Joyful Dim Sum Bistro 43486 Ellsworth Street, Fremont, CA 94539

"The staff was the best part, very friendly and helpful. The food was good. Loved the sesame balls and pork buns. Prices were average. Environment was underrated, but clean."

"This small dim sum place in the Mission area of Fremont is fantastic. Offering solid quality, amazing flavors, and reasonable prices, it's my go-to spot. I always indulge in their har gow, sui mai, and chili oil dumplings – they're a must-try!"

"Food tasted alright came in these take out boxes some were good and the prices were a bit cheaper than a regular dim sum place but don’t understand the hype of this place ."

"Great snack/dim sum place. Affordable, really tasty and right portions. All the dishes/ingredients are fresh and tastes great, authentic flavors and just the right portions. They are all very affordable as well so you can try out different dishes. The restaurant is pretty small but there is outdoor seating and it can hold up to 15~20 people. My new favorite brunch spot!"

"Happy there’s another new dim sum place in Fremont! It’s great to be able to order some dim sum without the huge crowds in the big dim sum restaurants. My husband was able to order some of his favorites like chicken feet, baked bbq buns, shrimp and chive dumplings, egg tarts, etc. I was able to order some vegetarian items, which is always welcomed as I’m vegetarian. I tried the vegetarian dumplings, samosas, spring rolls, and pineapple buns. My husband really enjoyed his dishes, and I would say for me the pineapple buns was the best. I was hoping for a few more choices but it’s usually more rare in dim sum places for vegetarians. We dined in and loved how there was a water station and tea area that you can make your own tea. Everything is self served right now but service was still great. They proactively let us know about the water and tea and managed our food accordingly (ie letting us eat some food first and then bring over additional ones so it doesn’t all get cold). It’s a small shop so wouldn’t be for big groups. Would definitely go back to try some other items as it looks like weekends have more choices."
