I'm back y'all. In today's world, a dim sum joint is needed. Meeting up with family for Sunday tea or just want a casual fried siu mai on the way to Vegas, definitely this is the spot. Blasting away Rhianna and Kanye in the background, the family running the shop is top notch. Yeah there some growing pains, but they learning and growing as they go. An innocent "please bear with us, staff in training" is all I needed to know that this food is going to be highly decent and humble. Ordered the shrimp dumpling and the beef balls. Shrimp dumplings were fantastic for the price. Beef balls (ground beef shaped in to a ball - steamed meatball with water chestnuts and flavored with aged mandarin peel) were HUGE AND super flavorful. Got the turnip cake and saved it for breakfast the next day. Lastly got a Duck and Cha Siu (BBQ PORK Chinese) rice platter (choose 2 meats) and the owner was nice enough to slip in some of the best parts of their soy sauce chicken. 4.7/5 - Highly decent dim sum joint in the West Covina area. Bring your family and be nice to the family that runs the joint! read more

Decided to meet up with some friends for dim sum here and the establishment accommodated to our big group exceptionally. The food was phenomenal and well made with love. My favorite dishes were the shu mai, ha cheung, beancurd rolls, and the bbq pork buns. The service was fast and the server was very nice. This is a spot I would stop by on the daily if I'm in the area and craving dim sum. read more

I came here with an excitement but walk out with disappointment. Everything we ordered were not good. The chicken feet seems stayed there for awhile, it dried out and bland, I came here mainly for two dishes: noodles and bbq pork and thank God, noodle dish is the best among of them. Never tasted BBQ pork like that before..From texture to presentation, some pieces are super tender, some are dry, in general it wasnt good and its weird that they dont have the same texture..Shiumai is bland. I'll never come back here.. read more

Came here for dim sum around 1pm on a Sunday, and it was definitely busy -- they seemed a bit understaffed and overwhelmed, so service was a little slow at times. That said, all our food came out hot and fresh, and everything tasted great! * Shrimp Har Gow: 10/10 -- perfectly steamed and juicy. * Chicken Feet: 9/10 -- flavorful and tender. * Pork Soup Dumplings: 8/10 -- good broth and texture, but could've been a touch hotter. * Hot Braised String Beans: 10/10 -- crisp, garlicky, and full of flavor. * Egg Drop Soup: 8/10 -- comforting and well seasoned. * Shiu Mai: 10/10 -- classic and perfectly done. Overall, delicious dim sum with a few service hiccups due to the rush. I'd definitely come back, maybe at a less busy time. read more

Of all the restaurants in the HK plaza, this is my favorite spot to dine. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. They have so many unique and traditional dishes. My favorites are the chicken feet, shumai, and the duck of course. Glad I found this gem and I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

Went on opening week. Sign said people were in training. Din sum was at par, and the service was good. The dishes looked very spotted, but I think they should consider dishes that look spotless and clean. It's cool they have duck as well, but I did not try it. Happy they have a din sum place here generally. read more

Glad Dim Sum King Master has opened in West Covina because there aren't really any dim sum restaurants in the area. This is more of a grab-and-go kind of dim sum spot, but you could also dine in as well. I have visited twice since they've opened, and the items I would recommend getting (and that I would personally get every visit) are their shrimp har gow, shiu mai, and red bean sesame ball. Their other dim sum dishes are okay, just not my personal faves. All in all, this is a no frills dim sum spot that's a good option for take-out. read more

I ordered the rice with scrambled eggs with beef and the roast pork in rice . The taste of the food is very good. If you enjoy good Chinese food at a good price this is your place . read more

Grand Opening day, don't want to be too critical since it looks like a family ran place it's just a soft opening but there's definitely things that need working on. My first issue is this, we went in around 5:30p (they close at 7pm), it seems like they turned everything off already, many of the dim sum items were stone cold. They really shouldn't turn it off until maybe 15-30 kinda before closing. Cold dim sum is rarely good and re-heated isn't great either. The good....yang chow fried rice & turnip cake. Everything else (shui mai, steamed egg yolk bun, chicken sticky rice wrap, beancurd roll with pork, rice roll tasted mediocre but probably because they were cold. Egg yolk in the steamed bun had actually turned hard and no longer runny like it should be, rice roll was supposed to have bbq pork but I think they gave me the plain one because it had diced Chinese broccoli and no meat, beancurd roll was chunkier than usual because they put other stuff not usually found in it. Will definitely return to try it during lunch time and hopefully it's better or at least piping hot. Advice to the owner, keep the dim sum hot until almost closing. read more

