Huge pieces of dim sum for a relatively low price, compared to the seafood restaurants. The value is there, but unfortunately the taste is not. I couldn't finish eating a few items ordered. The chicken feet were chewier and did not taste like other chicken feet I'm used to. The baked bbq pork pastry tasted like lard used for the flaky wrapper, very little flavor came from the filling. The garlic pork ribs did not have a good flavor. read more

Support small business! The beef and shrimp rice rolls were just "ok" 2/5 Shrimp balls? 4/5 Ha Gow Sui Mai ? 4/5 for the giant size 3/5 for the taste Egg tarts 4/5! Chicken feet 5/5 fire!! Soy sauce noodles 3.5/5! Portion? 5/5 Service ? It's ok! You fill out the sheet and he bags your orders for ya! They also took out and de cluttered the place so there's two tables and some chairs inside now. It's actually a good move. They also have a glass display for roast duck and bbq pork! read more

Prices have gone up since I last reviewed this place but everywhere has gone up as well; 4.98 to 5.98 depending on the items. Despite the prices, you're still getting quality and amazing taste for all day Dim Sum. They've added more items onto their menu: cook to order items like noodles, entrees, fried rices and now have Chinese BBQ, although the appearance of their Chinese BBQ can definitely be better! They have two tables in the restaurant if you wish to dine in. Cash is king but they do take card. You'll be charged a service fee if you're using card. read more

Dim Sum King - Shumai - Dim Sum Near Me - El Monte, California

As prices are rising, it's good to find a dim sum place that's under $5 / plate. Not all are under $5 but a good selection of them are.( see menu pic). Authentic taste. They speak Cantonese so I can tell them exactly what I want. It's a small place , 2 booths. It's mostly for to go. You'll get your money's worth. Their baked BBQ pork buns are HUGE. Good value. You can get the soy sauce chow fun for under $8 and it's a huge portion (see the picture of our spread). read more

They recently increased prices, almost $1 more per dish and $2 for the premium dishes, bummer! The food is still good but there are definitely some good dishes and some pass dishes. I would personally continue to pass getting the Shrimp Cheung Fun or anything related because the dough seemed too gooey. For $6 per dishes like xiu mai I may not frequent this place as much as I did before. This spot has turned more into every other dimsum spot in terms of price so the appeal of being cheaper dimsum is no longer there. read more

Very authentic dim sum in a casual spot with primarily take out orders. I initially found this spot because I love Hello Boba next door. They have tables available for dine in now. Shrimp Har Gow - similar to dumplings but they have a softer chewy skin, a favorite! Big chunks of shrimp. It's delicious! Shiu Mai - pork and shrimp dumpling is a won ton skin, another yummy favorite Haim Sui Gok - fried mochi filled with seasoned ground pork with a sort of sweetness. I've loved this since I was little. Egg Custard - always a favorite, love the flaky crust! Baked BBQ Pork Bun - another favorite! Brushed with a lightly sweet glaze, this pastry bread wrapped around chopped BBQ Pork, it's always my go to. Beef Chow Fun - pretty standard Cantonese staple and they do a good job here Rice Noodle Roll - any of them are good, I love the silliness of the noodles and the sweet soy. Baked BBQ Pork Pastry - this is really good too. A bit on the dessert side but great flakey crust. Service was quick and friendly. They speak English. Parking is convenient in the shared lot. Definitely recommended! read more

Dimsum prices have gone up significantly since the last pics that were posted for early August 2025 (I ordered end of August) and using credit card will incur a small additional fee. I did place a fairly big order - 17 orders which came out to $110 (I paid cash) and I inquired about the either free dimsum OR free dessert promotion if you spend over $40. I was hoping to get a free dimsum (Or at least take off one of the orders) but really the option was the dessert which was a small mango pudding cup. (And only the one dessert cup, not even 2 for spending almost triple the threshold). In general, it's an ok to-go order as the dimsum pieces are slightly bigger, but the price tag that went from $4.88 to $5.98 for shumai and hargow was kinda surprising. read more

Dim Sum King - The updated prices as of 8/31/2025 - Dim Sum Near Me - El Monte, California

It's hard to find dim sum that's under $5 and still tastes good. This one hit both marks. Dim Sum King offers take-out only, but don't let this fool you. This place offers authentic HK-style dim sum. All of the dim sum tastes good, and it also offers a variety of iced teas. Since it is to go only, the service it offers is minimal, but it is good. read more

The items here are pretty solid for a take out dim sum spot. Perfect for our road trip. Fried siu mai - I like the crispiness on the outside but the inside is drier than the regular siu mai Ha gow - Pretty solid ha gow Siu mai - these were enormous and delicious Footballs - the dough was a little thicker than I'd like and filling was a little sweeter than I like Char siu pastries - a lot of people love this one Chive dumplings - I wish they could've fried this one when we pick up so that it's crispy. Not much shrimp inside Shrimp rice noodle - their sweet soy sauce is better than most places read more

