Dim Sum Restaurants near Monrovia, CA

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

“I was visiting with my Mom the other day, and we were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat. I am very glad we stopped here! They have a lot of choices, and we both ordered the mixed Hawaiian BBQ meals. It arrived in a disposable container, and it was full to the brim with meat, rice, macaroni salad, and vegetables. So delicious, and enough for both of us to take home for dinner. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are very generous, and most of all, delicious!“

“Waited about an hour, totally worth it!

We had har gow, shu mai, beef rice roll, baked bbq pork bun, fried chicken dumpling. Our favorite was the beef rice roll and baked bbq pork bun! The bun is so buttery and the bread by itself is so yummy.“

“A no frills dumpling house. Staff is friendly and attentive, food is fresh and delicious.

Great for large groups or solo

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to navigate if mobility is a challenge. Wide open floor.“

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

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

“Came by for the first time on 04/22/24 during the morning hours while vacationing on CA. I ordered online to pick up my order, the place is small but very clean inside, the prices are a bit high compared to what I am used to, food tasted good and they had a lot of items in their menu. The service was pretty quick and they got my order right. I will definitely be returning back if I am again in the area.“

“Best dim sum I’ve had since living in the Bay! Everything made me go yummmm! Soft pillows of goodness they call Coconut buns were divine! Soup dumplings, pork buns, lotus balls, egg yolk buns, all fresh, tasty, not greasy, just ahmazing!Only 3 stars atmosphere because it is simple, take away focused. Which is fine. Clean and light. I think there is seating that was blocked off behind screen - maybe because there is construction in parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Owner offered my kiddo a free OJ while we waited (5 min) for our order. Plenty of options for non-adventurous eaters.“

“My family and I were looking to pickup Dim Sum in San Gabriel on the way home to eat on the go. After a quick google search Dim Sum Box was the perfect stop. It was clean, the food looked fresh from a limited menu, but the taste was awesome! Both steamed and baked BBQ pork buns were great, the Shumai had very good ingredients, spare ribs were delicious, and they have congi!

For desserts we finished with the baked custard, sesame balls and the steamed custard buns is a must! Friendly service and reasonably priced food was a win-win. We're planning on a second visit next time we're in the area.

The parking situation is the only challenge so brace yourself for that.“

“We came here for the all you can eat dim sum on a weekday. It was not very crowded so we had excellent service. I am not sure it was worth around 26 dollars because the menu is limited compared to other dim sum places. The food we got was good but not superb. It's disappointing that there are no pictures of menu items. For example the "snow capped" pork buns turned out to be green colored buns, not as spectacular as the description. I would go here again only if you're a big eater and are Ok with the limited selection. Update I just saw the previous review with a much bigger menu. Either that was only on the weekend or it was not AYCE, our menu was only one page.“

“Parking is horrible. You have to quickly turn in the parking lot off Garfield, but you have to go slow, or you will miss it the entrance. Order window is right on Garfield Blvd. On really busy days, they run out of food fast. Everything I have ordered has been delish. Just don't l like that they close by 5:30pm and you have to have cash. Food, price, and amount are 👍👍😁

Wheelchair accessibility: yes“

“Dined in today. Highly recommended. This restaurant was first established in 1931 (almost 1 century ago!!) Fantastic food and very hygienic! I knew the business owner and his wife for years, and they are all germophobes (me too. That is why I'm so serious about hygiene in restaurants!) Xiao Long Bao, Won Ton, and BBQ ribs are all must-tries!!!“

“My go to place for Dim Sum on my commute home from SGV to Orange County. They got your fan favs and the prices are somewhat reasonable - compared to some LA Chinatown spots, $5 per dish seems a bit high. Their food taste great so I really can't complain. Place looks clean inside but it can be hot and stifling during the summer. No dine in, strictly togo.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“Glad to discover another nice Taiwanese restaurant around LA. Very hospital staff. The beef noodle soup is certainly their specialty - unique thick al dente noodles, very tender tendons (chunks of beef not so much), interesting broth with herbal accents. Impressed by their shrimp & pork dumplings - the pork portion was probably fulfilled by the filing of XLB on the menu, which made the dumplings very pleasantly juicy; just wished the wrapper were thinner. In all, don’t expect anything extraordinary, but great value and certainly above peers.“

“The dim sum a la carte were large portions.

Easy to order. You go to your table and there is a sheet with picture of the food item and you mark your quantity. Food was fast. I like this serving concept better - you don’t have to flag dim sum cart to your table.“

“One of these days, I'll be smart enough to take photos of what I eat. When I come back, cuz I will come back, I'll be better about taking pictures of the food. I came here on the recommendation of Kristy Hang, who posted about it on her instagram. I had the shu mai, har gow, wok fried turnip cake, and a pot of wonderfully perfumed Jasmine tea. The waitress was kind enough to offer me a to-go cup for the remainder of the tea in the pot. I would not have known to ask for it. So I'm grateful to her. There is easy parking in the lot. Highly recommend this place.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“I was craving dim sum, so I thought I was going to a traditional teahouse. It is take-out only. The pepper steamed chicken feet was very good. The beef tripe was just the right texture, a little crunch left, and the ginger flavor just right. The pork ribs were perfect, too. It would have been nice to have a table and some good tea. I ate these in my car.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“the decor of the style presented as the restaurant is welcoming and inviting which was why my family who frequents this restaurant often with her friends recommended this place to me too“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“This restaurant was a go to place for my mom in the early morning cuz it opened at 8 am. The dim sums was decent but it lacked varieties so choices were limited. Almost all dim sums costed $5.28 per dish except few bbq n special items.

Parking: During weekend around lunch time, it was difficult to find parking nearby the restaurant.“

“Our family loves Mama Lu's Dumpling House! We love the joicy pork dumplings, the green onion pancakes, the noodles, and the green beans. The food is served quickly, is hot and very tasty. The service is always great...quick and friendly.“
