Soup dumplings
Mileydi A.

We wanted to have dim sum and decided to give Golden Sun Palace a chance--and we're so glad we did! Their menu is HUGE, with so many options from land, sea, and vegetarian dishes. We ordered the chive and shrimp pancakes, soup dumplings ( HAD A SIMILAR TASTE LIKE DING TAI FUNG ) salt & pepper calamari, beef chow fun noodles, and garlic green beans. We absolutely loved the chili paste/oil they provided. Every dish was packed with great flavor, and the service was fast and easy. Everything came out in a timely manner, which made the whole experience even better. There's also plenty of parking, no reservations are needed, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other dim sum spots. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu!

This place shocked me...I liked it! I have been here several times now to wait out the traffic in the Bay Area after work. The staff is friendly and nice including the owner who knows my go to meal which is beat tendon stew with turnip. I have had other dishes and they are all superb and delicious. Not sure what all the complaints about the food are but I have dined in a lot of Chinese dim sum places including Koi Palace and I love this place more. I have not ordered a dish I did not like and I have tried quite a few of the chef specials already. Ambiance is huge and wide open with nice tables and cloth. I go after work at around 7pm and there is a nice spattering of regulars but I know this place gets crowded in the weekend.. Price is fair but the food and ingredients high quality so I don't care as good food trumps price. I love this place and am happy the owners and staff recognize me. The food is superb and tasty and the ambiance perfect when not busy. I highly recommend coming here for an awesome food and chef to table experience!

Fish porridge & chow fun set
Jessica H.

Been here a few times & unfortunately, the quality & flavors of the dishes are not very consistent. On some days, everything is perfectly delicious, on other days it's very bland. My family enjoys ordering the sets/combos - particularly the fish porridge & chow fun b/c it comes with dim sum of your choice in the following categories (1S, 2M, 1L, & 1K), but the porridge is a hit & miss sometimes.

Har Gow, chicken feet, egg yolk buns, deep fried shrimp balls, bbq pork buns, Siu Mai

Door dashed dim sum for dinner from Golden Sun. The ordering was simple. Packaging for delivery was done well. The container for the deep fried shrimp had a cut to ventilate and prevent the dish from getting soggy. $60 including tip for 6 dishes. The chicken feet was ok. I think the flavor could be more savory and the amount was less than I'm used to seeing. The best dish was the bbq pork buns. The buns were soft and pillowy, and the bbq pork was just the right amount to bun. Other dishes that I ordered were egg yolk buns, har gow, and siu mai. Basic dim sum dishes and helped with the craving. It's probably best to have dim sum at Golden Sun Palace during their dim sum hours.

This restaurant has been around for a long time serving Cantonese cuisine in Milpitas. They have dim sum available during lunch in addition to their regular menu items. A few dishes they do well here are the salt and pepper spare ribs (pork chop), salt and pepper fish fillet, dried scallop with egg fried rice - all their varieties of fried rice are yummy. Servers are courteous but if the restaurant is busy, servers don't come around as often as they should. You may have to flag them down. I recommend asking for everything up front if you don't see what you want at your table. For example, certain condiments or dipping sauces for your dim sum or glasses of water, extra napkins, etc. Request that stuff when the wait staff first show up or when you order. The ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant. Simple and clean enough considering how long this restaurant has been in business. Nice chandeliers. Busy on the weekends for those coming in for dim sum. Restaurant is a decent size and has tables that are good for larger parties as well. Located in a busy plaza which houses many eateries near Lion Supermarket.

This strip mall is packed on Sunday mornings. Good luck trying to find a parking spot haha! But Golden Sun isn't too packed which is nice. You can call ahead to reserve a table if you have a large group. Food is ok. Some of the dim sum dishes are meh but they do come out quick. So if speed and not waiting around is what you like, GS is a good Sunday brunch "yam cha" spot.

First of all, this place offers free tea! I haven't been to many dim sum places in the bay where it offers free tea. You can tell that this is a local favorite as mostly families/elders are sitting around you. The dim sum was pretty good! I would say that the best item was the chicken feet! Super flavorful but not salty! I also love how the spongecake is made out of brown sugar, so it's not too sweet! I would definitely come back! The pricing is super reasonable as well!

