New dim sum spot that just opened not too long ago. Lots of variety, ffordable with generous portions. Been here 3 times so far and it doesn't disappoint. It does get a little busy during the weekends. Overall, solid spot! 04.05.2026 | Sunday @1:00pm read more

We came back for dinner during Mother's Day week, so the restaurant was really busy with a lot of families celebrating. Luckily, we made a reservation ahead of time. Since our group was only six people, we were seated at a corner table in a section of a large dining room. It was a bit tight getting in and out because of all the big tables around us, and my mom uses a walker, so moving around was a little hard. But the other customers were very nice and kept moving their chairs so she could get through, which we really appreciated. It was good to see the restaurant fully packed, it usually means the food is fresh and popular. Because of the Mother's Day week, they were only offering a set dinner menu with a limited à la carte selection. We ordered steamed noble clams with garlic and vermicelli, steamed oysters with black bean sauce, honey walnut prawns, fish with ginger and scallion in a clay pot, lamb stew with dried bean curd sheet in a clay pot, beef stew with clear broth in a clay pot, Yangzhou fried rice, and pea sprouts in broth. Overall, the seafood was very fresh, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Service was a bit slow, but understandable since they were so busy and still in soft opening. We're okay with that. Overall, a very good dining experience. :) read more

CH Imperial Garden replaced the old dim sum place that used to be in this mall. They totally renovated the place and it looks completely different. When you first walk in you'll see all the chairs nicely covered with a a Tiffany blue ribbon and the rooms all have large screen TVs. Since we arrived a little after 10, we were seated immediately. You need to order from the menu with your selection. I like how they have a good tea selection where all the price of the tea is the same. We got the tin kuan yin tea and the quality of the tea was pretty strong, just the way I like it. They have a huge menu where they also have rice and noodles dishes in case you don't want dim sum. Everything we ordered was delicious! And the servers that brought them out, we're all super polite. They said good morning how are we doing and asked if we wanted to cut the pieces. What top notch service! Here's everything that we order and I highly recommend them all. - steamed pork shrimp dumplings -steamed beef balls -bean curd skin rolls -five-spice taro dumplings -deep fried meat dumplings -Cilantro beef rice rolls -Tofu pudding Everything was exceptional and with this level of service it really makes a difference. I believe they are the same owners as Cheung hing so you'll know everything else will be good. I'll definitely come back again to try their dinner menu. read more

I like that they've remodeled this place because the old restaurant here was super grimey and smelly. The food is just about the same, but service is actually far worse now that there are a lot more people. I'm not sure why there are so many people though? They do the standard Cantonese staples and are hit or miss with food speed, depending on just your stroke of luck. Be prepared to still-sticky and dirty seats. You already know about this parking lot. read more

The old Tai Yuan location has reopened with minor renovations to the walls, lighting, and flooring. The restrooms were remodeled and are clean. The dirty carpet was replaced. The OG locals refer this to Tai Wu or King's China Bistro if you were around till the 90s. The remnants of the former are the tables, chairs, and tableware. There was no wait to be seated, upon being seated I noticed familiar faces in the management team. If you patronized the local Daly City Chinese restaurants like Ming Yuan and Woo Hao, the managers/captains both coincidentally both called May joined forces with Cheung Hing to take over Tai Yuan. There is no cart service here, you just mark the menu to order. We ordered the mixed siu mai, ha gow, spare ribs, pan fried turnip cake, pork blood, shrimp rice rolls, and beef chow fun. The dim sum was not overly salty, but the mixed siu mai has a weird taste and would recommend the standard version. The beef chow fun needed some wok hay and was very bland. Perhaps the wok was new and needs to be seasoned. The service was okay, as the waitstaff are still making adjustments and hence the soft opening phase. Took a bit longer to tea refilled and for them to bring sauces, but they definitely didn't forget or give any attitude. My parents pointed out there's no live seafood in the fish tanks, brings up the question if their $28 lobster noodle special comes with a fresh lobster, maybe the fish tanks will be stocked next time, as it's important part of feng shui to symbolize freshness and continuous flow for a business. Overall good to have options to weekend dim sum, as we kept going to Ming Yuan and Dim Sum King since Tai Yuan closed. The price point and target audience is more aligned with the boomers/retirees who would come daily. read more

