Fast and adequate service for a Sunday brunch at 11:30AM Come around 11-11:30AM on weekends to avoid wait time. Food was a bit pricy but this is Cupertino. Ordered a steamed fish which was very fresh. The preserved egg and shredded pork porridge doesn't have much pork and preserved eggs. One star off. Other food tasted fine. The space between tables were good. It did not feel cramped. New chairs today and felt comfortable. read more

Good Quality Dim Sum, it's a little bit on the expensive upscale side to a lot of Dim Sum spots, but they do have good quality. Expect to spend about $40 to $50 per person if you want to order to get filled/full and are a hearty eater. Parking is easy. read more

Went for a later dim sum on Saturday and there was no wait for a seat. Ordering was marking on the menu, no dim sum carts. The dim sum was pretty good, some better than others. Loved the crispy shrimp rice roll! The donut inside was different than the usual Chinese Donut and we really liked the crunch and texture. I would skip the sticky rice, it was smaller than usual and not as flavorful. The portions for everything else were pretty standard, a bit pricey but it tracks for the area. read more

I came by with 4 friends last weekend and decided to come back again the week after. I wasn't able to make reservations for 5 on a Saturday at 11:30 am but they didn't expect us to have to wait longer than 10 minutes. Two of us arrived by 11:25 and they seated us without the rest of our party. We had the best time catching up. We ordered quite a few dishes including haw gow, siu mai, green beans, tripe, noodles,etc... all good. Tastes fresh and doesn't taste like msg is used. So I came back the weekend after with my partner. We ordered too much but all good again. It took a few minutes to get someone's attention for the bill and boxes. But once we did, they got all that for us really quick. Place was clean. Tables not too close together. I would definitely be back! read more

I have not been to Lei Garden in a long while. This used to be our weekly weekend brunch spot but for some reason, we stopped coming here. Anyway, we were shopping in the area and decided to stop by for a dim sum lunch. The restaurant was not very busy so we got seated right away. We placed our order via the order sheet. No carts since it was a weekeday. We had our usual Char Siew bun (steamed), Soy sauce Chow Mein, Chinese donut rolled in soft noodles, pan fried chive dumplings, Lo Mai Kai (steamed rice in lotus leaves), stuffed peppers, and sesame balls. This is one of the few dim sum restaurants that serve the stuffed peppers. Food was generally good. I love the hot sauce they have at the table. We literally devoured it! I had forgotten how delicious the stuffed peppers were - they still taste great! Steamed Char Siew bun was a little disappointing - too much bun (bao) and not enough filling. The char siew was also rather tough and tasted rather bland. The chinese donut in steam noodles was good and the chow Mein was tasty. Sesame balls (my favorite dim sum dessert) was not too bad. could have been better if it was warmer. Service was OK. I feel that the servers are sometimes rather grumpy - could be the reason why we stopped coming here. Prices are also a little steep compared to what you got - smaller portions. read more

My partner has been looking for a good braised tofu dish. I've been to Lei Garden for dim sum before but this was our first time for dinner. Plenty of parking during dinner time! Interior is nicely decorated. There were maybe a few other parties dining in, and some takeout orders too. A huge contrast from their packed dim sum weekend guests. We had the braised tofu and the house pan fried noodles. They gave us some pickled cabbage as a palate cleanser too. Tofu was perfectly braised, flavors were all there. Pan fried noodles were nice and crisp. Everything was delicious. Service was prompt. We wound up taking the pan fried noodles home as leftovers, good portion sizes. A tad expensive, but good quality and taste. They brought us a nai wong bao (custard bun) as dessert after the meal, really nice touch. read more

Came at 11am on Friday for dim sum right at their opening and was seated right away for our party of 6. Been craving it so went a little overboard. After getting the chrysanthemum tea, marked our menu to get the shrimp rice rolls, beef rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken claws, mixed seafood dumplings, deep fried glutinous pork dumplings, fried shrimp balls, egg tarts, stuffed crab claws, deep fried taro, egg yolk lava buns, Chinese broccoli, and dried scallop & pork sticky rice in lotus leaf wraps. Solid food. Highlights were the stuffed crab claws, fried shrimp balls, and egg yolk buns. Underwhelming- egg tart. read more

