The prices are great and they currently have a spin the wheel for an extra free dish of either chicken, pork, lobster. Plus free soup, rice, and dessert with each order. So the value is there. The cut chicken and pork were decent. But the food entrees themselves like the fish, veggies, cucumber were cooked with too much salt and oil for our table's taste. Probably can request to lessen, which may help the flavor. The ingredients also didn't taste that fresh, so was disappointed there. The service was quick and kind. Ambiance is standard Chinese restaurant. Plenty of parking, part of a larger plaza. read more

We noticed the banners for a promotion of $3.88/dim sum dish and thought to give it a try! It was a busy Friday morning, but the staff still served us very quickly! They have a main entrance for the restaurant (which is very spacious by the way) and also an entrance for To-Go orders only. We enjoyed the steamed ribs, (pretty juicy) Xiao long bao, garlic eggplant, and shrimp xiu mai. I wish we knew how long the promotion is going to run for, because I'd go back on try more! read more

They have a special going on for dim sum, $3.88 a plate. Also, if you spend over $50, you can turn the wheel to get a free dish such as duck or roast pork. Turnip cake wasn't good, because it was too hard and cold. Their roasted duck is quite good. It was super tender and flavorful compared to other restaurants. Roast pork came out cold, but the skin was still crispy and the meat wasn't too dry. Definitely, the duck is better choice. Shrimp rice roll is good. It came out hot and rice noodle was chewy and shrimp was juicy. Even the steamed pork ribs with rice rolls was pretty good. The steamed fish is fresh live and cooked well. This restaurant is good for large crowd because they have plenty of seating. Service was good. Overall, the pricing isn't bad not a bad choice. read more

Came here previously for the $3.88 dimsum and it was mediocre. Saw a lot of elderly people eating their special lunch so we thought we would come back for dinner. The roast pork for $19.99 only has fat. The duck was dried but it was free if you order over $50. Everything else was okay but you do have to pay for rice for dinner. read more

Got the turkey for Thanksgiving, came with a side of truffle fried rice. I think it was a seasonal menu. The turkey came whole. Pretty good. Simple roasted whole turkey. Seasoning is like a typical chinese bbq outside, inside very tender very well brined. I used the wings, drumsticks, and leftover carcass to make turkey stock the next day, yum. The fried rice was good. A bit on the dry side and probably just a hint of truffle oil, but decent amount of meat and my toddler finished his meal, so overall pretty good. We also got choy sum vegetable stir fry. Need to have some greens during holiday parties too! They made it well, I had no doubt. Safe choice. I managed to pre order to the owner via fb. I think normally they'd want you to go to the restaurant and pre order there. But I just didn't have time or energy to do an extra trip. So I tried contacting the owner and agreed to pay via zelle first. He was accommodating. read more

Great first-time lunch! The $8.99 + tax two-item combo tasted good and was very affordable. No Thursday lunch crowd. However, I found out that they added a 3% credit card surcharge on my receipt without any notice... read more

Big Ma's Kitchen - Two items combo - Dim Sum Near Me - Rosemead, California

My family and I had passed by this place several times and decided to give this restaurant a try. Parking: The parking lot is shared with the Del Mar Super Market and surrounds the entire restaurant. We were politely directed to a table pretty quickly and right after we ordered they let us try this prize spinning wheel. We won a soy glazed chicken and it was very delicious. Everything we ordered was very tasty, although we accidentally ordered two tofu dishes, we did not mind it. Sorry if the pictures aren't that pretty, but hopefully it being mostly eaten says a lot. My family and I would definitely eat here again. read more

Big Ma's Kitchen is a Cantonese cuisine restaurant with specialties like roasted duck and BBQ pork, plus lunch and dinner menus. It is located on Garvey and Del Mar Ave. in Rosemead. (The former location was Jade Seafood Restaurant.) I like their Chinese business name more than Big Ma's Kitchen because the English business name is not as fancy as the Chinese version. I did not try their dine-in, but I ordered their to-go dishes. They have a discount dim sum price after 3 p.m. (buy two get one free, and the dim sum price is $5.26 each). I was there at around 3:30 p.m., but most of the dim sum were gone, so I only ordered their pineapple custard buns, beef ribs, and steamed pork ribs. I also ordered the 2-item rice combo plate (only $8.99). The dim sum quality was mediocre, but I liked the steamed pork ribs. The beef ribs were kinda greasy. For the 2-item rice combo plate, the taste was not bad but could be better. The price was cheap, so you get what you paid for. However, I still wanna try their other dishes and dim sum as well. The to-go service was fast and efficient, and they were very friendly. For the to-go rating, I will give them 3.5 stars, but we may dine in there someday to try their other dim sum and gourmet dishes. read more

