Spot on! The meat was tender and juicy, and the sauce struck the perfect balance between savory and sweet--it was incredibly appetizing paired with rice. The prices are affordable, the portions are generous, and the service is fast. I've definitely added this to my list of favorites; I'll be back again. Five-star recommendation! read more

Food: 5/5, Service: 2/5 Dim sum king has been my family's go to dim sum place since they do dim sum for dinner. We always come in a larger group, and since they have auto grat for large groups it seems that they snub us on service, and seems that there's lack of urgency to get to our table. There nay be other factors for slow service, but this has been consistent during all my visits. What keeps us coming back here is the food! The food selection here is great, and we always leave full and satisfied. We love that they serve dim sum for dinner, and their noodle and rice plates are all delicious as well. They have a wide variety of different veggies and yummy sweets to end your meal with. Coming with a large group is the best way to come and try a little bit of everything. You may get hangry waiting to be served, but the food comes out pretty quickly after ordering. Still recommend dim sum king for those who crave dim sum for dinner like my family! read more

Don't let the name fool you. This place offers more than just dim sum. They are located in a very busy shopping center. Parking can be difficult, but well worth it. The dining area is large and clean with plenty of room in the aisles to move around. The service was very good, our waiters were very attentive. The food was fantastic, every dish we ordered was very delicious. If you want to try some very good authentic Cantonese food, give Dim Sum King a try! read more

Came on a Saturday at around 12:45pm during busy hours. Wait was about 30-45 minutes to sit down. Can't really complain about wait time, just means the establishment is very popular. Tables have a clean sheet so if you drop the food with your minimal experience with chopsticks you can pick it up and eat it. Food is excellent and service is great. Great for family, friends, and dates. (That rhymed btw) The baked durian puff is a MUST TRY! YA FEEL ME BRUH? Lobster nudels (noodles) are herrrrra guuuuut, like hella okurt skrttt. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards. read more

We were back again for the Lunar New Year. The food was excellent and a touch on all the classics! It was packed to the brim like sardines in a can, so that was expected of such a holiday season. We also got dim sum from them for takeout soon after too, so this is a good stop for classic Cantonese dishes as well as dim sum to-go. Flavors are excellent and pretty much a guarantee. read more

Super delicious dim sum! Honestly wondering if locales rated this lower to try to keep it a secret but sharing is caring. This place definitely gets busy during peak dim sum hours so come early or be prepared to wait a bit, especially on the weekend. Parking gets pretty full and it's an average sized restaurant. They don't do the push cart and you order from the slip which I think is really to just save space and squeeze in more tables. Now obviously there are your basic go tos such as shu mai, steamed spareribs, etc but what we need to look at here is the duck! Whether you choose the roasted or Peking duck version, both are solidly tender and delicious. Don't expect the Peking Duck to have super crispy skin without the fat but it's still delicious. Everything is a little bit oilier than I'd like but the soaked goodness is worth it. read more

I grabbed a quick lunch here on my way from SFO to the North Bay. There is a parking lot shared with other stores. It wasn't busy the day before Thanksgiving so we got seated right away. No carts, write your order down on the menu. Food came out pretty quick. Everything was okay, not my favorite of all time, but good. Price is reasonable, it was $65 for two with a little bit of leftovers. read more

After shopping at 99 Ranch, we decided to have lunch here. It's been a while since I've eaten here, and now they have dim sum all day long. It was ~15 minute wait around prime lunch time. Like most dim sum restaurants, there's a paper menu to check off items and give to the waiter. There was also a lady pushing around a cart with boiled items, chicken feet, and porridge. Our order: Hot tea: $1.75/person +We selected 铁观音 Iron Goddess and it was robust. +Tea cups were easy to hold. -Every time we poured tea from the pot, it leaked onto the table. 蟹子烧麦 Steamed Pork Dumplings AKA Siu Mai (4 pcs): $7.95 +Shrimper's delight: Filling was full of shrimp and topped w/shrimp roe +Not too salty -Filling didn't taste very fresh. 潮州蒸粉果 Steamed Minced Meat Dumplings (3 pcs): $6.95 -I didn't try this but this is one of my dad's fave dim sum items and he didn't like it. He said that the filling was mostly veggies. 蘋果叉燒酥 Baked BBQ Pork Puff w/Apple Flavor (3 pcs): $6.95 +Each puff was huge: Definitely the largest BBQ pork puffs I've seen! +Filled w/salty & sweet BBQ pork filling +Golden brown top w/sesame seeds added a fragrant toasty flavor. -Soft texture: It was missing the flaky, crispy layers. -Tasted like a regular BBQ pork puff: I didn't see or taste apples. 香煎韮菜果 Pan-Fried Chives & Meat Dumplings (3 pcs): $9.75 +Good amount of chive & shrimp filling: Shrimp wasn't included in the name and there wasn't any meat so beware if you have a shrimp allergy or are expecting meat. -Despite having "pan-fried" in the name, the tops and bottoms weren't crispy. Also the wrapper was thick. -Expensive for the quality and size: I've had tastier ones for less. 鮮蝦滑腸粉 Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls (3 rolls/6 pcs): $9.75 +Filled with large, plump shrimp +Rice noodles were silky smooth and thin. +Despite sitting in a pool of soy sauce, it wasn't salty. 脆皮紅燒乳鸽 Braised Pigeon: $18.95 +Meat was juicy -Underseasoned: We used the lemon wedge and seasoned salt on the side. -The skin looked (and tasted) off: It didn't have that glistening sheen. Side notes: 1.) Happy hour M-F 9:00am-10:00am: All sizes of dim sum are $6.95. 2.) Free parking in the Skyline Plaza lot *Verdict: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 d/t service. Dishes were cleared promptly and we received tea refills without having to ask. read more

