    Stumbled upon this spot on a Sunday morning while heading toward the nearby flea market and was relieved to find a place that made grabbing dim sum so easy. No line, clean space, fair prices, and I was back in my car within two minutes, bag in hand. It was simple to park at that early hour but the street does get pretty chaotic later in the day so the timing worked out perfectly. I went with a couple of my usual go-to items just to gauge the quality like har gow and beef siu mai. Both were solid and held up well for a quick bite. Good size, no surprises, and similar to what you'd expect from a dependable Chinatown takeout spot. Only thing holding it back from being excellent was that everything was cold. Even though they were sitting in the steamers the food didn't come out hot which was a letdown since I started eating them right after leaving. Still for convenience speed and price it's a reliable option when you're nearby and need a fast dim sum fix.

    2025 update. There is a trade off when coming in at 7:30am. Some stuff are not available but you get fresher dim sum. That was the case for me this morning. The turnip cakes were straight out of the steamer. They didn't have the Chinese donuts available to go along with the porridge. They offered to make me a fresh Chinese donut but I didn't want to wait 10 minutes. The baked goods, dim sum and hot food are solid at Dim Sum King.

    Really liked the lotus leaf and the Dan tat. Lotus leaf was flavorful, with good amount of filling. Dan tat was nice and yolky with a flaky crust, though on the sweeter side. Taro bao was good and different - fluffy bun and good tasting taro paste with chunks inside. Custard bao was fluffy but had very little filling that was a bit overcooked. Prices were good as well.

    Everything a no frills dim sum place should be. The prices are good - the price to quality ratio is excellent. Came here for a quick to go brunch, the beef noodles were excellent and probably the best dish. Steamed pork bun was very tasty and would definitely get again.

    Dim Sum King is a go-to spot for authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum. They make their dim sum in-house, and you can really taste the freshness in every dish. The service is friendly and efficient, the portions are generous, and the prices are a great value for what you get. If you're craving classic, well-made dim sum, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    Fried bread sticks - 3.5 stars (not made fresh, they fry frozen ones, but it's not bad). Late morning takeout Saturday 2023-12-22

    Reviewing from when I came here in December 2023 - the place was called Good Orchard/ Fortune Bakery then. A solid dim sum spot! I got a ton of food for a pot luck my friends and I were hosting. THE WAIT Not too busy at 11am on the Friday before Christmas, but there were other customers coming in and out. I caused a bit of a line since I made such a big order. They were out of Portuguese Egg Tarts. THE COST About $63 for 12 dumplings, 9 buns, 8 fried bread stick (chinese donuts/you tiao), 6 egg tarts. Cash only. THE FOOD Fried Bread Stick ($2.50 each) - 3.5 stars (not made fresh, they fry frozen ones, but it's not bad) Egg tart ($1.50 each) - 3.5 stars, decent stuff, but wish they had Portuguese ones. Shrimp Dumpling (3/$3.80) - 4 stars Leek Shrimp Dumpling (3/$3.80) - 4 stars Pineapple Bun ($1.50 each) - 4 stars Mochi Bun ($1.50 each) - 4 stars BBQ Pork Bun ($2 each) - 4 stars, make sure to get the crunchy ones!

    They bag the dim sum no box!

    Zero star, TERRIBLE customer service, rude, dirty, avoid this place. Latinos este lugar no nos quiere solo a su gente se hasen que no entienden me toco ver el mal trato y servicio a un latino y su comida es horrible nehor vaya aos de Ocean Ave. Donde si tratan bien peto este lugar aparte de sucio te dan todo de mala gana.

    4.5 STARS Dim summing. Remember the days...not too long ago where you roll deep and can build a fortress on your table...stack on stack of bamboo baskets...and pay $25-$30 a head after tip? These days, it's more like $50+ a head for dim sim and nobody be fighting for the bill no more. You'll find me in the bathroom when the bill comes. J/k! Most of us are on budget these days but I find dim sim takeout joints don't hit the same way as a sit down resto. The quality isn't the same esp the wrappers and rice noodles (both are often too thick) but that's the norm because you're paying lower prices. Enter Dim Sum King. Although I only scratched the surface, they may be the most solid dim sum takeout in the south side of the city (Excelsior, Portola, Ingleside area). They took over Good Orchard Bakery (same phone #) and are *not* related to Dim Sum King in Daly City or in Sunnyvale. Open for takeout and limited dine-in. No delivery. M E N U Dim sum, dumplings, buns, noodle rolls, individual pies (chicken pie, bbq pork puff, curry puff), etc. They're still ramping up so limited offerings for now. Although they have a posted menu of congee, rice + noodle dishes, and HK noodle soups, they're not available yet. Prices are higher than other dim sum takeout spots in the area but I find the quality better. CASH ONLY. F O O D * Har Gow: Shrimp Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 4 Stars The wrapper was soft and chewy (pic makes the wrapper looked thicker than it is), and it was generously filled with firm shrimp. Shrimp literally spilled out when I took a bite. * Siu Mai: Pork Dumplings (3 pc - $3.50) // 3.5 stars Standard, meaty pork dumpling. I believe this one doesn't have any shrimp but confirm with staff if you have an allergy. * Shrimp & Leek Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 4 stars Big bois that were packed with fresh shrimp and mildly sweet leeks. * Shrimp & Chive Dumplings (3 pc - $3.80) // 3.5 stars Similar to the har gow but with cilantro and the wrapper was thicker. * Shrimp Cheong Fun ($5.50) // 5 stars Best in show, the noodle rolls were filled with two plump shrimp per roll. The noodle texture was on-point and rivals the ones found at sit-down dim sum restos...glossy, smooth, chewy, and slightly translucent. The accompanying sweet soy was awesome. * Steamed Spare Rib w/ noodle rolls (Small - $5.55) // 4.5 stars Kinda scant on the steamed spare ribs that needed more black bean sauce for oomph. But...the noodle rolls were great - deliciously soft, chewy, and glossy. The picture doesn't do it justice. * Baked Char Siu Bao ($2) // 3 stars Their take on snow mountain bun made famous by Tim Ho Wan in HK that formerly held a Michelin star. Think char siu bao with a sweet, crisp cookie top similar to a bolo bao (pineapple bun). The bao texture was soft and fluffy but the char siu needed more salt to balance the sweetness of the cookie top. Personally, I rather pay more for a more char sui filling. S E R V I C E Cordial. A M B I A N C E Newly renovated, bright and low key with several tables for dine-in. P A R K I N G Challenging street parking. Overall, Dim Sum King is a great addition to the area and IMO, a cut above their competitors. 4.5 stars rounded up for a new local small business. Can't wait until they offer their Slippery Eggs & Shrimp over rice! Iykyk.

