I live 30 miles away but i don't mind driving here when i crave AUTHENTIC hong kong style dimsum. The dimsum places near my house does not compare to this.

Dim sum really is perfect for a late weekend morning. No need to be too finicky with the menu. Get yourself some har gow, dan tat, and a host of other regulars, then fill in the rest from there. Read more

A must do on the weekend for din sum brunch. Fun, energetic atmosphere - huge room filled with people feasting on an enormous variety of excellent quality dim sum!

My best description of the Baked bao is bbq pork in a king's Hawaiian roll. Be aware, at peak hours the wait can be in the multiple hours.

Dim sum is one of the best in Monterey Park. Make sure to MAKE A RESERVATION ahead of time.

Be aware of cultural differences! The Chinese believe in utmost efficiency. So don't mistake it for rudeness, they are just trying to get the job quickly and effectively, I can't complain about that!

Great dim sum. The line to get a table is a little intense, but it wouldn't be dim sum if you didn't have to fight for it.

Everything I tried was delicious. Dumplings and the sweet sesame balls for dessert —- LOVE coming here 🤤

Chinese pro-tip. The Shrimp & leek har-gao is even tastier than the "classic" shrimp har-gao.

One of the best dim sum houses I've been to. Tons of variety. Lots of tables. Decent service.

Quality of dim sum is really good. Slightly more expensive but worth it. Short ribs are awesome.
Mindy OhAugust 23, 2011
The service here is a lot better than most dim sum places. It is a little on the saltier side so make sure you ask for hot sauce!