Golden Sun Palace is located in the City Square Center. Parking is ok, depending on when you come. I've been here many times for dim sum or family dinners. Spacious place, good for wedding receptions and events. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive! All the staff workers provided great service! I only ordered a few things but filling enough for me. Scallop Dumpling - decent sized dumpling filled with shrimp and a couple of bay scallops. Fried Sticky Rice w/Chinese Sausage - topped with a little scrambled egg. One of my favorite dishes. It always reminds me of going to SF to visit my grandparents. Spiced Beef Varieties - I hardly get a chance to get this dish and that's a good thing as it's high in cholesterol. This place makes it so well! A good variety of the usual in this dish but my favorite is the "ngoh bong". Nobody knows the English equivalent. Some say the pancreas, others the lungs. LOL. Chrysanthemum Tea - my waiter brought it to me saying [Cantonese], after eating the offal, this tea is good for digestion or cutting the cholesterol. [My English translation of my limited Cantonese. LOL] Support your local business.

It's not the first time we come to this restaurant which is recommended by a friend. They are crowded during weekends so today we came early. Exterior: parking is easy Interior: basic setting, clean and tidy Customer service: very friendly and professional Food quality: very authentic Hong Kong style dishes n dim sum Surely we will come again.

Came in before noon Sat.. Got seated right away. Nicely lit inside. No music but a few TVs on with Cantonese? Tv shows. Had carts coming around as well as able to order off menu. All good here pretty traditional Cantonese dim sum. Dishes: Sui Mai- nice sized, excellent examples of the dish. Nice amount of meat, not greasy. Steamed bean curd skin roll with pork and shrimp- pretty filling though light feeling. Stuffed densely. Again not greasy. Durian puffs- nice light crunchy outer shell and plenty of creamy durian inside. My favorite of the bunch today. Preserved egg pork congee- nicely done, decent amount of pork inside. Add white pepper to make flavors pop more. BBQ Pork puff- Again nice crispy outside plenty of fillings inside. Overall a very enjoyable dim sum and pretty economical. Liked the staff and speed of service. Will be back.

Came here on a late Thursday afternoon for my best friend's Graduation lunch. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with lots of natural light beaming in. The staff is super nice and attentive since it was not busy - we were practically the only people there. We were a table of 7. Ordered a bunch of dim sum and also noodle dishes (including lobster) and a Peking duck. Food was adequate - it wasn't the best but it wasn't inedible either. Honestly, for everything to only come out to $200 for 7 people that included lobster and a duck, id come back

The last time my family and I came to Golden Sun Palace was on 12/16/2019, right before the beginning of the pandemic. That was a good day because we got to hang out with some close family friends and relatives over dim sum. Exactly five years later to the date, my family and I made our return here for a dim sum outing. The place was pretty quiet when we walked in at noon. One of the staff greeted us and she led us to a table by the windows. The interior was clean, and did not appear to have gone through any renovations since the last time we were here. Our server got us tea while we perused the vast dim sum menu. As soon as she returned, we placed our order. We ended up getting eight items plus beef chow fun. Our food started to arrive in 15 minutes, in stages. The first thing we noticed was that the dim sum items were made in-house instead of premade. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality. Everything was on point for the most part, and they did not skimp on anything. If I had to nitpick, I would say the beef chow fun was a bit greasy and the har gow skin was somewhat mushy. Service we received was very good. Our server was friendly, polite, and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. Dim sum items ranged from $4.95 to $9.95, and the beef chow fun was one of their daily specials at $11.95. Tea charge was waived. The total, with T/T, was about $77. Based on this experience, we will definitely return! BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted. - Their tip suggestions are based on post-tax amount. - Check out their weekday daily specials, which include noodle/rice dishes, entrée items, and dim sum combos. - No tea charge.

New favorite spot for dim sum! The service is great, the food comes out hot, fast and authentic Cantonese flavor! I've been here 3 times in the last month for dim sum! Pro tip: Some of the favorite items that have pastry in them are only available on the weekend. Weekends get busy, come before 12pm or call ahead.

The xiao long bao comes in little tin dishes which almost always means it was just frozen, and despite being soup dumplings, they were totally dry. The har gow and everything else steamed was also so cold when they got to the table and the skins stuck to everything in the streamer and broke at the gentlest pull. The sheng jian bao was also shockingly wrong. These are supposed to be juicy buns with a crispy fried bottom, and instead we got these lightly toasted, dry pork and cabbage buns. I'm not even sure oil was used to fry these, I think they just touched a dry pan for a few seconds. There was a little bit of color, but 0 crisp. I know dim sum is hard to get right, everything is delicate, timing is important, but for a place so highly regarded, this was really disappointing. The restaurant itself seems very recently renovated, it is very clean, beautiful interior, and the service is good too, so it gets a star for that.

