When you don't have the time or energy to make it Monterey Park, head over to Dim Sum House. The portions are large and filling, and the flavor is impeccable. The cucumber salad was divine and can give Din Tai Fung a run for its money. All the dishes were seasoned so well and they even accommodated my very picky son with plain steamed tofu (an off menu item). There is a slight language barrier, but the language of food is universal! They were so kind and attentive, we loved it here and already planning to come back with more family and friends so we can try more of the menu. It's located in a strip mall, so plenty of parking. It's very casual atmosphere and they can accommodate large groups. read more

Pretty fire. Came here in the evening on the weekday and it was not too busy. I ordered 3 orders: the BBQ steamed pork baos, shrimp rice rolls, and hargow and they were all very delicious. I think 3 orders is definitely enough to share between 2 people. The price was also not too bad. It was around $28 including tip and tax I believe. I feel like nowadays it's difficult to find a dim sum place with quality food and service that's decently priced. I think my favorite out of the three would be the hargow. Not the biggest fan of shrimp (which i know is a little contradictory to my order) but the shrimp filling was so so good. The shrimp was nicely flavored and tender. Our server was actually the sweetest. He gave us egg tarts on the house which was so slay! read more

Dim Sum House - Shrimp roll, hargow, BBQ pork baos - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very solid and authentic Cantonese restaurant that specializes in dim sum. Tried a variety of dishes including shumai, hagow, sticky chicken rice, chicken feet, and chasiu bun. All passed with flying colors. Only catch is all the dishes were priced around $7.99-$8.99, which is on the high side compared with Chinatown or San Gabriel valley prices. But this is West LA so I guess it's par for the course. While only one waiter covered the restaurant, service was quick and efficient. Ambiance is plain and neat. Will be back if I am in the area and craving Dimsum. read more

**NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR DELIVERY ONLY** I don't leave many reviews, but this place has been a godsend. I'm a lightweight with spices and such, and I fell in love with the Singapore Rice Noodles. I ordered several times, asking for no this, a little of that, and expecting maybe 1 of the things would actually be done. EVERY single time, they do exactly as I ask, making all the necessary adjustments. It's so rare nowadays to find a place that actually listens to requests when ordering food, and this very particular gal is so very appreciative and will be coming back here again and again thanks to their attentiveness and yummy food. Thank youuuuu!!!!! read more

Food here is pretty good & authentic. There's a parking lot too. Service is very fast. Inside is just a cute Chinese style tables of 4-12 people. Very clean! A little highly priced. read more

Decent Dim Sum spot in West LA. I visited this restaurant with a friend for lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant wasn't too busy. The interior seemed old, but not too dirty. The condiment bottles and containers needed some cleaning though. There was just one server handling all the customers at the time I went. For food, my friend and I split the following: -Chicken Feet: I'm usually not a fan of these, but the flavor of them were pretty good and savory. -Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls: These were solid, no complaints. The shrimp was plump. I've had better though. -Sesame Balls: Crispy, chewy interior, and yummy. A bit of an oily taste though. -Fried Dough Sticks: Crispy and chewy, but also a bit of an oily taste. These paired well with the congee. -Preserved Egg and Pork Rice Porridge: Hearty and yarm. Wish it had more flavor though. -Pork and Shrimp Shumai: These were meaty and good. I've had better though. -Steamed Pork Rib: Was surprised with these. The flavor was good and the meat was tender. Also, we had an awkward experience here. The server let in a beggar who made an announcement to the entire restaurant begging for money. While it was somewhat admirable for him to do that, it was not appropriate for the setting especially since there were kids present. I felt pressured to donate and also felt unsafe. Overall, the food was decent, but there are better options for Dim Sum in the 626 area. This is pretty solid for West LA, but on the pricier side so I don't know if I would come back again to pay for this. I would eat it if it was given to me though. read more

The food is delicious and authentic - and the service is absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back again.

Couldn't think of anywhere to go for lunch so decided to give it a try since we've passed it 1 million times. It's pretty depressing sitting in there. There is absolutely nothing on the walls and some music wouldn't hurt either. Seems like there is one guy that pretty much runs the whole place and he's friendly and efficient but man every time he clears a table you just hear the clanking of dishes and silverware, etc.. Now onto the food... We had a few different types of dumplings... Shrimp, veggie, spicy chicken. They were OK. Nothing special and not sure I would try them again. They have a very extensive Chinese food menu and I might be willing to give it a try, but it's really tough with moon house just down the street because that place is awesome. read more

This spot has been a local Westside dim sum go to for awhile. The staff is no nonsense. The dim sum rivals the SGV spots in the simply decorated restaurant. The beef roll and hom soy gok are my go-to dishes. I also enjoyed the mushroom dumplings. read more

