    First time here I came here looking for some pork buns, they only had steamed ones available so I went ahead and ordered some. All food is take out Menu is kind overwhelming as they have tons of signs posted and offer an extensive variety of items You can call ahead and place your order. Parking is super limited, prices are reasonable Order was ready in about 10 min, my daughter really enjoyed the buns

    Ordered five frozen items to go: dumplings with shrimp/pea shoots, honey roasted bbq pork bun, cabbage and pork bun, lotus wrapped sticky rice, chicken feet with black bean sauce. Tried the bbq pork bun and was top quality. Note, it is the steamed not oven baked bun. Will update with future pictures as my mouth beat me to the camera. Price-wise, most economical in comparison to grocery stores and restaurants for frozen and fresh. Verified at a variety of Asian supermarkets that the frozen items sold here is the cheapest and best quality minus some Costco dimsum. Parking is limited to two spaces in front and the nearby neighborhood. Dropped by on weekend afternoon and was easily able to snag a spot in front.

    Idk how come I never heard of this place as I'm in this area about once a month, but I've missed out since supporting other long time spots I shopped at. My new go to spot since the other spot stoped serving dim sum. Lucky for them they have a new repeat customer for life. Great fresh made dim sum plates while you wait or what I like is they sell frozen made dim sum products for the house.

    These dumplings were as delicious as ones I've bought from San Francisco Chinatown....full of flavor, not overly expensive like the restaurants in Castro Valley. I love this and recommend them for others who are fussy about Chinese food.

    I can vouch that the food tastes better than it looks! My favorite was the chicken feet! It was not too salty, just the right amount of flavor. The Siu Mai was my second favorite! The dim sum here is definitely worth the price! If there is one thing to change, I would wish that the steamed sponge cake uses brown sugar. This would be a lot healthier and it would also taste better with the hint of burnt taste from the brown sugar.

    I had a craving for dim sum on this late afternoon and couldn't rush out to pay a personal visit. Luckily online delivery provided the food. My order consists of sesame balls, fried taro balls, lotus leaf sticky rice, pork spare ribs, and stuffed bean curd rolls. They all came warm and ready to eat just provide my own hot tea and I am at a tea house. Not only were they warm, they were flavorful. In additional, they were competitively priced.

    What a hidden gem! Dim sum has gotten really expensive at a lot of places in the east bay, but Dim Sum House still sells quality dim sum at AFFORDABLE prices. Most dishes are under $5 (about $1.25/dumpling) while other places are charging nearly double that. It is a true "hole in the wall" located in a neighborhood. Parking is limited to street parking but you shouldn't have a problem if you are open to walking a little. They accept credit card. You can order in advance by calling or texting their number. I opted to order in person and the wait was about 20 min for my food. Not bad considering how much I ordered. I came around 10 AM on a Sunday and there was no line. Food was delicious. Everything we ordered was great! The sui mai was probably my favorite. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Found this Dim Sun restaurant on Instagram. The reviews all sounded positive so off to Hayward for Dim Sum take-out. I learned a couple of things on my first trip. The service is very good, the Dim Sum is cooked fresh while you wait, if you order on-line you can shorten your wait time, you can park around the corner in the neighborhood if you don't find street parking in front of the restaurant and they have a variety of frozens. I took pictures of the menu of what they sell. We ordered Sui Mai, XLB, Baked Pork Buns, Pork Puffs and steamed rice roll with shrimp. I forgot to take pictures of the food. All if it was fresh, we had to microwave the dim sum because it took about 35 minutes to get home. We need to try Dim Sum House again and eat it in the car, it will probably taste better fresh out of the steamers. The service is very good, food is good but nothing stood out as best dim sum ever but fresh and well priced for Dim Sum. We plan to go again, buy some new items and some repeat dumplings. I would recommend stopping in and ordering some Dim Sum or frozen to take home. They take many different forms of payment including Venmo.

    1/2/25 FYI, owner sister suggested just getting the regular sticky rice.

    4.4 stars today, so sorry I had to round down. But I can see a 5 star rating soon! Quality/Quantity - Today we got the following: Two bags of frozen dim sum - Siu Mai and Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow). As for our fresh order: Shrimp Rice Roll - Two orders, small quantity compared to their competitors but their price also reflects that. The sauce was light, good thing I have extra soy sauce at home. Beef Rice Roll - Two orders, see above. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Good, but also smaller quantity than their competitors. 3 come in an order. Fish Siu Mai - This was a test for us. Basically a fish ball with a Siu Mai wrapper. I actually liked it. Atmosphere - Small local to-go place. White zone in front for parking two or three cars. Plenty of street parking. Open 6 days a week from 9am to 5pm; closed Mondays. Service - 5 stars, the sister is so friendly and nice. Frozen Har Gow was sold out, so she went out of her way to get me an order, hence the different packaging in my photo. Oh, and congrats to the brother with the newborn (2-3 months old now). Price - $70, inexpensive for dim sum. But do keep in mind that their dim sum sizes are smaller than their competitors. As usual, I overbought for lunch today. This was just for my daughter and I, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. I am becoming a regular customer.

