Came in on the weekend. Parking lot was packed but we still found parking. You can order dim sum here almost any time of the day. They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend! read more

Yummy food from an unassuming restaurant on Garvey Ave, a street in Monterey Park sprawling with various Asian cuisines. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Interior is hardly decorated but has statement black and red tables and chairs haha. No one was dining in, but it seemed like Steam Fresh was popular for takeout. For us, a black sesame roll (could be a snack or dessert), four orders of steamed pork siu mai, two orders of juicy pork dumplings (soup dumplings), and a beef chow fun with soy sauce dish totaled to a little over $55. Everything came out piping hot and packaged well for takeout. We only waited about 15min, which was not bad at all. We really liked the siu mai and chow fun. Both were savory and addicting. Siu mai were especially juicy and meaty; they definitely satisfied our dim sum cravings. Soup dumplings were ok - I found the wrapper to be doughy and the filling kinda plain. The black sesame roll had an interesting rolled look and a sticky, chewy, jelly-like texture. It tasted like lightly sweetened black sesame paste mixed into what seemed like a combination of mochi and agar. The small parking lot in the back is free. We got lucky finding a spot in the late morning, but when we were ready to back out after getting our food, cars were either circling the lot or waiting for someone to leave. read more

Searched randomly in yelp and found this place and this was absolutely a great choice. Parking is at the back of the building which is shared with the other establishments. The staff are great, communication wise, it was a good service. They don't hover around your table. They let you eat in peace then check back every now and then. We ordered several dishes and each and every one of them were tasty. We came before lunch hour so not sure how busy this place gets. Are we going back? Absolutely! This is on my list to go especially for a weekend out. read more

As promised we are back and trying some porridge, rice roll and intestine this time. Omg, this place hits home run in all those. Give them a try and like us hopefully you like em as much as we do. If not let them know so they improves. Service here much much better and you won't realize you are eating Chinese food. The lady recognize us and we alcove us with smiles. read more

Got the Steamed Pork Siu Mai, Pan Fried Turnip Cakes and Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll. Everything was delicious. The Siu Mai was spot on. I really liked the way they pan fried both sides of the Turnip Cake. The Noodle Roll wrapper was a little more thick than I am used to but that is probably because it is Taishanese styled (Per Google: Taishan-style rolls are famous for being thick, hearty, and packed with diverse ingredients.). The wait for the food was minimal. Service was very friendly. Parking is available behind the restaurant. read more

Dim sum nowadays is a special treat because it's so pricey. It wasn't always this way. I don't think I'm too picky about dim sum but I do expect certain basics. For example the fillings should be fresh, the portions decent, the look to be appetizing, and for hot food to be hot. Steam Fresh definitely shows promise when it comes to seemingly fresh fillings, decent portions, and temperature. However in the case of the har gow, it looked like it was shredded. The taste was good and I liked how everything was packaged. But to get har gow that was falling apart to me was not great. Overall I liked the friendly staff and was happy that my dishes were cooked to order. Prices are on par with other dim sum places. Har gow (3/5) ample shrimp despite the falling apart wrapped Lo mai gai (3/5) sticky rice and a smattering of meat. I wasn't a fan of the egg yolk but it's a preference thing. Siu mai (3/5) the pork was decent and the overall taste was good Steamed fun w/shrimp (3/5) some shrimp in a steamed rice noodle. Just average Sesame sticky rice roll (3/5) not too sweet, decent black sesame flavor. I'd get this again. Prices are decent. But I guess I'm old school and just expected a bit more for the cost. Service was good! The two ladies working were super friendly and cheerful. The place was empty when I arrived but people eventually trickled in. Parking is great! There's a huge open lot in the back. So getting in and out couldn't be easier. Overall it just a so-so place. I'd probably try other items if I get a craving and happen to be nearby.

