Dim Sum Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“Excited to experience dim sum at night! That's the best part about this place. Dim sum anytime. This is one of their newest location. We're so glad we came here. Parking was insane but we got lucky and parked by a nearby lot. We even met the owner Michael. What a nice man! Two of my friends have tried their SF location so they already knew what to order. Lucky me! Everything was mouth watering delicious. The wait outside was not long at all and we came early by 6 pm. There's 2 levels of seatings and I highly suggest to ask for the upper floor seating. Much cooler up there on a warm day/night. The servers were so nice. I definitely remember William. Checked on us often and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We had 7 dim sum selections and there was plenty for the 3 of us. We even had a mini to go box at the end. The price is $$. I can't wait to go back here again.“

“I love this place. It's small and not super noticeable, but the food is so yummy and reminiscent of my childhood. They sell both frozen and ready to eat dumplings/buns, so I'll usually take some frozen dumplings home for a quick and easy meal. What I've tried so far: Frozen pork dumplings--20 for $10. Must have. Steamed taro buns--so soft and fluffy. Not too sweet. Steamed BBQ pork buns--a more subtle flavor than most dim sum places. I find it refreshing. Shrimp har gow--nothing special, but enjoy with black vinegar The owner is super friendly and is a one man job. He always makes sure you have sauces if you need them and offers directions on how to cook frozen items. Note that there are only a couple small tables inside. It's really more of a takeout place.“

“Everything here hit the spot for me! All the food was so comforting for such a cheap price. I'd definitely recommend any of the beef stew noodle soups, congees, and steamed rice noodles! It's a lowkey spot and all the food came out super quick!“

“Excellent service! Recommend Peking Duck, whole crab with vermicelli & prime steak with mushrooms. Excellent veggie (Yu Chou) stir fried with garlic cloves. Food was well seasoned but not salty nor greasy. Small'ish dining room so reservations are a must“

“Bund is, hands down, my favorite restaurant in SF. The food is fantastic, and the women working there are lovely--friendly, funny, and accommodating. I've always found the food here to be super flavorful, balanced, fresh, and not greasy. Whoever is at the wok in the back gets all my respect. I ended up coming here out of sheer luck. Another bustling, well-known restaurant establishment across the street was my original destination. When I saw how long the line was, I decided to leave. Trying to figure out where to go next, a man passes by me. He turned to me and said, "You gotta go here. It's SOOO good." The rest is history. My only regret is not discovering this culinary treasure sooner, lol. Now, I'm spreading the word about Bund, the great restaurant.“

“What a great experience! I especially love the chicken Goyza, pork dim sum and the Xiao Long Bao. I can’t wait to go back! Chef Suz ATX“

“Wow best dim sum place we've ever been. Every dish is delicious. It was so good we came and had breakfast here every day we were in san francisco. Duck buns, string beans, tea, dumplings.. I would recommend all of them. Service is fast and food is good. They even had nice pudding desserts. Inside is nice and they are very busy so we tried to come here early to avoid wait. If you are traveling to SF you must eat here!“

“Cute place. Went for lunch and it was very quiet. Nice and relaxing. A decent amount of tables inside. And it’s very bright and airy.The Kung pao chicken wasn’t spicy at all. It tasted very good though, and the rice was cooked perfectly.The Shanghai soup dumplings had great flavor. And are on the small side, you can eat them in one bite. The shrimp tempura was very crispy. The vegetable pot stickers had lots of veggies packed in like corn and spinach.The bubble tea I got just tasted like milk. It was pretty large though and I got double boba and the cheese foam. The boba was super fresh and very good.I liked that they had a bathroom but the toilet water was brown and all on the inside of the toilet was brown and it grossed me out.Though overall I def recommend!“