Booked a private room here for dim sum on Chinese New Year. We filled out our sheet and wait quite long for them to come so I had to go turn it myself. Food was quite average but the kicked was the lobster lo Mein was not fresh at all. Quite disappointed in our experience here. Other than the slightly long wait, most service person was quite nice due to the new year. read more

The dim sum was very good and much like other places I have eaten at. Even a few of them in my area. Service was excellent and quick for the most part. What suck was that we came during lunch. Therefore no happy hour. They have it twice a day. First from 9 to 10 AM and from 3 PM to 5 PM. Otherwise it is the regular price. Since we purposely went there because of the daily TV advertising, we won't be back. There are plenty near SFO which is easier to get to get since it's on way home. read more

Great food, tons of selection and variety, friendly service, ample seating, huge portion sizes, and reasonable prices. We got some dim sum classics which were all delicious. We also got the Fujian fried rice, and this fried rice was massive. Easily enough to serve 6-8 people. All the items were honestly pretty big in size. The restaurant is spacious with tons of tables and seating. Service was prompt, and they helped us box up our leftovers. We spent $87 for 2 people, and we have more than enough leftovers for 2-3 more meals. read more

I haven't been back here since they remodeled the restaurant quite some years ago. The trick I learned is to reserve a room, they have at least three private rooms that I am aware of. The rooms require a minimum of two hundred dollars for the bill. That can easily be made with eight plus adults that eat dim sum. We actually made it with additional orders to take out because we only had five adults and three children that didn't eat much but then again the adults had to keep up with me, lol. Their steamed chicken feet which I forgot to get a pic of were real good, that's probably why I didn't get a pic because everyone grabbed it as soon as it arrived, their bean curd skin wrapped veg was also a winner but all and all, most of their dim sum items were pretty exceptional. This is a very popular place so coming early or later after the crowds have tapered off is advisable. The tripe and cold chicken feet I pretty much polished off by myself. I would keep this restaurant in mind if I'm looking for great dim sum. read more

This place, located in chilly Daly City, overall offers excellent dim sum. It is especially impressive because very few dim sum restaurants serve dim sum until dinner time. My favorite is the radish cake series. The pan-fried radish cake and XO sauce are both great. The beef with mushrooms also performs very well. I highly recommend it to connoisseurs who love Cantonese dim sum. 這家坐落在寒冷的Daly City，整體來講，點心表現的非常出色，加上很少有飲茶店到晚餐還能提供點心的，這家非常的加分。其中讓我最喜歡的是蘿蔔糕系列，香煎蘿蔔糕和XO醬都不錯；牛柳香菇表現得也非常好。推薦給喜歡吃港式點心的老饕們。 read more

Party of 2, we went early in the morning on a monday and were seated quickly. because it was early not all menu items were available, but our waitress pointed out which sections of the menu we could still choose from. we ordered: tripe, tofu skin rolls, chicken feet, shanghai soup dumplings, and chive dumplings. STAND OUTS: *the Tripe was great, well-flavored with green onions and had the perfect tripe texture that we were looking forward to! *Tofu skin rolls were good as well, had more mushrooms than you would get at a take-out dimsum spot and tasted high quality. *Chicken feet were delicious and tender, with a mild and enjoyable amount of spice. The shanghai soup dumplings (xiaolong bao) were not great and had opened up before we ate them, so there wasn't actually the soup part inside. I think they may have been over-steamed? Chive dumplings were not bad but nothing special; I have had better from take-out dimsum spots in SF. Overall good, I remember liking their other kitchen items (that werent available due to our early timing) and would have gotten jook (rice porridge) or stir fried veggies if we had gone for lunch. Very pleasant and relaxing music was playing and it was nice to have a sitdown dimsum breakfast after having been out in the fog. If you are a fan of tripe and/or chicken feet, i recommend you try those dishes at Dim Sum King! read more

Wonderful place for dim sum! They also offer variety delicious foods and fresh seafood! and awesome service!

