This place is fantastic! Hands down our fave place for authentic Dim Sum. And we’ve tried it all. Capitol / Mama Lu’s / Prince / DTF. The OG Lunasia which is the most consistent of all the locations. XLB is on par with Prince. But DTF still reigns supreme. Service is on and off. But on the whole it’s good. Atmosphere is super legit Alhambra Chinese clientele. As such it’s popular and the wait tends to be long. But well worth the wait!!!

Top tier dim sum restaurant. It was almost full even on Friday for lunch. They have an extensive menu with all of the dim sum classics. Everything was fresh and delicious. The value is really good, each dish was great portions and decently priced. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Got to try this place if you are a fan of dim sum.

Quick Summary It's one of the most successful Dimsum chains for a reason. Top tier food quality. Up to date ordering system. Parking isn't too bad with the covered lot in the back. Only complaint is they seem a little understaffed for the prices you pay (compared to your average dim sum spot) Food- 5 stars The quality here is nearly unmatched in the SGV area. Order whatever you like and the quality is pretty high end for dim sum Service- 4 stars The phone ordering system is nice to minimize confusion and streamline ordering. However, it does take a while to fetch a waiter for water or sauces Ambiance- 4 stars Nice and modern decor for a dim sum spot. It is pretty crowded though, with tables bunched pretty close together, even at the booths Bottom Line Excellent dim sum quality. However, you are paying a higher price for your standard dim sum restaurant service.

Decided to spend a valentine day here, due to the fact was craving Cantonese food. Place is great, spacious. Looking at their wall seeing a frame from Los Angeles time which in my head this must be a real deal. Coming in can hear the servers speaking in hoisan/guangdong language which brought a sense of home as a Cantonese speaker. My girlfriend and I placed our reservation for 4:20 which they weren’t busy pretty open seating was placed in a corner wasn’t appreciated it of it but it’s okay. And this was also her first time experiencing an experience like this which I’m glad to of came to a place to actually try it together as I’m very particular of where I’m getting dimsum from. What I had her tried was Hot and sour soup - 10/10 very good, it’s hard to find a place to messed up this recipe. Chicken feet - 9/10 this is really good but texture was bit throwing me off but the price you pay is really worth the quantity. Beef tripe - 8.5/10 the sauce felt abit flavorless but was so much tripe tho so it was a plus there. Sui mai shrimp& pork - 9/10 good no complaints Chow fun beef - amazing 10/10 Sticky rice - 9/10 no complaints Steam bun 10/10 good buns Rice noodle with bbq - 9/10 Everything that we tried was spectacular. The only con is I wish they kinda explain the ordering instead of dropping a check book with the QR code on there. When ordering I thought I was placing a to go order instead. As well for the check i wish they charged based on who drinking cause i was charged 2 tea when I was the only person drinking it. Chili oil is complimentary you do have to pay abit for it. But overall the experience was great, I enjoyed being my gf first yum cha experience and she enjoyed all her favorite one was the steam bun. Service can be here and there I was check on by different server than the one assigned.

We were a party of 10 so I was concerned about seating but was pleasantly surprised. They sat us at a large circular table in a corner and it was perfect. The place was packed but not noisy and the service was excellent. The food was good. I don't have much experience with dim sum but everything I had was very good, sampled several different dishes.

We came for dim sum… and stayed for the lobster. Lunasia delivered everything you’d expect from a solid Cantonese-style dinner — fast service, elegant plating, and dishes that look as good as they taste. But the standout? Their steamed lobster over sticky rice noodles. It was luxurious without being too heavy, and the sweet-savory sauce tied it all together beautifully. The shrimp rice rolls were silken and fresh — not gummy or over-steamed — and paired perfectly with the light soy dip. Everything tasted refined and intentional. Even the sauce was delicately portioned — just enough to highlight, not drown. If you’re looking for that perfect “we’re celebrating something” kind of dinner without breaking the bank (or patience), Lunasia’s lobster is it.

First time here — and whew, let me tell you… be ready for mass chaos. Walked in and it was a full-on dim sum frenzy. Like, 100 people breathing down the host’s neck for a table. But the real MVP? The host. Cool as a cucumber, handling the madness like a pro. Honestly, I would’ve quit halfway through the shift. Once seated, you order through a QR code — a fun, tech-savvy twist that made me feel like a futuristic foodie. It was a holiday, so yeah, the place was slammed and the food came out a little slow. No biggie though, because when it hit the table — damn. We ordered… basically the whole menu. Sorry, no pics — we were starving. What stood out? The dim sum — fresh, generous portions, no stingy protein here. The Peking Duck? Roasted to absolute perfection. And the beef chow fun? Flavor bomb without the grease bath you usually get elsewhere. So good. The only “meh” was the pork soup broth — kinda underwhelming. I’ve had better. But everything else? Worth the wait, worth the chaos, worth the hype. Already planning my next visit — I’ll just come extra hungry next time.