“I ordered online for pickup. When I arrived, they were out of one of the items so asked me if a substitution would be ok. He suggested the fried meat dumpling, and I'm glad he did, as they were especially delicious and perfectly fried. They even threw in an order of sesame balls for the extra wait, which was a really kind gesture. The dumplings here were great, especially the soup dumplings and the chicken and corn dumplings. Overall, I was very pleased with the food we got here!“

“Came to see Motley Crue concert and stopped for lunch to spend time with my Wife. The dim sum and shumau were very delicate and wonderfully prepared. Every bite of our meal was delicious and perfectly prepared.“

“This place had a upscale vibe with great music and attentive staff. Everyone was very friendly and I had the bbq pork buns and Pork Sheng Jian Bao and everything was SOOO AMAZING! I wish I lived closer I would be broke from eating here everyday of my life! The bbq pork buns were so fluffy with a hint of sweetness and a savory inside of bbq pork. The soup dumplings had a crunchier pan fried bottom with flavorful soup and meat on the inside. The Oolong tea was very good as well I didn't need sugar at all it was just good quality tea. They even brought a dessert sesame ball for free at the end of my meal and i left so full and satisfied! If you read to the bottom of this, hesitate no further and just do yourself a favor and check this place out, you WONT regret it.“

“Food was impeccable, the only thing that wasn't excitingly flavorful was the tea which was to be expected. The staff did a tremendous job of serving us amazing food. The actual service was a tad bit slow, however if you don't worry about that then I highly recommend this place. If I was in the area, I would immediately return. Whether you have kids or not, for AMAZING Chinese food this is the place to be.Dietary restrictions: Whatever your need, I'm sure they would be flexible per your request. If unsure, call before hand.Parking: It's downtown so I would park at the closest parking garage then mosey on over.Kid-friendliness: They did an excellent job of serving our children and we had a lot of them.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for entry and exit of restaurant.“

“I loved this take-out dim sum restaurant! I mean reallly loved it. The food was fresh and tasted wonderful! Prices were reasonable. A store owner on another street saw our food container and asked if we had gotten our food at this place. She said it is a definite favorite among the locals!“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“The Dumplings are amazing!“

“Best dim sum in SF. Shark fin dumpling and deep fried pork puff are the best items. Low prices. No seating. To go only. Closes early, at 4 pm.“

“amazing variety of dim sum. never disappoints“

“A must-visit Chinese restaurant in the city for visitors to the Bay Area…great food with outdoor dining!“

“The food is excellent, the service is what you might expect at an extremely busy dim sum restaurant. Short & not always kind but efficient none the less. They can accommodate a large party & that’s the only way to eat dim sum!“

“First off, this is a literal hole in the wall. I came here on the Chinese Dragon Parade day due to recommendation of my dad. He wanted to try it so my family did. Fair warning, this restaurant seats like 10 tables at best. And mind you like 4 seater tables only with a couple of two seaters. So it's really small. Hence the one star. Also cleanliness is something to be desired. But, if you look past all that, the food is absolutely amazing. It's rare to find a clay pot rice restaurant and the fact this place has plenty of variations is awesome. Heads up that the wait to get the food is about 20 min for clay pot rice since they need time to make it. We ordered 5 clay pot rices (large size, there is a small size). We ordered chicken + preserved meat, spare ribs + preserved meat, two orders of frog, and one chicken and mushroom. Everything was spectacular. Their dim sum looked average so we didn't order them but considering they're known for the clay pot rice, definitely come here for that.“

“Trust me. Asian flavors at its best. Be surprised with real Asian hustling and bustling. If you're looking for top service, you won't get it here. Pay the price and go elsewhere. Cash only.Tons of dishes to choose from. Tons of dim sum as well. White rice with 3 entrees, $5.50!! Dim sum rarely more than $3. A hearty meal for 3.....<$26! Where do you find such deal post COVID??If you like the information, please "like". Thanks“

