Dim Sum World

I recently visited Dim Sum World, and it's fair to say that despite facing too much carbohydrates as a runner lol, I didn't faint 🤩. The dishes, all prepared by the family, offer a comprehensive selection from both Northern and Southern China. The Vietnamese noodles, particularly noteworthy for their homemade bone broth, are a must-try ❤️. We had a chance to chat with the owners, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal 😊. Our stomachs were fully satisfied, and we're definitely planning to return.

Great food, sweetest lady serving with a smile, good place for dim sum. There is t much seating, I would recommend take out. We were driving back to the Bay Area and wanted dim sum in a Sunday. Most big places had long waits. Overall, happy to is place didn’t have a wait and offered good dim sum options. We had the beef noodle soup for the kids to share, chilli oil dumplings, and beef pan fried dumplings with broth. Bathroom is in the shopping plaza not in the restaurant.

Good food - fair price💖 Small family business so there aren't many tables available and very cozy vibes. They have the best dimsum I've ever had. Make sure to add some chili oil, vinegar & splash of soy sauce for dipping sauce (the best) I'm highly recommend Pork Xia Long Bao, Hair Gow or Siumai. Salted Egg Bun & Chili wonton are MUST!!! They have very little kitchen, also they'll cook every single dish after you ordered and gonna serve at the same time => usually 15min wait so be patient. It's worth it I promise **they accept Debit card/Cash**

This place hits the spot late night. You no longer need to wait for the weekend to have dim sum. This place serves it all day and night. Definitely a mom and pop operation. Great variety. I had the beef stew noodles but definitely heavy on the noodles, wish there was more meat. If you like spicy, this place lathers it on nicely. The service is always friendly, not necessarily on point as there is slight language barrier but it works. If you like dumplings, pops makes a nice batch

A take away only place, that actually opens pretty early, at 9am. After ordering at the door, it took about 15 minutes for our order, not too bad. We had 3- Steamed Vegetable Buns, Vegetarian Spring Rolls & a Pan Fried Chive Pocket. All three were pretty good, not the worst and definitely not the best Dim Sum. The prices are good though, and if your craving it for breakfast it will do. The lady who took our order was very nice and helpful.

The restaurant is a bit small, can hold about 17 people MAX. The family that owns this business is so kind. My personal favorites are the juice pork dumplings, chicken potstickers, chicken chow mein, and milk bun. Literal flavortown. I think the price is definitely worth the flavor. ELAC STUDENTS ‼️ I highly recommend! It's a quiet place if you're hungry and need a break from class. Please bring cash 🫶🏼

A really great spot. I personally reccomend the beef wraps and the red bean buns.

This was an assuming location with a mom and pop running the show. The dim sum was delicious! Also, had pho and spring rolls. The prices were really reasonable for dim sum and it tasted very fresh. The pork soup dumplings were 🔥🔥🔥I will definitely be coming back. My only concern was that the bathroom was out of order and I prefer to dine in where there is a restroom.

Great little restaurant with food that packs a punch with flavor! We tried the spicy pork dumplings, chicken dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, beef wrap and loved it all! The lady was very sweet and attentive. Definitely give this place a try.

I happened to be in the area so I took the opportunity to check off something in my collections for places to eat. Very small business with plenty of shared parking in a high rise parking structure. Since I was by myself, I chose to sit at the bigger table. I didn't have to wait long for my food which was VERY good, but a little pricey compared to Chinatown. Many dim sum to choose from, but decided to try something new. The chives pocket was VERY good if you like chives with glass noodles. I decided to order my go to dim sum which was the har gow (shrimp). It was good, but the size of the dim sum itself was much smaller compared to the size I can get in Chinatown. As for the hot tea, it tasted the usual way, but I prefer my hot tea to actually be in the little china pot. Would I go back? Sure, if I happen to be in the area, I definitely would not bring my whole family because the ambiance wasn't what we/they would be used to. Customer service was fine.

