Had an enjoyable Dimsum on New Years day 2026. The portions were larger than other Dimsum places. Average about $10 per plate. At 10am opening, no waiting. However by 12pm, the estimate waiting was 45 minutes. Service was consistent and there were enough staff to fetch tea and drinks without having to wait too long. The ambiance was busy and festive loud. Plentiful parking in shared plaza that accommodate SUV and small RVs.

Many say this is now the best dim sum (Cantonese brunch) place in San Diego and it really is. The quality and portions of their dim sum items are definitely up to par. Note that at lunch time on weekends, even their huge dining hall fills up. They serve dim sum all day, but after the lunch crowd, some items would run out.

I was really disappointed with my experience at Diamond Palace Dim Sum. While the food itself was great, the service completely took away from the dinner. Our server repeatedly ignored our table for over 30 minutes. We kept raising our hands and trying to get her attention, and each time she said she would come back after attending to another table. Unfortunately, she continued to focus on just two tables that already had plenty of food, while we were left with an empty table and no service at all. I wish our server had been more attentive and courteous like some of the other staff we observed. Good food alone isn’t enough to make up for poor service, and this experience left a bad impression.

This dinning experience was a 5/5. My server name is MIKE, such a great guy. He recommended the best dishes and assisted on how to mix the sauces for the best flavor.

This place is incredible. Authentic Dim Sum including the authentic experience with the carts feels really rare these days, so I was delighted to find this restaurant even before sitting down to order. The inside is clean, staff is very nice, and if you see a cart you like just throw your arm up and flag them down and they come right over. The food was delicious. The owner Michael made sure to keep the establishment good home cooking with no artificial tastes or buns out of a bag. I already wanted to go back a day later it was so good.
