It bothers me that I like this place so much. Mainly because the cost of dim sum at some restaurants is ridiculous. The fact that Hang Ah charges $8.45 for an order of har gaw or shu mai today when just a few years ago this dish was half the price at most dim sum spots puts a money chill in my very bones. But the fact is that their flavors are on point brings me back in the future. I had one of the best turnip cake dim sum I have ever tasted. Crispy fried with some great flavor through and through. I would order this dish every time I visit in the future. But I would also request that they sear it on both sides for optimum tastiness. The har gaw and fried squid were also full of flavor. I do think that in the future I would request the squid extra crispy as it was a bit undercooked and limp when it should be crispy af. :-) The spot is typical of Chinese restaurants in terms of ambiance and service. All in line with my expectation. My only complaint is paying near $50 for 2 orders of dim sum and one entree. I hate 2026 prices. read more

Though Hang-Ah Dim Sum doesn't have your traditional dim-sum cart type service, their food is exceptional and definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. The outside looks unassuming, but the inside is very clean and neat. Not too packed at noon on a Monday. Pros: - Favorite items: Chicken Claws, Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice, and baked bbq buns - The meat on the Chicken Claws was tender and easy to get off the bones. The claws were soaked in a sauce that was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. - Though the baked bbq buns could've used more filling, the bun itself was soft, fluffy, and warm, covered in a thin layer of sticky-sweet glaze that paired well with the sweetness of the chashu pork filling. Cons: - Shanghai Soup Dumplings are a skip. They seemed over-steamed, as the skin was sticking to the bottom of the dish and to other dumplings, causing them to rip easily and lose all their broth when you tried to pick them up. - Items like the sesame balls, the steamed egg custard buns, and the baked bbq buns could definitely use a lot more filling. read more

Came back again for lunch and enjoyed it much more than the last time! Food was tastier, service still aloof, but what do you want? The food! It's good! read more

I've been coming to this dim sum spot since I was young and it is a great go to! Their service is always very quick and the inside is very spacious and clean. I always get the fried rice, shu mai, har gow, pork buns, pea shoots (seasonal) and chow fun. read more

Had an amazing dim sum meal here today. I asked beforehand if the pea shoots were any good...and they said it was, so ordered it (recommend asking before ordering as this can be seasonal) with other tasty treats. The food came out quickly and delicious. The chive, shrimp dumplings were the star as they were packed with great flavors. The turnip cake, bean curd rolls, beef chow fun were yummy. The eggplant stuffed with shrimp was only so so. And we were too full to try the ha gow so ended up with a great other meal to take home. read more

Hang Ah Dim Sum - Shu Mai - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

To preface this, I took these pics after I started eating (lol) but I would say this place is pretty good. Over priced, absolutely because I suppose there isn't another dim sum place within 20 miles. Still we managed to escape with around 25$ per person and we were content with the amount of food. ( around 9$ per plate) We ordered the duck, Chinese donut in noodle roll (never seen before) shrimp noodle rolls, the dim sum chow fun and some shrimp chive pan fried balls. Expect to wait on weekends to be seated. Decent quality, but if you want cheap and good food just drive south into the city. this review is for their dim sum offerings only, if I went back I would try their lunch specials which seemed to be a good deal for a lot of takeout style food. read more

