California Eats guide · checked October 2026California dim sum
53 dim sum houses across 5 of California's 9 regions, each checked open in October 2026 against its own website, menu or ordering page, or a dated local news story. Dim sum houses and bakeries in the San Gabriel Valley, Chinatowns, the Peninsula and beyond, with headline dishes.
About this list
What's on the menus, most often: siu mai, har gow, custard buns, egg tarts, pork xiao long bao, shrimp dumplings (har gow), shrimp rice noodle roll, bbq pork buns (cha siu bao). Each place lists what its own menu shows.
Our method: for every place we found a 2025 or 2026 source of its own, such as the menu on its website, an ordering page it runs, or a dated story in the local press, and read it in October 2026. A listing that only carries the word in its name, or whose website has gone dark, stays in the app's directory and off this page. No review site fed this list, and it runs by region and town, never by score.
The app sorts the same dim sum houses by how far each one is from you, and tapping one brings up its Apple Maps card, hours and photos included.
