Dim Sum Restaurants near Glendale, CA

“Great food, location and service“

“Hands down one of the best dim sum restaurants I’ve ever been to. Just took out an order for our road trip and we were blown away. Everything is incredibly fresh and beautifully made. Flavors are so vibrant and delicious. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

The steamed shrimp dumplings, shrimp shumai, and egg tarts were our favorites!“

“Hands down! These are some of the best dumplings. I visit often and bring along some friends and they love coming here as well as repeat customers. Why?

The food price is very reasonable. The food is amazing, the wontons, the dumplings, can't go wrong with anything you ordr here. I always order too much because it's so good. Also, if you order a drink, the drink is 32oz as well. The service is pretty quick. Can't go wrong here!“

“This place is a true culinary delight. The dishes are flavorful and beautifully plated, using fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it ideal for any occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dining experience.“

“Auntie Qiu Kitchen’s Pork XLB definitely hit the spot for my partner and me when we had cravings for XLB in Alhambra, didn’t get to try their crab and pork XLB but we'll have to come back to try it out! I definitely recommend the fried pork chop sticky rice cake, it’s super crispy, savory and the glaze on the pounded crispy rice cake is a great compliment. The server was nice and attentive and the food came out extremely fast!“

“I am Chinese and I think it's a great casual place to get authentic dim sum dishes! Ignore the fussy reviewers - of course it is not a formal restaurant so you cannot expect the full service/menu as such. I got the chinese broccoli - yes its a cold dish and it's delicious! Leek dumplings which were huge, perfectly steamed and full of leek and prawns. Finally the har cheong fan (which is my favourite dim sum food ever) was full of large, juicy prawns. Everything was fresh, delicious and generous. I found the service very friendly and fast.“

“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“

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

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

“I've passed by this place many times. Sometimes there's limes of people. Always wanted to try their char siu bao. They have both steamed and baked types. I bought both types. I usually like the baked type more. But here both were good but I preferred the steamed ones more.“

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

“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.“

“This is a nice little restaurant that is very affordable for two or four people.
Proportion and servings are medium to large.
Depending on how much you order and how big or small your stomach is.
This may not be din Tai Fung but it's it's a little brother and it is up to par.
I was very satisfied with my meal I do plan to come back for a regular visit.
Steam soup dumplings were also their signature mark as well as their bao buns.
They give you options for soup, noodles, vegetable servings, choice of drinks and desserts.
Please pay this wonderful little restaurant to visit.“

“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!“

“Everything we had here was fantastic! I loved the mango iced tea because it actually tastes like mangos, the chicken was nice and crunchy on the outside, juice and delicious on the inside. We also had xiao baos and their dry noodles with peanut butter sauce which were both fantastic! I would recommend against getting their devils hot sauce unless you have like an amazing spice tolerance! I thought my spice tolerance was fine because i can handle tapatio and valentina easily but this sauce left me chugging my drink and feeling the chili under my tongue for hours!“

“This restaurant was a go to place for my mom in the early morning cuz it opened at 8 am. The dim sums was decent but it lacked varieties so choices were limited. Almost all dim sums costed $5.28 per dish except few bbq n special items.

Parking: During weekend around lunch time, it was difficult to find parking nearby the restaurant.“

“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.“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

“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!“

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

“We had an incredible dining experience at Dan Chinese, and a huge part of that was thanks to Eric! From the moment we were seated, Eric went above and beyond with his hospitality and customer service. The dishes were great and were tailored to our taste profile.

Highly recommend visiting Dan Chinese — and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Eric, you’re in for a treat!“

“My friend invited me to a dinner here and everything was so good! Crystal Palace took over the Chef Tony location. They not only have dimsum all day along with various dishes, but they also added carpaccio to their appetizer menu! It was delicious! So were the shishito peppers! The French style diced beef was so tender and flavorful. Hubby really liked the vermicelli with beef and pickles, pickles were so good! So was the crispy layer! I really liked their spicy wontons and of course salted egg shrimp. The dessert was delish! Loved golden lava bun and bunnies! Will definitely be back! I’m eyeing the oxtail and whole pumpkin, lobster salad and Peking duck 2 way which you need to order a day ahead. Their house special chicken is also an order ahead item that’s supposed to be really good too. Service was excellent and the ambiance is set for fine dining with so private rooms as well.“

“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!“

“We came here for a family dinner with a party of eight and ordered both king crab and geoduck. The seafood was impressively fresh and the portions generous. The king crab was flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the geoduck sashimi was clean, crunchy, and refreshing.

Service was attentive and efficient throughout the meal, and for the quality of seafood, the pricing was very reasonable. Great experience overall — would definitely return for another celebration or large gathering.“

“From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons.
Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way!
I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!“

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!“

“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.“

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

“As someone from Guangdong, there’s a special kind of feeling when it comes to having morning dim sum.
This morning, I made a point to visit a well-known, long-established dim sum restaurant here in Los Angeles. Before 10 a.m., the place was already packed—grandpas and grandmas gathered around the tables, sipping tea. That familiar scene brought me a quiet sense of comfort. After all, the true food lovers always arrive early.

