Dim Sum Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“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“

“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.“

“Shrimp noodle roll - excellent
Glutinous rice & chicken dumpling - excellent
Crispy shrimp & meat tofu skin roll - good, would have been excellent if it's a tad saltier
Siumai - good but not outstanding
House special pan fried noodle - good with premium proteins
Dry-fried string bean - ok, a bit overcooked
Coffee-glazed baby back pork ribs - not good, the sauce was ok but the ribs had very little meat and not crispy enough on the outside. Koi Palace makes a much better version.

The prices were on the expensive side for dim sum. Service was excellent. Waiting to get into the (only) restroom required lots of shuffling to make ways for staff going in/out of the kitchen and cashier's stand.“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“Absolutely amazing experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm and cozy. I recommend the Peking duck and barbecue pork buns, and you can't go wrong with their tea selection either. For four people we were left satisfied with around 7 of their a la carte bun selections.“

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

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Get the cilantro shrimp dumplings - so good!
Shrimp dumpling (har gao) & pork shumai were good. Not the best I’ve had but still very good, good size, and tasty.
The chive shrimp dumpling was good but not my favorite. The skin was a little thicker than what I liked.
Shrimp rice noodle roll was decent - not as thin as i would have liked.
Cash only. They charge sales tax on top.
There’s only 1 table to sit for 2 people. Highly recommend to grab and go.“

“Great prices, the food you are looking for in Chinatown at a face paced take away only location. Plan for a line, it does move pretty quickly. Gives you time to figure out what you want to order before you get up to the counter. Parking is almost non existing so plan accordingly.“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“We have been here multiple times and always walk away full and happy, it’s never a miss. The extensive vegan menu is really well done and the servers are always so kind and welcoming. Shout out to Carol for recommending a few limited time dishes to try and something special for my girlfriend’s birthday .“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Great food and good service“

“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“

“Great place for dim sum and good service“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“Very good food“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great restaurant serving delicious comfort food of the days growing-up in a Chinese home near a Chinatown. I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service of the days gone-by. I enjoyed the clay-pot rice with chicken and the clay-pot rice with meat. They are not fancy dishes but it does remind me of days my grandfather made the same dishes. The pot of Oolong tea made the meal a lunch. The amount of food served was great — the leftover was enought for dinner for the both of us. Price was good but it is cash only. Looking forward to returning during the next trip to Chinatown San Francisco.“

“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“

“Miła obsługa i bardzo smacznie“

“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.“

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

“Ordered takeout at this place and got the General chicken and potstickers. I wasn't disappointed at all. The chicken was perfectly cooked and coated with a delicious sauce, the potstickers were absolutely delectable and were cooked to perfection, and the price for it was absolutely reasonable despite the place being in one of the most expensive cities to live in California. My order was also ready in a short amount of time. Overall, I'm satisfied and happy with the food and experience I had from ordering here. I definitely recommend this place.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place deserve higher scores. I tried a neighboring shop 2 doors down that was well regarded on the internet but the food was surprisingly lackluster. I decided to get a few items from this shop and the dim sum here tasted way better than the other higher-rated shop....“

“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“

“The older gentleman that took out order was absolutely precious! Im not sure if hes the owner or not but he was such a joy to talk to! He explained the specials and was very patient with me be indecisive on all the amazing options, he made we want to try everything! Definitely will be coming again next time im in san fran! And the food was delicious too!!!“

“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.“

“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!
🤘😁👍“

“Big menu. Rice clay pot with lots of choices are a house specialty, and the chicken and mushroom was superb! Beef chow fun had lots of onions and delicious flavor. One of those hole in the wall places that puts out excellent cuisine.
Enjoy!“
