For under $20 you can get the King Feast - and honestly I split it into two meals. Amazing value for dim sum. Great service every time. I just wish they had more chow fun, it's so good that they always run out by 12ish read more

Very good spot for To-Go Dim Sum, it's pick up only. The prices are average but the flavor and quality is great. Everything is delicious and pretty authentic. I recommend going earlier in the day since they tend to run out of most items by lunch time. The service is fast but they don't explain how to order, making it a bit confusing. read more

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

Not bad. It's nice if you want a quick snack to tide you over between meals. There isn't really a place to sit in here so you should do to go or eat in your car. I tried a few things here and thought they were pretty decent. The pork spareribs in black bean sauce was good. Not too many bones. I also got crab Rangoon and thought it was yummy and very crispy. The BBQ pork buns weren't bad although a tiny bit dry on the bottom. Most of the dim sum items here are ~ $4.35 or so. 5% discount if you pay in cash. read more

Dim sum is decent but not great. The pork shu mai was really large pieces but not very flavorful. The crispy shrimp rolls were the highlight as crunchy on the outside and packed with shrimp on the inside. The shrimp and chive dumplings were good but not great. I made the mistake of ordering chow fun which was flavorless. Also ordered the sesame chicken. Which was also just okay. The service was outstanding though and it looked very clean. Overall mediocre for the dishes that I ordered. read more

Came here during lunar new year eve while in search of a new dim sum place, and it was busy! The line was long but moved fast. They not only have dim sum items; they also serve meals and have party tray options. They were mostly sold out of baked goods (particularly the ones I had wanted to try), but did have steamed goods still available. I ended up purchasing some steamed BBQ pork buns. The buns had a good meat-to-bun ratio. The meat filling didn't have filler ingredients (ie. onion), which I appreciated. They accept credit card and offer a 5% discount if you pay cash. Parking is plentiful and shared with other stores in the plaza. read more

Wish I could give this local establishment a higher rating, but unfortunately there were a lot of items that were just not very good. Their combos are a nice deal if you want to save a little money on several items. Good: -Chive and shrimp dumpling (pan fried): well seasoned, but very thick wrapper -Fried shrimp ball: no complaints here! -Sweet and sour sauce: not sure if they make it in-house but it's kinda smokey and compliments the shrimp ball -Frozen chicken bao: I've always liked their chicken bao, glad recipe hasn't changed over the years. Flavor is great and it's not all cabbage filler Decent: -Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf: rice is lightly seasoned, filling is pork and 1 slice of Chinese sausage -Pork siumai -Taro fuzzy ball (fried): nice and crispy with a lot of taro filling Needs work: -Chow fun: bland even though it looked flavorful with the dark soy sauce lathered on all the noodle strands -Shrimp hargow (steamed): wrapper too thick and the filling was almost sour?! -Taro snow bun: filling is great and not too sweet, but the bao has a distinctive yeast taste read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I think the quality of the dimsum is 4 stars but considering it's just some random cheap eats spot in a strip mall Dim Sum King deserves 5 stars. Other folks seem to think so too -- during lunch on a weekday there were tons of to-go orders waiting to be picked up and a handful of people in line. We got shumai, sticky rice, shrimp and chive panfried dumplings, custard buns, bbq pork buns, spare ribs, and green beans. The ratio of filling to noodle/breading/rice was on point and everything was tasty. The shumai, sticky rice, and buns were probably my favorites. We stuck to the non-fried stuff because they looked a little oily (as does a lot of fried stuff at to-go type dimsum spots) but all the steamed, panfried, and bun items were totally worth having again. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was a long line out the door. Only 4 people are allowed in at once and everyone seems to be following social distance guideline pretty well. I'd recommend ordering on doordash beforehand to avoid the lines! I got the usual har gow and sui mai along with the sticky rice in lotus. They were all pretty good (obviously not comparable to sit down dim sum restaurants nearby but its good for what it is). read more

