Been goin here for years since I work nearby. Seems like the owner or family member may have changed throughout the years but the food is about the same. Unique little spot on Broadway. Just for takeout now but there's a love for this place still. Ordered the bbq chow mein today since I wanted a simple noodle lunch. Asked them to spice it up for me. The chow mein was cooked nicely with some chew left to the noodles that I like. Can't tell from the photo but there was a lot of bbq pork mixed in. I like it here, it's simple and sometimes that's all you need for a quick easy lunch. read more

Dim Sum House - Bbq Pork Chow Mein (spicy) - Dim Sum Near Me - Sacramento, California

My cousin is always getting dim sum and their BBQ pork chow mein from this spot. It's a small takeout place, and one day when I couldn't decide what to eat, I decided to try the BBQ pork chow mein. I ordered it spicy, and the lady told me it already came spicy. Personally, I didn't find it spicy at all -- I think they use chili paste because you can taste the vinegar. Still, I was really impressed with the portion size for under $10. My husband and I shared it, and there was even enough left over for my cousin. We ordered it again another time, and I just asked for the BBQ pork chow mein, assuming it automatically came spicy since that's what I was told before. Unfortunately, it actually doesn't come spicy lol. Either way, the chow mein tastes good. I've also tried the siu mai and ha gow. I didn't really like the siu mai -- not sure if it's from the basket they store it in, but both my husband and I noticed a smoky, slightly burnt taste. The ha gow was decent though. They can get pretty busy, so I usually try to call my order in ahead of time. One time I called in for dim sum, but they didn't pack it until I arrived. Another time I called ahead for chow mein and still ended up waiting quite a while once I got there. One thing that annoyed me a little: I asked for soy sauce and chili oil, then noticed they also had chili paste and asked for some of that too -- and the lady took away the chili oil! Like, really? They also have weekday specials, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. If you work around the area, this place is a good option to eat for lunch. read more

Dim Sum House is located on the corner of Broadway and 27th Street, right next door to Giant Pizza with parking on the curb and down 27th street (residential area). My husband and I were staying at an AirBnB just down the street from this dim sum place and decided to check them out on a Tuesday. We came in right at opening (9 am). When we walked in, we were greeted by an employee behind the counter and waited for our turn (there was already 1 person inside. We also saw plenty of people coming in after us too). We ended up ordering: Tuesday Lunch Special: Chicken w/ Black Bean Sauce Over Rice $7.25 prior to tax- Even at 9 am, the lunch special was available. The portion of this lunch special is excellent, can easily feed 2-3 people. My husband and I both really enjoyed the chicken with vegetables (onions, bell peppers) and black bean sauce. Perfect with the steamed white rice. 2 shrimp dumpling, $1 each, prior to tax- the har gow or shrimp dumpling was pretty small. Also it was interesting to find that there are nuts inside the dumpling, something that I have never had before. I wasn't too sure if it was chestnuts in it or not. I did like it but think it is too small for the price. 2 pork shiu mai, $1 each, prior to tax- These shiu mai are a good size for the price. And the price itself is pretty good. But the taste of the shiu mai was just okay. Honestly I have had better. 1 steam BBQ pork bun, $1.20, prior to tax- While we waited for our lunch special order, we sat down at the one table that is set up to sit and eat. My husband was so hungry that he decided to eat this right away. I didn't have any but he did like it. And inside, it looks like there was a good amount of barbecue pork inside. 1 fried taro dumpling, $1.10, prior to tax- I truly love wu gok, or fried taro dumpling. There are not that many places that make them in general (this is coming from someone who lives in Southern California) and so when I saw these, I knew I had to get one. But really wished I had gotten more. I know these dumpling take longer to make, which is why there are far and few places that make these now. This dumpling was delicious. The texture of the dumpling shell (mashed taro and flour) was excellent, crispy and honestly was not too oily. The filling of taro and ground pork was just heavenly and reminded me of when my grandma used to make these. ------------------------------- (Total= $14.84, CASH only) Service was quick and friendly. If I lived in the area, I would definitely become a regular and try all of their daily lunch specials and order more of their fried taro dumpling. read more

