Dim Sum Restaurants near San Bruno, CA

“BEST coconut chicken hotpot I’ve ever had in the bay!!!!!
The soup was made with fresh coconut - they cracked the coconut and added the coconut water into our soup. We could also eat the coconut meat inside - it was so fresh.
And then they added chicken - the soup was just HEAVENLY. As a person who is from the region where coconut chicken was originated, I 100% approve its authenticity!!
And the price was soooo good too - $35 per person!“

“This place is fantastic. The food was incredible and was exactly what you want when you think to yourself “I want some dumplings”. We had the chicken and pork xiao long bao, Brussel sprouts, green onion pancakes, ginger and scallion noodles, bbq pork steamed dumplings, and siu mai. Of course had to finish it off with sesame balls which were amazing. Everything was superb and came out piping hot. Service was unbelievably fast. Our server forgot our tea and the dipping vinegar but when I mentioned it, it was quickly remedied. I highly recommend stopping in!!“

“Out of all the dumpling places in the city, this place is among one of the best. And I can even say it’s better than dumpling home at Hayes valley. Potsticker and Shengjianbao are extremely juicy and fresh. The big plate pork ribs is phenomenal. Price is extremely good for the city. Highly recommend!!!!“

“This place was soooo delicious. Service was exceptional, they were very attentive and answered all our questions. The dining atmosphere is quite beautiful. We will be coming back again!!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available“

“I popped in for a quick lunch on a Monday, there was only one other table seated so no wait. I thought about going for one of the lunch specials, but dumplings aren't on there (think traditional US Chinese dishes like General Tso's). I ordered the Shanghai Dumplings and the Wontons in Peanut Chili oil, for a whole $14. The shanghai dumplings were nothing special, but a great price point. The wontons were great, the sauce had good texture.
For a drink, he just set down hot tea in a disposable coffee cup which I found odd considering I was dining in.

All in all, super fast, super cheap, and solid food.“

“This place has the best crispy bbq pork buns. It's not really a dim sum but that and the mochi buns were the best things they have in my opinion. They usually sell out by 10am or even earlier but you can call it in and it takes them 20-30 minutes to make it.“

“It’s so delicious I came to Sanfan for a conference trip and lived in this community. What I look forward to most every morning is to go to his house for breakfast. It has a more authentic morning tea and has everything. It’s so happy for the treasures from the Midwest.“

“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.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“The prices are super affordable, making it perfect for a casual meal or a quick to go. Their siu mai is absolutely unbeatable—perfectly steamed, juicy, and packed with flavor. The rest of the dim sum menu is equally delicious, with a great variety of classic options. If you’re looking for authentic dim sum without breaking the bank, this is the spot to go. Highly recommend! Plus it has a great bakery next door to it which makes me always come back.“

“When I'm in the Sunset District in San Francisco, I like to pick up some bao at Mongkok Dim Sum before I go home. They were busier a few years ago, but the line is much shorter now compared to a few years ago after a competitor opened in the area. Their dim sum is still good, and the service is pretty much the same as before. Fast and easy is good for me. I’ll still stop by next time I’m in the area.“

“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.“

“Great flavors come off the woks at Nan King Road Bistro. The whole menu is worth ordering.“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“Beautiful dinning room, food was only so so. It was expensive, but that’s everywhere nowadays.“

“Support small businesses!

Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too!

Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“TC Pastry is one of the best take away Dim Sum place in the Sunset district. Especially, the service is professional, staff very attentive, and customer oriented. The food is good, price is competitive. If you buy cilantro rolls that they do not have at the counter, they will make them for you, only about 5 minutes wait.“

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

“The food was authentic, very affordable prices compared to other dim sum spots in San Mateo. I arrived at 12pm and there were plenty of seats, but the place quickly filled up afterward. There are two menus. I don't know why. I would grab both because some things I usually get are in the other menu.“

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

“Soooo good!! The cumin lamb and mandarin eggplant are my favorites, but it’s hard to choose! Service is impeccable and the flavors are great. Also prices are very fair - $10 soju cocktails!

