Came by earlier this afternoon to grab a quick brunch when both my husband and I were craving dim sum. Parking was fairly easy with tons of parking spots in the plaza and inside the restaurant was a more to-go style spot but there are some seats for you to enjoy your meal. The overall ambience of the spot was quiet and cozy. Service was very quick and they were able to take our orders quickly. I noticed even with more people coming in, they took orders quick and were able to serve them almost instantly. It looks like they take catering as well. My hubby and I got an order of the siu mai ($6.15 for 3 pieces), har gow ($6.15 for 3), BBQ pork bun (~$3 for 1), and the black bean spare beans ($6.15). Prices were fairly decent and the portion sizes were fairly big! The siu mai was a bit sweeter than I normally like, but I liked the size of them. Har gow was fresh (it did come out 5-10 mins after we sat down) and was actually very plump and the skin was easy to eat (most places the skin falls apart). BBQ pork bun was also very good - can't go wrong with a simple bun. Black bean spare-ribs were just OK, definitely could be better as it felt too garlicky and most of it was fat. I am deducting a star mostly due to the food not being as hot. Since we were able to eat right away, we were hoping the food would be fresh/hot but the siu mai and spare-ribs were just very lukewarm. I would most likely come back but bring home our items to microwave and enjoy at home. read more

Came by the other day to grab some dim sum and it was a tasty experience. Parking is available inside the strip mall lot or on residential streets behind the shop. There are a few tables indoors for dining along with a few tables outside. They now have air conditioning. The quality of their food is actually decent, on par with dim sum restaurants in the area. Dim sum favorites include their spare ribs, chicken feet, pork football. The best part is that everything is sold by piece so one can mix and match. They also have a good variety of hot entrees including salt and pepper fish, garlic string beans. They have various promotions, including a discount for paying cash. Some staff wear a glove on their hand too. read more

Dim Sum King - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Been going here for years! It's convenient, since I work across the street. When I have dim sum cravings, this is the place to go. There's an abundant of choices. Sometimes, I pass on the hot foods (not steamed) because it looks like it's been sitting there for a while. Best time to go is when they open, or during lunch since the turnover on their hot dishes is constant. Their huge baked pork bun is just as good as the one I'd get in Mt. View. Siomai is also delicious. Plump and juicy. There are few seats inside and 3 tables outside in the corner next to Fish & Chips. Mainly folks do take out. Service is good but sometimes, bagging is questionable. One cashier loaded up my bag and I just knew it will rip once I pull it off the counter. I had to ask for a second bag and repack myself. Another cashier actually trimmed the sharp corners of the container, which was great. read more

Dim Sum King - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Dim sum and more. Take out, cafeteria style. Frozen available for reheating at home as well. Quality is as expected for prepared food that has been sitting out. Still solid, just not the freshest. Portions are huge! I got a combo plate and couldn't even finish half of it. Even the buns and potstickers are bigger than average, and they don't skimp on protein. Cards accepted. 5% off when paying with cash. read more

We hadn't been here for several years. Although the prices were always a bit high, it was convenient and close to my work, so we decided to stop by again yesterday. I sent my son in to pick up some baos, har gow, and egg tarts. I think the ownership may have changed since the last time we were here a few years ago. I also noticed there were no East Asian employees working at the counter, which was different from what I remembered from our previous visits. Unfortunately, the food-handling standards also seemed to have changed for the worse. My son said the worker (girl with long dark hair in a braid) at the counter picked up one of the Portuguese egg tarts with her bare hand and put it into the bag. When I asked him why he didn't say anything, he said her fingers only touched the tart's foil holder and not the tart itself. I explained to him that it still wasn't a safe or hygienic way to handle food. We had to get to his game and didn't have time to go back inside and ask for a replacement. One star because of the unhygienic food-handling practice we observed. Whether or not the ownership has changed, the standards certainly seemed lower than what I remembered from years ago. read more