Now that I have been living in Santa Rosa for 2 years, I feel the need to update this review. First off, as of the writing of this review, Hang Ah is still the ONLY dim sum restaurant in all of North Bay. That includes Marin, Santa Rosa, Sonoma etc. And I still stand by what I said previously, it is quite decent. Is it the best dim sum in the world? No, for sure not. But, the fact that there is ONE and it is passably good, is amazing! Especially for those of us who are Chinese (and even more specifically, Cantonese) or asian living in the area. So I will say once again: if you are from San Francisco and you're passing by wine tasting, just be aware that it's not like the best in the world. If you've had all star dim sum, this isn't that, but it's SOMETHING. And for us living out here, it is amazing. I wanted to update my review because previously, I hadn't come for dinner. And for this gal, who was born in Hong Kong, having a place to have legit, real, cantonese style dishes brings so me so much gratitude. I've always had a complicated relationship with my Hong Kong heritage, but as I age, and heal, I've become more nostalgic and longing for that home taste. And so, to have a place that serves that in the town we've decided to settle in -- I just thank the heavens, because, it's not a given! Just to be clear, most Chinese American food is not what I grew up eating. Some of it is real Chinese food and some of it is not. And some of it is from other regions of China adapted to be Chinese American. Cantonese cuisine originates in Hong Kong and southern china. It's where dim sum comes from, but dinner has its own unique flavors too. Highlights: -Stir-fried Yi Mein - I get a slight cred nod by the staff when I order this, because no one else knows what the heck this is unless you're in-the-know. It's really quite a simple dish (if you get the plain). Yi mein is a kind of fluffy-ish noodle. Fluffier than your standard egg noodle, thinner than udon. It's stir-fried simply with some green onions, shitake mushrooms, and sprouts. It's stir fried with a light sauce, but not covered. It's strangely addictive. Until I had it here, I hadn't had yi mein in probably 10 years. It totally transported me. This is like deep menu stuff. Give it a try! -Soy-sauce stir-fried egg noodles - You can get this at lunch as well because it's on the dim sum menu. I have a specific memory of eating this in HK when I was very young. When you go to the beach, there are street vendors carrying bamboo buckets of this, and you can get some in a newspaper. This dish is simple like the yi mein. Stir-fried with sprouts and green onions and soy sauce. (Doesn't come in newspaper here) But just as delicious and addictive. -Eggplant and chicken with salted fish claypot - Warning: salted fish is not for everyone. Salted fish is a dried cured fish, that is then cut into little pieces and thrown into certain dishes like this one. It gives it an incredible umami taste that is quite fishy, but again, not for everyone. For example, my husband likes it, but my ex did not. (Both white and adventurous eaters). So try it at your own peril. This dish is not easily found, so I can't help it. They also have the cantonese classic, chicken and salted fish fried rice. Haven't had their version yet, but I'm sure I will crave it at some point and must get it. -House claypot - Seafood + cha siu + fried tofu. Incredible. The fried tofu was the star, it's exactly how you want it to taste. Soft on the inside, and the outside absorbs all the sauce. (Can't wait to try their eggplant + tofu claypot!) ....And the seafood is done perfectly. Squid is not overly chewy, etc. The only thing is I wish there was more sauce, much of the liquid thickened up in the hot claypot. It was a shrimp paste umami bomb of the first order. Just saying. Other notables: stir-fried peashoots, roasted duck (superb!), turnip cake is simple but addictive, rice-noodle wrapped donut (not what it's called on the menu, it's on the dim sum menu) It's honestly hard for me to not get what was mentioned above, so I haven't made it that far in the menu because I come back and just crave what I named. But definitely, I'm sure there's more great stuff that is authentically cantonese. And therefore, I had to update the review to 5 stars. Lastly, and this is really something important: They have good service. The staff is NICE. Which is different. Because honestly, HK people aren't known for being nice. In fact, most cantonese restaurants have lowered ratings because of service. Lots of complaints of "they totally ignored me" or "they were rude" even though the food is good. Everyone here has been NICE. And that counts for extra, when it comes to this cuisine. :D Thank you for listening. read more

I stopped by to pick up food for dinner. The staff was helpful and made recommendations. Inside is clean and nice. The food was delicious and authentic and you get a great amount of food for the price. They also have dim sum which we will try next time. read more

Time for some dim sum! When we arrived on this Thursday afternoon, the restaurant was pretty full. There was a large group of 11 sitting in the middle and other diners throughout the dining room but everything was handled promptly and efficiently like usual. We ordered: Shu mai Pork ribs in black bean sauce Har gow (shrimp dumplings) Shrimp stuffed eggplant Pea shoots (off regular menu) Hong Kong style chow mein with chicken (thin crispy noodles) Egg custard buns Everything came out steaming hot and it was hard to say which dish was our favorite because everything tasted so good. We have leftovers for tomorrow too! The new item we tried was the egg custard buns. They were light and springy and had a very delicate filling. We enjoyed them and would order again. We have been coming here for several years and the hard-working staff has not changed. Parking can be tight at times but they do have their own parking lot. read more

Excellent food and a low key environment where they don't rush you. Dim Sum dishes are all very fresh and full of flavor. Nothing fancy here. You come here for the really great food! Best Dim Sum north of San Francisco. read more

