Tripe, sharkfin dumpling - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

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.

Interior
Mike B.

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.

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

Family dinner

Good experience for family dinner. Great customer service, will try again for another gathering.

Har gow siu mai chicken feet crispy shrimp balls tripe
Harry V.

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.

We haven't been here in awhile, but it's my mother-in-law's favorite place. Celebrated Thanksgiving lunch with the family. Service was quick. Place was well-staffed. Very spacious. Everything tasted delicious. Here are pics of some of our families' favorites.

Crispy noodles

We were greeted upon arrival with smiley faces and great services. Food was authentic delicious chicken feet and crispy shrimp roll with chow fun noodles. The full carts are constantly go around with offering various dim sum clean indoor dining.

Restaurant name

Wow, My family recently had two wedding services from King Palace restaurant. One happened on Nov, 2025 and the other was on Feb 2026. The foods are not only delicious and tasty but also the service were awsome. This is the lowest price in the area. No one can beat King Palace. The business has ran well for generations. Dim sum is fantastic Family food style also wonderful You can enjoy time with family, coworkers,friends and your love ones ones

Salty Fish Fried Rice with Chicken
Monica L.

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!

Beef chow fun in their gravy sauce
Ryan W.

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!

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

When the one item I wanted, wasn't on a cart they specially ordered it for me and brought it out pretty quickly. The decor is still bare bones no real ambience whatsoever. But that's OK because they have carts and that makes it all worthwhile. Now for the sad news.... The Dim Sum is just not that good anymore. I always really enjoyed having the black bean spareribs and these ribs and have a couple black beans in them are just devoid a flavor. There's a little bit of jalapeño flavor, but I would never order these again. The pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings were very stale tasting. The inside was perfect consistency and ratios, but the outside noodle was dried and chewy and just not good. I also got the steam steamed then pan fried pork and vegetable buns, which are normally to die for good here, but oh-my, they were just awful it taste like eating cardboard. The inside was OK but outside was so bad and so stale tasting that I just was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon, which is really sad.

But for today, i wanted to try their take-out stir fry dishes. So what did we order. 1) Broccoli chicken in garlic sauce entree. chicken was rough and lacked flavor. It seemed recooked and prepped earlier. Broccoli was fresh and cooked very al dente (i guess it is better cooked less to retain the vitamins and nutrients). the garlic sauce had minimal flavor. i would say it is meh. would i order this dish again....good question. 2) spareribs in black bean sauce over rice. the dish looked very good. Too bad it didn't taste as well as it looked. Let's start with the rice. The rice was cold, grainy, a little hard, and tasted like it was prepared the other day. Blah. The pork also lacked flavor- it had a mealy texture and dry. As if the pork pieces were boiled in hot water first as the initial prep which destroyed the texture hoping the black bean sauce would cover the poorly prepared pork pieces- blah, Yuck, awful. However, the veggies (bell pepper:onions) were tasty and prepared well. The sauce was decent but it did have more of a soy sauce flavor than black bean flavor. Would i order this again- nope. never. walk away. I hope their other pork dishes are not boiled in water first as well. blah. Prices are a bit higher with the new owners. But food cost are higher everywhere.. $15 for the broccoli chicken and $12.75 for the spareribs in black bean sauce. Would i come back for the entrees- nope. but perhaps i will try their dim sum another time.