This place over fifteen years ago was a cash only business. They pretty much accept all payment types now. Nowadays, it's great to see them surviving and thriving at this tiny store in Sunnyvale. Parking lot is still large enough to find available spots. Pho Nam in the same plaza used to be my go to Pho restaurant. Staffs were Chinese and Indian workers inside Dim Sum King. All were very helpful, organized, well trained, and attentive. Pretty decent prices compared to other similar places. Note, you can get additional 10% off if you show a military/veteran ID card, 10% off if you purchase more than $100 before taxes/tips, and 5% off if you pay in cash. This is really not bad at all and discounts can be fully combined to save you money on your visit. I like that you can still sit and wait inside. Nothing fancy/just an old dim sum takeout foods spot that's been around for ages. I picked up some BBQ pork buns/hot dog buns/egg tart/HK pineapple bun/and a yellow fried rice medium box size. Happy bird. I haven't ate anything from here in years. Everything is still fulfilling/good portion/delicious for Cantonese dim sum items/buns. Over the counter foods were ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. BBQ red meats aren't cheap here. Freezer foods are worth looking at. They also have special Lunar New Year promotions and items too. It's a convenient spot to grab and go. So far so good. Good staffing. This is worth revisiting. read more

Dim Sum and then some! [Sunnyvale CA] We picked up a TGTG deal next door at Edible Arrangements and saw this dim sum fast food restaurant. We decided to stop by inside while there was no line. There were different dim sum options: steamed, baked or fried, egg rolls, shrimp balls and desserts -- egg tarts, custard buns, sesame balls, and many more. Prices were decent. We chose 2 orders of the 3-pcs Shrimp & Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai) and 3-pcs Pan Fried Shrimp & Chives Dumpling. There were a couple of tables inside but most people get them to go. We grabbed a table and dined in. I wasn't particularly fond of the shrimp & chives dumpling but I did enjoy the Siu Mai. They were big pieces, flavorful and very filling. Plenty of shared parking in a strip mall. Review #3946 read more

Swing by after seeing some apartments as we were in Sunnyvale around 10am. Most dim sum places open around 11 but dim sum king was open much earlier. Awesome! Dim sum king also specializes in take-out style dim sum as opposed to purely dine in style. They do offer seating to eat but items relatively small that would only seat 2-3 parties of 2-3 people. They have their classics like the shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, etc. All pretty reasonably priced. When ordering, I noticed that the team was pretty diverse and spoke mainly English too. Definitely less of a barrier for those that want to try dim sum! We ordered the bbq pork bun, hargow, siumai, and chicken feet. All very delicious! We would definitely come back again if the apartment hunting in Sunnyvale works out. Thanks dim sum king! read more

Was craving dim sum but didn't feel like going to a full sit-down restaurant. This place looked like it had most of the items we wanted, so we decided to stop by. There was a short line, but it moved quickly and we were able to order without much wait. We tried a mix of items: 3 pieces for $5.55: * Shrimp & Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai) - big and tasty * Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow) / Shrimp Ball - both were large and good * Taro Fuzzball (Pork) - deep-fried taro puff, nice and crispy, very good $2.95 each: * Green Onion Roll - had a sweeter, caramelized flavor that I didn't love since I prefer a more savory taste * BBQ Pork Moon Puff - good * Baked Egg Custard Bun - ok Overall, not bad for $30+. It satisfied our dim sum craving without the full restaurant experience. Would love to come back and try more items when our daughter can join us, especially curious about the chicken feet. Definitely will be back. read more

My husband works within walking distance from Dim Sum King. Um...yes please! This place is so good!!!! I'm a vegetarian and there are options for me, I can't believe it. Their food doesn't mess up my tummy, which is a major plus. Oily food can hurt me, due to not having a gallbladder anymore. This place is truly my king for being safe to me. We usually walk away spending almost $50, because I want as much as I can get. We usually get 3 meals spread out. You get a discount if you pay in cash. They also accept credit cards. I like all the happy cats for sale. I have one on the dash of my car. We haven't tried the frozen foods, just because we don't know how to cook them. Our rice cooker is super tiny, like dorm room tiny. If you live in the area, check out my favorite place. read more

Big portions, fresh, and convenient! Ordered and quick service while picking up! I ordered the classics: Har Gow, Siu Mai, and Ham Sui Gok (Stuffed Pork Football). So filling and they all tasted so delicious! Small little shop made to order on the go and will be coming back! read more

