Dim Sum Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“Yes, loud Cantonese and Mandarin spoken, but if you are clear with your English order, you will get good quality dim sum quickly.

Two tiny 2 person table, and a high wall table with 4 tall chairs for sitting, as this place is oriented for to-go. They have several keep-hot boxes to hold many doordash calls, so you do not have to find parking in a medium size lots that often overflows with meal times from other yummy foods places in the plaza.

Get the har gow and shu mai!

I also enjoy their fish congee.“

“Comfortable atmosphere. Delicious Xiao Long Bao :) . Dan Dan noodles were so fresh. Cucumber salad was also yummy and refreshing, had a hint of mayo dressing. Must have Dubai chocolate Xiao Long Bao !!! Better and tastier than Din Tai Fung :) . The service was exceptional. You feel right at home.“

“I've been going here for a number of years. Even before the pandemic. The food has been consistently good, with the exception of the height of the pandemic.

On other platforms, this place isn't rated high however this place for dim sum is always packed. This says wonders about the other sites.

Today's visit for dim sum was just like the other times. Place was packed and there was a wait of 20 mins. The service was okay and the food was good. Parking wasn't an issue as there were plenty.

This is a go-to spot for dim sum for sure.“

“The food is quite authentic. I've went there multiple times and the dishes are very consistent. Decent taste, not too much flavor. Just right. Price is relatively affordable too if you are eating with multiple people. I would recommend this place to others.“

“Delicious food and great dinner service! I want to try every dish on the menu. Everything is seasoned to perfection and the price is right. I loved the salted pepper ribs and honey walnut shrimp. Had a great time and looking forward to trying their dim sum!“

“Good assortment of house made dim
Sum. I had egg rolls and sticky rice in lotus leaf, a few times there. Easy to order at the counter, short wait for food , in a clean environment, with limited amount of tables, inside/outside
Friendly staff. Two blocks from the Alameda Farmers Market.“

“We went on April 2nd 2025 a “Friendship Day.” A group of friends we enjoy the food and Ms. Ying owner came and greeted us with delicious oranges she bought next store for us to enjoy come back again she said. I said surely I’ll recommend you guys“

“Great food and good service“

“Perfect place to grab satiating lunch and dinner when on-the-go AND on-a-budget. Discovered this place on a trip and have been coming back ever since. Communication can be quite tricky but you can also point out what you want and they’re very generous with their portions. The food is really good from the fried chicken/pork to the rice, noodles, vegetable stir fry, shrimp, etc. The lines can be long during lunch rush but they work to get you in & out as quickly as possible“

“i always come to eat their steamed chicken dumpling which is honestly a comfort food for me at this point. Absolutely delicious and healthy for me especially as someone with a sensitive stomach. also the guy running the shop is very sweet and amazing service.“

“The food was great, the service was excellent, I was very satisfied“

“Came in here for the first time during my lunch break and loved every bite!

The service was prompt from taking my order to get my food.

Also, never had a robot bring my meal to me before. That was an interesting experience“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“It’s my first visit here. I loved the rice casserole and the fried pork ribs. The rice casserole was very authentic and delicious, just like the best ones I had in China.

The place was clean and the service was great. The manager answered my questions and when she saw there’s oil on my hands, she got me a paper napkin before I asked. I was very grateful!“

“A bit of a hole in the wall restaurant serving Chinese food with an emphasis on noodles. I had the bbq pork bun and tan tan mien, both of which were really fresh and flavourful. Prices are pretty standard and the portions are pretty big for the price. The place was completely empty when I went there during lunchtime on a weekday so service was quite fast. There was one guy tending to the front of the store and he was polite and attentive. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Love it here. The egg custard bun is TO DIE FOR. It's big and filled to the brim with custard, it's the best bang for your buck. Not only that but the siu mai, ha khaw, and the turnip cakes are a little bigger than what I get normally so it's a great deal. Staff is friendly, I'm a English speaker so it's fairly easy to order. They do except cash or Zelle and those payment types a simple to execute. 10/10 recommend 🤌🏽“

“Cantonese breakfast but make it available all day? Yes please!

This is the latest location to open up in the bay area making it the least busy as well. We rolled in on a weekday afternoon and were seated pretty quickly.

There are a LOT of cheung fun (rice roll) options here as well as plenty of congee and other appetizers. The pricing here was really reasonable for 2025 as well, with most rolls around $7 and congee hovering around $8. They don't skimp on the portions either.

For myself that follows a plant-based diet, I ordered their Vegetarian Cheung Fun, their Yu Tiao Cheung Fun, and the Veggie Congee (hold the egg shreds). Again, the portions here are quite generous and even one bowl and one roll would be enough to satisfy two people.