This place is pretty decent for hargow. I love to go dim sum places just because I really only like shrimp dumplings for dim sum. The price is fair and the shrimp is scrumptious. Plump, juicy, couldn't ask for more. The wrapper isn't a chewy as the versions at shit down places but I think the filling is better. read more

Dim Sum King - 3 orders of shrimp dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I used to go here a lot when I lived in Sunnyvale. I moved away over two years and have not been there again until yesterday. My daughter wanted to eat there for her birthday lunch. I brought her presents in expecting to grab a table only to find they had removed the tables and chairs. So we had to order our food to go and find a local park to eat at and open presents. A little bummed, but at least it was a nice day. They have a good variety of steamed and fried food and they are always very nice and it's pretty fast getting your food even with a line, but the dumplings are okay. You can tell they are frozen and steamed vs the dough being made fresh. It's good for fast food dim sum though. read more

I really like this place! After one year in Durham, this place is like heaven!!! We have already been here two times so far in the week we've moved to California. Each time, barely any wait, which is a plus. $3.45 for most items (comes in sets of 3 items). We keep ordering too much, which I guess is fine, since the leftovers also taste just as yummy. What we have tried so far: har gow (yum, this is one of my favorites here, the wrapper is thin, and not sticky or clumpy, the shrimp is fresh and plump), the siu mai (HUGE! with ample pork/shrimp filling, juicy as well, also one of my favorites here), pork dumplings (hubby's favorite item here), chicken dumplings (they were ok, not bad, would have tasted better with vinegar, but they didn't have any vinegar the second time we went), bbq pork buns, the crunch n munch (pineapple bun with bbq pork filling; usually not a fan of bbq pork to this extent, but wow, the bbq pork here is so good!), egg tart, custard bun steamed (wish it was more runny!), pork and cabbage steamed bun, glutinous rice ball with pork filling, egg roll (tastes so good with vinegar), fried siu mai (prefer the original over this), chive and shrimp dumpling. From Yelp reviews, people say this is just average dim sum, but having been deprived of dimsum in my one year down in the South, this is AMAZING. Can't wait to see what the rest of the Bay area can offer. read more

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

So, first off - you are in Sunnyvale, which is not known as a hot bed of fabulous dim sum. So, I recommend you walk into this place with reasonable expectations. The food is kind of meh. . . I mean, there's better dim sum out there, for sure, but you need to drive to Milpitas or to SF to get the literal real deal. I ordered a few steamed pork buns, which were better than Ranch 99, but definitely not worth what I paid ($2 each). The har gao and siu mai are pretty decent. But honestly, if you're in Sunnyvale at this price point you should be eating Indian food. Or at one of the amazing taco trucks. Save your dim sum hankerings for another zip code. read more

First time at Dim Sum King on a Saturday and there was no line, but a few patrons inside. I'd say it's your average dim sum place, probably gets a lot of business because it's the only place to get dim sum in the area, without paying too much. My mom said that the prices were pretty expensive here compared to what you would get if ordering at a dim sum restaurant, probably true. They have a vast selection to choose from and they tasted pretty decent, nothing special forsure though. The customer service was fine, although the people working there were not Chinese, that's the funny and interesting part. They accept credit cards, although if you pay by cash, you get a 5% discount. If you spend $100 or more, or are a veteran, you get 10% off your purchase. Not worth a special trip, unless you are in the area or neighborhood. read more

A hidden gem in the corner of the main street. It's all the way in the corner of a not-so-busy plaza so people who come here are regular customers. I stayed at a hotel nearby and loved going to this little shop to get my dim sum fix, even packed some for my friends and they loved it. read more

