Dim Sum Restaurants near Hacienda Heights, CA

“Still good food! But now with a giant TV on the back wall.

You know I haven't been here in a while. I remember years ago coming here and it was so packed it was crazy. Given how many other dim sum places there are, that's a compliment to their food.

This is also one of the only places you can get the bitter melon noodles.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“WOW where should I even begin?
I was honestly blown away by how delicious everything was!!

We randomly stumbled upon this Dim Sum House while looking for an early morning breakfast. The order was simple, Har Gao, Rice Roll, Bean Curd, and a cup of Vietnamese Iced Coffee.

When we got there, our food was ready for pickup, yet it was still piping hot. Upon checking the content, we can't help but start eating them because they look so good. The size was well portioned, and for the price, I would say it was a decent deal for an amazing meal.

A small tip for the drink, if you like a rather bitter coffee, make sure you ask for less sweetness, but for us it was just right! Can't wait to have this for breakfast again ☺️“

“So glad to know there are other options when you're in the mood for dumplings! We plan to come back to try the rest of the menu! Seeing other patrons ordering items we did not intrigued us so we have to come back and try those items next time!
What we ordered: xiao long bao (buy 1 get 1 free so we ordered pork and pork&shrimp), beef wrap and spicy beef noodle soup. Good! Would order again! But like I said. Gotta try the rest of the menu. 😉“

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

“We’re visiting the area as tourists and randomly stumbled upon this dim sum restaurant nearby. To our surprise, the food was really good! Everything tasted great, the prices were reasonable, and the place had an authentic Hong Kong local vibe. Such a pleasant surprise and definitely worth a visit!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We've been ordering food from Sheng Hui for the longest time. This is absolutely an awesome Dim Sum place. The food quality is comparable to any upper scale Dim Sum restaurants. The only draw back is they only serve takeouts. But if you want to have a relax time at home instead of waiting in long lines at most Dim Sum places, then this is your go to place. They have everything you want for Dim Sum and more.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Came here on a Thursday for some dinner to-go. There were around 2-3 customers when I dropped by around 7pm.

I got a garlic veggie and a crispy noodle. Both were super delicious. The veggie sauce made it just right seasoning. Would definitely come back for some dim sum next time“

“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.“

“Great food and fast service.“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“Everything that we tasted was amazing. The portions were great and it was customizable for my food sensitivities. The server was very kind and attentive. I will definitely visit again on our next visit to Cali. Prices were affordable so it was easy to get a lot and the food was tasty so we ordered extra to go.“

“It is a drive for me, but sooo worth it. Ni c e selection of dimsum, I always order the BBQ pork bun, siomai, shrimp hargow, egg custard, and many more. Most of what I order I don't remember the names (except the ones mentioned) because they have so many items to choose from. Cleaner than most dimsum Ive been to before. Prices have gone up (a little) since Covid, but the flavor has not changed. A once a month treat for me and the kids or whenever I watch Disney's BAO. And... they take cards now, not just Cash. Yeay!!“

“我觉得这边很漂亮，我喜欢有时来这里。“

“If you like dim sum - here is a place for you ! They serve dim sum all day long unlike some other places dim sum is served before 2 pm. In addition to dim sum, they do have some dinner dishes under ‘chef’s recommendation’. We ordered eggplants in garlic sauce - it was really good! Their dim sum is good with fresh ingredients !“

“Monterey Palace Restaurant is a classic Cantonese dining spot in Monterey Park, especially popular for dim sum and large family meals. The restaurant has a big banquet-style dining room that feels lively and busy, especially during weekend brunch.

I stopped by for dim sum, and the variety was impressive. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were fresh and delicate, while the Portuguese egg tarts were warm, flaky, and slightly sweet. I also tried the roast duck, which had crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat.

The portions are generous, making it a great place to share dishes with a group. The service can be a little fast-paced when it’s busy, but the food quality makes up for it.

Overall, Monterey Palace is a solid spot for traditional Cantonese food and dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley. If you’re looking for a classic Chinese banquet-style restaurant, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Wednesday 7/22/26 Lunch at Bloomington VIP Restaurant with my friend Benny. Enjoying dim sum and promotional dishes like lobster with menu and roasted doves.