I am a fan of the Dim Sum King in El Monte, so we had to try the new restaurant in West Covina. The staff are still learning since they have just opened. They are a bit pricier and slower than the El Monte restaurant, so I do not believe they are the same franchise (but could be wrong.) Overall, the food is delicious. The shopping center is near the Haven food court, so the parking lot gets busy on the weekends. read more

Was drawn to the Pokemon plushies on the wall and stayed for the food. West Covina is in dire need of a good dim sum restaurant and Dim Sum King Master rose to the occasion. They only opened a month ago and I hope they stay for a very long time. I need my dim sum fix without the crazy wait times!! The staff are all very eager, friendly, and attentive, with the majority of them being the owner's family. I liked how wide open the place is, makes it very family friendly for those who need to bring in a stroller. The food is delicious, with a nostalgic flavor and generously portioned. I loved their pork and century egg congee, it was enough to feed three of us with leftovers. And I highly recommend the fried shrimp balls, it reminded me of Culinary Class Wars. Everything I ordered were perfectly seasoned bites without any greasiness. I also appreciated the little touches like extra big straws that makes it easier for kiddos to drink from and eco friendly paper to go containers. read more

5/29 Finally had an opportunity to try their dim sum. I feel Dim sum tastes better served fresh and hot so not something good for take out. Overall, we enjoyed the variety of dim sum we ordered. IMO, the dim sum would have been better if the items had been hot rather than warm. We ordered shu mai, bean curd rolls, garlic spareribs, sesame balls, rice noodle with bq pork and beef chow fun. Hubby said the shu mai was good. He said the filling was tasty. The garlic spareribs is cooked with kobocha squash - not my favorite. I prefer taro...but that's a personal preference. The ribs were tasty though. The rice noodles came out last after we had pretty much finished eating. Having said that, they were still good. The texture of the rice noodle was smooth. The only item I would not order again are the sesame balls. These looked like the frozen variety. Once again..red bean paste is not my favorite....but that is personal preference. I prefer the lotus paste filling. 3/13 We had planned to pick up dim sum to take home. We walked in and noticed they had a nice dining area so we ended up dining in instead. We ordered Beef Chow Fun (dry style) and Roast Pig and Roast Duck rice plate. The Beef Chow Fun was tasty, but IMO could have used a splash of soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Not much to mess up on the Roast Pig and Roast Duck platter. However, I do prefer the texture of the meat on a whole Roast Pig vs. Roasted Pork Belly. (I think) Service was friendly. I'm guessing it was a manager/owner who came and asked how we were enjoying the taste of the food. The dining area was very clean. The tables and chairs were not sticky like you find in some Chinese restaurants. read more

I hate to leave such a horrible review for a restaurant that tries, but I feel the owners and other customers need to know. Although the food is decent (a bit over-priced, but not grossly expensive), the service leaves a lot to be desired. The staff is kind enough, but they are both slow and disorganized. I was there on Sunday and were told our to go order would take 15 minutes. We gave it 25 so we could walk around the plaza and market. When we came back, not only were we told that the food would take an ADDITIONAL 25 minutes, but all the customers who had come after us were quickly given their food and sent on their way. It looked like our orders were repurposed and given to other customers since we weren't in the restaurant at the time. Unacceptable! It should be first come, first served. Despite the fact that we paid for our food in full, this restaurant felt it was perfectly fine to give push us off and prioritize others. There's a sign that says to "be patient because they have new staff." The restaurant has been open for over 6 months. I don't think it's new staff, I just think it's lack of training, organization, and direction! I ended up getting my money back and going to another restaurant in Rosemead (25 minutes) away. Even though this is the closest dim sum restaurant to me, I would rather do a 20 minute drive to a restaurant that makes me feel valued and has their service down to a science than be subjected to such a hap-hazard operation. I urge the owners of Dim Sum King Master to look at your operation and staff training. I won't be back until your service improves. Thanks for your time. read more

Finally, dimsum to go place near my house... i was so excited at first but left extremely disappointed.. Ordered siumay and beef ball to go, both were so terrible that i had to throw them away after first bite.. I am not one to waste food, i have had more than my fair share of unsatisfactory dimsum but at least edible but this place tops it for making inedible dimsum.. If you are dimsum lover, i highly advise not going to this place.. pricewise is not cheap and for what you are getting, please travel elsewhere to get better food.. you deserve better... read more

