    Chocolate Soup Dumplings (6pcs)/(6)
    Chinmay S.

    We tried Bloom and Vine recently for a casual dinner and drinks with our extended family. It's been open for just a few months now, and I got the feeling that they are still working through a few kinks (there was apparently a shortage of menus, for example), but overall we were pretty impressed. The first thing you notice is the restaurant decor and space. For a downtown Mountain View restaurant, it is huge, with plenty of seating both inside and outdoors. The decor is very inviting, classy and spacious. It was actually the first thing I noticed when I walked past the place a couple of weeks ago and what got my attention in the first place. The food was good. We had the vegetarian spring rolls, BBQ pork buns, hot and sour soup, shrimp chive and pork dumplings, vegetarian dumplings, and Yangzhou fried rice. The hot and sour soup and fried rice were the standout dishes for me. Surprisingly, the soup was lukewarm when it first arrived. Most Chinese places serve soup so hot that it'll stay hot till the next morning LOL. But after I mentioned it to our server, he immediately got us a properly hot bowl, and it was fantastic. It's also vegan, which is a rarity for this type of soup, so vegetarians should rejoice! The rest of the items were decent. TBH, you'll find plenty of dumpling/dim sum restaurants in the South Bay with better dim sum, but it's the combination of good food, good drinks, ambience and great service that made the experience memorable. A big shout-out to our server, Alan. He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Very responsive, friendly, funny and patient. Oh, and yes, the Chocolate XLB dumplings were fantastic! Definitely worth a try.

    New Chinese restaurant on Castro. The decor was high end and it has a full bar. We didn't expect authentic Chinese food because of the decor but was pleasantly surprised. The Peking duck was really really good, not too oily and the skin was crispy! The dum sum menu is small but we tried the vegetarian dumplings and lava bun and they were both amazing. Price is slightly higher when compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area but was expected because on the ambiance.

    Overall: 3.8/5 [dine in] We came for dinner on a weekday and the restaurant is huge and beautifully decorated. The service was friendly throughout. Half Signature Peking Duck With Seasonal Side Salad ($48): We skipped the side salad out of caution from the Cyclospora cayetanensis outbreak at the time. The Peking duck was a good amount to share among four people. It came with thin Mandarin pancakes, cucumber, scallion, hoisin sauce, and what I think was cantaloupe which was a unique touch. I made a roll with everything but it still didn't hit for me. My friend liked it though so it might just be a personal preference. Crab Roe Soup Dumplings XLB ($18): Came with 6 plump dumplings. I'm not a fan of roe in general so it wasn't my favorite but it wasn't bad either. Siu Mai ($12): Came with 4 pieces that were juicy and packed with shrimp. Har Gow Shrimp Dumplings ($12): Also 4 pieces and pretty standard. Honey Walnut Shrimp ($30): My favorite dish of the night. The shrimp were crispy and flavorful without being heavily sauced, and I loved the candied walnuts too. Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs ($48): Not worth the price despite the nice presentation. The meat came out at what felt like room temperature with really subtle flavors. My husband reheated the leftovers later and said it tasted way better, which makes me think it sat out for a while before being served. Matcha Silk ($16): Made with Japanese whiskey, matcha, lemon, and egg white foam. It was good and well balanced. Rose Velvet ($16): Made with gin, lychee liqueur, rose syrup, lemon, and egg white foam. I liked this one more since it was sweeter and more fruity and floral. Lotus Frequency ($16): Made with gin, lychee liqueur, lemon, and orange bitters. It leaned citrusy but the lychee liqueur kept it from going fully sour. If you like a Lemon Drop, this is a nice variation to try.

    I thought this place was ok. For Asian food I feel like there's better out there. It was also a bit pricey too. The Peking duck was decent. I think there's just other areas that may make it a bit better. It's more of a fancy Asian Americanized food place. Service is good though. Respectful and nice. And the place has a fancy feel. A nice place to bring a date to.

    Overall, I think the food was pretty good but a bit expensive for what it is! Salt and pepper chicken bites were my favorite. Crispy and flavorful! The rice and Peking duck were pretty good. I did really enjoy the cantaloupe! I've never had that with Peking duck before. Solid Peking duck, but not my favorite in the Bay Area. Mongolian beef was a bit spicy/heavy for my liking, but still a decent dish. No complaints about service, and the restaurant is nice and spacious. Still recommend a visit to try!

