Dim Sum Restaurants near Walnut, CA

“Yummy Yummy! We're so glad that we have a delicious XLB place close to us. They have XLB (Xiao Long Bao/steamed pork dumplings) for BOGO promotion. Yes, buy one, get one free. We ordered their juicy pork Xiao Long Bao ($12.99 for 9 pieces), and they also gave us another order for free. (so we had a total of 18 pieces for 2 orders). We also ordered braised pork. The flavor of the pork was marinated well, and the texture was perfect, soft and tender. Their cucumber with garlic was also delicious.
We like their food so much and hope they do well in Walnut.“

“== FOOD == I got the rice noodles with youtiao. Super delicious. I saw the picture for a satay beef noodles and it looked so good, so I'll get it next time.

== SERVICE == There's not many staff inside, just one girl who was manning the kitchen area. It's all mostly self-serve ordering at a kiosk, or ordering with the QR code at your table.

== AMBIANCE == I was the only customer inside waiting for my food. Most orders were to-go and I saw many drivers come in to pick up food.“

“They carry a variety of different types of dim sum, always fresh and friendly staff“

“Food 4/5 - Ordered beef chow fun, chinese sausage/diced broccoli fried rice, braised crispy tofu w/ three delights, and crispy pan-fried whole flounder. Beef chow fun and the fried rice were delicious, both dishes have very good “wok-hei”. Crispy pan-fried flounder was also delicious, good crispy outside fry with the fish still being soft. There’s some soy sauce beneath the fish, but I’d like it to be served on the side so you can dip your fish pieces. Braised crispy tofu was good, tofu texture was very soft and the 3 delights (shrimp/fish fillet/octopus) were fine.

Price $$ - Price is good for the portions that were served. The plates might look small, but they have depth.

Service 3/5 - Service is average, we needed to flag down a server to refill our drinks.

Atmosphere 4/5 - Interior is good with Chinese themed decor.

Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.“

“Best authentic dim sum in this area -hands down. They offer special dim sum dishes like scallop shumai in xo sauce and abalone shrimp shumai in xo sauce to name a few. Both were delicious! Serve the traditional dim sum dishes as well which are amazing! Great quality and value. Highly recommend them and tell them I sent you! Cheers!“

“Delicious food, fast and courteous service; we tried various entree and they were all amazing!“

“I had a late but great lunch with my mom here. Their service is excellent and our special requests were satisfied. The shredded chicken is very fresh and tasty (not available all the time). The porridge is also freshly made. We will be back for sure.“

“Came here on a Thursday for some dinner to-go. There were around 2-3 customers when I dropped by around 7pm.

I got a garlic veggie and a crispy noodle. Both were super delicious. The veggie sauce made it just right seasoning. Would definitely come back for some dim sum next time“

“Food is the best thing I've had in Monrovia in years. They were so nice as well. I forgot the sauce for my food and they walked to my car to hand it to me. Best customer service ever. Genuinely a hidden gem. Can't wait to try the fried rice next“

“I got the buy 2 get 1 deal: bean curd roll, sesame balls, and haim sui gok. 🤗 All were delicious, especially the haim sui gok. Other reviews noted about slow service but I didn’t mind it. It’s a small family run restaurant and the cashier communicated about wait time and was attentive. I would return again. 👍“

“If you're craving dim sum, this place is definitely worth a try. The dim sum menu is solid, offering a decent variety of dishes that satisfy those midday cravings. The food quality is good overall, flavorful, and filling. However, when it comes to dinner time, the experience takes a bit of a dive. The dinner menu isn't particularly impressive, and the foods lack in flavor. I wouldn't recommend coming during dinner time.
The service, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired. The staff can be a bit inattentive and, at times, even rude.“

“We had an amazing meal here! The seafood was the star—fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The Peking Duck was crispy and flavorful, and the stir-fried beef was tender and delicious. We also enjoyed the vegetables with tofu, which were light, fresh, and a great balance to the richer dishes. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor—perfect spot for a family dinner or celebration!“

“Really solid Cantonese meal. The steamed fish was delicate and clean, with a nice soy-ginger sauce. The salt & pepper shrimp were crispy and flavorful. The roast duck had juicy meat and a fragrant skin. The XO sea cucumber was well-seasoned with good wok heat, and the greens kept everything balanced. Nothing flashy, just consistently good—perfect for a casual dinner and worth returning to.“

“Food tastes good. Services are fast.
02/20 update: can not believe that I have not been back here for 3 years, as we normally go to New Capital for dim sum.
Came around 9:30am, got seated, and made our orders right away. Unfortunately, the chefs do not come until 10am, so certain items on the menu are not available. That said, items we ordered are delicious. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back soon.“

“Had a great dining experience, with friendly service and tasty food - my favorite was the Juicy Pork Dumplings. They had a great texture on the dumpling skin, and super succulent and juicy inside! I also loved that they had hot tea and peanuts ready upon seating. It added a nice touch, as well as the updated interior and spaciousness of the place. The Hot & Sour Soup was also delish!“

“Ordered takeout during the holidays and the food was ready to go at the agreed upon time. The staff were very thoughtful and kept the fried dish uncovered in the to-go bag to maintain the crispiness. After the car ride home, it was still crispy and yummy. Overall the food was pretty good and a hit with most of the people. Some of the dishes were a bit salty, but that was expected from this type of establishment.“

“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.“
