Pretty good dim sum spot with nice outdoor seating and fast service. This place has really improved over the years and it's gotten a lot better organized and cleaner. Food is pretty good and if I want dim sum, this is the spot! read more

In the area for the farmer's market. Decided to do an afternoon dim sum. Ambiance is a bit cleaner than many other dim sum spots. Overall, food was a bit of a disappointment. Chicken feet was not the normal kind with black bean sauce, seems like it was steamed with a yam of some sort. Veggies were very bitter. Service was a bit non existent. Not sure if it was because we just went later, but was not impressed. Likely a 1.5 star experience. Parking can be tough during peak hours. read more

Great food and attentive service. We always enjoy dinner here as well as dim sum. We 3 had dinner here last Thursday. We had the west lake beef soup, fried flounder (whole fish), mushroom efu noodles, stir fried green beans with garlic. Not that night but other favorites here for dinner are the Peking duck, dew mui (snow pea leaves) with garlic, chicken wings. 2 years ago, we had post graduation dim sum here in one of the private rooms at the front. Reserve ahead. Dim sum favorites - all of your favorites. Very good ha gao. read more

Reliable Cantonese Dim Sum spot in MTV. We had a selection of dishes catered from Fu Lam Mum in the afternoon, and the items all arrived warm and fresh. The egg custard buns and steamed buns were all fluffy and delicious, and they had prepared sauces in neat containers on the side. They were also packaged neatly into catering containers. read more

We arrived just after 11:15 am on a Sunday morning and we were seated right away. It's bright and sunny in Fu lam Mum and they still have dim sum carts. The porridge & tripe cart came first, then the steamed rolls, shrimp & beef. There's a fried and baked cart with pork puff, pan fried taro, and fried shrimp ball, a steam cart with har gow, sui mai, chicken feet, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, and the cart with specials like Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, chow mein, eggplant stuffed with shrimp. Since there was only two of us, we just got a few items. The steamed items were warmed thru: chicken feet, shrimp rolls, and lotus wrapped sticky rice. But the lotus cake & pork puff were not. The chicken feet here used to be my favorite but today it was just okay. As much as I like the dim sum carts, I think I'm spoiled with hot food coming directly from the kitchen. If I'm in the area, craving dim sum, I'll have to try the chicken feet again. read more

In a neighborhood dominated by trendy Mandarin places, this classic Cantonese place should not be overlooked. The place is a big open space like most large Cantonese restaurants. The waiter got our drinks quickly and the food just poured out. The appetizer was BBQ trio, with duck, pork, and chicken. Everything was done perfectly. The salt and pepper squid had cloudy light batter and tender melt in your mouth squid. Oyster in XO sauce was my kids favorite they just devoured it. The beef in black beans will be some of the most tender beef you will ever have. Dry style beef chow fun was so good as well. Absolutely love love this place read more

Fu Lam Mum can get super busy, but I usually have no issues getting seated right away for a party of 2 on Saturday or Sunday mornings. It's good, not great, there are definitely better dim sum spots out there but overall it's reliable, reasonably priced, and clean. I like that they still have the traditional dim sum carts rolling around so you can pick dishes as they come by. We ordered the har gow, shrimp rice rolls, pork buns, and pork mochi. The quality isn't the freshest, but it's still tasty and hard to complain. My favorite item was the pork buns! My bf and I were full after tea + 4 items. Service is also pretty efficient and quick, even when it's crowded. Solid spot if you want convenient, no fuss dim sum. read more

Common name for a Chinese restaurant in the bay area. It was a good sign when most of the clientele were asian. The cumin lamb was pretty darn good, I would get this every time. The whole fish was as it should be, great. The dish with shrimp paste filling on deep fried tofu and bell pepper and eggplant was also real good. We also had mustard greens with garlic and the beef stew with tofu clay pot, they used brisket instead of beef stew meat. Everything seemed ti look great at this restaurant and you can get dim sum also. The only complaint is the same one I have , the dishes are too dinky, read more

