I wanted to like this place I just didn't at all. I had the shumai which just didn't taste good. And the har gow - flavor was off and texture was very chewy. I had one of each and threw the rest away :( Service was slow but they were kind and welcoming. read more

Dim Sum Master gave me Oakland nostalgia, friendly vibe, tasty plates. Minor language barrier, but it didn't get in the way. We hit all the classics and went back for extra pork buns (so good). Easy return. read more

Dim Sum King Master - Dim Sum Near Me - West Covina, California

I really thought I would like the place since it's so similar to the Dim Sum King in El Monte. Unfortunately the food was just ok. Some of the taste was just a bit off. Food wasn't bad but the El Monte dim sum king is better. Service was good. Servers were courteous and came to check on me often. They took too long with the steamed beef roll so I opted to cancel, but when it did come out after it looked good. Small restaurant but plenty of seating. Clean. Would I come back? Maybe. But it wouldn't be my first choice. Just realized I didn't take any pictures... read more

Really nice dim-sum dining with friendly service. I only wish I got a roast duck to-go but maybe next time, I was just too full! I ordered the mixed platter with roast duck and steamed chicken, plus sio mai , shrimp har gow, turnip cake, custard tarts, and bbq steamed buns. Honestly ordered too much but it was worth it because it was so delicious! I want to come back and try the rice noodle rolls. Love this local spot, would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Came here a couple time and the food is great! Love their pork and egg porridge! Make sure you try their egg yolk pineapple buns as well. It looks like it's all family members working there, which is great and love supporting them. read more

Ordered to go and their rice noodle roll was slimy! Ewww! I've been to so many dim sum places and this is the first time I've witnessed slimy rice noodles. It's as if it's been sitting there for days. Disgusting! I was scared of eating the rest after that. The other food seemed ok but the rice noodle roll ruined my appetite. Please look at the video to see the nasty slime. The rice noodles are clumped together because it's been sitting there for so long it morphed into one. If you value your health, please choose another place to go to. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my colleagues and they are amazed at the food and service. They rarely ate asian food but the dim sum was so good that they finished the food and ordered some togo. I personally liked the Har Gow, Shu Mai, and Pineapple Buns. Dim Sum King Master is easily one of the top 5 dim sum places I've been to. read more

Obligatory, I was craving dim sum and specifically chicken feet. I walked and was greeted with friendliness that wasn't overwhelming. I got my chicken feet and egg tarts. Both are delicious, and I will definitely be coming back when I need my dim sum fix. Parking is pretty plentiful, and the environment is very clean. :) read more

So this is my second time here, as my first visit a few days after the grand opening was, and I'm being nice, a shit show. I didn't want to review on the first visit, because, it was obvious that they were still new, working out the kinks. With the long lines out the door, they definitely underestimated the crowds and were easily overwhelmed. Almost all items that we choose were cold, everybody were confused, including the customers. Happy to say, they're starting to right the ship and get everything back in order. What we ordered today, were nice and steamy hot. The only complaint today was that the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves was lacking in flavor. But everything else was on point, including all of the staff members. Great to see this place in the neighborhood, because it's nice to have a good dim sum restaurant near by. read more

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

I enjoy a good dim sum experience with the carts when I'm with someone who speaks Chinese (as most cart experiences are not English friendly). This place doesnt have the carts but they made it super easy to order. The waiter spoke fluent English and their menu had pictures with letters and numbers to order. I had also seen ordering online had the items in English. The food was just as good as the cart dim sums in Rowland Heights and Alhambra. The waiter even made sure we got the deal that was posted that we didnt see and that we were ordering anyway. I appreciate honesty and saving money! 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

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

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

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'm sure other reviews have mentioned it but.... the wait time!!! "Employees in training", yes, but for how long? It's been open in 2024(?). Management should have determined some kind of workflow that (new hire) employees can follow through with to get orders out. I've ordered take-out a handful of times and the wait is just not what you'd expect for a dim sum take out. You can tell that the employees' duties are still disorganized, who does what, which orders to process first, etc. It would be good to also inform customers if something is out or an expected wait time on an item if they've run out. But sometimes they don't realize it 'til they're trying to box up the orders and it's short of certain things. So... we wait and wait. I wouldn't return unless desperate for dim sum. The quality is what you'd expect for a dim sum place, it's not bad. But the wait isn't worth it. 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

Dim Sum King Master - Just a sampling of the delicious morsels in the menu. - Dim Sum Near Me - West Covina, California

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

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

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

Been there three times total. Every single time the order came out wrong, either missing an item or two to wrong items. The straw that broke the camels back was the last visit. Ordered the morning special, two Congee with a side promotion, and several other items. All totaled up to over $30. If your order is $30 or more, you are suppose to get a free order of chow mien. Which I had availed in the past with an identical order. Well well well, this older lady rings me up and doesn't honor what they advertised. Saying that only one of the morning congee promotion out of the two I had ordered counted towards the total price, which effectively made it under $30. Nowhere was it written or posted of such a condition. SO NO CHOW MIEN FOR YOU. I informed her that in the past, they didn't have that condition on the congee promotion. It was so arbitrary and definitely very unethical that I have vowed never to support or promote this business ever. To the business owner, you lost a customer or any future customers because you got greedy. Honor what you advertise. 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

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

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