This has been my dim sum go-to place for many years. Walked in on Saturday morning 11:30, able to get seated in 5 mins. The inside is clean, the fish tank needs more lives . Even with low expectations on service, still got negative experience -- really impatient to take orders on drinks. When I said we only need two water, the waitress took extra away with such a mean expression, which I thought I did favor for the restaurant for saving a glass. Also this round the fried chicken wings were disappointing -- the chicken tasted like old dish and the fried oil was too old as well. My son only ate one and rejected to take second one. The seafood porridge --- shrimp porridge, I hope there will more varieties on the seafood part. A little disappointed experience, hope the go-to dim-sum place can get its food quality consistency back. read more

Visited on a busy weekend, even it's late lunch. We managed to get seated right away as we're only party of two. The dim sum was okay, except the steamed pork ribs were hard to eat and with too many bones. I had the worst soup dumplings ever, the giant dumpling was meh and the soup was mediocre. read more

This review comes from someone who lives in San Diego and does not have good dim sum so take that to account while I talk about how I love dim sum and there is not very many options in San Diego. Le garden is a staple of Cupertino and it's always crowded. It is always your fast pack service. It's not gonna be your high-end dim sum but it is going to be good quality for what you need and if you're in the area and you're looking for some good dim sum around then just grab a garden here and I think you'll really enjoy your experience We ordered way too much food and the Siu Mai is always packed with meat and shrimp. The dessert, red bean sticky was actually really good. read more

Lei Garden - Dim Sum Near Me - Cupertino, California

Came here with a friend for lunch on Thursday around noon. Parking was easy in their own parking lot. They got pretty full around lunch, but there's no wait for a table. My family used to come here on weekends many years ago, and there was always a long wait then. We ordered 5 dim sums from a paper menu with pictures. Everything was flavorful. Tea and the steamed dishes were nice and hot. My favorite was the fish fillet w/ red rice roll, and my friend's favorite was the deep fried taro w/ scallop. They're more special than the regular dim sum you would get at other Chinese restaurants. Ambiance was great for catching up with friends. It took us a while to get our tea refilled, but we also weren't rushed at all and felt very relaxed staying there for a long time. Will be back to have dim sum again on a weekday. read more

I came with a party of 6 people on a weekend morning for dim sum. It wasn't terribly crowded when we arrived, but the crowds came in as soon as we sat. Waitstaff was very fast and efficient, though we did get rushed out at the end by some seemingly unhappy staff. We ordered an assortment of dim sum, but my favorite was the shrimp dumplings. Overall, I had a great experience and will be back for more dim sum! read more

Lei Garden - Assorted dim sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Cupertino, California

Visited Lei Garden in Cupertino for lunch over the weekend. There was about a 10-minute wait for a table so not too bad. We ordered a variety of dishes and overall had a nice experience. Started the meal with some Jasmin tea which was flavorful and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sautéed string beans in black bean sauce were excellent -- flavorful, nicely cooked, and probably my favorite dish of the meal. The shrimp dumplings were also great -- the shrimp was fresh with a thin, chewy wrapper that I really enjoyed. The shrimp rice roll was also another favourite dish from the meal. The rice roll was so smooth and melted in the mouth. I tried the Chu Chow-style diced pork and peanut dumplings and didn't like it as much particularly due to the texture of the dumpling skin. The veggie & pork tofu skin wrap in oyster sauce did not hit the spot as I didn't enjoy the texture of the dumpling skin as it was chewy to eat. Finished with an egg custard tart, which was okay but not particularly memorable. I wanted to try the custard buns but they were sold out by then. read more

We went for dinner. The food took a while to come out, but everything was hot and fresh. They brought you compliments soaked peanuts and pickles cabbage. It was a good start, cabbage was crunchy had a nice light sour taste from the vinegar. Peanuts soft and flavorful The Peking duck (4 out of 5) was delicious. Buns were very fluffy, the duck was moist and flavorful. Really good. Everything together was delicious highly recommend. Meat was very tender and mosit Prawns and pumpkin salted egg yolk (3.5 out of 5). The prawns were delicious. Huge prawns very well seasoned. The batter was really crispy. The dish is pretty oily as it was deep fried. Could only eat a few pieces as it was heavy. The pumpkin was really good too. As good dish to share with lots of people. I got tired of it pretty quickly. Satay broccoli beef chow fun (2 out of 5) was very wet. Not too much flavor and was a bit over cooked. Had a few small chunks of pineapple. Complimentary pineapple bun with custard filling (4 out of 5), delicious. Careful really hot custard, burnt my mouth a bit. But very delicious . Chewy fluffy sweet and savory read more

