LA Weekly

At Lunasia the most iconic item is probably the jumbo shiu mai, a roe-crowned dumpling the size of a child’s fist, which requires two bites minimum. Read more

Size of the dumplings and portions is proportional to the queues you get here I.e BIG. Quality is ok but not amazing. A decent Dim sum venue.

"Another dim sum off-the-menu Hong Kong style seafood restaurant . Innovative dim sum items include foie gras dim sum , about to become illegal as CA bans the sale of foie gras ." -David Chang's Top 10 Read more

The green beans with pork were the first thing to disappear from our (very full) table of food. More expensive than many dim sum places, but still convenient & good.

Jordan Husney

Recently Lunasia switched to using Yelp to manage their waitlist. On the weekend, if you don't use the app to get in line , you might face a 2-3 hour wait

Robin Chen

Pretty good dim sum . If you're local and just want dimsum as food, you can call and order carryout . Skips a lot of waiting.

Connie Chiu

Good spot for dim sum but the wait is already over 45mins at 10:30am. The food comes out abbot slow so we had to cancel a few cause we forgot we ordered them and were too full by the end.

Karen Wong

It's good but DON'T ORDER the Crispy Shrimp Roll (no. 34) TOGETHER with the White Radish Rice Noodle (no. 42)... Crispy Shrimp Roll is inside the rice noodle !! Generous portions ...

JT

Not your traditional cart dim sum . You order from the staff and more upscale - delicious

Gene Chuang

The dim sum here has improved significantly compared to when it opened a few years ago. I would say its up to par with Sea Harbour .

Eric Scott

Most items are nearly double the usual size. The har gow are enormous, and the wrappers fall apart .

Oshi Yoshi

Delicious vegetarian dim sum options!

Michael

Excellent chinese food , and very popular, so expect a long wait time.

Maddie S

Well made dimsum variety

April Gonzales

Get there early! Tables fill up quick for the awesome Dim Sum .

MeiWah Wong

Love that the food is less greasy than other dim sum places.

Olive

Get the almond milk pastry !

Eric S

Turnip cake with special spicy sauce is a must order!

La Wang

Portions are twice as big as you're expecting so don't go crazy, I would start with 4/3 of a dish per person

Jason Schmid

Live jazz out front while you wait (Saturday)

Nicholas Matulich

LA times reccomends the Shumai

Roger Ma

Be prepared to wait 1.5-2 hours!!

Melani Deyto

If you come on the weekend, send someone an hour ahead to get a number.

Michael Liu

You can call to make reservations here.

Bruce Fong

Foie gras dumpling

Daniel Hong

On weekends, if you don't plan on waiting for an hour or more, get here before 10:30 am.

Jason Su

No carts, just orders from a sheet. Good food, on the starchier side. Long waits on the weekends unless you're early or you're very lucky.

Jenny Huynh

Snow Buns is really yummy!

Dustin Huang

Don't forget to get egg tarts ! Sooo GOOD!

Derek Fan

It used to be good here. Salty food. Bad taste. Long lines . Won't repeat.

Right Way to Eat

$25 min for each credit card
