Dim Sum Restaurants near El Monte, CA

“This is my go to place for pickup and go dim sum. They don't speak a ton of English but they try. The food is always good and generally moderately priced. I love the seaweed rolls as well as the ham sui gok. Most issues you can't go wrong. If you want no nonsense dim sum that you can just grab and go this is a great place. They do have sit-down traditional dim sum style but it's pretty crowded and the place isn't very big.“

“Their steamed small meat buns (fermented‑dough xiao long bao) are really tasty, tiny and satisfying. The boiled dumplings are also great, with juicy broth inside.
The lady owner is super warm and welcoming. Food comes out extremely fast since they are pre‑prepared. Great quick meal, will come back again!“

“Dim Sum King was a great place to enjoy a variety of dim sum. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the different dishes made it fun to share and try a little of everything. The service was efficient and the atmosphere was lively but comfortable. I’d definitely return for another meal.“

“Best roast duck!!! I always thought Sam Woo was the best , but their duck is delicious. Everything was freshly made!!“

“Hands down BEST dim sum I've had in a long time.
The host is amazing, with incredible customer service.
The house Chili-Garlic sauce, is to die for, I wish I could take some with me.
The Har Gao is EXCEPTIONAL, the amount of shrimp packed in there is unbelievable. The wrapper is the best I've had, it just melts in your mouth
The pan fried Chive cakes, loved the texture
Chicken Feet...yumm, just try it, you won't be disappointed 😋
The steamed fermented rice sponge cake was very interesting.
This is definitely on my list when I come back to LA.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“it was very affordable, only we couldn't resist ordering more because it was all delicious. everything we tried was harmonious. except the egg cheese buldak ramen wrap, although that could have been expected. we ate lunch here, and came back the same day for dinner because it was too good.“

“Thank God for Prince Dumplings. Ever since the Mandarin Noodle House in Monterey Park closed down, I’ve been searching for a decent beef noodle soup to scratch my itch and while I’ve found a few pretty good places in the SGV, Prince Dumpling has the beef noodle soup and so much more. Literally everything I’ve had on their menu is delicious. I can’t think of a single dish or appetizer I tried that didn’t blow me away. I’m so thankful I found this place and my family is too. When you find a restaurant you can tell really cares about their craft, you can immediately sense and taste it. This is one of those rare gems.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“A tremendously cute little hole in the wall dim sum place. As mentioned previously, this is not a big restaurant where food is brought out: you order at the counter and they bring out food piping hot and freshly steamed. That said, each dish was big restaurant quality and they were even nice enough to let us eat at their sole table there. The dumplings were balanced and well seasoned, and the pastries were tasty (not too sweet!) and well baked. Would absolutely go again.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“The food was good, but I wasn’t comfortable with the way the server handled the bowls and plates. I saw hisi hands touch the money, computer surface, and the dirty table. Wearing gloves made me uncomfortable, especially when the server’s fingers touched the inside of the bowl. Other than that, the food was great.“

“If you’re looking for a restaurant with delicious food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service, this is definitely the place to visit! Every dish we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and worth every penny. The staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the overall dining experience is consistently excellent. We always leave with full stomachs, big smiles, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!“

“Another new dim sum place to try!

Slightly different flavors on some classics, but everything was very good. Good value. Everything on the front of the menu is $4.88. The back side is $14 (beef chow fun, etc.)

Sorry. No pics this time. I post next time.“

“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.“

“This is a very small dim sum place, one two table for 4 person, and 2 tables for 2. So maximum only 12 people can dine it. However, the dim sum here is one of the best we have had. Siu mai was rich in flavor and meaty. Stick rice and cheong fun were both top notched. Xiao longbao was juicy too. Due to the small dining area, I imagined it will be difficult at peak hour. Or you just need to take out. But if you do take out, the dim sum may not taste as good. Dilemma. But we were very happy with the food and service.“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Auntie Qiu Kitchen in Arcadia! We ordered the pan-fried pork buns, noodles, and pancakes. Everything was delicious, but the noodles were definitely the highlight—my kid loved them! A great spot for a family meal.“

“Great Pork Dumplings also really like the Beef & Cheese“

“Waaaaaah! Wilson was our server and he was kind, made great recommendations, and checked in throughout the meal. 5 stars for him alone. Whatever you order, you will not be disappointed. Food is high quality, flavors are just right. Highlights were the Sand Ginger Chicken and Pan Fried Vermicelli. My Chinese parents were impressed, which is truly the highest praise.“

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“amazing food and quality“

“They carry a variety of different types of dim sum, always fresh and friendly staff“

“This is my first time trying Five Star Seafood Restaurant at the San Gabriel Hilton Hotel. I did not try their dim sum, so this review is for the banquet dinner only. I attended a banquet dinner event last week. The venue was nice, and it was very spacious inside. Most dishes tasted delicious and flavorful, and my favorite dishes were the lobster, steamed fish, abalone, veggies (bok choy), and chicken the most. The portions were a decent size. The service was not bad, but it could be better.“

“I was looking for somewhere to meet up with a colleague for lunch and CP came highly recommended. My colleague did the ordering. I found the taste and selection of dim sum to be one of the highlights. CP does get noisy. Service is excellent. Restaurant comps underground parking.“

“It’s a traditional Cantonese dim sum place where it smells like dim sum, noisy and loud with minimal services. It’s for eating small portions and drinking tea, so of course their tea will be reviewed also.

5/5:
- Char siu is phenomenal! Highly recommended!
- Spring rolls that is crunchy and flavorful
- Shu mai is flavorful and loaded with mushrooms and pork fat in a very authentic (but unhealthy) way

4/5:
- Hagao
- Egg tart

3/5:
- Beef rice roll

1:5:
- Jellyfish smells and tastes fishy and stinky!“

“I’ve eaten here before and really enjoyed the food, so I was surprised to find the restaurant closed today. There wasn’t any notice explaining why, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Does anyone know the reason or when it will reopen? I’ve attached a photo in case it helps others.“

“Service was accommodating but communication was difficult as only a few could understand English.
Food is good, may not be to my experience in HK restaurants.
Would come back without hesitation as I hardly cook anymore 😕“

“They keep long operating hours so you never need to rush your meal, and the whole venue stays clean and spacious, ideal for hosting guests with dignity. Locals constantly book this restaurant for group celebrations and holiday dinners, and the food never disappoints. Hands down one of the most trustworthy classic Cantonese restaurants in the area!“

“After coming to this spot with my partner, this spot has become one of my go to spots for to go type dim sum. They provide all the dim sum that you would find in regular dim sum restaurants including the signature dishes like shumai, har gow, cheung fun, chicken feet, etc.

Staff here is friendly and quick. Even though English is not some of the staffs languages, they do their best and understand pretty well.

The dim sum is as you expect from most places. Although this place is a bit cheaper than your usual sit down restaurant, food can differ at bit. I found that the chicken feet was a bit soggy and not fresh but it could be a anomaly from the order. The buns here are pretty sizeable and well made when it's fresh.

One thing to note is that there's a $1 extra charge for credit cards if your order is below $20.

Portions here are identical to your usual dim sum restaurants which is nice for a takeout spot. Super quick and convenient for a place that's to go and at a affordable price. This is the spot to visit if you want standard dim sum to go at an affordable price.“