We came here on Sunday for lunch. There was little to no wait and we were seated relatively quickly. The aesthetic of the restaurant was nice and the ambiance was very lively. You order on by selecting what you want on a form and the food came relatively quickly. We ordered: - Shrimp Dumpling - Juicy and delicious and very flavorful, but the shrimp wouldn't stay inside inside the skin. - Pan Fried Stuffed Chili Pepper - Spicy and very flavorful and the stuffing was delicious with the slight spiciness of the pepper. - Cucumber Salad - Fresh and crunchy, but the flavoring of the salad was very subtle and limited - Deep Fried Crispy Milk - The breading was a little too thick (and a bit oily), but not very sweet, which made it a good combination when dipped in the super sweet condensed milk. Overall, we had a great time eating here and will definitely be back in the future to try other items on the menu! read more

Great food, fast service. They do close midday 3-5 pm just FYI... i didn't realize this when we walked in at 2:15/2:30... i felt bad after sitting. but they were still happy to accept us and served us very quickly. id say just about everything is good. there was five of us and we loved every dish we got. the one different thing that i've never seen anywhere else was the crispy shrimp look fun. this is basically shrimp fried with string phyllo dough and wrapped in the look fun. it was good in that it gave a different texture that just all mushy (but i love the mush). it was a little oily but soo good. read more

It's not the coolest dimsum place BUT don't overlook them. It's got the standard dimsum and then some. The tea is really good. I personally abhor dimsum places with little to no parking, tight parking spots, and giant lines. Even though we went at noon on a Saturday, Lei Garden has great parking, ample sized parking spots and just a few people in the lobby. If you're in the mood for decent dimsum and you want to get in / out quickly, I'd check it out! read more

Lei Garden is my most favorite dim sum restaurant in the South Bay. You mark your orders directly onto a paper menu (it has pictures of most items) and the dishes are prepared made to order, which means mostly everything comes out together at the same time. This restaurant doesn't have staff pushing carts around for you to choose from. Although you don't get that traditional dim sum experience with the push carts and ladies yelling out their dishes I actually like that everything is freshly prepared. You have to wait a bit longer but the dishes come out steaming hot. The ambiance is what you might expect for a busy weekend brunch. On Saturday at noon there were several families waiting ahead of us and it took 15 mins for us to get a table. I didn't mind the table wait but the wait for food took longer than I expected, maybe 20 mins or so. As for food, I recommend the sticky rice, chives & shrimp dumplings, scallop & pea shoot dumplings, deep fried taro dumplings, baked char siu buns, deep fried taro dumplings, and the deep fried glutinous dumplings with pork. For 8 small dishes the total came to approximately $80, this includes added $2.50 per person for tea. They didn't automatically include gratuity for us like others had mentioned. Perhaps it's added for a large group (we had 3 people in our group). #25-04-05 read more

This was a good dim sum place for the area. The food is better than some of the surrounding areas. The waiters seem to be a little more attentive than other areas as well. We had a table of 6. They didn't have any turn tables though so it was harder to reach for food that was on the other side of the table. Parking can also be scarce on weekend mornings. Overall ambience is like other Chinese restaurants. You order on a ticket so you get everything fresh. And they bring it out to you as together as possible. read more

Come early as there is typically a long wait on the weekends. We came on a Sunday at around 11:45AM and had to wait around 30 minutes for a table of 2. The food was average. Siu Mai is usually my go-to at dim sum places and this one didn't hit! The fried milk was unique though. I think I rather go elsewhere due to the wait. read more

Great place for dim sum! The servers speak English and their food comes out fresh and flavorful. I would definitely go back especially for their baked pork buns yummy. We ordered your typical dim sum dishes like har grow , Pan fried daikon radish cake, crispy baked pork buns, shrimp dumplings, shu Mai, dried scallop & pork sticky rice lotus leaf wrap. The ambiance was really nice too for a weekend dim sum! The people dining in seemed to be regulars. Happy I found a place to go to besides Koi Palace. read more

