First time here I came here looking for some pork buns, they only had steamed ones available so I went ahead and ordered some. All food is take out Menu is kind overwhelming as they have tons of signs posted and offer an extensive variety of items You can call ahead and place your order. Parking is super limited, prices are reasonable Order was ready in about 10 min, my daughter really enjoyed the buns

Offerings and accepts phone orders

Interesting spot on a street that's mostly residential and is definitely a hole-in-the-wall when you walk up. At first glance, it appeared to be a ready to made dim sum takeout spot, but it's actually made to order after ordering. I got their siu mai and shrimp dumplings and the cashier said ready in 5 minutes after I placed the order. The food is steaming hot when they give it to you, this shows that the food is freshly made. As for the spot, it's takeout only and there's no dining area. You can always walk around the block to Kennedy Park if you need a place with a table to eat. There's a decent selection of items on the menu and you can also place an order by phone if you don't want to wait. It appears to offer the selection of items at dine-in restaurants with the carts and actually mirrors a takeout version of Fusion Delight for some reason. The staff working here said they opened around the pandemic. Overall a good place to get dim sum for takeout in the area in San Lorenzo.

Frozen Menu Feb 2026
Yvonne C.

Ordered five frozen items to go: dumplings with shrimp/pea shoots, honey roasted bbq pork bun, cabbage and pork bun, lotus wrapped sticky rice, chicken feet with black bean sauce. Tried the bbq pork bun and was top quality. Note, it is the steamed not oven baked bun. Will update with future pictures as my mouth beat me to the camera. Price-wise, most economical in comparison to grocery stores and restaurants for frozen and fresh. Verified at a variety of Asian supermarkets that the frozen items sold here is the cheapest and best quality minus some Costco dimsum. Parking is limited to two spaces in front and the nearby neighborhood. Dropped by on weekend afternoon and was easily able to snag a spot in front.

Idk how come I never heard of this place as I'm in this area about once a month, but I've missed out since supporting other long time spots I shopped at. My new go to spot since the other spot stoped serving dim sum. Lucky for them they have a new repeat customer for life. Great fresh made dim sum plates while you wait or what I like is they sell frozen made dim sum products for the house.

3. Sin Mai with Shrimp/ 17. Stuffed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf Wrap/
Jia M.

I can vouch that the food tastes better than it looks! My favorite was the chicken feet! It was not too salty, just the right amount of flavor. The Siu Mai was my second favorite! The dim sum here is definitely worth the price! If there is one thing to change, I would wish that the steamed sponge cake uses brown sugar. This would be a lot healthier and it would also taste better with the hint of burnt taste from the brown sugar.

La Mai Gai, har gao and siu mai
Sakkara C.

These dumplings were as delicious as ones I've bought from San Francisco Chinatown....full of flavor, not overly expensive like the restaurants in Castro Valley. I love this and recommend them for others who are fussy about Chinese food.

Bean curd rolls, pork spare ribs and lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice
Juicke C.

I had a craving for dim sum on this late afternoon and couldn't rush out to pay a personal visit. Luckily online delivery provided the food. My order consists of sesame balls, fried taro balls, lotus leaf sticky rice, pork spare ribs, and stuffed bean curd rolls. They all came warm and ready to eat just provide my own hot tea and I am at a tea house. Not only were they warm, they were flavorful. In additional, they were competitively priced.

29. Steamed Rice Roll with Beef/牛肉肠粉
Cindy H.

FYI: you can text them your order as well to avoid the wait time Ordering is straightforward, the restaurant cooks your order fresh, so there is a 10-15 min wait depending on your order. Food rating: Chicken feet is good, although the portion seems a bit small so order double if you really like it. Siu mai is juicy and thick. Steamed rice roll with beef is very soft and delicate, literally falls apart in your mouth. The sticky rice is super filling. Support your local businesses

What a hidden gem! Dim sum has gotten really expensive at a lot of places in the east bay, but Dim Sum House still sells quality dim sum at AFFORDABLE prices. Most dishes are under $5 (about $1.25/dumpling) while other places are charging nearly double that. It is a true "hole in the wall" located in a neighborhood. Parking is limited to street parking but you shouldn't have a problem if you are open to walking a little. They accept credit card. You can order in advance by calling or texting their number. I opted to order in person and the wait was about 20 min for my food. Not bad considering how much I ordered. I came around 10 AM on a Sunday and there was no line. Food was delicious. Everything we ordered was great! The sui mai was probably my favorite. Service was friendly and efficient.

Found this Dim Sun restaurant on Instagram. The reviews all sounded positive so off to Hayward for Dim Sum take-out. I learned a couple of things on my first trip. The service is very good, the Dim Sum is cooked fresh while you wait, if you order on-line you can shorten your wait time, you can park around the corner in the neighborhood if you don't find street parking in front of the restaurant and they have a variety of frozens. I took pictures of the menu of what they sell. We ordered Sui Mai, XLB, Baked Pork Buns, Pork Puffs and steamed rice roll with shrimp. I forgot to take pictures of the food. All if it was fresh, we had to microwave the dim sum because it took about 35 minutes to get home. We need to try Dim Sum House again and eat it in the car, it will probably taste better fresh out of the steamers. The service is very good, food is good but nothing stood out as best dim sum ever but fresh and well priced for Dim Sum. We plan to go again, buy some new items and some repeat dumplings. I would recommend stopping in and ordering some Dim Sum or frozen to take home. They take many different forms of payment including Venmo.

