Foods are good but plenty of flies. Their lunch specials prize is very reasonable. They just need to get rid of the insects.

We used you live in the Fremont area and this was one of our favorite places for dim sum. We goes there for their Baked Salted Egg Yolk Buns (when hot it's like a lava bun), however on this visit all 3 orders were cold making it like custard buns. The services here are fast and the dim sum are made to order only. Not sure what happened this time. read more

When we walked in at about 12:20 on a Friday afternoon, there was a long line from the door all the way up to the podium. One woman turned toward me and told me that this was the to-go line. For a table, we should walk up the left side to the podium. The dining room was about 50% occupied, some tables with food, others waiting. We noticed four employees working the front of the house. Two Asian women, one Asian man and a Caucasian man. There wasn't anyone working the podium or both women were passing by it and barking directions to the two men or the customers themselves. The Asian man did answer questions at some tables and collect their lunch order sheets. The Caucasian man helped where he could by clearing and setting tables, bringing extra napkins and filling tea pots with hot water when requested. He also collected our order sheet when our host thrust it out at him. Food came out from the kitchen relatively quickly. It seemed like the bottleneck was mostly due to not having a stationary Host managing the dining room. Table assignments appeared to be helter-skelter rather than in an organized fashion. I would have tried to seat incoming tables together in one area so servers wouldn't have to pinball throughout the entire restaurant. A minute of walking saved becomes a minute to offer service. The Caucasian man was friendly and working but I think that he lacked proper training. If he were constantly picking up empty plates from tables, it would create a reason for him to interact with the guests. Familiarity should lead to better service. At least that's my opinion. How was the food? Unfortunately, not as good as I remember. The skin on the Har Gow was too thick and felt even more so when it got cold. The balance of Seaweed Salad and Jelly Fish was off (see picture). The XO Sauce on the Rice Rolls was probably house produced. It lacked the depth of flavor that most XO Sauces give. The Chicken Feet were so-so. The skin on the Chiu Chou Dumplings was also too thick. We also have Deep Fried Chicken Wings (I forgot to take a picture). While the flavor was okay, six flats on a long plate just looked pathetic. The Pan-fried Shrimp and Chive Dumplings and the Siu Mai were both very good. I suspect that if management could come up with the salary for one more server, freeing up one of the women to manage the front of house, that the waits would be shorter and business volume would improve. For now, we'll be watching from the sidelines with an occasional visit looking for the restaurant to return to it glory days. read more

This restaurant is tucked in around business buildings. I have not found a good dim sum restaurant here in the east bay until I came across BK bistro on a random sunday. When we entered, we were so confused cause they had a sign saying to check in and take a number which we did. Apparently there's a lady all the way down the walk way on the side and if another guest didn't tell us to walk all the way down she wasn't gonna know there was a guest in the front. Customer service was decent. I think the time we went everyone was on break except one person. So all the servers were sitting in the dining room eating and chatting with each other along with the only server they had. The food was actually amazing. The dim sum was really good. The steamed bbq pork buns is how I remember it to be. The original taste of a bbq pork buns not the ones that people be changing the taste to. The siomai was really really good as well. Everything was cooked to order so everything was hot when it got to our table. The restaurant itself is huge, definitely need some cleaning and organization. I think this is why a lot of people also orders to go maybe but the food is really good, service can be worked on. read more

Five stars for the dim sum, especially the baked bbq pork buns that are even better than Michelin-star Tim Ho Wan. Currently the best value for dim sum in Fremont. I miss their mango shrimp roll, but the shrimp chive tofu skin roll is a good substitute when I feel like a fried shrimp item. The won ton noodle soup and egg tofu with pea sprouts are also quite good. Opens early at 10am, so you can get in before the weekend crowds usually congregate. read more

I've never seen a restaurant get so busy right at noon on a weekday! A group of us decided to try dim sum for lunch, and I'm glad we arrived around 11:30. It was already starting to fill up, but there was no wait and we were seated right away. Service was quick, our orders were taken promptly, and everything we tried was delicious. We started with steamed Shanghai dumplings, sweet pork buns, and potstickers (the potstickers were my favorite!). Next, we had shrimp and pork dumplings and beef rice noodle rolls (so good) , which were also excellent. By the time we left at 12:30, every table was full and there was a long line of people waiting to be seated. The restaurant is huge, with multiple large tables. Great food, quick service--I'd definitely come back. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here to sit down and eat. We usually order the dim sum items to go and it has never disappointed us! Food here is very tasty. The dim sum is good and the main dishes as well. I came here as a party of 8 around lunch on a Tuesday and it was a little busy for the linch hour, but we were still able to seated right away. Service was a little hectic. We had to ask for little things (water, napkins, more food) more than once before we got what we needed. At one point we weren't sure if the server was even listening to us. It was also very stuffy inside the restaurant, like there was no air flow! Overall, the food is good for the price. I'd order for pickup / to go instead of actually sitting down to eat next time since the service wasn't too efficient. read more

Excellent service and food is very can't beat the prices also. Will definitely be back.