Mother's Day weekend Saturday dinner, while a lot of restaurants are busy and full, this one still has some seatings and I could even call 30 mins before arrival to book a table for 6. We ordered half a set of banquet of 5 person with $338. Each dish was sumptuous and we even had left over after splitting them with 6 adults. Chicken with ginger sauce is a cold dish: I like the ginger sauce, flavorful. The BBQ combo dish is also a cold dish and it has seaweed, BBQ pork, roast duck and jelly fish: All are good. Walnut shrimp is decent. The XO sauce pork cheek stir-fry is flavorful. The steam fish is fresh and smooth, with silky flesh. The crab is my least favorite dish just because taking out the meat is so much trouble. The fish maw and tofu soup is ok, wish it's slightly more salty but overall loads of ingredients. For dessert, the restaurant gave us some baked buns and it's on the house. I think those are dim sum leftovers. Anyhow, we all loved the baked sesame buns. Service is a bit under-represented. For example, when the new dish was placed down, it almost swept away my plate while I was eating. I also have to ask for them to give us new plates while our own plates are piled up with bones and shells. They were also a bit slow in taking out the dirty dishes or helping us to make room for the new dishes by combining the half consumed dishes into one plate. However, when the waiter was helping us to distribute the soup to individual bowls, he paused to let me take a picture. Overall, my friends who had never visited this place enjoyed the food and wanted to revisit for dim sum. So I consider the dinner a good 4 star rating! read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. There were groups of people waiting outside to get seated. Luckily, a table for two had just opened up, so we were seated right away! We ordered so much food and everything was so good: salted fish (a little too salty) and chicken fried rice, chicken feet, roast duck, har gow, cucumber salad, and the custard bun. I wanted to order more because there was so much on the menu. I'll just have to come back! Also, we were so hungry that neither of us took photos the dishes haha. read more

I heard this place for a while and finally decided to bring family to have lunch over there. After seated we waited more than 10 mins until waiter showed up to take our order. We ordered 10 dishes and waiter didn't remind us that's way too much - probably he didn't care. When waiter/waitress brought in food I was so disappointed 2-3 dishes were placed directly on my napkins and I saw food even spilled onto the floor before put on the table. I asked waiter to help organize the plates a bit and she just walked way ignored me completely If food tastes great I would feel better. The duck is so greasy and is below average. The vegetable comes in with large plate and what a surprise - so stiff and chewy ! Tasted like plastic I would never go to that restaurant again. There are many better choice and this one is not worthy at all read more

Food was cold or barely warm. Chairs were littered with food. Service was meh. I usually don't expect too much about the experience at a Chinese restaurant bc it's the food that really matters, but the food was just not up to par here.

Came here for dim sum with family. We got here soon after they opened, and got seated right away. We ordered some of the typical dim sum, but one thing that was unique was a red rice roll with fish filet. The wrapper was a bit on the thicker side, but I actually prefer that. The fish filet were thick enough where it didn't just fall apart. All that to say, it was yummy. Everything else was the typical dim sum goodness. The food came out fast, but not all at once which tells me that they were steaming them when ordered. Overall, a great dim sum experience, and I would definitely come again for dim sum. read more

I was recommended this restaurant by a Cantonese friend who says this is the best dim sum they tried in the South Bay! Food is so tender and delicious and freshly made, each dish was perfectly cooked & I have to say the dim sum here is the closest I've tried to Hong Kong. Plates are priced a bit in the higher side, but well worth the quality. Service is standard, we came in a pretty busy lunch hour. Ambiance is lovely, clean and tidy with a traditional Chinese aesthetic with a modern touch. Would definitely return when I have a craving for dim sum! read more