For a to go dim sum spot, this place slaps! For the hot foods, I got chiu chow dumplings, turnip cake, and black sesame mochi with coconut filling. I was surprised by the dumplings! The fillings were generous and the skin was soft. The mochi was soooo good. Next time I'll get 2 orders. For the frozen foods, I got one bag of har gow and 1 bag of XLBs. Dim sum house, If you're reading this please bring soy noodles and porridge to your menu!!!

1/2/25 FYI, owner sister suggested just getting the regular sticky rice.

4.4 stars today, so sorry I had to round down. But I can see a 5 star rating soon! Quality/Quantity - Today we got the following: Two bags of frozen dim sum - Siu Mai and Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow). As for our fresh order: Shrimp Rice Roll - Two orders, small quantity compared to their competitors but their price also reflects that. The sauce was light, good thing I have extra soy sauce at home. Beef Rice Roll - Two orders, see above. Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Good, but also smaller quantity than their competitors. 3 come in an order. Fish Siu Mai - This was a test for us. Basically a fish ball with a Siu Mai wrapper. I actually liked it. Atmosphere - Small local to-go place. White zone in front for parking two or three cars. Plenty of street parking. Open 6 days a week from 9am to 5pm; closed Mondays. Service - 5 stars, the sister is so friendly and nice. Frozen Har Gow was sold out, so she went out of her way to get me an order, hence the different packaging in my photo. Oh, and congrats to the brother with the newborn (2-3 months old now). Price - $70, inexpensive for dim sum. But do keep in mind that their dim sum sizes are smaller than their competitors. As usual, I overbought for lunch today. This was just for my daughter and I, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. I am becoming a regular customer.

The restaurant is really big and we sat at a table for 14 pretty comfortably. We were also here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full. The service is your typical Chinese restaurant vibe where you leave a little bit emotionally abused after paying for overly priced menu items. We did the à la cart and easily spent up to $1500. Better off with the family plan meal but nothing was of interest to us except one or two dishes. It took forever to come out and I mean FOREVER to a point where we almost cancelled a few dishes and called it a night, but they kept saying it's being made. With as many people and as massive as the restaurant was, and the price tags, I was expecting a more efficient service. A couple of times we saw our dish being brought to the wrong table and the people going "oh we didn't order this." With all of that out of the way, I am giving them an average score of 3 starts because the food did bring them back up. It was actually really good. My favorite of all things we ordered was their sea bass with string beans. The sea bass was fried crispy, garnished salty and still soft inside. It paired really well with the string beans. We ordered a bunch of other things that I couldn't tell you what the name was in English and they were above average taste wise. Their complimentary dessert however, was mass produced and tasted like they added too much water to it. This was the only one I was disappointed in. I still say this place is extremely overpriced but for a family meal experience and if you ever want to impress a date, why not.

They move pretty quickly as there's multiple people filling orders. It can get chaotic once you do order with multiple people upfront and whoever was helping is not who is helping you with payment. We tried the fish sandwich, pineapple custard, egg tart, chicken feet, and the shrimp ha gow. They were out of beef sui mai. The fish was really nice and crispy. Had a fresh flavor and the bun was nice and soft. I really liked it but I wish the mayo was spread more evenly. I only got mayo in my last two bites. I took the remaining home and added my own sauce which made it delicious. The pineapple custard was ok. The custard wasn't evenly distributed either and the bread was quite thick. The pineapple crust wasn't as flakey as I like. I wouldn't get this again. The egg tart had too much breading, it was dry and not flaky. The egg custard itself was on the smaller side. The chicken feet were a bit too salty and needed more sugar. My favorite was the ha gow, it was really fresh and soft. I would have gotten more! They also have frozen dim sum you can buy.

The staff told her we wouldn't be seated unless our entire party was present. About 4 people were late, but they still seated us. The restaurant kind of felt old and somewhat dirty. But hey, it was my dad's birthday. I wasn't paying for lunch. We occupied three tables and ordered from both the lunch and dim sum menus. I enjoyed dishes like shiu mai, pork buns, walnut shrimp, fried rice, fish, and fried noodles. The sesame balls were tasty, but the service was slow, and I had to follow up on our order. I didn't care for the bun with the hot dog or the other noodle dish. Later that day, my daughter mentioned she had found hair in a pork bun and that her cousin had eaten it. She also said every item he picked up had hair on it, which was disappointing. I didn't confirm this with my cousin, but it would have been helpful to have someone inform the staff. Fortunately, no one at our table found hair in their food, which was a relief. Overall, the food that I ate was fine, but I wouldn't make a special trip from San Jose to visit again...unless it's a fambam family treat.
