02/03/2024 I've heard of Yum Cha Cafe but the bigger sign says Dim Sum Cafe. Doesn't matter, I am getting a watch adjusted at one of the nearby booths so I stopped here for snacks. There's a short line and it does go quick. You could get a full dish like hainan chicken or roasted pork. The dim sum is to the right where you could point and call it out. I ordered the beef rice noodles and BBQ pork baked buns. The pork buns were cold and doesn't have the glossy honey top I'm used to seeing. So you should get the steamed BBQ pork buns instead. Otherwise, if you are taking it home, you could bling this out yourself. Behind the counter, these people are hustling so instead of my original rating, it's higher marks and stars.

This is my family's go-to dim sum spot for takeout. It's the most affordable one around. Every time my parents come to visit me, they always buy a variety. For only $25-30, you can easily get enough food to feed a family of four. During these inflation times, this is a sweet deal! Some of my favorites are the chicken feet, daikon cake, and rice rolls. If you're looking for dim sum on a budget, come here.

We picked up a turkey here for Thanksgiving. It also came with complimentary sticky rice and buns. Everything was pretty good and the turkey was huge. It was able to feed more than 15 people and we still had a lot of leftovers. Free and easy to find parking in the parking lot. Service was good here. Hopefully we can come back and try their dim sum.

Yum Cha Cafe is our go-to dim sum deli place. Their prices have gone up quite a bit, but hey, that's how inflation work. There's no more $0.99 dim sum dishes LOL. You're looking $2.99 to $5.00 per dim sum dish depending on the item. We normally get the shrimp gaw, sui mai, chicken feet, beef tripe, fish tofu, shrimp rice rolls, egg tarts, BBQ buns, and a few other honorable mentions. The flavors are decent compared to those higher end dim sum restaurants. At least you don't have to pay tip. They have a BBQ area where you can get duck, steamed chicken, lemon grass chiken, etc. They also have specialty noodle and rice dishes. Staff is normally friendly. I have to say, they are one of the friendliest ones for an Asian place. They do smile and at times, may throw in a joke here and there. Give them a try when you're in the San Gabriel area. They are located within the San Gabriel Superstore center. Happy Shopping!

If you been to the San Gabriel Superstore, then you know there's a dim sum place hidden inside. For those who have never heard of Dim Sum Cafe, it's a small restaurant inside the San Gabriel Superstore, that's close to the entrance of the store tucked away in the corner. So the parking is the same as if you were going to the San Gabriel Superstore. The food here is close to authentic as you can get and at a pretty decent price. Prior to the pandemic, they had tables scattered around for those who wanted to dine in. Now all the tables are pushed to the side and there's a long line of customers waiting to order dim sum. If you never been here, word of warning you may find the service to be a bit more abrasive, pushy, and loud. Take no offense as this is just how they are. They just want to get people what they want and as quickly as possible. In my latest visit, I ordered the same old items I had ordered before and the quality is still there. I ordered chicken feet, pineapple buns, baked pork buns, and egg tarts. The chicken feet were the best part. It was cooked in a way where the skin and meat just fell off the bones. Next up I would rate the egg tarts as my second best item. The egg to tart ratio was perfect. There was more egg than the tart shell. It was nice and crispy! If you're in the mood for dim sum filler items like the buns, the pineapple custard buns and baked pork buns are the way to go. With dim sum you can just keep eating every little but of everything and not really get full, so that's where the buns come in. The pineapple custard buns are different from the ones you find at other dim sum spots because they are more oblong and oval shaped than the normal round ones. I find that shape for the best and easy bites. They also sell noodles, wonton soups, chicken, roast duck and roast pork. So if you're in the mood are in need of those food items, it's your one stop shop. I would recommend stopping here if you finished shopping or just craving some dim sum.