    I am always on the hunt for a good takeout dim sum spot. As much as I love gathering with friends or family for yum cha at a sit down restaurant on a Saturday morning, there's just something that hits different from being able to pick up a batch of freshly steamed dim sum and eat it in the comfort of your own home. In my case, most of our order did not make it home as I started scarfing it down immediately in the car... Stopped by here on a Friday morning around 11 am and ordered a ton of items to satisfy our dim sum cravings. We got the fried glutinous rice / salty pork dumpling (ham sui gok or the "football" as my husband affectionately calls it), fried taro puffs, siu mai, har gow, sticky rice in lotus leaf, pan fried turnip cake, chicken feet, spare rib with black bean sauce, and bbq pork rice rolls. Everything is made to order so all of the food came out piping hot and fresh. I loved everything but the ham sui gok, har gow and turnip cake were all standouts for me for their flavor, texture and overall preparation. These are typically my go to items though and Dim Sum House does it well. We also tried to get baked bbq pork buns but they said you have to come when they open to get these as they sell out quick! This is a small hole in the wall that seems to be well known and loved by locals. There's no parking lot but a lot of street parking and most of the street is residential. There isn't any room to wait inside. Orders usually take about 10 minutes but can be longer if it's busy. You can call or text them to place your order which is a huge plus, and they do WeChat as well! They also take credit card and Apple Pay. I thought the prices were very reasonable and most items cost approximately $4-5 for an order (3 pcs).

    I popped in for Lunar Year. Friendly service, prices are great! Takeout only. Street parking only. I highly recommend for traditional Cantonese options. Food is made fresh. Took less than 10 minutes. No waiting when I arrived but a few folks began trickling in afterwards. Lucky me! I ordered fish dumplings and a pork bun. Delish :) Gong hei fat choy!

    Got some dim sum items to go. Not my first time here, if I am in the vicinity, I always get some frozen or fresh dim sum take out. Service is very speedy and accurate. Ambiance is a very casual, small, hole in the wall mom and pop shop, only for take out. There is no seating. In the Bay Area, I would say the frozen dim sum is one of the best. Price is affordable too.

    This is the restaurant of choice for my wife's family gatherings, and she has a pretty big family,…read moreso we're here quite a bit. To be honest, Fusion used to be terrible, and I used to absolutely hate coming here. Food was slow in coming, what came out was often cold, the dining room was loud, and service was impersonal, at best. On one visit, half the menu was unavailable, requested silverware was crooked, and numerous glasses, bowls, and plates were chipped or damaged. On another visit, I saw multiple families sneak out of the restaurant, walk to McDonald's across the plaza, and smuggle food back in to tide them over until their orders came. After a while, I wasn't alone in meeting the decree of, "come to Fusion on Saturday," with a groan. However, when HL Peninsula opened in Castro Valley and established itself as a threat to Fusion's business, it served as a wake-up call. Food immediately got better (from "below-average" to "know what to order and you'll be fine"), the speed of service improved, and food temperature became consistent and proper. It's not QUITE a "different restaurant" feel, and there are still some negatives. It's still loud and service could still be better (there have been times where chicken wings have taken over an hour to come out, which is a "should not occur"). However, at least I don't dread coming here anymore.

My group and I stopped by recently for morning dim sum, and we were incredibly impressed by the changes. The Atmosphere & Vibes The modern, newly remodeled interior looks fantastic. The space feels much brighter, cleaner, and more upscale than before, making it a wonderful environment for everything from a casual family breakfast to a larger celebratory gathering. They've managed to create a contemporary look while keeping the welcoming energy alive. The Food: A Noticeable Step Up While the new decor is great, the real star of the show is the improved flavor and quality of the dim sum. You can tell they've refined their recipes and perhaps brought in some fresh culinary talent. Here were the standouts from our meal: Baked BBQ Pork Buns (Cha Siu Bao): Absolute perfection. The tops had that ideal, sweet, crumbly crust, and the pork filling was savory, rich, and not overly gelatinous. Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow): A true test of any dim sum kitchen. The skins were perfectly translucent and delicate without tearing, packed with plump, snappy shrimp that tasted incredibly fresh. Siu Mai: Flavorful, juicy, and well-seasoned. The texture was spot-on--not dense or heavy. Egg Tarts (Dan Tat): The puff pastry was beautifully laminated and flaky, holding a perfectly smooth, warm, and subtly sweet egg custard. Service & Value Despite the upgraded ambiance and food quality, the service remains efficient and attentive. Teas were kept hot and refilled promptly, and the dishes arrived fresh and steaming from the kitchen.

We also shared the pork sung bun which was... different. We weren't expecting the bun to be filled with more mayo than they put on the fish sandwich! haha. Not my favorite. I also got the butter pineapple bun and toasted it at work. Don't get the hype about these either! The bakery offers more dim sum variety. I tried a fried mochi pork thing from my other coworker that was pretty good. Good for cheap food and heavy on the bread haha. Idk if it would be a go-to spot for me though.

    My family celebrated my dad's 87th birthday here. When we arrived, the restaurant was busy, but…read morethere were still seats available. My sister had reserved our tables a few days in advance. The staff told her we wouldn't be seated unless our entire party was present. About 4 people were late, but they still seated us. The restaurant kind of felt old and somewhat dirty. But hey, it was my dad's birthday. I wasn't paying for lunch. We occupied three tables and ordered from both the lunch and dim sum menus. I enjoyed dishes like shiu mai, pork buns, walnut shrimp, fried rice, fish, and fried noodles. The sesame balls were tasty, but the service was slow, and I had to follow up on our order. I didn't care for the bun with the hot dog or the other noodle dish. Later that day, my daughter mentioned she had found hair in a pork bun and that her cousin had eaten it. She also said every item he picked up had hair on it, which was disappointing. I didn't confirm this with my cousin, but it would have been helpful to have someone inform the staff. Fortunately, no one at our table found hair in their food, which was a relief. Overall, the food that I ate was fine, but I wouldn't make a special trip from San Jose to visit again...unless it's a fambam family treat.
