    Squirrel fish, grandma Chinese bacon vegetable rice & garden rice cake
    Sandy Q.

    I had been binge watching a lot of cdramas lately and in one drama, I saw the squirrel fish and in another drama, I saw the garden rice cake. While I was searching through Yelp, I found this restaurant which servers both dishes so I sent hubby to buy food from here. We ordered the squirrel fish, one garden rice cake, and grandma Chinese bacon vegetable rice. As for flavor, the squirrel fish was good but you'll definitely have to eat this with rice. The tanginess from the sauce was slightly overpowering, should you decide to eat it alone. The garden rice cake was ok. The exterior had no flavor and the inside was filled with jujube paste. If you like jujubes, then you will definitely like this. Unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea. As for the rice dish, the flavor was too subtle and the rice was too soggy.

    We came here especially for the Peking duck and the squirrel fish. It was a very pleasant surprise and out of our expectations. Its very hard to find good Peking duck in the bay area, especially one that let you do "one duck three dishes" - skin with powdered sugar, duck skin and meat wrap, deep fried duck rack (optional duck soup). Im most impressed with the duck skin with sugar, first time seeing this in the states the skin is cut without any fat. The squirrel fish tastes super as well. Very crispy dough with juicy meat in sweet and sour sauce. Every other dish was great a simple well. Definitely a must try and will definitely come back.

    A new spot to get Suzhou classics, I was shocked to find something of such high quality in the Bay. As someone who grew up around Suzhou cuisine shared with me by relatives, I can attest that the dishes here capture the same sweet and savory flavors found in Jiangsu. When ordering, the absolute must is the 'Squirrel Fish' (松鼠桂鱼). The most famous Suzhou dish, it features a lightly battered and fried fish with sweet and sour sauce drizzled over it. Given the complexity, it's a dish that's hard to come by in most restaurants so definitely take advantage to order here. Other classic dishes include the sweet osmanthus lotus root stuffed with sticky rice and the dongpo pork. If you're looking for a spot to try high quality, classic Suzhou, Jiangsu cuisine, this is a must-try. Now a new go-to for me whenever looking for a meal that reminds me of Suzhou, some of the best Chinese food in the Bay.

    Tastes like home, authentic Shanghai/suzhou/jiangnan food. We were susceptible about this shop being hyped, and we didn't have high expectations when entering. The first dish being meatball soup set the bar. I'm not personally a meatball fan however this one attracts me with right amount of sauce and ingredients. The sour-spicy dish is usually a regular everyday dish, but it tastes so well with fried dough. Also it's not too sour or spicy as what a shanghaiese would like. The sea bass is a bit saucey. Fried veggie rice is meeting the standards. What is worth notifying is their free appetizer being very flavorful. This place is not too crowded or noisy around 5pm on weekend however filling up quickly and having lines by the time we left.

    I haven't been to this Milpitas plaza in a long time but they seem to be getting a ton of good restaurants and stores! Jiang Nan Delicacy is one of the ones that belongs in this category. [[ Location ]] If you go around 5pm, there will be plenty of parking in this large plaza but we finished the meal around 7pm and it was pretty packed. This is because this place has Lions Market, the Chang Fen place, Highland Noodles, etc. There's a lot of good food here and it can get packed. [[ Restaurant ]] Like other reviewers have said, the exterior might not look like much and is covered with shades but the inside has a touch of "fine dining" to it. Everything was very clean, modern, and had a nice feel to it. Definitely a great place to take a date or have a nice meal with your loved ones. [[ Food ]] This is where this place shines. I love EVERY dish that we ordered although the portion sizes weren't always the largest. The taste is exquisite and I feel like they nailed popular dishes that you can get elsewhere with more refinement. I don't think you really can go wrong with any dish here. [[ Service ]] I think it was pretty top-notch here as well. Food came out quickly, the servers are always around taking dishes or giving napkins. They also help you pack all your food into to-go boxes and bags at the end of the meal which I always appreciate.

