    This place is pretty good. Very fresh and a lot of orders are made on the spot. The ambiance is fast pace so please know your order before you go. Everything is reasonably priced. The service is fast so keep up. The only downfall to me was the giant bao bun which was gross. Everything else was too notch like going to a restaurant.

    Located on the outside of an Asian market is dimsum co. Good variety of options to choose from for a quick and easy togo dimsum fix. Food: Pork & Shrimp Dumplings Shumai 4pc ($5.39): Great enjoyable size and tasty. Steamed Bbq Pork Buns 3pc ($5.39): Sweet and Savory. You can also order online for pick up and order large party trays. Parking lot can be a bit chaotic with a few other stores including the Asian market within this plaza. This place has been my go to as of late.

    Still celebrating Lunar New Year the best way I know how- with dim sum and all the good fortune vibes. The Dim Sum Co is a true hidden gem that is perfect for getting some delicious treats for Lunar New Year. Located inside the My Thuan supermarket in Westminster, this spot offers a fast casual experience with their take out dim sum. There's actually no sit down dining and one has to place their order outside at the side of the market. Their dim sum menu consists a lot of the classic dim sum dishes. For my visit here I chose to get their Phoenix Claws (Chân gà) ($4.79), Egg Tarts (Bánh trứng nướng) ($4.79), Lotus Sticky Rice (Xôi lá sen) ($5.39) and Egg Rolls (Chả giò) ($2.99). Everything was fresh and flavorful. My favorites were the Egg Tarts and the Egg Rolls. One can't go wrong with crispy Vietnamese egg rolls. The Dim Sum definitely knows how to make a good egg roll. The Egg Tarts had perfectly flaky crust and a creamy, sweet center. This spot made for a great food stop in Westminster. I love how easy and quick it was to get some authentic and tasty dim sum! I would definitely stop by this place again when I'm in the area.

    Dim sum in oc to me sucks. But the better option is the dim sum compan that is located on the side of the supermarket . For quick take out it's pretty good. Especially if you go earlier in the morning while it's more fresh. Decent prices. Lines move pretty fast. They do charge 50 cents for sate fyi

    When I think about Dim Sum, The Dim Sum co, is always the first one that comes to mind! Attached to a grocery store, you can order dim sum outside of the building and there are so many options to choose from. I ordered the Chicken & Chive Dumplings and the Fried Crescent Dumplings. The dumplings are packed and you can really taste the flavor. I really enjoy how the fried crescent is not overly fried because you can taste the richness of the meat while enjoying the chewiness of the dumpling.

    This is my favorite takeout dim sum place! I usually order online and it's always ready by the time they say it'd be ready. The location is on the side of an Asian grocery store and it's take-out only so no seating. The shrimp and pork siu mai is so freaking juicy and good. It has just enough mushroom that the flavor is there, and the ratio of shrimp to pork is perfect! I just came back a few days ago just to get a bunch of the siu mai alone. The crispy pork belly was also really delicious! It was quite a generous portion for the price and came with rice, pickled veggies, and a soup. I could skip out on the fried shrimp balls. They were okay but nothing special about them. There's a lot more things I want to try on their menu, but I'd give this place 5 stars even if they only served their siu mai!! I love it!!

    You gotta be brave...

    On the way home we stopped at The Dim Sum place. Oh I got lucky and found a parking spot. No line at the counter and again I felt lucky.. I saw the pictures of the many bite sized morsels that are sweet and savory. I pointed to the ones I recognized from previous visits. Steamed pork buns...Xiu Mai dumplings...Sesame Balls with sweet filling...bean curd rolls...Vietnamese Egg rolls and two orders of my fave shrimp and pork summer rolls with peanut sauce. I wanted more but for three of us it should be enough. You can pay with CC and the receipt has your itemized order and the number that will be announced when ready for pick up. My luck ran out....While I waited I was summoned and informed that they are short of egg rolls and would I like to wait or get a seaweed covered rolls to complete the order for egg rolls. Ok.. I'll try that...All is ready and neatly packed. At home we sorted the Dim Sum and we had an instant enjoyable feast. It was easy to order and I got good service at The Dim Sum place.