They serve excellent dim sum but you have to get there early to get a good selection. They serve until everything is gone. You will not be disappointed in the selection or prices. It's one of the best kept secrets in Sacramento . It's for take out only and the staff is very helpful in explaining a dish that you may not have had before so go for it but get there early! read more

I ordered rice noodles with chicken. I thought I was ordering the thick rice noodles like they have at ABC Bakery. I should have known when they made it fresh. It was actually vermicelli type rice noodles, except thinner. It didn't have much flavor unless you add sauce, it was well prepared though. Service was good, interior is no frills, one table a couple of chairs. Everything was to go, doesn't look like they're encouraging you to sit down and eat, more of place to sit and wait. The Dim Sum looked good. read more

Unusual, overly sweet dim sum here even on items that aren't supposed to be sweet. Polarized customer service received compared to others. Not your traditional recipe used here, several other dim sum locations nearby offers better quality tasting dim sum. read more

We moved to Midtown not long ago. Glad to find this place. Dimsum choices are limited, but enough to satisfy. Jung (Chinese tamale) was filled with pork, beans and lop cheung (Chinese sausage). They also have cherng fun (Rolled rice noodles with scallions and bacon bits). Also have Bock Tong Go (sticky, spongy sweet treats). The 3 are very Cantonese and not found in many places. So, glad to find food from Toy Shan. Their regular menu items also delicious. Very authentic flavors. Good sign of authenticity are the customers. Many aunts, uncles and cousins waiting patiently. Also, prices are low. I want to tell the owners they can raise prices 50% and won't lose business. Hopefully, they read it here. read more

This is my go to spot for dim sum! Recommend to go early, to get the best quality. They serve deep fried pork dumplings that are to die for! They only do one batch most times so first come first serve. If you come after me, I'm pretty much taking what's remaining. Now sometimes they're cold cause they aren't kept under a heat lamp, I'd definitely warm them up before eating for the best taste. Sometimes I'm late and left with whatever's left and usually go with their $6.75 lunch special for the day. Yes less than $7 for a giant rice plate made to order, really affordable and tasty. Today I was able to get everything we wanted. Pork steamed buns, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed pork dumplings, and the fried pork dumplings. Sometimes the lady taking orders sounds rude and very cheap when it comes to the sauce packets but the food makes up for it. If they were more consistent I'd give them a 4 star, but overall for food,service, and quality, it's 3 stars. read more

Located in Sacramento, this place is a little bit more than its competitors 1 mile away. We tried the har gow (shrimp dumpling) and cha siu bao (bbq pork bun). The har gow cost $1 a piece and was average. The bbq pork bun was very traditional. Everything is made fresh here. If they run out, you wait 20 minutes for the next batch to steam. Parking is a little challenging, but if you're willing to walk a block or 2, it's manageable. They also have zhong zi (Chinese tamale with sticky rice) here. read more

The absolute best hom soi goc, or deep fried pork dumpling, in Sacramento. The shell isn't too thick and is full of meat. The pot stickers and siu mai are solid as well. The enjoyed are always friendly and welcoming. I've been coming here for years for a quick dim sum fix. read more

I'm on the search to find myself the best walk up dim sum spot in our city. Dim Sum House doesn't take the best for me but it is pretty good. Came in on a Sunday morning and was able to get some of our favorite dim sum items. The siu mai was good and pretty big compared to others I've had but the flavor wasn't better. The har gow was alright but failed to "WOW" me. Prices are pretty cheap for the current economy so that does give the food a plus. There was only one person at the front which may affect service times during peak but there wasn't that many people there at the time so nothing ti complain about that. The ambiance isn't the best as there is only one table in there with chairs around it and the others are stacked up on each other, so don't really expect to dine in. Was it the best? No. (But it is good) Will I ever come back? Yes read more