    New Chinese restaurant with a very clean modern interior that gives off fine dining vibes. Hot and Sour soup with Chinese doughnuts - Very good hot and sour soup that had the right amount of slow heat build up without being too sour to drink. There's enoki mushroom/pork/some sort of pork or duck blood chunks in the soup as well. One gripe was it came at end of meal. Stir fried green beans and eggplant - decent nothing special just a good vegi side dish Wagyu and oyster mushroom - super delicious, beef cubes were really tender and the mushroom cubes were springy and fun to eat, very good slightly sweet sauce Garlic fried prawns - very garlicky and had a slight grill aroma and taste, perfect dish to go with some rice, was a little overcooked on the hot plate though Steamed sea bass - very fresh tasting and had the traditional soy based broth/sauce, fish was a little overcooked though and wish it was a bit firmer Pan fried soup dumplings - just average, nothing super special but they did come out piping hot and filled with soup Overall the meal was good but the price was a little higher for Chinese food. Some of the dishes I felt were worth the price tag but others not so much.

    Newly opened Chinese restaurant in Milpitas! They specialize in Suzhou cuisine, which is from the region near my hometown - so I definitely wanted to check it out. The interior is very clean and modern, and the staff were very friendly. They only take reservations for parties of six or more, so we walked in shortly after they opened and were seated right away. We ordered a few dishes from the menu, and my favorites were the Shanghai soup bun, shrimp noodles, rice cake with red bean and date filling, and the vegetable mushroom tofu soup. Overall, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors leaned on the lighter side.

    Rice with bacon & veggies
    Art L.

    Luv it when a restaurant tries... Decor emulates a restaurant in certain era in Jiangnan area of China, within which includes cities like Shanghai as an example. They even brought a show with a pair of singers & Classical Chinese instrument musician. They would perform every so often taking breaks in between. Definitely cool if u like that kind of things. Food & cuisine are mostly from that province. I peruse the menu and found many classic dishes. I wanted a casual din. So, only ordered a few simpler dishes and to my surprise, everything tastes ok to very good. My favs in the five dishes are the 生煎包 (fried dumpling) 4.5 * and 菜飯 (rice with bacon & veggies) 5* all other dishes (see pics) are about 3.5* to 4* Need to come back to try the signature dishes of this cuisine that includes a fried fish dish & braised bacon meat & pork meat ball & many others... (reserve the right to update score after trying them) The chairs are interestingly Chinese but not with modern comfort. The table settings are very nice and shows the owner spent $$$ for the tableware. Service is nice & friendly but not too attentive. Room for improvement. The way the dishes came out could be more logical ... soup came almost last and main dish came first followed by appetizer and a veggie dish.

    Rice cake in the garden
    Quentin P.

    Cute interior. Chinese design wood chairs and tables with calligraphy and photos on the walls. Mostly tables for 4, few semi private larger tables for groups. Pretty bright. No music. Used QR code at your table to order. Service was so-so. Didn't really seem to be quick nor that attentive. Squirrel shaped fish - pretty strong sweet sour sauce, not that sophisticated. Fish was decently done. Not over fried. Because of the sauce I would say this dish becomes more of an Americanized Chinese food. Gorgon sweet milk- nicely presented, nice delicate, mild but sweet flavor. Not sure worth the $$ though. Good to try once at least. Rice cake in garden- dry type rice, most traditional dish. Little on dry side. Flavor ok. Soup very salty, don't expect to drink much. Shrimp pretty ok, meatballs seem good quality, veggy just ok. Overall I would not come back. Even if they had the performers here. Just too many good, cheaper competitors in area.

    King Oyster Mushrooms & Wagyu Beef
    Dong Wook C.

    Good food. Ordered the Hong Kong Style Shrimp and Scrambled Eggs (this dish was ok), King Oyster Mushroom & Wagyu Beef (good), and Honey Glazed Soy Braised Beef (not bad; mildly sweet). I would like to try some other items here to get a better idea of what the signature dishes are. This place is a little pricier than the average Chinese restaurant but food is tasty. Interior is nice and clean. I don't know too many restaurants that serve Jiangnan/Suzhou cuisine so I say kudos for the originality. I heard this style of cuisine tends to be on the sweeter side compared to dishes from other regions of China. I did taste the sweetness but it's mild, so I would say it's tolerable for most Asian palates. Located in the Lion Supermarket plaza.

