Dim Sum Restaurants near Union City, CA

“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!“

“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.“

“Online ordering here was a breeze. Unlike other places where I feel pressured to order more or lack the convenience of online options, this spot made getting dim sum straightforward.

Food: The dim sum was warm and steamy, and the quality was solid. My only gripe was the limited menu—no shrimp rice rolls or fried shrimp crescents, which are some of my favorites. If you’re happy with staples like Shiu Mai or Har Gow, you’ll enjoy it.

Service: No issues. I picked up my order by name, and that was it.

Atmosphere: The setting is simple and casual, with a cafeteria-like vibe. It’s good for a laid-back meal but not for anything formal.

Overall: It’s a decent spot with a smaller menu. Two orders of dim sum were enough to satisfy me, and I’d come back if I was in the mood for a quick and easy dim sum fix.

Parking: There was so much parking here on a weekend morning.“

“Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner! Everything was amazing and very reasonably priced. Customer service was amazing!! Thanks for the Bday Custard. Very possibly the best shrimp dumplings I’ve ever had.....egg rolls were delicious also“

“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.“

“I think I been there before and I actually stop by this month. The location is somewhat interesting ( away from freeway and next to residential / business area). The area plenty of parking and it is next to a supermarket.

Just a side note that they do take one hour lunch break I think it’s from 2-3 pm something like that. The time I went was after their lunch break and there are too many things to choose from. The order was quick and waiting for the food order take a bit time.

Overall the food is good and portion is decent. I don’t live near there so for me it’s just trying once in a while when I will be around that area.“

“Very authentic Shanghainese style food. Spicy soup noodles can sure test your ability to stand hot food. Steamed and fried dumplings, and Xiao Long Bao are must-eat items. Appetizers like jellyfish and stewed spare rib chunks are highly recommended. Mr Song is the owner. He is ever friendly and efficient. This place is a rare find on East Bay.“

“Very good food, esp. Dim Sum.“

“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.“

“This place used to be called Asian Pearl and is changed to Pearl Bay.

Inside is big and bright, suitable for any Chinese events such as weddings.

Food is decent. The Turnip (Daikon) Cake (Lo Bak Go), Water Chestnut cake and the Taro cakes are all excellent. Not all the dim sum restaurants have the water chestnut cake and taro ones, this is one of the places that serve them and make them very well.

Their black sesame rolls are good too. It is hard to find at other Chinese restaurants too.

Their lettuce with garlic is great.

Their steamed dim sum (such as Har Gow or anything with the white skins outside) isn't as good. The outside skins are thick and they are supposed to be thin.

The Fung Jao (chicken feet) are also so-so, not tender enough. I have had better elsewhere.

The fried chicken wings are disappointing.

The bathroom is not that clean. Wish they keep it in much better shape considering the restaurant's dining area is so nice and elegant.“

“At Golden Sand Harbor, everything just felt right. The tea came in cups with a clever grooved design — so hot we wrapped them in napkins, and the staff immediately brought extra without us even asking. Small touches like that set the tone.

The food was excellent: Singapore noodles light and flavorful, har gow and shumai perfectly done, and the beef tripe that the gentleman at the door suggested — exactly the authentic taste I remembered from Shanghai. He knew what I meant, and he was right.“

“Came here around 10pm. We were hungry and this place just opened and was open late so it was perfect!
The food was DELICIOUS. We got a few dumpling plates and each of us got a soup. I got the sweet and sour soup and it was so good 10/10.
I ended up coming again for the second time the same week and got the black truffle dumplings and brisket soup and it was also really good 10/10. This place has become my new food spot“

“Rude front counter lady ✅
Authentic Dimsum ✅
Dining tables used as storage ✅

An authentic canto dimsun experience. Just missing some cussing and yelling at the cook in the back. Lunch combo fantastic.“

“Food is good and service is nice and warm. I will bring friends come again definitely!“

“2nd time. Last time was before COVID
We ha rice and braised beef. Very tender beef. We wolfed through it before* remembered to take a pic of the large mound of rice, beef, and bok choy on the sides. The fresh cucumber salad was crunchy and had a nice garlic dressing.
Also got the lamb and pumpkin dumplings as well as an order of the chi and cabbage dumplings. All pretty good.“