Came here for dinner with the family primarily for their weekday dinner special (sea clams and duck). We also ordered the dried scallop and egg white fried rice, rib eye steak with mixed mushroom in honey sauce, dry braised string beans, and some kind of clay pot (can't recall, but it had meat and bean curd in it). It's your average Cantonese restaurant...it was decent, nothing particularly impressive. I found the portion sizes to be relatively small given the prices. read more

I am a regular at Dim Sum King, but my recent experience was very disappointing. I was seated at a table behind the reception, and despite my request to the receptionist (a thin woman with black-framed glasses) to move us to another location, we were told it couldn't be done because a large group was arriving at five o'clock. A woman with brown hair at the table behind us was very loud. I asked her to quiet down and requested the receptionist to intervene, but they only became louder. After I complained to the manager, he just offered a dismissive apology, and I felt ignored, with the staff even laughing at the front desk. This is a place I frequent, and I am very disappointed with the poor service. read more

They've renovated a couple times over the years and the food is still decent. Though it's gotten a bit more expensive, I love the size and ambiance, as always. Also love that we can walk around 99 Ranch after as well! read more

One of the few Cantonese comfort food left. Dim Sum King is unique in that they serve Dim Sum all day in addition to the traditional Cantonese dishes with a few contemporary spin on some. Located inside a strip mall, parking can be a challenge here and being up on a hill those seated closest to the door will feel the draft every time someone walks in or out. Their Dim Sum menu is pretty complete; from the traditional Shrimp Dumpling, to Lotus Wrap Sticky Rice Chicken, to fresh made Rice Noodle with your choice of filling, to pork bun.. they got it all. Their rice porridge was a traditional dinner soup portion enough for a party of eight. Their Chicken with Pig intestine was tasty and their Roast Duck with Truffle was too salty to eat on it's own (even with rice noodles it was too salty). Price wise, it's inline with other places and they do add a service charge to your bill. Staff here are plentiful and no problem flagging down a waiter/waitress for water or refill our teapot, and they clear out the empty dishes quickly. As with most typical Chinese style restaurant, you'll need to raise your voice to be hear across the table, and overall cleanliness is not the best but acceptable. read more

Good food, fair price, real Chinese food, easy parking and great service. Yes, I would go back again.

I had a great experience at Dim Sum King overall. Most of the dishes were excellent, and a few really stood out. We ordered several tofu dishes, and they were all fantastic. The braised tofu was especially delicious, super soft with a perfectly balanced sauce. Their beef tripe was also a highlight, authentic flavor with the perfect texture, not too soft and not too chewy.If you enjoy intestines, their stewed beef gizzard is a must-try, along with their chicken feet. And you absolutely cannot skip the durian puff, it's one of the best items we had, so generous when comes to durian filling . We also ordered the half duck. It was decent but not great. The meat was juicy but a bit on the fatty side, and the skin wasn't crispy the way it should be.It would be nicer if the skin had more crunch and if they provided more cucumbers and a slightly sweeter sauce to balance the flavors. Not everything was perfect, though. The steamed tofu skin rolls were a bit too oily for my taste. The Shanghai dumplings were the biggest disappointment. Its skin was thick and hard, the filling was dry, and they just weren't juicy at all. The beef rice noodle rolls were okay, though slightly under seasoned when comes to sauce. The service here is truly impressive. The servers are attentive, experienced, and thoughtful. They check on you at the perfect times, and we never had to ask for anything twice. They even have a service call button at the table, but we barely needed it even though it was a full house . It's very comfortable dinner with my family. Overall, Dim Sum King has a lot of strong dishes and we enjoyed it very much. I'd come back mainly for the tofu dishes, beef tripe, chicken feet, durian puff, and stewed gizzard. read more

Food was decent and some dishes were better than others. - watercress soup was a bit too salty - fried intestines not bad - soy sauce chicken favor not that good & more on a sweeter side & color of sauce too dark. -sautéed mix mushrooms with beef ok, beef a bit sweet. -fresh corral shrimp sautéed with soy sauce pretty tasty -steam giant clams with vermicelli pretty good -stir fry yam leaves a little over cook Service: There was not much service at all and the reason for us returning. -We had to ask a waiter a few times to refill water for our tea & first 2 guys ignored us. -Waiter walk by & ignore the table to clear up dishes that were empty or clattering the table -No one refill ice water for the empty glasses -No one came to change our plates at all or even ask us. - we saw some tables was given desserts after dinner and no one offered or asked our table. -when we asked for our check & a lady came to our table to charge the credit card & we asked if there's dessert & she said YES but the few waiters sitting next table eating & no one serving the customers. The lady said, wait a little bit since they are busy but the restaurant was not busy already and the waiters ignored customers & started eating. -they automatically charged 18% tips. Ambiance Bright and clean look overall. The ladies bathroom only has one working stall, so there's a wait. Didn't take the rest of the food photos except one dish. read more