    Tastes like home!! Suzhou/shanghai/jiangnan flavors that can be hard to find. Plenty of seating indoors and was nice and clean. Service was extremely fast as well. Only downside is that we did feel like the portion sizes could have been slightly bigger.

    Sweat sour short rib
    Leo L.

    Our first time today, we decided to check out this place with typical Shanghai dishes. The food was above average of most Shanghai restaurants. Positives: Shanghai fried rice was tasty. We liked the Squirrel fish, the *sauces* of short rib and eel. Lacking: (1) Chinese tradition is drinking tea. We were served with ice water! (2) Menu is QR code web based. Menu has no Chinese while the translation in English was not precise. It was hard to figure out what is what. Why not make printed menu? (Attached receipt with both English and Chinese.) (3) First course served was Lotus root desert while Chinese tradition desert is last course! (4) Short rib made from stewed meat, not the Shanghai deep fried crispy short rib. (5) Eel was from frozen and the texture was mushy. (6) The rice in the fried rice was a little under cooked. (7) Service was minimum while business was not busy. The least they can do is changing plates while fish had bones, short rib had bones, food had different sauces in the plate. Overall, we can taste the authenticity, but there is something lacking!

    This is my third time coming and I tried four new dishes on top of a dish I tried previously today. I seriously enjoyed all the dishes! Portions for some of the dishes were small but the taste was great and I never feel uncomfortable after eating. Service overall was good and one of the servers was even careful on deciding where to place the dishes since our whole table was full. Only small suggestion is that the other came to ask our table and the table next to us how we're liking the dish. The table next to us had two people and each ordered a small meal. Both our table and their table said the food was great so later that table next to us who had two people each received a dessert in a cup and was told it was on the house but our table of three people didn't get any. It doesn't leaves a good impression on customers when treatment isn't the same and it's done out in the open when both tables expressed a liking for the food. Also, it wasn't like we ordered only a little (ordered 5 dishes for 3 people). Interesting chinese opera like music was playing in the background today and about four tables were filled throughout our dinner. Chef's cooking is seriously delicious! Price for the portions you get are on the higher end but food quality is good. The seats are also very comfortable and I still love their complimentary appetizer.

I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

The flavor is comforting and well-balanced without being overly salty, and the texture is smooth and satisfying. I highly recommend pairing it with their dough stick (youtiao). It's crispy on the outside, slightly chewy inside, while still staying light and fluffy. Dipping it into the congee completely changes the experience and honestly feels like a must-order combination. Another standout for me is the steamed spareribs with black bean and taro. The spareribs are tender and flavorful, and the black bean sauce adds a savory depth without overpowering the dish. Service continues to be efficient and well-organized, even when busy. One thing I noticed is that the restaurant is especially popular with elderly customers, which honestly says a lot about the food being comforting, traditional, and consistent. Almost every table had some combination of congee, rice rolls, and steamed dishes, which seems to be the way to go here.

For something heartier, the Wonton Noodle Soup features a very clean, savory broth and snap-to-the-bite noodles. The Pork Congee is also a winner; it's silky, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a cold day or when you're craving something soothing. We also grabbed the Shiu Mai, which were plump and well-seasoned with a great meat-to-shrimp ratio. The kitchen is efficient, and the flavors are consistently authentic. It's a reliable spot for a great quality, traditional meal that never misses the mark. Prices are reasonable and service is fairly quick but there's also a QR code for an optional online ordering for some.

The service is what you'd expect at an Asian restaurant in the Bay -- efficient and no frills -- but gets the job done well. Immediately after the food arrived -- we dug in. Not just because we were famished, but because it was THAT good. (One of those situations where you stop talking and just eat...) I'd wholly recommend the Oyster Pancake (a balance of briny seafood with sweet pancake sauce) and the Specialty Hakka Noodles ("Q," i.e. chewy, in the most perfect sense). Will definitely make a pit stop in Milpitas for Taiwan Cafe next time in Milpitas and highly recommend for anyone who's looking for a taste of some excellent Taiwanese cooking.