Today, I tried DimSum World for 1st time. Order XioLongBao. They're very delicious. The Pan Fried Juicy Bun is amazing. Got to order more. Very satisfied for what we ordered. They both are very juicy.

Love this small restaurant. The owner was very friendly. Food was excellent. My son loves the noodles. We will come back.

I was craving dimsum so I decided to try this place out. Ordered the Dandan noodles and the chicken dumplings, the serving size was pretty generous. The spicy Dandan noodles was flavorful and not overly spicy. The soup dumplings was moist. Just little pricey if you are eating alone but great value if you were sharing with others

This is probably my favorite place ever for wontons in chili oil. The dan dan noodle was super delicious and fried egg rolls. I only regret not discovering this place sooner. I promise you this place will blow your mind. Homemade dumplings as well!! Service was also quick and very sweet. The ambiance is like a cute hole in the wall, very small but comfy!

bomb! ordered to go and everything was still delicious after the 15 minute drive home. The vinegar sauce and chili oil were great and they really complemented the dumplings instead of overpowering them. The employee was also super helpful because we placed a large order for several people, and he helped us divide everything into separate bags.

This place is an absolute gem!! I'm so sad I didn't take any photos of the food (I was too busy devouring it) but everything is always so delicious. It's a cozy restaurant serving all types of Asian delights that are each made fresh to order. Not only are the dishes amazing, but the service is as well. Everytime I come here, I feel the love from the staff and it reminds me of some semblance of home - growing up with this type of comfort cuisine. It makes me sad to hear that others might not have had a positive experience but honestly having tried an array of Asian restaurants in the area, none taste like this. There's no reminisce of MSG (like most places) and everything feels light, not greasy. They truly care about your experience and I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone missing a home cooked meal!!

My family and I went down to LA and saw this restaurant, all the dishes were quite bad and sloppy, the meat inside the dumling dishes felt very foul, the fried noodles my child just ate had to be thrown away,

Small business that serves great food. Everything is bursting with flavor and feels like time is taken into preparing.

Excellent dumplings. Mom and pop dumpling shop. Got the potstickers, pan fried buns, beef wrap and har gow.

I had a great dining experience at Dim Sum World. The service was excellent, with a particularly sweet and helpful woman attending to our needs. The chicken soup dumplings were a warm and savory delight, while the spicy pork soup dumplings added a flavorful kick. If you are a garlic lover, the chicken chow mein is for you. The dumplings will not be the best you've ever had, but I would definitely come back for my soup dumpling needs.

Delicious dumplings and dim sum, reasonably priced, very nice service. I plan to return whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

Overall a underwhelming experience. I got the pan fried dumplings, beef soup, and beef wrap. Pros Beef wrap had nice crunchy cucumbers Filling for pan fried dumplings were very flavorful. Cons Pan-fried dumplings were not crispy on the bottom at all. The skin was thick and felt more like a lotus bun. Beef wrap was not wrapped multiple times, so it fell apart easily. There was not much beef in the wrap, and the cucumber was next to it in the wrap, so I never got a "perfect" bite. The owner did not acknowledge my presence when I entered and was just chit chatting with another customer. The worker that did help me out was nice and was the only nice thing about the restraunt. Beef soup also had no beef and the soup flavor was very mild.

Nice services the food was excellent I'll come back again It will be the second time I visited this place

A take away only place, that actually opens pretty early, at 9am. After ordering at the door, it took about 15 minutes for our order, not too bad. We had 3- Steamed Vegetable Buns, Vegetarian Spring Rolls & a Pan Fried Chive Pocket. All three were pretty good, not the worst and definitely not the best Dim Sum. The prices are good though, and if your craving it for breakfast it will do. The lady who took our order was very nice and helpful.

My first time trying this place and I would say the food is ok but my main gripe is paying a premium for ok food. My assumption is that inflation has a lot to do with it, but I ordered 1 wonton in chili oil and 1 spicy dan dan noodle and it was $22. The dishes were small with an underwhelming amount of filling and other ingredients. I probably won't be back because I the price isn't worth what you get and the food is not outstanding. See pic.