There were only a few dishes I didn't like. Here is what our table ordered: Peking duck: 7/10 While I often enjoy Peking duck, especially with the fluffy bao buns, this Peking duck didn't taste quite as good as others I have had elsewhere. While it was crispy and rich, it didn't have a whole lot of flavor, which was a little disappointing because it got overpowered by the bao buns. Honey walnut prawns: 9/10 I'm a huge fan of honey walnut prawns, they are my favorite at any Chinese banquet lunch. While the flavor was on point for this dish, it lacked crispness despite being the second dish to arrive. Curry chicken: 10/10 Probably my favorite meal here. I don't see curry chicken being served often, but this was amazing. Rich and creamy broth, and the chicken was tender and thinly sliced. Would come back here just for this dish. Sweet and sour pork: 9/10 Another good dish, pork was tender and sauce had a good ratio of sweet to sour. Braised tofu with mushroom: 6/10 This was probably one of my least favorites. The tofu was almost little leathery on the outside, which gave a weird mouthfeel. Other than that, the sauce was alright, and the mushrooms were good. House combination pan fried crispy noodle: 10/10 I absolutely loved these! I really enjoy the noodles with a combination of crispy and drenched in sauce, and this dish gave exactly that. The noodles somehow stayed crispy for the duration of the dinner, which was great. Pan fried noodles with soy sauce: N/A Didn't try it, but it looked good! Salted fish with chicken fried rice: 7/10 While the flavor on the rice was pleasant, with a good mix in of vegetables and chicken, the fish was extremely salty. Each tiny chunk of fish was like a sodium explosion. I thought it was good if you eat around the fish. Pan fried string bean: 9/10 One of the better pan fried string beans I've had, and it even came with some sort of meat mince, which I wasn't expecting but was a cool surprise.

We had a spread of 10 entrees and fish maw soup. Flavor was on point for the soy sauce chicken and seabass. The buns with duck skin and the duck meat lettuce cups (which the forgot about) was good. The other entrees like lobster noodles and walnut shrimp felt like they were too conservative with protein portions. Oysters were a pass and the freshness was questionable. The complementary bean desert was straight up water. The buns were way better! Overall the service was a just okay. Water glasses were dirty and still stained with someone's lipstick. And they forgot one dish until we reminded them. I've been to Cheung Hing for dinner a couple times now and think it's consistent and decent for its price point. Though, there are better places.

Solid Cantonese comfort food tonight. We ordered family-style and every dish delivered…read more The salt and pepper fish fillet was the table favorite -- puffy, golden batter that stayed crisp, tender fish inside, finished with fried garlic and scallions. Not greasy at all, which is where a lot of places lose me. The BBQ combo platter (crispy roast pork +roast duck) is the other must-order. The siu yuk skin had that proper shattering crunch with juicy meat underneath, and the roast duck was silky with lightly crispy skin. Both dipping sauces on point. The clay pot chicken came out bubbling on its warmer, with red onion and scallion in a savory, slightly sweet glaze with salted meat -- great over rice. And the string beans with pork cheek had real wok hei, blistered beans with caramelized edges, not steamed-and-sauced like the lazy version. Portions are generous, everything came out hot, and this is exactly the kind of cooking that tastes like a family kitchen doing it right. Would come back for the fish fillet and the roast pork alone. They served sweet bean soup after dinner. Service was quick and ambiance is bright and causal.

We stopped by on a Sunday around 2 PM and were surprised to see how packed the restaurant was…read more There was a steady line throughout our visit, which is always a good sign and speaks to the restaurant's popularity. The crowd was an interesting mix, with plenty of diners in their late 50s and 60s alongside a younger crowd. What We Ordered: * BBQ Pork Bun: This was probably the one item I'd skip. It was perfectly fine, but nothing particularly memorable and no better than what you'd find at an average dim sum restaurant. * Marinated Beef Rice Noodle: A solid dish. The rice noodles were wonderfully smooth and slippery, with a generous amount of beef. The lettuce was a nice touch, adding a bit of freshness and crunch to balance out the soft textures. * Pork Liver Rice Noodle: My absolute favorite of the meal! Pork liver is notoriously difficult to cook well because it can so easily become tough or overcooked. This was done beautifully -- tender, perfectly cooked, and without that unpleasant rubbery texture. I'd come back just for this dish. *Fried Dough Rice Roll: This was as expected. Dough was crispy and rice roll was smooth. If you are a fan of this dish it won't disappoint. * Iced Soy Milk: Not overly sweet, with a nice, pronounced soy bean flavor. If you enjoy traditional soy milk rather than the overly sweetened versions, this is worth ordering. * Pork and Preserved Egg Congee: Comforting and well executed. The congee was silky smooth, with the consistency you'd expect from something that's been slowly cooked for a long time. The pork pieces were generously sized, and the preserved egg chunks were substantial enough to get a good taste in every few bites. Overall: There are definitely a few dishes worth coming back for, especially the pork liver rice noodles. The crowd and steady line suggest this place has built a loyal following, and after trying the congee and rice noodles, I can understand why. I'd skip the BBQ pork bun and focus on the rice noodle dishes and congee. The chairs were also on the small side so can be uncomfortable if you are taller or on the large side.

