Dim Sum Restaurants near Monrovia, CA

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

“Located in a large strip mall, so lots of free parking. They’re tucked away in the corner. Not a lot of tables, but very clean. The food was great and the serving sizes were larger than I anticipated. I’d definitely choose this place over L&L. They have a big food menu and drink menu. I look forward to coming back.“

“LATE MAY 2026 UPDATE:

Incredibly underrated and unassuming Dim Sum place in the heart of SGV. I've been here before and every time there's a line outside, due to the sheer quality of the food and the excellent service. I went in a Friday at around 1:30pm and our server (I think his American name was David, or Daniel, not fully sure) was 10/10. He was hustling, taking orders, bussing plates to the tables and even in the midst of this hectic work dynamic, he was at all times a total pleasure to deal with. Shoutout to him! Also, the food is so amazing: some heavy hitters: Shrimp Har Gow, Shrimp Shiu Mai, Beef Rice Roll, Baked BBQ Pork, Spare Ribs Rice, Sticky Rice Wrap. We ate more items but those are the ones that for sure stand out. 10/10, pls go check it out if you haven't yet.

FEB 2024 REVIEW:

This place is fantastic. The amount of traffic and people it moves, even on a rainy Monday at noon, is a testament to how good the food is. Seating is hard to come by, so you might have to wait outside. The menu is super diverse and you're bound to find something that would fit anyone's tastes or preferences. I went with a friend that's originally from 香港 (Hong Kong) so he was the one making recommendations and helping us pick the right dishes. In no particular order, this is what we tried: Shrimp Har Gow; Beef Meat Ball; Sticky Rice Wrap; Beef Rice Roll; Baked BBQ Pork; Egg Yolk Bun; Spare Ribs Rice; Veggie with Shrimp Egg Roll. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The Shrimp Har Gow, Egg Yolk Bun and the Baked BBQ Pork are three things that stood out to me, but that's just because I have a particularly sweet tooth. Everything else was just as good, though. Highly-recommended place if you're looking to foray into authentic Hong Kong food. Parking is a tad difficult in this shopping Plaza, so please keep that in mind (also, this particular restaurant is in the top left corner of the Plaza, almost at the end of it).“

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

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“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.“

“Food is average, the sesame ball are good though. My only reason why I go here is just for the sesame ball. I tried everything else and it's meh, service are sometimes good and there's times it's bad. I find the place a bit dirty to my liking too, parking is tight as well.“

“The dumplings here are excellent! They have thin wrappers, generous fillings, and amazing flavor. The cold dishes are also incredibly tasty and full of authentic flavor. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The owner is very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back often. Highly recommended!👍👍“

“A tremendously cute little hole in the wall dim sum place. As mentioned previously, this is not a big restaurant where food is brought out: you order at the counter and they bring out food piping hot and freshly steamed. That said, each dish was big restaurant quality and they were even nice enough to let us eat at their sole table there. The dumplings were balanced and well seasoned, and the pastries were tasty (not too sweet!) and well baked. Would absolutely go again.“

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

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

“The food was good, but I wasn’t comfortable with the way the server handled the bowls and plates. I saw hisi hands touch the money, computer surface, and the dirty table. Wearing gloves made me uncomfortable, especially when the server’s fingers touched the inside of the bowl. Other than that, the food was great.“

“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. 😉“

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

“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.“

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

“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.“

“Another new dim sum place to try!

Slightly different flavors on some classics, but everything was very good. Good value. Everything on the front of the menu is $4.88. The back side is $14 (beef chow fun, etc.)

Sorry. No pics this time. I post next time.“

“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!“

“Delicious and flavorful dim sum! Portion sizes are huge! They aren't the little tiny servings at the dim sum restaurants.

It's take out only. And cash is preferred but they take credit cards too.

This is an old school mom and pop place and the owners are super gracious and down to earth! Prices are cheap too!

Go support them!“

“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“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

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

“The restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable, and you can even watch the staff hand-make dumplings, which adds to the experience. The service was warm, attentive, and efficient, even during a busy meal.

If you’re craving authentic Shanghai breakfast or comfort food, this is definitely a place worth coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“amazing food and quality“

“Despite the very long wait, me and my family thought the food was very good and I loved how some meals came with sets and desserts. The atmosphere looked fairly new and nice and despite the lack of service, I thought the workers were pretty nice. We should come back one day.“

“Best authentic dim sum in this area -hands down. They offer special dim sum dishes like scallop shumai in xo sauce and abalone shrimp shumai in xo sauce to name a few. Both were delicious! Serve the traditional dim sum dishes as well which are amazing! Great quality and value. Highly recommend them and tell them I sent you! Cheers!“

“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.“

“I was looking for somewhere to meet up with a colleague for lunch and CP came highly recommended. My colleague did the ordering. I found the taste and selection of dim sum to be one of the highlights. CP does get noisy. Service is excellent. Restaurant comps underground parking.“
