Came here for lunch in between appointments by my neighbors recommendation. I was greeted immediately and promptly seated in a cozy booth decorated with red charms. Chrysanthemum tea was delightful. Dim sum was made to order. The shrimp fried rice was great! A little pan-fried char as it ought to be. I was gifted custard buns for being a new customer and new business owner! So sweet. Im bringing all my friends here next visit!

In a nutshell; wouldnt say the best, but it is some pretty good dim sum.For the amount I paid and for what I got, it was a relatively good experience. Food tasted good. Theres a different array of food to choose from besides dim sum. The wait didnt take too long at all. It did come in phases. Wasnt the best dim sum I have tasted as the restaurants name suggests but I wouldnt mind swinging by back here again. Didnt wait too long to get seated even during the latter half of peak lunch hours. The servers were nice and accommodating. Few minor things to consider, it felt rather warm inside and even more in the bathroom somehow, considering it was triple digit weather outside, it would be nice to be eating In a relatively cooler place, it was better but the warm temp wasnt the best. For a dim sum named place, its relatively very much like any other Chinese themed restaurant with the menu options, no complaints there but makes the dim sum less prominent seeing as it just seems like just another menu item as oppose to being the featured option. Overall still good food. Was stuffed at the end of it.

It’s a small Chinese resto in Granite Bay, nice location with Dutch Bros. & Starbucks in the same area.Food is good, everything’s tasty and service was fast. We ordered the siomai, hakaw, spareribs in black bean sauce, orange chicken & bbq fried rice. We finished all the dimsums and rice except for the orange chicken which we had for dinner.Overall, good food and good price!!!

Came on a busy mothers day for the first visit. Food tastes great (dim sum) and the staff is super friendly. Definitely family owned and ran type of feel. Not a whole lot of room and I take it the kitchen isnt big like purpose built dim sum places in South sac but the quality is there.Definitely happy to have this option closer to my side of town (Im in Fair Oaks/Orangevale area) instead of convincing the family to drive downtown or south Sacramento.Keep up the good work Best Dim Sum. Our family will be on your list of regulars. 🫶🏻

Really great dim sum, so excited to find this place in Placer county. We loved the Golden shrimp rice roll (the best), siu mai and soup dumplings were not as good as the bay area, but pretty good. Egg tarts and sesame balls were yummy! Service was excellent!

My family and I love this place - its one of our go-tos for dim sum and other Cantonese dishes. The staff are always very friendly and make sure our needs are always met whenever we dine-in or take-out. Our orders are always fulfilled quickly and the food tastes great.

“There’s always room for improvement “Need to elevate the atmosphere. Adding lights - more working TV - updated wallpaper - millennial design imo.FOOD is really flavorful and made freshly by order.Drinks are limited just simple soda in can. Best if add more options like boba - tea- home made juices.

I havent had Dim Sum in years my friend has never had it. This place truly has excellent food and hot omg everything was cooked to order and brought right to the table. My friend said she is now a fan. The ladies working there were very nice and took great care of us. The only downside is it has no real atmosphere its very simple and just somewhere to sit down to eat. If that is not a big deal and you want great food and service then definitely go.