    Honestly, the food was quite mediocre. I checked out this spot after seeing a post on Instagram, and the Peking duck looked AMAZING! The restaurant is beautiful. I came on a Friday lunchtime with my husband. We shared a half Peking duck, the chicken and BBQ pork lunch set, and stir-fried pork with rice. Both lunch sets came with soup or soda, and we chose the hot and sour soup. We enjoyed watching a guy expertly slicing Peking duck right in front of us -- which was fascinating, not creepy at all. The guy sliced over a dozen ducks while we were there. I had high expectations for their duck. The Peking duck skin wasn't as crispy as I expected and was a bit fatty, so that was a bit of a letdown. The chicken and BBQ pork were slightly dry, and the BBQ pork lacked enough fat to keep it juicy and tender. My husband's stir-fried pork was a bit overcooked and dry, too. The portions were smaller than I expected. Initially, we worried we might not finish everything, but surprisingly, we did and even ended up treating ourselves to desserts at the next door shop. The prices are quite steep for what you get, and honestly, the quality was just okay. In my opinion, this place was a bit overhyped.

    Additional $12 to use leftover bones to make this soup dish.

    I have a go-to place for the traditional Peking duck, but after I learned that Bloom & Vine offers it as well, I decided to try it out. The Shanghai and crab roe soup dumpling was surprisingly good. The skin was thin, the meat was bursting in flavors and juices. The black lava buns looked exactly like the frozen ones from Ranch, but I had never had one with such soft buns. The beef chow fun was small in size and it was pretty plain. I came mainly for the duck and although the whole duck came with two plates of meat and a good amount of pancakes, it was quite disappointing. The duck lacked flavor, was dry and the skin wasn't crispy(which is the whole idea of the Peking duck) at all. It was a bit ridiculous to be charge extra to use the remaining duck bones for either the duck soup or another seasoned dish. I did like the convenience of being able to reserve a table through Yelp and we went while the Fifa finals were playing on their tvs so everyone in the restaurant was super lively.

    Stir fried cabbage - tasty

    Very pretty restaurant with solid food options. The presentation of the food is very good as well. The peking duck is the main feature. It was presented well and priced similar to other restaurants in the area ($48 for a half duck). It was pretty tasty. The cantaloupe sticks were an interesting inclusion but went well with it. I wish the skin was a little bit crispier. The cabbage was really good but pricey at $18 for what it was.

    Bets on how long Bloom & Vine's "grand opening" sign will be up for?! IFYKYK. One of the Chinese restos near me has had their "grand opening" sign up since before the pandemic. The sign is crusty and dusty but they're still here so that says a lot. (Leaving the grand opening sign up is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.) Bloom & Vine is the third resto to open in this space in three years. Despite the name, no flowers for sale here. I heard this was supposed to be the third NorCal location of LA's MIAN but the owner decided to pivot to a new concept specializing in Beijing Peking Duck. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We called for rezzies but they're now available on Yelp. While making rezzies, they suggested that we put a duck on hold. M E N U Beyond their signature Peking duck, they describe their cuisine as Modern Asian Fusion. IMO, that label doesn't quite fit - the dishes leaned traditional with a range of regional Chinese cuisines including Sichuan, Canto, Shanghainese, and Jiangsu. Craft cocktail program with AZN inspired cocktails. We happen to come on a day that ALL drinks were 50% off! Whoooo hooo! D R I N K S * Hendricks, shaken w/ twist ($6.50/Reg $13): https://tinyurl.com/3pjzxeka F O O D * Crab Roe XLB 警粉小笼包 (6 pc-$18): https://tinyurl.com/2p9vnkkj The XLB was plump and soupy, filled with a savory pork and umami-rich crab roe filling. The pleating was even, and the skin was thin yet sturdy. They didn't provide vinegar and ginger tho. * Har Gow 经典虾饺 (4 pc-$12): https://tinyurl.com/3pptr94f Standard dim sum classic. Fresh, snappy shrimp encased in a soft, chewy wrapper that didn't easily tear. * Siu Mai 烧卖 (4 pc-$12): https://tinyurl.com/ywharjk7 Didn't try. * Kung Pao Chicken 宫保鸡丁 ($24): https://tinyurl.com/mrxcp3j7 Unlike the Americanized version, B&V serves a Sichuan-style kung pao chicken which is typically more tangy and spicier (málà). While the dish featured tender dark-meat chicken with fragrant scallions and crunchy peanuts, the flavor was mild. Personally, I prefer a brighter hit of vinegar and stronger heat. * Peking Duck 北京烤鸭 w/ pancakes, fixings (Half-$48): https://tinyurl.com/yrzkb6xd - 30-45 minutes prep Star of the night! The peking duck's glossy skin was crispy and well-rendered while the meat was tender and nicely gamey. Served with thin housemade pancakes for wrapping along with julienned cucumbers, green onions, and sweet fermented bean sauce. Their twist? Cantaloupe for a deliciously savory and sweet flavor contrast. ** Add ons: https://tinyurl.com/j4x6f42m Usually restos use the leftover duck carcass to make a soup or stir-fry dish that's included with the peking duck. It's a add-on here. - Tofu & Cabbage Duck Bone Soup 豆腐白菜鸭汤 (+$12) Clean, light broth with soft tofu, tender napa cabbage, and goji berries for a hint of sweetness. I wish it had been simmered longer with the bones to develop a richer, more milky consistency. - Salt & Pepper Crispy Duck Bone 椒盐鸭架 (+$12) The duck bones were stir-fried with aromatics and seasoned with what tasted like five-spice for that Canto roast duck flavor. If you enjoy nibbling on the meat, skin, and connective tissue off the bones....this will be your jam. S E R V I C E Very kind and welcoming service from owner and staff. They're obvs they're trying to figure things out tho. Food came out promptly on a Saturday evening. A M B I A N C E Spacious, modern, and chic with indoor/outdoor feels, a large bar, and several TVs with the world cup on. Very IG friendly if that's what you're looking for. Lovely outdoor patio that's closed off to cars but it's right near Caltrains so you can hear the horns and trains passing by. Overall, solid opening with the peking duck being the must order item. The extra plus is the having a cocktail program which is rare for a Chinese resto. I'd love to see them eventually bring more modern, creative twists to their regional Chinese dishes to better align with the concept.

