Dim Sum Restaurants near Burbank, CA

“Had takeout as an employee luncheon, and they got everything spot on. Food was perfectly packed and super delicious. The fried rice is very tasty and had a good texture just how I like it. Chow mein was very tasty as well. We will definitely order from here again.“

“So yummy and the owner is really lovely 😊“

“One of the best dim sum and bao buns I’ve ever had — absolutely incredible! The place is spotless, which is very important to me, and everything looks stylish with a beautiful and cozy atmosphere.

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mama Grace. She is such a warm and kind person with an amazing positive energy, and you can truly feel how much she cares about every detail of her place. Thanks to her, I even learned how to properly eat dim sum — gently open it first to let the steam out, add a bit of soy sauce or chili oil if you like, and enjoy it without burning your mouth. It made the whole experience even more special, and I love learning these cultural details.

We also really appreciated that even though the restaurant was about to close, no one rushed us — that level of hospitality meant a lot. As a lovely gesture, we were treated to sesame balls, which I tried for the first time, and they were absolutely delicious. I also highly recommend the chicken bao — it’s amazing.

Thank you for the wonderful food, warm atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. We will definitely be back!“

“We order to go from here all the time. The dimsum is authentic and the best you can do on the west side. Good portion sizes. We've never dined in but they do have a dining room and the experience is as you would expect from a small mom and pop outfit.“

“My friend and I were staying at the hotel across the street and we wanted Chinese food, and this was the first place our eyes settled on. You wouldn't expect it by just looking at it, but this place is actually so good! We got the pork and beef stews with egg noodles. The flavord were subtle but definitely not boring. The staff was so nice and patient despite a bit of a language barrier. I am surprised that it wasn't more busy, they definitely deserve the business.“

“The food was Amazing !!! I'll admit i was skeptical because the food looked simple but the FLAVOR is top notch! We ordered the dumplings, wonton, chicken wonton soup, the Radish soup a pork bowl, and the chow mien. Lots of flavor, definitely my new to go spot!“

“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“

“I haven't been able to try this restaurant since it reopened and I had just the time to do so today. All the dim sum was great, just no BBQ pork buns 😂. The dumplings were thin skinned and tender and tasted similar to what I had in China and the waiters were friendly!“

“Great food, location and service“

“The Angus Stewed Beef Rice Bowl is hands‑down my favorite—I’ve had it plenty of times, and it never disappoints.

The beef is fall‑apart tender, richly braised so each bite melts in your mouth and soaks into the perfectly steamed rice below.

How Mr. Mason achieves that silky‑soft texture is beyond me, but I’m so grateful he does.

If you’re looking for a hearty, flavor‑packed meal that keeps you coming back, this is the one.

Don’t miss it!“

“All of the dumplings are delicious, and prepared very fast.“

“I have been coming to ABC Seafood Restaurant whenever I’m in town for years, and it’s one of my absolute must-stop spots every single visit. Everything here is exceptionally amazing — from the freshest seafood to perfectly cooked dishes. The Peking duck is my all-time favorite, and the crab and lobster are unbeatable. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. 1000/10 recommend!“

“Handmade with love. Tastes as if I'm at my Halmoni's house. Delicate, real and subtle Korean flavors of my childhood, not too sweet or salty. My bf and I ordered the steamed veggie dumplings, chive pancake ((better than my Sumo's! Shhh)), king sized veggie dumplings, side of rice and miso soup. Cooked to order -- be patient. Soft textures. Sweet, hardworking couple. Our fav is the steamed veggie mandu. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect meal. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶 I love this place, if I lived in LA I'd be here all the time.“

“Visited here for the first time and loved it. Easy parking, very nice setup (we were a group of 3- and lots of large round tables available). The menu is large and fun to choose from, and they have a nice lunch special of various small dumplings for $5.50 each- fun to order one or two before the main course arrives. The lunch courses came in about 10 minutes or so, but in the meantime we enjoyed the dumplings and the hot tea. The food quality is very good. Tip- I recommend ordering a few dishes, and sharing it with friends- makes is a lot more fun. Go if you can.“

