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).

They have huge selection of dim sum and you order them using a QR code which they will provide then deliver the food to your table. No longer the traditional dim sum place where you see bunch of food servers going around with their carts and grab whatever you desire. Food was delicious and ordering is not really complicated and they get them out fast and hot! We got in early Sunday morning and not much of a crowd to form a line but people started coming in and quickly builds up a line of wait to get you seated. They have big tables to accommodate large group. Parking is available in the building.

Unfortunately they served us rare beef inside the beef rice noodles. We asked two separate staff members to explain whether the beef was actually cooked or not. Both staff said offhandedly that it was the “marinade” which made the meat look red. Both of us tried small pieces and the texture still didn’t taste right. A third staff member walked by and eyed the beef rice noodles curiously but didn’t stop to rectify the issue. My husband has a sensitive stomach and vomited afterwards & experienced serious indigestion. We didn’t finish the rest and when we got home, all it took was 5 more minutes of steaming for the meat to turn into a more “normal” and well done color. Next time, please believe customers when they point out the uncooked state of meat rather than gaslight them into thinking it was cooked properly. Some people may like their beef rare, but not inside rice noodles.
Other dim sum dishes we ordered were just fine but the rare/barely cooked beef rice noodles turned us off from wanting to return to Lunasia (and yes, we could just avoid ordering this particular dish in the future but the staff’s no-can-do attitudes and the fact that such a basic avoidable error happened at a supposedly well regarded Michelin rated dim sum restaurant doesn’t make it an appealing place for us to return to). If the rice noodles can’t be made right, who knows what other dishes also have similar issues and the potential to make customers severely ill?

1/11/26: Excellent dim sum. Had siu mai, shrimp rice noodle, wantons in chili oil, steamed pork bun, fried pork bun, sticky rice in leaf, jujubee dessert. All were very good.

My friend and I placed our order at 3:23 PM — four dishes in total.
By 4:05 PM, we had already been waiting over 40 minutes. A neighboring table that ordered about 20 minutes after us had already received their tiger prawn vermicelli, yet our lobster noodles had not arrived.
We asked one of the servers to check on the dish. After confirming with the kitchen, she told us that the lobster noodles had not even been started, and asked whether we would like to wait another 15–20 minutes or cancel the order. At that point, we had already been waiting close to 50 minutes.
I requested to speak with the manager.
The manager’s response was even more shocking. He told us, “Our chef is already working on it. We have to catch and prepare the lobster, which takes about 50 minutes. Give us another 5 minutes and it will be ready.”
This explanation made absolutely no sense. One moment we were told the dish had not even been started. The next moment the manager claimed it had already been in progress and would be ready in five minutes. A lobster noodle dish prepared in five minutes after a 50-minute delay is honestly not something I would feel comfortable eating.
As a manager, giving customers contradictory and dismissive explanations like this is extremely unprofessional. It felt as though we were being treated like we wouldn’t notice the inconsistency. Combined with the overly dark, burnt-looking soft-shell crab we received, it really made us question the standard of this so-called Michelin restaurant.
After this kind of response, we paid the bill and left immediately.
Very disappointing experience

Surprisingly the dim sum are of so rough quality! Shrimp dumplings hargau with thick skin! Super msg in the food! No good! Not worth the Michelin bib gourmet badge! Not recommended

We were a party of 10 so I was concerned about seating but was pleasantly surprised. They sat us at a large circular table in a corner and it was perfect. The place was packed but not noisy and the service was excellent. The food was good. I don’t have much experience with dim sum but everything I had was very good, sampled several different dishes.

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

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.
