I've been coming to King's Palace in Sacramento for over a decade, so the food being good wasn't a surprise. The interior is as massive as ever and the dim sum carts are still rolling.What made this visit stand out was the service. The aunts and uncles working today were incredibly warm and welcoming. A few of them went out of their way to compliment our young daughters and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of the entire time. That level of friendliness wasn't always the case in the past, so this felt like a really pleasant and noticeable change. The food remains consistently solid and deeply nostalgic. Every bite brings back memories of younger days, and now it's special in a different way because we get to experience it again with our daughters. It feels like passing a small piece of the past on to the next generation. During our visit we experienced great food, genuine service, and a lot of nostalgia packed into one meal. read more

UPDATE 4/6/2026 Prices are more transparent now than previously in the past. Menu items are more consistent now where as in the past the portion size would vary based off of your party size as I noticed before when ordering entree items. One time we had a party of two and ordered a dish and was smaller than when visiting with a party of 4. Same price you're paying you should get the same size portion regardless. Kings has made improvements over the years. The food is still great and worth going to! read more

Solid dim sum restaurant in Sacramento. We went here as a family for a Friday lunch and it was not busy, even though it was a holiday. We were sat immediately and served tea. The biggest appeal of this place is that it is a push cart style dim sum restaurant, where you order dishes from several carts. You don't really see this in a lot of places anymore. We got the typical har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, etc which were good, a bit on the smaller size but also cheaper than other dim sum places around. They carry some unique dishes like shark fin dumpling and rice noodle with fried dough with shrimp stuffed inside, which were delicious. Service in the eyes of westerners can be considered bad, but it is the authentic Cantonese bluntness. All the requests are fulfilled quickly upon request, so there's nothing wrong with service aside from mannerisms not as commonly perceived as good in the US. read more

We decided to try this place, we were the only ones there. It was quiet but nice a little hot inside but the staff was very friendly. We ordered the fried lobster which was delicious especially with the onions and peppers. But my favorite was the garlic green beans so good cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. We also got the salt and pepper chicken wings they were good but I would have loved a little more seasoning even a little more onions with them. The seafood fried rice was good as well the only thing I did not care for were the fried oysters, the flavor was just not there for me. We also got the fried shrimp. All the food was extremely hot and fresh which was a great plus the only thing is I wish it was brought out all together but still over all I'd recommend going if you want a quiet place with good food and great service check it out read more

Amazing food and amazing staff. I went here earlier this week to have some brunch with my family for the holidays. We ordered our usual dim sum order: chicken feet, tripe, har gow, sui mai, and the crispy shrimp balls. We also tried some different items we usualy don't get like the shrimp rolls with sweet dark sauce on top and the pineapple bun with the glutenous egg paste in the inside. Overall it was a good experience here today. The staff was nice and helpful. They bring carts with hot and ready dishes to you. There's also other things you can ask it they have and they would help you place an order for it. read more

This spot has been here for awhile and is exactly the same as the last time I have been here. We usually come here for family gatherings as this spot is a good size and never too busy. Since it's usually not to packed they only have a few dim sum carts but if you want something specific just ask the waiter. On the bright side, your food is usually hot as food on carts can get cold. This is the tricky part about ordering dim sum here. I usually try most items and order plates from the Chinese food menu. The food is comparable to any other Chinese food restaurant as the dim sum and traditional food are soild. Shu mai, fried shrimp balls, taro, chicken feet, chow fun or main, and my special go to item here is the cheong fun w fried shrimp. read more

I believe this is the only go-to place for Dim Sum in Sacramento. The place is large and the food was hot and fresh. What impressed me more was the service/servers. They were not pushy like other Dim Sum Places I ate in the Bay Area. Definitely will be my place for ALL Dim Sum. Be coming back soon. read more

