Dim Sum Restaurants near Temple City, CA

“I went with my mom to try out the dim sum and the service was spectacular. Everyone was attentive the minute we got to our seats. We got our food promptly. The dim sum is 3.99 (weekdays) and 4.99 (weekends). They also have a deal for Lobster noodles (21.99) and congee once you order 3 or more dim sum dishes. I would go back but make sure you go early because this place does get busy.“

“Best lo mai gai I’ve had in San Gabriel!

The owner (?) was so kind and allowed us to come in just as it was about to close. Dishes were ready with zero wait time and we were not rushed at all. The tea was fragrant and strong, and the sticky rice was DELICIOUS! Ordered congee but were so full we couldn’t finish it, reheated it for dinner and was still great! Also a huge fan of the garlic spare ribs. Overall, I highly recommend this place and believe this business deserves to be supported and thriving based on the service and food.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“We had the **Crab Roe Noodles** and the **Crab Soup Dumplings**, and both were absolutely worth ordering.

The **Crab Roe Noodles** were rich, buttery, and packed with umami. The crab roe coated every strand of noodle beautifully, creating a silky texture without feeling overly heavy. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients.

The **Crab Soup Dumplings** were equally impressive. The wrapper was delicate, and each dumpling was filled with a flavorful, savory broth and a generous amount of crab. Every bite was comforting and satisfying.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, the service was friendly, and the food felt thoughtfully prepared. If you're a fan of crab or Shanghainese cuisine, Auntie Qiu Kitchen is definitely a place I'd recommend. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!“

“Prince Dumpling really impressed me. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out fast and fresh. The standout for me was the sky‑high beef cubes—perfectly seasoned, tender, and easily my favorite dish of the night.

The whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable, and I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu. One tip for anyone visiting: wear long sleeves. The AC runs cold, so you’ll enjoy the meal a lot more if you’re not freezing.

Overall, great food, great service, and a spot worth returning to.“

“Excellent dim sum, about $5 per dish. Everything is fresh, delicious, and filling. Maybe half a dozen tables so seating is limited. It takes about 15 minutes to order and complete take out. No carts here. Order off a limited but essentials menu so it's my go-to spot.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“A tremendously cute little hole in the wall dim sum place. As mentioned previously, this is not a big restaurant where food is brought out: you order at the counter and they bring out food piping hot and freshly steamed. That said, each dish was big restaurant quality and they were even nice enough to let us eat at their sole table there. The dumplings were balanced and well seasoned, and the pastries were tasty (not too sweet!) and well baked. Would absolutely go again.“

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung“

“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.“

“This is a very small dim sum place, one two table for 4 person, and 2 tables for 2. So maximum only 12 people can dine it. However, the dim sum here is one of the best we have had. Siu mai was rich in flavor and meaty. Stick rice and cheong fun were both top notched. Xiao longbao was juicy too. Due to the small dining area, I imagined it will be difficult at peak hour. Or you just need to take out. But if you do take out, the dim sum may not taste as good. Dilemma. But we were very happy with the food and service.“

“Another new dim sum place to try!

Slightly different flavors on some classics, but everything was very good. Good value. Everything on the front of the menu is $4.88. The back side is $14 (beef chow fun, etc.)

Sorry. No pics this time. I post next time.“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“Best roast duck!!! I always thought Sam Woo was the best , but their duck is delicious. Everything was freshly made!!“

“Delicious and flavorful dim sum! Portion sizes are huge! They aren't the little tiny servings at the dim sum restaurants.

It's take out only. And cash is preferred but they take credit cards too.

This is an old school mom and pop place and the owners are super gracious and down to earth! Prices are cheap too!

Go support them!“

“I was looking for somewhere to meet up with a colleague for lunch and CP came highly recommended. My colleague did the ordering. I found the taste and selection of dim sum to be one of the highlights. CP does get noisy. Service is excellent. Restaurant comps underground parking.“

“A solid spot for comforting Taiwanese food. I ordered their Fujian style fried vermicelli, beef noodle soup, and pan fried pork baos — everything was beyond flavorful. Even the noodle texture surprised me by being quite “QQ” (al dente in Chinese). Also, the servers were beyond kind, constantly bringing me hot water and napkins! Definitely recommend trying P P Pop!“

“It is a drive for me, but sooo worth it. Ni c e selection of dimsum, I always order the BBQ pork bun, siomai, shrimp hargow, egg custard, and many more. Most of what I order I don't remember the names (except the ones mentioned) because they have so many items to choose from. Cleaner than most dimsum Ive been to before. Prices have gone up (a little) since Covid, but the flavor has not changed. A once a month treat for me and the kids or whenever I watch Disney's BAO. And... they take cards now, not just Cash. Yeay!!“

“Wow wow wow !! Such great dumplings and custard buns ! Came by to get a quick lunch to go, and I open up my food to these cuties ! And not only were they cute, they were delicious! And the dumplings, my gosh! Delicious!! Definitely coming by and eating here again when I am in the area !!

