~ Worth the wait!! ~They have a kiosk in front to get your order in faster. I live in LA but I always come here to get dim sum when i'm in the area. It's small inside. MUST GET:- Cucumber salad - Har gow (clear shrimp dumplings) - Custard bun- Sui mai (yellow dumpling)

Reasonably priced and delicious dim sum! My friend brought me here once and I got to try a variety of their dim sum and it was pretty good for a takeout dim sum place.My review is specifically for their zong, or chinese tamales with green bean. I've been looking for a place that makes the kind of zong that I grew up eating, and they make that here! Love getting these for my zong cravings :) The buns here are delicious too! Tried the cha siu and the dai bao (taishan bun) -- both super delicious! Would definitely come again and get more of these to freeze up.

The secret is out and the best place to get dim sum in the neighborhood now goes to Dim Sum Bistro. I can't vouch for the entire menu but navigating hole in the wall spots like this, usually each owns a handful of the staples you seek as you venture through the Chinese aunties and uncles throughout Chinatown fighting over cheap groceries and Chinese foods to start your Saturday or Sunday strong. I primarily pick up the shu mai, har gao, and baked barbecue pork buns. All seem to hit harder than all the spots nearby that we've tasted over a lifetime of living in the Bay Area. The shu mai are big and flavorful and lack fillers like bittermeon that I find at other places that I'm not the biggest fan of when I'm eating my **meat** dumplings (you know what I'm sayin'?). The barbecue pork buns are soft, chewy and have the perfect amount of barbecue pork inside and surpassed quality and taste from chinatowns here to Oakland. No matter when I've gone, there's always a line but orders are fulfilled quickly and I'm usually in and out in 5-15 minutes. As a Chinese American and look around at the people waiting in line and I love seeing all the different faces there that aren't just Chinese like myself, and I smile to myself that these people know what up and the neighborhood secret is out. And I love it.

Pleasantly surprised as I was looking for my peanut mochis. Lo and behold, I found them here. I got so excited, I ordered 2 orders... and got 6 plump mochis that were chewy and very up to par. They had a machine to order, which was kinda cool. Ambiance was small and cozy. I look forward to returning to try other items!

Came here during the Chinese new year street fair and they were fairly busy. The bbq pork buns (4.5/5) were amazing! For sure will get them again. We also got the beef siu mai (3.5/5) and it was good and had a slight orange taste to it which was interesting.

We were staying in the area and decide to get a cheap and wonderful lunch at Dim Sum Bistro. I can only speak to what we got which was custard balls and these wonderful dim sum cups. They had hot broth and the bottom of the cup and was perfect for an on the go or park lunch situation like we enjoyed. The wait for the dim sum was quite long. I have no idea what goes into making dim sum but my custard balls took like 2 minutes while the dim sum took 15. Well worth it. I think we got very lucky and beat the crowd.

After 36hrs exploring China town, I can 100% confirm this is the BEST dim sum. Great selection and you know it's legit cause all the other Chinese gather here. It's super fresh and the staff are so sweet. It's a tiny little spot, no sitting area. In my opinion that makes it better cause it truly is a hole in the wall. Seriously the best Dim S, they have take out containers and provide condiments and chopsticks. 10/10! I'll have dreams sound their chicken bao bun.

I stopped by Dim Sum Bistro on a Sunday morning as brunch. I saw it had pretty good reviews so I was looking forward to it. The inside was quite busy, as in there was a line for the orders.I ordered the usual dim sum fare: siu mai, har gow, deep fried pork puff, chicken feet, and wide noodles with egg. The chicken feet took a really long time, so by the time we got the food, it was a little coldThe siu mai and har gow were decent, not bad but nothing to write home about. I really enjoyed the fried pork puff, though the filling amount was a bit inconsistent. For the chicken feet, flavor was great and was perfectly soft. The wide noodles with egg was interesting, I had not had it before. I thought it was just alrightI do think the price is really good, overall $20 for all the food we ordered

I felt that I should give my opinion from today's experiences. I went to buy some dim sum and inquired about their stamp card since they had problems previously (4 times) so they can't stamp their frequent card for me. When I went there this afternoon to purchase again. I was told stamping card is now available so I gave them the 4 receipts I had previously plus the one from today. Before I walk out, somehow the cashier who took my order called me back stating that I need to write on your receipts that we stamped the total amount this time not to inquire about stamping the card again. I was pissed with the statement that cashier gave me. Is she trying to say that I'm a dishonest person? If that's the case then she's trying to push the customer away. I honestly didn't like those kind of comments when I'm a honest person just like my parents. SIDE NOTE: They're the ones who isn't honest because I wasn't given the steam BBQ pork bun that I paid for so I had to walk back to let them know. I wonder if this is how most chinese people do business in chinatown. Very rude and inconsiderate!