Dim Sum King is a no frills dim sum take out spot. It might not be the best, but it's good value. My boyfriend and I ordered most of the things we normally do, and it cost about half of what we paid for on our latest dim sum outing prior. Bring Cash, because there is a 3% "convenience fee" on credit and debit cards. The process is pretty simple. Get in line a bring one of their order sheets with you. Mark up the items you want and hand it to their staff when you get to the front of the line. They quickly put together your order, and you pay at the register. We ordered the following: - Shrimp Har Gow ($4.88) - About average execution compared to other places. - Shiu Mai ($4.88) - About average execution compared to other places. - Bean curd Roll w Pork in Oyster Sauce ($4.88) - First time getting this and I'm not a fan. Everything was mushy in texture. Pass on this next time. - Turnip Cake ($4.38) - Thicker slice than usual, less meat, could have been more crispy on the exterior. - Sesame Ball ($4.38) - Red bean filling. Nice and crispy. - Egg Custard ($4.38) - Pretty good, flakier than it looked. - Rice Noodle Roll w Shrimp ($4.38) - Very disappointing. Usually one of my favorite dim sum items but I wouldn't get it again here. The shrimp was tiny it looked like all rice sheets when I opened it. - Baked BBQ Pork Pastry ($4.38) - Surprisingly tasty. More delicious than it looked. We liked it enough to consider coming back more for. I'll avoid the items I didn't like next time and try their Preserved Egg & Salted Pork Congee. read more

The food here is incredibly fresh and authentic. While I was ordering, I saw an older staff member in the kitchen bringing out steaming hot dishes--always a good sign. I got the S3, and the portion was massive for the price. Seriously, I was shocked--in a good way! Everything I tried was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. And the prices are probably the most affordable I've seen around. Like, good food and good value? Yes, please. It's a small shop with just two tables, but the amount of amazing food that comes out of that little kitchen blew me away. I'll definitely be coming back often. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

It is a small dim sum togo shop in El Monte. Although the price is not as attractive(they increased price) their ha gaw and shu mai were decent in flavor/portion/freshness. We also ordered their chicken sticky rice, the portion is twice as big as other places. The only dish that we didnt finish was the shrimp chang fun(蝦腸粉), somehow the rice paste was so thick, big and soggy and we ended up wasting it. read more

Yum dim sum! This was a nice find. The dimsum here isn't the prettiest but the taste is there. It's also fast and convenient for take out! The portions are generous compared to most other dimsum restaurants. They have a nice selection of the favorites. I chose some cha siu pork buns, shiu Mai, egg tarts, egg cream buns, and the cha sui pastry. Didn't go wrong with any of my choices. The food is fast and furious! I'd come again if I needed a quick dimsum fix! read more

Wanted to get Saturday dim sum without the long waits. So my family decided to take it to go. Food: 4/5 The dim sum was nice and steamy. The portions were big and for $30, we had more than enough food for three people. My favorites were the banana leaf sticky rice which was delicious -'d the shiu mai that were hardy and filling. I was not the biggest fan of the pineapple buns because the custard inside was not runny. Service: 5/5 Service was pretty good. You go in, mark on the paper what you want and you give it to the server. They prep and pack everything and you pay. It was quick and the servers pack the food right in front of you. Parking was easy. The restaurant is small, but efficient. The food was affordable compared to other dim sum places. And they accept credit card. read more

This place is overrated and not very good, you can find dimsum places of higher quality around the area

Great spot to pick up some dim sum to go. I ordered har gow, shui mai, chicken feet, shrimp and chive dumplings, and a BBQ pork bun. Everything was good and priced well. The man working the counter was friendly, which made the quick stop even better. They even have decent parking read more

Meh, it's affordable, but don't expect too much. If you want a quick fix sure but it ain't worth it to me. I tried their har gow, siu mai, and rice rolls. Har gow falls apart too easily and siu mai has bits of meat that are inedible. Both lack any sort of flavor. I guess the rice rolls were ok, but they don't give that many shrimp pieces, and they aren't big. Aside from being cheaper than most, I'd rather look somewhere else for better quality dim sum. read more

Came here on a weekend and surprisingly, it was not busy. I was curious about this place because I saw a Facebook post about it. The pricing of the dim sum is unbeatable, can't buy dim sum under $5 in this economy. The food itself is ok. My favorite however are the siu mai, filled with meats and they're huge. The pan fried chive cakes were also my other favorites. The chicken feet, rice rolls, and bbq pork were ok to me. Nothing really stood out. This place is to go only and ordering is easy because there's a paper with the menu where you mark what you would like to order. read more

