If you are going to leave it in a 120 degree car unprotected, you've got minutes. If you have it packed in ice in a cooler, you've got hours. If I knew that I was going to pick up frozen, I would carry a cooler.
More than once I have stopped at the dollar store and bought a styrofoam cooler to carry unexpected perishable purchases.

If you explain why you were speeding, the highway cop will probably let you go with just a warning to slow down, you're probably gonna cook 'em as soon as you get home anyway.

Until they're thawed out & spoiled?
Seriously, it depends on how long it is from point of origin to point of destination. But if you're concerned, bring a cooler or some plastic bags & ice packs along.
That said, I frequently shop at an upscale market that's about 40 minutes away & often buy fresh live seafood & frozen dim sum, pierogies, etc. Everything arrives home in tip-top shape.

How does ordering online make it better? You still have to pick it up & bring it home.

So then if you have that option, I'm confused by the original question.

I had some dim sum yesterday. It was delicious. There's a to go place 15 min. away from my parents' house and they serve Chinese fast food, dim sum, and BBQ.

You're making ZERO sense here Nick. You're the one who said maybe you should order online. Wake up dear.

Nick, carry an insulated cooler bag with ice or frozen gel pack to china town and bring home your dim sum in that. You will have not problem keeping it at safe temps for the duration of your trip and more.
If you can pre-chilll like Andy suggests you should have no problem. I pack my foam coolr with ice packs and drive 45 minutes one-way to stock up on meat and frozen pizza dough. I have never had a problem even in the summer.
