Average quality dim sum at reasonable price. 3% extra for credit card use.
Nice hole in the wall for quick dimsum, the bbq pork buns were good but the shiny layer that’s brushed on top was sticking to my teeth, would be good if that layer wasn’t that sticky. The Har Gow was off, tastes like lemon was added, made me question if it went sour because it was bad. But I wouldn’t recommend getting the Har Gow. I also got chicken feet, ham sui gok, shumai, all are decent. Will I go again? probably not. Price and service was great but the food was okay.
Very busy on a Saturday morning and reasonably so. Their dim sum isgreatttt
Small, take out only, mom and pop dim sum hidden gem!! Good prices, super fast service, and the best dim sum i’ve had in the SGV so far. All of the items had HUGE fillings-the biggest and fattest shu mai i’ve ever had. Chive dumpling had the thinnest most see through wrapper. Loved the egg tarts they were super soft, flakey, and the filling was still soft and jiggly but set perfectly. The pineapple egg yolk buns were incredible too. Everything seasoned well. You can tell they know what they’re doing. The only minor comment is that the shrimp rice roll wrapper was a little thick but not honestly a big deal. 5 stars absolutely must try if you love dim sum!!!
Bring cash!! They accept card but charge a small fee.
Larger than average portions. Food overall good value and quality. Taro cake with large fresh chunks. Glutinous ball good amount of chewy mochi with crispy exterior and meaty center. Easy online order and quick pickup.

I've been here a couple times before but most recently visited again for takeout.The items are a hit or miss for me, but overall I wouldn't return.I ordered:- chicken feet - 4/5 - good flavor but not as deep fried/soft/flavorful as it could be- spare ribs - 5/5 - lean meat with taro, great flavor- shao mai - 3/5 - very big and meaty but flavor was okay- tofu wrap - 2/5 - it's ok but the filling is very mushy and indistinguishable- shrimp and chive bun - 1/5 - usually I love these but in this case, avoid - the filling is also very mushy - very little shrimp and chive in this, most of it is filler and I didn't like the taste

Small hole in the wall, mom and pop shop. I didn't want to come in, but after the reviews I read, I went for it. They did not disappoint. My god the food was so good!! The Peach Green Tea was delicious! Not watered down either.

My go to place for Dim Sum on my commute home from SGV to Orange County. They got your fan favs and the prices are somewhat reasonable - compared to some LA Chinatown spots, $5 per dish seems a bit high. Their food taste great so I really can't complain. Place looks clean inside but it can be hot and stifling during the summer. No dine in, strictly togo.

Hey, it's a mom & pop style togo dim sum place! Everytime I go to the east of LA passing El Monte, stop by here and get a lot of dim sum! It may not be good as the actual set restaurant place, but the price and decent food are the deal! I can't complain at all! I love their dim sum!
Parking: Plenty of parking, which is the plaza there!

I've been coming here for a year and I love their assortment of snacks, especially their Siumai. Also, the food is very affordable as well.

Hole in the wall that specialize in takeout dim sum. You tick a menu form and there are pictures on the wall to point to, in case you don't know the names. Quality of the food is average to good, depending on dish. I'd recommend the shiumai (steamed pork dumplings) and steamed spare ribs. Almost everything is $3.98 so go ahead and experiment.
My favourite the shiumai and steamed spare ribs.
