Dim Sum Restaurants near West Covina, CA

“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!“

“I LOVE DIM SUM KING MASTER. Best items are the haim suk gok, siu mai, and their rice noodle rolls which are different then a lot of other shops and more thin. The rice noodle rolls are made fresh. A must-try is the pineapple buns which are also freshly made and are always very warm and fluffy. Last recommendation, is their thai tea. This is my go-to place for dim sum. Support small businesses!!“

“One of the best dim sum places in the area! Even at night when dim sum isn't available the dishes are super tasty as well! I never been to Canton, but I've been to Hong Kong and NYC, this place is def on par or better than the places I had in Hong Kong and NYC.“

“I’ve been wanting to try out this place in such a long time and finally bit the bullet last week. Upon reading their extensive menu, we noticed a lot of similarities with DTF but at a slightly cheaper price point , plus short wait. Everything we ended up trying was solid! The xiao long bao had thin wrappers with a rich, flavorful broth inside — definitely some of the better ones I’ve had in the SGV. The beef rolls were flaky and crispy. The lobster abalone soup stole the show — it’s visually stunning and actually packed with deep seafood flavor. The sides rounded out the meal perfectly. Garlic string beans and honey walnut shrimp were delicious. Always a hit with our family. We left SO full and happy 😁

This place does get crowded, so highly recommend visiting earlier (closer to opening time).“

“Super awesome to see more Asian food in South El Monte. South El Monte is blooming and growing center for Asian and AAPI businesses since the community has affordable real estate, accessibility, and world class high school education that can promote students going to Stanford, Harvard, MIT Engineering programs. Since Asian parents love seeing their children reach Ivy League levels and programs, there have been so many businesses starting up from boba stores to dim sum and I hope in the future, Korean Fried Chicken and more. I enjoy having a spot in the community that I can go to and enjoy dim sum options as Hong Kong (HK) style egg tarts and more. There is also a new Vietnamese and Thai restaurant in the community that took over some old failing businesses in the region. The high school boasts having Japanese and Mandarin Chinese language education which is an interest and incentive for people and nearby Asian households to move over to South El Monte.“

“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.“

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

“If you love the a la carte dim-sum to-go that you can get in downtown LA's Chinatown but don't want to drive that far and have to pay for parking and deal with the traffic then this is a great compromise. A little more expensive than the options you'll find in Chinatown but I save so much more time and money going here coming from Pomona that this is my new go-to for dim-sum in a pinch.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“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 came here for dinner and really liked it! The 咸豆花 was amazing, smooth, warm, and tasted super authentic. The fried dough sticks were crispy and fragrant, perfect for dipping. The place feels like a cozy local spot, nothing fancy but just right.“

“It's great. The food is good. But you have to wait outside until your number is called and outside the place is littered with cigarettes in the waiting area. Please clean it up and put a no smoking sign. No one wants second hand smoke.“

“Best Dim Sum!!!! My children and I have been coming here for years, and we absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is so attentive and kind and the food is absolutely delicious 😋 We've love trying new places, but when it comes to Dim Sum, no one beats Capital Seafood. Thank you, Mia, and the entire wonderful staff, you all make every visit a treat & we always leaving absolutely full and lazy, lol. Thank you! 💝“

Additionally they’re Hawaiian BQQ mix, Hawaiian BQQ chicken , and Hawaiian NQQ beef are ALL SO GOOD!! Also their spam musubi is SOO AMAZING (my personal favorite) . Highly recommend this place truly is a staple !“

“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!“

“This Cantonese restaurant offers a very solid and authentic dining experience.

The menu focuses on traditional Cantonese flavors—light, clean, and well-balanced, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. We ordered several classic dishes and everything was executed well. The roasted meats were flavorful with crispy skin and not greasy, the steamed dishes were fresh and properly seasoned, and the stir-fried dishes had good wok hei.

Ingredient quality really stands out, especially the seafood, which was fresh and well prepared with no off-flavors. Portions are reasonable and the pricing feels fair compared to similar Cantonese restaurants.

Service was attentive and relaxed, and dishes came out at a comfortable pace. The dining area is clean and comfortable, making it a good spot for family meals or casual gatherings with friends.

If you’re looking for traditional, no-frills Cantonese food done right, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“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.“
