A1. Shu Mai (5pcs) & A7. Four Piece Shrimp Har Gow.
Kevin M.

Came to Dim Sum King Master for a lunch break since I was craving some dim sum. I had ordered some food to go once with my wife for the Shu Mai and the Shrimp Har Gow and it was tasty. The location wasn't too busy at all at the time and I could sit wherever I pleased. They have a decent amount of booths and regular table seating. There's a lot of action going on during business hours, with walk ins, dine ins and delivery orders. The menu offers different menu tiers for their dim sum. The staff also offered complimentary hot tea. I ordered some Shu Mai, Shrimp Har Gow and Rice Noodle Roll with Shrimp. To not the Shu Mai has 5pc and other dim sum spots might serve 3 or 4pc on their orders. Each item came out at different times. As far as the Rice Noodle Roll it wasn't my favorite and one I might not order again. The Shu Mai and Har Gow were all up to par and delicious. Overall, service and food were fine. I'd order here again, but probably for to-go orders.

Service was a miss the recent time we came, not enough plates and cups for our party of 3. Our food came at different times and the tea in the pot was very weak. The thai tea drink we ordered came mid meal and the turnip cake came sooo late and in a to go container. They also got our order wrong by giving us some baos which we didn't touch and had them take back and they tried to charge us for it. All the food tasted good though, the egg tarts are delicious! It's quiet in the restaurant but quite a few people came and went for to go orders.

Clean, cool dining area

Forget about your usual bacon, pancakes & coffee. Hong Kong style dim sum breakfast is worth craving for like a big bowl, I mean BIG bowl of steaming hot congee or rice porridge with generous fillings of century egg & shredded chicken. We paired it with thick fried turnip cakes & haim sui gok (ground meat wrapped in crunchy, chewy mochi & deep fried). Satisfying & scrumptious for an affordable price of $8.69 which is in their special breakfast menu served daily from 9-11am. It goes with free hot tea! Food served are freshly cooked to order. Who can beat that? When I mentioned that their restaurant is worthy of being featured in food apps, they reciprocated kindly with complimentary refreshing lemon iced tea & new on the menu pigs in a blanket (Chinese sausage wrapped in pillowy bun dough) which we requested for take home because we're already stuffed with what we just ate! It's a clean dining eatery & comfortable enough to enjoy your meals. Try other dishes in their menu whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner & you'll agree you can skip driving way out to LA Chinatown! Plenty of parking on weekday mornings in a Haven City hub. So what are you waiting for?

Background On Visit: After deciding not to play pickleball, I decided that I wanted to have breakfast. My two options were to have Portos or Dim Sum King Master. I guess I chose dim sum king master, because of less wait time and that parking wouldn't be an issue. Stage Of Establishment: It's still it's soft opening stage even though it's been open for some time already. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restroom: They have a restroom. Location/Parking: Located in the same plaza as Haven City Market. Decent amount can be found in the shared lot. Ambiance/Decor: Chill ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service was good. The staffers were nice and friendly. Food Of Choice: Decided on the breakfast special which included the preserved egg and salted pork congee and a side for $1 more. I chose the steamed turnip cake. Congee was flavorful and the steamed turnip cake was quite delicious. Dim Sum King Master For Thought: Would like patronize the shop and try their roasted duck.

​We had a cozy, pleasant meal here, and at roughly $50 for three people, it was a pretty good value. Our favorite item was the char siu rice rolls, which had thin sheets with perfect silky texture, and excellent flavor. The siu mai was plump and juicy with a nice bit of shiitake mushroom and no chunks of fat fillers. We were also impressed by the salt and pepper fish; the coating was light and crispy, while the fish was mild and tender inside. I enjoyed the subtle salted flavor of this dish, but to be fair since it is called "salt and pepper" fish, it was a little light on the seasoning. ​The chicken feet had a unique, sweet star anise flavor that I was not used to. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy this. The steamed pork ribs were tender, but mild in taste. I can't even remember what this tasted like anymore. We were already planning to order the stir fried soy sauce noodles, so it was a nice surprise when we learned that with their current promotion, It was complimentary for spending over $30. The noodles itself was missing that dry, 'wok hei' touch and included some non-traditional carrots. The flavor was still good while hot, but felt soggy towards the end. The brown sugar sponge cake was a complete disappointment, which was dense and rubbery. I typically make this homemade from scratch and was thinking I could get a good comparison. Would not recommend. I do think they made this fresh to order for us, and it came out within 20 minutes, which is impressive? Despite the poor product. I would probably still come back here if I was in the area shopping and craving dimsum.