    This is the usual dim sum dive that you would find in San Francisco but the quality of dim sum and the prices are solid. Orders are around $3.80 for three pieces and $1.50 for one piece. There are a few small tables, but I would do take out for sure for best enjoyment at home with a pot of jasmine tea. We moved to Daly City from the Outer Sunset five years ago and it took us this long to find a dim sum take out place we like that's close by. This place opened recently so we are stoked. Service can be slow since they only had one person working the counter the two times we went. English OK.

    Happy hour $3 each

    Descent food cheap prices cheaper than sunset pinnapple mochi bun was the best only $1.50. Front lady was polite.

The event going off without a hitch was really important, especially because the bride had lost her mom and didn't have her to celebrate this special milestone.

I ended up canceling my original order because DoorDash wasn't going to confirm a dasher until the day of the delivery. I re-ordered through DoorDash but this time as a pick up. Again, DoorDash's service was leaving me unsure because they weren't going to send the order through until the pick up day. This was $500 worth of dim sum and I didn't want to take a chance the restaurant didn't receive the order or that they couldn't fulfill it in time. So, I canceled that order as well. I called the restaurant directly. They took my order without hesitation and made me feel at ease that everything will be ready on time. I called again in the morning to confirm my order before leaving for pick up. I couldn't get a hold of anyone, most likely they were busy with their Sunday rush, but they called me back even without me leaving a message! When I arrived my order was ready, The food was hot, packaged so nicely, and everything was clearly prepared with care. I was helped by a very nice staff member who made us feel like we were longtime customers. My daughter and her friends absolutely loved the food! Thank you so much, Dumpling House.

Naturally, I thought the same would be for this location, ordering for delivery. Sadly, I was proved very very wrong. I got a total of 3 items and paid a little over $50 not including tip.First plate, stir fry noodle Shanghai style 0/5. Noodles were stiff, entire plate lacked flavor, it was really dry. The cabbage was just sort of thrown in there and to my surprise, there was chicken (I didn't think it came with meat) and it was so suspicious, one bite and I immediately had to spit it out. It was chewy and tasted uncooked. I began to lose my appetite... Sesame Chicken 0/5 - it was all batter, little to NO meat inside whatsoever. Saucy but it was very clumpy. I was so disappointed with this one. It was literally just eating fried batter in sesame sauce with sesame seeds thrown on top. Braised String Beans - 2.5/5. They were fine, flavored enough with the grilled onions and garlic other than that, not impressive at all. I had really high hopes for this place/order. I had been craving Chinese food for so long and was going to order from my typical place but decided to give this one a try. I definitely should have stuck to what I know would have hit the spot. An absolute waste of $50, so frustrating.

I walked into the restaurant about 45 minutes before closing time at 9:30 PM and several other diners came in after I was seated. The unsettled weather made the people hungry for dumplings. Bao is warm and woody and serene on the inside, a great counterpoint to the bustle of Valencia at every hour.

The buns come out beautifully presented and taste even better: the bun itself is just slightly sweet and that sweetness adds an amazing dimension to the chopped fresh vegetables inside. Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good.

The baked bbq pork buns are sweet with a decent amount of filling. The deep fried dumpling is plump, juicy, and crunchy. The shrimp and chive dumplings are my favorite. It's full of shrimp with a slightly thicker skin, which I think adds a nice chewiness. The veggie egg rolls were okay. I personally wouldn't order those, even if I was craving them. The spare ribs had a really nice savory flavor from the sauce. The egg tarts were okay. I need to note that these bags are leftovers from the day, so they're not as fresh. But they held up the next day so I was able to stretch 2 meals out of them. I can't comment on service since these bags are only for pick up. But they quickly provide the bags once the window open. And it's a small space, with maybe 2 tables. So this place is probably best for to-go orders. Their 2g2g bags have more variety than their Chinatown location. Not sure how many dim sum options there are in the Mission, but I would go here if I was in the area and craving a shrimp and chive dumpling.
