Wow!! What an unexpected pleasure to have found this wonderful dim sum restaurant on a drive through the area. The food is made from scratch and just delicious. The chili oil is the best I've ever had - stir the paste and the oil to create a perfect, slightly crunchy texture - and spoon it over everything! The service was prompt and pleasant. We loved the family atmosphere and the pleasant conversation between tables of patrons. It's not a big spot, but we walked in easily on this Saturday afternoon. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

No need for us to drive to South Sac to get our Hong Kong style Dim Sum. This by far is the "Best Dim Sum" you'll find in the Granite Bay / Roseville area. Lina was super friendly, and the service was great.

Excellent dim sum even on the weekdays hard to find something that good in the area. Lina the owner is great.

I can only review for takeout, but I'll say I was very pleased with my takeout order. Everything was the right temperature and texture despite the travel time. I will warn anyone ordering from door dash that a few of the pictures don't match what the product is, but it is what it is.

Just tried this place and left disappointed. I'm always down for a dim sum place and supporting local business but this is more of a Chinese restaurant than your typical dim sum place. Everything we ordered (chicken feet, shrimp, dumplings, shumai, lotus wrapped sticky rice, golden shrimp rolls) they were either MEH or BLEH because you can tell it was all re-steamed, not freshly made at all. Maybe to some people, this is decent because it's the only dim sum in the neighborhood but for those who has dim sum palette like myself (grew up with dim sum and can tell the difference) SKIP THIS PLACE!

It's about time there's a dim sum place near Roseville. The only Chinese restaurant that has genuine dim sum faire, although the location is in Granite Bay it is a lot closer than driving to South Sacramento. Seating is limited due to the size but they manage to fit 3 large round tables for seating 8; the remaining tables seat 4. Their pork dumplings or siumai are good size, 4 per order. The shrimp dumplings are also good. This dim sum comfort food is tasty and food service is very good. If you have a large group I would call first to make sure they can seat you together. The pricing is competitive.

Never had dimsum before. Place was easy to find. Was seated immediately. Each dim sum was $7.50 & up. I would suggest to try a few or go with a group to split cost. It was alot of food & I was stuffed, went home with leftovers.

Arrived on a Saturday right after they opened and good thing as the place filled up in the next 20 minutes. We were warmly greeted and immediately seated in a roomy booth. It's not a large space but neat and clean as a pin. Nice location in a strip shopping center in Granite Bay on Folsom-Auburn Road. Lots of easy parking. Service was outstanding - quick, friendly, frequent follow-ups and provided at one time or another by all three of the wait staff. We were repeatedly asking if everything was okay and did we need something else. Green tea was served piping hot in a good size tea pot with nice fresh leaves in the pot. Excellent flavor. We ordered the following dishes all at once: Siu Mai - Excellent Beef Meat Balls - okay but lacking flavor - needs a better sauce Egg Tarts - Oh my! Great! Fried Pork Dumpling - Outstanding - great flavor! Fried Shrimp Ball - Outstanding! Shrimp Dumplings - Very Good Steamed Shrimp Rice Noodle - a bit lacking in flavor - needs a better sauce Each dish was served piping hot and fresh from the kitchen as soon as it was ready. We will definitely be adding this as a frequent stop on our personal Flavor Train.
After reading the many positive reviews and because I'm a huge Dim fan we stopped by on a cold, wet March day for lunch. The place has been only open for a year but has an aesthetic that it's been here longer with simple no frills decor. The server was very nice. I ordered my usual Dim Sum staples - bbq pork buns, spare ribs, siu mai, shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice roll. The flavors were very solid but a bit bland and helped by the red chili oil and soy sauce. The baked ciustard pineapple bun was also good. Not sure we'll be back but definitely a solid choice for Dim Sum.

Went back on a weekday for lunch and it was not crowded, what a difference from the holiday dim sum crowd!! There were only two staff members working and both waited on us. I believe it was the owner making the food and also served us along with the waitress. The owner was friendly and engaged in conversation and was very sweet. They were both very patient with us as we stayed for around 2 hours talking. They made sure we had everything we needed. Onto the food. We ordered more dim sum and also wah wonton soup and house chow fun. Both were delicious. I was worried about the wontons because they seemed to have a thick wrap but they were tender and the meat inside was excellent! The chow fun was cooked perfectly and it comes dry but you can request it with gravy as well. I just love this place and will go back often.

Who doesn't like dim sum?!? We were out and about, and rather than trying some of our go to restaurants in Granite Bay, we thought we would give best dim sum a try. The restaurant is located in the shopping center, and feels like it's slightly a step up from a hole in the wall restaurant. We were seated in a comfortable booth, and brought menus and water. We ordered a variety of dim sum, and one dish from the regular menu. The pork buns- these were tasty! They weren't served with any dipping sauce. The bbq pork was tasty, but there wasn't much in the bun. The sesame balls- these are controversial. I love sesame balls. These were too hard to actually enjoy. The filling was good. I've had much better. The bean curd skin rolls- these are filled with pork, beef, and shrimp. We found them to be underwhelming and missing something. Beef chow fun- this was a super generous portion, fresh vegetables, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Large pieces of perfectly cooked beef. Super tasty. Egg tarts- these are a tad underwhelming as well. They were OK, but not anything that I would order again. I love egg tarts, and I found that the crust was overdone, and the tart itself was lacking that custardy egg flavor. Lina is sweet, somewhat reserved, and she runs the front of the house on her own. The food is all made to order, which makes this hole in the wall a good find. We both would rate the overall experience with about 3 1/2 stars. It's difficult to find dim sum in the area, and this is as close as it comes.

This review is for a takeout order. I can't comment on the full service but the lady who brought out my order was very pleasant. A modest mom-and-pop eatery with a bold name located in a strip plaza with ample parking. You can order online and pay when you pick up your order which was very convenient. The order was ready at the scheduled time which is great. This place offers quite a large selection of dim sum items. Although the actual size of the items were a bit smaller than the typical dim sum you find elsewhere, I actually didn't mind it at all because of the thinner wrapper/dough and generous fillings. The fried pork dumplings for example were bite-size but loaded with flavorful fillings. It was one of the tastiest one I have had. Pretty much everything that we orders was very good and up to par. Will definitely be back for more!
