“The place is clean and bright. The food was delicious and service was prompt and friendly. I love that there is plenty of parking and while the restaurant was about half full while we were there, it was quiet enough for my friend and me to have a good conversation without feeling like we have to shout or lean across the table to hear each other. Will be coming back for sure!“

“The best XLB I ever had. The thickness of the exterior dumpling that holds the delicious pork soup mixture inside is the perfect balance where you can gently and carefully pull it apart from the parchment paper it sits upon without tearing and spilling everywhere, and it is not too soft, not too hard, but perfect. Only someone with a masterful and skilled hand could have done this, and the Chef takes confidence and pride in their dumplings, looking through the glass to see our reaction of that first bite, eagerly awaiting for the joy inside to let loose into a smile and a laugh. I pray that this place never goes out of business. The staff was friendly enough, the environment was clean enough, the decor was cute and simple, there is one restroom, very well stocked and clean, and smells kind of like the very first Yugioh starter pack kit, back when it was just Yugi and Kaiba starter decks. I also had a refreshing berry drink that was worth it. We got XLB classic and crab, pan fried soup dumpling, and the very delicious fresh pea leaves which was worth it's price fully in satisfaction of flavor, vibrantness, and freshness. The flavor of their vinegar and chilli was also not cheap or lacking, but very good in spice level and flavor and vinegariness, which isn't a word, I know, but like come on. This place is so so so good. I need to go again.“

“A wonderful pasty store I found accidentally. I got chicken dumplings and beef and onions stuffed pancakes from the frozen section to make at home. They also have ready made food you can enjoy immediately.
If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. The place is very friendly.“

“Finding high-quality dim sum delivery that doesn't arrive soggy or smashed is rare, but Dim Sum SL absolutely nailed it. Everything was packaged securely, arrived piping hot, and stayed completely intact during transit. If you are looking for the best dim sum takeout in the area, this spot is highly efficient.

The food breakdown:

Shrimp and Chive Fried Dumplings: Easily the highlight of the order. The wrapper had a perfect, crispy golden fry to it without being oily at all. The filling was incredibly flavorful, packed with fresh chives and plump shrimp.

Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow): Excellent execution. The translucent dumpling skin had the perfect chew and didn't tear when picking them up. Inside, they use actual high-quality, whole choice pieces of snap-fresh shrimp instead of a filler paste.

Pork and Shrimp Dumplings (Siu Mai): A classic done right. These were savory, juicy, beautifully seasoned, and packed tight with a great balance of pork and shrimp flavor.

Fried Buns: The buns had a good chewy texture—crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The dough has a subtle, mild sweetness to it that pairs perfectly with the savory interior ingredients.

It is incredibly impressive to get restaurant-quality dim sum delivered right to your door without losing any freshness or texture. Everything tasted great. Highly recommended!“

“Good food, good service, reasonable prices“

“Very authentic Cantonese clay pot dishes. Everything came out piping hot. The flavors are spot on. The place is clean and not crowded. Service is fast. The only negative is that the ribs in the pot we ordered were very chewy and the sliced meats in the porridge were also chewy. However all the cured meats and sausages were perfect so we still enjoyed the dishes. Will definitely come back to try another time.“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

“Whole in the wall with very tasteful and authentic dimsum and more, our go to place. Very affordable prices and variety of selections. Chef’s little girl is so cute, and already very good customer service attentiveness at a young age. Highly recommended to try this place out!“

“Still pretty good after the remodel. Great service including changing out our plates twice during dim sum which I did not expect. They constantly came over and took away plates. The items I thought very average include ham sui gok too much dough and not enough filling. Shrimp dumplings and Xiao mai and chang fun were ok. The chau siu puffs, malay sponge cake, and beef organs and offal were all excellent.“

“The food is authentic and really delicious and well-flavored. The portion size for some dishes are relatively small for their price. But other than that, the staff members were extremely helpful and kind. It's not so busy when we visit so the atmosphere was okay as well. Would visit again.“

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

“This is an absolutely wonderful place. I eat here for lunch and dinner. I’ve been coming for years and I absolutely love everything that I’ve ever eaten here from the green beans to the cabbage to the fish chicken. I don’t order Thanksgiving turkey from here was fantastic. This is a wonderful wonderful place.“

“Unexpectedly great. My boyfriend has a set of go-to dim sum places and I am new to the region. I thought I routed us to one of his primary vetted three dim sum places in downtown Oakland, but this place is just outside of dt. When we realized we were not headed to the place he wanted initially, we decided not to reroute and try a new place. We were able to find parking in the lot upon arrival and there was no wait to place our order. This ended up being closer to where we live and more convenient to get to than any of the places in downtown. The sizes and serving quantities were very generous. Pics include a chapstick for reference. Everything was tasty enough to come back and order the other items that we wanted to try but ran out of space for. The bread-y items were so soft and fluffy. The dan tat was sweet like a pastry (how I prefer it) instead of neutral like traditional dan tat.“

“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!“

“This is a massive restaurant with a sea of tables and some private party rooms. It sometimes feels more like a giant ballroom than a restaurant. They also have a bakery next door. The food and the service are very good!
Overall, we had a very good experience.“

“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!“

“Delicious donuts and hopia at a reasonable price😋“

“The food here was AMAZING! The service was very quick and all of the waitstaff were extremely kind and welcoming. I don't have any pictures to include because my friends and I ate it so quickly after it came out! Would highly suggest this as a dimsum spot for people to come eat!“
