Dim Sum Restaurants near Monrovia, CA

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

“I was looking for a Hawaiian bbq place to eat for lunch. And I stumbled across this place on google. I ordered the Monday special “Bbq chicken and shrimp”. It definitely hit the spot. So delicious and flavorful. I recommend this spot as being your next lunch spot.

Thank you! 😊“

“Hands down BEST dim sum I've had in a long time.
The host is amazing, with incredible customer service.
The house Chili-Garlic sauce, is to die for, I wish I could take some with me.
The Har Gao is EXCEPTIONAL, the amount of shrimp packed in there is unbelievable. The wrapper is the best I've had, it just melts in your mouth
The pan fried Chive cakes, loved the texture
Chicken Feet...yumm, just try it, you won't be disappointed 😋
The steamed fermented rice sponge cake was very interesting.
This is definitely on my list when I come back to LA.“

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

“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.“

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

“it was very affordable, only we couldn't resist ordering more because it was all delicious. everything we tried was harmonious. except the egg cheese buldak ramen wrap, although that could have been expected. we ate lunch here, and came back the same day for dinner because it was too good.“

“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.“

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

“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 ☺️“

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

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

“We enjoyed the food so much! And the portions are so generous. Everything was absolutely great, waiters are super nice and fast. Popcorn chicken was great, the beef rolls are spectacular and the mango drink is very generous and yummy. I really only have good words, this is easily the best Taiwanese restaurant in the area :)“

“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. 😉“

“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!!“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“If you’re looking for a restaurant with delicious food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service, this is definitely the place to visit! Every dish we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and worth every penny. The staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the overall dining experience is consistently excellent. We always leave with full stomachs, big smiles, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“9am Monday morning, hoping for fresh choices; 2 items. Siu Mai and egg custard bun total 12.33 including tax:
Price point 9/10 good price point

Siu Mai 9/10
1 order: 4pcs; large portion, good flavor and texture, presentation not the best but the flavor is more important.

Egg custard bun 6/10
1 order: 3 pcs good portion size, flavor and texture, bun was hard , custard was too liquid.“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

“This dim sum restaurant inside a hotel has an elegant, upscale feel. I enjoy the quieter atmosphere, which makes it a relaxing place to eat. The dim sum is beautifully made and delicious. The only downside is that it costs more than a typical Chinese restaurant, but I still enjoy coming here.“

“amazing food and quality“

“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!“

“Service was accommodating but communication was difficult as only a few could understand English.
Food is good, may not be to my experience in HK restaurants.
Would come back without hesitation as I hardly cook anymore 😕“

“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.“

“I grew up eating here and the food is still so tasty. I love coming here for family dinners. It’s perfect for sharing and trying so many dishes. I enjoyed the stir fried veggies, oyster clay pot, crab fish maw soup and beef chow fun. The servers are very friendly and the restaurant is very spacious.“

“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!!“

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!“

“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.“

“我觉得这边很漂亮，我喜欢有时来这里。“

“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.

“Quick, polite service and carts move around. Dim sum 4 plus on weekends. Eight steamers came to 50 plus tax and tip. Servers get for you what’s not in the carts yet if it’s in the kitchen. 2/person tea charge. Lobsters for 16.99 are very small though and 29.99 crab deal also not big. Duck special is alright but is worth two stamps. Place is packed on Sunday and waited about five minutes for a table.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious really really good. I’ve been here a few times already and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a small mountain pop shop and the ladies that serve the food really nice. I am not from Asia, but they make me feel like my mama is serving me food.“