A true authentic dim sum with rolling carts and no menus in sight LOL ! I'm so happy to see that i can still find this vibe and culture here. No music in the background, Just people talking and that makes me embrace the human interaction even more. dim sum is decent. I meant you cant really mess it up. price is good with the portion too. Prices are catergorizsed based on sizes (Small, medium, large, kitchen,..). medium is 7$ and large is 8$. Everything is heavily filled with shrimp and meats and super hearty. tables filled up fast around 12 so keep that in mind. Definitely will come back with bigger party to try out more dishes. read more

Surprised I haven't tried this spot earlier - my family's new go to for dim sum in South Bay! Service was super quick (got seated with all our food in literally under 5 min.) and friendly, the food is hearty and pretty authentic, and they have the carts (dwindling these days for dim sum places). Recs & what we tried: - Preserved egg & pork congee: this was a bit different than your traditional 皮蛋熟肉州, but in the best way - super flavorful and unique. Would come back for this! - Lo mai gai (sticky rice / chicken): I'm usually not a huge fan of this, but it was really good and had good proportions of ingredients - not too much or little of any one thing. - Har gow: these were huge - the shrimp portions were so generous! - Shu mai: also great portion sizes. - Shrimp rice roll: super yummy, classic. - Steamed pork BBQ buns: my usual favorite, but these were just okay. read more

We were in Palo Alto and wanted dim sum so we gave Fu Lam Mum a try on a Saturday morning. Not too busy after they just opened. The food was great. Lots of good items but the standout was the cucumbers - a nice garlic flavor from these chilled cuts of cucumbers. The cart service was a nice treat. read more

Super solid dim sum / yum cha spot! There is a medium-sized parking lot behind the restaurant. When we came around noon on a Sunday, all the spots were full but a spot quickly opened up. Lots of cars going in and out so just be patient. There is a walkway to get to the front of the restaurant, turn right, then you will see the outdoor seating to your left, indoor seating to your right. The restaurant was super busy but we were greeted and seated promptly. Everything was extremely efficient - from asking what tea we wanted, to all the carts coming by. Good: - Har Gow: Plump, shrimp was big and fresh, wrapper not too thick. - Siu Mai: These are HUGE lol - nice and meaty. - Spare Ribs: Tender, flavorful, decent portion size. - Chasiu Bao (barbecue pork bun): Bun is sweet and fluffy. Ok: - Chow Fun: This is a small plate of chow fun (like beef chow fun but no meat). I like how they offer this on a cart and it's not too much food compared to a whole noodle dish. Mediocre: - Shrimp rice roll (cheung fun): Kinda lacking in flavor and the rice roll is not as thin as I would have liked. Love their efficiency, solid food, helpful staff, decent parking, clean bathrooms! read more

Barely made it before they closed for lunch really great lunch specials and inviting prices. The food is fresh. They are generous with their servings and everything is seasoned to perfection.

Service is awesome and food is great. My fave is the salt and pepper chicken wings. No other places make it as good as here. Their stir-fried dishes are very good. Their HK style ice-lemon tea and milk tea are also very good. Their waiters/waitresses can speak English pretty well. The restaurant is bright and clean inside and decor is nice. I always bring my dog for outdoor seating. Dim sum isn't available for lunch only, you can also order dim sum for dinner too. Highly Recommend. read more

No wait for party of 2 on a Saturday around 1pm, though it was quite busy. I was happy to see they have the rolling carts since that's harder to come by nowadays. We got the shrimp steamed rice rolls, steamed pork spareribs, turnip cakes, bbq pork puff pastry, and har gow. I liked the steamed pork spareribs which were tender and turnip cakes the most. Har gow skin was a bit too thick and tough for my liking. Bbq pork puff pastry had an off ratio of too much dough and too little meat, but still enjoyed since this is one of my favorite dishes. Shrimp steamed rice rolls were a bit bland even with the sauce, but I liked that they had big pieces of shrimp that were cooked well and not soggy. Service is pretty efficient and straightforward. A plus that they have indoor and outdoor dining, but I don't think the carts go outside. Overall fulfills the dim sum craving and not a bad option in the downtown area! read more