Soooooo good. Get the beef roll and the deserts. So bomb. Nothing here tastes bad, it all tastes great

Yummy food- been going for years! Friendly service and good size portions. The ambiance is roomy if sort of plain. But go for the food! Salt and pepper tofu and cucumber salad are addictive! read more

Quickly seated, parking is kind of a nightmare at noontime! I am & all the spaces were occupied, fortunately there was some street parking. The items we ordered, 10 - 12 came quickly, w/in minutes of ea other. The quality was good, the wrapping of the hargow was a little thick, the shu mai were big & delicious, luv'd the combination chow mein w/the skinny fried egg noodles! Hate the plates, prefer the small 3" circular dipping dish vs dinner plate. Shrimp rice noodle was very fresh, shrimps plump, cucumber salad was a great palate cleanser, vegetable spring fresh out of the fryer, pan fried pork bun was ok, prefer baked bbq pork bun & bbq pork bun. The only disappointment was the baked egg taste, under cooked, very pale in color & tasteless. Otherwise wl definitely go back when in WLA...Note there is no ambiance, just white walls & tables, 1 pc of Asian-inspired artwork. read more

Great Food, Decent Prices! I've never had a dine in experience here, only takeout. The first time I tried this place was on Christmas Day. Unsurprisingly, it was extremely crowded. Despite the hour long wait for takeout and being understaffed, the team was very friendly and polite. The food was excellent! We ordered: Orange chicken Combination noodles Spicy chicken dumplings Crispy shrimp balls Baked bbq pork buns Everything was delicious! My personal favorite was the spicy chicken dumplings, the filling was juicy and flavorful. The orange chicken is also a must try! It's not overly sweet and tastes like real, quality food. Plus, the portions are large! After Christmas, I kept craving the spicy chicken dumplings, so I had to go back. This time, I also tried the shrimp dumplings and combination fried rice. Both the combination fried rice and noodles came with a generous amount of protein, making them a satisfying meal on their own. The ambiance is simple, but that's totally fine. I also appreciate that they use good quality chopsticks! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a shot. read more

Ordered food here and out took forever to get our food like they forgot. Unapologetic. Typical.

Unexpected great find! First time in the UCLA area on Thanksgiving. This restaurant was open and we wanted to give it a try. We only tried a handful of dim sum items but everything was very tasty and fresh. Service is what typical of a Chinese restaurant and food came out relatively quick. It wasn't extremely quick which makes me think they don't have a bunch of premade steamed stuff sitting around all ready to go. The shumai was especially tasty and I think they hand chop the pork or sometime. It doesn't taste like the preground minced pork you get at the store. read more

If you're in search of decent dim sum on the west side, this place definitely hits the mark. While it may not have the bells and whistles of fancier spots, it delivers solid flavors that satisfy the craving for shumai and other favorites. The atmosphere is straightforward, with no frills--perfect for a casual meal. However, the customer service left a bit to be desired; it felt mediocre at best. I noticed that the staff packing my order overlooked some essentials. I requested utensils and condiments but didn't receive any, which was a bit disappointing. Despite these hiccups, the dim sum itself is good enough to bring me back. If you're looking for a reliable spot to enjoy some shumai, this place does the trick. Just be sure to double-check your order before leaving! read more

Kung Lao chicken,too salty, and spicy. Vegetables overcooked.sweet sour chicken tough, dried out too much breading tasted reheated. Crispy noodle topping smelled foul and tasted bad. The only good thing were the steamed pork buns and I suspect they were purchased outside since they were identical to other restaurants. I threw out half the food and going to feed the rest to my pet crow! read more

Overall : 2.5/5 rounded up for being solid dim sum on the West side. Recommend ordering delivery or figuring out non-peak times to go in person and expect it to be slow. Ambience - Simple, not the nicest but is decently clean, seems to be better ventilation in the big dining room but the entry way has 3-4 tables and gets quite hot. Service - I assume it is the owners running the place - they speak Chinese, are nice and are trying hard to keep up with demand. However it is very slow - the Sunday I went I waited 15 minutes after ordering at 12:40, changed to take out (friend had to leave), then waited an hour for that, and finally picked up food at 2pm. I imagine that was an exceptionally slow day and my order was big ish around $100 but still ridiculous. Dine in service on other tables was slow too from ordering to getting checks. They have a LOT of pick up orders. Owners were apologetic but also said it's always really busy. Maybe I'm more used to 626 SGV services where you can be in and out within an hour... but this makes me very wary about going back anytime soon. Food - certainly authentic and given how slow it is, I imagine it is fresh made in house (not just steam from frozen). Pieces are huge too. However there are no chives options (韭菜) - they use spinach instead, and this was probably the most chicken I'd expect to see on a dimsum menu - make sense since it is on the west side (catering to non- traditional dim sum eaters). read more