“Five years ago, on a rainy afternoon in Los Angeles - the kind that sneaks into your shoes and makes umbrellas feel hilariously inadequate - my partner and I had just finished errands at a local bank in Studio City. The streets gleamed under a stubborn drizzle, and, hungry and thoroughly soaked, we went searching for shelter. We slipped into the nearby Green Apple China Bistro, like two weary ships at last finding safe harbor in a gentle sea of rain.\n\nWarmth wrapped around us instantly - the fragrant swirl of ginger, garlic, and sizzling woks felt like a hug from the universe. We plopped into a booth by the window, watching raindrops perform races down the glass as the city blurred into watery streaks.\n\nSoon, a parade of treasures arrived. New York‑style egg rolls - crisp and steaming, their golden shells crackling softly as we picked them up, stuffed with a savory mix of cabbage, celery, pork, and shrimp. Each bite released a warm, fragrant hug of flavors, perfectly balanced with a playful drizzle of sweet-and-sour plum sauce that danced across the tongue like a tiny celebration.\n\nTwo‑Flavor Shrimp - plump, succulent shrimp artfully arranged on a divided plate, dressed in two contrasting sauces: one savory with gentle warmth, the other bright, sweet, and tangy. Though distinct, the sauces came together to form a harmonious whole, balancing and elevating each bite. Caramelized walnuts added a delicate, nutty crunch, completing a sophisticated interplay of textures and flavors. Bold yet refined, this dish transformed every forkful into a memorable culinary journey.\n\nThe Pineapple Curry Fried Rice - tender chicken and succulent shrimp intertwined with crisp peas, sweet carrots, scallions, and delicate white onions, all embraced by fragrant, golden fried rice. Juicy pineapple added a luminous, tropical sweetness, while toasted cashews lent a subtle, nutty crunch. Infused with a gentle, aromatic curry spice, each bite unfolded layers of savory warmth and textural harmony - a refined, vibrant reinterpretation of a classic fried rice..., adding a cheerful tropical wink to the otherwise gray day.\n\nEach bite was a tiny rebellion against the rain, a delicious incantation that chased away the chill. The hum of conversation, the clatter of dishes, and the attentive staff made the dreary afternoon feel like an unexpected adventure in a hidden, enchanted corner of the city.\n\nWhen we stepped back into the drizzle, we carried more than satisfied appetites - we carried a pocket of warmth, laughter, and a whisper of magic that danced in the air well beyond the last drop of rain.\n\nNowadays, even five years later, we return to the Green Apple China Bistro with eager anticipation. Since I have no favorites and treasure the thrill of discovery, I select different dishes each time, delighting in the unexpected. Every plate, vibrant in flavor, texture, and aroma, holds a small surprise, turning each meal into an exquisite, ever-changing culinary journey. Each visit leaves a lingering impression long after the last taste - a tiny spark of enchantment waiting to be discovered anew.\n\nMaria E.\nCertified Sommelier & Cordon Bleu Chef | International Food Expert\nPresident of a Gourmet Food Company\n‘Bringing exceptional flavors to life’“

“Our 1st time going and BOY IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was sadden about them closing. Awesome Customer Svc“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be special. The cozy ambiance set the mood, and the staff greeted me with genuine smiles.

I ordered the Asado siopao and beef wonton, and wow both were bursting with flavor. The siopao was fluffy with a delicious filling, and the beef wontons were rich, tender, and comforting. I was so excited to try them, I didn’t even stop to take a photo!

Great food, great service, great vibes. What more can you ask for?!“

“We had the lobster meatballs, egg custard buns, and pork and crab dumplings. The flavors and textures were so interesting and totally scrumptious. Everything was made fresh and brought out piping hot. We've travelled the U.S. extensively and are foodies, so let me tell you this place is a true authentic gem which should not be overlooked.“

“Every once in a while, my Grandparents and I would come to the Golden Dragon for lunch, and this establishment never fails to exceed my expectations. The food is well made, and is quite satisfying. The service is fast and reliable, even if sometimes they may not completely understand English (which is understandable). The atmosphere is quiet, calm, and rather welcoming. Every time I come here, I do so with great enthusiasm. If you ever want good food in Chinatown, this is a place I'd recommend.“

“I love the new location and the Dim Sum served all day and night!“

“East Garden A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the City
Tucked away in a quiet plaza, East Garden delivers comforting Chinese classics with a warm, family run vibe. The sesame chicken is crispy perfection, and the hot & sour soup hits all the right notes. Service is fast, friendly, and refreshingly genuine. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or settling in for a cozy meal, this spot feels like home. Don’t skip the house made chili oil it’s magic.“

“Thanksgiving lunch here! Awesome food as usual :)“

“I will be back but I won't order number 22 next time. It's the traditional house ramen but the pork came with the skin that looks like chewing gum. The seasoning was great. The noodles were cooked just right and had a good consistency. They could have added a little more bean sprouts. The service was so charismatic that even though it wasn't the best ramen I've ever had, I'll be back again since the price is super super fair.“

“The food is really good, the Beef Chow Mein with Black pepper sauce is delicious. The soup dumplings do not disappoint, just the right amount of soupy goodness. The service is great, but the atmosphere could use some help, I did come in on a Tuesday night.“
