Dim Sum World - Monterey Park

We had been coming here for many years and had enjoyed very good food. HOWEVER, in the past couple years, we have noticed a slow deterioration in the quality of food and service. We were here the first weekend in August, 2023 with friends and relatives from out of town, some of whom had eaten here years before. They were surprised at the restaurant nowadays and basically, it was a Thumbs Down . Some reasons: 1. Many of the dishes, which SHOULD be hot, were luke warm. This is not good, not just for taste, but the spread of germs possibly. 2. Some dishes, which should be crispy, were slightly soggy and lukewarm. 3. Service personnel many of them ACT as if they are doing you a favor, short with you, ignore you, or very slow in servicing you. Examples: Ask one of the cart women if they had a certain dish. Got a very rough NO and she turned away. Asked another server for some forks so we could use it as service to cut food and distribute. Was ignored and it took about 10 15 min. before he came with the forks, never acknowledged who asked for it. Some of the cart women just started putting dishes on the table w/o us asking for it. Aside from the restaurant itself, the building and mall The parking is adequate, though on weekends, it could be extremely crowded (get there before 11). However, over the last few years, we have NEVER seen the parking lot escalator without parts of it being Under Maintenance which means no escalator going up or down, and this weekend, no escalator service at all. To compound this constant escalator problem, the elevator was out of service, necessitating climbing stairs to go up to the restaurant on the Second Floor. We are NEVER coming back here again. SUGGESTION: Go to Lunasia Dim Sum in Alhambra, approximately 2 miles from Atlantic Seafood. Much better food and service, though prices are slightly higher, but portions bigger. We found out about it from friends and will be going there in the future.

Hands down the best dim sum I’ve ever had. We got dumplings, beef wrap, sticky rice, and fried rice. Absolutely delicious. If I could give the owners of this restaurant a Michelin star, I would.

It was our first time trying Dim Sum World and it was incredibly delicious. Our family will definitely be back again. Its a small mom and pop restaurant so the food does take at most 15 minutes to come out, but the wait is definitely worth it. We ordered our food, ate and then decided we wanted seconds so we re ordered. So good. I wont knock them a star because the food was great but just fyi they do not have highchairs for the little ones.

The environment is quiet and peaceful. When I went there was no one there except us. I read a review that claimed the place was dirty but it was clean and the owner even wiped down our table despite there being no mess.The food tasted homemade. The beef soup we ordered had a light savory broth and the beef chunks were tender and delicious. The pork dumplings we ordered were juicy. I would consider coming back. Their Thai tea is also delicious.

Food was delicious, this was my first time eating here. I also ordered the fried rice but forgot to take a picture and it was delicious as well. Only negative thing that I have to say is that they only accept cash.
