"Great decent dim sum! Would come again! Walkable distance from the packing district! We were a group of 6 and tried siu mai, soup the garlic string beans were so decadent with lots of garlic. The garlic fragrance literally cleared my sinus. The soup dumplings were flavorful and full of delicious broth. We had a person with dietary preferences, and they were very accommodating, putting sauce on the side."

"This place is a staple in Newport and has been around forever. Once you go, it will become obvious why. The food is clean and healthy without losing the flavor. The portions are huge and they have a full bar. The service is great and the food is quick. The ambiance fits the vibes of a lunch spot more than a date night. I highly recommend trying their lunch special. Overall, a great spot for good food that doesn't break the bank."

"Came here after Knotts berry farms for a quick lunch. Service is amazing. Clean restaurant overall. Order at the register. We got Soup dumplings, chicken wonton with chili sauce, chicken chow mein and string beans. String beans were our fave! The chicken wontons had a weird consistency. Chow mein was simple and no veggies- a bit saucy but not terrible."

"Saw a viral tiktok mentioning this place and had to stop in. So glad we did. The ambiance is nice inside, and everyone working was great. We ordered the wontons in chili oil, juicy dumplings, pan fried dumplings, mongolian beef, crab rangoons, and spicy beef noodle soup. Everything was delicious. The soup dumplings and mongolian beef were BOMB. Crab rangoons are my guilty pleasure and these were some of the best I've ever had. On top of that, all of that food only cost $75. Good quality, good portions, and good prices. 10/10 would recommend."

"I have a deep appreciation for dumplings, and this establishment certainly met my expectations. It's a sit-down restaurant that does not require reservations. The ordering process involves marking the menu to select desired items. The menu features a diverse range of options, including appetizers, entrees, boba tea, and other Asian cuisine staples. We opted to forego the entrees, as we had dinner plans elsewhere, and instead focused on the dumplings and appetizers. The lamb skewers were slightly dry but boasted an excellent dry rub. My son thoroughly enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls. The steamed chicken dumplings were exceptional, particularly when paired with the spicy sauce, and I was impressed by the soy sauce infused with ginger slices. The service was prompt and efficient, and the restaurant maintained a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it's a great casual dining option, and the outdoor seating area features charming greenery."

"Since green china closed down, this spot has the best Hot & Sour soup in the area. I've had it a handful of times and it always hits. They actually use Woodear mushrooms, which is a must for this soup.I can also recommend the shrimp and pork wontons! Make sure to add extra chili oil and ask for the Chinese black vinegar!!(Will try the fried pork buns next time!)"

"TIP: my husband and I decided on dim sum last minute and was able to order with a person but there was 25 min wait due to them being busy, to avoid any wait order online is the easiest way to go.Located at Twenty Eight restaurant, park in the Google/ Twenty Eight Parking structure.. don't worry about paying as you will get validation at the restaurant EATS: Shu Mai Flight : (2) shu mai, (2) shu mai w. quail egg,(2) shu mai w. lobster, (2) chicken shu mai with house chili oil - this was probably the best dish for us and I liked that we were able to get a taste of the different shu mai that they offered, my favorite was with the quail egg which gave it more richness in each bite Rice Roll with ShrimpGai Lan-(steamed chinese broccoli) - both these dishes were tasty and traditional dim sum items Turnip Cake - I was a bit let down that the outside was burnt, you can definitely tell in my picture lolShrimp Chili Noodles- these were flat noodles with house chili oil and shrimp... the noodles were on the dryer side and overcooked, it also came with an old lime and cilantro that looked like it was going bad. Overall the food was decent, I give this place a 3.5 out of 5. Spending over $70 on 5 dishes is kinda steep in my opinion and there were some areas where they missed the mark in quality. FYI we didn't get any soy sauce thinking they would provide that to us and we only got hot mustard because we asked, so make sure if you try this place to ask for both! If I were to try this place again I would only come back for the shu mai."

"I don't know what people are saying and why this place is considered bad. Ya'll got trash for a palate. Maybe it's because they're used to eating cheap flavored dim sum with lower quality ingredients that's overly filled with MSG and salt.Sorry not sorry. Everyone that says China garden, seafood cove, capital, or the closed down place, Sam woo, is better has trash or mid taste. Perhaps the flavor is too refined for some people to appreciate.From dim sum, to daikon cake, to the noodle soup, they're all pleasantly fresh and well flavored. Not overly sweet, salty, or cotton mouth filled with msg. This is how quality dim sum should taste.The ambiance is nice and not grimey, dusty, and sticky like the other places. I have nothing bad to say about the service other than average. It's not a five star restaurant service but at least it's better than other places."

"Went to their happy hour and it was amazing. What is better than 40% off and $2.99 drinks? Even though I'm just in town visiting I'm making sure I get to go again before I leave. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was awesome! I definitely recommend!"

"If you're in the Tustin area and craving dim sum, this place definitely stands out. There aren't many options around here, so it's a solid choice. I'd give it a 4-star rating for Tustin, but if you were to head down to more authentic spots like Bolsa or Westminster this would be more of a 2-star experience.The dim sum is decent, nothing mind-blowing, but everything is fresh and served hot. The quality is good for what you can find in Tustin, but it lacks that "wow factor" you get at the more traditional, bustling spots.As for service, it's pretty typical of many dim sum places staff can come off as a bit rude, which seems to be a common theme in many of these spots."

"Here's a long overdue updated review of The Dim Sum (formerly Dim Sum Co)? I'm not sure if their name really changed... but it is changed here on Yelp.Food taste and quality wise, it is still the same as it was when I started coming here five years ago. Prices have gone up, but not more than other places around. This place is still cheaper than everywhere I've seen. Also, they make the best siu mai in my opinion. I love placing my order online for pickup. I always reheat my food at home, so it doesn't bother me whether the dim sum is piping hot or not. Something to note is that they charge you for their sate chili oil when you order online... and they even have a sign out front that says that. However, they always give it to me when I ask without charging... so, that's pretty cool!Parking here is still stressful during busy times and there is no where to sit down."

"Just a lil spot located in a big strip shopping mall near HomeDepot. As you pull in, you see the line outside. Don't let that stop you. It has large groups wwait outside until all members arrive to be seated. Otherwise, I jumped on waiting list from Yelp app. Upon entering we were greeted and seated. It was lunch time on Saturday and it was busy. Our host brought us hot tea immediately upon taking our seats. We checked out menu and placed our order:mixed of items that were so good! I recommend the beef fried pot stickers, the juicy chicken dumplings and combination of noodles. Noodles was a meal in itself! We had left overs as they serve big dish,so sharing is advised! I snapped a few pictures for your enjoyment"
