Love their shu mai and har gow. Love how they’re big and satisfying. Really big fan of their fried sesame balls with red beans too. This place quickly became a favorite place of mine.

One may not think a takeout dimsum restaurant in a plaza next to Safeway in Brentwood is worth raving about, but boy are they wrong! This place deserves ALL the praise. The prices are affordable, dimsum items are huge, and the quality is no different if not better than some of the dimsum restaurants I've been to. I don't think there's anything on their menu I have not thoroughly enjoyed. Some honorable mentions include their lava buns, siumai, lotus wrapped sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, pineapple buns, pork buns, and don't sleep in their fragrant chili oil. I always forget to take pictures before I finish the food but look at the size of their chicken XXL bun. This thing is the size of my whole hand! Phone for scale. We don't live close to Brentwood but we find reasons to go out there to visit Dimsum Basket 🥰

Many items on the list were not available until people waited on line and finally ready to order. Was this some kind of strategy 🫣👎

We've been here several times now. Not much 'atmosphere'; it's a take-out asian food place. The food we've ordered so far (and that means most of the dim sum menu) has been darn good. The service is also great. Be ready to scan the menu and fill out your order card; cards and pencils on a lean-to table near the display. Plan for few extra minutes on your first visit to learn the system. It's worth it! and the staff is super good about helping you out. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

It was GREAT! The buns were especially fluffy, pretty and the matcha lava bun was exceptionally runny and flavorful. The sticky rice lotus leaf wrap was also a delightful experience. Not to mention, the Hong Kong style milk tea was amazing. I would definitely go back!

Given its first actual dim sum place in brentwood, there is a lot of good reviews about it.
I tried here few times and food is average, if you want real dim sum, maybe san francisco, south bay are better bets. the closest is koi palace in dublin.
The skin of shrimp dumpling is too thick. Pork bun is above average. Shu Mai is below average. I liked their matcha bun. the place is clean, service is fast. but a good dim sum place should be about the best food which is lacking. I still go here because there is no other better option.

My fiance and I came here for the first time on Saturday and we will definitely be back. First thing the staff was friendly and welcoming as we entered the store with a hello and smile. We ordered many things to try: fried wonton, pot stickers, pineapple bun, taro bun, fried egg rolls, fried shrimp balls, milk bun, shu mai, chrysanthemum drink, a jar of chili oil, and a house milk tea.
Easy process to fill out the sheet and give to staff for what you want to order. The only downside is I wish they had pictures of all the food so you can see what to order. I will definitely be back to get more pot stickers, fried wontons, shu mai, hot dog bun, and chrysanthemum tea.

It’s hard to find good dim sum in the east bay and I’m glad that this family run establishment exist to fix that issue!How can anyone not enjoy a warm and gooey custard or Matcha lava bun? They also have some enjoyable savory options as well.
Parking: This parking lot is usually pretty busy because of its location and the surrounding amenities. despite this, there’s usually always a spot to park.
First time ever ordering I got about 6 different items and they are all delicious. Everything tasted fresh. The price AMAZING! Kinda far from where I live but whenever I'm in the area I'll definitely be ordering again.

Usually when you know a place is the only place of its kind in the area, you expect it to not be as good. But Dim Sum Basket is amazing, even if they're the only dim sum place in the area. Their staff are friendly and efficient, the food is almost always excellent, and it's always fresh made. I highly suggest their pan-fried turnip cake (lobakgo), sticky rice (lomaigai), egg tart (dantat), sesame balls (Jindoi), BBQ pork bun (chasiubao), and pork and shrimp dumpling (siumai)!Pretty good prices and very high quality.
