The nearest dimsum place near our work. So affordable. Prices are reasonable. Big portions for each dimsum. I love their dimsum items. Fast turnout for orders read more

We were heading to moms for family lunch. We decided that our contribution would be Dim Sum from DT. They open early and we dropped by around 8:00am to leave our order for pick-up at 10:15am. I found a copy of their order sheet online. It was slightly out of date but it worked out just fine. I handed it to the order taker and she entered it into the computer. There were two items that they apparently no longer make, Egg Custard Tarts and Pork with Peanut Dumplings (Chiu Chow). She rang me up, I paid and she told me to be sure to bring in the itemized receipt to show that I had already paid. Fast forward to 10:20 and I received a phone call to let me know that my order was ready. We were already on the way but hit a bit of traffic that we hadn't expected. Once I arrived, I got into line. When it was my turn, our order was actually sitting on the counter, bagged up and poking out of a food warmer bag. What'd we get? Shu Mai Ha Gao Beef Balls Steamed Tofu Skins in Oyster Sauce Steamed BBQ Pork Buns Steamed Egg Custard Buns Pan Fried Stuffed Bell Peppers with Shrimp Pan Fried Chive Dumplings Pan Fried Turnip Cakes Deep Fried Sticky Rice Meat Dumpling Egg Rolls Steamed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf Congee with Pork & Preserved Egg Congee with Fish Everything was delicious as expected except the Steamed Egg Custard Buns was quite "bready" and the Custard was completely set rather than wet and flowing. No pictures this time since we've ordered most of the same items before. read more

This review is based on take out order...I ordered through Uber Eats early on a weekday ( to celebrate early Lunar New Year). Order was prepared quickly and I received it within 40 minutes. The way they packed my order was so impressed. Nothing spilled and fried item did not get soaky. Plasticware,chopsticks, napkins and sauces were separated inside another bag.... Super impressive.... Food tasted good too! read more

My go to spot! I usually order via Ubereats but it's a way better deal to just go there directly (obviously). I always get our go tos: hagao (shrimp dumpling), shumai (pork & shrimp dumpling, shrimp rice roll (like others noted, lots of rice roll with 2 pieces of shrimp but we get it anyway), turnip cake (a little mushy and would prefer it to be more pan fried), sesame balls!!! (Our favorite. They're massive and crunchy. Delicious!) This is a no frills spot. They have limited seating but we always get it to go. One of my go to dimsum spots in the bay! I recommend it for something quick & easy! read more

I decided to try DT Dim Sum after seeing a food blogger on Instagram hype it up saying it was better than Dim Sum House and that the portions were bigger. Dim Sum House has always been my go to so I wanted to compare. Prices at Dim Sum House are more reasonable and cheaper than DT Dim Sum, plus they make everything fresh to order. When I placed an online order at DT my food was ready in about five minutes. That tells me the food was already sitting in the back either steaming or being kept warm. I ordered siu mai, steamed beef balls, and steamed tofu skin with oyster sauce. Honestly all three were disappointing. The siu mai was doughy and you could really taste the flour. The steamed beef balls were terrible and tasted like pho beef balls. If you have ever had the beef balls at Dim Sum House you know how amazing they are and these were nothing like that. The steamed tofu skin had too much fungus in it and an odd odor with a strange aftertaste. I am glad I gave it a try but I will not be coming back. As for the claim that the dim sum is larger, I found it to be maybe slightly bigger or about the same size, but not worth it since it costs more and does not taste good. read more

Quality/Quantity - My wife said we used to be regular customers here, why can I not remember?!?! Maybe she used to be a regular customer?!?! Anyways - A simple "to-go" place. Decent selection, reasonable prices; but there are so many good Dim Sum places in the Bay Area, East Bay Area, etc. Decent size menu, see pictures. Atmosphere - Small to-go place. Plenty of mall parking, but I am sure it might be a challenge on weekends. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 5pm. Closed for their lunch break from 2pm to 2:30pm. Service - Counter service. I like the fact that you guys have online ordering. And delivery. Price - Reasonable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007...? read more

