    If Dim Sum is in the name then you have to know their dim sum is legit and this place doesn't disappoint. I absolutely must warn you though that the items like shu mai are simply massive. They're like boulders of deliciousness! The pork and shrimp dumplings were also amazing. Things are made fresh so it takes a minute for the food to show up but the wait is totally worth it.

    Salt and Pepper Fish

    This is an awesome Cantonese spot. Flavor 10/10. I always order the salt and pepper fried fish and a Siu Mai. I especially like eating the salt and pepper fried fish with white rice. IFYKYK. Their Siu Mai is freaking delicious. Get it and don't look back.

    When you don't have the time or energy to make it Monterey Park, head over to Dim Sum House. The portions are large and filling, and the flavor is impeccable. The cucumber salad was divine and can give Din Tai Fung a run for its money. All the dishes were seasoned so well and they even accommodated my very picky son with plain steamed tofu (an off menu item). There is a slight language barrier, but the language of food is universal! They were so kind and attentive, we loved it here and already planning to come back with more family and friends so we can try more of the menu. It's located in a strip mall, so plenty of parking. It's very casual atmosphere and they can accommodate large groups.

    We keep Coming back here for the seafood soup it is really excellent!!! We also order the sesame balls, The pork bao, bok choy and more.

    Shrimp roll, hargow, BBQ pork baos

    Pretty fire. Came here in the evening on the weekday and it was not too busy. I ordered 3 orders: the BBQ steamed pork baos, shrimp rice rolls, and hargow and they were all very delicious. I think 3 orders is definitely enough to share between 2 people. The price was also not too bad. It was around $28 including tip and tax I believe. I feel like nowadays it's difficult to find a dim sum place with quality food and service that's decently priced. I think my favorite out of the three would be the hargow. Not the biggest fan of shrimp (which i know is a little contradictory to my order) but the shrimp filling was so so good. The shrimp was nicely flavored and tender. Our server was actually the sweetest. He gave us egg tarts on the house which was so slay!

    Food here is pretty good & authentic. There's a parking lot too. Service is very fast. Inside is just a cute Chinese style tables of 4-12 people. Very clean! A little highly priced.

    Shumai (very large)
    David L.

    Very solid and authentic Cantonese restaurant that specializes in dim sum. Tried a variety of dishes including shumai, hagow, sticky chicken rice, chicken feet, and chasiu bun. All passed with flying colors. Only catch is all the dishes were priced around $7.99-$8.99, which is on the high side compared with Chinatown or San Gabriel valley prices. But this is West LA so I guess it's par for the course. While only one waiter covered the restaurant, service was quick and efficient. Ambiance is plain and neat. Will be back if I am in the area and craving Dimsum.

    Preserved egg and pork congee

    Decent Dim Sum spot in West LA. I visited this restaurant with a friend for lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant wasn't too busy. The interior seemed old, but not too dirty. The condiment bottles and containers needed some cleaning though. There was just one server handling all the customers at the time I went. For food, my friend and I split the following: -Chicken Feet: I'm usually not a fan of these, but the flavor of them were pretty good and savory. -Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls: These were solid, no complaints. The shrimp was plump. I've had better though. -Sesame Balls: Crispy, chewy interior, and yummy. A bit of an oily taste though. -Fried Dough Sticks: Crispy and chewy, but also a bit of an oily taste. These paired well with the congee. -Preserved Egg and Pork Rice Porridge: Hearty and yarm. Wish it had more flavor though. -Pork and Shrimp Shumai: These were meaty and good. I've had better though. -Steamed Pork Rib: Was surprised with these. The flavor was good and the meat was tender. Also, we had an awkward experience here. The server let in a beggar who made an announcement to the entire restaurant begging for money. While it was somewhat admirable for him to do that, it was not appropriate for the setting especially since there were kids present. I felt pressured to donate and also felt unsafe. Overall, the food was decent, but there are better options for Dim Sum in the 626 area. This is pretty solid for West LA, but on the pricier side so I don't know if I would come back again to pay for this. I would eat it if it was given to me though.

    Ok I need to take a moment for this delicious meal, this is One of the best dim sum restaurant from the west side LA, it is fresh made, you can taste the skin is very thin(because it is hand made, non like the one from frozen whole seller) the vegetables stir fry are fresh made, it is yummy crunchy and delicious. My favorite is the Chang fen, the shrimp is huge and generous putted and fold it. I'll definitely call there food made with love, the chef is so sweet gave us 3 fresh made egg tarts. I am definitely going back anytime soon! Thank you for making such a good quality food, I appreciate it! If you like dim sum Everyone, run, don't walk!

    Very solid dim sum! I am always looking for good Asian food on the west side and dim sum house always has me coming back for more. Very solid, Asian owned and operated 10/10 recommend

    Metal found in shrimp noodle roll
    Katherine P.