Ambiance - 5/5 fantastic upscale modern setting. And it took my colleagues and I by surprise when we entered the restaurant as you really can't tell from the outside. (Exterior looks old and was deceiving ). Glad we decided to give this place a try instead of going to our usual dimsum place which will be 15mins drive out. Food - 4/5 dimsum is great. We ordered multiple dishes. The ones that stood out to us and love by the team included BBQ pork bun, cilantro roll, seafood egg noodle, crispy sesame ball and egg tarts. I also like how they kept the oyster sauce separated from the steamed Chinese broccoli dish which makes it easy for folks to adjust the sauce to their liking. Most places dribbles the sauce over the steamed vegetable which spread unevenly and you get some stems that are either overly concentrated in the oyster sauce while other stems lack the sauce. I didn't try the pork dumplings but my colleagues felt the skin a little too thick and pork taste a bit bland. Xiu Mai was just average. See pics for more. Service - 5/5 great friendly servers and expedient food serving. read more

Fast and efficient service! They have dim sum carts and we loved all items we tried - congee, ha gow, siu mai, lo mai gai, bbq pork buns. Very conveniently located on Castro Street. No wait on a Sunday around lunch time. read more

A solid dim sum spot located on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. While it's slightly pricey, that's expected for the area. The food quality was pretty good overall, with a variety of classic dim sum dishes to choose from. However, we noticed that the fried options were a bit cold, borderline stale, which made us wonder if they might have been leftovers from the previous day. Despite that, Fu Lam Mum is a reliable choice if you're looking for dim sum in the area. It's convenient and consistent, making it a good option for a casual meal. read more

Surprisingly, there were plenty of empty tables when we went at ~11am. I thought people usually come early for dimsums? The restaurant became full by the time we left at 12 though. The carts stopped by our table immediately after we sat down, so we were able to pick up ~8 or so dishes right away. There were a couple dishes that I saw on other people's tables, but I didn't see them in the carts that kept passing by. By the time new carts came out, we were already pretty full. Overall, the dimsums satisfied our cravings and the quality was not bad. Everything came in a set of 4 so it's even-number-party friendly. There's a lot of dimsum nowadays that comes in odd numbers. read more

Pretty good dim sum place conveniently located in downtown Mountain View near Central Expressway. There's outdoor seating so we could have our dog accompany us. Food availability was quick and plentiful, we did have to compete for limited dishes even though the place was pretty busy. Food quality was maybe 7.5/10. Size of dim sum items were good, some weren't as hot as ideal, but overall it seemed well done. Servers were friendly and nice. Sui Mai were quite big. We'd come here again! read more

Yum! This place sometimes has a line in front on the weekends, so I was intrigued. Ended up trying it with a group and I was surprised at the vast variety of choices. Loved their chicken feet and egg tarts! The staff members come by with carts filled with options. We ate soooo much but the bill came out to a reasonable amount for how full we were - about $30 per person. There is both inside and outside seating. read more

3.5 stars I think Fu Lam Mum is just ok. The huge issue for me was the skins on the dim sum were a little tough, and I like them softer and more pliable. For example, the har gow, shrimp chive dumpling, and zha liang skins were tough. The taro dumpling was also a tiny bit sour. My favorite thing I got was the preserved pork and century egg porridge which was very homey tasting. If I come back, I'd try things that didn't have skins like the tofu rolls and maybe their gai lan. Service was okay though waiters were a little difficult to flag down. I came on Sunday lunch at noon with party of two, and waited about 15 minutes for a table. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but the carts didn't really go outside, probably because there were stairs. For outside seating, it looked like they had one cart on standby. read more

What a disappointment! We have been there a few times but last few times it's been bad. Tonight we thought we would try them again but oh boy what a mistake! We ordered 3 entrees and a soup. Two of the entrees had same salty taste which was really bad. We called the server and told him the problem, his response was I will let the chef know. He never went to the kitchen, no action was taken. We had little bit of food and later we felt sick. I don't know whether it was too much of msg or some sauce. It was just bad!! read more

Dining here was suboptimal on so many levels that we felt like we were in a bad reality TV show that was testing our limits. First, we were met by an impersonal and abrupt host who set the mood. This was followed by a string of bizarre experiences. Shortly after being seated, we flagged down a server and asked for a menu. She lifted our tablecloth to reveal a QR code. The QR code took us to an online menu showing our table number, but we couldn't order from it. We could only view items and click on them to zoom in. We flagged down another server and asked about the QR code. She told us to order off the menu and not use the QR code. Over the next 30 minutes, the same three carts with the same dishes kept passing us by while severs would occasionally deliver dishes to other customers' tables. We asked again for a menu and were shown the QR code under our tablecloth. We explained that it didn't work. So, the server fetched us a menu. After spending an hour here and only sharing three plates, we realized that this place would be a huge time sink if we tried to eat more. So. We cut our losses, paid the bill, and went home to satisfy our hunger. On our way out, we saw customers eating outside on the street. Because the food carts couldn't reach them, they would leave their tables to walk up to the sidewalk to view food on the carts. My hats off to them for having a higher tolerance than I for enduring all the nonsense. read more