Went to Foodnet next-door. Was craving congee so decided to stop by here. We got the pork and preserved egg congee, as well as the siu mai, har gao, spinach dumplings, and the rice roll with beef stew. The siu mai were very plump and juicy, however, the rest of the dumplings are all very doughy. The beef stew had good umami flavor, however, the rice roll noodles with it were pretty plain/bland since they weren't marinated in the beef stew broth. The congee was great though, a little on the thicker side, but full of pork-will definitely order that again. We ordered to go and our food was ready pretty quickly. You can also order online however they do have a small service fee for doing so. I'd consider ordering the beef stew as an à la carte, but we definitely return for the congee and the siu mai. read more

Not sure why folks are hyping up this place to me. We came here hoping for good affordable dim sum, left feeling very disappointed. $41 and was left unsatisfied with tons of leftovers. I am scared to eat the rest of the food quality the not so great quality of foods we had. The quality of the dim sum here was not good. You know the food has been sitting out when they give us our good sized order in just a few minutes. The shrimp rice roll had VERY THICK rice wrapping with very little shrimp. The siu mai was OK - barely tasted any meat. The har gow was also bad - the skin broke apart when I tried to pick it up. It tasted mushy! Again, little shrimp inside. The pork spare ribs were just all bones, fat, and oil. The deep fried shrimp balls was warm and crispy on the outside, but they weren't cut. When I pulled it open with my hand, the inside was COLD, that tells me everything I needed to know. The rice porridge tasted very starchy. I thought, how can you mess this up? It's very easy to cook but I had a hard time eating this. Food quality is below average for dim sum. They don't serve water here, just bottle water for sale. Sadly, if you dine in here bring your own liquids. I believe they aim to be purely take out. $41 later and still am craving dim sum. read more

Had the pork and shrimp dumplings. Pretty good. Do wish the food came out hotter, but the food is ready fast. Not really a sit down place but there are some seats. Most people just order to go here. M read more

DT Dim Sum is located in the Windsor Square plaza. This is a busy plaza, especially on weekends when it is nearly impossible to get parking. The hours are not updated here, but they are closed for lunch from 2 PM - 2:30 PM. There is usually a wait for food, so make sure you come early enough. I do not get their dim sum anymore, as the last few times - it was pretty greasy and my friend and I had gotten sick. I only come here for their jasmine milk tea with boba and pork & preserved egg porridge. The milk tea is usually good - may be hit or miss, depending on who makes it and their boba is sometimes super melty and soft, which breaks apart as you chew on them, which is not as enjoyable. The porridge is usually decent, just a quick fix, if I am craving porridge. read more

If you don't feel like waiting in a long line at a dim sum place, and want to enjoy it at home, this is the go to place. They have great variety, you can buy items they freeze so you can cook them at home, and their hot sauce has a unique pimento taste you don't get elsewhere....and it's right next to a great Asian market. Staff is friendly and welcoming and hard-working as well. read more

I have favorites orders here and since it's still early and weekend many customers ordering. Service it's okay they do theirs best to be quick even though all is made fresh especially those deep fried. Ambiance Clean and they have few areas you can eat and wait for your food to come. read more

Friday, 4/11/3025 San Leandro, CA I just spent the week at a conference in Oakland, CA, and today I was making like a banana and splitting, but first I had to fuel up with some dim sum before hitting the airport. So we found this teeny-tiny hole in the wall, and let me tell you, it was off-the-chain delicious . The portions were ginormous, the prices were super reasonable, and the flavor was so on point that every bite left you begging for another. Check out the pics for the menu. This is a take out place with a few small tables as a sit-in. I give place a 5 star because the food was delicious and the service was quick. read more

Solid spot for takeout dim sum and congee! I ordered the congee and soy milk--both were good but not amazing. The congee was comforting, though I wish it had a bit more depth in flavor. The soy milk was fresh and not too sweet, which I appreciated. This place is mostly geared for takeout, as there are only a few tables, so I wouldn't recommend dining in. The service is quick, it's a chill vibe. Overall, a good option if you're looking for a quick and convenient bite! read more

