Dim Sum King Master

Obligatory, I was craving dim sum and specifically chicken feet. I walked and was greeted with friendliness that wasn't overwhelming. I got my chicken feet and egg tarts. Both are delicious, and I will definitely be coming back when I need my dim sum fix.Parking is pretty plentiful, and the environment is very clean. :)

I'm back y'all.In today's world, a dim sum joint is needed. Meeting up with family for Sunday tea or just want a casual fried siu mai on the way to Vegas, definitely this is the spot. Blasting away Rhianna and Kanye in the background, the family running the shop is top notch. Yeah there some growing pains, but they learning and growing as they go. An innocent "please bear with us, staff in training" is all I needed to know that this food is going to be highly decent and humble. Ordered the shrimp dumpling and the beef balls. Shrimp dumplings were fantastic for the price. Beef balls (ground beef shaped in to a ball - steamed meatball with water chestnuts and flavored with aged mandarin peel) were HUGE AND super flavorful. Got the turnip cake and saved it for breakfast the next day. Lastly got a Duck and Cha Siu (BBQ PORK Chinese) rice platter (choose 2 meats) and the owner was nice enough to slip in some of the best parts of their soy sauce chicken. 4.7/5 - Highly decent dim sum joint in the West Covina area. Bring your family and be nice to the family that runs the joint!

Place is clean and staff are friendly. There was a steady stream of dine in guests and take out orders, so it took a while for our own take out order. We walked to Haven City and checked out the Lunar New Year decorations. When we returned, about 15 minutes, our take out was ready.There is a new menu, a couple of the items are no longer available from the old menu: shrimp and chive dumplings, and pan fried taro cake (disappointed)Food was good (see pic!)! One of the siu mai had a tough chewy bit (tendon maybe?)Would return!

1/12/25 - We arrived before 12 noon on a Sunday and luckily our party of 9 was seated in less than 10 minutes. It's a small spot, meant for parties of 6 at the most, but they accommodated our party by combining a couple tables for us. After 12 noon, a lot more parties ranging from 2 to 6 people started showing up, so it did get busier and the wait time for a table went up to 20-30 minutes. If you want to go here for lunch, definitely get here before noon for a short wait. Also, it is quick dine-in/to-go style and NOT cart dim sum!Overall, the food tasted good! Once it got busier, the service slowed down to the point where we had finished all the food on our table, but were still waiting on a couple dishes to come out. Because of how long it was taking, we asked them not to bring those dishes out anymore and just ordered some sesame balls for dessert. The manager came out and apologized for the delay and still gave us one of the dishes we were originally waiting on free of charge. It was approximately $130 to feed 9 people.In regards to service, although it slowed down when the restaurant got busier, there are multiple signs stating "Employees in training. Please bear with us." so it didn't bother us. However, I was bothered by some customers who would stand literally in the middle of the restaurant while waiting to be seated. I thought it was disrespectful for them to stand inside right next to tables of people dining instead of waiting outside like the others until their turn.Our Order:Shrimp Har Gow (4 pcs) - $5.68 x3Shiu Mai (5 pcs) - $5.68 x3Steamed Chicken Feet - $5.68 x2Rice Noodle Roll w/ Shrimp - $5.38 x3Steamed Chicken & Mushroom Buns (3 pcs) - $5.38Gailan or You Choi w/ Oyster Sauce - $13.99Chicken Chow Fun - $13.99Half a Roasted Duck - $19.00Sesame Balls - $5.38 x2

Finally they opened!! Stop by dim sum king on thanksgiving day to get some dim sum for brunch at home with the family. Dim sum king is conveniently located in hong kong plaza (formerly known, as the signage has changed with no new sign up yet). Which has haven city food court. Dim sum kong was already busy when i arrived with dine in dinners and to go order patrons waiting in line. Wait was not too long probably about five to ten minutes. Placed our order and was told the wait would be 30 min since they had to make some of the dishes. They were quite busy and from other reviews it seems they have improved their operation and had extra hands on deck. For dine in there was one person working the floor so she was busy there and also helping hand out to go orders when available. We waited and got our food after roughly 45 min. Which was totally fine since it was in fact thanksgiving day so was grateful they were open and for us to try their dim sum. The food was delicious and the size of the items were definitely larger than some dim sum places which was a plus as each dish is $5.xx. With today's inflation is sadly on par for what dim sum costs these days. Everything tasted as it should and if not better than some dim sum places. I especially like the law mai gey which is a staple for me to order at dim sum as its my dad's favorite thing to eat. The chinese sausage is about 2" long which is amazing as other places give you 1" or shorter and the egg is plenty as well making it a very delicious meal. My family and i enjoyed the meal and look forward to ordering more dim sum in the future. The only bummer is that they open at 9 am so i cannot order dim sum before going to work. Other than that i highly recommend dim sum king for some local dim sum eatery, especially if you are looking for to go options.

Ordered to go and their rice noodle roll was slimy! Ewww! I've been to so many dim sum places and this is the first time I've witnessed slimy rice noodles. It's as if it's been sitting there for days. Disgusting! I was scared of eating the rest after that. The other food seemed ok but the rice noodle roll ruined my appetite. Please look at the video to see the nasty slime. The rice noodles are clumped together because it's been sitting there for so long it morphed into one.If you value your health, please choose another place to go to.

Really nice dim-sum dining with friendly service. I only wish I got a roast duck to-go but maybe next time, I was just too full! I ordered the mixed platter with roast duck and steamed chicken, plus sio mai , shrimp har gow, turnip cake, custard tarts, and bbq steamed buns. Honestly ordered too much but it was worth it because it was so delicious! I want to come back and try the rice noodle rolls. Love this local spot, would recommend if you're in the area.

Very excited that a dim sum shop just opened in West Covina but it definitely needs some improvement. The interior looked fine as we were just getting takeout. This restaurant recently opened and there is a sign on display that says "employees in training" and to be patient. It seems to be a family ran business since the employees in training, cashier and packer, both looked really young and inexperienced. We tried to order with the cashier but she insisted on us filling out a form when we were only ordering Hargow and Shumai. There is a little kid running around and yelling by the food in the back. The cashier touched the food orders while handling cash. There is another boy who helped pack our order with his bare hands and did not wear gloves. We watched them pack our orders very slowly and it just seemed unhygienic that the packer and cashier were both handling our food with no gloves. They were kind, but very slow and seemed to be confused with our order. When I brought the Hargow and shumai home, I noticed the paper boxes were already damp and breaking. One of the shumai seemed to have mold or something on it? However, the Hargow and shumai were a pretty good size and tasted good as well. Some of the shumai had some hard pieces and the Hargow shrimp kept falling out of the rice paper but were still yummy nonetheless. Cleanliness and service needs improvement, but I believe with more time and training, they will be solid! Hope to be back to try more of their things.

Love this place. Highly recommended it!Now we can have Chinese food every day!Everything is freshly made!

Their food is really good but the Gailan with oyster sauce is a bit hard for my liking.
