If you're looking for delicious dim sum in Dublin, this spot is definitely worth a visit! The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a leisurely meal with family and friends. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the siu mai, bean curd rolls with shrimp, pork, and mushrooms, pan-fried chive and shrimp dumplings, roasted duck, and salt-and-pepper squid. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The standouts for me were the crispy salt-and-pepper squid, perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice, and the roasted duck with its crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The pan-fried dumplings had a wonderful texture with a flavorful filling, while the bean curd rolls were packed with savory goodness. The siu mai were plump, fresh, and exactly what you'd hope for from a quality dim sum restaurant. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere exceeded expectations. Everything we tried was delicious, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommended for anyone craving quality dim sum in the Dublin area. read more

Solid 3 star family style dining where some items, like the duck was good and others like the fried tofu was meh. Round tables with lazy Susies, as it should be. Service was better than other spots, more personable. read more

Came here on Friday for lunch and came in right when they open. They opened on time and the restaurant was ready. Mayflower in Dublin is much cleaner than some other dim sum. Bathroom was very clean. We had a long lunch to celebrate my friend's birthday but the waiters didn't seem pushy to make us finish and leave. Tea pot was refilled with water multiple times. Staff were exceptional and courteous. Food was good overall. The sweet dumpling with sesame and peanut sauce was freshly made and hot. It was the highlight of our lunch and a tasty dessert. The roasted pork used to taste better. Don't forget to get a picture w their signature horse by the front entrance :) Tips: put in your 2nd order of dessert after you had all the other dim sums. read more

I love this dim sum spot in the Dublin area. When we arrived on a weekend, the main floor was packed, so they took us to the second floor, which I didn't even know they had! They had to take us out of the restaurant and reenter from the side of the building to go upstairs. The second floor looked just as nice, clean, and spacious. I might even prefer it because it's quieter, more peaceful, and just more comfortable overall. As for the food, most of what we tried was delicious. We ordered some staple dim sum items like pork siu mai and har gow, and both were really good. I also tried the shrimp and scallop dumplings, which are similar to har gow, and those were pretty tasty too. We also got the fried rice with salted fish, and it was made in a "yang chow" style, so it was rather pale in color, but don't let that fool you, because it was really flavorful. We also ordered their fried calamari, which was meh at best and was nothing special. That was probably my least favorite dish. We also got lo mai gai and deep fried taro dumplings filled with pork. Overall, the food was really yummy. The service was great too. The staff were attentive and quick to bring extra chili sauce and other condiments when we requested them. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Updated review from 7 years, for dinner: Dim sum is always great for family meals but we're also big fans of Chinese family-style dinner where you'll order 8-10 different entrees for 8-10 guests. You can go all out with set banquet menus ranging from $500 to 1000/table, or assemble your own for much lower cost. Mayflower's dinner options are superb and with portion size and quality improving, raising review to 4 stars. Some notable dishes: 1. Whole roasted chicken with crispy skin and sauce on the side is a must for us. Its not listed on the menu, so inform your server and they'll take care of you. 2. Smoked Seabass with mayo (#60) - yes mayo actually pairs well with the giant smoked sea bass fillet with crispy exterior and velvety soft meat underneath. We ordered this dish from a different restaurant for our wedding banquet ages ago and our guests raved about it all night! 3. Salt and Pepper pork chops (#84) were excellent - meaty and soft and balanced with seasoning. I think my son ate an entire chop. 4. Two excellent veggie dishes are Chinese Greens (#118) and sautéed asparagus with mushrooms (#120). 5. Recommend avoiding the tiger prawns (#64) - all the flavor seems concentrated on the shells. They also have free desserts for everyone - choose between mango pudding, cold turtle jelly, and warm red bean tapioca. For picky toddlers they'll also throw in some crispy fortune cookies. read more

Mayflower has been a regular dim spot for many years when I lived in the Bay Area especially and literally lived across the street Lol and still do go whenever I get a chance. It is very spacious inside with plenty of dining tables. Very clean and well maintained with very nice decor. Lots of parking located at a shopping plaza. Once inside, you'll be gazing at a shiny life-sized glass mosaic horse. It looks incredible!!! Guided and seated at a table with a menu in which you check off which dim sum dishes you want to order. This visit I ordered har gow, siu mai, vegetarian egg roll, and baked egg custard tart. Also got hot tea. Food was delicious as always! Service was very good, and the staff are friendly and very courteous. Will definitely be back again. read more

