What People Are Saying About Lakeside Chinese Deli
The Editor

In Short – Lakeside is focused on its food, not it's décor--just as you should be. Saunter in off the street for a snack, or plan a group dim sum feast, but either way you will find a wonderful bounty of fresh flavors and ingredients, served to you by Lakeside's friendly proprietors. Minced shrimp finds its way into meltingly soft stuffed eggplant and tiny, pursed dumplings that are ingeniously light.

THE BEST DIM SUM IN THE CITY
by stmarten
Sad news for those who have frequented this incredible place. It is now closed as the owners have retired. There is a paper sign in the door advising of this. We can only hope that Brenda comes out of retirement or her employees open a place as great as this was. If anyone knows of a place with the same quality and style as the Lakeside, PLEASE post it. Regards to all the nice people we saw there and best wishes to Brenda and her staff.
- Pros: Food Quality -Value
- Cons: Closed- Retired!

Good for Chinese basics
by strater
I get take out from this restaurant and like to order chinese basic foods that I can't find anywhere else in chinatown. It's the simple pleasures like fried rice with salty fish that make this restaurant so worth it for me! They have quick and polite service along with fair prices - can't beat it!
- Pros: Polite and quick service
- Cons: Not for fine dining

I love this place!!!
by vjtom
Lakeside's food is awesome. Their dim sum is just like the dim sum I grew up eating in NYC's Chinatown restaurants. And their rice platters are very tasty. The prices are very affordable, and are a really great value considering the quality of the food. I typically can eat for less than $6 and have more than enough. The decor is very plain (typical mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant) but I'd rather have the owners concentrate on the cooking anyways. Their food is just like Grandma's!
- Pros: inexpensive, excellent food, great value
- Cons: none