Came here for the first time 5/14/25 around 11am. I thought it was in the Haven City Market for some reason. I only ordered shui mai, so my review will be based on that only. I like that the size of the shui mai is big, plus they give you 5, unlike other dim sum places it's usually 4. Makes up for the price. However, it lacks flavor. It basically had no flavor. The texture and everything was done perfectly, but it needs more flavor. I dipped it with soy sauce & chili oil & it was delicious. So if you're going to order that, definitely recommend dipping it in soy sauce. Customer service was great, the girl working that time/day was very friendly. They did have a sign that says their employees are in training. I would come back again to try the other items I always get at a dim sum places: pork ribs, chicken feet, bbq pork buns. Would recommend if you want something quick n easy and don't want to make the drive to Monterey Park/Rosemead etc. When I do get to try the other items, I'll update my review stars. But this is only based on what I ordered. It's still good nonetheless. read more

Friendly service. Delicious dimsum especially the big, juicy siu mai. A gem in W Covina which has very few dim sum restaurants.

Dim Sum King Master has the best Shumai I've ever had. I tried them during their soft opening last weekend and haven't been able to stop buying more since! Their sesame balls taste amazing. I also ordered their large party tray of Yangchow Fried Rice for a kids' Thanksgiving party. The fried rice was fantastic--just the right amount of soy sauce and not too oily. I'm so glad to have such a high-quality dim sum place in the neighborhood! read more

They're still working out their kinks since it seems to be family run. We got duck on 11/15 and it was quite tasty. Service was slow, again they gotta figure out efficiency. They did have to cut off the line due to high volume. I returned on 11/16 when they opened for some dim sum. Har gaw and shu mai came out warm. I was expecting it hot. Service was slow. Beef chow fun didn't come out until 20 min later. Food is good, hope they work out their kinks. I suggest two people on the floor serving/pasting receipt on table like OG dim sum places and crossing it off, and continuously using trays to serve food. The server was bringing some hot food out like porridge and I can see if that got too hot, it could be bad. read more

It's nice to be able to buy dim sum late in the day. They had sesame balls and hom sui gok. Of course you're paying more than MPK.or Rowland Heights dim sum take out places, but these are West Covina prices. The staff is polite and friendly, however they packaged chow mein instead of chow fun with my order. I should have double checked. For a $1.00 extra you can add beef to your noodles. The accidental chow mein was okay with thin noodles. The sesame balls and hom sui gok were large,crispy with chewy interiors. read more

I never write reviews but had to for this restaurant. I came for brunch with a large group and they easily let us push some tables together. The baked BBQ buns were perfectly crisp on the outside and flavorful on the inside. We ate them so quickly, I forgot take pics beforehand! All the menu items were made fresh, and the service was still very fast. We waited around 5 minutes for each of our foods to come out! read more

Good authentic Chinese Dim Sum !! I stumbled across this Dim Sum place returning from Ace Hardware on Glendora Ave.

Love the food and service. Since it says that is not enough need 85 words. Lmao love the place.

I ordered the 2 item combo with roast duck and crispy pork. The duck had almost no meat and was definitely not roasted. The skin was pale and almost appeared uncooked. One piece was nothing but bones. The picture is after i put the duck in my air fryer. One piece had no skin at all. The pork and shu mai was fairly good but not great. I won't be ordering again! read more

I went to this restaurant on Oct 8th, 2025 at 5:40 pm. I never go to this place since COVID-19 . I was buying Togo, they gave me free noodle and free pork short rib. They even gave me a very delicious egg tart when I was waiting. I appreciate their kindness and good service. read more

Rude lady in black shirt at the counter. My order was literally right there behind the counter and she kept telling me they didn't have it with the biggest attitude. There was another person trying to pick their order and they kept ignoring him. Don't know why they wanna make business hard on themselves. read more