Mmm Big Ma serves not only dim sum, but also chinese bbq! They sell roast pork, roast duck, char siu, chinese sausage, and more. As for the dim sum, my favorites are the siu mai, rice roll with crueller, pan fried radish cake, salted egg yolk bao, and egg tarts. I would definitely come back for their dim sum. They also have really good tea. The interior gives an intimate feel, although smaller than other dim sum restaurants but the seating is comfortable and the manager Justin was always checking in on us to see if we needed anything :) If you want to host any family gathering or get togethers/work lunches, you can make a reservation with them to reserve a private dining room, which can fit a large group of people. They have a couple private dining rooms. Big Ma is located in the same plaza with Del Mar Supermarket, on Garvey/Del Mar cross street. read more

Our friends recommended this dim sum place. We stopped by Monday morning around 11. It's not that busy so we got the food pretty quickly. The restaurant is not that big and it looked like another regular Chinese restaurant. Still pretty lively. We got chicken feet/ BBQ pork/chives rice noodles/shrimp rice noodles/ soy sauce chow mein/shrimp siu mai/ truffle siu mai/mailai cake/baked BBQ pork BAO. The total came down to about $72. The taste was as good as expected. The soy sauce chow mein has good wok hei. The siu mai were plumb. I won't get the BBQ pork/chives rice noodles next time because the fillings were too chopped up. The soy sauce got soaked up and it didn't taste as good as the shrimp one. read more

the current 3.3 rating is already fairly low, and i've never been one to pile on but the line outside thus place is just enormous and i feel i have a duty to save anyone i can from a subpar meal, no matter how cheap or seemingly hyped it is we came on a saturday around 11, waited about 30 minutes for a party for 5 and unfortunately nothing we ordered (and we ordered plenty) was any good at all. parking is limited, the steamed fish we ordered was undercooked/inedible, the crispy pork belly skin had no crisp or fat to it, spun a wheel for a free dish that never came, and everything that was served tasted below average and/or rushed out to meet their inexplicably endless demand every new restaurant is trying hard to strike some sort price/quality balance for chinese food in san gabriel valley; based on our lunch rush experience, this one is too far gone read more

My family and I used to go to the old Jade Seafood Restaurant that was once in the same building. Big Ma's Kitchen has since remodeled the place to really modernize the restaurant. While keeping the same idea of family dine-in and a BBQ take-out restaurant, the building feels a smaller and is divided in multiple rooms. My family and I ordered five dishes: Roast Duck, Roast Pork, Green Bean Stir Fry with Steak, Spicy Salted Calamari, and Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables. Each dish was an average of $19 each. Rice was ordered and charged separately. The duck and both pork dishes were really tough to eat and overly salty. The skin on the roast pork was delicious and crispy. The calamari was a little bland with a sprinkle of seasoning similar to a tea shop's popcorn chicken. My favorite dish was the green bean stir fry. Green beans were crisp and beef was tender. The staff were attentive and all the dishes came out really quick. Service in general was very quick, which I can't complain. Overall, the food seems very over priced for what it is. We did see there was dim sum and I plan on trying that. read more

Located on the corner of Garvey and Del Mar. Free parking. Currently they're having an anniversary promotion until 4/30/26- if you spend more than $35 pre tax, you can spin the wheel to win a free dish (which can vary from duck, chicken, lobster etc) which is a pretty good deal. Dim sum starts at $3.88. Tables are packed in, so you'll be pretty close to your neighbor. There was an English speaking gentleman, he was very nice and helpful and took our order. I if it wasn't for him, service would be ok only. The others didn't smile and were not very attentive. Good place for an inexpensive very casual meal with close friends. The lunch specials come with complimentary soup and rice. We were never brought soup so I had to ask for it. The soup was comforting and flavorful, not too salty. The meat in it easily fell apart and was very tender. Tried the steamed tilapia with soy sauce ($13.99), soy sauce and imperial chicken duo -whole chicken ($23.99), roast duck- half ($18.88), live lobster sautéed with ginger and scallion ($20.99/lb)- they said the smallest was 1.5 lbs they had this day- it was listed as lobster and noodles but noodles didn't come, when inquired he said it would be separate and would be an extra $5, so we added on the noodles which I thought would have been part of the dish- so the lobster noodles came out to be $36.49. We finished off the meal with one dim sum item, the egg tarts- 3 for $3.88. We didn't get any veggies this time but there wasn't any space on the table to put it anyway. Overall it was a decent meal. Glad we tried, would definitely come back while they have this great promotion. read more

I'm updating my original review from 1 star to 3 stars because the owner reached out and handled the feedback respectfully. My original experience still wasn't good -- the service felt uncomfortable, the restroom soap issue should not have happened, and some of the food did not taste fresh. That said, I appreciate that the owner took the time to respond directly instead of being defensive. He acknowledged the concerns, explained that they are still working through staffing and service consistency, and seemed genuinely open to improving things. I'm open to giving them another shot in the future. read more