“Good food. Good service.“

“I had a craving for fried taro dumplings and sesame balls. Both were in the glass counter near the entrance. I bought them to go and ate it at a nearby park. Both were still warm, super delicious and affordable. 3 taro dumplings and 3 sesame balls for $9. I would definitely get this combo again the next time I'm in the area.“

“- nothing fancy, never a line ..Not ‘FAST Food’. a little bit of patience cuz everything is steamed or stir-fry to order .. takes about 10 min for ur order to be ready ?Though place is a not ‘pack’ busy type .. they definitely have their stream of regulars coming in & out .. just a small mom/pop .. enough business for a 2-3 people operation ❣️“

“Hot and sour soup, Pan fried soup bao, Peking duck potstickers and Sesame chicken were very good. Our server was friendly, fast and gave great recommendations. Restaurant was clean and had great music and ambience. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“Good value for the money. And the dim sum was nice. We had four different items, three pieces, each, for a total of $13. Was plenty for the two of us for a morning snack. There's really nowhere to sit so we walked about a block to a nice park and sat and ate.“

“Good duck and noodle soup!“

“Delicious food, great ambiance and friendly service!“

“Locale giapponese, menù pure. Porzioni americane, molto abbondanti. Servizio veloce. Prezzi molto contenuti. Bene arredato, con un cortiletto attrezzato a giardino tzen. Carino!“

“Food was good service was great“

“Really nice and authentic local food. A local recommended a few dishes to us, including the onion bread and the pork and sesame dim suns. Very nourishing, super cheap. Very good experienceFantastic local food. Very lovely staff, great experience. Onion bread is really good and pork dim sum too. We had a very good time here“

“Since I couldn't get used to the time difference, I went every morning at 7am and didn't have to wait. This is a great value for money house. The taste is truly excellent for the price. And, the taste is similar to what I had in Hong Kong. The taste is close to the original and does not taste like American Chinese food! Highly recommended for those who can't adjust to jet lag!“

“No event at Chase Center that day, so it was pretty quiet. I've eaten at their other location (and ordered from them a shocking number of times) and it's as good as ever. They make literally zero things I don't like-- it's all so good! Great with a big group, they have a ton of group seating and then you can order EVERYTHING. Drinks are great too (try the Faerie Fire if you like spicy). A+!“

“I came here with my parents for lunch and there's lot of open seating. My parents wanted to come here since they missed the eel clay pot rice they grew up eating in China. Even at 12pm there were only 2 other tables that were occupied. They have a large selection on the menu with many chefs and house special dishes. They also serve dim sum here if you're not sure what type of Chinese food you want. Yellow Eel Clay Pot Rice (4.5/5) - the rice was well made, and the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot made for great contrast in texture! It's very close to traditional yellow eel clay pot rice that you can find in China! Steamed White Eel with Black Bean Sauce (5/5) - best dish of the meal! The eel was the perfect texture, slightly crunchy (in a good way) and not mushy. Flavors were bold and nostalgic! Taishan Five Flavor Goose (3.5/5) - the flavors were great but the goose itself wasn't great quality (most likely can't compare to what you find in China) Green String Beans (5/5) - they were just right! Well seasoned in a garlicky stir fry, crispy and light. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Chinese eel or clay pot dishes, you should check out Taishan Restaurant! Fun Fact: They have a karaoke room in the back!“

“la comida es deliciosamente exquisita fresca cocinada al instante y exelente servicio al cliente 100% recomendado“

“Perfect place to grab satiating lunch and dinner when on-the-go AND on-a-budget. Discovered this place on a trip and have been coming back ever since. Communication can be quite tricky but you can also point out what you want and they’re very generous with their portions. The food is really good from the fried chicken/pork to the rice, noodles, vegetable stir fry, shrimp, etc. The lines can be long during lunch rush but they work to get you in & out as quickly as possible“