Solid take out dim sum at reasonable prices and generous portions. Win! You can call ahead to place your order, or order in person. Packaging is primarily in plastic containers. $5.68/5 huge pieces of shu mai. Tasty and tender; would have been perfect if it were a touch juicier, but still really good and will definitely order again. Green tea cake is like a jasmine infused pudding (similar consistency to the more typical mango or coconut pudding)--surprisingly really good with the floral jasmine endnotes, and not too sweet. I'd definitely make it a point to order this in the future. We also ordered har gow, bean curd rolls, shrimp/chive dumplings, pineapple custard buns, baked bbq pork honey buns. All were generously sized and tasty. The cashier/person who answered the phone to take my order was very helpful, and explained how they actually offer 3 types of char sui bao (baked bbq pork buns): snow, pineapple, or honey (regular) top--usually places only offer a single kind, so it's nice to know. The bean curd wrapping could've been a touch softer so they'd be easier to bite, and the shrimp in the har cheng could've been larger and with a touch of oil so they didn't stick to eachother. But we'd easily order all of these dim sum staples again; you can't beat it for the area! No more having to fare the crowds in Monterey Park for your dim sum fix. Would love to try their non-dim sum dishes in the future (though it'd be hard to beat Steak & Lobster Express in the same center). Will definitely be back for more dim sum! read more

They have a breakfast special with jook and a plate of dim sum for less than $10!! The price of dim sum is reasonable and have a good variety of choices! Its clean and comfortable for dining in too! I will be back! read more

West Covina has been BLESSED with a delicious dimsum spot. Wow, the authenticity and service here are very impressive. It's counter style ordering for take out, but there's also an option for dine-in. The fact they serve dimsum until the evening is already such a big win. Not only that, their recipes taste very authentic and fresh made. I ordered the coconut milk black sticky rice pudding, garlic spare ribs, steamed mushroom and chicken bun, chicken sticky rice, and shrimp hargow. Each dish was nearly packaged and tasted so delicious. Along with the coconut milk pudding- YUMMY. I am a big fan of shrimp hargow and they did it RIGHT! Perfect size, texture, and flavor. Definitely coming back as a regular to try their other dishes. This is my new favorite local spot in West Covina for dimsum! read more

Food is not fresh. Tasted sour like vinegar when it shouldn't be. Service was bad. Had to go front desk because tried minutes to make eye contact with waiters but nobody take a look after we sit down. Told the waiter the dish is sour, after he confirmed with kitchen and other people, he said he took it off our bill and that's it. Other food doesn't taste good either. Chicken feet's texture is hard instead of soft. The siumai taste sour a little as well. The salty egg bun is just the same you buy frozen from grocery, texture is harder than other place. Which it's the best in all we order, the rib was good. But the rest is all un fresh and doesn't taste good. And I ate some sour food served by them, I already ate some when I find out it shouldn't taste that sour like vinegar. all they do is just take it out of the bill like we don't need to pay for it and end. The result I'm not happy. Food is bad. Service is also bad. Only the young guy found me waiving for a while and come ask so I get a chance to tell him the food is sour. But the older people works here they don't look at you. I ate spoiled food and only not paying for it doesn't make me feel any better. I already ate some of it until I realized. This is not healthy for my stomach and the way they deal with me is not right. Is best for their pocket. I guess this place is nobody come so food when spoiled and they just service them anyway if customers finds out they will take it off the bill no $$ lose so smart business man. read more

The wait was pretty ridiculous today (Sunday) around 9:50am. For grand opening weekend I would think they would be quicker and efficient; let alone anticipate a crowd in a weekend. They didn't seem organized and the lack of service was no joke. The dining experience didn't seem pleasant from the people eating there and majority of people were waiting for food. The wait seemed like it was 45 mins + for take out dimsum which typically other places would have you out of there within minutes. I waited in line for 20 mins and they didn't even take the person in the very front's order. I also tried calling since 9:30am until I got there and they never picked up. I didn't understand how the wait can be so long with MAJORITY of the dishes were right in front of them and ready to be packed. It seemed like they would take your order, you pay, then you wait for your food to be packed. So there are technically two wait times which I found odd. I think they need a better system and need to work on efficiency to make it a better experience to have repeat customers. I wasn't the only one who walked out after waiting over 20 mins without the line moving. KUDOs to the people who waited longer. I'll come back in a few months once they have their kinks worked out. Gave them 3 stars still since I didn't try their food but I did get the feel of the ambiance and service which I think needs a lot of work. read more

So this around 7pm around closing time but they overcharged me and then once I paid for my Mongolian beef, they said they're out of beef. So they offered chicken which I'm like "sure I guess" not like I'm getting a refund. Then then chicken happened to be under cooked (which I only realized the next day after eating the rest for lunch at work) I had the runs when I got home, then my upper stomach had pain that night and the whole next day, ate the leftovers for work and had more runs and that's when I realized the chicken was undercooked. Throughout the day I had thought maybe I had an ulcer or acid reflux but nope it was definitely that undercooked chicken. Fuck this place, never coming back. read more
