Hey, it's a mom & pop style togo dim sum place! Everytime I go to the east of LA passing El Monte, stop by here and get a lot of dim sum! It may not be good as the actual set restaurant place, but the price and decent food are the deal! I can't complain at all! I love their dim sum!

Small hole in the wall, mom and pop shop. I didn't want to come in, but after the reviews I read, I went for it. They did not disappoint. My god the food was so good!! The Peach Green Tea was delicious! Not watered down either.

Discovered this place after came across fellow Yelpers’ review. I grew up in this area and coming back to get dim sum seemed to be a bit strange. Many years ago, we were the only Asian family in this area. Now dim sum? ?

I was a bit flabbergasted by its per dish price. No body has $3.98 for dim sum nowadays( it used to be $2.89). Most of the restaurants sell their dim sum at least $5 a piece.

But are the dim sums good? Decent and a good value for the money. Some dim sum items are very good and some are not so good. So it’s a hit and miss with the food. But if you know what to order then you will enjoy the food here.

The restaurant currently serves for take out only. So pickup an ordering sheet and check the following food:

Pineapple buns are good. The bread is soft and the fillings are delicious.

Soy sauce fried noodle and the fried rice noodle( 银针粉）are also highly recommend.

For our lunch today, we ordered sesame balls which were excellent and crispy.

Char Siu buns were not too bad from lunch order so were the char siu pastry.

The followings were not that good:

Gluttonous rice wrapped in lotus leaf-very little filling and not too much of a taste,

Siu Mai - strange taste,

Chow zhou dumpling- totally missed this one as the skins were so thick and not much of fillings inside either.

Got to go back to try some other dim sum and food to nail down the good ones to order. Got to support local businesses.

One of the most affordable dim sums. The drive is a trek if you don’t live in the east ish area of LA but for what you get this was a nice affordable to go option. I wouldn’t have known about this but a friend going that way offered to pick some up for me, saying it’s her auntie’s go-to dim sum place. When someone says it’s their auntie’s go to anything, you should pay attention!! Aunties know. Aside from the fried rice and shrimp, the rest of the food were around $2.88 more or less (and I ordered two orders of egg tart cuz I didn’t know how many i would get in one order). W head food for days!!

The dimsums are average for takeouts. The ingredients don’t seem that good The 山竹牛肉 beef balls seemed to have little beef, and they are probably one of the worst I’ve had in my life. The shrimp dumpings 蝦餃 are ok. The shrimp rice rolls 鮮蝦腸粉 is not great either. The 鹹水角 is good
