Dim Sum Restaurants near Millbrae, CA

“This place is popular, and understandably so. Menu is limited so they can focus on what they do well. Wontons are great, and the choice of noodle is a plus although we all went for the classic thin egg noodle. Liked seeing stuffed bittermelon on the menu (and eating it too).“

“Excellent HK style Cafe food. Rare to find this kind of attention and preparation these days. Best Baked Pork Chop over Rice in the SF Bay Area!“

“Great consistently tasty food. Good selection of both seafood and non seafood items. My family loves celebrating birthdays here.“

“My family and relatives came to this restaurant. Because we were a big group, we made a RSVP ahead of time and glad we did as this place gets packed quick! The dim sum was great, and the staff was friendly and responsive. I wouldn't mind coming back here in the future.“

“Five of us came to try the $88 set menu for 4-6 people. (I initially thought it was $88 per person and was overly disappointed, but found out later it was $88 for all of us ?).We ended up ordering 3 other dishes, which brought our total closer to $200, but it was not bad. Everyone enjoyed the food.“

“Food, service and prices were OK, you can relax with friends over lunch or dinner and not feel like you needed to pay and get out right after meal. There's always tables available (because the place is large) and no need to take a number and wait. Atmosphere is top notch with high ceiling and feel like you step in a 5 star place.“

“Delicious vegan options include the Scallion Oil Noodles, and the Chongqing Noodles (super spicy, but you can dilute the broth with water and it will stil be the most delicious soup you'll ever have, though it could use extra veggies), the Mapo Tofu Steamed Dumplings are divine, rhe scallion pancakes are flakey and yummy (though a bit oily), and the cucumber salad is refreshing.“

“From the super nice lady that took my order over the phone, to the friendly person at the register, I was impressed by the amazing service.

The food was tasty and fresh- especially all the veggies in our curry and garlic chicken - big pieces of fresh broccoli, carrot, and cabbage. The yellow curry was my favorite. I think I will ask for extra garlic on the garlic chicken next time- I love a lot of garlic.

Can’t wait to return to this hidden gem.“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“The rice rolls I got were so so good. The rice roll itself wasn’t too thick, and they gave me a lot of filling. The meal was also huge! You cannot beat the price; I paid less than $10 for my meal. I would definitely come back. The service is also great, and the food was done incredibly quick. Please support them!!“

“I would love to come back here and try more of the menu! Everything was phenomenal and one of a kind. I’ve never seen a menu like this. Great experience having insanely good food and getting to try new things! We went in a group with a mix of vegans and omnivores ordering off the vegan menu and we all loved everything we got. The flavors of the vegan meat were incredible. I’d rate this 5 stars if I could! 11/10 might be one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-01“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“This is a takeout spot located in a business park, so it can be hard to find. However, their dim sum is pretty good and it's definitely a good value for how much you get. Our favorites are the pork buns and siu mai. The hao gar are pretty good, too. The bean curd is a little hit or miss, but they're packed full of filling. Pickup process is interesting as you ring a doorbell and someone will come bring out your order. They can be flexible with pickup times, though it depends on how many orders they have to fill. Parking can be a pain, but on weekdays it's not much trouble finding a spot along the street.“

“We had a 7-hour layover at SFO and took the 292 bus out to explore. Finding this absolute gem made our trip! Even though it is primarily a takeout spot, the owner saw me traveling with my two kids and incredibly kindly set up a small table and chairs for us so we could eat fresh. They even shared stories about how they freshly make the dim sum every day. The steamed rice noodle rolls with spareribs were outstanding, fresh, and comforting. Incredible food and even better hospitality—a true highlight of our trip. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful family business!“

“The food is tasty and delicious the inside needs a update the service is good it’s not too noisy“

“This place was extremely delicious!
My bf and I tried a variety of buns and dim sum here. The Dim Sum, hands down, was made so beautifully and tasted even more so. The taste was flavorful and simple in a way that felt like home. We also had the bbq pork buns one steamed and one puffed, it was a sweet bbq flavor which I really enjoyed. The service was excellent and they even provided a suggestion of items to try based off what we were ordering. The puffs were light and soft, my bf isn’t much of a bread person so it had a bit much for him.
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for amazing quality dim sum, buns, and friendly service.“

“The food was excellent. Promot service too. Scallion (onion) pancakes are on point! Dumplings are steaming hot off the stove.“

“Authentic dim sum restaurant. We dine in and had some Shuman, shrimp rice noodle roll, and Custard bun. Food was great except the rice noodle roll was too much noodle and not enough shrimp. We ended up getting some more buns and dim sum togo.“

“We went there for Thanksgiving for the first time. As a vegetarian, I can say I had many options, and what I chose was outstanding. My wife and daughter enjoyed their fish and meat dishes and I can honestly say there wasn’t one dish that wasn’t outstanding. I heartily recommend this place and I’m considering going back for Christmas if they’re open.“

“What a gem! I wish that I lived closer so I could try more of the delicious all-vegan dim sum appetizers and entrees. Many are steamed and healthy. This is the perfect place for a group so you can share several dishes. When we visited, no one spoke English so they could not make suggestions or explain the menu items. I'm good with chopsticks but still struggled to cut a big bun; the sweet server brought me a fork and knife. Apparently the main (non-vegan) restaurant is closing after decades in business because its lease was not renewed. Hopefully Sassy will find another home but you may want to visit soon in case it doesn't. Updated from previous review on 2026-10-15“

“I’ve been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times have been excellent.

I actually think this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in SF thus far. The seafood is live and fresh.

Their desserts are delicious.