Dim Sum King - 3 Pieces Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gow), 3 Pieces Shrimp & Pork Dumpling (Siu Mai), and 3 Pieces Stuffed Pork Football - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Located in a plaza with ample parking. They have a line for ordering and for pick up. We opted for take out. Fried rice - flavorless, not even salt Sesame chicken - nice flavor, a little dry Pork spare rib - not enough flavor Har gow - nice chew on skin, big pieces of shrimp Shrimp & chive - seems like there was no shrimp at all Shrimp bean curd - overly salty, tastes like it was fried in old oil Fried siu mai - taste good, like a fried potsticker Overall would not come back for dim sum read more

This place is soo crowded on weekends! I went for the first time at 11:45am on a Saturday and the line was out the door. I opted to order ahead online via 3rd party so I could avoid waiting in line but still ended up waiting. They technically have a separate line for online pickups but it converges to the same checkout line for the normal orders so it was quite inefficient. I was at the very front and couldn't ask anyone to get anyone's attention to get my online order for a good 5 minutes. They run out of stuff by 12pm so I suggest going earlier. I liked the sui mai, har gow, bean curd rolls, bbq pork (only served on weekends), fried shrimp ball, and sesame ball, and . The pan fried noodles were underwhelming and tasteless, and the steamed pork baos were dry. Overall place is about 3.5 but decided to round up. Decent togo place for dim sum if you're in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to try. read more

Fast and affordable dim sum place. I ordered the beef chow fun, siu mai, and mango mochi. The mango mochi is my favorite, it wasn't overly sweet and had real mango pieces inside. The coconut flakes on the outside gave it a real nice texture. Service was quick and it's great place for takeout. read more

I stopped by Dim Sum King on a Sunday morning around 9:30am. I was craving dim sum, but I didn't want to have a full blow sit down meal nor wait until lunch. Appreciated that Dim Sum King opens early in the morning for breakfast. Dim Sum King is a small grab-and-go spot, and the service is fast. I ordered a few essentials, such as crispy shrimp balls, har gow, shrimp and chive, and shu mai. The 3 types of shrimp dim sum were fine. Craving satisfied. My hubby said the shu mai was standard. I love bean curd wrapped dumplings in soup, but they're mostly made with pork that I don't eat. I got their fried version that has shrimp only. I enjoyed the crispy texture, but It tasted oily and salty. I got the steamed egg buns for good measure, which were great. Not overly sweet. Lastly, I thought the pricing was so affordable. An "order" equated to 3 of each item. I had 18 total pieces, which came out to $36.34 after taxes and fees. read more

Solid take out dim sum place. They forgot 2 of my items so I ended up going back to let them know and they showed me how to request a refund on Door dash and gave me a free item as an apology. read more

This is a small casual spot. Staff is friendly. You can order ahead or order dimsum frozen. I love getting their dimsum, Hargow, shu mai, Siopao ( bbq bun) and their egg tarts are all delicious. Big and juicy and the eggtarts are so good. They also sell Chinese food to-go but haven't tried it. My rating is only based on Dimsum! read more

Solid takeout dim sum. Very generous portions and well-priced. We tried the radish cakes, BBQ pork bao, shrimp and pork shu mai, shrimp har gow, and baked egg custard tarts. All were strong renditions of the classics. Would definitely return when a dim sum craving hits! read more

I was in the mood for some dim sum and decided to finally give this place a try! They're a takeout spot and seemed popular with the locals, there was a small line formed to order. I went with the Har Gow, Siu Mai, Lo Bak Go, BBQ Pork Cheung Fun, and Chicken Feet. The Har Gow and Siu Mai were good, but I wouldn't get the Cheung Fun again. Overall, I thought that flavor wise, everything was okay, but I've definitely had better dim sum. It certainly didn't compare to other dim sum places that I've had, takeout included. So while I was glad to have given them a try, I would opt for other dim sum places before coming back here. read more

Good in a pinch when you want a quick fix to grab and go! I really like their ginger fish, and hot and sour soup. Dim sum can be a little oily in my experience but still tasty. Parking is easy and the staff is very nice. read more

