollars will get you full for a few hours of walking and exploring the city! Enjoy this hidden gem!“

“Perfect place to grab satiating lunch and dinner when on-the-go AND on-a-budget. Discovered this place on a trip and have been coming back ever since. Communication can be quite tricky but you can also point out what you want and they’re very generous with their portions. The food is really good from the fried chicken/pork to the rice, noodles, vegetable stir fry, shrimp, etc. The lines can be long during lunch rush but they work to get you in & out as quickly as possible“

“At 10am on a Saturday morning, this place is PACKED and you actually have to wait. The claypot rice here is excellent…crispy, fragrant and beautifully cooked.

I would recommend getting vegetable soup to help wash things down. We got the pea sprouts (上湯豆苗) and the broth was clean and flavorful without being too salty.

Probably one of the most authentic and affordable Toisan spots in the area. The boss lady speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and Taishanese. Cash only and parking is difficult in the area.“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“I LOVED this place! Cheap, affordable, but most importantly delicious good ol’ SF Chinatown dim
sum. I ordered the shrimp dumplings, pork/chive dumplings, pork buns, shu mai, and rice rolls. Got all of this for under $20, and even cheaper since I split it with a friend. I even had more to have for breakfast later in the week. Will absolutely be back!“

“Locale giapponese, menù pure. Porzioni americane, molto abbondanti. Servizio veloce. Prezzi molto contenuti. Bene arredato, con un cortiletto attrezzato a giardino tzen. Carino!“

“Came in here for the first time during my lunch break and loved every bite!

The service was prompt from taking my order to get my food.

Also, never had a robot bring my meal to me before. That was an interesting experience“

“Food was amazing! It felt very authentic and just as flavorful as non-plant based dimsum. I would say this is up there as one of the best vegan places in SF. Pretty good value for the price as well, the portion sizes for the plated dishes are very large. The staff were very friendly and service was great!“

“Great food, terrible service.

The waiter Henry was mean from the get go, every time we asked something he responded in a rude manner.

This was after a game, so it’s unacceptable the wey he treated us as costumers and game-goers.

Would come back, but avoiding being in Henry’s service.“

“This place changed my life. Earlier in the day we walked by this restaurant (we had already eaten a full dinner), but the nicest man said he would stay open for us if we wanted to do some shopping before coming back. He was so enthusiastic that we picked up 3 other members from our group and came back just for the owner to convince us to get the “all you can eat” food service for a flat rate charge. Throughout the meal he kept bringing us dishes at a speedy rate. Some of the dishes we didn’t even order just so we could try them (at no additional cost). I don’t know if I have ever had such a great experience at a restaurant in San Francisco. Everyone should come here, even if it’s just for the experience“

“I had an amazing experience at Amazing Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a comfortable setting that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. It truly has that authentic Chinese restaurant vibe simple, cozy, and focused on great food.

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and fresh. You can tell they really care about their customers.

The food was absolutely delicious. The cast iron beef was the highlight served sizzling hot, tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was packed with rich, savory flavor. The eggplant dish was just as impressive — soft, tasty, and cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce that pairs perfectly with rice.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, Amazing Kitchen is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“A bit of a hole in the wall restaurant serving Chinese food with an emphasis on noodles. I had the bbq pork bun and tan tan mien, both of which were really fresh and flavourful. Prices are pretty standard and the portions are pretty big for the price. The place was completely empty when I went there during lunchtime on a weekday so service was quite fast. There was one guy tending to the front of the store and he was polite and attentive. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“This is my new go-to dim sum restaurant in the east bay! The dining room is spacious with tall ceilings, natural light, and simply elegant decor. All of my favorite dishes were on the menu and the hot, fresh food arrived quickly. The whole restaurant smelled delicious! I left feeling so lucky to have found this place, and hope to return soon!“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“We came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty. The food was surprisingly good. We didn't get the eel claypot, but the basic dishes like the BBQ Pork Rice Rolls, Fried Dumplings, Sticky Rice, Chicken Feet, and Mongolian Beef Over Rice.

Everything seemed fresh and service was prompt.“