“My daughter came home for vacation and she wanted to have dimsum at our favorite place Saigon Harbor Seafood in Newark, but it's closed indefinitely. We wanted to try a new place and we found this one on Yelp. It's in the place of a Korean restaurant years ago when the kids were little. It's a very small restaurant, the parking is limited in a small shopping center, but on SAT it wasn't crowded so we found a parking spot.
It's small, clean, but not airy as the big restaurant. My daughter using the iPhone App and the food came out quite quickly. This is a family owned restaurant so the mom serves for everyone, quite effective.
We ordered the usual, xiu mai, beef rice crepe, chicken feet, beancurd wrapped, soup dumplings, fried gyoza, some tripes that my daughter likes. There's no meatballs that my son likes.
The chicken feet are up to par with others, very tasty and cooked perfectly. The beef rice crepes are good and soft, the beancurd wrapped has too much cornstarch, sauce is too thick although the taste is there, didn't look good. The soup dumplings are bland, not very delicious as other restaurants. The tripes are good. My son ate all the fried Gyoza and he said it's OK. The xiu mai wasn't full flavored and not fresh.
I'm not sure if this is a cantonese restaurant or mandarin. It seems like a mixed one. To me the Cantonese restaurant has the best dim sum. Mandarin or chinese mainland has the best soup dumplings.
Anyhow, it's OK for me, but the kids didn't like it much.
The prices are very reasonable.“

“At the very beginning: this place is takeout only.
Very kind and friendly staff, and at-home atmosphere.
Good portion and taste of food. Would recommend roasted duck and chicken, both of which come with homemade sauces, especially the roasted duck sauce with nice meat fragrance. The roasted port is pretty good too. It’s just my personal preference of poultry.
The ingredients have good quality without too much fat, so you wouldn’t feel greasy when eating, which is the main reason I prefer here to Ranch 99 diary. And the price tends to be cheaper when you choose the whole duck/chicken, in which case you get a full box of treasure!
I have had enjoyable meals since the first time. Would definitely come back and try other dishes😋“

“This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.

Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I'll opt for next time.“

“Ok, if you have never had amazing mapo tofu or laziji (fried chicken pieces in dried chilis), two of my favorite Sichuan cuisine dishes, you HAVE to order these two dishes from this place, plus a bowl of rice. Phenomenal flavor, they hit it spot on with the best that we have had in Beijing, the only other place that can compare is Tasty Szechuan in Hayward, so of course we are happy there is a closer place to us in Dublin. Need to have it made spicy, or the tofu lacks the right flavor. The pain is worth the flavor! Their green onion pancakes are not good, but their gan bian sijidou (stir fried green beans) are super good, as well as their eggplant dish (if you like a slightly sweet flavor). Just thinking about those 2 dishes gets me salivating! Oh and then if you want the best milk tea, get it from nearby Feng Cha - regular black tea mill tea, don’t add any toppings, no ice, 75% sweetness (or 50% if you like it with just a touch of sweetness), sooo good, better than most places we tried in Taiwan. For $6, so much more worth it than all the mediocre ice cream places I have tried around here (still have not found an amazing local creamery). Enjoy!“

“They offer a great variety of pastries, focusing on northern Chinese-style baked goods. Their prices are reasonable, especially for my favorite dumplings. They often have additional promotions.

Parking: It's at a huge plaza. There are plenty parking spaces.“

“Take out or Delivery app only.

This little shop is great. Food is fresh, delicious, and plentiful. do Kinda wish they had a lunch-box meal where it's a half portion of their rice meal with a drink (I feel like I need a nap)“

“3.5 stars

We came here before 11am shortly after opening on a Sunday and there was no wait. We decided to try their entrees and skipped the dimsum.

The salted fish chicken eggplant claypot took a long time to come, it came at the end and the eggplants were burnt on the bottom and the skin was tough to chew. It was also submerged in a lot of oil but tastewise it was okay.

The satay beef chow fun was good, it was actually runny and not too salty. The pineapple was a nice touch, we just weren't a big fan of the red bellpeppers.

Japanese style beef cubes with fried silken tofu was really good, the sauce is slightly sweet and savory and not too salty. We really liked this one.

All 3 dishes were in the low $20s, and more than enough for 3 people. We had leftovers to go.

There is free dessert! Choice is mango pudding or grass jelly.“

“The dim sum portions were all quite generous, and everything tasted great. It’s definitely worth trying a variety of dishes. The only downside was the BBQ pork bun—the dough was a bit tough and could use some improvement. But everything else was absolutely delicious!“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“The food is always good here but the physical restaurant is slowly declining; the place is dirty and lacks upkeeping. When BK first opened, one can classify it as a slightly upscale “bistro”. Now it’s just another run down Chinese restaurant.“

“I was searching for a dim sum place and this restaurant’s name came up with decent reviews. I went there but found out that they no longer serve dim sum, only the regular Chinese food menu. We ended up ordered congee and lobster noodles and those were quite good.“

“Here's the review with the added information:
"Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."“

“Harbor Bay offers good dim sum, with cart service during peak hours. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and kid friendly. We enjoyed our little dim sum stop today and will come back.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly and accommodating to babies, toddlers, kids.“