Hey there, foodies! Im here to tell you about my latest obsession - Best Dim Sum! This spot is seriously the holy grail of Chinese cuisine and authentic dim sum. Tucked away in a quiet corner of town, its become one of my absolute faves for some seriously delicious eats.The moment you walk in, youll be greeted by Lina, she’s the one who wears glasses!And let me tell you, the food here is just outstanding. Ive been to Best Dim Sum three times now, and each time Im absolutely blown away by the quality and flavors of the dishes. The dim sum is the real standout here, folks. Its seriously some of the best Ive ever had - even beating out some famous Bay Area spots like Koi Palace and Din Tai Fung.But whats even better? The prices! Unlike other high-end dim sum restaurants, you wont have to break the bank to enjoy an incredible meal here. Its no wonder that Linas restaurant is quickly becoming a local favorite.Now, lets get to the must-haves. You absolutely have to try the Beef or House Chow Fun (with gravy), Sui Mai, Shanghai Meat Dumplings, Har Gow (shrimp dumplings), and the Golden Shrimp Rice Roll. And for dessert? Oh, baby. You have to try the baked custard pineapple buns. They are serious to die for, especially when paired with a cup of tea.And dont even get me started on the dipping sauce. Its a game-changer. Youll have to make it yourself, but dont worry - just ask for the three ingredients: soy sauce, red vinegar, and chili oil. And chances are, the chili oil and soy sauce will already be on your table.Now, Best Dim Sum is still a relatively new restaurant, so the service may not be perfect just yet. But Linas aware of it, and shes working hard to hire more staff to make the experience even better for her customers. In the meantime, just focus on the amazing food, which is seriously top-notch.In conclusion, if youre on the hunt for the best dim sum around, served at affordable prices, then Best Dim Sum is the spot for you. With its authentic flavors and friendly vibe, its quickly becoming a must-visit destination for anyone who loves Chinese cuisine. Trust me, you wont regret it! Tell her you are a friend of Trung!

We went on Sunday before lunch time and was seated immediately.- fried sesame ball: lots of chewy coating but little red bean filling- bbq pork bun: the pork filling was delicious but the buns were rather small.- Shanghai meat dumpling (XLB): the skin was too thick & no soup inside the dumpling. The meat filling tasted good though.- general chicken with rice (lunch special): the portion was huge! The chicken pieces were super crispy. The sauce was good but it was overwhelming as they put too much sauce. The only thing that we felt worth it for the priceWhen I tried to pay with apple pay, the cashier said that the internet was down. I asked to pay with other credit card but she insisted me to pay cash although the person before me was able to pay with credit card. Luckily I had some cash on me. For the small portion of the dim sum, I felt like it was pricey. But the flavor was there, so it’s a solid 3.5 stars

Never had dimsum before. Place was easy to find. Was seated immediately. Each dim sum was $7.50 & up. I would suggest to try a few or go with a group to split cost. It was alot of food & I was stuffed, went home with leftovers.

Look at the pork dumpling . No pork In it . Should be called air dumpling instead . They called themselves best dim sum but their food is only flour with no meat . Rename the shop. This is the worst place to get dim sum . DO NOT COME HERE. This is a disgrace to Hong Kong culture.

Such yum dim sum!! The service is so sweet- they catered to us and gave my toddler his own place mat and toddler plate. So cute. We ordered black bean pork, pork bao, shu mai, daikon cake, and orange chicken plate. Everything was delicious and Im glad we found it.

Writing this while waiting to pay. Sat at table for 15 minutes before deciding to walk to counter cause no one acknowledged us after our final item was given, thank goddess we didn’t want to spend more money.Had one guy ahead of me then 2 more employees walked over and talked to 2 other people that just walked up. So i decided to just sit down and wait for the chaos to die down because no one seems to be able to multitask here.Our order was also wrong and never fixed so I had to remind them again, even though a tiny X was on receipt.The Dim Sum was fine but I’ll drive back to South Sac in the future. It’ll be faster in the long run and they have more menu items that are missing from this place.

I got food poisoning from this place and I will never be eating here again. I threw up ALL of my food that I ate. Chicken was pink and the sauce was basic.

