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!“

“Assorted bao was fabulous. Please open a location in Minneola!!!“

“Best first time experience ever!!! Had a group of 5 and we called in advance and they were so accommodating. Food was delicious and service was fast. We met the owner/chef and he was so kind to us. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!“

“Vegan & non vegan options all STUNNING, delicious, big portions! Beautiful, simultaneously grand and cozy interior- or take your food to go and enjoy in the community garden (the green between) around the corner if you happen to stop by during the garden hours (fri-sun 8am-3pm)“

“Great dumpling restaurant, reminded me of going to dim sum, but with larger portions! They had a large selection marked with a green dot for Vegan. 💚

Absolutely loved the bean curd salad, the garlic noodles, the veggie bun, and the red bean pancake!

Super duper nice staff, took really good care of us!“

“This was the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had in my entire life, and that’s saying something cause I’ve eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants. My brothers came with me and they agree. Anytime I’m in San Francisco I will come here.“

“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.“

“A very locals option for carry out dimsum — a selection not as extensive as other Cantonese bakeries on San Bruno Avenue, but good quality. Charsiu bao (BBQ pork buns) are meaty (not fatty), getting the more-savory-to-sweet proportions just right.“

“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.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“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.“

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

“Just came in to.pick up BBQ bake pork bun,sesame ball, cocktail bun sweet rice cake. To have with coffee when I get back home.the taste is the same. The price went up.and size of the BBQ buns are now smaller than before. Everything nowadays are like that..just get use to it .“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I stumbled upon this unassuming spot by chance—and what a delicious discovery! The secret lies in their traditional method: the rice is painstakingly stone-ground (never machine-processed), a labor of love that yields the smoothest, most delicate crepes I’ve ever tasted. Portions are modest—true foodies might opt for 1.5–2 orders—but each bite justifies it. Forget noodles; these silky, slightly chewy sheets are in a league of their own.

The house-made soy sauce is a masterclass in balance—neither cloying nor overpowering—and my crepe overflowed with tender, caramelized BBQ pork.

Patience is key here: each order is crafted fresh, so expect a short wait. But that’s the price of authenticity. If you’re seeking genuine Chaozhou-style crepes (far removed from standard Cantonese dim sum fare), this is your spot. Sure, mass-produced versions exist elsewhere, but they’re pale imitations.

Heads up: it’s a cozy hole-in-the-wall with just a handful of seats. But for those who prioritize flavor over frills, this is a pilgrimage-worthy bite. Grab yours to go, or hover patiently—it’s worth every second.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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! 😋😋“

“The service was poor. I placed the order too quickly and got it wrong. I immediately found a waiter. Just one or two minutes after placing the order, I was told that it was already being prepared and couldn't be cancelled. I will never come here again.“

“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!“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.

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

“This is a “hole in a wall” that makes some of the tastiest and least costly dim-sum anywhere. There is usually a short line waiting for service. Dim-Sum is freshly made daily. Great lunch specials: 2 steam table items plus fried rice or noodles or rice for less than $10. Also has a self serve freezer for customers to pick up extras for dinner at home.
Don’t expect a fancy ambience but good and inexpensive dim-sum. Worth the trip.“

“My favorite SF Chinese restaurant. Great Chow Mein, excellent sesame chicken and wonderful service. Don’t order off Door Dash if you’re within the delivery radius! They have their own delivery service, it keeps costs down and they sometimes (sometimes!) may surprise you with a bonus item if you place a large enough order.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 .“

“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😋😋😋“

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

“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 really loved eating their delicious food and desserts“

“Nice place“

“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“