Craving for some dimsum while we were in the area and decided to try this place. When we got there the place was empty at 1PM. We ordered, and sat in one of the two 2seater to dine-in. Orders came out quickly. I noticed people coming in and out for their pickups. You'll know when you are in a good dimsum place when people coming in are Chinese! Most of them speak the same language as the crew. In their menu, they also offer frozen goods (now I regret not buying). We will definitely go back to this place. I loved their shu mai and congee. read more

Dropped by to order my favorite ham sui gok only to be disappointed. I understand that the cost of food has rise but they totally went skimpy with the fillings. There's hardly any fillings and so I will not buy it anymore. It used to be so delicious and keeps me coming back for more, but after this recent visit I'm not sure I'll go out of my way for it. Please add more fillings and I'll try it again. Until then...this loyal customer will go will elsewhere for my fix. read more

I come here for 6 years SIX YEARS I think the dim sum is delicious but let me be clear about something, for 6 years, 60-80% of my experiences there, they continue to maintain two bad business practices here: 1. they always say they have the food ready, then later on make you wait for 10-15 minutes saying they have to start steaming from the beginning, which is a LIE. This always makes a customer who is in a rush have to wait. So why not tell the customers that the specific orders they look for are not ready? 2. This happens to me like 5 times already, they would overcharge the order. Ordered 3 items, got charged for 4 items, then was told the orders were not available anymore that I had to pick something different to eat. If I paid for 2 orders of Shu Mai, why do I need to compromise myself to eat something else I didn't order and pay for them? DT Dim Sum, you had me for 6 years, but after these many incidents of your poor business practices, I am afraid I cannot come back to this anymore read more

Great dum sum to go. The quality is great and the dum is fresh. They have a huge variety of Chinese favorite dim sum to choose from. They have great customer service and their system is efficient from ordering to pickup. They can be busy at times but well worth the wait. read more

For years, this place has been our family's favorite dim sum spot. Even though it's always busy, they've consistently managed to keep everything running smoothly. However, they dropped the ball today. I called in an order for pickup, but they forgot the drink. We had to drive back to get it. When I went to pick it up, my husband called to say that they also left out the sweet soy sauce for the rice rolls. I had to tell them and the cashier handed it to me without a bag...it was sticky on the outside. The food is usually really good, but today it was not like the previous. Specifically, the pork chive dumpling was not crispy at all. The other items, porridge, turnip cake, siu mai, and such were still good. read more

When I'm craving dim sum but don't feel like waiting for a table or sitting through a long meal, DT Dim Sum and Tea is my go-to spot!

The food is tasty, the prices are affordable, and it's such a convenient option for dim sum lovers. read more

This is a takeout only restaurant. I always get the siu mai and rice rolls doordashed for my kids. I love that they have frozen entrées so I could buy it to keep and then steam later. I've also ordered the shrimp dumplings, chive dumplings, and frozen beef stew. Taste and quality is just like other dim sum restaurants. read more

Step into this amazing dim sum place and experience the warmth and kindness of the owner and staff! Their soulful food is a testament to their passion for cooking and bringing people together. I've been coming here since the pandemic and they've always made me feel special, treating me like family. Don't miss out on their delicious dishes, especially their Hong Kong egg tart and pineapple smoothie with boba. It's a place that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. Don't miss out! The restaurant itself is so relaxing and calming and it feels like home. So visit them and show them love They have shown me so much love!

This is a to-go dim sum place, don't expect too much, the good thing is there is no line. If you are craving dim sum but don't have the time to wait for a table, this probably is a good alternative. Nothing is quite up to the Hong Kong standard. There are a few tables for dine in. They also offer porridge and soup noodle. Choices are plenty. read more

DT Dim Sum & Tea was my family's go to dim sum spot for many many years when we lived in San Leandro. I don't live that far away now, so I'll still frequent it from time to time. Recently, I've seen that they're always busy - everyone loves them! When you enter the store, they have two lines: one for in store orders and the other for phone/online orders. I typically order online ahead of time to cut down wait time. Most recently when I ordered online, it took about 20 minutes which was the perfect amount of time for me to drive over there and wait for maybe 5 min max. This time I got a shrimp dumpling/har gow. Really good but definitely best when fresh. The wrapper gets crumbly when it cools down for too long. Their fried shrimp balls are HUGE. We got 3 orders but we could've just gotten 1 or 2 and been full. I uploaded pictures but I'm not sure if they do the size justice. They've also got a lot of drinks on their menu which I'm looking forward to trying next time! read more

