Dim Sum Restaurants near Hayward, CA

“The food is authentic and really delicious and well-flavored. The portion size for some dishes are relatively small for their price. But other than that, the staff members were extremely helpful and kind. It's not so busy when we visit so the atmosphere was okay as well. Would visit again.“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

“Sweet family-owned restaurant. This place is called Elite Dumpling for a reason!! Get their dumplings.

I see people on here complaining about the other food, but you’re not trying the best stuff. Food is delicious and comes out very fast.

I recommend their potstickers, chili oil wontons, all the dumplings, salt and pepper pork chops, and walnut shrimp.

They even give you free goodies when you order over $30, $50, and $100. In this economy, it’s impressive. Thank you for being a neighborhood staple!“

“As part of of a group who orders via App called Too Good to Go( $saving on local daily food, beverages, baked goods etc so not to waste food) : Dim Sum House in San Lorenzo 6.99 +tax=$7.71.

Pork buns were perfect & though dumplings seems small, packed with good flavor! Dim Sum House“

“This cozy breakfast spot specializes in Shanghainese comforts. Service is brisk and no-nonsense. We ordered a few staples — wontons, noodle soups and xiaolongbao — all of them competent and satisfying.

The pork kidney noodle soup is a rarity in the United States, though here the kidney is cut thick and left unstir-fried, so it contributes less flavor to the broth than it could. It is better treated almost as a side than as an integral part of the soup. The xiaolongbao are tasty, if more rustic in appearance than the finely pleated versions served at more polished places like Din Tai Fung.

Still, this is an honest, unfussy restaurant well worth returning to.“

“Finding high-quality dim sum delivery that doesn't arrive soggy or smashed is rare, but Dim Sum SL absolutely nailed it. Everything was packaged securely, arrived piping hot, and stayed completely intact during transit. If you are looking for the best dim sum takeout in the area, this spot is highly efficient.

The food breakdown:

Shrimp and Chive Fried Dumplings: Easily the highlight of the order. The wrapper had a perfect, crispy golden fry to it without being oily at all. The filling was incredibly flavorful, packed with fresh chives and plump shrimp.

Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow): Excellent execution. The translucent dumpling skin had the perfect chew and didn't tear when picking them up. Inside, they use actual high-quality, whole choice pieces of snap-fresh shrimp instead of a filler paste.

Pork and Shrimp Dumplings (Siu Mai): A classic done right. These were savory, juicy, beautifully seasoned, and packed tight with a great balance of pork and shrimp flavor.

Fried Buns: The buns had a good chewy texture—crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The dough has a subtle, mild sweetness to it that pairs perfectly with the savory interior ingredients.

It is incredibly impressive to get restaurant-quality dim sum delivered right to your door without losing any freshness or texture. Everything tasted great. Highly recommended!“

“A wonderful pasty store I found accidentally. I got chicken dumplings and beef and onions stuffed pancakes from the frozen section to make at home. They also have ready made food you can enjoy immediately.
If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. The place is very friendly.“

“The best XLB I ever had. The thickness of the exterior dumpling that holds the delicious pork soup mixture inside is the perfect balance where you can gently and carefully pull it apart from the parchment paper it sits upon without tearing and spilling everywhere, and it is not too soft, not too hard, but perfect. Only someone with a masterful and skilled hand could have done this, and the Chef takes confidence and pride in their dumplings, looking through the glass to see our reaction of that first bite, eagerly awaiting for the joy inside to let loose into a smile and a laugh. I pray that this place never goes out of business. The staff was friendly enough, the environment was clean enough, the decor was cute and simple, there is one restroom, very well stocked and clean, and smells kind of like the very first Yugioh starter pack kit, back when it was just Yugi and Kaiba starter decks. I also had a refreshing berry drink that was worth it. We got XLB classic and crab, pan fried soup dumpling, and the very delicious fresh pea leaves which was worth it's price fully in satisfaction of flavor, vibrantness, and freshness. The flavor of their vinegar and chilli was also not cheap or lacking, but very good in spice level and flavor and vinegariness, which isn't a word, I know, but like come on. This place is so so so good. I need to go again.“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“This place was stupid good!