Stopped by Steam Fresh for a quick bite before a nearby meeting, so this review is strictly based on just two items: the siu mai and the lotus leaf sticky rice. I appreciated that everything is steamed and prepared on the spot. It definitely tasted fresh and not like it had been sitting around. That said, because it's made to order, I had to wait about 20 minutes for my food...which feels long when you're used to the instant gratification of traditional dim sum carts rolling by with ready-to-eat options. The siu mai was solid and flavorful, and the lotus leaf sticky rice was warm, fragrant, and satisfying. Overall, a good experience for a quick stop, and I'd be interested in coming back on a weekend to dine in properly with the family and try more of their menu. Sorry for no photos of the two items...I scarfed it down so quickly that I forgot about it. read more

Ordered to go RN1 Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, RN2 Beef Rice Noodle Roll, and RN5 BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll. Each of these rice noodle rolls was a good portion with very soft rice rolls and a good amount of protein inside. The shrimp were full pieces spread across each roll which was pleasant to see and to eat. The beef rice noodle roll was juicy and good strips laid out evenly. And the BBQ Pork was the favorite of the three with that classic bbq pork flavor from the slices cut into the roll; wrapped inside the rice roll. The light soy sauce included with each of these was a lighter soy sauce which pairs well with how light these are and brought their flavors out more. read more

Today, finally I have a chance to try this new establishment for its breakfast combo. This is a new place while dim sum is its speciality. I tired its breakfast combo. While, it doesn't has much choices but it was delicious. I have its congee and stir-fry soy sauce noodles. Both of these items are delicious. The service was also attentive and good. I will try other items. read more

The dim sum is excellent. The taste rivals fancier establishments like Lunasia without the same digs or price. I also liked their handmade rice noodles with cured meat. That's the ultimate comfort food. I want to try their rice balls and black sesame rolls next. Food came out super slow though (at least on the day I went). read more

Everything is made to order, so i placed an order to-go. They said it would take about 15 minutes. This was about 8am, and they didnt have any egg tarts ready so I couldn't order that. They are super friendly and I was able to use the restroom as I waited. The restaurant was just opening so it was super quiet and no one was dining in just yet. They gave me everything I needed to eat it on the go. read more

We were craving for dim sum but didn't want to wait at restaurant so we went to the Steam Fresh in Monterey Park today. However, when we tried to order some dim sums and most of the dim sums were not available. (Such as steamed pork BBQ bun, egg tart, fried turnip cake, sesame roll but all were not available). The server told us that they are going to remove all dim sum on the menu soon but have other Chinese dishes, noodle, congee, etc. It was a little disappointing when she told us this news. Anyhow, we were still able to get the steamed pork Siu Mai, steamed shrimp dumplings x 2 (Har Gow), shrimp rice noodle roll, minced pork lo mein, and Yang Chow Fried Rice of this visit. We also ordered a pot of hot tea and they refilled for us twice. For the dim sum quality, the shrimp rice noodle roll was still not bad; however, we didn't like the soy sauce. For the har gow, the shrimps were big inside but the har gow skin was quite thick. It used to be thinner. Minced pork lo mein was Chinese style and the taste was alright. We all liked the steamed pork Siu Mai with fish roe a lot. They were still very delicious and big. Yang Chow fried rice was also tasted pretty good but we waited for about 15 minutes. It took a bit too long for that order though. The server asked us if we would like to try their other new dishes but we were quite full today. I think that it would be challenging for them if they keep changing the business type. Their food is pretty good but they have to find out what kind of food makes them stand out and then they should stick with it. Honestly, I like their dim sum the most, I used to give them 5 stars review about 3 months ago but now I have to update the review to about 3.5 stars. Hope they will do well after they change their menu. read more

Dim sum is historically eaten during lunch/breakfast so after finding a dim sum spot that closes at 7PM, I knew I had to give this place a shot. They ran out of the bbq pork buns so we got the curry chicken bun which were really good! The owner even gave us some extra food for the inconvenience and possibly because it was almost 7PM We did an online order and ordered 9 dim sum dishes. Most dishes were delicious and our favorites were the siu mai, har gow, shrimp / chive dumplings. Siu mai was super thicc and had a generous amount of meat with lots of fish roe. I enjoyed the ham sui gok filling a lot but it needed more filling. My least favorite was the spare ribs too little meat. This place is really good with friendly workers and I'd come here again!! read more

* Bright, simple ambience. Very nice contemporary Chinese music playing. * Waitresses were very nice and helpful. We ordered in Cantonese. * Food was really good! - Shrimp Rice Roll - didn't have as much flavor as we wanted (perhaps the sauce) but got better as we ate; very good texture though. Will try it again next time. - Chow Mein - very good! Reminded me of the simple HK chow mein flavors. A classic dish and worth ordering. - Fish Ball Soup Noodles - the fish balls were intriguing; never had it with this texture, definitely different from other fish balls in the area. Noodles and broth were flavorful. Worth getting. - Taiwanese Cabbage - this was delicious! Flavorful and crunchy texture. Very surprised by how rich this tasted. Highly recommended! Will return to try again! read more

