The Dim Sum Co.

We were in town for a business conference without a personal vehicle. Wish we had known beforehand that this "restaurant" is TAKEOUT only! Pictures online looked like the potential to sit down and dine. The food that we ordered was decent, even though it was lukewarm by the time we returned with the food to our hotel. The Crescent Dumplings were not as crispy as I've experienced from other dim sum places, it was thick and gooey/glutinous. We ordered Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (large and meat filled), Shrimp Dumplings (large shrimp filling but dumpling skin does not fare well as takeout), Turnip Cake (creamy texture with adequate filling), Taro Puff (tasty though wish they were eaten hot and fresh), Crescent Dumplings (shell was not crispy and was too thick), Chow Fun (noodles had a good flavor and chewy texture), Lotus Sticky Rice (good sticky rice with some filling), Vietnamese Ice Coffee (was too chocolate-y in flavor not the sweetened espresso flavor we expected).

This is a place where you can get your quick fix for dim sum. Food is pretty decent here for a togo only place. I usually get the typical dim sum items like shrimp dumpling (har gow), shrimp rice paper, fried shrimp and chive, and pork and shrimp dumpling (xiu mai). Items I don't like as much: Fried BBQ Bun - had a sweet flavor, so it tasted odd as a savory food item. Chow fun was really bland. Same with fried rice, but technically you can add soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

Hole in the wall dim sum, take away only. Food is great and freshly made. Personally recommend: xiao long bao, fried shrimp chives dumplings, siew mai, beef tripes. Taste: 7.8/10 Affordability: 6.8/10 Recommend: 8/10 *tip bring disposable gloves and enjoy away Also special recommendation for the saigon ice coffee a few stores down.

Been coming here for dimsum for several years now. They offer reasonably and tasty dimsum dishes from your har gao to siomai. Even with long lines, they are efficient and fast. As mentioned by another reviewer, the outside waiting area can use some sweeping once in a while.

This is my favorite dim sum place in the Westminster area. I’ve been to a lot of other places and have been either disappointed by the food, the price or the locale. The Dim Sum Co is a take out only joint that is inside of a grocery store that serves dim sum only. The menu may not be extensive as the sit down restaurants, but all the basics are there with some specialties available only on Friday to Sunday. The prices are reasonable for the quantity and the quality and taste is better than some sit downs. The trick is to order online so you don’t have to wait outside for your order. Tip#2 come in time when they tell you cause the order will be ready. Tip#3 bring a cooler or a blanket to cover the food for the car ride home so the dim sum stays hot.