Definitely some of the best Chinese food in the mission.“

“Another hole-in-the-wall, underrated but great tasting Northern China food restaurant in Bay area. Hidden away in an alley, minimal decor serving unpretentious noodle, soups, and Chinese pancakes and a lot more. If you're in the neighborhood, you need to give this place a try.?? *They serve most foods in takeout containers. Bypass this and focus on the food. I had to learn this ?“

“The BEST food we have ever had. Astonishing.
Get the sesame chicken and the pork bao buns. We came in 45 minutes before close and they were very accommodating. Please do yourself a favour and come here. A definite must eat at. Once again, astonishing.“

“It’s called Happy Bakery but it’s mostly Dim Sum and food to go. I don’t eat much veggies but they have the best string bean chicken with tofu. This is a must-try! Dim Sum on the other side is also good with their Siopao & Sesame Balls. An order of combination over rice was only $6 but I guess inflation got in the way. Still worth coming for those string bean! 😋😋“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“Our favorite spot to go for quick meals! We get takeout from Hing Wang at least once a week. The aunties are kind and their cooking is very authentic and tasty, and the price is cheap too. My favorite dishes are the curry chicken, chicken drumstick, and fried dumpling!“

“Had a lovely dinner here with my family—food and service were both great! Very solid dishes all around, but what really got me were the sweet and sour pork (which had a really good meat to batter ratio), taro sago (the best I’ve had in soo long!! Generous portions of taro in each bowl) and to my surprise the Chinese donuts (which I usually don’t like, but they were so soft, light and tasty).

I’m already looking forward to the next time my family gathers here for dinner :)“

“My family has been supporters of this place since before the pandemic, and their food is a staple in our household. They have great steamed buns (personally, I like the dai bao/big bun the most). While their prices have gone up, it's still very reasonable and the food is delicious!“

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

“The food here is delicious. I like to eat this dandan noodles the most, the noodles have a little bit of QQ. The xiaolongbao here are delicious.

It's also very beautiful here, with many cat paintings.

I will definitely come again next time.“

“We grew up with a lot of chinese cuisines in southeast asia- teochew, hakka, hainam, foochow, hokkien, cantonese.

And while vacationing in San Francisco, after sunday mass at the Mission Basilica, we stumbled upon the New Red Jade and decided to have some chinese for sunday lunch.

Very nice boss and family. Very welcoming. Restaurant is clean.

We ordered the Lemon Chicken and String Beans, white rice for 2. Generous portions!!!

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Tastes wholesome, like home 😍 lemon chicken is a dish we have back home, but back home it is cooked with various chicken parts like thighs etc, and we even have orange chicken versions.. BUT nevertheless the lemon chicken here is prepared with breast meat, and is crunchy and not dried out... which makes is very yummy.

We saw many families and friends dining there, and we hope many more people will go to the New Red Jade and give them a try. If you dont know what to order, try what we've ordered.. ☺️

Will definitely come back when we visit SF again! Thank you laupan (boss) and family and team for preparing these dishes and for feeding us these delicious food. Keep it up! Jia yu! 🫶“

“You know what makes a great city like San Francisco work? It's the thousands upon thousands of ordinary folks who work diligently everyday to make a living and provide food and services for everyone else.

And those are found in the neighborhoods, the small pockets of business zones among residential homes scattered all over the city. This small hole-in-the-wall joint is a testament to the organic nature of small businesses that makes a great city.

Sweet Delight is a consistent food place that serves up hot meals, from pre-made Chinese food, dim sums and pastries day in and day out with much reliability and with sincerity.

The staff is cordial enough and do their best to be hospitable, the prices are reasonable that you get your money's worth and the food turns over often enough that it is consistently fresh.

Support your neighborhood places to keep the community healthy and vibrant.“

“Their Chinese food (meal) & pastries.“

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

“We loved just about everything we ordered here but I can only specifically remember (other than the pork ribs) that the buns were pork and the shumai were shrimp because otherwise we really just pointed at the items we wanted and ate without worry. We sat outside and food came out almost immediately. Definitely will be back.“

“Been coming here for many years. Hole in the wall spot with big portions and affordable prices! They have pretty much everything you could think of in a typical Chinese restaurant. They serve dim sum in the morning. $3 rice noodles and $2 small porridge is such a steal. I recommend calling to place an order since parking is limited. My favorite would have to be their Mongolian Beef. It's slightly spicy and packed with flavor.

