Yum! I'm from Colorado and we don't exactly have the most fabulous dim sum options. Love that this place opens so early and that it's located in one of my favorite spots, ID. This place is a hole in the wall, which are my favorite kinds of places. It wasn't too busy and it felt cozy inside, especially after warming up with some tea. My friends recommended this place, but said that the shrimp shumai is pretty mediocre. With that being said, my friends and I ordered everything but the shrimp shumai. The shrimp rice paper rolls were so yummy, especially with some soy sauce and chili oil. A second favorite had to have been the Chinese broccoli. I don't know what they do to make it taste so good, but it makes me want to eat more veggies, haha. I don't know if I would say that this is the best dim sum that I've ever had, but I will say that it was pretty damn good. Would recommend.
We wanted to get reasonably priced, authentic dim sum in China town and this spot delivered! The soup dumplings were my favorite.
Amazing that they are open for Christmas!! Everything tasted freshly made and delicious. Definitely our new go to place for dim sum.
We came to Homestyle Dim Sum as a party of 4 on Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. We were able to be seated right away, and we ordered several things. Our go to's: a green onion bun, the shrimp chive dumplings, soup dumplings, beef chow fun, pork rice roll. their radish and taro cakes. their salt & pepper squid. Everything was so good. I have gone to their restaurant since 2017, and their flavors only improve every time I am lucky enough to go. They are such an underrated spot!
My last review of Homestyle Dim Sum was almost 5 years ago. A lot has happened since then with the pandemic, Asian Hate vandalisms and break-ins, increased homelessness and crime in the neighborhood, hyper-inflation, and now bird flu affecting cost and availability of their baked goods. Homestyle has largely stayed consistent and, luckily, afloat, throughout these past years. With the price of eggs, I noticed they sell much fewer pastries that require eggs. I still come for dim sum take-outs (vs. dine-in). The same ladies who worked here when this place opened replacing Duk Li Dum Sum are still here. The restaurant did two small maintenance type of remodeling, keeping this modest restaurant functional in an old building. I support mom and pop businesses. This is one of those businesses. I am writing this update mostly to post the latest menu photos. They don't have a website, so it is important to have these photos handy. For lunar new year, we ordered two noodle dishes, one beef, one shrimp, to supplement the home-cooking and the Chinese BBQ from King's. Their noodle dishes are the thin egg noodles that are commonly used in Cantonese style soy sauce noodles. The preparation is the same regardless of protein, stir fried with bean sprouts, onions, and green onions. No change in overall rating.