Pretty popular Cantonese banquet hall that also does a strong dim sum service. Went on a weekend night and it was packed the whole duration of our stay from a 20 min wait to walking out the door dodging more people in the waiting area. Siu Mai ($7/4*) Plump and juicy. Salt factor noticeably lower than most other siu Mai's out there. Har Gow ($7/2*) Looked fine but zero pop in the center both in flavor and texture. Totally surprised on this, and not in a good way. Dry Saute String Beans ($20/4*) Perfect texture firm and vibrant with a dry intense coating. Lots of dry sauteed ground pork. First few bites seemed great, but after that we all noticed it was really on the salty side. Kinda fine if you're eating it with white rice. Seafood Pan Fried Noodles ($23/5*) They nailed this. Tons of fresh big chunks of seafood. Only noticed shrimp and cuttlefish both perfectly cooked bouncey and fresh. Gravy was not too heavy and softened the noodles in no time. Good amount of fresh veggies too so this is a one stop shop. Bbq Pork Buns ($6.50/4*) Suffice therefore good. Good ratio of soft moist dough to sweet pork filling. XLBs ($7.50/3*) I'm starting to think if a Chinese resto gives you xlbs in those little star shaped tins, then they are probably not going to be top tier. At least in my experience. Not too much juice womp womp. Lots of whole steamed fish going out that night and looked like the thing to get. Looks like a solid Canto banquet hall for this very Asian area. I'd hit it again but delve more into the dinners versus dim sum. read more

What an amazing dinner! We walked in at about 5:30pm, hoping to beat the crowd on a beautiful Friday evening. We got seated and immediately hopped on the happy hour wagon! We ordered so many delicious happy hour eats on top of the fresh oysters. Then we ordered the main, our number one request was the tomahawk, who doesn't appreciate a tomahawk? We got a great spread on top of that. Then we also tried the short ribs and fish, so yummy. Then finally the dessert tray came out, my goodness, all heads turned our way, it was a wonderful and delicious adventure. Our servers were Diego and Christopher, great service, explained in detail all that we ordered. I can't wait to return for another tomahawk! read more

When we were ordering half roasted duck, the guy taking our order said whole roasted duck is todays special for only $28. When the receipt arrived it says 38.95$ when i asked why, i was pushed around to 3 people explaining to me that was the old menu. I requested to talk to the person who took our order to tell him it was him who encouraged us to order whole because it was todays special. He said "that was the wrong menu". It was not my fault they showed me the wrong menu. In the end they didnt give me the price i was told in the beginning. When i thoroughly checked the receipt they billed us 3 diet coke, instead of 2 coke- this they corrected. But beware to check your receipts!! They make mistakes, lots of mistake. The guy ask what condiments we need.. we ask for lemon, ginger sauce he said "nope we dont have that" They dont give you a glass of water not til you asked. This was a fine dining restaurant. I just felt everyone was so stingy. Id understand if it was a hole in the wall. But no, this is a fine dining restaurant thats zero customer service. When asked for to go boxes, the lady gave us too little, when asked for more she just placed all the boxes in our table rudely. Never coming back here. It sad cause they have good food read more

The ambiance is really fast paced here but the service is quick and what's nice is they have this device on the table where you push a button for service and someone comes up right away. We got here and the place was pretty empty on a Saturday at 530pm but by 7 I guess they take reservations, all the reservations arrived and it was a packed house! The food is DELICIOUS. I've been to many dim sum places and this place by far had the best overall dim sum and family style dishes. We ordered: Salt and pepper wings Crispy salted flounder Green beans Pork soup filled dumplings Shu Mai Hargow Crispy shrimp balls Peking duck Hong Kong style Crispy noodles White rice Hot tea The food came out plate by plate but we didn't wait long at all, probably 10min until all the food was on the table hot and ready. I think the food was cooked really great, the service was quick. I appreciated the fact that one of our guests was drinking water with no ice and one of the workers in a black suit came over and filled her drink without her asking and it was with the correct drink. Things to note: They ran out of sauce ramekins so we had to use tea cups and said we should have made a reservation since we were a walk in. Not sure how this relates to each other but just something I took note of. So be sure to make a reservation! Haha read more
