One of my staples in Riverside. I've been coming here since 2019 when I started college. The Peking Duck is always a hit, but some of the items have came out bad before. Service is always attentive, and the space is really big. There's even tables for 10 or more people.

This is my go-to dim sum restaurant in the Riverside area. It's definitely got the Cantonese dim sum house feel. I always wonder why it never gets buzzing like the ones in more Asian neighborhoods. But I enjoy the hidden gem feel of it. Food is reliable. Good dim sum options, has all the classics. You order from a menu instead of choosing from a cart being pushed around. Service is at a good pace. They really try their best to accommodate you. I wish the sweetened lemon tea had more lemon slices though. Love this place. Give it a try; it won't disappoint. They do good takeout too.

I've been eating at Big Sky since I moved to Riverside 5 years ago. With a casual atmosphere, quick service, and never any wait times, I often go in my PJs for an improvised dinner when too lazy to cook. There are lots of vegetarian dishes to choose from. They're really good, but I do remember the animal based dishes being quite a bit better-- more flavorful and better seasoned. My favorite was the hand shredded chicken with jellyfish and the HK style spare ribs. The veggie dishes are light and healthy tasting though with less salt and oil in comparison. Personally though, when I want Chinese food, I want something home style-- meaning savory, saucy, and spicy. Prices have not been so good lately. I haven't come as much as I used to because of it. Other Chinese restaurants, closer to Rowland Heights-Pasadena are a lot cheaper and just as delicious. I still crave Big Sky on occasion though. It's one of the better Chinese restaurants in Riverside!

Place an order on the phone a head of time before driving to them for pick up. Made it there in 20 minutes, They had my order ready . Quick in out. The soy sauce chicken was moist , fish maw soup were flavorful

Dim sum in Riverside! Although the selection is not great, to be able to get decent dim sum without going very far is certainly a plus. Got the standard steamed shrimp dumplings, pork & shrimp dumplings, vegetables wrapped in tofu skin, Shanghai juicy dumplings, salt & pepper chicken wings, stuffed sticky rice in lotus leaves, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and lobster noodles. They didn't have a seafood tank visible but the lobster was live and must have been kept in a tank inside the kitchen. The noodles were not the best, but passable. And if I can get fresh lobster noodles in Riverside, I am not complaining! The standouts were the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The broccoli was really fresh, perfectly cooked, and crunchy. Chicken wings were succulent and delicious. The other dim sum dishes were all quite decent. Service was not very attentive, typical of a Chinese restaurant that is not super classy. The restaurant is quite spacious, didn't feel cramped. My only complaint was that some of the prices were unreasonably high. $11.88 for the stuffed sticky rice in lotus leaves and the Shanghai juicy dumplings were just out of line. But overall it's not a bad place for Chinese food in Riverside.

Big Skyy is great place to go in big groups!!! Some of my favorite dinners in college would be coming with a few peers. The portions are enough to share. Parking: it's generally easy to find a space on the side of the restaurant. University is a busy street so it's easy to miss the parking. Selection: the menu is HUGE. Do not be afraid to ask for recommendations or do some research before coming so you don't get overwhelmed. The little pig buns are always fun and great for a quick insta or snap post.

Love big sky. Best Chinese food in Riverside. Consistently always good. Have ordered to go and eaten inside as well, like on a friday night. I love how they serve dim sum at night too for dinner. Service is usually quick. They can get busy though. Their honey walnut shrimp is the BEST. Perfectly and lightly crisped with the mayo sauce. Even their bbq pork noodles were fresh. The pork was nice and juicy, not tough. Dim sum was great too. The juicy dumplings were indeed soupy inside. It's a little dingy inside. Seats are showing their age, upholstery is dirty since they're cloth. But no smells and otherwise, clean. Tad pricey, but it's quality food. (ordered 2 dishes, 2 dim sums, & side of white rice plus hot tea = $60).