The beef noodle soup had 0 flavor. The shrimp chowmein only had 4 baby shrimp. Not worth the money.

Me surfing at Yelp looking for new places to dine in with a friend. Dim Sum World has an awesome review from every person who has dine in at their place. We decided to try them out even it's a long drive for us. The place is not huge, but we were greeted right away even she was very busy with other customers. The place is pack and lots of phone orders. While talking to the owner we found out her and husband are running this business for a long time. They hand make every single gyoza, dumpling, noodles,.... they served. Including Chili sauce. Imagine, 12:00 midnight they start preparing till 6:00am every single day. Their price are not expensive and every single dish is awesome so delicious. We are planing to go back again this weekend. I forgot to mention they also have some ready make gyoza, pork pie, dumpling that were frozen you can order it and cook them at home.

I went here today. I ordered the beef noodle soup. Probably the worst beef noodle soup I ever had. Here are some reasons: 1. About 4 quarter size pieces of beef 2. Soup had a quarter inch of oil in the bowl 3. The soup was old 4. Expensive for what it's worth I also threw up about an hour of eating it. I don't throw up normally, so something is off. I do not recommend this place. I recommend going across the street to McDonald's instead.

Came here Christmas for lunch since it was one of the only places open in the area. Right now they are doing takeout only, you order on the phone and pick up at the door. The lady who took the order was really nice and communicative even though her English is not the best. ***For my fellow peanut allergy comrades, the only food that has traces of peanuts is the Pan Fried Dumplings. All of the food I bought didn't give me a reaction, but you should ask if you want to order something not pictured*** It took us a while to get our food, we were quoted 20 minutes but waited a total of 30-35. It was Christmas though and there was a guy before us who looked like he ordered a lot so that could explain the small delay. We ordered 5 dishes and it came out to ~$40: XLB, Beef Noodle Soup, Spicy Wonton, Beef Wrap, Green Onion Pancake. All of the food was good, but I think the Green Onion Pancake was a little bit too hard. The Beef Noodle Soup had a bunch of noodles and the broth was tasty! I recommend going here because it has good value and the food is pretty good. It's nothing amazing but if you ever find yourself in the area or bored with your usual places, it's worth a shot. Was good but has some room to improve as well. Also, I thought it was kinda weird that they don't have the most popular Dim Sum dishes (namely Har Gao and Siu Mai) on the menu, but after reading other reviews it seems like they are listed somewhere on the wall.

My kid was craving dumplings and this was the closest spot on our way home. Decided to stop by. So glad I did. The pork dumplings and beef wrap were delicious. Now I'm curious to return and try other items from their menu. TIP: Cash only and no dine-in service. Be patient when placing a food order because English is limited. I recommend for you to be ready with the number of the item you want order.

Cash only. They have their own take on the usual Shanghai food items which makes them very unique. You won't get the same flavor profile from typical dishes like wonton with chili oil or pan fried buns, but I personally liked it because it tastes homemade and special. The staff said she used to work at Din Tai Fung so she's definitely highly skilled in crafting their dumplings! Support local business!

We ordered bbq lamb kabob, beef noodle, wonton in spicy sauce, pan fried dumplings. EVERYTHING was so delicious!!! Must come! Cash only. 4 star because cigarette smell in the restroom....

Dim Sum craving satisfied! Great food tucked into a small shopping plaza. Worth the wait it took for the food to come out. Take out only due to Covid restrictions but I'm coming back to dine in once things reopen completely. Cash only!

If i could give this place 0 stars, I would. I have been here before today and the food is trash. I grew up in Alhambra and this place is not good dim sum. I came back today for an iced coffee and they wouldn't let me purchase without buying anything else!! Terrible service! I have never experienced this before and I am so disappointed in this place after giving them another chance.