My brother suggested having lunch at Steam Fresh because we don't have turkey plans. Opened earlier in this year, the Cantonese-Chinese restaurant is located off Garvey & Ynez Aves. in Downtown Monterey Park. At the entrance, there's a cute dumpling mascot to the left of the door. The small dining room has 10 tables & booths that seats between 2 - 8 guests, with a unisex restroom in the back. Since the opening, the menu has been revised with a 20% decrease in items to enhance proficiency, particularly items that are more labor intensive. My kids really wanted to try the Sugar Puffs, Creamy Egg Tart, Green Onion Pan Cake, & Chinese Sausage Roll. I was happy to discover some Cantonese cuisine that's familiar & comforting, & our server Wu姊姊 speaks Cantonese so I can practice my mother tongue. There was a couple of dishes that I already picked out: Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Meats & Special Duck Clay Pot from the chalk written specialty menu, & added our staples: Chinese Cruller, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, Steamed Pork Siu Mai, Steamed Shrimp Dumpling. I mentioned my parents' province & Wu姊姊 suggested the Stir-Fried Handmade Rice Noodle with Cured Meat. I forgot to bring my own stash of loose leaf teas, & order a pot of Pu-Erh, & a bottled pear juice for the kids to share. The kids enjoyed the pear juice; it was mellow in pear flavor & sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. The pu-erh was decent with a crisp, grassy flavor. You won't see more developed pu-erh tea at standard Chinese restaurants that has a smooth, & more complex woody, earthy flavor, though the banquet restaurants may have a hidden stash of higher grade teas for their preferred customers. We started with my son's fav: 油炸鬼 (Chinese cruller), followed by the steamed dim sum. The cruller had a crispy exterior, & fluffy, airy interior that's not heavy with oil. The rice rolls were tender with plump shrimp that had a bite to them, though it was skimpy with shrimp; with 3 rice rolls, there were 1 - 2 shrimp per roll. The shrimp dumplings & siu mai were pretty large with a generous filling; good flavor, nothing outstanding. The last 3 dishes were the best in the group: Special Duck Clay Pot, Stir-Fried Handmade Rice Noodle with Cured Meat, Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Meats. The duck was tender (that easily falls apart) & savory, but needed white rice as an accompaniment to rich, fatty duck juices. While the handmade rice noodle reminds me of home comfort foods, the chewy noodles were a tad greasy, otherwise, it's a tasty dish that's balanced with smoky, umani cured meats. My fav from the group is the Chinese cauliflower; it has a more delicate, sweeter taste than the standard cauliflower. Topped with wood ear mushrooms, carrots, green onions, onions, & smoky preserved meats, I could barely stop eating this dish even though I was full. I can eat this plate on my own, or maybe 2. Nom, nom, nom delish! Prices are moderate, & dim sum is on the lower side with regular to generous portions. There's been a 5% increase on dim sum, but still cheaper than most dim sum restaurants in SGV, though offerings are limited to 9 items. Menu is broken down by: dim sum, appetizers, congee, rice noodle roll, rice, meat, clay pot, chef's special, noodle, vegetable, desserts, beverages. Fantabulous service... friendly, efficient, & kind; Wu姊姊 warned me about the clay pot's heat & placed it away from the kids so they don't burn themselves. I infrequently dine in SGV, especially when I'm visiting my brother who lives out here, so I definitely will be back at this delish Cantonese restaurant! Recommended: Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Meats (must have!), Stir-Fried Handmade Rice Noodle with Cured Meat (family fav), Special Duck Clay Pot, Chinese Cruller, Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll (yummy roll but skimpy on filling), Steamed Pork Siu Mai, Steamed Shrimp Dumpling, White Rice, Pu-Erh Tea, Pear Juice with Rock Sugar Drink. read more

A true gem!!! Honestly one of the best dim sum I've had in a while. Do note that this isn't your normal - large restaurant with the aunties and the carts. It's more of a hole in the wall, no frills restaurant. It reminded me of Hong Kong and I love it. There wasn't a crazy wait and the food was soo good, you could taste the difference in quality and flavor. Service was really great as well! read more

Great small mom & pop dim sum spot! Not one I'd bring the whole family to dine-in Sunday brunch, but definitely a solid to-go spot or if we're on a time crunch/don't want to wait in a 1hr line elsewhere. Fair price of ~$5 per dish, but they have lunch combos that are definitely worth trying (drink, any rice noodle dish, any pastry for $9). The spare ribs were very juicy. The xu mai was large and I love the masago & mushroom additions. Ha cao and chicken feet were alright. read more

been craving chinese food and so we came here for lunch. I got lucky and found parking right in front, which can be really tricky in Monterey Park!

