Enjoying many different locations for "Dim Sum" and after nearly most of my childhood growing up in Monterey Park always seeing this spot while driving by. Took about 30+ years to finally give it a try. Before I review this particular location just want to make a PSA. Please be sure to take cash when you visit. Cash only here! To my surprise Dim Sum Express has one of the best Dim Sum in the city of Monterey Park and even throughout Southern California. My wife and I love Dim Sum and have been all over L.A. Basin for the delicacy. Ordered their Chicken Chow Mein(photo not shown), Sui Mai, Hargow, Sesame Ball, Hom Sui Gok(photo not shown), for the first time, Chicken Udon second time. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. All the textures of each item are made to perfection. All flavors were on the authentic point. Prices are a tad bit more than the usual places, however worth every cent. Our daughter loves their Sui Mai and our second visit ended up purchasing 2 dozen!! They practice social distancing, where your mask! Easy to order, just fill out the item order sheet with pens provided, hand it to the order takers, pay and wait for your number to be called. They have a loud speaker so you can hear your order number when it's ready. Order lots, and enjoy your Dim Sum. We will be frequenting this spot from now on. They are amazing here!

Heard great things about this place for many years. Finally decided to try them out and I must say, they are good! Each order of dim sum is comes in individual servings, which gives you the opportunity to sample everything! Each serving size is gigantic too! Will definitely come by again !

I love the food from this place! Tiny little building, parking can be tough in the back because it's always busy. Everything made fresh to order, home cooking, full flavor on every single thing that you order And delicious. This is the only place I have ever been to where I love every single thing on the menu. Cash only though. Absolute favorites are the steamed pork dim sum and the steamed shrimp dim sum, the sponge cake is light and not too sweet, the cream-filled fun is so light and has a delicious crispy sweet coating on top while the cream in the middle is rich sweet. Last but not least, the reason I drive cross two counties to eat here is the sesame seed Lotus ball. If you like sesame and you like Asian sweetness than this is the treat for you! The sesame seeds are always is perfect. I highly recommend you take a fun trip out and enjoy!I

Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious

I've been coming here for over 30 years and it used to be a hole in the wall and actually it still sort of lol. They make everything fresh so you will have to wait about 15 minutes for your order. They have a PA system that calls out your order number loudly so you don't have to stand so close by the pick up window. What I would recommend there would definitely be the #1 pork bun, the #8 xiu Mai,. The har gao. The egg rolls suck so don't get those,not worth stomach space. The chicken pies are good. This place is a must try. Pricing is affordable as well.

Great place to get your dim sum fix when it's not the weekend or early morning. They close at 7 but that still enough time to get it for dinner!!! The place has very little place to sit and eat so it's a grab your food and go type of place. The hom suey gok is awesome!!! Best thing there IMO. It's got this crusty exterior while having a soft mochi interior! Only thing I have a problem with is the fact it's cash only. I never have cash on me so I can't buy to many things when I randomly drop by

There’s a lot of food to pick here and some is hit and miss. I’ll start off by saying to avoid the chow mein. It does the rest of the food an injustice. Their pork dumplings are so juicy and fat, it’s amazing. Their pot stickers are equally savory. The orange chicken had all the right flavors, but some of it just needed to be a bit crunchier. It bordered on that soft steamed feel but it was still delicious.