Their cheung fun quality here is really impressive. The rice itself is very silky and moist and the dipping sauce provided isn't overly salty either. The congee here was also delicious and really hit the spot for someone that loves eating rice porridge.

My mom even said that the cheung fun mirrors the quality she eats while in Guangdong. Mama seal of approval is a great sign.

Great experience with their service and excellent food makes this place another go-to the next time I'm back in the East Bay.“

“I love Tin’s Tea Pot! You get this quality food for this price point. I’ve been here a few times and was heartened to see it busier than usual. They totally deserve it!

We ordered their vegetable dumplings, a veggie lo mein dish and their rice soup which when combined with the plant was AMAZING!“

“This is the best place for steamed bun in Oakland Chinatown! My family and I have been going here for many years and we have always enjoyed their pork buns, "big" buns (contains egg, chicken, seasoned pork, and Chinese sausage), cabbage & pork buns, and custard buns. For us, their steamed bread products are really what shine here, the bread is fluffy & soft without being too sweet or dry and the fillings are well-seasoned, fresh, and plentiful. Yummy Dim Sum was closed for a while for remodeling and our family had to try other places in Chinatown for steamed buns and all the others were not even close to the quality of this place. After remodeling, their prices were raised a bit (around $1 to $1.50 per item), but their prices are still very affordable and honestly, I don't think any small shops in the Bay Area can survive charging any less than they do at the moment. Furthermore, the shopkeepers are very nice and patient when we go there, which is always a nice plus for to-go shops such as this. Given they are one of the last good steamed bun places left in Oakland, my family & I are more than happy to support them when we can and would highly recommend you give them a try as well!“

“My long time place for delicious chinese food. The dumplings are good: try the lamb with zuccini and chicken with spinich for a real treat. The dim sum is the best in the Hayward area. Oustanding dishes are: cucumber with garlic and fungus, salt and pepper chicken wings, tender vegetables with filet fish, string beans with chicken, Egg Foo Young (unbeliably great), walnut prawns, won ton soup, knife cut chow mein with mixed meat and shrimp. All portions are large and properly packaged. I only do delivery orders with BEYOND MENU who favors local businesses so I have no rating for servive or atmosphere. This place is a find!“

“I went there last Sunday with a party of 15 people. It was very busy. They seated us relatively promptly, the service was great, the food was delicious, and it was affordable. No complaints about this dim sum place. Would definitely return.“

“nice variety of food which was amazing. definitely going back“

“Delicious donuts and hopia at a reasonable price😋“

“Food is very good. However, I rather they told me the truth instead of steering me into something else. It appeared that they don't have 2 lbs or more lobsters. So, they BS about 2 one lb lobsters would provide better meat quantity and that the meat in a 2 lb lobsters would be tougher. You will get more shell and more elbow joints that are difficult to handle. Instead, just order something else. Anyhow, the lobsters over noodles were nicely cooked and were extremely tasty. So were the surf clams over cellophane noodles. The rest of the dishes were also good except for the salt and pepper pork chops. They were tasty but the chops used were too thick. Desserts were not warm/hot enough.

Service was generally good. Near the end, the waiters were, as if by concerted efforts, ignoring our wavings to get our teapots filled.

The tables were not too jam-packed as other Chinese restaurants.“

“An Awesome Casual dining place for an affordable heart full of great food especially its noodles and wanton soup..! Don’t miss this when here.. frankly abit underated to me it’s the best in the Bay Area.!✌️“

“One of my favorite places in Oakland to grab some dim sum to go. It's usually a busy place, but the lines move nicely. There's 2 lines in there so make sure to line up in the right area. One line is to buy the roasted meats hanging in the front window of the store and the other line is for dim sum. There's one long table with a few chairs along the wall if you would like to rest a bit and chow down on what you just purchased.

We always try to order the siu mai,chicken feet,tofu skin roll,baked char siu bao,and a few of the fried dumplings when we go. All of those are so flavorful and tasty. You don't need any sauces to go with any of those since they themselves are so delicious already,they're not too salty nor too oily or fatty. The baked char siu baos are a thing of beauty here. If you don't grab any dim sum then please grab yourselves the baos. The filling is plenty and the ratio of bun to meat is pretty good if you compare it to other places.

I don't really care for the roasted meats myself(the roasted duck,soy sauce chicken,roast pork,etc) because I find them not as good as the other places. I don't necessarily like their seasoning and flavor. Stick with their dim sum and you should be good but of course this is just my opinion and maybe you would like their roasted offerings.

The workers there are always helpful and friendly. There's usually 2 or 3 people to serve each line.“