Went here with family for dim sum. It's in a random strip mall. Parking is very compact. Even within the lines, I had to squeeze out of the car. Upon entering, it's definitely a venue-like space with a ton of family-style tables with a lazy Susan. We got seated fairly quickly towards the front corner of the restaurant. The dim sum carts came when we got seated and we ordered a few things. That's when it went downhill. The carts never frequented that corner of the restaurant again. Even the tables near us were looking around trying to get somebody's attention. One table even decided that they would just get the water pitcher and refill themselves. Lots of tables ended up leaving. We waited. And waited. And waited some more for the dim sum carts. They catered to the larger groups towards the back and middle of the restaurant. Makes sense, but could have been better service-wise on that end. The time one of the carts did come, it was practically empty. We ended up flagging someone down to just order and get it to us. That didn't even come and we double checked a couple times. I got full just waiting. We found someone to order some take-out. Even that took at least 20 minutes. And we waited in case the carts came around and we'd order a few other items. The hostess finally came to us and asked if we ordered to-go. She probably noticed what was going on and the seemingly bored and annoyed faces. She tried with some small-talk, but just the wait for any of the carts to frequent the front corner of the restaurant was tiring and hunger-inducing. read more

I LOVE the TASTY, FRESH, WELL PREPATED DISHES and proactive customer service. I can always count on how good the food is.

Flavors were good on most food items. Servers were very helpful and fast. Lastly, prices were very good.

Never failed to make our meal so good. One of our most go to place for real, authentic chinese dim sum. read more

Paula knows what she's doing. I crave this spot everyday and it is ALWAYS worth the drive. Everything is amazing

This place always serves the best dimsum. This is one of my favorite dimsum restaurants. There are others that are good in the area, but I feel this place offers authentic dishes and fresh HOT options. I've been to some dimsum restaurants that serve cold dimsum; or you order from a menu, which defeats the dimsum cart experience. They offer menu items as well as group pricing for their items. We ordered various dishes from the cart, and from the menu we had minced beef soup, salty fish fried rice, and crispy Df shrimp rolls . The service has improved so much over the years. The staff (although they don't speak much English) were very attentive and made sure we had hot tea and cleaned our empty trays allowing extra room on the table . I love this place and I hope you all do too! read more

King Palace Restaurant - Shu mai - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is our go to dim sum place, all the time. I have only been here for dim sum so I will only comment on the dimsum. It's never full when I go and it's a big restaurant so we're able to get a table fairly quickly. They still have the rolling carts but if you want a specialty item, you'd have to order. It seems like there's some secret menu that I didn't know about that my parents order that's really good such as the durian puffs and shrimp filled rice rolls. Its an older restaurant but the dimsum is legit, so i don'tmind. It is fairly inexpensive compared to the other dim sum places in sacramento. read more

I have been to this restaurant several times with friends. I am never disappointed. Excellent Dim Sum. Very fresh vegetables. It gets pretty loud and crowded which is a testament to the good fresh food. Staff are very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you want good Dim Sum. read more

TL DR: this place doesn't have the 5 star decor or the nicest bathrooms but it's one of the few places where you will find authentic Cantonese style dim sum in Sacramento. You will have rolling carts, people shouting in Cantonese, and an authentic experience. Food: My favorite thing about this restaurant is the fact that you can order traditional Cantonese style cuisines along with classic dim sum dishes. We normally order a stir fry greens (stir fry pea shoots with garlic), beef chow fun in their gravy sauce, and of course an assortment of dim sum staples. Elite tip for your first time trying dim sum: Har gap- shrimp dumpling Shu Mai - pork, shrimp, type dumpling Baos - assortment some are sweet like the pine apple bun (bolo bao) they have some with yellow custard and red bean paste. We like the ones with custard. Char siu bao - bbq pork buns come in two styles steam with a white soft bread or baked with a honey glazed style bun Dan tat- Egg tarts If you're feeling more adventurous or that you want to expand upon the basics: I. chicken feet (phoenix claws) texture isn't everyone's favorite thing as they gelatinous. You can eat the skin and tendons but spit out the bones II. Tripe (also a texture thing) a light salty ginger flavor profile with the way that it's cooked here III. Stuffed egg plants and bell peppers - assortment of meat with said vegetable IV. Deep fried taro puff with meat V. Bean curd roll There's plenty of other great items, it's really what you and your party prefer. Note dim sum isn't a non fat, keto friendly, gluten free type brunch. The meal will be greasy, salty, and what you expect from a traditional dim sum restaurant. Don't forget you have unlimited tea! Also most staff speak: Cantonese, Vietnamese, and mandarin. English may be a little limited, but the boss (who is a bad ass if you're watch the way she operates her restaurant) speaks english. I haven't seen anyone have issues ordering thing in English, you can also always point. I've been to other establishments and while their bathrooms are nicer/newer or they have more modern decor the flavor has remained the most authentic in Sacramento. You need to give this place a try if you're looking for dim sum! read more