This is a basic Cantonese dim sum restaurant with some stir fried beef noodles, fried rice , porridge and a separate menu for dim sum . We ordered the steamed beef balls with tofu skin . This was one of the best dim sum . Beef balls were good size and well seasoned with green onion and sauce . The salt and pepper tofu cubes were nicely made . Crispy on the outside and soft inside . We asked for separate dipping sauce so it can stay crispy when we ate it . The last dish we ordered was salt & pepper chicken wings . They gave us all flats ( the middle part and most delicious part of the wings ) . The green pepper brought the flavor to a higher level . The wings had crispy skin and the inside were tender . I would say this is the best wings dish compared to other restaurants in town . The service is a little rude but very efficient. You can also phone in your order or order on line then come to pick up the food . Lines are usually longer on Friday and Saturday. read more

BK's is one of our favorite go to. Their food is always hot and fresh. Their sui mai and sautéed fish dish are our top choices. Not to mention their fried or steamed dim sum that melts in the mouth. Amy has been very helpful, attentive and welcoming. We highly recommend this place. read more

This is one of the last few decent dim sum places in Fremont. If you don't feel like driving to the South Bay for dim sum, this will definitely give you your fix. I may be biased because I used to go here with my grandma in law when she was still around. We've ordered everything here and it's all delicious. If you don't want to have to wait, get here right when they open. Otherwise, you'll be stuck waiting a long time to be seated, especially with a party greater than 4. Once it gets busy, you'll have the expected liveliness and hectic dim sum ambiance. The place is casual and can be crowded so be prepared. I guess the only thing to note is that you can easily run up the bill. But that's the case anywhere that you order a la carte. It's worth it though! So arrive earlier than lunch time, and arrive hungry. read more

What an amazing feast we have! I love coming here for Chinese food. We were here during my dad's birthday and ordered so much. The atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. I was so hungry and went full afterwards lol You can see how much space is filled up to the point to where we have to set additional plates at the sides of the table. If you love dim sum especially during lunch time, I highly recommend you go here! I'm looking forward to coming here again! read more

The reviews on here are WACK! My family loved this place :) Came on a random Wednesday lunch and it was sooooo good. We ordered fried taro, steamed bean curd rolls, char siu bao, shrimp and beef rice rolls, salt and pepper tofu, TRUFFLE SIU MAI** (get this), and potstickers (skippable). This place was everything I wanted in a dim sum place. Was bummed they didn't have carts but it was even better bc we just ordered everything off the menu and it came out piping hot. The fillings on everything were stuffed to the brim. We will deffff be back. read more

The restaurant gets busy on weekends. Luckily on a Saturday afternoon we got a table for 4 in 5-10mins. They hand you over a sheet to pick your options as soon as you enter. There are multiple dim sum options so I would recommend to do your homework before coming, Food was overall good and decently priced. My fav were the chives and shrimp dumplings, very flavorful. Their chilli sauce made everything taste better. They serve as the dishes get ready, however I wish they had served greens with rest of the food, it came at the very end even after reminding the server several times. Quantity is good so I would say go in a big group so you can enjoy bit of everything! read more

Everything here was amazing! We ordered the fried flounder, the baked bbq pork buns, and the peking style pork chops. The pork chops melted in your mouth and the sauce was incredible! It was tangy and sweet and got on your hands haha but was so yummy. The fried flounder was light and refreshing but super filling. The baked pork buns were my favorite as I love the flour texture on top. However, the service wasn't the best as we had to ask multiple times for utensils and napkins and the waiters never brought us water even though we asked 5 times. I would definitely come back for the food but would probably just order to go next time! read more

Before Covid this was the spot. Afterwards, food has kind of been different. They have a pull number system now and service is still top notch. So many varieties of dim sum. Would not recommended spareribs rice noodle, the noodles weren't flavored with the sweet soy so might as well order spareribs separately. Durian puff too much pastry skin and XLB skin too thick as well. Recommend only when you crave dim sum and you're nearby. Fast service! read more