I came here while waiting in line at the DMV as person number 13. The boyfriend wanted Jack in the Box, while I said we should look around for something different for breakfast. Dim Sum House is a humble, no-frills corner shop with one person behind the counter and a simple menu with dim sum staples, along with lunch specials for around $7. Everything is priced affordably; 4 BBQ pork buns, 3 pork siu mai and 3 ha gao round up to $11, or roughly $5 per person. As for the food itself, it has a home-cooked quality -- savory without being too savory, substantial filling in every bite and flavor familiar enough to satisfy. It's not the prettiest or anything attention-grabbing, but it's a pretty darn good choice in local business to support when you're on the go. read more

This a good place for take out dim sum. It's nice that you can see all the different kinds of dumplings they have through the glass. I was impressed with the variety they had. So many things to choose from! We ordered a bunch of different items. I really liked the shrimp dumplings the best, because it had good flavor of chives and cilantro. The chicken sui mai was not my favorite because it was on the dry side. The steam buns had too much bao and not enough filling for my taste. The egg tart and wife cake was nice and flaky. Not too sweet and It was delicious! There's a bunch of tasty dim sum and good variety to choose from. I would suggest you come and check it out if you're craving some take out dim sum!

Dim Sum House is a solid go-to for no-frills, tasty dim sum in Sacramento. The staples--har gow, siu mai, were hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was quick and efficient. I also tried the daily special and the green beans--both were flavorful but very heavy on the onions. A little less would've let the main ingredients shine more. Just something to keep in mind if you're not a huge onion fan! Prices are super reasonable and the food hits the spot. Perfect for a casual lunch or dim sum takeout fix. read more

Wow, I love their pork bun; I wish it was still a little warmer or kept in a warmer. The crunchy fried taro has pork in it, and it was pretty good. The service was great. The place is a simple food takeout. During the weekday, they do not offer the whole dim sum menu, only what is showing in the picture. I ordered the skinny chow mein combo, and it lacks flavor and barely any meat. read more

This is an absolutely totally cheap walk up window to-go kind of Chinesefood and dumpling joint. It's a kind of place where you can eat lunch for $3 to $8 so I'm giving a good stars. Also I've never had a problem with MSG here which I normally have a bad reaction to. I love to get their lunch specials my favorite is the Kung pow dishes, but all of them are decent and I order them when I want a lot of food for cheap. Usually I just pop in for the cheung fun rice noodle rolled with onions and Char-siu pork which is cooked absolutely perfectly and is my favorite dim sum dish served here and cost $1. The shu mai, pork dumpling is super tasty and has little bits of waterchestnut in it, which is my favorite way to have it prepared, also sells for $1. I love that they have old school Bac tong go/rice cake. The har gow shrimp dumplings are ok as are the pot stickers, taro, sesame balls. The baked char siu bao/buns are quite good. read more

Updating review as I've been back Several times now since the first review. I thought they only had what was in the case, but no they have a whole menu of items that is not posted. Most items are average to good but you can't beat the price. We just ordered beef chow fun, a tamale, 3 buns, and 6 dumplings for $22. I can easily spend that at Taco Bell and not get as much. With the cost of food prices rising, this is a good value and why I'm bumping a star. Oh and like a donut shop, come early to get the better options. I just missed out on the egg tarts because the lady ahead of me bought them all. Love supporting the small business. read more

This was the only dim sum place I found that opens early in the morning, 9am on weekday actually! Lol. All the other dim sum restaurants don't open till" 11 am or so, but I was really craving dumplings since there aren't many in Roseville and I happened to be in town. Dim sum was okay, but did not have much of a selection unfortunately. Prices go by each piece which is about 80 cents I believe. They also have chili oil packets but not the actual chili oil that has the chilis. Was still provided excellent service! Oh and I don't believe it's only take out, no dine in from what I seen. read more

