Dim Sum Restaurants near Glendale, CA

“Great food, location and service“

“Best lo mai gai I’ve had in San Gabriel!

The owner (?) was so kind and allowed us to come in just as it was about to close. Dishes were ready with zero wait time and we were not rushed at all. The tea was fragrant and strong, and the sticky rice was DELICIOUS! Ordered congee but were so full we couldn’t finish it, reheated it for dinner and was still great! Also a huge fan of the garlic spare ribs. Overall, I highly recommend this place and believe this business deserves to be supported and thriving based on the service and food.“

“Some of the best food in Hollywood. That is saying a lot. While Hollywood decays from the yesteryears the food sadly does with restaurants also closing and leaving. Not this one. Dimsum Eats is the best Asian restaurant in Hollywood. I said what I said.“

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

“A great spot in Little Tokyo that specializes in gyoza! I really enjoyed the food here and it’s at a good cost as well. The service is friendly and kind too. The dumpling soup was my favorite especially when the temperature drops at night. You get to choose your filling and can either get steamed or pan fried. The bento box is a great deal here too. Good spot for sharing food with friends!“

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

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

“my family took me to celebrate father's day to this place . first let me tell you the food is better then din tai fung and cheaper. if you looking to explore another place to eat you must try coming here. the restaurant is small place to seat down we waited 45 minutes to seat but it worth it ..“

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

“We went on a Wednesday mid-afternoon. Not many people there. Service was efficient and good. We ordered various dishes and all were quite good and not at all oily. We enjoyed our meal very much. Prices were quite reasonable. Definitely will go back if we’re in the area again in the future.“

“Qi Steam Kitchen is so good! We tried several items from the menu, including the chicken wonton soup, chicken xiao long bao, beef noddle soup, beef and vegetable dumplings, scallion pancakes, and pan fried pork bao. All were delicious and came out so quickly! It’s a small restaurant, but there are still several places to sit. There is a small parking lot. The server was very attentive.“

“Wow wow wow !! Such great dumplings and custard buns ! Came by to get a quick lunch to go, and I open up my food to these cuties ! And not only were they cute, they were delicious! And the dumplings, my gosh! Delicious!! Definitely coming by and eating here again when I am in the area !!

Thank you!! 🙏🏼❤“

“I’ve been coming for years since they first opened! I grew up in Mexicali, Mexico known for its famous Chinese/Mexican food.
I was married to a Chinese Taiwanese woman & made a beautiful child. I’ve been to Asia and pride myself on being one of the most open minded foodies out there, I love high end experiences as well as street food alike. If the food is good the food is good!
However I do pay close attention to details & quality of ingredients and most importantly to be honest is the ability to feel welcomed & cared for in a place, Dans modern Chinese checks all the boxes for me, I’ve brought my Mexican grandma to this place the same way I’ve brought my foodie Asian friends- to me this place is consistent & service is always their focus, I know a few of the people by their name and they know mine. I may go months ar at a time without visiting yet I always feel like a local and most beloved customer. So thank you Dan modern Chinese!“

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

“Been coming here for as long as I can remember - I suppose as long as this iteration has existed. The H.Way Frontier is a place you’re introduced to early on if you’re below the line film crew in Burbank running with a rigging or art dept./set Dec crew. This storefront carries on the tradition as I’ll often bump into fellow industry crew here.
All that stuff is well and good but the real reason we congregate here is THE FOOD. There are other good Chinese restaurants in LA but this place to me is by far the best. Consistently wonderful, delicious, very good portion sizes and a nice menu variety. It’s quick (15 minutes or less) and the lunch specials are a great deal. I’m not usually this gushy about anything but Frontier Wok Too deserves every bit of praise I can throw at it. If my family is in the mood for Chinese Food there’s only one choice for us and that is right here. With no traffic it’s still a 20 minute drive one way but it’s worth every minute once we’re sitting down to eat it. You can’t go wrong at Frontier Wok Too. If you haven’t tried it you simply must and you can be the judge.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Well this is definitely our favorite Chinese fast food spot. The prices remind me of 1990. The portions are unbelievably generous and its genuine Chinese food. I exclusively prefer this short rib item, chicken Kung pao, Chow fun and Fried rice. So good!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Top Island is a classic gem in Alhambra for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. We came here for dinner and were blown away by the variety and quality. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp & Squid was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the Empress Chicken was incredibly tender with that signature ginger-scallion dipping sauce. We also loved the Beef with Tomato—so savory and comforting! The atmosphere is bustling and traditional, perfect for big family gatherings. Great service and very reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Definitely a go-to spot in the area!“