Chicken Feet

My recent online takeout order from Dim Sum King Master in West Covina was ehh could be better. The convenience factor was a definite plus the online ordering system allowed me to set a pickup time, and my food was hot and ready right on schedule. I ordered a classic spread of chicken feet, beef noodle rolls, egg tarts, shu mai, baked BBQ pork buns, and beef chow fun (dry style). The egg tarts were a definite win; they had a nice flaky crust and a filling that wasn't overly sweet. The shu mai, baked buns, and chow fun were all solid and what you'd expect. However, a couple of dishes fell a bit short. The chicken feet were disappointingly firm and lacked the tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture I was looking for. Similarly, the beef noodle rolls felt a bit skimpy on the beef, with way too much green onions overpowering the dish. Overall while some items were great, others could use some improvement. I'd like to try their other dishes to get a feel for what other close to authentic dim sum I can get.

I think it's a mom and pop shop, everyone's pretty friendly and the prices are about the same as anywhere else. It's a good place for something quick if you live in the neighborhood. The menu for dim sum is also limited compared to other spots but there are a few popular selections. They also have main dishes like fried rice and roasted meats. Out of every thing I ordered I only liked the shu mai and pork buns. I'm not sure if the food was made in house or pre bought/ machine manufactured. The flavors were just ok and I would only come back if I needed a quick fix because I'm craving dim sum and didn't want to drive out too far. With that being said I'd only come back for the 2 items I really enjoyed and it's definitely on my takeout list for those 2 items.

This place to be a dim sum king and master. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Lots of people so service is a bit slow. They're family owned and operated and got some awesome deals. I got their xiu mai, sesame balls, beef chow fun, cha shao rice, honey baked cha shao bao, and cha shao bolo bao to try. Can you tell I like cha shao? Anywaysss Their xiu mai was MASSIVE, perfectly juicy, bouncy, and umami. The sesame balls had a crisp nutty exterior with a chewy mochi interior and had plenty of sweet red bean filling. The beef chow fun had bouncy noodles, good wok hey, and lots of meat but could use a bit more salt. The cha shao rice could've used more meat but what there was was super tender, flavorful, umami, perfectly sweet and savory. The honey baked chashao bao had more of that amazing cha shao inside with a nice chewy, pillowy, sweet, bready bun. Same with the cha shao bolo but I liked it more cuz it had an extra flakey, buttery, sweet cookie top that made the contrast between the sweet bun and savory cha shao even better. Overall this place is pretty good. Xiu mai $5.68 Sesame balls $5.38 Beef chow fun $13.99 Cha shao rice $9.99 Honey baked cha shao bao $5.38 Cha shao bolo bao $5.68 $46.10

This may be an old post or a current situation. Either way, it's not a good experience.

We wanted to try some place new. Saw DSKM and it was pretty empty--only one other couple having dinner. Sat and orders hot tea, water, and Thai iced tea. Thai tea and cups for hot tea came pretty quickly. I figured they were making the hot tea? Server came back and took our order. We ordered fried rice and a few dim sum plates. Shu mai came almost immediately. Then 10 mins later the fried rice. Hot tea never came. I reminded the server for the hot tea and glass of water (water was needed to cut the Thai tea due to sugar content.) So we're now maybe 20 mins in. The subsequent items arrived along with the water and hot tea. We NEVER saw our server again. My guess is that he went to the back to help make our order--who knows? By this time, other customers came in for pick up and to eat in. We needed more drinks and utensils. The female server stood at the table next to us speaking in Chinese (guessing). She never even looked at us so I couldn't get her attention. I ended up getting up and getting my own water refill and utensils. Then I noticed a sign that says people are in training. I figured maybe this was why service was so poor. After dinner, I needed a box and the check. We sat for about 15 mins and saw no one. We didn't know if we go to the register to pay or they bring the check. There was no one to ask. We could have just walked out and they wouldn't have known. I pull out my phone and CALL the restaurant! The phone goes unanswered TWICE! I called a third time and the female answered. I say, "we are sitting at the corner table and need the check. So I come to the register or will you bring the check?" She is so confused and asks if I'm outside!!! I asked again for the check and she passed the phone to another person. The gentleman apologized and quickly came out to bring the check! My friend and I each put our credit cards on the check tray. He takes it, brings it back, and charged the entire meal on ONE CARD. I just don't get it. Food was okay but considering the horrible service, we won't be back. If they are truly training staff, I hope they get it together soon.

Great space and lots of yummy options! Highly recommend for group settings and they do catering too! Dimsum catering, they don't really have this in the bay area. Also, this is a small fam business, love supporting local. Service decently fadt with orders. The food tastes like a warm hug from grandma, which I love. Very cozy. I'd come back again.

This small takeout/dine in dim sum spot in west covina have some tasty dishes. We were craving some dimsum , but didn't want to go to the usual full service version , so we stop by this location. You order from the menu, with picture, and they will bring it out. Comes out steam hot, with your usual selection, as well as congee, soy sauce noodle and the Chinese donut . There's a few combo style so if you have friends , pick a few and you will have selection. Portions are nice . Prices are very reasonable . Came by on another occasion already .