Wanted to try this place out after seeing it on instagram. Walked in around 12pm and noticed they had already ran out of most food items so make sure to show up before hand. The inside resembles what you'd typically expect for a mom and pop shop which was comforting. I ordered their BBQ pork buns, shrimp dumplings, and shumai. Only had to wait around 5-7 minutes to get a fresh batch which was worth it. The pork buns were delicious and very doughy. Their shumai was flavorful and not too salty. I also loved their shrimp dumplings. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for something flavorful and inexpensive read more

I was in the mood for a quick Dim Sum place on Sunday morning. The prior reviews were helpful. I got the usual dim sum staples. The pork buns were better than the pork / shrimp shumai. The custard dessert was subpar. It was inexpensive and I had to buy more items to get above $10 to avoid the extra credit card fee. Will not likely be back read more

Dim Sum House - All for about $10 - Dim Sum Near Me - Sacramento, California

have not been here for some time. ABC bakery is generally the take-out favorite for locals. But ABC bakery escalated their prices before/during/after the pandemic. However, we were nearby Dim Sum House and decided to give it a try. , we ordered the basics: shrimp dumplings (Har Gow), Pork dumplings (Sui Mi), and Potstickers. so how were they??? Not good. All were doughy, extremely doughy, even the shrimp and pork dumplings had a very thick skin casing. blah. The pork dumplings were also smaller in size than before and had more veggie filling than meat. The potstickers were thick, heavy on ginger, and more cabbage (even had carrots) than pork. Even though ABC bakery is slightly more expensive, at least the flavor is consistent. This place is now not even on the "B Team" for dim sum. i would say The C or D team for local dim sum takeout. Don't come here. read more

On an escape-the-house-drive, hunger pains hit and I wanted some dim sum to go. I remembered years ago that we had stopped by here but couldn't remember how it was. We dropped in just before 3pm on a Saturday. The selection wasn't huge. There were Har Gow, Sui Mai, Pot Stickers, Baked Pork Buns, and a few other things available. I was only interested in steamed items and pot stickers. She wanted a Pork Bun so we ordered a Baked Pork Bun. The food in general was okay. The skin on the Har Gow was thicker than I prefer. I can't really comment accurately on the flavors. She poured hot oil over everything while I was driving so I couldn't taste much after the first bite. My first bite of Har Gow made me think of white pepper but it could have been the oil. I'll have to drop by again when I'm in the area for another taste. The Siu Mai were good and the Pot Sticker was the best of the three because I've always loved lots of garlic and cabbage. I'm going to give an overall rating of 3 for now until I'm able to try them again. One thing to note is that toward the end of their day, the selection is smaller than usual. read more

Located inside a shopping center, parking is very convenient. Came in for a quick Monday lunch and there was a short line. There's only one person working the front, but the wait didn't take long. He was very thorough with the orders and receipt provides breakdown to ensure accuracy. Interior has a few tables for dine in, light and bright, simple and clean. This place is not just a pastry shop, there are also wonton soup and noodles on the menu. Best thing I ate here was the egg tart. Very custardy and flakey crust. Not too sweet, which I enjoy. Shrimp rolls were great too, but were pre boxed, so it's not warm. Big shrimp pieces and noodle roll was slightly chewy as it should be. Sweet soy sauce was little bit salty, so I used just a bit. Chive dumplings were delightful, very juicy when eaten hot. Great texture and chive flavor, but could use a little more chives. Steamed pork buns were great, filled with savory and sweet gooey pork filling. The baked items were a little too stiff for me. Tried the baked bbq pork bun and pineapple bun. I wished the bread part was a little fluffier. It's called a pineapple bun because it resembles an actual pineapple, but to my surprise, there were chunks of pineapples in the pastry. Traditional pineapple buns don't have actual pineapples. I think it made the custard a little too wet to my liking, so I had mixed feelings about this item. Overall, I enjoyed the food and I'd definitely come back again. read more