Second time back and tried different stuff! Same score, Great! Incredible flavors, textures and choices! Fast service and overall chill place to go.. a must try over all else on west side! read more

My family and I just had brunch here today and we were all very pleasantly surprised. Normally, we have dim sum up in Arcadia - Monterey Park area, but this place is so much closer to where we live. The place looks a little outdated, but it was clean and spacious. We ordered the Shrimp Dumplings/Har Gow, Pork and Shrimp Shumai, Juicy Pork Dumplings, Chicken Mushroom Buns, Beef Rolls, Spicy Shrimp and Pork Wontons, Crispy Shrimp Balls, and Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls. Everything we ordered was good. My favorite was the Spicy Shrimp and Pork Wontons. It was the right amount of heat and sweetness. The size of the shrimp were bigger than what we usually get at dim sum places. The service was great. The waiters were very attentive, efficient and friendly. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Tried this spot in Westwood for dim sum and it was a nice find. The food was fresh and tasty, service was actually good and personable , portions were good, and prices were fair. We do miss the classic cart service experience it's more of a casual, fast-food style dine-in here. Still, everything we ordered came out tasty and satisfying. Great option if you're craving dim sum in the area without the long wait. read more

Came here for LNY with some co-workers. We made a reservation and were glad we did because the wait was fairly long at 7 pm! Parking was nearly full as well. Even after we were seated, it took almost another hour to order and get our food. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was even better than expected, especially given how busy they were. The workers were so nice but visibly short-staffed. We were super happy to be here at a more mom and pop shop style dim sum restaurant. read more

The dim sum here is just ok and closer to 2.5/5. The best things were the spare ribs and baked bbq pork bun, everything else was either too soft/over steamed or lacking flavor. We called in an order at 9:10 AM and the food was not ready until 9:55 AM but the estimate they gave us was 20-25 minutes. Additionally they didn't give us any sauces, chili oil, or sweet soy (usually given with the rice rolls), or sweet and sour sauce togo, we had to ask after checking the food. The store itself looked very big, but with only 1-2 small groups seated I was surprised the togo order ended up taking so much longer than estimated. The quality of food did not seem worth the price, but if you're desperate for an early dim sum meal this may be a consideration! read more

Very good Cantonese style food with big portions and perfectly cooked vegetables. They also have decent dim sum and it beats driving down to sgv or Chinatown. read more

The restaurant is clean, the selection of items is pretty standard, and the food (about $95 including 20% tip) that I got was good: Siu Mai (pork and shrimp meatball) Spicy Chicken Dumpling Noh Mai Gai (lotus-wrapped rice) Chicken Dumpling Baked Egg Custard Bun Baked Egg Tart Scallion Pancake Hom Soi Guk (fried rice dumpling with meat inside) Egg Rice Noodle Roll That said, what I actually care about is the fact that as soon as I walked in, I could hear shouting in Chinese coming from the Kitchen. For those unfamiliar, this is extremely authentic, and warmed my heart even more than the food. I will absolutely return here. read more

Decrying the disappearance of Cantonese restaurants in general and their paucity on the West Side in particular, I was happy to find this place proclaiming their authenticity and loyalty to this bit of old history of Chinese food. I decided to choose items that would test this authenticity and am happy to say, this is a great option to long drives eastward. The lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice was large and packed with goodies. I would have loved a bit more soy, but it seems currently unmatched in Chinatown and most of the SGV. Their dry style beef chow fun wasn't emasculated like most places, the noodles not shredded, enough onion and bean sprouts to give it crunch. But a little more wok hei would have made this stellar. Their jook was the restaurant style quick preparation by food processor and not by long slow boiling, but flavor and not skimpy on the egg nor the pork. Think Greek yogurt consistency versus Yoplait. String beans looked a bit unblistered, but was crunchy and tasty. And their turnip cake is the best I've had in quite a while, both from restaurants and from home kitchens. Since this was a take-home-to-test, I was very pleasantly surprised at the careful packaging. Corners cut off to allow venting so that crispy items stayed that way, all tightly sealed; which to me speaks of the care that is taken here. We tried other food items, but suffice to say, definitely a "regular" on our list. It doesn't have the table cloth, but as others have said, the full flavoring more than makes up for the lack. Another indicator of how these folks care about customer experience is the use of expensive "ordering making menus", making ordering very easy and more mistake free, but expensive to the proprietor. A happy find, all in all. read more