So affordable and delicious! During the pandemic - I placed my order in person on a weekend right after they opened and was the only one there at the time. They have menus with a lot of photos at their table out front. You cannot go inside to order. They gave me an estimated 15-20 minute wait but it was closer to 30-35 minutes. Everything I ordered was so good! I got the pork and chive dumplings, wonton in chili oil, and juicy pork dumplings. Definitely will come again! Cash only and parking is free in the shared lot.

Woman was nice but the man in the kitchen does not even say hi at all just looks at you. when he came out to get something in the fridge and when he took the food out They're food looks only yummy in pictures only so don't get deceived. The food i ordered look and tasted like frozen that's just ready to cook. I wonder why i had to wait long only to find out food was not that great at all! The egg rolls says come with meat it didn't what kind of meat was that mashed meat? The siomao same thing i never saw one filled with mostly rice more than meat! This business is not going to last long with their food.

PSA: Cash only payments & majority of food is frozen with some of it being pre-packaged frozen food. I don't know why this place has such high ratings. The food is NOT fresh, none of it. Soup Dumplings skin was thick, you could smell the dough, and flavor was BARELY there. Beef Noodle was horrid. Watered down broth, campbells soup style noodles, and fatty beef. We didn't eat ANY of it after we eat had 1 bite. We also realized the meat had a green coloring to it. Disgusting. Beef wrap barely had sauce and cucumbers were 50% of the wrap and old. Scallion rice roll was smothered in sauce, with a super sweet peanut sauce to add. They use dried shrimp, not fresh in it. Lamb skewers were very fatty, at the end, we had a plate of fat left over. Maybe enough meat for 2 skewers was given, maybe. Plus the husband walked out of the kitchen and came to a freezer by the door, grabbed the skewers and walked back into the kitchen- no gloves, no plate, nada. My husband attempted to eat more of the food than I did just not to waste but once he saw that green coloring on the meat he stopped. I understand some places make certain things ahead of time which they might freeze, that's fine. But everything? This is run by a husband and wife, 1 person in the kitchen, the wife AND you do not see any stoves on or hear any cooking happening. We gave this place a try because of the reviews but it was by far the worst dining experience either of us has ever had. I honestly feel like this place is a health hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

I was a little disappointed with the food. I ordered the pork bun and won tons in chili oil/sauce. The bun was very stale and hard. I was hoping it to be soft and fluffy like the pictures and the wontons tasted different. They were more sour and barely spicy. I don't plan on trying again sadly

My family and I were in a mood to have dim sum so came to this place. All and all we liked the food but everything tasted about the same and their shumai wasn't too fresh!

They did change prices and the menu , first time trying this location . They told us 15 min and took about 25. Chili oil crab dumplings (black) had different wrapper and they were kind of gritty and had just a vinegar taste. The wrapper also got hard within 2 mins of having the container open. Chili oil wontons tasted like vinegar wontons and weren't really spicy. Chili oil needed flavor. Don't know if the dumplings were frozen or what but I don't think I will come again. Dumplings are not worth the price we did also order Xiao Long Bao and they were mediocre with that weird after taste. My entire meal was $41 and It was not worth the price at all. Never again

This is my first time giving a review to any places at all. This place was nothing but a disappointment! The food was not good and it was expensive. My siu mai was raw and tasted sour! I don't recommend this place at all!

This location is pretty small so you might have to wait a little bit if you want to dine in. My family and I enjoy coming here at least once a month for they're delicious food but we anticipate a little bit of a wait here and there.

Just FYI, Dim Sum World doesn't have a lot of options nor many Cantonese favorites, but I was impressed with what I got. My family and I shared: - Beef Noodle Soup - This was my mom's favorite. This was hearty! The beef was tender and the noodles cooked to a perfect al dente! (They definitely didn't skimp on the noodles either.) - Beef Rolls - These were awesome! The beef was well marinated and I loved the crispiness of the cucumber. The outside pancake wrap was very flakey as well. Overall a super tasty dish. - Pork and chive dumplings - These were my favorite! There was a lot of filling in each dumpling and they were very juicy. I liked that they included the Chinese black vinegar, but it was kind of a bummer that the heat from the food caused the lid to burst open, leaving most of the vinegar in the container. - Shrimp and pork shu mai - These were really good as well. (They weren't listed on the regular menu, but were featured as a special on the wall. As you can tell, I pretty much loved all four dishes. This place isn't very fast. We were told it would take 25 minutes, but it was more like a 45 minutes from the time we placed our order.