Dim Sum King is a real homey dim sum shop nestled in a strip mall in Sunnyvale close to Popeyes and across from the ever so popular Moon Tea. I've been there more than a couple of times for myself, but this time around, I needed to get food for the office for Galentine's/Lunar New Year. I emailed them originally to ask a question about an existing LNY order I had made and Jason responded back to me within the hour. Lo and behold, in the next couple of days, I had to put in a much bigger order than my original one. Jason was real patient with me and was with me every step of the way to help me place the large order. The Monday that I requested for pick up seemed super busy but Jason was able to make it work so I was able to pick up by 11:30 am. (FYI, if you do a pickup on party trays, there's a 10% discount!) They'll have you bring your car around to the front of the store and they'll help you place the items into your car. Some of the call out dishes I got for the office were the following: * Veggie Chow Mein - absolutely phenomenal, possibly one of the better chow meins I've had in the area * Braised Tofu in Garlic Sauce - this was a hit at the office - everyone loved it * Mapo Tofu - Had just the right amount of spice and I liked the depth in flavour it has * Turnip Cake - Not all are turnipy, this was perfectly turnipy * Orange Chicken - This was a party tray that got devoured. They put orange pieces with the fried chicken and separate the orange sauce so things don't get soggy by the time you feed the masses. 10/10 packaging on this one. Had to bring this from Sunnyvale to Burlingame and it still was mostly crispy/hot All in all, it was a very successful lunch in the office and the team loved it. Definitely ordering from them again should I need to cater for the office. read more

Solid place for fast food dim sum around here! The steamed items are well made and the skins aren't too gummy. Har gow - contains legit shrimp and the wrappers are nice and chewy Shu Mai - well seasoned and delicious! Steamed white bbq buns - really good ratio of filling to carbs. Fried Shu mai - constant favorite The menu advertises at 3 for 4.35 but in reality you can order in any number and they're sold by the piece. read more

Dim sum prices keep on increasing - almost $2 per little dumpling? Expensive for a takeout! Taste is fine (hence 3 stars), but doubtful they use quality ingredients. read more

I forgot to take a picture of the 3 items I bought but pretty much similar feedback from everyone: - Basic dim sum, very reasonable prices - Wu Kok was bland and no flavor - Radish cash was so so Will probably not come back unless everything else is closed. read more

This is a to-go dim sum place. The dim sum here rivals that of a restaurant. They have very good selection and it is freshly baked/steamed. The quality is there and the taste is top par. My favorite is the har gow. The flour shell is perfect balance with the amount of meat inside. It's a perfect blend. Not too thick like some places. The place looks very clean and sanitary. read more

We were craving some dumplings (no surprise) so we were Yelping for a spot and decided to try Dim Sum King. Again no surprise, we have been here before but don't recall our experience. There was a line which is always a good sign, but the line goes pretty fast. This place reminds me of New Hwong Kok in Milpitas which has a bunch of dim sum as well as some steamer dishes all ready to go. The dim sum wasn't memorable nor were they exceptional but they are passable which is better than stomach turning. So if we're ever in the area and craving some dim sum without the long wait or table service, then we'd likely stop by, but we wouldn't go out of our way to drive here when we have New Hwong Kok nearby. read more

They get confused if you order more then 3 dishes. When I ordered the lady kept leaving things out and when I kept confirming she kept saying either I didn't order it or it was in the bag. When I got home she left 3 buns out even though I saw her grab it and I pointed at it while she was grabbing it. Also the guy at the register made me order another plate of footballs saying I only ordered 1 piece but in reality it was another order he was making me order. So I ordered an extra football dish I didn't want and am missing a few buns so total I lost $21. Also, I ordered chicken feet and she repeated it back to me but she never charge me and put it in my bag and when I reconfirmed while waiting she said I never ordered it. This place is only good if you're getting one or two dishes otherwise they get too confused and mess up your order. read more

This place was right next to our favorite bar. It's located in the same shopping center as the Blue Max bar. Me and my husband were hungry as it was lunch time on a Monday and we decided to try this place out. Overall I will say it was OK. The food was good don't get me wrong but I would honestly rather go with Panda Express. The combo plates are so big me and my husband could of shared one. I honestly only liked the dumplings but if I ever need a quick meal I would go back every once in a blue moon. read more

Have only been in town three days but been here each day. Service is fast, things look very clean. Haven't tried the bowls or plates but the dim sum is so tasty and you can tell what's good because it all gets sold out if you don't get there early enough. Going to miss coming here. read more

