    Price scamming

    Returned to this restaurant and still have not updated their website. Once again didn't honor the price for lobster e mein for $25.99. Very disappointed

    Review for to-go: My first time coming here since it became Blooming VIP. After this visit, I would want to come more often. Plentiful parking in the morning. When I went inside the to-go area, seen pretty clean and not messy, it was only me and 2 other customers, which were in the roasted meat area, and I was the next one in line for dim sum. I didn't get her name, but the lady was so friendly, nice and patient. Any item that I chose, she would pick from underneath and give it to me so I don't get the one on top that's been exposed. She said I was lucky too because the chicken feet she happen to choose had 5 pcs instead of 4! Lol. She packaged everything nicely and at one point, was disrupted by another employee about a missed roast duck order - that did slow her down, as a line was forming behind me but she maintained her patience and even joked around with me. Overall, the food was warm and plentiful for just under $60. I got about 10 orders. Tasty and good size as well!

    Loved my dimsum experience here! Food and service were both good. Came for dimsum on Christmas day and it was packed. Even parking was very hard to find in the lot, and we had to wait for a spot to open up. Luckily the restaurant was really big so my party of four didn't have to wait very long before we got seated. We ordered some dimsum dishes as well as some lunch dishes. All of the dimsum dishes were generally pretty good. My favorite was the fried shrimp egg roll. The steamed chicken feet was flavored well and skin was fall off the bone, beef balls were super tender, and shrimp rice noodle roll had silky smooth skin. Most dimsum items were in the $5.69 to $7.69 range, though I did see that prices are a bit cheaper if you come on weekdays (they have separate weekday vs weekend pricing for dimsum). Their desserts were really good as well. They were bringing around this giant pineapple bun which was supposedly invented by the owner here. I'm really glad we got one, as the mix of salted egg yolk, cheese, and pineapple inside went together surprisingly well. My favorite dessert was probably the coconut bun because it was super coconut-y. For entrees we got the lunch special dish, lobster with yi mian ($20.99), which we all thought was a steal. We really enjoyed the flavor of the noodles and thought there was a good amount of lobster for the price. We also ordered the kung pao chicken ($17.99) which had really good flavor and wok hei. We paid a little over ~$30 pp after tax and tip with some leftovers to take home, which isn't bad.

    Parking was the hardest to find on Thanksgiving. The parking is shared with the entire plaza. Some of my family parked near the recycling center and we parked closer to the market. Some people dont know how to drive and blocked the way. My parents got there early to get a table. We were sat inside a room with other tables and two gender neutral bathrooms inside. You order what youd like from a piece of paper and they will cross it off when it gets delivered. Food does take a bit of time to get to you, so be prepared to drink lots of tea. The bussers and runners were friendly and nice. The food came hot and steaming. In the room that we were in, they had the football game on. They did take a while to clear the finished plates and containers. Overall, we enjoyed a nice breakfast with family. Just hated the parking.

    Complimentary desert.  Coconut milk tapioca and  taro.

    This probably should be a 3.5 but decided to use 3.0 vs 4.0. The whole suckling pig is what brought us in but while the food is legit and there's no taste issue but they just didn't live up to expectations. The suckling pig is not something that you can get anywhere which makes this place unique but the pig we got could have had crispier skin. There are lots of private rooms here and they have banquet menus/options so you should still consider Blooming VIP. See my food pics and menu pics!

    Ended up here Sunday. Never been here before, but our other place was too crowded. I liked it. Decent service and the food came out fast. Nice portions and it tasted good. Prices are very fair. Great BBQ pork dish. No complaints at all and would recommend!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at VIP Blooming. From the moment we walked in, everything truly lived up to their name--VIP all the way. We ordered the 15 lbs king crab, and it was hands down the best. Fresh, flavorful, and worth every single dollar. You can tell the quality is top-tier. A special shoutout to Supervisor Max--top notch service. Attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. What really stood out is how well we were treated. All the staff are well-trained and truly know how to make you feel special. The service felt personal, warm, and genuinely welcoming--our family felt valued the entire time. We've now celebrated multiple birthdays for our children here, and they've always accommodated us with VIP rooms, making every celebration feel extra special and memorable. On top of that, our Frenchie baby Yema had just been spayed, and they were so kind and accommodating, making sure she was comfortable the entire time. That level of care meant so much to us. We live in Calabasas, and it's absolutely worth the drive. This is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. So happy we found a place our whole family loves and where we're consistently treated so well. We'll definitely keep coming back.

