The story

Lunasia Dim Sum House: Michelin Bib Gourmand Dim Sum in Los Angeles

Dim Sum, Redefined

Lunasia Dim Sum House has been serving the Los Angeles community since 2009, growing from its first dining room in Alhambra into one of Southern California’s most beloved dim sum destinations. Guided by a passion for Cantonese culinary tradition and a spirit of innovation, Lunasia is known for its handcrafted jumbo dumplings and modern takes on classic dim sum.

The restaurant’s philosophy—"Tradition + Innovation"—is evident in every basket that arrives at the table. Generous portions, quality ingredients, and thoughtful hospitality have made it a gathering place for families and friends across Southern California. The Michelin Guide recognized this commitment with a Bib Gourmand award, honoring good quality, good value cooking.

From Alhambra to Pasadena

The original Alhambra location remains a favorite, but Lunasia’s vision has expanded. In Pasadena, Lunasia Signature offers a refined evolution: a modern Cantonese dining experience rooted in the ritual of yum cha. Here, the menu features delicate dim sum alongside premium seafood and chef-driven specialties, presented with contemporary sophistication. The space itself is designed as a destination for connection, where tradition meets elegance.

The Art of Dim Sum

Dim sum traces its roots to southern China, where it emerged as small bites served with tea. At Lunasia, that heritage is honored daily. Handcrafted dumplings—jumbo in size and flavor—are complemented by baked radish puffs, barbecue combinations, and abalone chicken soup. Each dish reflects a deep respect for Cantonese cuisine, with a modern touch that keeps the tradition alive for a new generation.

Whether you visit the bustling original house in Alhambra or the elevated Signature in Pasadena, Lunasia Dim Sum House delivers a timeless experience: shared plates, warm service, and dim sum that speaks for itself.
