An inviting atmosphere with delicious dim sum and excellent service. I have yet to find a better dim sum restaurant. I highly recommend Best Dim Sum!

Truly the best dim sum I've ever had. We were in the area so stopped by to cross it off our list, and WOW. These were the perfect versions of dishes we've had many times. The flavors and the textures were 10/10 on every single dish.

This is a very good dim sum house. And... Everything from the kitchen is HOT (temperature), which after growing up with eating dim sum, and over my 50 years as an adult. NEVER have I eaten dim sum, where it's too hot to eat... that's you'll need to let it sit there for a couple of minutes, just to let it cool down. The primary waitress is the Owner, a very nice woman. I'm hoping they'll continue to add on to their menu. But they do have ALL the main items, one finds in must every dim sum house, and they're Hong Kong style chow meins are great, too. We highly recommend this place! Mostly since it saves us an extra 45 minute drive to South Sacramento, the next nearest Cantonese style dim sum.

This is a hidden gem and the best Dim Sum in the greater Sacramento area! The food is fresh and delicious. Our favorite is the crispy shrimp balls. The service was friendly and quick. Don’t pass this amazing place up if you are craving Dim Sum!

Dropped in on a Weds evening and no one was there. The one staff person was nice, but sick. She was coughing a lot and finally put on a mask. We couldn’t order anything fried because it would have cost them too much for one order of fried pork dumplings so we ordered a steamed shrimp dumpling. It was dry and the dumpling was doughy. We also had General Chicken over rice, which was ok. There is a dim sum place off Eureka Rd , which is much better.

My son and daughter-in-law introduced me to this place. The people are very friendly and funny. The items are traditional and not americanized. I keep coming back for more. So yummy!

First time we went there for dim sum brunch was rated w a 4. Second time was on a weekend and was a little busy. They had 2 young boys running around helping the servers scratching out the food on the order list brought to the table. They had people screaming at each other in the kitchen . The porridge was very different from what we ordered the first time we went there. Food was cold. I like my food hot. Every time the server bring food out from the kitchen they kept on looking at our order list trying to find out if the food they were carrying was ours or not. The beef tripe was so tough and had to return it. A min passed by and the tripe came back with no difference on its texture. Maybe re heated up in a microwave. We gave them a third chance and went on a Monday. We were the only ones there. The porridge, the chicken wings and the chow mien all tasted the same. Seems like it had lots MSG on it. We didn't finish what we ordered. All the 3 visits had different version of cooking. The dim sum were ok if served hot. Porridge was prepared 3 different ways on out visit. The last visit was terrible, it wasn't hot. NO, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK THERE.

I have been to many different dim sum restaurants and this one the worst one! Food serving is very small comparing to others no mater in downtown or other cities. Wrapped Sticky rice in the lotus leaves is a mess! Very Slimy. I haven’t seen such small fried dumplings. If it’s just a dish, it’s fine, but several dishes i ordered have problems (even came the second time to confirm my first bad experience )Be aware of this store!!
Catchy restaurant name but not the best dim sum for me. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Service is attentive. The menu is pretty large with Chinese dim sum, entrees, and weekday lunch special options.
I ate her multiple times before but something seemed amiss on my recent visit for their dim sum. Let me begin with the good… pork sui mai and egg custard. The sui mai were a hefty dim sum serving size. They were seasoned mildly though. The egg custards were pretty good. Flaky crust that held up per bite and smooth glossy custard. However my fave fried pork dumpling tasted different from the last time I ate here. This time those little suckers were hard, not crispy but downright hard. I had to use my fingers to smush it a bit to soften the fried exterior. The interior filling was ok. But not worth breaking a tooth.
They bring out dim sum items one at a time which I didn’t prefer. There were several minutes in between each item. So it was an odd dining experience. I don’t recall them doing this before. Plus the place could use a deep clean.

The owner and some of the waiters were very kind, and funny. We were greeted with smiles, and we left with smiles(and complimentary desserts)! The dimsum is good and traditional, and not too salty. The portions are pretty big, and there is a variety of dishes to choose from. My favorite is probably the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. Very tasty!

My Chinese friend and I had an early lunch at Best Dim Sum. Very friendly waitress ran the whole place very efficiently. The food was very good, plentiful and reasonably priced. Atmosphere was very clean and nice. I highly recommend it.

if you are familiar with the concept of what a 'sleeper' car is, that is a overly mundane appearing vehicle that is in reality much more capable than it had initially seemed; i feel that is an apt way of describing this restaurant. my mother and i both feel like the dim sum here is definitely a couple grades above the average strip mall Chinese restaurant copy and paste dishes that become unfortunately all too pervasive the deeper one finds themselves in suburbia.
anyways, the entrees are affordable and well portioned, vibe is laid back and owner is nice.
great location, would definitely recommend.

My family and I love this place - it's one of our go-to's for dim sum and other Cantonese dishes. The staff are always very friendly and make sure our needs are always met whenever we dine-in or take-out. Our orders are always fulfilled quickly and the food tastes great.