Walking in, you’re greeted by a spacious, bright dining hall. The big LED screen and live seafood tanks give the place a bold, lively feel.
As soon as we sat down, a server handed us the classic paper dim sum card. But what made me smile most? They still have dim sum carts! The auntie pushed her cart around, calling out: “Freshly baked pineapple buns~ Har gow, siu mai, BBQ pork buns~”
In that moment, I felt like I’d been transported back to my childhood—weekend mornings at a tea house in Guangzhou with my parents.

You pick your dim sum right from the cart, and they stamp your card on the spot. It’s simple, personal, and full of warmth.
Compared to today’s “contactless” QR code ordering, this style feels more like a cozy little gathering. Even just chatting with the staff feels heartwarming.

The dim sum here is fresh and the flavors are spot-on—many dishes still carry that traditional Hong Kong-style touch.
It’s the perfect spot for family and friends to gather, sip tea, and catch up. Honestly, this is what happiness looks like.

🫖 Little tips:
From Monday to Friday, there’s a 10% discount during morning dim sum hours—a great excuse to slow down and enjoy a peaceful weekday.
Plus, both the Rowland Heights and Alhambra locations are now offering summer specials like the “Abalone Trio” and “Lucky Seafood Trio” all day long—no need to rush in early to enjoy the good stuff!“

“Having Mama Lu’s 5 min away is seriously dangerous! This is one of our fav spots for Chinese spots and for good reason. The food is always delicious and they serve generous portions. This time we ordered the lobster noodles, shrimp with scrambled egg, shrimp, napa, & pork dumplings, spicy wontons, juicy pork dumplings, and sizzling filet mignon with black pepper sauce. Top favs of the night def have to be the lobster noodles, the sizzling plate, and the spicy wontons which always hit. Service was quick and friendly as usual.“

“During my last visit to Chinatown, my partner and some friends enjoyed a meal nearby, and I couldn’t help but notice the hustle and bustle of this restaurant. A couple of months later, we decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad we did—they did not disappoint!

The restaurant was clean and inviting, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu. We opted for a mix of dim sum and a lunch special. The shiu mai and beef noodle roll were delicious, while the spare ribs could have been improved. That said, the pork chops were a bit on the salty side due to MSG, but they were incredibly flavorful and damn delicious! The service was good, typical of a chinese restaurant IYKYK

Overall, I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!“

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

“I bought half a roast duck. It tastes good and is just right salty. However, I suggest you put the roast duck juice in another container or use a more airtight box. I bought the roast duck a few days ago and I was more careful when handling it, but the juice was still there. It leaked into the bag...and there is no duck neck in it. I don't know if it is not included or if I have to ask.“

“Quite enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and value for the price. I will say we didn't receive what we ordered. The staff were friendly and efficient but too busy to stay on top of everything. Would definitely go back, but maybe after trying other dim sum options first“

“This place is lowkey and so legit. We love getting the taiwanese purple rice rolls, pork buns, and hot tea (that tea is a steal ngl). There's enough menu items you can take your time exploring, or eat some tried and trues. Everything tastes made from scratch. Prices are affordable. The servers are so sweet and kind. Like what's not to love?? The majority of customers are Chinese speaking, but we got by fine with English XD Morning Summit is always the perfect way to start your day...arguably best breakfast place in town!“

“Lobster noodle special $16.99 is only available with minimum purchase $20 or more also the noodle and sides additional, $26 roasted duck has a minimum of 3 main course purchase and only available evening. The tea taste was very generic, charged my 10yrs old tea count(told me all tea count over 4yrs old), old school dim sum cart is authentic and give it a thumbs up because a lot of restaurants are no longer doing dim sum carts no more. Haven’t tried other seafood yet, but the noodle with lobster was too small and over fried, that’s what you may get for a special I guess. Total gross charge of $60-$6tax-$6tea count= $48 net with 4 dim sum flat fee of $5 plus a lobster noodle for 4 people sounds very fair. Only need to improve the food and tea quality bit more toward a higher end quality seafood restaurant with more attractive pricing.“

“I am not sure why this restaurant doesn't get better ratings. Let me explain - I am a Singaporean Chinese in my 30s and this is by far one of the best Chinese food I've eaten in my life. My husband and I got the sour cabbage/sauerkraut with beef noodles, chilli oil pork wontons and pot stickers through Uber Eats and we honestly didn't expect much.

Surprisingly, the dumplings were very juicy and meaty!! Usually, Chinese restaurants would just serve vinegar on the side for the pot stickers but our dipping sauce was quite different - besides vinegar, there were also garlic bits and what I might suspect was sour plum juice? The chilli oil pork wontons were also not too spicy or acidic, but full-bodied and not overwhelming.

As for the beef noodles, the soup was just perfect on a (not too cold) winter night. Again, it was not overly sour to stomach and had a nice well-rounded flavour. Though the noodles were slightly soggy from the delivery, my husband and I didn't mind it too much because we were busy downing the delicious soup. It probably would have been better if we ate at the shop itself with everything piping hot!

What a way to end my last night in LA! Great food with American-sized portions with Chinese flavour intensity!!! My husband even said that he would drive one full hour for this.“