Even worse, I tried calling because Tom wrote me a message back after my review and said he would refund me or comp me the same meal- the guy is never at the restaurant and his employee gave me the wrong number to contact him Not sure if this place is legit read more

There was a period in my life where I ate dim sum 5-7 times a week for weeks at a time. Such was the life of a restaurant writer -- if you're going to put together the list of best dim sum restaurants in the LA area, you better get ready to judge even the most minute details like the skin on a har gao, the crumble on the shrimp farce, whether the orange stuff sprinkled on top of the siumai is genuine article crab roe, or whether the cheung fan rice paper roll was made in a steam tray (lasagna-thick and almost leathery in texture) or the old-fashioned way on a wire mesh (whisper thin to minimize opacity). At optimal execution, dim sum is a delicate cuisine, each morsel or dumpling a small bite sized journey of flavor. Yeah, Dim Sum House is definitely NOT that lolol. It definitely has some interestingly executed dishes -- that gan chao niu he (I believe on the menu it's called dry beef chow fun) actually had a little wok hei and the noodles are nicely cut. The dim sum pieces are massive and filling. Are they going to win first prize on your favorite food tik toker's best dim sum in LA list? Hell naw The food itself isn't particularly cheap, and the value for money isn't anything particularly outrageous. So you're probably wondering, dude, what?! Why are you giving this place five stars? It's because, well, there's a dining room in here. It's pretty spartan... to put it nicely. But there are probably 10-12 tables (!!!) that could accommodate up to 50-60 people (!!!!!). And every time I've gone, the entire dining room/front of house is one dude. This guy is simultaneously one of the nicest, hardest working people I have ever seen. And I covered the restaurant industry -- I've seen my fair share of hard working nice people. I never caught homie's name (he's a little busy as you might imagine). Watching this guy work is worth the price of admission. He's handling take out orders, seating, fulfillment, waters, everything. It's amazing how hard he works. So I just thought I'd drop a five-star review to pay my respects. People make a lot about reviewing food like they're gourmands or something on this app. It's all a pointless exercise if you don't take the time to consider how all this food is getting to you. It's usually by the hands of hard-working, earnest people who are the real heroes. If you love food you can't turn your eyes away from the dedication and love that goes from turning some flour, water, shrimp, oil, heat and seasoning into something you can enjoy. I've never felt comfortable judging and criticizing someone's work when it comes to something as subject to personal preference as food. It's probably a big part of the reason I got out of the restaurant writing racket. Anyway, this was supposed to be a restaurant review and it turned into an essay on why I don't like writing restaurant reviews. But I do like putting the spotlight on amazing people. My guy FOH at the dim sum house is an amazing person. You should go in there and just see it in action. read more

The food was inedible and the server with long dirty nails was gross. The tips of his fingers were yellow ( possibly from tobacco smoking ). Absolutely disgusting read more

Overall: ingredients taste fresh and food is flavorful! Food: 5/5 Stir fried noodles had super tender beef and a nice wok flavor. Dim sum had PLUMP shrimp and were nicely dressed in sauces. Fried green beans were crisp and tender. Service: 4/5 Food came out super quick. I wish they asked more about refilling waters. Ambiance: 3/5 On par for most strip malls. You come here mainly for the food and price. read more

I really like Dim Sum House as it's hard to find good dim sum on the Westside. I usually go to the SGV but heard about the third-anniversary promotion where they are offering 50% off dim sum throughout the month of September, so I decided to check it out. I called on the phone and asked about the promotion, but decided to come in person to order the dim sum. The lady seem confused and said it was only for dine in, but there was so much signage everywhere and flyers that said, "dine in, store, online order, and phone order." We were literally in the store, so I don't know if i had to call again to place the order to get the 50% off. Just doesn't make any sense. She said she had to ask the manager and the manager said it was fine to get 50% off. So I was kinda irked because they were pretending like it wasn't a thing when the storefront had a huge sign and the table was literally covered in flyers. I felt like we had to get fake "approval" from the manager. So we ordered a bunch of stuff and there were so many people coming in after ordering the dim sum and they clearly didn't have an issue getting the 50% off. So it was a bit annoying where they clearly have a promotion, so I don't know why there are pretending LOLOL! I don't get it. In any case, we ordered a lot of dimsum and it was all made quite fresh. It was a bit of a wait, but not terrible. Everything was quite tasty and comparable to the quality in the SGV. Overall, for the 50% off, I thought the prices were reasonable and on par with other options in the San Gabriel Valley. For this promo, I would recommend the place! read more
