Lunasia Dimsum House: Experience Authentic Cantonese Cuisine in Alhambra

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.

I went for lunch on a Thursday. I was seated right away. I had the Kung-Pao Chicken, Siu-Mai with Truffle, Minced Chicken Bao, and the Pan-Fried Bun with Crab Meat. It was all excellent. I highly recommend.

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.

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.

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

They have huge selection of dim sum and you order them using a QR code which they will provide then deliver the food to your table. No longer the traditional dim sum place where you see bunch of food servers going around with their carts and grab whatever you desire. Food was delicious and ordering is not really complicated and they get them out fast and hot! We got in early Sunday morning and not much of a crowd to form a line but people started coming in and quickly builds up a line of wait to get you seated. They have big tables to accommodate large group. Parking is available in the building.

Lunasia has an excellent reputation for dim sum style real Chinese food (not Westernized) and we were not disappointed. The menu is extensive with many seafood and other dishes in addition to dim sum. Each dish was impeccably prepared, and served quickly (it was not busy). We liked each dish. Even if you're not into dim sum, they have traditional dishes such as sweet and sour chicken and beef chow fun which we enjoyed. I especially loved the fried soft shell crab. We had excellent service - I dropped my chopsticks and no kidding, before I was able to retrieve them a server was already giving me a new set. This would also be a great place for special occasions because they offer over the top dishes such as whole suckling pig. My only issue is that they ask you to order from an online menu and that took a lot of time as it was our first time (I think they will provide paper menus on request).

1/11/26: Excellent dim sum. Had siu mai, shrimp rice noodle, wantons in chili oil, steamed pork bun, fried pork bun, sticky rice in leaf, jujubee dessert. All were very good.