    It's a no frills window on the side of My Thuan market, plan for takeaway and eat in your car or at home. I just wanted a snack so I got an order(4 pieces) of shu mai. They were hot, fresh and very tasty. They do not skimp on the pork and shrimp, and were very filling! I'll be back to try the other items.

    This is a great place to get affordable dim sum to go. I ordered 4 dishes for under $25 where at other places it would be well over that amount. The medium fried rice is only $4.99 and they give you a generous amount, filling it to the top of the box. The taro puff is a little bland compared to other places- or just had a tiny amount of pork inside. It could be improved with more ingredients like cilantro or mushrooms. The turnip cake is also so-so but it is really good after being in the air-fryer and a dash of soy sauce and chilli oil. My favourite thing to get is the century egg and pork congee. They give a generous amount and I like that it is topped off with ginger. The only downside would be the parking during lunch hours. It's best to arrive before noon. There can also be quite a long line of people waiting for food after they've ordered. So it's always a good idea to order online ahead of time!

    Every time we come here in the morning, we buy some food to go. Business is always good and the food is consistent. If you come on a Sunday morning, parking is hard to find because the lot fills up early. The only thing I don't like is that some people smoke right outside the entrance. It's not great when you're waiting for your order.

    We love Dim Sum Co! It's our go-to spot whenever we're craving dim sum without the long wait. It's located on the side of My Thuan Supermarket, but they have an outdoor order and pickup area so you don't actually have to go inside the market. There's a single line to order then you just wait for your number to be called. There's no seating, so it's takeout only. You can also order online for pick up! Prices are fair, and the menu offers a great variety! We like to stick to our "usual" dim sum favorites, and it's so good every time. :)

    So this was by far the worse Vietnamese experience I've had and I'm Vietnamese. The worse customer service ever especially to the girl who was handing out food today at 11. Berating customers, acting with extreme attitude. Non existent customer service and A blatant disrespect is insane. it frankly hurts to see older Asian women get berated and completely disrespected when all they need it to pick up their order. They are not sure where the order number is on their phone screen and instead of help you completely disregard them - I saw this happen and my own mom came home and expressed how this disregard and impact on OUR own community is what makes people scared to use new ordering techniques or go out and support Vietnamese businesses. Shame on them - never again. JUST TRIED the food and had to come back - omg. Dry banh Bao like it was reheated the shiu mai used to have juicy shrimp and little toppings now it is dry. The rice rolls were all congealed together. tau Hu Ky is completely horrible.

    I found this place after seeing it mentioned online and I'm so glad I finally stopped by! It's located next to a Vietnamese grocery store in Westminster. If you're facing the grocery store, the dim sum counter is on the right side of the building. There's additional parking on that side, which made it easy and convenient. The setup is simple and efficient. It's a walk-up window where you place your order, and while you're waiting there's a QR code to view the menu on your phone. They also have a large menu displayed, which was helpful since I wasn't confident pronouncing some of the item names. I was able to easily point to what I wanted. I visited on a weekday morning around 10 AM and only had two people ahead of me. The service was incredibly fast--we were in and out in about 10-15 minutes. Everything looked fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. What really stood out was the customer service. The gentleman taking orders was extremely friendly and patient. While we waited, he even gave my young daughter a complimentary egg tart custard, which was such a thoughtful gesture and completely made her day. I brought home several items for my husband, including some of his favorite dim sum dishes, and he absolutely loved everything. The food was fresh, flavorful, and tasted just as good as many sit-down dim sum restaurants we've visited. Based on the quality, prices, and speed of service, I can imagine this place gets very busy on weekends. Going on a weekday morning was perfect. We'll definitely be back. If you're looking for delicious takeout dim sum without the wait and hassle of a traditional restaurant, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.