We ordered take out on Saturday night from here, I was impressed by some of the food. The quality was good but still greasy. We enjoyed the 3 out of 6 dishes and everything was correct when we got home. Portion sizes were decent but would be bigger if we ate there. 3 dishes fell hard: The broccoli beef was way too soft & slimy they over cooked it. The crab puff rangoon was bad, not enough filling and the wrong shape, bland flavor with no taste of crab or cream cheese it was not seasoned. Walnut prawns were not fried and the sauce was just thick and not properly done, it tasted too much like mayo it was underwhelming for being the most expensive item. They are good but can improve, overall decent food. Cannot speak to service or ambiance. I would return to try other items. read more

It's good and reliable. Food comes out fast and always tastes fresh. I really enjoy their turnip cakes and dumplings. Not quite as good as some places in San Francisco or Sacramento, but decent and the only option I know of in Sonoma County! Very friendly and helpful service. Ambience is ok, neither great nor bad. Tables are always clean. read more

If you can get past the "gritty" interior and a floor that's seen better decades, you're in for a legitimate feast. This is a classic Santa Rosa trade-off: lackluster decor for high-tier dim sum. The Highlights: * The Dumplings: Both the pork and soup dumplings are stellar. The XLB actually holds its broth--a rare win. * The Staples: The hot and sour soup has a proper bite, the pot stickers are perfectly crisped, and the BBQ pork is dangerously glazed. * The Logistics: Ample parking (a luxury) and a genuinely pleasant staff that makes the rough edges easier to swallow. The Verdict: I'll be back read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. It is not salty and portions are pretty great for the price. I got some amazing steamed broccoli, shrimp, and chow mein. Everything was well executed and I definitely was a happy camper. I only ate half my meal so I was able to take the rest home and have it for lunch in the next day even reheated, the vegetables were still crisp and everything tasted amazing. The staff was really nice and attentive. I felt very welcome. I can't wait to go back. read more

This was a great find! Everything we ordered was fantastic. Shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken feet, rice rolls, turnip cake, crispy Hong Kong noodles, black bean spareribs, lotus leaf rice. Didn't think we'd find awesome dim sum in Santa Rosa! The owner said she had moved from SF Chinatown which explains the authentic dim sum faire. Prices were reasonable. It was relatively busy on a Sat afternoon. Service was great and fast. No carts, just order from checking the boxes on a sheet. read more

OK so I had never had dim sum before, but I knew I would love it. We were coming into town to visit the Charles Schultz museum, which is right down the street so this was the perfect lunch spot.. since I had never had dim sum before my sister did the ordering or and explained some of the offerings to me. Wow so delicious everything we ordered was outstanding. Chive shrimp dumplings were my favorite. We definitely will be stopping there again when we come to see the next exhibit at the museum outstanding. read more

The food is delicious and consistent. The servers are friendly and attentive. A nice place to go once in a while if you're looking for good dim sum and don't want to travel to San Francisco.

Very good all the way around. The service was excellent even though they were fully booked and had lots if take-out orders. We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon our arrival. The food was also delicious. We ordered, at our table for 6, several dim sum, shrimp with orange and candied walnuts, kung pao chicken , sizzling rice soup and the best eggplant in garlic sauce I have ever had. The location is convenient just off hiway 101 in Santa Rosa. The building appeared to be a nicely remodeled A&W - funky on the outside but comfortable on the inside. Parking is a little tight but okay. The dining area is very open and a little bit noisy because of this; but not overly so. I would definitely go again. read more

This is your average local Chinese restaurant with great food! Right off the freeway and easy access. Lots of parking and I was able to get food to go. I do think this place would have been better if I ate in. They do not really have a system for phone pickups. I went in and they don't have a counter, and no bag or sauces supplied to me when picking up. It is definitely more set up to come in and dine in. The food was average and tasty. Though meat tasted a little fishy. I would come back here and try something else as it was not bad at all. I got the lunch special with Mongolian beef and I was a little disappointed on the sizing, especially if I was paying $16 for this. Went mid day on a Saturday and they were not too busy and took about 20 minutes for phone order to be ready. read more

Best dim sum in Sonoma County! They make you feel like you're part of the family, fast mostly friendly service. Great little spot

We love coming here for some delicious dim sum and Chinese food!!! Definitely my favorite spot for Chinese food! The food never disappoints and you always end up, leaving with an extra meal for later because they're their serving sizes are so large since it's family style. This time it wasn't too busy, but even when they are busy, the service is very friendly and quick. Growing up getting Chinese food with the family was always a special meal for me so I'm trying to keep the tradition going with my wife and our little one. read more