Came here because we wanted to see if there was a good dim sum place that was closer to us. Note: this dim sum place does not have carts going around. We were sorely disappointed with this place. First, the service. We ordered the siu mai, spare ribs with black bean sauce, the BBQ pork and shrimp rice rolls from the dim sum menu and the house special chow fun (with gravy) and fish with black bean sauce from the a la carte menu. For those who are more versed in dim sum ordering, this is not a lot of food. It took the staff 45 min to get all of the food out to us. They didnt seem organized or coordinated at all. We were tucked away in a small corner and it felt like they forgot about us, especially being right by the kitchen entrance. We saw so much food pass by us for other tables. Second, the food. At best, the food was mid. The black bean flavor did not bloom as much as we wanted and the rice noodles were all bunched up and thick (not in a good way). The flavors overall were okay, nothing to write home to. For the name of the place to boast the best dim sum, we expected better. Third, the price. Compared to other dim sum places in the Greater Sacramento area, they are at least $1-2 more expensive per dish. Also, their a la carte menu items are quite expensive especially considering the presentation of each dish and lack of coordination on their part.Now, I understand that restaurants have their off days and being understaffed can be a real pain on a small business. Considering everything, it was a real disappointment.

I had the dim sum it was good. I ate there on a Sunday. Was busy. They serve other dishes besides dim sum. I liked the pineapple buns. They need to have the black vinegar on the tables. Tasty food. It is local you dont have to drive to Downtown.

Although it’s a small restaurant in a strip mall, the dim sum is amazing quality, even comparable to the Michelin rated dim sum we enjoyed in Hong Kong. Everything is made fresh with quality ingredients and amazing flavor. Please support this small business so we can selfishly keep coming back for our own enjoyment!

My wife and I were craving for dim sum for lunch on a Sunday, but waaaay to lazy to drive to Sacramento. So, we checked Yelp and this place popped up. We excited got in the car, and went to try out this place. We were fortunate to arrive before the rush so we received orders pretty quickly. We tried several dim sums and they were great! Totally hit the spot. Siomai was my fave. Had to get a 2nd order They were all flavorful and served hot. The dim sum didnt disappoint. However, the non-dim sum didnt quite cut it for us. We ordered the salt & pepper spare ribs and fried rice. They werent that great. The spare ribs barely had any meat and had thick breading. My son wasnt too thrilled. The fried rice was pedestrian but was very oily, so nothing to write home about.Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely visit again.

It’s the closest to SF dim sum at a great price. The atmosphere reminds me of my family restaurant in FL. It’s not fancy but great comfort dim sum.

Dim sum items are very good. Noodles were a bit overcrowded with veggies and sauce for my taste. Nice new owner provided with complimentary small dessert. Its a family neighborhood friendly restaurant.

Love the stuffed eggplant, it messy and time consuming to make homemade. They have great food, but not a fancy spot. Very friendly staff. We come here often or order to go...

Best Chinese food in all of the Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay area. Cozy old school place with quality dim sum. The owner and staff were all very nice and welcoming. The portions were good sized and reasonably priced. So happy to finally have authentic dim sum in our area!

My wife and I had wonderful mean at Best Dim Sum! The service and food was excellent. We got the orange chicken, bbq pork rolls, chicken chow mein, and hot and sour soup. My favorite was the bbq pork rolls while my wife’s was the chicken chow mein. Excellent new restaurant in Granite Bay!

Went with my 2 sons and 3 other friends. We had beef chow fun, shrimp eggplant, soup dumplings (Xiao long bao), deep fried shrimp balls, shrimp and beef rice rolls, fried pork dumplings (ham Sui gok), steam pork ribs, rice congee, and egg tarts. OMG we had a lot. The food is excellent and delicious. Owner is very friendly, and cheerful. There was a variety of selection to choose from. The owner says as long as the customers request more things, she will add them to the menu (like chicken feet, turnip cake). The service was fast. We are so happy to have dim sum so close to home. We will definitely go back again.

Dim sum made to order. Had Shu Mui, Eggplant w/shrimp paste, Sticky Rice, BBQ Pork Bao, Turnip Cake-all very good. Also offer Chinese food. Plenty of parking located in a small shopping center.

Wasn’t super impressed. Sesame and Gen. Tso’s chicken both overly breaded, stringy. Was hoping for more from the new place. P.s They need to replace that carpeting ASAP. It’s awfully dirty and worn. Unsanitary. At the end of the day, we’ll likely give another try, but hope they pick things up.