Been coming to this location for many years and it has been through at least 2-3 changes in ownership. As of 2026, it was taken over by the Cheung Hing ownership. They did a light remodel of the old restaurant; overall the restaurant is your typical Cantonese banquet layout with large tables and a few smaller tables throughout. It was brightly lit and plenty of space between the tables. Since they soft opened roughly about 1 week ago(03/13/2026), they still don't have a few things ready yet such as the water tank for the live fish and dinner service was a bit slow since it took awhile to get our dishes. We tried: 1) Dried Scallop, Chive w/ Shredded Chicken Soup($18.95)(6.8/10) - A overall good soup; light and flavorful without being overly salty. There was plenty of shredded chicken, but didn't see too much of the chives(yellow chives). The portion size was pretty big for a family of 4; we each were able to get about 2-3 bowls each. 2) Sweet & Sour Chicken($15.95)(7.3/10) - This dish sort of surprised me. It was really good...the chicken was tender and juicy with a light crisp. The onions,green bell peppers and pineapple had a good wok hei to them. The sauce was just right consistency and flavor was good - leaning more towards the sour side. 3) Stir Fried Chinese Broccoli[Gai Lan] ($16.95)(7.1/10) - A simple and tasty vegetable dish. The gai lan was cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce complemented the gai lan. The gai lan was fresh and still had a good snap when eating them. 4) Shredded Pork Pan-Fried Crispy Noodles($16.95)(7.4/10) - A very good dish. The noodles were fried well; without it feeling too greasy. Held up well with the shredded pork gravy sauce. The shredded pork gravy sauce was savory and flavorful; there was enough to mix with all the noodles. Overall, the dinner dishes that I tried were really good and were seasoned appropriately. At first, when seeing the prices, we originally thought it was a bit expensive; but given the portions sizes that we got for each dish, I would say it is reasonably priced. Overall, dishes we tried were on par with other Cantonese restaurants; it won't wow you but it will satisfy that craving for Cantonese style food. Service was a hit and miss; it did take awhile to flag staff for some more tea or chili sauce; kitchen was a bit slow to push out dishes - but I'll give them a pass since they've been only open for 1 week when I went. Hopefully they iron out the issues next time. read more

New dim sum place in Daly City replacing the old one with new ownership and brand new floors and carpet thank goodness! No more grimy floors and old tables. New tea pots and plates and silverware too! They did a remodel and it looks cheap, but it's still better than what it was before. Got a variety of dim sum. Steamed bun with chicken, veggies, fish porridge. Everything was just average, nothing to write home about. The porridge was just okay, tasted very watery. Service was spotty, but they were very busy. The chive dumplings that were pan fried were lukewarm and the crunchy stuff underneath was soggy. Everyone said the dim sum could have been warmer and they felt like it had been sitting awhile. read more

The table was not cleaned well (maybe nit able to be cleaned well), waiters are overworked, chair covers are dirty, and tables are cleaned using the same towel for each table. We got a ticket for 6 at table B9, another group of guests took one of those paper and wrote herself B9, and the wait person was so confused until we told her that we were assigned B9 by her on the list before that lady who took the paper and wrote it herself. If we did not speak up, we'd be waiting after those people! They need to hire more people. She was so overworked and confused. read more

Food is wait too long to come.I'm very disappointed food is cool, and coconut pudding is no favorite? Only the milk. roast pork was similar warm and the skin was small as a fingernail, the Cheung fun shrimp wrap was so thick . No good Service is normal. Not very helpful. Place is clean. read more

Traditional Chinese banquet-style fare, including lots of seafood options. Cantonese style with plenty of fresh dishes. Heavier flavors (as expected), fast service, prompt and generous portions for all dishes. It's not the cleanest place and there are definitely piles of dirty dishes that seem to be tucked away in different places, but the dishes themselves seem clean and entrees are well made. If you come to these kinds of restaurants for dim sum or banquet style fare with your friends/family, you know what to expect, and this meets those expectations. Definitely not a fancy-upscale type of place - best for large, boisterous groups of friends or family members gathering who are hungry and ready to eat! read more

We tried lunch dim sum here. Parking in mall free. Lunch was much more crowded than dinner. Pick items and the server enters in register. Timing of delivery is by whatever was cooking, deep fried, or steam, or entree rice or noodle. Soup and tea immediately. Tea 1.50 / person, hot water is 1.00 / person. Stingy on paper napkins, plastic table cloths for easy table turn around. Dim sum depends on what you ordered. Overall, dim sum was good to very good. Thirsty a lot, so maybe lot of msg in food. Service below average, need to refill tea kettle. need more napkins, need forks which never came, need to pay bill with no one picking up so we went to front to pay bill, 18-20-25 % tip for poor service. Overall 3 stars out of 5. read more

Do yourself a favor, even dog food is better than that- Was there during soft opening, that lobster noodle was so oily and like WTF... ordered 6 dishes but hardly one me and my family could've have any appetite. 龍蝦麵 超級油 點了六道菜 沒一道能吃得下去 結帳200+ 3-4個人 性價比不錯 不過這味道應該開不久 read more

