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?
When did dim sum get so expensive?
Last couple of years have been crazy Franklin!
I was thinking about taking my fam here, but the prices scare me
Yes, the prices have really gone up Kimo!
looks delicious but the prices sound scary!
Yes, getting pricey Kat!
Diamond Palace is pricy for dim sum, but at least you’re getting quality. Last December, five of us had dim sum for about $125. I don’t remember how many dishes we ordered, but it included a noodle dish.
It is our current favorite dim sum in San Diego Sandy!
I’m planning a two large round table dim sum birthday lunch for my mom at Diamond Palace next Sunday and not looking forward to the bill!
Hopefully it’s not too bad Jack!
That’s our go-to as well. At this point we just try to ignore the prices – not just there but everywhere!
Yes, I’m trying my best to do that as well James! But, it’s not working out too well! ;o)
That looks good.
It’s our current favorite ST!