Thank you!! 🙏🏼❤“

“I’ve been coming for years since they first opened! I grew up in Mexicali, Mexico known for its famous Chinese/Mexican food.
I was married to a Chinese Taiwanese woman & made a beautiful child. I’ve been to Asia and pride myself on being one of the most open minded foodies out there, I love high end experiences as well as street food alike. If the food is good the food is good!
However I do pay close attention to details & quality of ingredients and most importantly to be honest is the ability to feel welcomed & cared for in a place, Dans modern Chinese checks all the boxes for me, I’ve brought my Mexican grandma to this place the same way I’ve brought my foodie Asian friends- to me this place is consistent & service is always their focus, I know a few of the people by their name and they know mine. I may go months ar at a time without visiting yet I always feel like a local and most beloved customer. So thank you Dan modern Chinese!“

“This restaurant was a go to place for my mom in the early morning cuz it opened at 8 am. The dim sums was decent but it lacked varieties so choices were limited. Almost all dim sums costed $5.28 per dish except few bbq n special items.

Parking: During weekend around lunch time, it was difficult to find parking nearby the restaurant.“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“Great Pork Dumplings also really like the Beef & Cheese“

“Walked in here randomly after seeing it was very busy early in the morning. So glad we did.

Restaurant and bathroom are clean. Open decor with good natural light.

Serve shanghai dim sum, egg sandwiches, noodle soup. Star for me was the noodle soup. The noodles were perfectly cooked and brought me back to China. Prices were fair

You order from the table via QR core and the food comes quickly.

Easy parking around the area.

Will definitely be back“

“the decor of the style presented as the restaurant is welcoming and inviting which was why my family who frequents this restaurant often with her friends recommended this place to me too“

“Despite the very long wait, me and my family thought the food was very good and I loved how some meals came with sets and desserts. The atmosphere looked fairly new and nice and despite the lack of service, I thought the workers were pretty nice. We should come back one day.“

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons.
Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way!
I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!“

“Top Island is a classic gem in Alhambra for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. We came here for dinner and were blown away by the variety and quality. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp & Squid was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the Empress Chicken was incredibly tender with that signature ginger-scallion dipping sauce. We also loved the Beef with Tomato—so savory and comforting! The atmosphere is bustling and traditional, perfect for big family gatherings. Great service and very reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Definitely a go-to spot in the area!“

“Located in a large strip mall, so lots of free parking. They’re tucked away in the corner. Not a lot of tables, but very clean. The food was great and the serving sizes were larger than I anticipated. I’d definitely choose this place over L&L. They have a big food menu and drink menu. I look forward to coming back.“

“「鴻豐尚品」
Originally I was here to park my car and wanted to have lunch at other restaurant nearby. But the sign shows “parking Lot is for customer only”. That’s the reason why I have my lunch here.

I am very pleased with the amazing dim sum and the old-time atmosphere. The portion of food is huge and the price is reasonable. Definitely I’ll come back again!“

“This is a small independent shop that only does take out. Nothing fancy.

I came on a Sunday and the parking was packed. There are other shops and a supermarket as well. People do park and go rather quickly, though.

If you spend more than $20, you won't be charged a $1 fee. They only accept mastercard and visa; otherwise, pay cash.

Dim sum items are typically under $5. They sell other items/dishes for more and also specialty drinks.
I ordered $58 worth of dim sum and tried some in the car. I was happy with my order.

