I love the food here and spent so much money at this place over the years. But they really need to stop being assholes when it comes to giving cutlery. They always give the attitude when I ask for basic utensils. And today the lady lied when I asked her for a spoon, so now I’m stuck w nothing to eat the soup with. So frustrating, do better

I have definitely had better dim sum. I had a homeless lady yell at me and then sit on me while I was IN the restaurant.

I had pork and veggie pot stickers, and egg fu yung with meat and veggies inside of wonton wrappers and then dipped in egg and pan fried. My fav here.
This place is very busy. All the food is fresh. The people behind the counter are happy and pleasant. You take it "to go". Another place that is considered the best
deal in town! (To go only)

Takeout spot that accepts credit card when ordering on the kiosk screen. This is a place when you need something fast in your stomach in a hurry to catch muni. The fried dumpling footballs were cold and greasy. The rice rolls were ok and a little thick. I might stick with the baked bbq pork buns.

We stopped in based on reviews and tried a few items: pork bun, soup dumplings, fried dumplings and shrimp dim sum. The filling in the pork bun was very sweet and the meat didn’t taste very fresh, so it was just ok. The shrimp dim sum was tasty and so were the fried dumplings😋. The soup dumplings had a good taste but I don’t think any of us were fans of the texture. The place is very small and was crowded when we entered, so we had to find a corner to review the menu. FYI: there is no seating. While standing in line a lady attempted to cut us and place her order. The lady behind the counter promptly informed her that we were next in line and took our order. This was appreciated as she didn’t seem to speak English. I would try this place again if ever in the area.

The food is very tasty and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. They also open early in the morning, making it possible to grab a bite before the flight 😁

Fried rice balls, mochi, rice cakes, pan fried turnip cake. Order in person with cash. Do the digital menu screen only if you have a huge order.

Wheelchair accessibility: Small space but has access; order online and pick up at window is best. Digital menu order screen available.

Only take-out is available. I bought their shrimp dumplings and they were better than the globally famous dumpling restaurant in Taiwan (D restaurant). The shrimps were marinated perfectly and there were some small pieces of veggies (bamboo shoots, I believe). The dumpling skin was chewy, which gave more palatable texture.

QUEEN (imho) of take-out Dim Sum & tourists & out-of-the area locals r starting to discover that DSB is the locals’ favorite .. 3 of the 4 Kings of DIM SUM is one of my fave❤️ (they don’t make the egg tart which would b the 4th king lol)

The BBQ pork bun is moist & soft with the ‘perfect chew; the filling is a very tasty & savory in its natural color form. The Cha Sui chunks r meaty, not fat & sauce is not used as a ‘filler’. The perfect mixture of sauce to meat gives u one of the most balanced & satisfying Cha Siu Bao.

Though their HAR GAO is short on pleats (7+), the skin is thin & somewhat translucent with a plumpy shrimp filling . The meaty PORK SIU MAI keeps u full for less than $10/2 orders .. that’s 6 dumplings?
Not only do DSB have great DIM SUM, they r fast & efficient. The labeled photos makes it easy to decipher all the dim sums, noodle soups, etc they offer ! And so many ordering options making it so easy for newbies & regulars alike ..

Very touristy place with frozen dim sum. They bring them in and steam them. Taste is very average and pork was undercooked and chewy.

Wouldn’t recommend.