Disappointing experience. Have been coming here for a while, usually expect mediocre food but it satisfied the craving without going to a sit down place. Arrived home and noticed that our order was shorted and the bbq pork steamed buns was dried out and almost crispy rather than soft and tender. Called and left a voicemail regarding the missing items and unfresh food. NO return call at all. Sucks to suck read more

This definitely satisfied my dim sum craving without the cart and restaurant wait. I ordered ~8 different items and they packed everything (nice job on thoroughness). I tried some bites without soy sauce and it was well sated, but not overly salted. Still had to breakout the soy sauce and chili oil for the complete package and it was delightful :) I don't think they had indoor seating but theres a table right outside you can eat at! A nice shop to run in and grab food before your next destination. read more

I've been going to this place a couple times a month for lunch the past year. The food is very consistent. And I'm able to get in and out of this place and back to work and my food is always still warm and tasty. The Siu Mai, shrimp dumplings, and shrimp pockets are my favorite. read more

For those gourmet dim sum patrons insisting on ambience, tea service and high price of fancy dimsum joints, do not go here. Just a clean, chinese fast food place in a strip mall selling dim sum and other chinese entrees. If that's out of the way, it is 5 stars for us not insisting on the above. Most reasonable, reasonably tasty, cordial service and great value! I suspect the dim sum are machine made. There is no way they can make thousands of these by nad each night and be ready in the morning. I went there at 9 when it opened. Har Gow and Siu Mai skins are a bit thick, so what?! Best value! read more

It's been more than 10 years since my first review - we still frequent this place often...it is now the only place where my husband will recognize as THE egg tart place (since Golden Gate Bakery is no more)...my kids absolutely love them too! We seriously have been here right after the lunch rush and have them tell us that they're "sold out" of the egg tart...(how can this be when you've only been open for less than 4 hours?!)... The food is great whether you go the dim sum or regular lunch and the price is reasonable. They continue to do the "buy 6 get 1 free" deal for many of the dessert/bakery items so that's always a plus. I hope they stick around forever! read more

Driving through the South Bay and needed to grab something quickly. Pretty affordable dim sum take out. We got the bbq pork buns, steamed bean curd, ha gow, shiu mai, and fried shrimp balls. All of them tasted just like an authentic dim sum restaurant. My brother's favorite was the ha gow. My favorite was the steamed bean curd. I really liked their bbq pork buns because the meat wasn't fatty Ike some other pork buns I've experienced. They even had the Chinese take out entrees aside from the dim sum. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick grab to go! read more

Awesome service, great food, reasonable prices. Try the sesame chicken and any of the shrimp dim sum!

I give five stars to places I am a regular at, and Dim Sum King definitely hits the spot every time whenever we are in the mood for dim sum but not in the mood for getting up early or waiting in line for a table. I also love catering by them. It's yummy and inexpensive. My guests are happy every time! Recently, I ordered enough food for a teacher and staff appreciation event, and everything was perfection. The teachers and staff told me they loved their meal. read more

Lady swiped our card and did not give us anything to sign. We asked for a receipt and that's when we realized that she selected the tip herself and chose 20%. I was going to choose the tip myself as is what should have happened... I cannot believe that the workers here just click their own tip and scam customers. This is not the automatic gratuity some places have either because they did not list this anywhere and we only had 2 people. Ordered like 5 dishes just for them to add their own 20% tip. Wouldn't even give us any sauces - had to separately ask for each sauce. Place is dirty and the service is very bad - every time we needed service, they saw us and looked away. read more

