Dim Sum Express

There’s a lot of food to pick here and some is hit and miss. I’ll start off by saying to avoid the chow mein. It does the rest of the food an injustice. Their pork dumplings are so juicy and fat, it’s amazing. Their pot stickers are equally savory. The orange chicken had all the right flavors, but some of it just needed to be a bit crunchier. It bordered on that soft steamed feel but it was still delicious.

Update on 8/19/23. The food quality is still good, but like everything else the prices have gone up a lot. See attached menu with prices. I still purchase from here but with the increased cost, I give more thought to what and how much I order. There’s a parking lot in the back but sometimes it’s full from other businesses or nearby residents. Still cash only. Ever since Covid they got rid of the few outdoor tables they had on the side. *****original review****** My go to place for Dim Sum takeout when all I want are the basics. Good sized items to go along with good quality. They are fast at making what you order and haven't really seen long lines here. I wish they offered a few more options, but what they do offer is solid. Aside from the Dim Sum items, they have lunch plates, but have only tried a few of them.

Enjoying many different locations for "Dim Sum" and after nearly most of my childhood growing up in Monterey Park always seeing this spot while driving by. Took about 30+ years to finally give it a try. Before I review this particular location just want to make a PSA. Please be sure to take cash when you visit. Cash only here! To my surprise Dim Sum Express has one of the best Dim Sum in the city of Monterey Park and even throughout Southern California. My wife and I love Dim Sum and have been all over L.A. Basin for the delicacy. Ordered their Chicken Chow Mein(photo not shown), Sui Mai, Hargow, Sesame Ball, Hom Sui Gok(photo not shown), for the first time, Chicken Udon second time. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. All the textures of each item are made to perfection. All flavors were on the authentic point. Prices are a tad bit more than the usual places, however worth every cent. Our daughter loves their Sui Mai and our second visit ended up purchasing 2 dozen!! They prac
