" Delicious food and great service! I loved the carts of food being wheeled around; it made for a fun dining experience. The shrimp dumplings were phenomenal! Every single dish was fantastic. I recommend going early on weekends due to the rush, but it's worth it. The atmosphere was lively, which created a nice vibe for our family dinner. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say I had one of the best dim sum experiences at Diamond Palace. The staff was friendly, and the food was plentiful. Highlights were the shrimp siu mai and mango pudding! They offered a large selection, and everything was steaming hot too. Some items were pricey, but the quality of food made up for it. I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially for birthday celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Diamond Palace! This is my new go-to dim sum place. The endless variety of dumplings, buns, and other delicacies was impressive. I loved the fried shrimp rolls, so crispy and fresh! The prices are a bit high, but the quality of food was worth it. The only downside was the busy atmosphere, but it's a sign of all the happy diners enjoying their meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family celebrated a birthday at Diamond Palace, and it was a hit! The service was friendly and attentive, and the variety of foods was impressive. Even my picky eater enjoyed the dumplings. It did feel a bit crowded, but the atmosphere was lively, adding to the celebration. I think this is my favorite dim sum spot now! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I randomly chose Diamond Palace while in San Diego, and it exceeded my expectations. The staff were warm and welcoming, the food was abundant, and everything tasted freshly prepared. The dim sum felt authentic, especially the siu mai and har gow. I also enjoyed the atmosphere – lively but not overwhelming. Worth every bit of the price! " (*Curated Review*)

" Diamond Palace is definitely an experience! The food was good, but it does come at a price. The har gow was delightful, but I felt the portion sizes were smaller than I expected. Service was adequate; our waiter was polite but seemed overwhelmed at times. I think I would try other dim sum places before considering a repeat visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Diamond Palace, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The service was decent, but the kitchen seemed chaotic. The portions were generous, but some of the dishes lacked the authentic flavor I was hoping for. I'm not sure I'd make the drive again when there are other options nearby, but it wasn't a total loss. The chicken feet were great! " (*Curated Review*)