$20 for a plate of three orders of dimsum and chowfun is a pretty good deal! I tried siu mai, bean curb roll, and har gow. I'd come again :) They have a bunch of baked good too but $3 a piece is pretty expensive in my opinion read more

As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look appealing except for the long line of people waiting to buy dim sum. There is only one table inside for dine-in and two or three very small tables outside. The line moves very fast as the servers work efficiently. They speak both English and Cantonese which is very helpful for both Chinese and non Chinese speakers. All the food items are well labeled in English. Taste and quality of the food - excellent, delicious. The ingredients are truly fresh, they do not use fillers. The tofu skin shrimp cake is all shrimp. Besides what's on display over the counter, the steamed dim sum are behind the counters in the steamer. You have to ask for those. I travel over half hour to this cafe. It is absolutely worth the trip. read more

Dim sum king has changed so much and I still love it after 6 yrs. The food is a bit different now but I really like how affordable and good the options are.

The food on the 15th anniversary day was really good, better than normal. They were busy so they were refilling all the trays. There was a line but the wait wasn't too bad. The employees were friendly too. Only two tables outdoors so much better to do take out. The vegetarian chow fun was soft. The salt and pepper wings were salty and crisp, not too dry. The sesame chicken was crisp. I loved their shrimp & tofu, fuzzy football, eggroll, fried shrimp, and custard tart. This is great for a quick bite, no wait. read more

I had really high hopes for this place because I love myself a good dim sum and they have such a wide variety, but honestly it wasn't up to par. I don't know if it was because I went towards their last hour of closing or what, but I got the shrimp and chive dumpling and the minute I bit into it, it was just soggy. The flavor was not bad, but also not great, I just wish that with it being pan fried it would have had a crispy exterior. The eggs rolls on the other hand had a pretty good flavor and were actually crispy. I have mixed feelings with this place, I may have to go back maybe during peak hours and give it another shot. read more

The dim sum was adequate.. decent. Solid. But hoping I never get the flu? Ever? But if I do? I want the wonton soup. No noodle. Just a 1000° steaming hot bowl of the broth and wontons and bean sprouts. I will add the chili crisp and Sriracha myself. I felt great before I ate it but now I somehow feel BETTER? cured? Of whatever else I didn't know was bothering me. I don't know if it's always this good? But tonight? Amazing. read more

Don't order for pickup here. My estimated ready time was between 10:06 -10:26 am. I came by at 10:30, still ended up waiting almost 30 minutes before my order was even ready. I could've just showed up and waited in line and gotten my order by just waiting 10 minutes in line. They don't seem to prioritize online orders . I have a lot of patience it seems. read more

Very good siu mai, but at $5.55 for an order of 3 is getting pretty expensive. You can also buy the frozen pre-made siu mai at $19.60 per bag of 12 and make them at home. I like to go with the frozen ones since it's slightly cheaper with the same quality. Brings the cost down to $4.90 per order of 3. This is one of the only places I could find that is like your classic to-go spot, similar to what I was used to in SF. Flavor is great, big chunks of plump shrimp, and the quality is hard to beat. read more

4.2 stars! Truly still one of the best fast food dimsum spots. They have such an extensive menu. Their siumai is to die for: chunky pork and shrimp pieces with perfect amount of seasoning! And i also loved their juicy spinach and shrimp hargow. And definitely order their wonton soup that was soo huge! One portion came with almost a dozen wontons! read more

I have visited twice and can say I am a fan. I like that you order per piece so if you're dining solo or don't want to be stuck with 3 pieces in a typical dim sum order. This place is for you! I'm a little picky about siu mai and the ones here are done well. The har gow (shrimp dumpling) skin is a little thick but still enjoyable. Can't go wrong with any of the baked or fried goods and when in doubt, just get one to try. I will point out I enjoyed the baked snowcapped taro bun and the munch and crunch barbecue pork bun - it's a pineapple bun with bbq pork filling. There's no indoor seating so you have to take it to go . Be sure to get hot soy sauce, soy sauce, and sweet-and-sour sauce. I thought the sweet-and-sour sauce was a little different because I haven't seen that at dim sum places, but it actually works well with some of the items. This is definitely one of the better dim sum places for take out that I've tried. read more