One of the best Dim Sum in SGV. This Alhambra favorite lives up to the hype with both quality and variety. The dining space is modern and always bustling, but if you time it right, you can skip the crowd. We came on a Monday at 12:30pm, zero wait, walked right in. Weekends, though? Be ready for a long line. Fortunately, they use a Yelp waitlist, which makes the wait a bit easier to manage if you're planning ahead. We ordered 5 dim sum today: Spinach Shrimp Dumpling: Translucent wrapper, juicy shrimp, and fresh spinach. Clean, light, and flavorful. Shrimp Cheung Fun: Smooth rice noodles wrapped around tender shrimp with a soy sauce on the side classic and comforting Beef Balls: Springy and savory, served on some veggies with worcestershire sauce on the side Bolo Bun (Pineapple Bun) with BBQ Pork: This one hit all the marks. Crunchy, golden topping with warm, soft bread and a rich, sweet-savory BBQ pork filling. The textures here are unbeatable. Mala Cake (Cantonese Brown Sugar Cake): Soft, spongy and sweet. Service was quick and efficient, and dishes came out hot. Prices lean a bit upscale for dim sum, but the portions and quality more than justify it

The traditional dim sum is good, but other dishes we tried were all disappointing: lamb chops were dry and didn’t have enough salt (we don’t eat very salty); fish maw flavor was fine, but was not tender; steamed grouper was not made of live fish and was not even grouper but black cod. We should have believed in the name of the restaurant and only ordered dim sum. It is a good dim sum restaurant but failed as a Cantonese restaurant.

Pro: got in immediately. We have been wanting to go for years. The chow fun was solid, as was the har gow. Cons: $6 for very burned jasmine tea- it was clearly stepped in boiling water. Everything else we ordered- basic dim sum staples- was underseasoned and bland. The textures were... weird. We have been going to dim sum for decades and know what we're talking about. We were so disappointed and underwhelmed. It's like it was pre-frozen or something. Do not recommend!

The food was sub par. The lobster was like rubber. We’re actually had to send it back! The flavor was off on many of the dishes. The River was dry. And it was rather expensive. And the restaurant was freezing.

Unfortunately they served us rare beef inside the beef rice noodles. We asked two separate staff members to explain whether the beef was actually cooked or not. Both staff said offhandedly that it was the "marinade" which made the meat look red. Both of us tried small pieces and the texture still didn't taste right. A third staff member walked by and eyed the beef rice noodles curiously but didn't stop to rectify the issue. My husband has a sensitive stomach and vomited afterwards & experienced serious indigestion. We didn't finish the rest and when we got home, all it took was 5 more minutes of steaming for the meat to turn into a more "normal" and well done color. Next time, please believe customers when they point out the uncooked state of meat rather than gaslight them into thinking it was cooked properly. Some people may like their beef rare, but not inside rice noodles. Other dim sum dishes we ordered were just fine but the rare/barely cooked beef rice noodles turned us off from wanting to return to Lunasia (and yes, we could just avoid ordering this particular dish in the future but the staff's no-can-do attitudes and the fact that such a basic avoidable error happened at a supposedly well regarded Michelin rated dim sum restaurant doesn't make it an appealing place for us to return to). If the rice noodles can't be made right, who knows what other dishes also have similar issues and the potential to make customers severely ill?

My friend and I placed our order at 3:23 PM — four dishes in total. By 4:05 PM, we had already been waiting over 40 minutes. A neighboring table that ordered about 20 minutes after us had already received their tiger prawn vermicelli, yet our lobster noodles had not arrived. We asked one of the servers to check on the dish. After confirming with the kitchen, she told us that the lobster noodles had not even been started, and asked whether we would like to wait another 15–20 minutes or cancel the order. At that point, we had already been waiting close to 50 minutes. I requested to speak with the manager. The manager’s response was even more shocking. He told us, “Our chef is already working on it. We have to catch and prepare the lobster, which takes about 50 minutes. Give us another 5 minutes and it will be ready.” This explanation made absolutely no sense. One moment we were told the dish had not even been started. The next moment the manager claimed it had already been in progress and would be ready in five minutes. A lobster noodle dish prepared in five minutes after a 50-minute delay is honestly not something I would feel comfortable eating. As a manager, giving customers contradictory and dismissive explanations like this is extremely unprofessional. It felt as though we were being treated like we wouldn’t notice the inconsistency. Combined with the overly dark, burnt-looking soft-shell crab we received, it really made us question the standard of this so-called Michelin restaurant. After this kind of response, we paid the bill and left immediately. Very disappointing experience

I recently visited Lunasia and had an upsetting experience with the server listed on my receipt as Haidi. During my meal, I took a couple of photos of my food—as many diners do—and immediately noticed that the server’s attitude toward me changed. I felt singled out and treated differently after that point. The shift in tone and behavior made the rest of my dining experience uncomfortable, to say the least i enjoyed the food but I left feeling as though I had been unfairly judged simply for taking pictures. Whether or not it was intentional, the interaction made me feel unwelcome, and it definitely affected my impression of the restaurant. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. Diners should feel comfortable enjoying their meal—including taking food photos—without feeling discriminated against or treated disrespectfully.
