I’ve ordered from Dim Sum King through DoorDash many times and always enjoyed it, so I decided to try dining in. The food was still decent (7/10), but the service completely ruined the experience. Our waiter seemed annoyed from the start. We asked for water, and he brought tea instead. When we politely asked again for cold water, he gave us a look like we were bothering him. No one checked on us during the meal, and the overall vibe just felt cold and unwelcoming. What really shocked me was at the end — when we went to pay, the staff told us we had to leave at least a 15% tip. It was just two of us, and the “skip” option was clearly there. We have been a generous tipper but I’ve never been pressured like that before, especially after such poor service. I used to love this place for takeout, but after this dine-in experience, I won’t be coming back — not in person, and not online. There are plenty of other spots that actually appreciate their customers.

I wasn’t going to write a review since my family and I came so many times because they offer a large variety of dim sum at good quality and reasonable price. This time really got on my nerves when we ordered a Portuguese egg tart and they placed regular egg tarts on the table. My sister spoke to the server to make sure they didn’t make a mistake, the server insisted Portuguese egg tarts are the same as egg tarts. We didn’t want to argue with them any more so here I’m making sure others don’t get tricked by them, their servers have no idea what they’re serving and they’re not interested to learn why customers are unhappy.

Sorry but I just really give only 4 stars to a good store or restaurant as I reserve the other star to really the best if I find it. The staffs here were nice and always smiling which makes it feel easy to enjoy the food. Parking is okay.

The worse thing about this place is that they won’t refund you for poor service and food m. The prices you paid for is bad. I even tried talking to the bank and they ruled it against me and some items I didn’t even get when I ordered and was charged for it!!! Scammers
We come here often because it's a solid place with decent prices. We always get the usual ha gao & shu mai combo with other fixings.
The service is attentive when you raise your hand for something. It's not like other restaurants where you wait for someone to come up to your table. You can leave your dirty dish on the side of the table, and they'll pick it up within a minute. Don't forget to tip your tea cup lid if you want a refill, and they will just come by and refill it for you instead of raising your hands to ask.
The bathroom is small but does the job (toilet and urinal). I come here almost every time.I need alignment.Add the tire shop nearby.

Great dim sum

Worst service ever. We had to skip the tip intentionally because of that and the server was venting about that to the cashier and judging. They don’t even deserve tip.

One of the few Cantonese comfort food left. Dim Sum King is unique in that they serve Dim Sum all day in addition to the traditional Cantonese dishes with a few contemporary spin on some.
Located inside a strip mall, parking can be a challenge here and being up on a hill those seated closest to the door will feel the draft every time someone walks in or out.
Their Dim Sum menu is pretty complete; from the traditional Shrimp Dumpling, to Lotus Wrap Sticky Rice Chicken, to fresh made Rice Noodle with your choice of filling, to pork bun.. they got it all. Their rice porridge was a traditional dinner soup portion enough for a party of eight. Their Chicken with Pig intestine was tasty and their Roast Duck with Truffle was too salty to eat on it's own (even with rice noodles it was too salty). Price wise, it's inline with other places and they do add a service charge to your bill.
Staff here are plentiful and no problem flagging down a waiter/waitress for water or refill our teapot, and they clear out the empty dishes quickly. As with most typical Chinese style restaurant, you'll need to raise your voice to be hear across the table, and overall cleanliness is not the best but acceptable.
