Santa Monica Dim Sum Restaurant Set to Open

Lotus Dim Sum Dumpling House opening in former P.F. Chang’s space in June

By Kerry Slater

A Dim Sum restaurant is set to open soon in downtown Santa Monica.

Lotus Dim Sum Dumpling House will open in June in the former P.F. Chang’s space on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and 4th Street in downtown Santa Monica. The restaurant made the announcement on its Instagram page.

There is not much information about the restaurant on its website and a menu has not yet been shared. The restaurant’s Instagram, however, provides a preview of two offerings diners can expect: Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) and Xiao Long Bao. The dumplings and Bao at the restaurant will be all homemade, the website states.

In addition to dine-in service, Lotus Dim Sum Dumpling House will also be available on various delivery platforms.