The service is also very thoughtful and attentive here.“

“We had a wonderful experience the staff was friendly and the food was amazing. It was our first time having dumplings and they were so good we had the soup dumplings and the pork with Napa cabbage they were juicy inside and the outside was slightly chewy. We also had the chicken chow mein which my husband devoured the noodles were soft and chewy pretty sure they were hand made and you can taste it. I’m sad we don’t live closer we would be eating here often. We were in town for the weekend and wanted a new experience and we definitely had one at this family owned restaurant. It was a pretty busy place with many food delivery people coming in so it must be very popular on the apps too. 10/10 would recommend“

“Delicious food, and great value. Some areas for improvement: the music is way too loud and really random (recent pop music mixed with 1960’s old music), and the service is slow because only 1 woman is waitressing all the food tables plus working the kitchen and handling final payments, while the other person is useless and does nothing. Please lower the music.“

“This is the best freaking Chinese food/dim sum with an amazing price point. MY FAVORITE SPOT!! I used to go to city college and their dim sum would let me get so much food for cheap, and keeping me fed throughout the whole day I would have at school. I love it there and they make everything authentic every morning it’s so bussin.“

“More of a restaurant for individual meals than for family style. Prices are quite high for some more simple dishes like $20 for string beans is a little steep. I also found it weird that their Dandan noodles were hot.

Their bento boxes and beef noodle soup look good though, and I'll definitely try those in the future.“

“It’s more like cafeteria style. It’s a bit too casual for me because it’s a dim sum place. You walk up to a screen and punch the items you want and then tap to pay and you pick an available table and the waiter will bring your food from the kitchen. Everything is paper-plated or plastic containered.

Now the positive, the food has a very Cantonese culture to it. I had spareribs over rice, a rice wrap thing, and some real pork buns.

And, oh, no hot tea. All cold and sweetened teas in a bottle.“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“Ordered the sweet and sour pork, the pork was moist and tender. Also ordered pork pot stickers were they were very tasty too. The two lady's that greeted me were very sweet and friendly.
I was staying at the Hampton Inn, across the street. It was nice to find great food so close by.🥰“

“We’ve been heading over to The Night Market for the past few years! The classics are all good, Hainan Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, minced Beef over rice. But if you want to try something unique to The Night Market try the Longan Crispy Pork over rice. I can’t imagine a dish that so uniquely represents the Asian American experience. Finish it off with a mango Sago!“

“It’s really a to go place but surprisingly they offer a kitchen that will take orders and even customize your order. The staff is very nice and friendly. A few IYKYK things 1) It’s one of the rare places that still make mochi desert. They have a pineapple version and a peanut version. Both are really good. 2) Their bolo “pineapple” buns are also pretty good and they have it in a dedicated space with heat lamp. 3) they make soy milk from scratch. And it’s delicious.“

“Recently renovated and updated, the new owners have done a wonderful job with this place. Quick, easy but delicious food ready to go. Pan Asian with a mix of Hawaii is what you’ll be treated to at this quaint spot tucked away in Vis Valley.

Definitely recommend giving them a visit if you’re in or around the neighborhood.“

“Sweet Delight Bakery in Excelsior is one of those hidden SF gems that still feels authentic. Great prices, huge selection, and some of the best dim sum takeout in the neighborhood. Everything comes out fresh, quick, and packed with flavor without the tourist pricing you see elsewhere in the city. The siu mai, pork buns, and sesame balls are always a go-to. Perfect spot when you want quality dim sum without spending a fortune. Friendly staff and classic old-school bakery energy too 🥟✨“

“My favorite style of food growing up is Hong Kong cafe style, so to have Inshou close to home is a treat! A regular order is the baked spaghetti bolognese and brick toast (with condensed milk and peanut butter). Topping it off with a HK milk tea makes it perfect! The staff are super friendly and they remember us, and we’ve hardly ever had to wait for a table. Service is fast as well.“

“I ordered take out from the website but the restaurant didn’t get the order. They were able to make to food with 20 minutes. The food was pretty good. The salty fish chicken fried rice was good quality. Portion is just right. The restaurant was quite empty, I think they need to do more promotions to attract new customers. I would definitely order takeout from them again and hope the quality will stay consistent.“

“Reliable dim sum restaurant in Westlake. At this spot, you can simply order your items from a menu rather than wait for servers to come around to your table. I do prefer the traditional serving experience, but it's great getting all the items you're craving without having to wait! Definitely try new items to take advantage of the ordering system.“

“點心新鮮熱辣👍👍👍 小菜價錢大衆化👍👍出品普遍色、香、味齊😋😋😋“

“I really loved eating their delicious food and desserts“

“If you’re looking for the ultimate comfort food in San Francisco, you have to try the Fried Sticky Rice (生炒糯米飯) at Golden Coast Restaurant (1540 Ocean Ave). It is perfectly chewy, savory, and loaded with the best toppings crunchy fried peanuts, fresh scallions, and thin ribbons of egg that make every bite a textural dream. It’s the kind of dish that feels like a hidden neighborhood secret where the quality is consistently delicious and the portion is incredibly satisfying for the price. They are open every day from 10:30 AM to around 8:30 PM (and as late as 9:30 PM some nights), so you can drop in for a late breakfast, a solid lunch, or a full dinner. I’m already planning my next trip back just to have this again, but it’s definitely a dish that’s even better when shared who’s coming with me to grab a table and dive into a massive bowl of this sticky rice?“

“For dinner, the foods were ok. Service was mediocre at best. Also, parking (street only) can be horrible during weekends and holidays.“

“Good dim sum, Peking duck, and seafood.“

“A Peninsula standby for Cantonese roast meats and dim sum in Belmont. The barbecue pork and roast duck over rice are the orders, the dim sum list runs from siu mai to xiao long bao, and the combo plates stay generous for the price. Open daily through dinner, with a second shop now in San Mateo. Thank you for feeding the neighborhood right. Five stars.“