I first tried Hang Ah a couple of years ago and remember it being really good. I don't typically eat out much anymore as I'm rarely satisfied with the food quality, but I decided to order takeout from them again after a long time. Man, was I IMPRESSED !!!!The food was phenomenal!!!!!Everything was fresh, cooked to perfection, the flavors were amazing, and the portions were very generous. Their black bean sauce is wonderful! I highly recommend giving them a try. We went on a Sunday and there was a literal line out the door, immediately i imagined the food quality would suffer but I was wrong. This is by far my best meal this year. LOVED THE FOOD, AMAZING, DELICIOUS, LARGE PORTIONS. Thank you!! read more

Dim sum house- tastefully delicious. We loved the bbq pork bun as it's fluffy and packed with seasoned to the taste BBQ pork. The bun itself I would explain it as a senorita bread stuffed with meat! Those of you know what senorita bread is, knows how good and addicting those things can be! Now u can get it in a elevated experience! Everything else was great, all the servers were very attentive. Easy private parking lot. The establishment is a bit dated, but as long as the food is hitting. Well be coming bk for more. Thank you! read more

The five stars are for the food ONLY. The downside of today's goto visit whereby I spent nearly $50.00, was as follows. As I waited for my order, another man also waiting for a togo order at the large table in which I was seated, and who came in after me, was provided lavish service in the way of a pot of tea and cup by a server. I'm sitting there wondering why he was served a beverage while I was not. There was another lady at the next table also waiting for togo, who did not get a beverage. Why? Is it because neither of us ladies were Chinese, or that we were simply women, rendering us unimportant? Could it have been that this man at my table was Santa Rosa entitled, you know, a big fish in a little bowl, resulting in preferential treatment? By the way and as we waited, when I said something to the man at my table about it, he was overly apologetic to me in an effort to compensate for waiter rudeness, which didn't help. Whenever I've gotten food togo from Hang Ah, I always leave a tip. But not today. I've seen Asian people do this at a laundry, where some SR businessman was catered to, while I waited in line behind him. The clerk was all smiles to him; then, when it was my turn, she became her usual perfunctory self. I love Hang Ah cuisine, but should I go back, especially after this review? Something to consider. read more

Great family place for Dim Sum and Chinese food. They have a regular "Chinese restaurant" menu and a dim sum paper menu. We usually get some of both. Very nice family run.

Came here with a friend for dinner after work to try some dim sum. I didn't have any expectations going in, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. The restaurant was well-organized, and I liked the menu system where you circle the items you want. The food came out fairly quickly and was mediocre for dim sum. However, the service was not great. The staff seemed rushed and somewhat rude, pushing us to order quickly and bringing the bill before we were even finished eating. Overall, the food was just okay, but the experience felt a little rushed. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Sonoma County. The food is delicious, the service is attentive with out being intrusive and the ambiance is very relaxed and comfortable. Until I found this place we used to drive into San Francisco or Oakland to enjoy Dim Sum. So happy to have such an excellent restaurant so close. No bridges to cross, no looking for an hour to find parking. Hang Ah is just a quick trip into Santa Rosa and we pull into a free parking space right outside the entrance. read more

Santa Rosa standards: 5 stars SF bay area standards: 3.5 stars If this restaurant was in sf, it'd be a pretty decent Chinese place to eat, but since it's in Santa Rosa, where good Chinese food is hard to get, it's pretty freakn good. The best way to test how good a Chinese restaurant is to order off the menu and that's what we did with a wet stir fry beef with flat noodle. It was full of the right sauce - thick and oyster flavored. The noodles tasted fresh and cooked just right. Was also craving dim sum so we got fried daikon, crispy and soft inside; fried to perfection. Also got flat noodles with Chinese donut inside, a dish that's hard to find even in sf restaurants; it satisfied the craving. Fast service and clean. I'd definitely come back to this restaurant when I'm deep in Marin/Sonoma County. read more

The first time we went to Hang Ah we liked the food and the service was decent. The second time the food was still good (not great) and the service was bad. First they forgot to bring us the rice we ordered and when I alerted the waiter, he said it was on it's way. Never arrived and when I told them we never got it, there was no apology. They just took it off the bill. I almost stiffed them on the tip, but couldn't quite bring myself to do it. The food is not bad at Hang Ah, however, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We'll never go back. read more