I've gone here a few times over the past year and sadly, the quality hasn't been as good as I previously remembered. Even though I've come in a small group right when it opened, the food was a little slow to come out and both the daikon and other dim sum dishes (fried shrimp mango) were a bit too oily for my tastes. The prices are a bit higher for individual dishes (think 3-4 pieces for $8-10) compared to other places I've been. They also charge a small fee for hot tea, which seems new, and you're expected to tip even if there is minimal service (e.g. they just bring out the dishes). Maybe it was a fluke the couple of times I've gone, and I might just have an outlier experience. I have gotten takeout here that made for a better experience. I just wouldn't go out of my way to make a visit when there is higher quality dim sum closer to me! read more

I just learned about this place a couple months ago. I go on some Sundays at opening since then. This is your typical old school dimsum restaurant. Pricing is very good for smaller amounts so you can get a variety items for the table. Everything I had here was delicious. This place is not fancy, no frills, just good food for good prices and good company. Perfect for family or friend lunches. The lines do get long on the busier times of the day but they move people fast so the waits shouldn't be too long. We had dimsum with 4 people and only paid $20 per person. That's a definite win for me especially with how expensive eating out in the bay area is now. Lol Highly re read more

This review is just for the bbq pork buns. It's the best I've ever had... the bun is so soft and the right amount of sweet. The filling is so soft flavorful. I come here to just buy the buns and bring it to parties... it's always a hit... read more

Good chinese food from a very extensive menu: Dim Sum, rice plates, chicken/beef/pork/seafood dishes, noodles, won ton soup, congee. Over the years, we have tried about 70% of the menu, and most dishes are very good -- some favorites are their Har Gow (shrimp dumplings), sticky rice in lotus leaf, won ton noodle soup, fish congee, Kung Pao chicken, and Beef Chow Fun. On our latest visit, we all ordered a lunch rice plate special, which comes with a free can of soda. From the photo you can see how generous the portions are, for a lunch special meant to be one serving. The only critiques are occasionally the beef can be a little chewy, the service can be spotty especially when crowded, and the takeout times can be longer than estimated. Large, free parking lot. read more

They were racist to us. Party of eight, Caucasian and Mexican, for my husband's birthday. It was going to be dinner and a show. It was our first time there, and we were the only non-Asian people in the restaurant. They let us sit there for 20 minutes, waiting for anyone to come over to our table.. We finally had to ask a passing waiter to take our order, and he told us to use the QR code. We tried, but the code wasn't working. They didn't help us. My son-in-law finally just asked them to take our orders like a normal person. We ordered and then waited for our food. They brought one person's dish and two of the appetizers. Then we waited even longer, and nothing. Other people in the restaurant were served their food, we didn't get served anything else. A waitress came over and asked my mother-in-law if she had ordered beef chow fun. My mother-in-law said yes, and then the waitress informed her that they were sold out and walked off. No apology. I saw them filling to-go orders over and over, but no one came to our table at all. I went up to the counter and told them I didn't want to see them filling any more to go orders until someone brought us our food. He said that the food was ready. It wasn't. He yelled at the person in the back, and they yelled back. Nothing materialized. We were due to be at the show in less than an hour, and our table still hadn't gotten any more food. The ones at our table who had been served were waiting for the rest of us to get theirs, so their food got cold. I had to tell the staff finally that we were just going to leave. I said that I was going to charge THEM an inconvenience fee on the bill for ruining dinner for all of us. The waiter tried to get me to wait so he could rush the food out, but I had had enough, and it was already too late. We had to go. They didn't charge us for the appetizers and the one meal they had brought out. We ended up hurrying down to Panda Express and gulping down food as fast as we could so that we could get to the show on time. I can't explain it any other way than to say that this was racism towards us. I'm still astounded that this happened. read more

The food is great but the service not so. Have to wait a bit before your order is served. The tables are a little bit crowded.

