Dim sum in Sacramento has grown beyond the basics. From push-cart service on Stockton Boulevard to modern tablet-ordering in Arden, the best spots deliver har gow with translucent wrappers, siu mai that actually taste like shrimp, and egg tarts with flaky shells that shatter properly.
New Canton Restaurant top-pick
Mon-Sun 11AM-9PM
New Canton has been a dim sum fixture in Sacramento for years. Push-cart service on weekends covers all the classics: har gow, siu mai, char siu bao, and turnip cakes. The Stockton Blvd location means Vietnamese-Chinese crossover dishes appear too.
Dragon Palace best-value
Mon-Sun 11AM-9:30PM
Consistent dim sum in a spacious Arden setting. Shumai and egg tarts are standouts, and weekend service has enough variety to keep regulars coming back. A solid option for those who prefer the Arden area over Stockton Blvd.

Tablet-ordering brings made-to-order dim sum directly to your table. The fish quality is noticeably better than typical buffet dim sum, and the hot food menu includes noodle dishes and congee. Modern and efficient.