This review is specifically for takeout, but honestly, even the takeout holds up on its own. The shu mai are thick, juicy, and packed with larger pieces of pork and shrimp, which I love. You actually get some texture and substantial bites of meat and seafood rather than the overly processed filling you sometimes find elsewhere. The spare ribs are another favourite. They're tender, flavourful, and perfectly seasoned without being overly salty or heavy. And I have to mention the satay. I'm not sure if they make it in-house or use a specific brand, but whatever they're doing, it's one of the best satays I've had and better than pretty much any store-bought brand I've tried and better than a lot of what I've had at other restaurants.

When we arrived there was a moderate amount of people waiting but wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be! We waited about 15 min for a party of 6 at 10 am on a Sunday. The inside was banquet style restaurant with a lot of seating and tables, so it makes sense that the wait wasn't terribly long. The service is friendly, a lot of younger staff. Most of the dim sum is ordered from the menu, only the steamed noodles are ordered from the cart. I do miss the cart and being able to see and choose what we wanted. The food came out very fast and was very fresh! Everything tasted amazing. I loved the turnip cake, football, shui mai, and chicken feet the most! But it was all delicious. It definitely hit the dim sum cravings.

Honey Walnut Shrimp 6/5. Ive been craving for this dish for the longest time and it didn't disappoint. The walnut shrimp was fried golden brown delicious, plump shrimp, the sauce was perfect and not overly drenched. The candied walnut nice crunch and sweetness.

Nothing bad at all. Whole fried fish. Man this dish was tiny!!! The fish was tiny!!! It was tasty due to the sauce, but the fish itself was TINY!!! lol 2/5 stars. Everyone orders this but it's just too small for family style meal. House special fish filet. Yeah this was good but I tasted a lot more batter than the actual fish itself. I think seafood cove 2 cooks this better. 2/5 stars for this also Crap asparagus soup. 2/5 stars Naaaah not worth it. Don't order this lol. Save urself the money. Bland and boring. The service was great. They gave us plastic utensils for the kids. And also cups for the kids (styrofoam cups since the kids are messy and tend to drop things) Overall, it's a bit dirty. Parking sucks hardcore. Food is mediocre. But service is good. When you pay, you get oranges as dessert at the end. Seafood cove 2 is def better and plentiful parking compared to this place.

There wasn't anyone eating there when we went on a weekday morning so service was super quick! It's a huge space though so I'm sure it gets more rowdy on the weekends. We tried the classic dim sum dishes. The shumai was a bit dry for me but was still overall pretty good. The rice rolls with shrimp had a very good sauce and it was super addicting! The only one that disappointed us were the soup dumplings, which fell apart because they stuck to the bottom. Also there just wasn't very much soup in them to begin with. Both of our favs were the baby ribs, which were so soft and flavorful. The fried shrimp balls were also good and were made to order so they were super crispy and fresh! I really liked the chili oil here because it actually had a kick. For dessert, we ended off with their egg tarts that were crispy, sweet, and delicious!!

But their food is still great most of the time. I now just get to go and eat at home or eat somewhere else so I don't have to deal with their service. I like the new update and the modern look of the restaurant but I feel that it's taking away. It's warmth. It feels a little more clinic-y if that makes sense. I'll probably update again if anything changes or if a family member is dying to go here. I just get really upset thinking about how I have two aunts in my last example that we've gone ands server. Who's been there for ages treats you different based on I guess your tipping and to me that's a put off. He is also very crass, and his jokes are kind of gross. The owner does try and go around. But the last time I've gone, she kinda just sat there. My last experience while in the restaurant was that there were maybe four or five tables of people about 2 to 4 in each table. And this was after dim sum time so there are no carts going around. And even though their staff was pretty full service was so slow. The food was kind of extra greasy and it gave a lot of us. Bad stomach aches. I still debate how bad I want dim sum when I have to go here. But at least their dim sum is still great! I really hope that the place does turn around because when I drive by I see how empty it's gotten and it makes me sad that my favorite place is not doing as well. Cross fingers!