First time here. Place is clean and has nice decor. Surprise was the restrooms which were cleaner than most dim sum placed. Service is better than other dim sum placed. Carts that roll by. Steaming hot which is nice. Food was slightly above average. Some of the skins were hard. The porridge was thin and not great. Would stick with our regular dim sum joints. read more

Huge of this place! My family came for dinner last Wednesday evening to also celebrate my nephews birthday. We ordered a huge amount of food from dim sum to core dishes like chow mein, fried rice, sweet & sour pork, chow fun, Chinese broccoli, won ton soup, and more! Everything came out on time and also made fresh. The food is flavorful and will definitely stuff you. I'm a huge fan of their duck! The meat and skin is so tender and crisp. I also love their chili oil which paired with basically everything. Their service is nice and full of energy. They're quick on their feet and will make their frequent rounds for orders and refills. My family loves this restaurant and we'll be coming back again! read more

Really solid spot for dim sum! You wouldn't expect to find a good dim sum cart experience in downtown Mountain View but I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. I came with a friend who comes here as her go-to spot for dim sum on a Sunday morning. There were still a good amount of tables when we arrived but by noon, there was already a line forming outside so definitely come early! There are dim cart carts that circle around as well as a QR code based menu that you can order items directly from. Service is quick and efficient and overall everything we got was really good. I'd say the shrimp based dim sum items are really the high here. Loved the crispy shrimp balls, shrimp chive dumplings, and shrimp stuffed peppers. The cha sui rice rolls were also really nice. I have heard that if you come after 1pm, they run out of the popular items. There is outdoor dining as well which is dog friendly and it's always a treat to sit outside on Castro street on a nice day. read more

I'd probably give this place 3.5 stars -- not a bad spot for dim sum in downtown Mountain View but there are other places in south bay that I would prefer over Fu Lam Mum. I came here with a friend this past Sunday and put our names down on the waitlist at the front of the restaurant. It might seem like there's a lot of people waiting but the line moves quickly and we were in after ~15 minutes. I do really enjoy that this place does the dim sum carts as opposed to just ordering directly from a menu, but the items we ended up getting were just alright in my opinion. We got a total of 6 things -- siu mai, bean curd rolls, steamed BBQ pork buns, egg tarts, tofu stuffed with shrimp, and baked BBQ pork pastries. The siu mais, BBQ pork buns, and egg tarts were pretty solid but the bean curd rolls fell flat for me and both the stuffed tofu and BBQ pork pastries lacked in flavor... read more

I used to go here ALL the time as a kid, and finally came back (it's been probably around 10 years?!) to have lunch! We were there a little around opening time on a weekend, and before doors opened we put our names down on the paper waiting list. About 10 minutes later, that piece of paper was filleddd with names and there was a huge crowd waiting outside! Talk about good timing lol Fu Lam Mum brings the traditional cart experience for dim sum which is awesome. They're quick and efficient, and you can see right in front of you what you want to eat. We ordered a few things this time around: + Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls (3/5): The taste was there but the rice rolls were a little overcooked and dry! + Siu Mai (3/5): It was heavier on the ground pork than I would've liked, but the siu mai was moist and tasty. + Chicken Feet (4/5): Can never go wrong with this for dim sum! I liked the sauce and how they don't add jalapenos to this since I usually find it a little overwhelming for the taste. 3.5 stars overall on the food but rounding up :) read more

Went here for the authentic dim sum! They have the traditional, fun Cantonese dim sum experience where many carts come by your table and you can choose whatever you want. Pretty fast service. Super loud environment and it was hard to hear our own table's conversations.

Pros: the authentic dim sum experience and variety of dishes Cons: too noisy, xiao long bao read more