Tucked away in a parking lot where health centers are located I ordered my lunch through the app. I ordered the steamed tofu skins with pork and shrimp and the fried taro puffs which all tasted fresh and yummy! The lunch hour was filled with diners enjoying their made to order dim sum. The food was fantastic and priced reasonably. I absolutely love BK's Bistro! Try it and you'll be coming back for more. read more

I have been here a few times and I've always loved their food. Never salty, never bland... just right. They have 2 menus - the regular, which is regular Chinese dishes and the dimsum menu. Came here with my family. We always get our food from the dimsum menu, except for this time where we also tried the crispy noodles from the regular menu. It was good, with a lot of other proteins and vegetables. I made a mistake of ordering the rice noodle roll with XO sauce, I was actually trying to order the rice noodle roll with shrimp. Nonethelss, the roll with XO sauce was still good, although I would not order it next time time, just because I'd like more protein in my food. Another thing we ordered but I forgot to take a picture of is the baked salty egg custard bun. The bun is so soft and salty egg custard is delicious. It could be messy to eat though as the custard could flow from the bun if you are not careful. Everything else were our regulars and were just perfect. read more

The dim sum was great, but the customer service really needs to improve. Had a to go order and they gave me an incomplete order which I didn't realize until I reached home. Returned to the restaurant and inquired about the missing food. They checked my order and noticed their mistake as the other order was sitting on the table to be picked up. Apparently they should have given me two bags instead of one to begin with. With their mistake, I was expecting at least an apology, but nothing. The waitress was nonchalant. No customer service at all, don't care about their jobs. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with 3 adults, 2 kids and luckily grabbed the last round table. Ordered about 10 dishes to share. Everything was tasty with good size dumplings! Not the skimpy ones. The only dish I didn't love was the snow pea leaves. I didn't order the food or see the menu, but it's usually just sautéed with garlic but no garlic on this dish. And it was pretty bland. Everything else was good - shu mai, shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings (so big and lots of soup), pork spare ribs, chicken feet, salt and pepper eggplant and pumpkin (interesting dish not usually found at Chinese places). Only thing I didn't get to try because we were too full was a rice noodle roll dish. Decent size place with 4 single room restrooms. The service was ok, they are very busy so don't stick around too long. If you need something, get ready to ask when they drop something off at your table. read more

Getting a table always seems to take a while, both because of how packed this place is but also because the host deals with takeout orders and sit-downs one by one. After a few minutes of waiting to be seated in between cramped chairs, it's clear why BK Bistro is so busy. Besides the fantastic Dim Sum, which you order by pencil marking a paper menu, they also serve great standard Chinese fare as well. The food does taste of a decent amount of msg, but if you don't mind that then it's a great lunch place for a good deal. read more

The dim sum was excellent, the reason I gave a 3 star was the qr code is ok but I like ordering from a menu. I couldn't request less salt on the app. Only after the staff brought my receipts and it not in English only characters. The worst part was my wife was eating the fried rice and she had a strand of hair with egg in her mouth!! YUK!! The fried rice was no charge. We will not return. The cooks doesn't use hairnets as I saw a lady only had her hair clipped up. read more

This is the best dim sum place in Fremont. The food is made to order, following the essence of great Cantonese food- fresh is key. The taste is authentic and great. The wait is ok today. 5 minutes only. While waiting for my table, I ordered my dim sum dishes, so they are quickly coming to my table once I settle down. The place is cozier than the traditional dim sum places, as it is clean and contemporary. But like the traditional places, it is a place of joy and family. read more

I had the kung pao chicken and fried rice lunch @ BK Bistro. The food was good, not exceptional. The service I'd give 1 . First she brought my lunch as my friend sat there waiting for several minutes for hers. I had to tell a server or possibly the owner that my friend was still waiting for her meal while I waited for her to get her meal and my food got slightly cold. She never came back to check with us or say yours is coming soon. She never came back to refill our water glass. She never came back to find out if we needed containers to take our leftover food to go so I had to ask someone else. We had to ask for our bill, she was nowhere to be seen. She did show up with the device to take our payment. I think their service needs to be improved. The service was so bad, I'm not sure I'd go back as this was my first visit. read more

It's a decent dim sum place in downtown Fremont. The food was good and the price was ok. - Steamed BBQ pork bun: good. The bun was soft. The filling was a lot and tasted good - Siu mai: good. They had good size and the filling was flavorful. - Chicken feet: hubby liked it and said that it was delicious - Rice noodle roll with crispy donut: good. The rice noodle was slightly thicker than my liking but it was soft and chewy. The chinese donut was cripsy. I wish they gave more sauce and the dipping sauces (sesame paste & hoisin sauce) as well - Crispy durian puff: just ok. The pastry was crispy and delicious. The filling was generous but the durian taste was weak. read more