King Palace Restaurant - Assorted Dim Sum - Seafood Near Me - Sacramento, California

I came to King Palace since my usual spot for dim sum was disappointing on my last visit. I was a little hesitant to come here because I only saw three stars, but then looked at the pictures and seemed pretty good. My family and I were super happy to find a new spot for dim sum that actually didn't skimp on the ingredients in the dishes. Our waiter was super sweet and very kind when we requested special dishes that we did not see on the cart. The only item that I didn't really care for was the char siu bao, since the filling seemed mushy to me; however, my sister and daughter enjoyed them. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the mood for dim sum. read more

We always end up dining here whenever the neighbor Chinese restaurant has a wedding event going on. Of course, for someone who was used to eating on the other one, you will definitely end up comparing dishes and how they cook and the flavors. At first, we didn't really like the dimsum here that much compared to the other one but I guess, our palates got used to eating here already. The dishes here were good though. We just prefer the dimsum on the other one. The service here was definitely way better than on the other one but the other one looks more clean since it was recently renovated. read more

We celebrated my niece and nephew's 6th grade promotion here. Their moms reserved six tables for a party of 60 (10 guests per table), and it worked out perfectly for our Saturday evening shenanigans. When you arrive, the restaurant almost looks closed because there are a bunch of boards and fencing at the entrance but don't be fooled -- it's a huge space past those double doors. It's safe to assume that this place is a local choice for Asian wedding receptions. Anyway, we found our seats and the food came out the kitchen like clockwork. See photos attached. Food was good and of an abundance -- we ended up packing much of it to take home. The servers brought our dishes out to each table really quickly, and all of the dishes were of the similar tastes of food from an Asian wedding reception. I especially enjoyed the soup at the front of the hour. There is something about fish and crabmeat soup that is so satisfying. We had a great time. I'm sure their dim sum service on weekend mornings are a splendid experience. read more

This is an old Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum on Stockton Blvd. We came in the Spring of 2021 and had lunch. Cool statue in the front. We waited shortly before being seated. This place used to be hopping in the past as evidenced by the huge dining room. Big tables and small. We were among maybe only 5 parties dining. We ordered favs, radish cake, chive dumplings, har gow and several others. I asked for a menu to order dishes (common for dim sum that are noodle, duck or other dishes larger than dim sum). I saw $7.50 for half a duck so I ordered that. Later on the bill I got charged regular price. Waiter makes excuse that those specials are not valid. Then why is it on the menu??? So blame it on the pandemic eh? So sick of this mfing shit. Cut out all deals, lazy to change prices on menus (had this many times- bill does not match menu prices), besides massive unwarranted price increases (more than wage hikes etc - seriously join the herd mentality- guy down the street jacks up prices so we will too). Smh! So our light order of maybe $40 ends up near $60 with tax and tip. If you post menu specials you should absolutely not be honoring it and not saying we don't have that anymore. Lost a customer before I could become one....grrrr. read more

It made me sad that they don't have higher ratings. Two of us went for dinner and did not order any dim sum. The food came out hot and fresh-- you can see steam in my picture! The Mongolian beef was very tender, but everything was good. For off-hours dim sum with no carts, they have a convenient picture album to help with ordering! Service was phenomenal: our waitress packed 6 dishes to-go for us, joked around a bit and made recommendations when ordering, said thank you many times throughout ordering and paying, and gave us free calendars on the way out. Inside looked like a typical Chinese restaurant with dragon decorations and red. Prices are reasonable. read more

Still one of our go-to places for dim sum after all these years. It's not as bustling as it used to be in its hey day, but the food is still solid. Service is nice and very efficient. Bao's are really good here, especially the pineapple topping. It's nice and crunchy and the center is pillowy. They let you mix and match different types of baos, which is great so you can try a variety. The tripe is really good, tasty flavor and nice texture, not overdone. Also got chicken feet and they have pork blood, which I usually like a little snappier. It was a little under seasoned too, but still good. Tried rice roll wrapped shrimp strip (don't know what to cell it in English). Was pretty tasty too. read more