“Delicious and fast serving. Great accommodation.“

“This place changed my life. Earlier in the day we walked by this restaurant (we had already eaten a full dinner), but the nicest man said he would stay open for us if we wanted to do some shopping before coming back. He was so enthusiastic that we picked up 3 other members from our group and came back just for the owner to convince us to get the “all you can eat” food service for a flat rate charge. Throughout the meal he kept bringing us dishes at a speedy rate. Some of the dishes we didn’t even order just so we could try them (at no additional cost). I don’t know if I have ever had such a great experience at a restaurant in San Francisco. Everyone should come here, even if it’s just for the experience“

“Y’all this place surprised me by how tasty it is and how close to my house it is!! Get here early!! The har gow had a deliciously tender and flavorful filling with a SUPER THIN WRAPPER 10/10 the thinly wrapped ones are hard to find and my favorite. I also tried some meat dumplings with a little bit of corn wrapped in wonton skin, very flavorful and juicy as well. Sesame balls were very crisp on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside, very tasty as well.It’s easier to order here if you know mandarin or Cantonese, but the folks here know enough English that it’s ok if you don’t.“

“Used to be old D&A Cafe. But the funny thing is that it is now under the ownership of the bbq/roast duck lady from a super market that my mom used to go to. The food here is good and the portions are big. We usually get the wontons only soup and then the 3 items as it comes with soup. Their braised fish with tofu is amazing. Highly recommend. Their fried spare ribs / sweet and sour spareribs and green beans with chicken is a good staple as well. The service is fast. That is all you need. Ambience is nice but again remain the same as old D&A cafe. They got newer bench and tables though.“

“This is the first time I came to New Moon Restaurant. I’m very impressed with the services, the quality of the food and the price is the cheapest around the area. This owner’s wife is very honest and friendly. I accidentally gave her too much money and she gave it back to me. Moving forward, I will always come back to this restaurant.“

“This place looks a little dingy, seems like it used to be restaurant, but now they just do takeaway. The dimsum is not premium restaurant stuff, but good hearty home style, presentation not so great, but tastes good. You could get a meal for under $10 here, but "splurge" a little and you'll be really full.“

“Really authentic dim sum spot.Has dine in but can be to go as well. They speak some English and Cantonese. Maybe mandarin too. Prices are pretty cheap but can get high if you order a lot. The wait was not bad at all since I had a pretty big order.They didn’t have centruy egg congee and the other one wasn’t as good but all the other food was pretty decent.If you haven’t tried, I recommend.“

“Ordered the Shanghai Dumplings, potstickers and chicken chow mein with tea. Noodles were absolutely delicious, dumplings and potstickers were cooked perfectly with great flavour. Service was great. Barely anyone in there on a Friday night which was surprising since the food was so good.“

“The staffs are very friendly and nice, compared to other Chinese restaurants. we tried the duck one time (take out) and even after a few hours, it tastes like it just came out of the oven; it was delicious. I recommend that you try this place if you're in the area!“

“A fun little dim sum spot in the heart of SF Chinatown. Food is incredibly fresh, made in the front kitchen for all to see. We had a highly responsive server and ordered a decent spread of food from dumplings to seafood to noodles. I really like the Crispy shrimp rice noodles roll and the shrimp dumpling. The beef chow fun was somewhat dry. It was very tasty and filling.“

“Their egg blossom soup is the best . I've only gotten soup here but the best I've had coast to coast hands down. So fresh, add veggies and extra green onions. You won't be disappointed, oh and the vibe is real hip and cool too.“

“Ordered on DoorDash this week, first time customer and the food was delicious. I ordered honey walnut shrimp, good portion, flavor (not soggy, not too sweet), BBQ pork buns - tasty & crab wontons - crispy. Probably going to order again and try other dishes.“

“Yummy Dim Sum & Fast Food in San Francisco offers a flavorful dim sum experience. I tried their combo with BBQ pork, roast duck, Hainan chicken, Thai-style chicken feet, spiced pork feet, and secret shredded chicken. All of them tasted decent! I look forward to trying other items next time.“