when we walked in it was empty, but we could see the owners wrapping dumplings in the kitchen. from my corner seat of the both, i could see one of the owners working to prepare our food in the kitchen. everything was made from scratch, and it sure tasted like it too! the food was very fresh, hot, and delicious when it came out. the pho was pretty good, i will say however that because this is not a pho restaurant specifically, it's not their star dish. the pork dumplings and egg rolls were amazing though! i would 100% recommend this place to friends and family and i will definitely be back. for all the food pictured, i paid about $60 which i feel is more than fair as it fed three people with leftovers.

Awesome. Cheap. Cash only. Quick memo for the food I liked: 13- spring roll 15- pan fried dumpling (this was the best) (Steam bread meat was the same with 15) Red bean pastry-- not too sweat, they made it warm for me. makes u full p quick Shrimp wantan- great soup, wantab also good

This place was suggested by a friend... So this was my first occasion to visit. First impression was it was a "dump". It's small with a crazy limited menu that was NOT a "world of dim sum" to choose from. More so it was a primarily Shanghai style joint.. look at the menu images. So we ordered Shanghai dumplings and beef noodle soup. My bit it was painfully average... Oil heavy with little beef to boast of. Taste was OK but I felt slightly nauseous ... Not quite vomiting but it was nasty. I'm sorry to be so critical... It's a bit unbelievable to see 5 star ratings here. It's completely undeserving of 5 or 4 stars. Oh well.... Except it is relatively CHEAP in pricing. $18 for our 2 dishes which we split. Yuck!

Was pleasantly surprised. 4.5 star for the food! I'm giving a 5 stat since 4.5 is not an option and I think this place has a lot of potential. I love their spicy dumplings! I highly highly recommend, the flavors was really good, the skin wasn't too thick and wasn't too soft, it was my favorite. Their meat pie was really good too. I love their meat stuffing, tasted like home made. I wasn't a big fan of their 生煎包 (pan fried bun), as much as I love the meat inside the skin was way too thick. Can't wait to come here to try other stuff.

A huge disappointment that Dim Sum World did not accept dine-in options. A group of my colleagues wanted to grab lunch here and when we entered the establishment we were told that it was take out only. This was not indicated online nor on yelp. The lady at the front door seemed unbothered and did not express any interest to apologize.

Food is delicious if you're looking for something light and fulfilling. I had the chicken skewers and spicy Dan Dan noodles. Both were yummy and had delicious flavors, not that bland chicken with no seasoning bs. The Dan Dan noodles were good had a spicy oily sauce and with bits of chopped beef I believe, on top with some scallions. Over all great place to come and eat for an average price not expensive. The place is ran by an older couple the lady is nice and productive. Come here for some good Cantonese's/Asian cuisine.

Reviews looked good so gave it a try while I was in the area. No dine-in. Take out only and cash only. Ordered wonton in chili oil, beef wrap, juicy pork dumplings, and Thai tea. Juicy pork dumplings had good soup flavor, but too much dough. Beef wrap was okay. Beef was a little dry but sauce inside was good. Cucumber was not fresh. It was rubbery. The wonton in chili oil was the downfall of my meal. The pork filling inside was still pink and raw. So gross. I was eating it at a table in the same plaza so I took it back to the restaurant. I showed it to her and she said sorry. Im not sure what I expected from them, but she just took the wontons in the plastic togo container and put it in the microwave. Two minutes later, gave it back to me in the same container that was now hot from the microwave and had cooked wilted cilantro swimming inside the chili oil. Super turned off, I took the hot plastic container back to my table. I ate it, and they were actually pretty good. However, eating raw pork filling as my first bite ruined the experience for me. I'd probably neverrr go back there. Took one sip of the Thai tea and never took another sip. Tasted like 10 pumps of sweetener.

