Irvine Food Exploration | Palette Dim Sum

📍 Palette Dim Sum 3015 El Camino Real, Tustin, CA 92782 Part of the renowned Koi Palace and Palette Tea House group — this is their first Southern California location! The restaurant focuses on modern Cantonese cuisine, blending traditional dim sum with creative, contemporary twists. It’s all about visual artistry and flavor innovation. Currently in soft opening — reservations only, limited menu. When we went, even xiaolongbao were unavailable. Food quality is solid across the board. The most photogenic items: 🦢 Swan Durian Puff — beautiful presentation 🌈 Colorful Steamed Dumplings — vibrant and Instagram-worthy Only letdown: the egg tarts were just okay. #IrvineEats #DimSum #ModernCantonese #PaletteDimSum #KoiPalace #SoCalFood #SoftOpening