Dim sum was delicious! We enjoyed the sesame balls, dim sum steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, shu mai, and shrimp dumplings! We went on a Saturday and there weren't that many people surprisingly but we enjoyed it. The staff were attentive, checked in with us if we needed anything. read more

There was a foreign object in the food. Some time ago, I saw a female employee dumping leftovers from other customers back into the food cart to resell to other guests. read more

It was just the two of us so we got seated within 10 min. I can see there's quite a few new employees there cuz all they do is stand around. When you raise your hand, they walk away as if you're gonna eat them alive. They don't have much on the carts and you have to get a waiter/waitress to put in orders for you. This is challenging cuz of the language barrier. The chicken feet had a weird taste and it was super soggy. It didn't seem fresh so I assume it's probably leftovers from the day before. I've seen them bring out chicken feet and other foods from the kitchen to customers they seem to know. When I come in with my family (once every 2 months), we also get the same treatment (they come every weekend). Food was almost (always) exceptional, but the pricing is my main concern. They don't give you a copy of the detailed receipt, but based on this stamp form, I was charged ~$112 excluding tip. I would have asked for a detailed receipt if I didn't have to step out to take a call. I just gave my card to my cousin to pay and didn't realize the total until after I got home. They crossed out the cost per small, medium, large order, so technically, they could have charged me any amount and probably by law, I'd still have to pay even if my bill came out to be $1000, am I right? I'm not directly saying that they randomly charge customers, but I heard similar restaurants have a habit of doing so, unless you're a regular customer or you know the boss. It's also not my first time here but they do have a history of not providing receipts. So will I come back? I'll come back if they finally decide to put up clear signs to how much per item costs. It's not the money, it's the principle. read more

Updating our review to 5 stars today because it was amazingly perfect. The servers and everyone was great! Our food brought out hot and fresh! Our hot tea and waters were topped off every so often, all our servers were friendly and nice! Our favorite is still the shu Mai and fried chicken! Tasty! The atmosphere is enormous, it's palace like beams holds up to their "King Palace" name. It's a great venue for weddings or special occasions. Decent pricing and lots of parking. It may be a little dated outside but it really still does hold it's value. read more

-parking is excellent -customer service is awesome. He said 20 minutes and just like that my Togo order was ready and out the door in 20 -restaurant in clean and nicely decorated -food price is worth every penny Best place for a dim sum or family meal fix. I love it here especially when they're not super pack and busy. Friendly reminder. If you go during a busy day don't expect to get service with a snap of a finger. They do need to go around and service everyone and put in your order so don't be such a B demanding to be fed. In that case fast food or your kitchen should be the go to place. read more

Very very busy! We came on a Sunday! Right after 12 so brunch crowd was slowing down. The service was kinda hectic and people running around doing there best. Instead of the dim sum we chose the family deal which came with 5-6 dishes. The reason for the 3 stars because they sent the food out one at a time every 15 mins between 8 starving adults n 2 toddlers! Food got cold quick! The food was ok! I would not do the meal again and just do the dimsum menu. read more

You are about to have an experience and you will remember this forever if you have never been before. It's a good spot to stop if you are going to the zoo in the morning. I have kids of all different ages and they all ate the food just as fast as they could get it. I had to cut it up for the kids under 5 and could not keep up. Just ask questions when you are confused and you will be. That's okay the customer service is super friends and answers all your questions. The atmosphere is difference from other spots but that is okay. I promise you will enjoy the spot even though you may question it in the beginning. read more

This review is based on service and the unique dim sum options. I live in Los Angeles and we have a lot of great dim sum restaurants to compare to. The pros, good service and giant stuffed dumplings. Pro Tip: I always order their clam porridge. I can't get this item in Los Angeles and this is a must when I visit Sacramento. Why is it so good? Fresh chucked clams that offer a fresh seafood sweetness vs. any other restaurants that plainly use canned clams. Only con I have is the cleanliness of the restrooms. read more