    Blooming VIP exceeded all expectations! We hosted a private room dinner here, and everything -- from the food to the service -- was truly exceptional. The dishes were beautifully presented and packed with flavor, each course better than the last. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of, making the whole experience feel seamless and special. The private room was elegant and perfect for an intimate gathering or celebration. If you're looking for a place that delivers amazing food, top-tier service, and a classy atmosphere, Blooming VIP is the spot. Highly recommend!

    Solid food! Truffle siu mai, very hot (temperature) and generous amount of bean curd wrap, and delicious chicken feet!

    For a Chinese restaurant service pretty good! Quick and efficient, solid dim sum. Clean and spacious. Though I hear it gets really busy on weekends, I came on a Friday morning and it's perfect to get some hot dim sum without the crowds! No carts, just a menu you can order from. Would come back!

    Recently came on a Tuesday night for my dad's birthday. They have a promo going on for the pig and lobster. Food was really fast and service was great as well. Inside is clean and remodeled. I definitely recommend in 626 area if you're looking for some chinese food!

    Our family had booked out a banquet room. I was really eager and excited for some delicious SoCal Chinese, but unfortunately, this meal left a lot to be desired. Our poor server (not his fault!) was left as the only staffer in our room of over 40 people. That made getting drinks much slower... we didn't get water until the fourth course in. Warning- I would not recommend their scallop fried rice. My cousins and I all agreed- it wasn't great. Maybe most redeeming was the walnut shrimp? Both duck and chicken were very bony and not filling.

It was a bit of a pleasant surprise and immediately sets a comfortable tone. The service was quite impressive... extremely attentive, friendly, and quick. 8/10 for the food. 10/10 for the price point 10/10 for the service. The food was definitely solid for the price point. There were a few misses, but the dishes that landed were executed really well. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Siu Mai 10/10 - Juicy, plump and perfectly executed. Definitely my favorite dish. Bean Curd Skin Roll in Abalone Sauce 9/10 - Flavorful with an excellent texture. The whole dish was well executed. Beef Chow Fun 8/10 - Solid and flavorful. The beef was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Yangzhou Fried Rice 8/10 - The rice was moist and the seasoning was spot on. Shrimp Egg 8/10 - Soft and well seasoned. Generously portioned with very plump shrimp. Pork Chop Spicy Salt 8/10 - Crispy and slightly salted. It has a really great texture to it. Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant 8/10 - Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Generous portions of chicken, salty fish and eggplant. Chicken Feet 7/10 - It was solid. Not the best, but definitely not bad. House Special Crispy Shrimp Rolls 5/10 - The flavor of the shrimp was okay, but the rolls were really greasy. There were three very small rolls, definitely not my cup of tea. Chili Wonton 3/10 - By far my least favorite dish. The wonton skin tasted very flour-y, and hardly had any filling. The filling was also very bland and the chili oil was very underwhelming. By the way, the tea is free (I know, free tea at a dim sum spot).

A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

Wah Sing Dim Dum is a no frills, mostly takeout, dim sum place with a small area to sit down and eat if you wish to. Different from the restaurants serving dim sum on carts some folks may be used to. This is more of place someone would go to if you wanted quick dim sum at a great price. Highlights: -#5 har gow (aka crystal shrimp dumplings) was so plump and jam packed with shrimp! The skin was so chewy too. Delicious! -#25 black sesame with red bean paste was so fresh! It was crisp and chewy without feeling too heavy from the oil, if you stop at one that is haha -#6 siu mai was also so jam packed with meat and juicy! Still worth mentioning that the turnip cake was delicious in flavor but just not a highlight because it was on the mushier side. I'd still get it again though! Also, my partner really enjoyed the congee. I didn't try it though. Areas that can be improved: -the lotus sticky rice was a little lacking in flavor and meat. -the Cheung fun although had generous amounts of shrimp, it lacked bounce in the rice noodle. Maybe because it was cold by the time we ate it. -to reduce paper consumption, I recommend using laminate dry erase for the menus so they can be reused. Just an idea/suggestion!

(4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal.
