Review Dim Sum King - Daly City

Still one of the best Dim Sum place. Always a line and never empty. The food is very traditional Cantonese Asian food. They have great Dim Sum, Also they have some nice stores near by to walk around while you wait. Also a great place to do take out. I always enjoy have Dim Sum here and I like that I always get the same Spot and get to enjoy a nice meal.

Was here in February before the pandemic. Everything was good and customer service was great! They serve Dim Sum until night time!!!

This time I brought a companion for dim sum lunch..."yum cha". So glad we have them another chance. Service is very good and the dim sum chefs make all orders from scratch in their very visible kitchen. Fresh live fish & crustaceans were delivered into their tanks and quality control was in process.

After 3 months of SIP, a sit down restaurant searving dim sum was a godsend. Although we missed having dim sum for so long. The quality is still Ok, not fantastic. All items were cooked to order. So it took some time to get the food prepare and serve. The staff was scrambling to seat & serve the walk-in customers and take care of all the take out orders at the same time. The fried items was a bit greasy as the oil temperature was not hot enough. The lunch special of lobster noodles came at the very end when qe finished lunch already. The noodles were too greasy and it showed on the bottom of the plate. Lobster was fresh & good.

We dined inside, all the tables have white cloth and tables set apart 6ft or more. They take temperature of all customers before seating. This place is on the pricey side but good food. We had shrimp dumplings, sui mi, braised chicken feet that melts in your mouth, yolk steamed buns (they were ok, probably b/c we ate them at home), the duck tongue was surprisingly good, shrimp wrapped in rice noodles, two more dishes that escapes me. Not because they were bad, time has gone by. Lol. I'd go back.

Con: 1) Fresh dim sum at any time of the day unlike normal dim sum places that usually end by 2PM. 2) Inside is nicely brighten and clean. Pro: Could use better staffing service because after I asked for the bill it still took a while. I ended up walking up to the front counter to pay for my bill.

All your Dim Sum foods you'd come to expect or have had before. You can expect some unique dishes there too.

Pros. 1. Dim sum is delicious. 2. Price is reasonable for the Bay area. You can expect to pay about $20-30 per person. Cons. 1. As most of customers are Chinese, it can very loud. 2. Customer service is not good but it is typical among Chinese people.

met up for mom’s bday din #2...i was like “huh, heard we were having dim sum for din??”...mom: “they have other dishes”...that they did...full din...pretty decent...good prices too...didnt know all of these yrs...they’d have more biz if it wasn’t for their branding giving the limited notion... T H E F E E L . . . been here b4...long layout w/ windows along the Skyline Plaza across from 99 Ranch Mkt...peekaboo windows into the kitchen on the opposite side...

Been coming here for a while and it’s getting busier every time. It’s a good place to hang out with family and friends. I like their food and price is reasonable. The only downfall here is the parking. Gotta fight for it. �

2 stars is too much. The food is good. The service is terrible. I got a Sapporo (a large bottle) no glass?!?! Do you want me to drink out of a big bottle?!?! I ask for a glass and your busser gives me the dirtiest, lip stick covered glasses. Disgusting!! Is this the way you serve people? I'm in the service industry too. Unexpectable!! I would have fired all of you and started over again with different employees! The servers walk around in a daze. Your waiting on us (me) you earn tips. 20%. I rather give you a kick out of the door. The chef chomping on everything in site back in the kitchen! Yes I can see you shoveling the food in your mouth! Unexpectable!! We waited and waited for our seaweed salad. It never came. Keep eating!!

One of the best dim sum in the Bay Area. The dinner menu is wide especially the seafood.

I agree, Food is good ... service is terrible though. You have to wait long for the next food to come so you stop eating and wait. We didnt get all of our orders we just have to cancel and go home.

點心�水平 Dum sun is very good, service is right. I always go there for morning tea

Awesome dim sum! We eat the often. I highly recommend.

The dishes at Dim Sum King have improved tremendously since I was there last !!! Service was very good too !!! Love the baked pork buns a lot !!!! I ordered additional 3 orders to go for my Mom & sister to try !!!!

The service was excellent! Food kept coming quickly. One of the few places that serve dim sum for dinner!

Dim Sum King in Daly City use to have terrible service... but not anymore, since they remodeled, maybe NEW Management.

Service is super slow!!! Good was ok, the Fried rice was super expensive. $13.99 for pork fried rice.

Food was way too salty. Also, the kitchen had forgotten our dishes until we asked for it. Not sure if I would go back again.

Yummy for my tummy. Meal was 86.00 but well worth it. We all ate like KINGS! Can't wait to come back! :)

good food good service

Dim sum all day. Cooked to order so it is guaranteed fresh and hot. Maybe on the pricey side but still cheaper than some other places of similar quality.

Great food, Quick service, good for a family gathering.

Dim Sum is fresh. That is the most important when eating Dim Sum.

Great food, easy to get a seat. They also have take out.

Better than before....Hey of I still eat McDonald's then I wouldn't mind eating here =)