We got: steamed shrimp rolls wonton soup shrimp har gao siu mai yang chow fried rice chicken feet beef chow fun the siu mai was probably one of my favorite items here. the fried rice and chow fun were also pretty good and reminded me of my childhood read more

Came here with my dad for a quick lunch. Its a new spot so we were eager to try. We ordered a few rice noodles, chicken, noodles and dim sum classics. Everything was made fresh to order.

everything was under-seasoned... maybe it's healthier? but it was just somehow unsatisfying... the shrimp dumplings (har gow) were the best we had out of all the dishes ordered. good service though and clean space, check it out if you don't want to fight for the wait at your usual dim sum restaurants as it was pretty empty on a Sunday during lunch hour. read more

The best dim sum I've ever had. It was so fresh and so good. The shrimp rice roll is amazing. The pork Sui Mai was incredible. It had small fish roe on top which elevated it. The XLB was better than Din Tai Fung. The best part is that you can have it for dinner because they're open from 5pm to 8:30pm. The wonton soup was not my style but the beef noodle soup was good. They use a thinner noodle here compared to other places. The interior is clean and simple. The service was good. We were greeted in Cantonese but the server also spoke English. There is plenty of parking in the back lot. We'll be back whenever we have a dim sum craving. read more

Saw this new dim sum place while driving by the other day. They took over the Wonton King place. We came 45 minutes after they opened and it was empty when we arrived. It was very hot inside and the AC was not on. They switched it on after we sat down but it took a while for the space to cool down. I also like how they place peaceful piano music, which is very different from other dim sum restaurants where it's super loud. Service: The lady working was so nice and attentive. She offered us hot sauce and mustard without us asking. She also took the time to chat with us and ask for feedback on their food. Food: Honestly, I don't think their dim sum is good considering they are located in SGV and have a lot of competition. Most of the dishes were pretty bland. Thank goodness for the hot sauce because everything was very flavorless. We ordered: * steamed pork siu mai * chicken feet w/ special sauce - had a weird flavor to it.. did not taste like the typical chicken feet in dim sum restaurants * steamed spareribs w/ black bean sauce * baked BBQ pork bun - honestly my favorite dish out of everything. It was fresh out of the oven * beef rice noodle roll - came out very clumpy and stuck together * iced lemon tea Maybe they're still new, which is why the food was lacking flavor. I'll probably come back in the future to give them another try. read more

Just tried this newer Taishan restaurant my cousin recommended, and wow--it really hit home. The food is truly authentic Taishan style, something that's honestly hard to find done like my mom. One dish that really stood out was their savory tangyuan soup. It tasted just like the one my mom used to make, and brought back such warm memories of my parents growing up. Alongside the classic dim sum offerings, they also serve some traditional favorites you don't always see--like Chinese doughnuts lightly sprinkled with sugar and black sesame rolls. Everything felt thoughtful and true to tradition. If you're looking for something comforting, nostalgic, and genuinely authentic, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

The food tasted really tasty. The rice rolls were nice and thin. The har gao and siu mai were plump, large, and tasty. The turnip cakes didn't taste full of filler, and had nice pieces of turnip in it. There is a charge for hot tea. But it's only $3. There was a snafu with the wrong amount charged, but it was a mistake and fixed very quickly. Parking is easy: street or a lot in the back area. Service was quick and the person was very nice. It was a very good first experience at the restaurant. read more

On a Sunday in mid June, my sister and I took our mother here for breakfast. We were only people there at 8:30am. The menu has limited selection of dim sum. We ordered sui mai, bbq pork rice roll, hk lo mein. Nice waitress who spoke English. The sui mai taste good but the rice roll is fine which they put lettuce inside. The lo mein is not what I expected. The waitress said it is lo mein. Dry noodles and side cup of broth and mince meat topping. The ham su gok and coffee custard bread taste good.