The food was okay, but the service was basically a DIY project. When the check came and I left a zero on the tip line, the woman handing it to me pointed it out and asked why I hadn't tipped. Luckily, she opened that door, so I had the chance to explain why the complete lack of service earned that zero: * We seated ourselves after someone shouted "your table is ready" from all the way across the dining room. * No one greeted us, checked on us, or ever claimed to be our server. * We placed the entire order ourselves through our phones. * Our water pitcher emptied after our first pour and sat there completely forgotten for the rest of the meal. * Staff repeatedly kicked and bumped the backs of our chairs every time they walked by. * An employee forgot to lock the bathroom door, and when my husband and son walked in, she actually scowled at my kid while washing her hands instead of apologizing for not locking it. If I'm seating my own family, handling our own ordering on a phone, and tracking down my own water, asking for a tip at the end is a pretty bold move. We won't be returning.

Everything was well made and delicious. Food came out at a good pace. The standouts in my opinion were their Siu Mai and Fried Taro and Meat Dumplings. I am usually not a big Siu Mai fan but theirs were very tasty and juicy and fresh-tasting. They did a great job frying the Taro Dumplings. They were not greasy and the oil used seemed fresh. Service was very attentive, professional, and friendly especially because I've known our waiter Alex for over twenty years! Prices are fair for Bay Area standards. It's a solid dim sum spot.

This is a to go only place, no dining room. Had the pork fried rice, braised roast pork, soy chicken and charshu pork. I like that their steam table includes something different than other Chinese to go places; not the usual orange chicken and beef broccoli type place. Steam table includes charshu pork, braised pork, soy chicken and more. The braised pork had the roast pork but cooked on soy sauce based sauce with a hint of spicy. The soy chicken had lemongrass and garlic flavor. Charshu bbq red pork was slightly sweet and tasted like bacon but a little gamey. Pork fried rice was well seasoned. Chowmein had a different type of noodles than what I'm used but had good flavor overall. Bought the fried tofu on the side. Tofu was topped with diced grilled onion and bell peppers which gave it a sweet flavor if you eat the toppings with the tofu. All steam table items were good. I would go back to try their dimsum and roast meat items. They also sell pre packaged food if you don't feel like getting the combo items from the steam table. Nice staff. Very reasonable prices with generous portions.

This place was honestly SO FREAKING GOOD. You better believe my group and I had NO leftovers that…read moreday. The truffle butter rice with mushrooms was a comforting delicacy. The crown daisy and mushroom salad was exquisitely refreshing. The spicy stir fried squid will leave you salivating for more. And the braised beef noodle soup with the mustard green topping (please add the topping, it's worth it) was the perfect addition to wash everything down. This is one of those spots that make you think, "Gosh... Should I come again tomorrow?" Because it's that good. The staff was also super attentive. They made an effort to ensure our table had everything we needed to comfortably share the meals and topped off our cups with their fruit infused water every chance they got. There's a reason why there's a line out the door within the first hour of the day (for me that was a Saturday haha). So get there early to snag that table! It'll also help with the cramped parking situation as well.

Tried JUn Bistro when in the Milpitas area and loved it! This is traditional Chinese food from…read moresouth region and really had cool flavors I had not tried before. The ambiance was relaxing and service was also great here. For food we tried: * choqing chicken - this was a spicy crispy chicken with lots of chilis and topped with crispy potato chips. We really liked it, it had a nice kick * truffle mushroom butter rice - if you love mushrooms like I do, this is a must order and one of their specialties. I enjoyed this and portion size was great * crispy rice noodles - I forgot the name of this dish but it was rolled up rice noodles that were crispy with this pork belly and herbs and it was so yummy. Unique but loved the crispiness in every bite with the added softness from the rice cake. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Overall great experience and would give this spot a try again!
