Such a kind staff. It was my first time and they were patient and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend! It is a cash only establishment and affordable. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area

This dim sum place often gets over looked, but it's one of my favorite! Been here many years because they open earlier than other restaurants. I like the chow mein often have it on the hot table. Oh yeah! Their traditional dim sum are also delicious, such as shark fin dumplings, pork sui mai, steamed rice noodles with shrimp. Their assortment of items from the glass window are also amazing! The cashier back there is by herself and speak limited English so please be patient. Sometimes there's a line out the restaurant! It's that good. Bring cash. Major credit card are not accepted. There are couple tables for dine in but I usually have it to go. Parking is a pain but people usually are quick, if you can find a parking spot.

Small location but so good !!!!!!! And not over priced. Only bought one tray and had to go back and get another one before we left. Definitely try this place.

Dim sum and baos are fresh and people are lining up for them. Service is fast & efficient. Their items are limited so makes pointing to them easier to order since my server spoke minimal English. This place actually accepts cards but minimal $20. Order food and take-out.

In my opinion Gourmet Dim Sum and Cafe is a great option and my preferred choice on Clement for Dim Sum takeout. The food is fresh, the pace less hurried, and the counter staff pleasant ( using the Chinese service scale) I opted for some Rice Noodle Roll , but I can easily recommend the sesame seed balls, dumplings, sui mi, and buns. The space is very basic , but you're coming here for the food not the ambiance.

So the go to spot was closed. Good Luck Dim Sum is closed Monday and Tuesday??? This spot is across the street! I've been here before but for some reason I didn't remember. But let me just say the Har Gow is excellent. Maybe even better than GLDS!!! I thought I would never say that! The skin was much thinner and the flavor was OMG a lot better. I will say GLDS Beef Shu Mai is a lot better. I also brought the pork congee and it had more of a porky flavor than GLDS which I liked!!! But damn this shrimp dumplings were like crack!!!! Chicken buns were okay not like GLDS. I might have to hit up two stores now. One for the shrimp dumplings and the other for the beef shu mai and chicken buns at GLDS!!!! Service was fast and it's set up as to-go only!! Guess I'll be supporting both joints!!!!

This has always been our back up dim sum place when Good Luck Dim Sum is closed. Actually, we came here for a few years straight when I was mad at Good Luck. Not sure how I ended up going back to their competitor, probably due to my guests' preference...? Anyway... Quality/Quantity - Got $40 of random dim sum, see picture. All of which was good. They have a slightly smaller selection than their competitors. Atmosphere - Take out only. They used to have seating, but as you can see (picture), they are all gone now. Open 7 days a week, 7am to 6:30pm. Street parking, I walked today in the rain, as my wife took the car. Service - 5 stars. No problem ordering, smooth. And she was friendly and did not rush me, even with a line slowly forming behind me. Price - I think she gave me a discount. She did all this math, then said just $40 even. So if I got a discount, thank you. Owner Comment - Thanks for always being there for me.