“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!“

“Had lunch there with few friends that had not seen in few years. One of the few places that serve porridge. N bake beef tongue over rice. Taste is average but the price is reasonable. Serve was really good n friendly. Good place to get together n visit n eat. Will come back again.“

“We came here to celebrate mother’s days. Their food is very good. Service is a hit or miss. Their portions are getting a little bit smaller but the food is still very good. We usually order: shrimp with walnut, Crispy fried Chicken with Shrimp Chips, peasprouts & garlic, sweet and sour fish, broccoli mushroom and beef (yummy), and a claypot with eggplant. I would definitely come back .“

“Good food a little expensive“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Been here many times for dinner, they’ve a vast menu that includes a lot of authentic Chinese cuisine. The service was great and food was good.

Vegetarian options: Non-meat options available

Parking: Parking throughout the area

Wheelchair accessibility: Double doors for easy wheelchair access“

“A small Chinese restaurant that specializes in dumplings, it's my roommate's favorite place in San Francisco. I'm a pretty big fan of their wonton noodle soup, I recommend one big spoonful of Sriracha into it and remove all of the bok choy. I've also had the spicy wontons and the spicy dumplings, both of those are really fantastic and have a Szechuan kick to them. The store itself is a little rundown, but it's nice to be right next to the kitchen and you can see what they're up to. It's in a strange part of town to get to, especially from the University campus, but it's worth it. You can also get take out from here, and it goes really well even after delivered. The dumplings can get a bit soggy though, and we once ordered some stuff and they got the orders wrong, unsure if that was the restaurant or the delivery app.

Vegetarian options: You can find things that are vegetarian on the menu, but it's not strictly labeled.

Dietary restrictions: I would definitely be wary if you have a peanut allergy

Parking: There's some street parking, but since it's also near a bus stop and some other pretty popular shops, it's almost impossible to find parking at popular times during the day. And it's all paid

Kid-friendliness: Somewhat kid friendly restaurant, I don't think there's anything specific about it that appeals to children though. It's good food though

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is not accessible, though you could try really hard to get in there and to a table. But there is a step to get into the restaurant and pretty narrow doors that have very fast closers. And I'm not sure about the table heights being suitable for wheelchairs“

“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!“

“I recently had the chance to check out Yan Peninsula in Millbrae, and overall, it was a refreshing and flavorful experience. The restaurant is located right on El Camino Real, and while parking was a little tight (as it always seems to be around here), I lucked out with a spot in their small lot.

The inside feels modern and clean – it’s a bit more upscale than your typical dim sum joint, with no carts roaming around. Instead, you fill out a paper checklist, which I actually preferred because it meant everything came out fresh and hot.

We ordered a mix of the classics and a few house specials. The baked BBQ pork buns were absolutely delicious – crispy outside with sweet, savory pork inside. The shrimp siu mai with roe was solid, and the texture was just right. A surprise standout was the salted egg yolk lava buns – rich, creamy, and perfect as a dessert.

The only slight miss for me was the BBQ rice noodle rolls – the texture was a bit too thick and gummy, but not a dealbreaker.

Service was friendly, though a bit slow during peak lunch hours. We had to flag someone down a couple times for tea refills and to check on a missing order, but everyone was polite and helpful once we got their attention.

Pricing is on the higher side – we were a group of four and ended up with a $100+ bill (including a 15% service charge). Still, for the quality and clean, relaxed atmosphere, I felt it was worth it.

Final thoughts: Yan Peninsula feels like a great option if you’re craving dim sum but want a cleaner, more modern experience without the chaos of traditional push-cart spots. I’d definitely go back – maybe on a weekday to avoid the crowds.“

“Very tasty Chinese food option-we often come here for dine in and takeout. Our most recent order was the salted egg shrimp (so good!), sweet and sour pork, chicken e-min, salted fish and chicken fried rice and pan fried string beans. Overall the quality is consistent, and ordering for takeout is easy. Dining in is also a nice experience with many tables. Service is good and it’s a nice place to meet with friends and family. Highly recommend!“