When i first discovered this place me and my coworker came here 3 days in a row! Its hard to find a good place to eat thats open early enough since our lunch starts 8:30AM! Dim sum never misses and this place hits the spot each time! Shumai, Har Gow and Siopao and mandatory orders and the shrimp balls are HUGE! Super delicious! Oh and the egg tarts...wow! The service is usually really quick and there are two lines for in store order and online/ call orders. The restaurant is located next to a asian grocery store and has plenty of parking! Restaurant is fairly clean has few seatings. Cant wait to come back and order some fresh egg tarts again! read more

I am still getting my Dimsum here years later and they're still really good!! They take call in orders as well if you are in a hurry. I always order the usual shu mai, shrimp dumpling, & shrimp rice roll! Service is always great as well. 10/10 recommend! read more

D T Dim Sum & Tea - Shrimp Dumpling, shu mai, Steam Shrimp Rice Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Leandro, California

Solid and reasonably priced dim sum. This is definitely a go to dim sum restaurant for us when we are in the area. During the covid shelter in place era, we picked up take out from here many times. They pivoted from a small dine in/take out to a small window at the entry of the restaurant. It was an efficient operation. The main "dining" area is open again and customers can pick up, which seems to be their bread and butter. Dining there isn't much of an option as there are only a couple small tables to accommodate. Always reliable, reasonable, and good! read more

The cleanliness of this place has gone way downhill with their workers not understanding health code. Full training and inspection is necessary. I ordered some Dim Sum today and got home and discovered one of our shrimp dumpling contained a piece of metal wire most likely from the wire sponge they use for washing utensils. I'm glad it not being eaten by us or our grand babies. Reporting to health department! read more

Great place for dim sum! They also have boba drinks. Ordered online for pickup and when I got home I realized this missed one order! I gave them a call to notify them and they did mention they packed it but I told them they are missing an order. They told me to come back in and pick it up and also gave me an extra goodie for their mistake. I would absolutely recommend this place as the service was well and proper! Prices are nice too and the inside is clean and small but a cute spot to grab a quick bite! read more

Came here for the first time with my friend on a Sunday morning. Line was short. Staff greeted us and was courteous. They had two people at the register who were super efficient in checking folks out and also calling out order numbers. I ordered some pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and steamed bbq pork buns. They were all super yummy. Usually my dumplings need sauce but neither of these did because they were flavorful. The place is limited seating. About 3 tables and few extra chairs for people waiting. Probably better for to-go orders. read more

DT Dim Sum & Tea has been one of my go-to spots during the pandemic. Their dim sum items remind me of Cantonese restaurants in the 80s - good, cheap, and lots of it. I have introduced several friends to them and they all love it. My most recent visit was on 05/21/2022. I was greeted by the owner when I walk in at around 5:30 pm. He informed me there were only a few items left. I was a little disappointed since I went out of my way to come here. Sensing my disappointment, he told me he would turn his steamer back on and make whatever I want. I was grateful of his gesture and ordered an array of steamed items (I wasn't able to get any deep-fried items because they had already started cleaning the deep fryer). The total was a very reasonable ~$65. I even got an order of potstickers on the house. I chatted with the owner while waiting for my order. He's a down-to-earth, friendly guy. He told me how inflation and crime have impacted his business and I told him the challenges law enforcement faces these days. It was a great conversation. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. It totally satisfied our dim sum craving. I really appreciated the owner's kind gesture and service. Fantastic customer service! 5 stars. read more

