Dim Sum Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Excited to experience dim sum at night! That's the best part about this place. Dim sum anytime. This is one of their newest location. We're so glad we came here. Parking was insane but we got lucky and parked by a nearby lot. We even met the owner Michael. What a nice man! Two of my friends have tried their SF location so they already knew what to order. Lucky me! Everything was mouth watering delicious. The wait outside was not long at all and we came early by 6 pm. There's 2 levels of seatings and I highly suggest to ask for the upper floor seating. Much cooler up there on a warm day/night. The servers were so nice. I definitely remember William. Checked on us often and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We had 7 dim sum selections and there was plenty for the 3 of us. We even had a mini to go box at the end. The price is $$. I can't wait to go back here again.“

“Great customer service! I'm not understand why this place doesn't have almost five stars! They're soup.Dumplings are some of the best.I've had

Their chicken dumplings could use a little bit more seasoning, maybe some oyster sauce, but still very good.Especially for the value.

Thank you for offering the community.Such great value
Especially for the bay area , you can't get this kind of value pretty much anywhere

Only.Side note, wish it was just a tad bit cleaner.The drink case had a lot of dust.Things could be wiped down a little more, but totally get its a lot of work.And it was only one man handling the show“

“A good DoorDash oriented restaurant with decent congee. Generous portion.
Every tableware here is disposal and very cheap. The dingsun are premade and prefrozened.
No wait time typically.
Good place for a smoothing and light cuisine.“

“Great spot for dimsum. Service is super friendly and fast. Everyone was so great. Even though there are no push carts, I actually appreciate it because everything is FRESH and not sitting around for hours. Can't recommend enough. Don't miss this spot“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“Authentic Cantonese dim sum. Very good for the US.“

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

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Takeout only, long line but moved quickly. We went close to when it closed so the options were understandably limited but everything we had was so tasty and so affordable. I was also pleasantly surprised they accepted card with no fees. Would love to come back for lunch maybe and try some of their other dishes!“

“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.“

“I would love to come back here and try more of the menu! Everything was phenomenal and one of a kind. I’ve never seen a menu like this. Great experience having insanely good food and getting to try new things! We went in a group with a mix of vegans and omnivores ordering off the vegan menu and we all loved everything we got. The flavors of the vegan meat were incredible. I’d rate this 5 stars if I could! 11/10 might be one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-01“

“Overall review is that this place is good, but nothing phenomenal. Shanghai dumplings were decent, the shrimp and chive were incredible, and the pork buns were decent. Overall prices are pretty solid, but nothing mind blowing. Worth a stop but don't expect to be blown away.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Amazing food! This place doesn’t get enough love.

The dimsum items taste homemade and not from frozen. This was a delivery order and they came warm and so comforting.

Thai tea with50% sweetness and boba is perfect amount of sweetness and chewy boba is 5-star.

I will come back and try more items.“

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

“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.“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“This place was without a doubt the best food we had during our trip to Cali. The portion sizes are huge! The food tastes amazing. The menu is large, but the 5 things we ordered were all amazing. The only awkward thing was is that it took nearly 40 minutes to get our check. That was a weird situation. However, they gave us these gelatin bunnies after the meal and even those were amazing! My family and I loved this place. If you’re seriously hungry and looking for high quality food, I cannot think of a better place to recommend.“

“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“

“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!“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

“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 Dumplings are amazing!“

“Very good food“

“Great food and good service“

“We had a 7-hour layover at SFO and took the 292 bus out to explore. Finding this absolute gem made our trip! Even though it is primarily a takeout spot, the owner saw me traveling with my two kids and incredibly kindly set up a small table and chairs for us so we could eat fresh. They even shared stories about how they freshly make the dim sum every day. The steamed rice noodle rolls with spareribs were outstanding, fresh, and comforting. Incredible food and even better hospitality—a true highlight of our trip. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful family business!“

“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.“

“Authentic hong kong cafe food in an unassuming spot. We ordered Bitter Melon with Fish Fillet over Rice and Mushroom and Chicken Rice in claypot and both are good. They are cash only with great value to price.