“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.“

“Mama Lu’s never fails :) this restaurant was the perfect choice for my family dinner gathering. The food and taste remaines as consistent as their original store in monterey park. All their dishes are served in round table family style dining, which encouraged us to share and socialize at the same time. They offered wide selections of chinese/asian staple dishes like Xiao Long Bao, which was my must have when I visited this restaurant! We also ordered Singapore Stir Fry Vermicelli (soo delicious with that fire work flavor), Beef Wrap (crunchy on the outside with delicious fillings inside), Spicy Wontons drenched in chilli oil (yummm), Seaweed Fish, Peking Roasted Duck (my second favorite!!) I loved how fast their dishes come out by one so we didnt have to wait for too long. There was also ample parking spots at the dedicated parking lot next to this restaurant. I highly recommend to try this spot with your friends and family :)“

“「鴻豐尚品」
Originally I was here to park my car and wanted to have lunch at other restaurant nearby. But the sign shows “parking Lot is for customer only”. That’s the reason why I have my lunch here.

I am very pleased with the amazing dim sum and the old-time atmosphere. The portion of food is huge and the price is reasonable. Definitely I’ll come back again!“

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

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

“Classic canto Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Grew up coming here and the nostalgia hit well.

We ordered the shrimp & sole fish with spicy salt and beef with string beans. All were very good, lots of garlic, bits of spicy and copious amounts of green onions. These classic dishes hit the spot and the service was good with the complimentary tea (osmanthus) & was water.“

“Forgot to make reservations around the Pantages but in our lack of planning we luckily found Northern Cafe for dinner before the show. The food was cooked fresh and quick. It was delicious, with excellent service and was reasonably priced for awesome hot dumplings and an expertly spiced savory beef soup. We will be coming back again.“

“So yummy and the owner is really lovely 😊“

“5/2026:
I've tried a few other dim sum places around the area and this is the only place I've been to that serves chili sauce as well as real chili oil with the actual chili flakes. It makes a huge difference. The food also comes out piping hot. They are literally cooking some of the food on their dim sum carts, which is awesome.

2023:
Prices are decent for dimsum which is great; it's cheaper during the week. My friends and I like coming here. The staff seem to recognize us.

On some days the food is greasy; other days, not so much. If the food is not greasy, we end up eating and ordering more food.“

“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.“

“Everytime I drive anywhere near downtown, I stop by Chinatown to grab some goodies. I'm part Asian and have actually come to this restaurant as a kid. I don't get much as I am just grabbing a few things to go, but I usually stop and grab a couple orders of Steamed BBQ Pork Buns (Char siu bao) and Sesame Seed Balls. Not only is it cheaper buying it from the restaurant, it is better as well. I highly encourage anyone looking for some Chinese delicacies to give them a try. They have everything and always have parking right in front.“

“Foo, listen. When the lady taking your order has bread flour on her shirt you know it is going to be fresh.

My family loved the breakfast. House crepe comes with preserved tofu sauce. Crepe was kinda like roti. Everything handmade. Fair prices EOY 2025. 4 adult 1 kid ~60 bucks.

Wish the menu had photos for us ABCs, but you can see better pics on Yelp.“

“The food was delicious really really good. I’ve been here a few times already and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a small mountain pop shop and the ladies that serve the food really nice. I am not from Asia, but they make me feel like my mama is serving me food.“
