The dim sums were delicious. Loved the spicy shrimp and sesame ball . The tea disappoints unfortunately as unlike any traditional dim sum house was made from tea bags.

"It's right across the street from Jar, and it’s my quick fix for plump pork & shrimp shumai dumplings . You can tell these are always freshly made ." - Chef Suzanne Tracht Read more

My new favorite place in LA. All-day specials at the bar include $2 Sapporo drafts , $4 glasses of wine and $4 spicy shrimp dumplings (which I want for dinner every night starting now).

Paige C

Delicious dim sum - fresh, authentic and hot! Loved the sticky rice as well .

Namona Bt

If you're looking for a good chinese/Vietnamese: The crispy spring rolls , juicy pork dim sum & sweet/sour soup was delish!

Andrew Layman

Amazing pork buns . Get sticky wrapped sticky rice with pork . The bak Choi is good too.

Sonia S

The dim sum is made to order. Don't expect this to be your authentic , typical or rowdy dim sum joint. More American customers in an upscale environment. Good quality food nonetheless.

Phil Toronto

They will tell you that all of the dumplings are big - they aren't that big. You need at least 2 orders of the juicy pork dumplings .

Vanessa Meyer

Best lunch . The juicy pork and chicken spinach are great. We didn't know it was happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by our bill. This place is a must.

Thomas Colton

Free valet ! (Excluding tip) and always seems to have space. Very much a decent hidden date spot last minute

Love the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf (don't eat the leaf), shu mai, seaweed salad ...actually everything I've tried has been great and I've been here at least 5 times.

Julius Weil

Dim Sum on Beverly everything is delicious and the staff is great. Shu Mai is exceptional a ms are the crispy crab and shrimp balls .

Danny Nathan

Super tasty dim sum . Go for happy hour . Sort of a bummer that they don't do the carts, but the food is tasty regardless.

Kelly Bone

The cabbage salad and crystal mushroom dumpling are a perfect, veggie friendly , lunch !

Asja

Diet-friendly accommodations + friendly staff . Our waitress Misun is sweet. She made sure the dishes were tailor-made even though we didnt ask her to. This allowed everyone to sample all the dishes!

Kristen Orien

Juicy pork buns and the pork and spinach potstickers are my favorite! Truthfully, nothing I've ever had here was anything but amazing.

Thomas Colton

Chicken shumai , juicy pork dumplings , pork buns , etc. Haven't had a bad thing on the menu

Michael Neal

Stellar Dim Sum ! Good & spicy chili oil too.

Andrew S

Pretty much hit the whole menu. Mochi Dumplings and Chicken Potstickers are hands down the best.

Crystal Shrimp Dumpling , steamed bbq pork bun , juicy pork dumpling and shrimp spring roll .... Umm all amaZin!!! If ur hesitant on taking the dumpling dive, try these

Janet Anne Panen

Two words: milk buns . They taste and feel the way you'd think a cloud should taste and feel. Life-changing, man.

Asja

Wild crab dumplings-extra sticky and so good. Real crab meat and generous filling. Crispy Taro Ball and Honey Walnut prawn are by far my fav!

Yang S

Amazing high quality dim sum - check in with Swarm to get coupons!

Nicole

Try the crispy crab and shrimp ball & pork dumpling . And for desert you MUST have the milk bun !

Emily Thomas

Finally had the Milk Buns for the first time last night -- it's up there with one of my favorite desserts of all time.

Taryn Melissa

Juicy pork buns are a must. However, be aware, the amazing half-price lunch special is no more :(

Chris Womack

Crap rice is great

Zac McCormick

I wasn't that impressed with the service, but the food was great! Get yourself some soup dumps .

cyn

Fabulous happy hour with really great choices! 11-7 pm M-F, 5-7 pm Sat & Sun and ALL DAY, EVERY DAY at the bar FTW!!!

Katya Zhylka

It's definitely one of our favorite places in LA now!!! Dumplings are the BEST!!❤️

Adam Cheung

Limited dimsum menu but what they do, they do a pretty good job at, at about $1.00-1.50 premium over San Gabriel valley dimsum spots.

Anton Perreau

If you want authentic Dim Dum, this probably isn't the place for you.As a western attempt at Dim Sum it's a mediocre (albeit more expensive than it should be) experience missing some essentials.

somerset Tullius

Happy hour at the bar all day! Juicy pork dumpling is a delight.

Ben Rugg

Fantastic modern dim sum . And inventive handcrafted cocktails .

Abu Aya KD

Best dimsum in the heart of West LA...

DJ Latin Prince ✔ 

Karl H.

Juicy Pork Buns , and milk buns (dessert ) are tops. Go for happy hour 5-7pm!

Jan Gardner

Dim Sum heaven ! I loved the chicken and spinach dim sum .

Buttercup D

Their pork/shrimp dumplings are the best!!!

Austin Watkins

Damn good dim sun. Save room for the egg custard . Fresh, warm and omg good.

Joanne D

Bartenders are super nice! Pork/shrimp shumai & chicken stuffed mushrooms are delish!

Oliver

Heres a tip. If you want westernized chinese goodness, go to panda express. If you want dim sum , do not go to bao

Lance Lash

The Sticky rice was awesome.

Codi

Free valet ! Everything is good!

Jeff Spargur

Juicy pork dumplings . Hot and sour soup . Comfortable . Milk buns . Nice.

Dim sum ????

Jasleen Anand

Mostly white people eating here. Not good. Juicy dumplings had no flavor, no juice & skin was too thick. Pea shoots were not tender. Har gow - decent. Scallop/shrimp dumplings & sticky rice - good.