A total makeover from the last restaurant. Half sit-in and half takeout, similar to Sam Woo. The place is very small and just opened, seven regular tables and two private rooms. Decor is higher class so it's a comfortable environment. Food was pretty good! The garlic shrimp ($20.99) was my favorite, genuinely big shrimps with a tasty sauce. Came with 12 pieces and a hint of wasabi, so beware if you don't like that. The veggie soup with fish balls ($16.99) was nothing really special. Light in flavor but refreshing. Sweet and sour pork ($18.99) tasted like any other, we only ordered it because they were completely sold out of their roast bbq dishes. They gave us a coconut pudding as a sweet treat. Will come back to try their dim sum! read more

Big Ma's Kitchen - Dim Sum Near Me - Rosemead, California

Should be named Little Ma's Kitchen instead of Big Ma's LOLOL. No but seriously their portion sizes for family style are a JOKE. Super stingy portions for a Cantonese Asian Fusion restaurant. Their food was good but it wasn't delivered to the table HOT. The temperature was just warm and we had to order more food for our table of 12 because their portion sizes are stingy and small. 2 stars, not worth the price for the small family style portions no matter how good the food tastes. There are more options out there in this cuisine that get you more bang for your buck. read more

The food was good, but the service was below average, we came here Monday at 11 and there were empty tables inside but nobody came greet us and let us in. We waited so long and finally got a number, then waited for a while again before we got seated. The staffs were mad and rude, not like they yelled at us but they were quite unfriendly, looked like they were having a bad day and taking it out on the customers. read more

Big Ma's Kitchen opened a little over 2 months ago, and I finally got around to trying them out. They really gutted the interior, and to be honest-- it's alright, I feel like eliminating the open space plan was not the brightest idea because the space feels more small and tight. I want to caution that it's pricy for both dim sum and tea seat price. However, the food itself was pretty good. We got a couple of dim sum items and my favorite being the pork blood and leek one. My parents love their jok (rice porridge) that they had to order it again the next time they came by. read more

Came here with my dad for dim sum. They currently run a grand opening special that is $5.59 for all dim sum items. We've eaten a lot of dim sum in the SGV and this stacks up with what we consider the mid tier. It's good and on par with many others, but nothing stands out. Items have minimal meat/protein and more filler. For example, lotus wrap rice is a good size and wrapped well but has a lot of rice but lower ratio of meat filling. Same with hom sui gok. Delicious chewy outside, but light on filling. We only ordered dim sum so it's possible that their other non-dim sum items/dishes are better. Not a bad spot at all and a good deal, but fairly average. Parking lot gets full and is a pain. Parking on the side streets is easier. read more

They are running an anniversary special on May and still going on right now. All dim sum that were $5.99 is now $3.88.

Big Ma's Kitchen - Ad for Dim sum $5.59 all day - Dim Sum Near Me - Rosemead, California

Very expensive dimsum and tea seat price. Very small restaurant, with the bathroom right next to the kitchen and right in back of where the staff usually stand. Food quality is lacking, many dishes bland. The fish congee has a very fishy dirty flavor. The truffle sui mai has no truffle flavor, but when we told them, they did take it back (even the half bitten ones already on our plate). I would definitely not go here for dim sum, but the kitchen dishes that other tables got looked and smelled good. The setting plates and bowls were very nice and fancy. The waiters were attentive in filling tea and clearing empty dishes, but the managers did not seem very friendly. read more

Just picked up a Too Good To Go order from here. First time coming in and the people working were very nice and friendly. My surprise bag came with a very generously portioned meal of steamed rice, THREE (I REPEAT, THREEEEE) meat mains, and 2 veg portions (broccoli and I think bitter melon in a sauce). Everything was delicious. I wonder what I'll get in the next surprise box! Oh and it also came with a giant sesame ball filled with red bean for dessert. Thinking of coming in another time to try their other offerings like the dim sum and their bbq meats as a patron :) All in all, solid TGTG experience! read more

The decor are comfortable, nice, and clean. Love the big screen tv to watch the game and saw the biggest table that can seats 17. Services are fast and very nice staff. The tilapia dish is spot on with cantonese flavor. Like the sauce for the chili crab-hard fried cold bread on the dish is not needed. Pork belly is salty than what I use to but skin is crispy. King pao chicken is the nicest presentation I seen. Overall, a very nice and intimate dining experience. read more

I entered from the front entrance and was greeted by eager waitresses who showed me to the back for takeout. One person who looked like a manager smdif not seem pleased to see me walking through. He said come through the back. So if doing takeout park in the lot behind the restaurant. The restaurant dining area is nicely decorated with table cloth and sectioned into two making it look quite cramp. There were entrees for takeout and lots of dim sum. To pay via credit card I had to buy over $30. I also got a small box of sweet and sour pork. So my two cents: pork ribs, beef tripe, Sui mai, beef rice wrap were just ok, nothing unusual. The beef balls are dry and so salty I would not recommend it. The entrees look appealing. My sweet and sour pork tasted good and tender. I will update when .y sister has tasted shrimp dumplings and lotus wrap. read more