If you like cheap and decent dim sum, this place is it. Customers seem to love this place. There was a long line when I was here, and they kept refilling the food trays quickly.“

“Flat 5 dollar dim sum on the weekend , great for large groups. Great to introduce people to dim sum, but if you want high quality, you are going to a different location. Don't expect much from the decor since it's in a large banquet hall“

“Dim sum means “to touch the heart” but it’s basically little shareable plates. The food was excellent. The service efficient. Beautiful atmosphere. Favorite dish was Thai Style Tofu with Chicken Broth - a textural delight… if you’re into that kinda thing.“

“Everything that we tasted was amazing. The portions were great and it was customizable for my food sensitivities. The server was very kind and attentive. I will definitely visit again on our next visit to Cali. Prices were affordable so it was easy to get a lot and the food was tasty so we ordered extra to go.“

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!“

“The restaurant has some pretty authentic Chinese food and style. We had a big room with 20+ people, and they accommodated well. The mushroom dishes were incredible, but the sweat bean soup was not as well received, as it tasted kind of watery and sugary.“

“I enjoyed the dim sum at this restaurant and didn't have to wait that long to be seated.

They don't use as much oil in their food, which was great. The food didn't make me feel bloated like other dim sum restaurants either. Two items that really stood out were the truffle siu mai and chicken feet. The truffle makes the flavor pop. The chicken feet wasn't rubbery like other places; it was tender. I liked everything I ordered on the menu. I wish they would actually serve chili in the chili oil. A lot of places have been only giving the oil without the chili, unfortunately.

The customer service was good. The staff are attentive.
The venue is nice; they have chair covers and it looks like you can have wedding parties and other events here.

The dim sum dishes cost a bit more than other places, but they are also a little bigger in size and the quality is better. I have no complaints besides the tea pot being full and spilling all over the table each time we poured the tea.

There's a parking lot but it can get packed where you'll have to wait around for a parking spot to open up.“

“I've been eating Dim Sum for 50 years This place is legit! They have all the essentials and they're all good. The only thing I miss is that they don't have the cards that they roll around anymore. You just have to order from a check off menu.“

“5/2026:
I've tried a few other dim sum places around the area and this is the only place I've been to that serves chili sauce as well as real chili oil with the actual chili flakes. It makes a huge difference. The food also comes out piping hot. They are literally cooking some of the food on their dim sum carts, which is awesome.

2023:
Prices are decent for dimsum which is great; it's cheaper during the week. My friends and I like coming here. The staff seem to recognize us.

On some days the food is greasy; other days, not so much. If the food is not greasy, we end up eating and ordering more food.“

“It is a very professional and authentic Chinese restaurant. The food selection is very rich. There are various Chinese dishes with different flavors to choose from. I like barbecued pork buns and rice rolls, as well as chrysanthemum tea. There are many traditional Chinese people here, and some white people. The decoration of the restaurant is great, with Chinese characteristics, and it can also host some parties and celebrations.“

“We had the best experience at Mama Lu’s Dumpling House, this is one of those spots where you have to come hungry because you’ll want to try everything on the menu.

We ordered a little bit of everything, and every single dish delivered. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned and super comforting, with that classic wok flavor that makes it hard to stop eating. The vegetable dumplings were fresh, light, and packed with flavor, honestly some of the best we’ve had. The pancake had that ideal crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture and was so satisfying. The string beans were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning, and the eggplant was good, melt-in-your-mouth vibe.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere really stood out. It’s cozy and welcoming, but still spacious enough to comfortably bring a big group, perfect for families or catching up with friends. One thing we really appreciated is that they don’t rush you out. You can actually sit, enjoy your meal, and take your time, which makes the whole experience feel even better.

The service was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was so kind, patient, and genuinely attentive. You can tell they really care about making sure you have a great experience. Shoutout to Nana (the manager) for being so awesome!

Overall, this is a spot we’ll definitely keep coming back to. Amazing food, warm atmosphere, and top tier service, what more could you ask for?“

“Monterey Palace Restaurant is a classic Cantonese dining spot in Monterey Park, especially popular for dim sum and large family meals. The restaurant has a big banquet-style dining room that feels lively and busy, especially during weekend brunch.

I stopped by for dim sum, and the variety was impressive. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were fresh and delicate, while the Portuguese egg tarts were warm, flaky, and slightly sweet. I also tried the roast duck, which had crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat.

The portions are generous, making it a great place to share dishes with a group. The service can be a little fast-paced when it’s busy, but the food quality makes up for it.

Overall, Monterey Palace is a solid spot for traditional Cantonese food and dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley. If you’re looking for a classic Chinese banquet-style restaurant, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Foo, listen. When the lady taking your order has bread flour on her shirt you know it is going to be fresh.

My family loved the breakfast. House crepe comes with preserved tofu sauce. Crepe was kinda like roti. Everything handmade. Fair prices EOY 2025. 4 adult 1 kid ~60 bucks.

Wish the menu had photos for us ABCs, but you can see better pics on Yelp.“