Some of the tea cups/bowls they gave us were not properly cleaned, so check before use.“

“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!“

“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“

“We love the variety of options for vegan dim sum, we ordered 9 dishes. The only dish I did not enjoy was the bao, it is slimey inside, I'll stick to Loving Hut for that dish. I wish the eggless tarts and baked bbq were available, we'd have ordered those too. Only took off a star for service because it took awhile to get our bill and a lot of smoke was coming into the restaurant, we were in the farthest corner away from door but the smoke was still very strong.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“First of all, the food was great. I could tell it was a popular restaurant based on the non-stop delivery pick-ups!
The service was unique. There was only one older gentleman, and a bit of a language barrier. But we were able to easily order and communicate that they were out of the donuts. 😭
But despite that, and the hole-in-the-wall location of it. And the confusion of a another, similarly named restaurant Spices across the street. But we got pointed in the right direction and we were very happy with the quality and flavor of the food.
We had the Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Buns, and scallion pancakes. All of which was delicious.
And the price was phenomenal. Especially given how much prices have gone up over the last couple of years.“

“Absolutely, 10000% recommended. If you’re looking for an authentic dim sum restaurant, skip the others and come straight here. The owner Frankie is wonderful. Customer Service + great food: I’d pay double. I recently surprised a client and Frankie’s team went above & beyond the call of duty to take care of a guest from out of town. The menu was incredible. I’m happy to keep coming back. 10/10 stars. ⭐️ Thank you Frankie & Team!!!“

“Came here with my family and got a solid Chinese meal.

Good:
- Big portion sizes!
- I liked the noodle soup here, it was very tasty
- Reasonable prices
- Ample seating we got a seat in the back and it was more private

Bad
- The place was a bit smelly and dirty
- Hard to get a hold of the waiters

Overall still a solid Chinese place and glad I found it!“

“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.“

“The food is cheap after hours but you need to be direct with what you want. Do not wait or ponder on what you want as it is packed with people and the staff are bombarded.

Count your change afterwards. I just got the mango drink and it's already starting to go bad so double check that before you leave.“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“I've been here three times now, and I always order pretty much the same things. The food is good and the service is great too. It's a bit different on Saturdays compared to Mondays or Tuesdays - on Saturdays we have to order from the circulating carts ourselves, while usually someone comes around to take our orders. But on Saturdays they're busier, so whether you order separately or pay the bill, you'll need to wait a bit longer“

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

“GREAT affordable dim sum, that has very traditional authentic HK-style flavor!
The crisp, snappy texture of their shrimp and pork dumplings are simply UNBELIEVABLE!
Their deep-fried items are also AMAZING!
Be sure to try their sticky rice 'zong' and 'lo mai gai'.
Those leaf-wrapped entrees represent a good solid value if you're dining on a budget.
EXCELLENT service too!
The Chinese folks who work here are all very nice and friendly.
They speak somewhat decent/limited English, but their communication skills are GREAT.
I've seen many foreigners and tourists order food from here with NO problems or hassles. Nothing but positive experiences and smiles!
Prices are pretty fair and reasonable... You get honest-sized food portions for your money, but with INCREDIBLE taste and AWESOME quality.
The only negative here, is that there is NO seating room available; so it's pure 100% TAKE-OUT only.
BTW, it's CA$H only!
My #1 favorite go-to dim sum takeout spot in SF Chinatown!
🤘😁👍“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is the best place for steamed bun in Oakland Chinatown! My family and I have been going here for many years and we have always enjoyed their pork buns, "big" buns (contains egg, chicken, seasoned pork, and Chinese sausage), cabbage & pork buns, and custard buns. For us, their steamed bread products are really what shine here, the bread is fluffy & soft without being too sweet or dry and the fillings are well-seasoned, fresh, and plentiful. Yummy Dim Sum was closed for a while for remodeling and our family had to try other places in Chinatown for steamed buns and all the others were not even close to the quality of this place. After remodeling, their prices were raised a bit (around $1 to $1.50 per item), but their prices are still very affordable and honestly, I don't think any small shops in the Bay Area can survive charging any less than they do at the moment. Furthermore, the shopkeepers are very nice and patient when we go there, which is always a nice plus for to-go shops such as this. Given they are one of the last good steamed bun places left in Oakland, my family & I are more than happy to support them when we can and would highly recommend you give them a try as well!“

“Unexpectedly great. My boyfriend has a set of go-to dim sum places and I am new to the region. I thought I routed us to one of his primary vetted three dim sum places in downtown Oakland, but this place is just outside of dt. When we realized we were not headed to the place he wanted initially, we decided not to reroute and try a new place. We were able to find parking in the lot upon arrival and there was no wait to place our order. This ended up being closer to where we live and more convenient to get to than any of the places in downtown. The sizes and serving quantities were very generous. Pics include a chapstick for reference. Everything was tasty enough to come back and order the other items that we wanted to try but ran out of space for. The bread-y items were so soft and fluffy. The dan tat was sweet like a pastry (how I prefer it) instead of neutral like traditional dan tat.“

“Had a great business lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the menu and how well made all of the dishes were. The dumplings were excellent and the veggies were crisp, seasoned just right and portions generous. Food arrived quickly and was hot and fresh.“