    Wanted to give this place another try but sadly had another bad experience. The shrimp wasn't cleaned in the rice noodles roll. Siumai lacked flavor. Beef roll was very greasy. They didn't even include the sauce for the shrimp noodle rolls and the beef rolls. But the worst part was halfway into the shrimp roll, my husband found a long piece of metal! Never again

Service was worse than could be expected. We were a table for 2 at 9:30AM on a Saturday. We didn't expect to be sat immediately, but we definitely did not expect for three walk-ins *after* us to be sat before we were. Parties of 3, 5, and 8 were all sat before us. I understand as a host, you must maximize space and seat according to size but seriously? They simply didn't want to waste a *whole table* on 2. After 25 minutes they sat us at a 6-person table in the back corner and she said, "You share this table," implying we would be a group table if another small party walked in. Then, no menu, no water, no napkins, no plates until we asked for each individually. Lo and behold, there were still at least 5 open tables an hour later, and we did not in fact need to have other parties join us... the food was definitely not worth this treatment.

Service was a little spotty but I am a diner who is pretty low maintenance once I get my order hahaha.

What also really bothered me was seeing someone in the kitchen eating while still assisting customers and handling/serving food. That came across as very unprofessional and made the experience even more disappointing. The food itself was good, but the lack of attentiveness, communication, and professionalism really took away from the overall experience.

Are they some of the best dim sum items you will find? Not exactly, but they are fairly decent and $10 can stretch very far at this bakery.

FOOD: Fried Shrimp Balls - 9.0 / 10 Up there with any Chinese restaurant's dim sum. Understandably smaller over the years. Pro-tip: heat these bad boys in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. Serve alongside sweet & sour sauce. Pork Shumai - 9.0 / 10 Again, up there with any of your typical sit-down dim sum place. Pro-tip: make an easy + quick sipping sauce with 1/3 soy sauce + 2/3 spiced white vinegar. You're welcome Shrimp Har gow - 8.9 / 10 One of the most traditional Cantonese dumplings. Incredibly light. If you plan to eat these later, I highly suggest steaming them as the outer skin can get dry. There's so, so much food here, but whenever I am in the area, these are my non negotiables. Seriously, it is such a life-hack to be able to do a "Panda Express" style order for more traditional Chinese / Chinese-American favorites without all the hoopla. Don't be surprised if there's a line, depending on what time of the day you go.

Like, one time I was watching Project Runway, a season finale episode, where the designers make their own creations, and do not have to make their ensembles from shredded newspaper or bird seeds or pinata remnants. And after a so-and-so of the fashion industry said, "I wanted to go and rip that jacket off the model." This other time, I saw a poster for a coming musical and it said, "stop everything you are doing, and go this musical now" says this important person in the theathre world. What am I am trying to say is that the comment I wanted to do this immediately or drop everything and do this immediately is so overwrought and widely used that it lost all meaning. Kind of like calling this place an institution. So I will call this place what I should to not be drown in my own trite. One time I went to this place and I went cause I was invited to a birthday party. And it was a large group of people. Me and a friend debated if Penny, from the Big Bang, had eaten at this place. She was also in Charmed--- it is a household name, I can't remember it. So this place is famous enough to be a go to move, and it has many pictures of celebrities that have gone there. The food is also super good, so this place, like I said is an insititution. When I went there a second time, I was more aware of the place I was visiting and kind of was ready to receive its Chinese fare with an unhinged jaw. I was dining with a friend, the same friend that I had the is that Penny from Big Bang debate? It was not. She eventually one. But like she and I ate here again, without knowing we were going to the same place. I would say its a small world but.... She and I ate with gusto. It does not take a lot to know that the speciality of the house is their slippery shrimp. They also have slippery chicken and slippery tofu. Super good, sweet, sour but it was not sweet and sour sauce shrimp, it had differences. I am not sure what. There were some heat notes but not like terrible heat. So I am not exactly sure what this place does to make their slippery sauce but let us just that it was delicious and different than other Chinese food sauces. Ronnie and I had the works. Rice, Beef with Brocoli, Pan fried dumplings, and dumpings. It was the type of Chinese food that was so good a coke was needed to balance the decadent saltiness of the fare. Yeah, that might not make sense but I wrote what I wrote. We had eniugh food to share between the two of us. It was that type of meal, where leftovers were welcomed and made sense. They were not left over, they were left untouched because it would be a shame to not enjoy them later. The service was great. The place felt traditional, and like it took you to an alley in China to eat a grandmother's food who knows how to use a Wok and pinch dumplings so they stay close for good. I saw this bad review that skewered this place. And I am like wow! How can we be so different. Not like Ying and Yang Different, more like flutter and flatten. But taste is subjective, so decide for yourself if this place is a peacock worthy of its feathers or a tiger with its claws clipped.