The service staffs were attentive and worked quickly to serve customers. The restaurant is set up with elegant decor and well lit.

“Very busy on Saturday evening. Go early or there's a wait for tables.
Service is pleasant and fast.
The claim of authentic and exotic regional cuisine is largely delivered.
Of the dishes we tried:
Squab (young pigeon) was on special offer at $9.99 and recommended.
Poached chicken is above average.
Dough Dumpling in chicken soup is exclusive, good to fair.
Both eel hot pot rice and blanched goose intestines are limited by the fact that they are previously frozen, so are a shadow of what could have been. On their own they're good to very good.
Prices are very reasonable.
On the whole will return and firmly recommended.
Many dishes not available elsewhere, so it's an adventure.“

“Pretty good dim sum. Better before the pandemic.“

“We tried their special which is lobster veggie fried rice, but instead of using regular rice, they use sticky rice, most likely Japanese sticky rice. We also tried fried seafood with chili, but a little disappointed since it was not spicy at all. Had to ask for chili oil. Both tasted good. They were good size portion.
Service is satisfactory; servers were helpful, polite, and friendly.
The place is big and clean with nice decors including TV the size of my whole living room.“

“Good for dim sum, excellent for large groups for dinner ordering Chinese food family-style.

Service is good and food is prepared quickly from the kitchen. And per person the price is reasonable. I don’t live here, but we seem to come here at least once or twice when my parents come to visit the grandkids.

Highly recommended.“

“I've always came to Top Island for Dim Sum, but finally get to try it out for dinner. It is my first time at this Rowland Heights location. Great location off Colima and Nogales next to TS Emporium and plenty of parking space.
We came in on a Sunday Evening, not too busy but there were couple large parties celebrating birthdays and such. It has a great menu selection with many authentic cantonese dish including roasted ducks.
I ordered most of the entree from the special menu, very affordable. prices ranges from $8.95 / $10.95 / $11.95 . lunch time comes with rice. .

We ordered : Roasted Duck (half $18.99), BBQ Squab ($18.99), Tomato Beef ($8.95), Eggplant with Spicy Sauce ( $8.95), Galic Boy Choy, Black Bean Sauce Filet, Satay Beef with Vermicelli. ($18.99)
I really enjoted the Satay Beef with Vermicelli, it was not on the speical menu but the portion was great, full of satay flavor on the beef and tasted well with the vermicelli. It is one of my favorite dishes. The other dish were also great in their own way. Just prepare to eat more than one bowl of rice. Especially with the tomato beef. the sauce will get you! Lunch time dine in comes with rice!

Private rooms are also available and they offer wedding and different celebrating hosts. I highly recommend it if you are looking for something affordable and tasty.“

“Some dishes were excellent but most were just okay. I now understand why this very popular place has a 4-star rating.
Har Gow and Cha-shu Bao were my favorites. Taro cake was good. Truffle shumie was okay. Squab was really small and overcooked. Chinese broccoli, just okay. Pork ribs, extremely greasy.
Service was very nice 😀“

“I went with my mom to try out the dim sum and the service was spectacular. Everyone was attentive the minute we got to our seats. We got our food promptly. The dim sum is 3.99 (weekdays) and 4.99 (weekends). They also have a deal for Lobster noodles (21.99) and congee once you order 3 or more dim sum dishes. I would go back but make sure you go early because this place does get busy.“

“I ordered a beef wrap to go. I was looking forward to eat it when I got it. But I was disappointed about the food when I opened it. It's too greasy. The wrap had too much of vinegar in it. The taste of it was so so (some parts were no taste, some parts were to salty and others had strong vinegar taste.) I ate it two nights. I had hard times going number 2 in the morning.“

“I’m updating my previous review after giving Chen Kee another try, and I’m happy to say I noticed a big improvement.

Their congee pot has much better flavor and remains a very generous portion compared with many other places. The wonton noodle soup also has the flavor and ingredients I’ve been looking for. I used to work at a place well known for wontons, and I’ve also made wontons myself for many years, so I’m quite particular about them!

They currently have a promotion where all dishes are $7.77, all day, including lunch and dinner. I honestly don’t know how they do it at that price!

What an improvement from my previous experience. I’m glad I came back and gave Chen Kee another chance.

Best of luck and continued prosperity to Chen Kee!“
