Dim Sum in Sherman Oaks Authentic Hong Kong Style Minutes Away

Sherman Oaks has no shortage of restaurants. But if you’re craving real dim sum; hand-folded har gow, fluffy char siu bao, silky cheung fun,  the kind prepared daily by Hong Kong-trained chefs then Shanghai Rose in Studio City is your closest answer. We’re less than 10 minutes from the heart of Sherman Oaks, and we serve dim sum seven days a week.

Whether you’re meeting family for Sunday brunch on Ventura Boulevard or looking for a weeknight dim sum dinner near the 405, we’ve made it easy for Sherman Oaks residents to eat well without driving across town.

Why Sherman Oaks Diners Choose Shanghai Rose

Most dim sum spots in the San Fernando Valley operate on a cart system that runs out by noon, leaving late arrivals picking through leftovers. Shanghai Rose is different. We serve dim sum all day, every day — from 11:30 AM through close — so your food is freshly prepared whether you arrive at noon or 7 PM.

  • Hong Kong-trained chefs on staff, every service

  • Open kitchen — watch your food being made
  • Dim sum cart service plus full à la carte ordering
  • Free parking — easy access from the 101 and 405

Our restaurant sits at 12050 Ventura Blvd in Studio City — the same Ventura Boulevard corridor Sherman Oaks residents travel daily. Getting here from Sherman Oaks is straightforward: head east on Ventura, cross Laurel Canyon, and you’re here. No freeway required.