    We recently visited this restaurant specifically for the Peking duck and unfortunately, came away with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the restaurant is attractive, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the overall service was very good. The pricing felt reasonable for the quality of the restaurant, though perhaps a little on the higher side. We enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated how well we were treated throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the Peking duck itself was disappointing. When it arrived at the table, it looked beautiful...golden brown with the "appearance" of crisp, perfectly rendered skin. However, the experience didn't match the presentation at all! . The skin was soft and chewy rather than crisp, and it was extremely and discustingly oily. Simply picking up a piece left my fingers coated in grease, and squeezing even a small piece of skin caused oil to drip out. Again, the duck appeared crispy, but it certainly didn't eat that way. One thing that stood out was how quickly the duck arrived after we ordered, about five minutes. While I certainly appreciate prompt service, that timing struck me as unusually fast for a signature dish like Peking duck. Combined with the condition of the skin, it made me wonder whether the duck had been sitting for some time before being served. That's what made the experience particularly disappointing. Proper Peking duck is famous for its thin, crisp skin and rich flavor, and based on the appearance, it looked like it was going to deliver exactly that. Unfortunately, the texture and excessive grease overwhelmed what should have been the highlight of the meal. I want to emphasize that this isn't a criticism of the restaurant as a whole. The service was excellent, the restaurant itself is very nice, and we enjoyed the overall dining experience. If the duck had been served with truly crisp, properly rendered skin, this review would likely have been very different. I'd be willing to return and try other dishes, but based on this visit, the Peking duck did not live up to expectations.

    [3.5/5] My friends and I came here on a Wednesday night and were seated immediately. The service is very quick and the restaurant has a very lively environment. It is a little noisy because of the open front and the train nearby. The food is good but definitely on the pricer side. The peking duck tastes wonderful but you don't get very many pieces. I would recommend the cocktails though, they had very fun flavors and were not too sweet.

    Such a delicious meal, with a beautiful setting! Definitely a great addition to Castro Street. This is an elevated dining experience, with gorgeous decor and plenty of natural light. The service was speedy and efficient. All the dishes I tried were delicious and clearly done well. My absolute favorite was the Chongqing chili chicken - it had great flavor and was perfectly spicy. I really enjoyed the fried rice as well. It had that signature wok-fried flavor. The honey walnut shrimp was probably the best I've ever had. It had a delicious glaze, and the shrimp itself was super juicy. The Peking duck was phenomenal. The slices were super tender, with a crispy skin. It paired well with refreshing side vegetables. The menu is expansive, with plenty of amazing options. I can't wait for my next visit!

For the price there should have been 4 or 5. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, sautéed kale. This was delicious, we don't often order fried chicken but this was cooked just right.
