Dim Sum Restaurants near West Covina, CA

“Dined in today. Highly recommended. This restaurant was first established in 1931 (almost 1 century ago!!) Fantastic food and very hygienic! I knew the business owner and his wife for years, and they are all germophobes (me too. That is why I'm so serious about hygiene in restaurants!) Xiao Long Bao, Won Ton, and BBQ ribs are all must-tries!!!“

“I was craving dim sum, so I thought I was going to a traditional teahouse. It is take-out only. The pepper steamed chicken feet was very good. The beef tripe was just the right texture, a little crunch left, and the ginger flavor just right. The pork ribs were perfect, too. It would have been nice to have a table and some good tea. I ate these in my car.“

“A no frills dumpling house. Staff is friendly and attentive, food is fresh and delicious.

Great for large groups or solo

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to navigate if mobility is a challenge. Wide open floor.“

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

“Came by for the first time on 04/22/24 during the morning hours while vacationing on CA. I ordered online to pick up my order, the place is small but very clean inside, the prices are a bit high compared to what I am used to, food tasted good and they had a lot of items in their menu. The service was pretty quick and they got my order right. I will definitely be returning back if I am again in the area.“

“Small, take out only, mom and pop dim sum hidden gem!! Good prices, super fast service, and the best dim sum i’ve had in the SGV so far. All of the items had HUGE fillings-the biggest and fattest shu mai i’ve ever had. Chive dumpling had the thinnest most see through wrapper. Loved the egg tarts they were super soft, flakey, and the filling was still soft and jiggly but set perfectly. The pineapple egg yolk buns were incredible too. Everything seasoned well. You can tell they know what they’re doing. The only minor comment is that the shrimp rice roll wrapper was a little thick but not honestly a big deal. 5 stars absolutely must try if you love dim sum!!!

Bring cash!! They accept card but charge a small fee.“

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

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

“The dim sum a la carte were large portions.

Easy to order. You go to your table and there is a sheet with picture of the food item and you mark your quantity. Food was fast. I like this serving concept better - you don’t have to flag dim sum cart to your table.“

“One of these days, I'll be smart enough to take photos of what I eat. When I come back, cuz I will come back, I'll be better about taking pictures of the food. I came here on the recommendation of Kristy Hang, who posted about it on her instagram. I had the shu mai, har gow, wok fried turnip cake, and a pot of wonderfully perfumed Jasmine tea. The waitress was kind enough to offer me a to-go cup for the remainder of the tea in the pot. I would not have known to ask for it. So I'm grateful to her. There is easy parking in the lot. Highly recommend this place.“

“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“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“I absolutely love this place and continue to keep coming back. The atmosphere is lovely, the service is very amazing and I've always had amazing sweet service coming here each time. The food always remains delicious and will one day soon try it all“

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

“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 😋😋👌🏼“

“We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! All of the food here was so good and beyond my expectations. What’s even better than the food was the service. They only had one waitress when we went but she was so warm and welcoming. She openly made conversation with us and our food was delivered to us quickly. Overall, this is a very cozy restaurant with amazing food and stellar service :)“

“I was visiting with my Mom the other day, and we were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat. I am very glad we stopped here! They have a lot of choices, and we both ordered the mixed Hawaiian BBQ meals. It arrived in a disposable container, and it was full to the brim with meat, rice, macaroni salad, and vegetables. So delicious, and enough for both of us to take home for dinner. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are very generous, and most of all, delicious!“

“Yumcha is delicious, but the Drunken Chicken is a bit inferior. Maybe American chicken is not delicious! The bean curd beef balls are slightly salty...others are okay! The main hall was almost full at noon on Tuesday, and business was good….
I came here again, half of the roast duck feathers were not plucked, and I gave a big bill but didn't get any change for a long time. Does this mean that the change should be regarded as the entire tip? So disrespectful to the guests!“

“Definitely the best dimsum around San Gabriel area if not entire SoCal, and I'm open to other suggestions or recommendations. Service is excellent with attentive staff.

Vegetarian options: Lot's of Chinese veggies to choose from. Chinese broccoli is one good one.“

“This location is in Arcadia next to 99 Ranch Market. Parking is plentiful in the parking lot. Sunright is also next door.

I think this is a good place to get Shanghainese food. There are no frills. If you pay cash, you get a discount. I was here for dinner, and they ran out of some items already!

I ended up getting a noodle soup, which was so delicious on a cold night. The black sesame mochi roll was actually really delectable. I recommend sharing this because it gets carb-y. There is one restroom in the back.

Credit card is accepted.“

“Wow! Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, soft moist and subtly sweet.It’s like they gathered the outer edges from tiny fluffy clouds and stuffed sweet pork bits into their centers. The sauce is brown, not red like I’m used to but still very good. The pork chunks were very moist which I loved, with just enough fat for moisture and flavoring.The price is a bit up there, especially for a crowd. $15.00 for 6 Small Buns…but better quality when comparing to local Asian Market deli sections. 4-6 huge buns To-Go for $8.00 and you can feed an army or share 1 with a friend.Despite the price, I loved the product. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Take the Steaming Square Paper off the Bottom before eating lol.The NAME Signage wasn’t over the door when I arrived so I parked in the giant lot to look at the map. I discovered that it was located on the yogurt shop side of the lot. 2nd shop on right from east entrance. It’s a strip mall off Duarte & Baldwin, Bank of America ATM near sidewalk.“

“This restaurant is always a go to for family dinners. You can get so much food for all really great price. They have a LOT of items on their menu as well. We come here for their spicy wontons and soup dumplings. Their honey garlic pork chop is super flavorful as well. Service was really friendly. The staff was always checking in on us.“

“Tried the pork spare ribs, delicious. Tried the sweet and sour fish, pretty good. Tried tofu fish, interesting. Tried another dish, don't remember the name but had Chinese broccoli. Looks like long stem spinach to me. I liked the Chinese broccoli "“

“Good food, clean place, nice service, planty of parking. Really satisfy your cravings for chinese food. Yang chow fried rice was really good, you cannot stop eating them. They’re not holding back on the meat and shrimp. Deep fried whole fish is a must!!!! Crunchy, flavorful and worth every crumbs. Eggplant with pork meat is another yummy in my tummy. Worth to visit!“

“Classic looking dim sum place with chaotic service.

Dim sum dishes start at $5 and can increase to $9 really quickly if you're not careful of the size chart they point out at the top of the menu.

Be aggressive with getting attention from staff and make sure you're asking for everything in one shot. This will either work in your favor or you will have to find someone else to bring you what the other forgot about.

Nothing entirely wrong if you're not familiar with that kind of dining experience but definitely bring someone that isn't anxious about acting like you're at a hole in the wall.

All that to point out that the aesthetics outplay the service. It's still a very old school style restaurant.

As of Aug 2024 your best value dish to order for 2-3 people will be the 22.99 lobster special. It's about 2 pounds of lobster with options for sauce and noodles.

Overall, dishes were good and they try to crank out the siu mai as quickly as they can before running out but if you're waiting a bit for it then it just means you're getting one fresh off the steamer.“