(2/16/25) I'm not sure what happened to the service. We've been coming here for 5+ years, but within the past year the service has gone down a landslide. We came here with a reservation for Lunar New Years with my 95 year old grandpa. Our reservation was at 5. We did not receive our tea/hot water till 5:30. Our order was taken at 5:45 (an order of 6 different dishes). Our first dish came at 6:15. We proceeded to wait in 30 minute intervals before our next two dishes came out. By then the time is 7:10. We then waited 30 minutes before one of our last dishes (mushroom noodles) to come out. When it arrived, the noodles were so salty that we were worried for my grandpa's health!!!! Finally they gave us our $300+ bill before our last dish (FRIED RICE) came out! On top of all of that they charged an 18% service fee?! For what service?! In total of being at the restaurant from 5:00-8:00. We drank 3 different refills of tea (tea pot) and waited for 6 dishes within a 2 hour time span. The only thing this taught me was to admire how much patience my grandpa has. For my upcoming lunar new years goals, I plan to learn the patience of my 95 year old grandpa and never come back to this restaurant again! read more

We thought we would try dim sum here again even though the owners/chefs changed. I am really sad the food is just not as good as before. We had a party of 8 and we ordered all the usuals but only the sesame balls with red beans were good. Quite disappointed and 18% tip was added automatically with a bigger party. read more

We tried Lei Garden for the first time on a weekend afternoon! We ordered their siu mai, har gow, fried Ham Sui Gok (Fried Glutinous Rice Dumplings), BBQ pork pastry, and fried shrimp wontons. We appreciate how the food all came out super hot! Some dim sum places will only serve some items hot, and some items are sometimes lukewarm or cold. The BBQ pork pastry was such a highlight for this meal! I cannot get over how good it tasted. I personally really enjoyed the milk powder flavor of the dough! We will come back for more! The fried shrimp wontons were also very hot and delicious! read more

The food was amazing here! We ordered a little bit of everything - a good variation of their dim sums, turnip cake, cucumbers, snow pea leaves (not in menu but offered if asked), fish congee, fried rice, beef balls, pork spare ribs, and finished off with egg tarts. If I had a favorite it was the fried tofu skin with shrimp and chives - delicious! The egg tarts could have been skipped. Service is where I kicked off a star. Maybe it was because we came almost around closing time, but it was not something to write home about. Ambiance is casual enough to bring young children. read more

As a Cantonese I've wanted to try the dim sum here for a while. We had a fairly decent lunch here a while back. This time I came for dim sum with a bunch of friends. In general I think all the dim sum dishes we ordered were pretty good, with 腸粉 being the most memorable. I was pleasantly surprised by the various 腸粉 flavors and I liked them all. The other dishes were also quite generous. 糯米雞 might be a bit lacking in terms of the ingredients. No one would say no to a 糯米雞 filled quite generously, but this one ain't it. The bill came out to be ok, $40-50 per adult. Normal Bay Area price. Service was good, a very typical Cantonese restaurant vibe. Some waiters don't speak Cantonese, but it's totally fine. Parking was plenty around the restaurant. Location is quite convenient (there's a 99 ranch nearby). I think this would be a safe option for us, in the sense that if our non-Cantonese friends ask for a dim sum place in South Bay, we won't feel bad recommending this place to them. read more

Lei Garden - Various dim sums - Dim Sum Near Me - Cupertino, California

We came here our last day in California. We got there around 11:00am and it was packed. We thought it opened at 11 but it must've opened earlier. They have a good system to check in. You tell them your name and they write your name and how many in your party on a paper. Then they give you a number. When a table is ready for you, they call your number. It was our first time going there and it was very big inside. We got a table for six and were serviced right away. It was dim sum time so we got a lot of little dishes. We got chow mein, duck, green beans, steamed pork buns, har gau, egg tarts, look fun with char siu, potstickers, dried scallop and pork sticky rice, green onion pancake, and veggie and pork bean curd. My favorites were the chow mein and the steamed pork buns. The chow mein had thin noodles and had really good flavor. The steamed pork buns had char siu in it and it had a nice sweet crispy crust on the top of it. It was a nice complement to it. All of the food was very good and we all left very stuffed. We will definitely try to come to this place again next time read more

Standard dim sum options. Most of the items were good, but nothing to write home about. We got the shrimp rice crepe, the Chinese donut rice crepe, XLB, SJB, BBQ pork pastry, Portuguese egg tart, and the lotus sticky rice. Service is prompt, and if you go at opening time, there is no wait. read more