Steam Fresh is now my fav dim sum place! Like its name says; everything is steamed fresh to order. Items are flavor packed and not too salty! Our eyes were obviously bigger than our stomachs but we love leftovers! The hom sui gok was one of the best I've had. The ingredients were fresh and hearty and the fried mochi outside was delish. The daikon cake was also excellent with a great texture. Soup dumplings were soupy and flavorful, I kept splattering on myself lol. Rice noodles were smooth and had lots of meat. Hubs made me get up early cuz he wanted the breakfast set, which he thoroughly enjoyed and devoured with some of our other goodies. Of course I need to get my tong yuan and vinegars pig trotters too so so good! Highly recommend them! Everything is always delish! They have limited dim sum options, have the basics, but there's lots of other things you can supplement with! Good portions and so reasonable. Service the few times I've been has always been good. Servers are friendly and helpful. Restaurant is smaller but very clean and kind of a modern decor. Quaint . read more

Everything was made fresh to order. I especially like the Har Gow! The shrimp was fresh and tasty and larger than typical at most dim sum. The Shumai was ok, not as tasty but also larger than normal. I also did liked their Char Shu Bao. Also these were larger than normal, and the Char Shu filling was very plentiful! The XLB dumplings and the panfried turnip cakes (Luo buo gao) were just Ok, nothing to write home about and also did not come with any kind of its own sauce. The pork spareribs were the least liked. While I like that they came with kabocha squash in it, the ribs themselves were neither good in taste or texture. We also tried the Beef Brisket Lo Mein and the Beef Chow Fun Noodles. The Beef brisket could have been more, and the particular type of egg noodle was thicker, not like the typical E-Mein that I'm used to having for this type of noodle. Also there was not much braising broth in it so there was not much taste and the broth served with the noodle dish on the side was also a strange salty crabby flavor, but not in a good crabby way. The Beef Chow Fun was better, a decent portion, but could have used more stir fried onion in it and it was a bit too oily. The last thing that was very annoying was that for whatever reason, they took a super long time to serve us the Shumai! Other tables that were seated after us were served before us, and the Shumai arrived after we had already finished all the other dishes. I feel like they forgot about our order until I flagged them down to ask about them. Overall the food was decent and the seating was no wait on a Saturday noon meetup. The dim sum menu here is very limited and operates more like a Chinese deli that has dim sum. read more

Only tried two items here, but both were really good. The steamed char siu bao had a fluffy exterior with a filling that wasn't overly sweet, and you could actually taste the char siu. The steamed rolls had great texture, and the pork kidney had that iron-rich flavor you want without being off-putting. Staff were very nice, English-friendly, but the place still felt authentically Chinese. It was pretty packed inside, though we may have gone on an off day because it looked like one party.

There was free parking in the back and plenty of free street parking. Came when they opened in the morning. We got the 中式茶 or Hot Tea for $3.00, 鲜虾韭菜饺 or Shrimp Dumpling w/ Chive for $5.68, 蒸点烧麦 or Pork Siu Mai for $5.68, 百搭酱蒸凤爪 or Chicken Feet w/ Special Sauce for $5.68, 香菜牛肉肠粉 or Beef Rice Noodle Roll for $6.39, 爽滑猪肝肠粉 or Pork Liver Rice Noodle Roll for $5.39, and 荔湾艇仔粥 or Sampan Seafood Congee for $12.39. The 中式茶 or Hot Tea was nice and strong and a good deal for $3.00 given most dim sum places charge $2 a person. All of the dishes were good. The 鲜虾韭菜饺 or Shrimp Dumpling w/ Chive were hugh and delicious. The 蒸点烧麦 or Pork Siu Mai were also hugh and delicious. The 百搭酱蒸凤爪 or Chicken Feet w/ Special Sauce was good but didn't stand out. The 香菜牛肉肠粉 or Beef Rice Noodle Roll and 爽滑猪肝肠粉 or Pork Liver Rice Noodle Roll were both really good with generous amount of soy sauce. The 荔湾艇仔粥 or Sampan Seafood Congee had a lot of seafood and meat but there was too much fat piece in congee. Overall a solid restaurant for dim sum. Would definitely come back to check out their tea time special. read more