Craving dim sum but don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of a weekend crowd or having to wave down dim sum carts who seem to keep avoiding coming to your table? Then Dim Sum King is the spot to go! I've had togo dim sum from multiple places such as New Hwong Kok, Li Yuan and HK Dim Sum..and honestly, all are pretty terrible. So I'm willing to make the drive to Sunnyvale to get some decent togo dim sum. Dim Sum King is located in a plaza alongside Adamson's French Dip and Men's Wearhouse. We've only come on weekends and never had trouble finding parking in their spacious lot. Their dim sum seems to be a hit or miss though.. What we've tried so far.. SIU MAI $3.45/3 pieces -pretty good, meaty. Love it when it's fatty. They seem to get smaller as the years pass. HAR GOW $3.45/3 pieces -sometimes the skin of the har gow is perfectly steamed and has a nice chew to it. Other times, it's mushy. STICKY RICE WRAPPED LOTUS LEAF $3.45/3 pieces -the sticky rice with meat is a little on the smaller side but it's pretty yummy nonetheless. I actually like it small so I don't eat too much of it, since it's filling. PORK SPARE RIBS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE $3.45/1 dish -basic, good when you crave it, but nothing too memorable. CHICKEN FEET WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE $3.45/1 dish -sometimes it's cooked very well with gelatinous skin that's falling off the bone...sometimes it's chewy/hard. The black bean sauce is good though. BBQ PORK BUNS $3.45/3 pieces -the bao part is way to dense and slightly dry. Pass. TURNIP CAKE $3.45/3 pieces -pan fried, not greasy and flavorful..good turnip to cake ratio. SHRIMP & CHIVE DUMPLING $3.45/3 pieces -pan fried skin is too thick. Filling isn't that good. Pass. CHICKEN POTSTICKER $3.45/3 pieces -pan fried. It has strong ginger flavor to it, not a fan. Pass. SHRIMP WRAPPED BEANCURD SKIN $3.45/3 pieces -the beancurd skin wasn't crispy, it was more chewy and the shrimp didn't have much flavor to it. Pass. MUNCH N CRUNCH BBQ PORK BUN $1.75 each -like a pineapple bun with its crumbly baked topping with a bbq pork bun filling. Pretty good! CRISPY SHRIMP POCKET $1.15 each -my favorite! Basically the har gow filling, double wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep fried. YUM! So crunchy! 2 orders please. FRIED SIU MAI $1.15 each -my 2nd favorite! It's basically siu mai filling with a crispy wonton shell. Delish! 2 orders please. CRAB RANGOON $1.50 each -I love any crab rangoon so this is always good to me! Crunchy around the edges with a creamy center. 2 orders please. TARO FUZZBALL $1.50 each -very good! Not super greasy but they don't hold up the crispness when we get home. CRAAAZY SHRIMP BALLS $1.15 each -not crunchy at all. It doesn't have the distinct crispy strips dangling off of the shrimp ball. So sad and naked looking. Pass. PORRIDGE $3.45 (S) -always piping hot. Sometimes it's super flavorful with a good amount of thousand year old egg and pieces of meat, other times it's super bland and has barely anything in it.. Makes me wonder if I ordered just rice porridge. They also serve chinese take-out. Option of dine-in with limited tables but I see that people mostly get togo. They also offer party trays and catering. Most of the staff there have a really good memory! Every time we order a few items, they'd ask, "ok, anything else?" We can't even keep up since we're trying to decide what to order. Hah. I guess they want to know the full order so they can arrange all the dim sum in the appropriate boxes, steamed with steamed, fried with fried..etc.. So here's what I do now..check out their menu on their website, type them down on my phone and I'm ready to order off my list once I get there! Unless you like to check out what they have in person and scope their wall menu..but be prepared to feel rushed on a busy day. Once you hit the cashier, don't forget to ask for more soy vinegar/chili oil packets + sweet & sour sauce! Sometimes you'll get a generous person and they'll ask how many you want..other times you'll get someone who just grabs the top layer of sauce packets and you get only 2 measly packets.. which is pretty annoying when we usually spend over $45 on dim sum and make the trek over there, only to come home to two packets of sauce and barely any sweet & sour sauce. At least they have a self serve sauce area for dine-in where I can grab more sweet & sour sauce togo. Check for utensils too, because we came home with no utensils once too and that made it even more annoying. Ugh Overall I think the dim sum was pretty good for a togo spot. Quality has gone down since our first few visits, in our opinion. But it's great that they take debit/credit card with a minimum of $8. All the San Jose togo dim sum spots we've been to are cash only. read more
