We’re currently out on the road with JJ, but I thought I’d share some photos from a recent visit to Diamond Palace with the Missus. While DP is our current favorite Dim Sum in San Diego; it comes with a matching price tag…even more expensive than the recently opened Hong Kong Kitchen & Dim Sum which is in Kearny Mesa! Since I’d done a pretty recent post; I’ll keep the verbiage to a minimum.
Anyway, as before, it was all the stuffs with shrimp that hit the spot…in fact, most everything we ordered had shrimp.
The Pan Fried Shrimp and Chive Cake was much better this time around. The wrapper was tender with a bit of crunch and pull, but wasn’t overly chewy. Great shrimp and light pungency-oniony tones.
For us, the Shrimp Siu Mai is a favorite.
Lot’s of plump, oceany-savory-sweet shrimp. Mild crunch……the wrapper was fairly tender.
The wrapper on the Har Gow is still a bit too thick, but the shrimp makes up for it.
A new favorite is the Shrimp and Chive Crystal Dumplings.
Now, the 64,000 dollar question……what did this cost? Can you guess? I guess this is where they would cue up the countdown song in Jeopardy?
Well, can you imagine…$75 for dim sum? Ouch! I mean, this is Diamond Palace, not Sea Harbour? But such are prices these days!

I know “FOY” Dereck was interested in checking this place out. I’m wondering if you made it here yet?