Rec from a friend and my in laws were so impressed I took them here.

I asked my friend what to get and he said “anything” and really everything we had was great.

Service was fast, dinner for 4 with leftovers was a hundo.

Would happily return.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Fang Kee Claypot Rice in Newark! The three-item braised platter with pig feet, pork stomach, and pork tongue was the highlight—everything was flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. The signature eel claypot rice was delicious, with fragrant rice, savory sauce, and crispy bits at the bottom. The mushroom chicken claypot rice was also tasty and a milder option.

If you’re dining with two people, ordering the large size is a better value and makes it easier to share. Just note that the vegetable dishes can be a little pricey—the garlic stir-fried choy sum was $16. Overall, a great East Bay spot for comforting Chinese claypot rice and braised dishes.“

“First time back since it reopened with new owners.

Pros:
All food items were delicious! Had their own take on our favorites, chili wontons and cucumber salad. Both amazing! Tried a new dish, beef rolls, which had cucumber and cilantro. Very good.

Cons:
Atmosphere is just not cozy at all!! No music or background noise so it was dead silent, just hearing people breathe and clank plates. New lighting is too cold, they added hanging white fluorescent lights, they’re too low and a visual eye sore. A warmer light, higher up might be better. Also the table set up is horrific. All tables pushed together weirdly like Tetris, while the front is empty and doesn’t have a welcoming host desk/area.“

“The place is clean and bright. The food was delicious and service was prompt and friendly. I love that there is plenty of parking and while the restaurant was about half full while we were there, it was quiet enough for my friend and me to have a good conversation without feeling like we have to shout or lean across the table to hear each other. Will be coming back for sure!“

“Still pretty good after the remodel. Great service including changing out our plates twice during dim sum which I did not expect. They constantly came over and took away plates. The items I thought very average include ham sui gok too much dough and not enough filling. Shrimp dumplings and Xiao mai and chang fun were ok. The chau siu puffs, malay sponge cake, and beef organs and offal were all excellent.“

“Whole in the wall with very tasteful and authentic dimsum and more, our go to place. Very affordable prices and variety of selections. Chef’s little girl is so cute, and already very good customer service attentiveness at a young age. Highly recommended to try this place out!“

“Very yummy. Only purchased 1/2 duck since it's just me eating. It could be more heavily seasoned, but I personally like it light. The price is fair in this area.

I'm usually at work during their entire operating hours, or can only come at closing, so it was nice to see the duck available today. No turnip cake though. :(

The ladies here are always get you squared away politely and promptly. That's good, because I was starving! Haha.
No dining, only takeout“

“Delicious food and great dinner service! I want to try every dish on the menu. Everything is seasoned to perfection and the price is right. I loved the salted pepper ribs and honey walnut shrimp. Had a great time and looking forward to trying their dim sum!“

“This is a massive restaurant with a sea of tables and some private party rooms. It sometimes feels more like a giant ballroom than a restaurant. They also have a bakery next door. The food and the service are very good!
Overall, we had a very good experience.“

“Always good. I come here to eat whenever I'm in the area. Best canto food and in a clean and nice location with plenty of parking. Is located in the parking lot of a business area, which I find kind of weird but totally awesome for the fact that it's easily accessible.

This place also serves dim sum thoughout the day, which is a total plus in my opinion because most places don't serve them some past 2:00 p.m.

The dim sum is actually pretty legit and traditional. You can get pretty busy during lunch time, but it moves pretty quickly.“

“Delicious donuts and hopia at a reasonable price😋“

“The food here was AMAZING! The service was very quick and all of the waitstaff were extremely kind and welcoming. I don't have any pictures to include because my friends and I ate it so quickly after it came out! Would highly suggest this as a dimsum spot for people to come eat!“