DT Dim Sum & Tea has online ordering via website or qMenu app for convenience of advance pickup or delivery. Not sure if the on-site prices vs online prices are comparable or marked up a bit for convenience. Regardless it is fairly reasonable cost for takeout Dim Sum. I ordered online for store pickup at a designated time. Chose the Har Gow (4 steamed shrimp dumplings in tapioca/translucent starch wrapper for $5.75), Shumai (4 steamed pork and shrimp dumplings topped with smelt egg caviar for $5.25), 3 pan-fried pork and veggie bao/dumplings for $5.25 (the veggie was just cabbage), 3 crispy fried meat dumplings for $4.85 (aka Ham Sui Gok, filled with a saucy ground pork in a puffy fried glutinous rice or mochi-like wrapper), steamed sticky rice w/ chicken wrapped in lotus leaves ($5.25), a small pork and thousand-year egg congee for $7, and a small side order of beef stew for $6. They also sell frozen dumplings in bulk for cheaper pricing and they seem to have less than a handful of available beverages (tea, soft drinks etc). I really liked the Shumai (good quality ingredients and nicely seasoned pork and good amount of shrimp) and congee (pork was shredded pieces of pork shoulder similar in consistency to pork floss, and had a good amount of thousand year old egg) the most. Hargow was flavorful and good ingredients but the wrapper didn't hold up at all and tasted mealy and overcooked. Lotus sticky rice with chicken was a good amount of chicken/protein filling ratio. Pan-fried pork and veggie dumplings tasted somewhat bland. Ham sui gok and beef stew were on par to average. I wish they had steamed gailan (chinese broccoli) on the menu and more condiments. Only soy sauce and chili paste were provided. No chili oil or chili sate sauce available. I am curious to come back and try their noodle soups next time as prices are overall reasonable and service for pickup was convenient and fast. read more

A long overdue review. I have been coming here for years since I work nearby. They were busy and popular before the pandemic and managed to be even more busy after the pandemic. It's located in a huge plaza with an asian supermarket and other shops so you should not have any trouble finding a parking spot. I usually phone in my order and drive there to pick up. From past experiences, it doesn't take more than 10-15 minutes to get my order ready. My favorite is their sesame balls (taste delicious and huge portions), wonton noodle soup, and honey green tea. Recently, I ordered the beef porridge, pork porridge, and both the shrimp and beef rice rolls from them and it's also pretty good quality for a take out dim sum place. I did see some bar seating if you prefer to dine in but majority of their customers do take out. Portion sizes, like everyone mentioned is huge, cost is very reasonable and the taste is above average for a take-out place. Service is usually very quick and they always pick up the phone when I call in my order. FYI: they are closed from 2-2:30 pm for lunch so order around those times. read more

when i first started dating my partner of almost 8 years, DT dim sum was one of the first spots he introduced me to. i LOVE siumai, and this place has the BEST ive ever tried (and yes, even includes the ones ive had in hongkong & the philippines). the dumplings at DT dimsum are big, so juicy, so fresh, and just so so so so good. it has become one of my favorite spots and will always try to visit every time we're in town. this spot is right next to a grocery store so there's alot of parking out front. for big orders, i suggest calling ahead and doing pickup. the service is fast and the place is super clean. it can get pretty busy on the weekends! read more

Delivery Review When you are as sick as a dog, you order delivery. Thank goodness for Ubereats and all the deliver services available at the tip of our fingers. I just needed some soup because I was down with the flu and decided to order a bunch of other items to last my family and me for the whole day. I ordered the wonton noodle soup for myself and other dim sum items. *Wonton Noodle Soup 2/5 Wish they included more soup and toppings and less noodles. It was not the best *Shumai and shrimp rice roll 4/5 pretty good and consistent with other dim sum restaurants *Sesame balls 2/5 It was meh, probably better fresh *Egg tarts 4/5 delicious *Sticky rice with chicken in lotus leaf 5/5 I love this stuff *chicken feet in black bean sauce 4/5 Most of the dim sum items were good and probably would've been better if I dined in. I am hoping to dine in one day. read more

This place is actually not bad! One thing I can say about this place is that they are very fast with their order! The food is packaged very efficiently and neat! The taste is a hit & miss! I'm not sure why sometimes the food is a bit bland & not warm... matter fact I even waited for the order and saw them pack it... still a bit cold. The price is moderate for the portions they give! Overall I will recommend this place the only comment I have, most likely you will need to reheat the food if your planning to eat right away! I read more