I would not recommend this place unless you're prepared to wait over an hour for your food. We were seated promptly as the restaurant was filling up. Twenty mins after giving them our order sheet, they came by our table to confirm our order. Apparently there was a mix up with the order sheet with the table next to us. Both tables confirmed everything and our orders were placed. 10 mins later, the next table started to receive majority of their order while we waited patiently with nothing on our table. After 30 mins, we finally received 3 of our order. Another 15 mins, we received one more order. We flagged down several staff to ask them to check on our food. No one seemed to care, we were told to just wait cuz they were busy. After more than an hour and missing 2/3 of our order, we got up and left. The service was terrible. We asked for water for the kids and the lady in the suit said "later". We asked for soy sauce, never got it. I noticed others getting up and walking to a corner to grab stuff. So, I walked over and helped myself to the soy sauce and bowls/spoons for our rice. read more

New dim sum restaurant that took over the old place. I've been coming to this place for close to 20 yrs I think. This place probably changed owners 4 or 5 times. Way back it used to be Tai Wu. That was the best. Then at some point it became Tai Yuan which was also good. Then a couple of weeks ago it became CH Imperial. It wasn't until I saw Cheung Hing imprinted on the tea pot which I discovered it's part of the Cheung Hing chain (which explains CH Imperial being CH for Cheung Hing). Being the second week it was opened, it was packed. Not sure if everyone wanted to try the new place or was it just a typical Sunday. I had no idea this place remodeled and changed owners. Place looks new but the decor is cheesy also with the cheesy chair covers. Bathroom remodeled but still dirty and floors were wet. Service was horrible. We sat at our table but no servers available. I would figure they would provide faster service since they wanted to make an impression. Difficult to get them to refill the tea pot. What's worst, we are a party of 10. Took forever to get someone to bring us hot sauce. They brought one small dish. Really????? For 10 people? Asked for more and they basically refilled the same amount in the same small dish. Food was ok. Pricey!!!!! Nothing to rant and rave about. The way you order is kind of a scam if you ask me. They give you a colorful menu to order from. You mark off how many you want. So when your order gets placed in the kitchen, they give you a confirmation receipt. The receipt is in Chinese!!! So you have no clue what you ordered. The reason the two stars is because we were seated immediately. read more

Service was really bad here. We waited over an hour for our food while every other table around us already got served. We had a party of 11 and it felt like no one was paying attention to our table at all. We even had to grab our own bowls, and nobody checked on us or even offered water. After waiting almost 2 hours, not even half of our food arrived, so we ended up leaving. Very disappointing experience. This will definitely be our last time coming here. Do not recommend. read more

We noticed that this restaurant had recently changed owner and decided to give it a try last Saturday. It was around noon so we had to get a number and wait for about 10 minutes for our table. We ordered 8 different dim sum dishes and enjoyed every dish as they all were served at the right temperature and looked/tasted fresh! Service was quite attentive so we were happy and will definitely come back to try dinner one of these days. read more

Service was not great but we did come on mother's day at that was kind of expected but they completely forgotten about us. Table of 10! Reservation was at 7:15. Was seated at 7:30. Attempted to flag the server but got the manager. To make things easier, I circled the items for her. 1 hour later. No food came. My hubby said he's not surprised the service was going to be slow even after I told him I should say something. My sister went to talk to the server and they were shocked the we were not tended to. No soup, no appetizer, not even the complimentary peanuts! Just tea. At this point, the workers are pointing fingers at each other. Seriously I know they were busy but how do you miss a big table!!!!! No acknowledgement or anything. The manager didn't realize she misplaced the menu that I handed her! Now they were feeling terrible and started rushing the food all at once to us. They gave a "complementary" dish that look like leftover chicken and intestines. We had ordered a whole chicken and a combo platter that had even more chicken. I wouldn't have ordered a whole chicken if I knew the combo platter came with it. So although the service was terrible, the food wasn't too bad. I actually enjoyed it and the portion was huge! Ambiance was nicer than the previous restaurant. They kept the original dirty chairs and just added chair covers. The restaurant looked brighter. Would I come back? Probably yes but don't expect great service or come during a special occasion. read more

Went for dinner and would definitely come back again . Big portions and good price .

The food are prepared hot and delicious it's the parking too hard to park as they are sharing with the bowling, restaurant and market. Since it's Soft opening the service was slow need more servers the food should come out as what the ticket goes in should come out first I've waited for almost 1-1/2 hours for a take out at 10:18 am only 2 orders if buns and ginger chicken soup read more

We went there to celebrate Mother's Day. The place is very nice & neat. The food quality & quality were excellent. The service is great too.

Knowing CH, food is always good and ok value for your money, been patronizing other locations in Millbrae, So SF, Geary Blvd SF, Belmont , etc etc for the last 30 years, Millbrae is the original flagship where we saw the kids grew up. Try the dim sum, good price/ value, won't break your budget, should try the "beef chow fun", chicken chow mein, bbq pork, roast duck a soy sauce chicken a must Wont be disappointed. Try it out and visit other locations also. read more

Recently visited when saw soft opening. Waiting time so long, not for people who like to quick bite or lunch time. Seems like the staff would like invite you quickly and just sitting there for so long. We ordered 5 items and Waiting one to another to arrive more than 20 minutes. That's ridiculous. Not recommended. read more
