*** Credit cards accepted - MasterCard or Visa only ***…read more Hong Kong Dim Sum House is a popular dim sum cafe in San Gabriel and they also have another location in South El Monte. Three key points: (1) there are no push carts here, (2) the space is quite small with only 6 tables - ideally suited for groups of 4 or fewer people, and (3) there is no restroom available. [Parking]: Hong Kong Dim Sum House shares the same plaza parking lot as other popular spots like Bopomofo Cafe and Golden Deli, so come before 10 AM if you want an excellent chance of finding an available parking spot. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are #1 Shrimp Har Gow, #6 Chicken Feet, #5 Spare Rib in Garlic Sauce, #3 Shrimp Shiu Mai, #31 Fried Sugar Cane Shrimp, #17 Shrimp Rice Roll, and #9 Steamed BBQ Pork Bun / #25 Baked BBQ Pork Bun. Tea = $1 per person. *** #1 Shrimp Har Gow ($7.70) & #3 Shrimp Shiu Mai ($7.70): All pieces were juicy and flavorful. #5 Spare Rib in Garlic Sauce ($7.70): A solid option with squash pieces. #6 Chicken Feet ($7.70): Amazing texture - the skin fell apart very easily. *** Overall the food was a bit expensive, but the quality was excellent and comparable to Lunasia. This is a great spot for people who don't care too much about certain amenities or somewhat hefty prices and simply want high-quality food (or consider the takeout option instead).

Bistro 1968 - One of the best value dim sum spots I've been to lately in the SGV. So here, they…read morehave many dim sum dishes around $4.88, which is such a steal for the portion and quality. For dishes like the beef chow fun and steamed fish for about $14.88, making it super affordable for a large group meal. The food came out fresh and hot, and the menu had a lot of variety to choose from. The restaurant gets busy, on weekends but service moved pretty efficiently overall. A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

When Bistro 1968 first opened, I bookmarked the restaurant wanting to stop by for dim sum but never…read morehad the chance to do so. I heard about their AYCE dim sum promo but that actually made me not want to come because I knew the wait would've been very long, and I hate waiting for a table just to eat. Fast forward to tonight and a suggestion was made to try the $14.88 dinner special at Bistro 1968. Here's my honest review of my experience. * Parking - Self parking behind the restaurant. I came on a Monday night dinner time , and there was only 2 cars in the entire lot. The parking lot was very creepy as it was't too well lit. I could see the kitchen from the structure because the backdoor was left opened. There were boxes and junk littered around the area. * You have to walk through a long hallway from the parking lot to get to the restaurant. There are signs to guide you, but if you're going there for the first time, it could be a bit confusing. * We got there at 7pm and there was only 1 table of customers. I honestly don't know how to describe the decor because it depends on which part of restaurant you're looking at. * Staff were all VERY nice. They gave us free dessert (Egg Tarts and Pineapple Buns) so that was awesome. * Food - I ordered the Fried Fish but it wasn't fully cooked. Some parts were still raw so it had a fishy taste. We ate a few pieces but left most of it untouched. Everything else was pretty much okay except for its temperature - it was lukewarm. Nothing was piping hot except for the steamed Pork Spareribs from their all day dim sum menu. * There were some small gnats that kept flying around and when one actually landed in my food, I just stopped eating altogether. * No alcohol available but definitely not a huge deal. Their staff are so nice that I actually feel bad about not writing a positive review about the establishment, but I really just don't see how I am able to rate it any higher than 2 stars. I don't think I will be coming back.

Different from the restaurants serving dim sum on carts some folks may be used to. This is more of place someone would go to if you wanted quick dim sum at a great price. Highlights: -#5 har gow (aka crystal shrimp dumplings) was so plump and jam packed with shrimp! The skin was so chewy too. Delicious! -#25 black sesame with red bean paste was so fresh! It was crisp and chewy without feeling too heavy from the oil, if you stop at one that is haha -#6 siu mai was also so jam packed with meat and juicy! Still worth mentioning that the turnip cake was delicious in flavor but just not a highlight because it was on the mushier side. I'd still get it again though! Also, my partner really enjoyed the congee. I didn't try it though. Areas that can be improved: -the lotus sticky rice was a little lacking in flavor and meat. -the Cheung fun although had generous amounts of shrimp, it lacked bounce in the rice noodle. Maybe because it was cold by the time we ate it. -to reduce paper consumption, I recommend using laminate dry erase for the menus so they can be reused. Just an idea/suggestion! We were charged weekend prices because it is a holiday (President's Day). The accept credit card. You can also order via phone but we figured it wouldn't be too busy on a rainy day.

Everything was good and nothing missed the mark, except the lobster had a ridiculous amount of green onions and they skimped on the noodles. I felt that the noodles were also overcooked and lack flavor of their own. For a Chinese restaurant, there was pretty quick service. Waiters frequent the table to collect dirty dishes and refill waters

The Pork & Shrimp Dumpling with Truffle Sauce deserves a special mention. Service: There's been a wait the few times I've been here--on a Sunday at noon, it can be an upward of an hour, depending on your party size. Food comes out quickly, once you've ordered. Ambiance: Casual, traditional. Larger tables have the lazy Susan. Parking: Adjacent parking lot, but can be busy during peak hours, so can take a min to find an open spot. However, street parking is also available.

I had no idea that they have been Michelin guide recognition. But, they are fast to turn the tables and get the cue moving quickly. Food is legit and I'd say the best item was the Shao Mai since they use truffle on top instead of fish roe. The turnip cake here is also steamed only and not pan fired before serving which is different by my experiences. They do have both the steamed and baked Cha Shao Bao for those that like both kinds. And, you order from the menus in my pics and dim sum pricing is based on the size of the dim sum. Check out my pics!

The 5 flavor goose is one of its kind in the sgv with the sweetness of the 5 flavor sauce. It is certainly different in a good way. Of note is the turtle hot pot with winter Melon.

Was craving beef noodle soup the other day so I decided to try it from here. Called in my order and…read morepicked it up within about 20 minutes which was nice and easy. I ordered the house special beef noodle soup, which they're known for. The portion size is solid with a lot of noodles, plus bok choy, tender beef, and tendons. The broth is on the lighter side, which some people might like, but for me it felt like it was missing a bit of depth. One thing I didn't like is they don't include pickled vegetables. I feel like that should be standard with beef noodle soup, even just a small portion helps bring everything together. Instead they charge extra for it, which was kind of a letdown. Overall it did satisfy my craving, but it didn't really have me wanting to come back right away.

Very nice portion and decent amount of seafood in here. I like the variety of seafood. Green beans: 7/10. I don't think most restaurants do a good job, but this one isn't bad Rice cakes: I don't think I can fairly judge rice cakes because I'm generally not a fan, but everyone else liked it Beef rolls: 9/10. Also very good. They were nice and checked if we wanted to cut it into 4 pieces or 6 which was very considerate of them. Servers are very nice and friendly. I really liked the service.

Took our dad here for his birthday and everyone loved it. Prime time weekend, i will say the lines can still be long here but 1hr vs 2-3hrs at dung tai fung. Food may not be as fancy Michelin or ambiance but it definitely hits the spot. Price isn't cheap but still a bit cheaper. Overall a very good alternative but there are also still many good places if you don't care for the crazy ambiance or presentations at mom and pops spots. This is if your trying to compare with Ding tai fung, its kicked down a notch or so. Generally, better than the mom & pops yet toned down from the famous one. My least favorite is the cucumber salad and the stir fried noodles as the flavors were lacking. Everything else were good.