A solid choice if you're craving dim sum. Dim Sum master isn't like your traditional dim sum restaurant with the ladies pushing the carts around. Here you order at the counter: either for dine in or to go. Some items are made fresh, and some are ready on the steamer. The food here is pretty solid as I tend to order the steamed rice roll with bbq pork, sticky rice with chicken & mushroom inside a lotus leaf, and the bean curd with pork. The restaurant isn't too large but it is in a large plaza with plenty of parking. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area!

Mmmm delicious chow fun noodles!

However, if you order To-Go, the process is very EASY and smooth. On a weekday, I ordered the Crab Roe & Pork Xiao Long Bao ($15 - 8 Pieces), Fish & Coriander Dumplings ($14 - 8 Pieces), Shanghai Shrimp and Pork Wonton ($15), and Crab Meat Egg White Soup ($15) on the phone for To-Go. The lady on the phone spoke fluent English, and she spoke with an upbeat and cheerful personality. My food was ready for pickup in 30 minutes. Concerning parking, it's not too bad. Parking is available but competitive. The location has many cars searching for spots since this plaza includes the popular 85 degrees bakery. When I'd arrived that Monday, there was already a HUGE line of people waiting for Dine-In. I just walked in to approach the counter. Staff requested my phone number for pickup, and Staff moved very efficient and business-like. Regarding the food, it was DIVINE. The flavors and textures were impeccable. I happily feasted. The dumplings, wontons, and xia long bao all had the springy, sought-for texture. And each piece was STUFFED with fresh ingredients. SO TASTY! And the Crab Meat soup overflowed with crab and hot liquid which left me satisfied and full. I felt so happy... Overall, Thumbling (West Covina) continues to be a must-try if in the area. The food is very authentic, affordable, and delicious. Personally, I'd only order for To-Go since the crowds are a bit intense, but Thumbling (West Covina) deserves all the love. 5 out of 5. If curious, just go.

During the day they serve dim sum, and at night they switch over to Cantonese seafood dishes. I've eaten here many times for dim sum. They offer both traditional sit down service and a takeout counter in the front if you're in a hurry. The dim sum is solid and definitely hits the spot. Since I live nearby, it's one of those convenient spots I find myself coming back to. This visit was for dinner. We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. We got green bean soup and some ma lai gao, which was a nice way to finish dinner. Overall, Ocean Bo is one of those neighborhood gems that has stood the test of time. It may not be the trendiest restaurant around, but it's reliable, serves good Cantonese food, and keeps the locals coming back.

We arrive around 2pm and there was no wait. You order off a form and the food arrives quickly because they have most of it pre-made and ready for take out in the back. Here are my thoughts on the following: - har gow: decent and STUFFED with shrimp - siu mai: super juicy and probably the best siu mai I've ever had - shrimp rice roll: decent, nothing to write home about - ham sui gok (deep fried meat dumpling): good, but not as airy as I like them, but still good - soy sauce chow mein: super bland - egg tarts: one of them was perfect, the other two were too runny like they hadn't been set properly, but the custard was sweet and balanced perfectly with the flaky crust - egg yolk bun: my bf really liked these, but I thought the filling was a tad too grainy for my liking All in all, I was pretty impressed with Ocean Bo and would recommend.

When we asked for Siu Mai, they told us it was currently "being steamed." We ended up waiting an hour, all while watching a cart lady stand completely still, completely ignoring the floor, and just chitchatting with her coworker. We tried repeatedly to make eye contact and wave someone over, but no one bothered to look our way. When we finally caught the server's attention, she didn't even bother walking over! She literally talked over two tables and said "hi what do you want?!" The absolute kicker? It wasn't until we were completely fed up and visibly getting ready to leave that they rushed over to stamp our dim sum card so we couldn't just walk out, and only then did they scramble to heat up our food. Completely disorganized, wildly rude staff, and a total waste of time. Save your money and go anywhere else.

We were placed in the back room, which felt a little more calm compared to the main dining area. Service was good.

Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. The har gow were plump and juicy, the rice noodle rolls were soft and silky, and the BBQ pork buns had that perfect slightly sweet, fluffy texture.

It's not a big deal but it did feel a bit like discrimination for whatever unknown reason, because I was definitely not the youngest looking one by far. When we complained about this, the server stopped but never apologized to me. Not all servers have these kinds of issues, but just a heads up that these things can happen.

The minced chicken lettuce wraps were fresh and super flavorful, and the egg drop soup was pure comfort in a bowl and came out piping hot. The absolute standout was definitely the deep fried fish fillet. The batter was super light and airy, and the fish inside was perfectly flaky and tender. We paired it all with the vegetable lo mein, which was loaded with veggies and the noodles weren't mushy at all, which is always a win. Portions are good, everything feels fresh, and it definitely hits the spot. We have been dining here for years and will continue to do so!