Dim Sum King is a very good choice if you are craving dim sum, but don't want to wait for a table and pay for tea at the traditional Chinese dim sum place. For a take-out place like Dim Sum King, the food quality is excellent, I would say that some dishes are even better than the restaurants that I've been to in the San Gabriel Valley neighborhood. This is my first review of the place after trying two times, and my recommendations for 1st timer are： (1) Steamed chicken feet凤爪 (2) Steamed beef ball 牛肉丸 (3)Beancurd roll with pork in oyster sauce 鲜竹卷 (4) Garlic spare ribs 蒸排骨 (5) Shiu Mai烧麦 Hope these additional tips can help too: - you can call them and order over the phone, instead of ordering online and paying an extra service platform fee. - if you pay with a credit card or debit card, the customer will bear the 3% card charge. It is a small shop inside a plaza, but can get very crowded at times. I see a lot of customers pre-call, so if you know what you'll want, highly suggest to give them a call before heading over. Enjoy! read more

Driving by once so decided to give this place a try. It's takeout only. Interior is small and looks old but decently clean. This is self service so you get a menu and check the items you want to order then give it to the worker. All items are huge but fillings are limited. Price is cheap so you can't expect too much. There's a service charge for credit card, we didn't know until we paid! Didn't see any sign around the cashiers area. - chicken Sticky Rice Wrap is lack of fillings - Baked BBQ Pork Pastry is decent - Steamed Beef Ball is huge but too much baking soda/meat tenderizer - Rice Noodle Roll with beef barely have any beef - Sesame Balls is tasty - Steamed Fun Guor, the skin is too thick and chewy - Beancurd Roll with Pork in Oyster Sauce is good - Turnip Cake is very delicious, there's actually shredded turnip in it! Probably will return and try their other dim sum like Shrimp Har Gow, Shiu Mai, Steam Chicken Feet and other traditional dishes. Not sure if I would recommended until I try them out again! read more

Great little hole in the wall with Togo dim sum. They have all the basics. It's not fancy but does the job. Prices are bit lower than most places. Located in mini plaza with boba shop next door. They gave specials with rice porridge and dim sum dish combos read more

Always ordered Dim Sum King from Ubereat. The Food is good, but the price keeps going up. Now, the average per dim sum is like $7

This is a to-go/ delivery order update! Dim Sum King still hitting the cravings out of the park for me. Sunday dim sum orders remind me of going to restaurants with my parents or having them pick up to-go dim sum. Except they didn't teach me Chinese so the anxiety I have when I have to go to restaurants without anyone that can order (...) LOL. BUT since I can order Dim Sum King to be delivered, I don't have to worry. Must gets for me are Ham sui gok: comes with 3 football shaped glutinous goodness. They're deep fried glutinous dumplings that have a nice mochi-like texture filled with meat and sometimes veggies. The meat used in this is pork and they have a nice glaze/sauce. I loveee ordering this! Chicken sticky rice: comes with 2 bundles and I always crave this from Dim Sum King only and I always doubt myself about whether I really want it or not. The minute I open the steamed lotus leaf wrapped bundle I'm just drooling. The saucy chicken is in the middle and there's also a piece of lap cheong/ Chinese sausage too. I never finish one bundle so I have plenty of leftover after :) Fried siu mai: comes with 4 and this is hit or miss when ordering delivery! Sometimes it's regular siu mai (steamed) and sometimes it's the deep fried one. TRY THE DEEP FRIED ONE, it's so unique and a delicious take on siu mai. Only thing about the siu mai is it can be a little too salty for me, so try not to add too much soy sauce directly on it. read more

As other reviewers have mentioned, the dim sum here is of good size. The sesame balls, har gao, and fried rice were good! Be sure 2 order from the checklist. S they have there because I had an old one, and all the numbers did not correspond to the actual items. read more

Dim sum & then some. Not only does this place has the best siomai in the immediate area, they offer items in their menu that they cook only upon order & not sitting by the heat lamp. Their price makes up for the volume. For instance, other places serve only 4 pcs of siomai, here they give you 5 pcs. And they are big pieces too. They only opened up sometime in September & I do hope that they succeed throughout the years for my own selfish reason. I want to keep coming for more. read more

The service is very fast and the portion sizes were very generous! The food is very fresh, and usually if they are out, it'll take them about 10 minutes to steam a new batch. The chicken feet is usually spicy at other restaurants, but this one has a sweeter taste, which is not my preference. The salty egg bun is literally a gooey liquid center, highly recommended! read more

Got the Siu Mai, Fried Turnip Cake, Ham Siu Gok and Rice Flour Noodle with Shrimp. Everything was fresh and tasty. Also, the size and portions were very good. My only suggestion is a tad less rice flour in the noodle. Another plus is the price. Got all 4 items for $19 and change and that included the tax. read more
