San Antonio’s dim sum scene is compact but lively. Here are the spots locals actually use for steamer-basket brunches, cart service, and modern riffs—verified for 2025 and rooted in the city’s dining culture.

Golden Wok

Chinese restaurant · Northwest

A San Antonio fixture since the 1970s, Golden Wok’s Wurzbach location still does the old-school cart parade on weekend brunch with scores of classics. Praised by San Antonio Express-News and repeatedly cited by local critics for its dim sum.

Beloved for regional Chinese, this family-run spot added a daily dim sum service (roughly late morning to late afternoon). San Antonio Current spotlit its siu mai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, and more; MySA confirmed the hours and format.

Sichuan House

Sichuan restaurant · Leon Valley

Not a dim sum house per se, but a trusted local for Chinese small plates—MySA noted off‑menu soup dumplings by request, and critics consistently praise its craftsmanship. A savvy add-on if you’re building a dumpling crawl.