This place is a little slice of my hometown, Shanghai. They have the absolute BEST zongzi. It's pork belly enclosed by sticky rice and fully enclosed and steamed with bamboo leaves. I'm telling you, it's better than DTF and cheaper by basically half the cost. I also LOVE their wonton soup. It tastes just like the ones from street peddlers in Shanghai. Truly makes me miss the flavors of the city on the ocean. The duo at the restaurant are also such sweet people, they give such a healthy portion. I fully intend on making a zongzi day and coming to get like 10 for friends to try.

Will be my go too for dim sum from now on from now. Service was kind and friendly. The food was hot and flavorful. With all this being affordable I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

I really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't that great. Pan fried dumplings were too thick with dough and had a meatball of pork inside that was just fine. Scallion pancakes needed salt, more scallions, and more flavor! Terribly disappointed by this one since I've never had one that I didn't like! Bad day maybe, but literally flavorless! Xiao long bao was the best item with its tasty soup, but there was a lot of dough and not a lot of pork. I wish I didn't have to put down this small local business, but I was greatly disappointed by this place after seeing all the great reviews!

Dim Sum World is a small place with limited seating, and is cash only. They offer a variety of dumpling items, some of which are unique to them. Those uncommon items are the reason to come and eat here. The crab and pork xiao long bao is flavorful. But as with all xiao long bao, if the skin rips then the soup comes out. Here 2 of the 8 ripped. In contrast, the vegetable xiao long bao had no soup in them at all, so it was just a vegetable dumpling. Not as flavorful as the other dumplings containing meat. The Sheng Jian Bao were pan-fried bao, some slightly over-fried on the bottom, and a simple pork filling. We decided to take out 2 frozen vegetable steamed bao. At $1.50 each, I would not get these again, not flavorful.

I got chicken soup dumplings and burnt my mouth a little ! But it was so good and delicious, and I think the are a family business which is nice! And the people there are so kind and treat you with respect great service!

Looking for quick and easy pan fried dumplings? Come here! They are juicy and delicious and fair priced. However if you're looking for xiao long bao, perhaps go somewhere else. Also, they are cash only - so be forewarned. They give the tiniest container of dumpling sauce (soy sauce+vinegar). I mean really it's probably only a teaspoon worth so ask for more. And if you love chili sauce, be sure to ask for that, too. I ordered to-go and it was pretty quick, about 10 min wait. While I was there, there were two other parties dining-in. I wanted the scallion soup but they sold out for the day! Be sure to get here early for specific menu items - I came through maybe an hour before closing.

Small place with friendly staff and only 4 tables (2 - four tops, and 2 - two tops). This used to be Rui Hua, which served a variety of noodle, rice and dumpling dishes. Looks like they renamed the place and modified the concept to be more dumplings, beef pho, stewed beef noodle soups, and other finger foods. The bowls of pho and stewed beef noodle soups are huge and very generous with the amount of beef as well. There was also plenty of broth as well. The noodle soups were solid. Xiao Long Baos (soup dumplings) and the Pan Fried Pork Bun (Shen Jian Bao) aren't bad, but the filling could be made better to produce more broth inside as they cook. Boiled dumplings and wontons are solid and good. The wontons in chile oil, is just that in a red chili oil, not the red chili oil with the dried chile flakes in it, which has a bigger depth of flavor. Their pan fried chive pockets are huge and very good as well. The beef roll, while tasty, was not as well made as other Shanghainese places. Their specialty, as well, are these little baked flaky pastry rounds that are fille with either red bean (sweet), or daikon (savory) or ground pork (savory). They're tasty be can be a little dry. Cash only for this place. Nice place to grab a quick bite of either beef noodles or dumplings/wontons, or for both. They also sell frozen dumplings and wontons in bulk as well. 3.5 stars, rounding it up to 4.
