Lunasia Dim Sum House - CA 91801

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

Lunasia is one of my go-to spots for dim sum. It’s a little pricier than other places, but the quality is solid and the dim sum pieces are noticeably bigger than most spots. Came by for dinner and ordered shumai, chicken feet, hargow, scallop dumplings, Chinese broccoli, and walnut shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. The walnut shrimp was especially good — definitely getting it again. They do last call at 8pm, so keep that in mind if you’re coming later.

Dim sum is dim sum, but this place was super solid. Came here from Toronto, all my friends recommended Lunasia. The food was super good, i’ve never seen a dim sum restaurant so busy before but you get in fast! Not too expensive but the food is definitely worth the price point.

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).

This is a very popular dim sum spot in the area, and for good reason. We arrived around noon, and the place was already bustling with a full crowd. The dim sum offerings were authentic and satisfying. The char siu stood out with its rich, flavorful glaze and deep ruby-red color, while the beef tripe was intensely aromatic, infused with bold scallion and ginger notes.

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.

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.