Ive been here several times now for dim sum and I've been told it's one of the better dim sum restaurants in the area. It's a spacious restaurant and we've never had to wait to get seated. Service is quick. The food is decent for dim sum. Parking is easy since it's in a big plaza. read more

Very busy for a Saturday night! Should've made a reservation, but the wait wasn't terrible for 4 people, maybe 20 mins. Pretty loud too, I felt like I had to yell to talk to people at my table. Cold cut combination platter: large portion and beautifully presented. The taste was just okay though, I thought the beef slices could've been a bit more tender. Braised eggplant: I thought the flavor of the eggplant was good but I think the bell peppers and onions were too crunchy for my preference? Pea sprouts with bamboo pith and fish balls: pea sprouts were a bit tough to chew on. The soup it was in was very tasty though and the leftovers made for a very tasty soup later. Tenderloin beef with Maggie sauce: really good, tender beef cubes. Mushrooms it came with were good but too many onions for my personal preference. At the end of the day, the restaurant is fine if you want a nicer Chinese meal but I feel like the food taste is just alright. I do like the little radish and peanut appetizer and the dessert soup they give you at the end though. read more

We arrived on Sunday morning at 10 am but the place is already opened even though on the door stated open at 10 am Sunday. Anyway we gathered all our parties and went in for a table. The server is nice and friendly. We walked in and got greeted by the disco giant horse standing in the lobby. Pretty impressive! That was 7 of us and then we of course ordered a bunch of dim sim and a beef chow fry. All the dim sims we tried were very good and delicious. Sorry I was focus on eating and forgot to take pic of the food! And beef chow fan was very yummy too Definitely come early if u can to get a table and gather with your friends and families read more

We have been meeting up with family and friends at Mayflower restaurant for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. The restaurant is huge. You are instantly greeted by a giant silver horse as you enter the main dining area in the first floor. On the last two occasions, we were seated in the 2nd floor which is also huge. We ordered a multitude of dishes: Black Bean Chicken Feet, Shumai, Fried Shrimp Balls, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Singaporean Chow Fun noodles, and many more. Shumai and Fried Shrimp Balls (my staple) were good but not top-tier. Chicken Feet though was spectacular. The fried rice was very good as well. Overall, we had a hearty feast for my mom's birthday celebration. I do like to note though that the prices of dim-sum restaurants have skyrocketed though the years. It was pretty pricey, but all of us left full and satisfied, I felt that it was justified. read more

Food is ok... not excellent but it is not bad either.. very greasy and filling is different from the usual dim sum. - Glutinous rice with meat, filling is wet. - Chinese doughnut wrapped with rice noodle is very soggy and not crispy. Service is excellent, the bus boy is very attentive. Why 1 star? For the price I'm paying for, almost $10 per portion for 4 piece siu mai, I expected to have a "wow" food that will play a song in my mouth and not just ordinary dim sum. read more

Short Story: Just an okay Chinese/dim sum restaurant in Dublin Long Story: I came here on a recent Saturday afternoon getting some dim sum and fresh fish to go. The place is a decent size but it does get quite busy on the weekends so be sure to get there early! I've tried all of their dim sum and lots of their entrees including roast duck, dried scallop and egg white fried rice, roasted pork, etc. One of the things that upset me was their lack of coordination on line management. There were people all over the place picking up items, waiting for a table, online delivery drivers, people waiting to pay their bill, people waiting to ask the hostess questions, etc. The staff either did not care or was unable to do anything. Verdict: I'm not sure if I will go back... read more

The first thing that greeted us when we walked in the restaurant was this spectacular shiny Tang horse designed by world renowned visual artist Stephen Stefanou. Wow! We started with complimentary pickled radish/carrots and salted peanuts. We had the smoked sea bass, chau zhou style fried rice seafood BBQ pork and braised tofu with vegetables (mushrooms and baby bok choy). Everything was delicious! For dessert - complimentary red bean soup (delicious!!), fortune cookies and goodies. Our server was sweet and helpful. Beautiful ambience. We could hear each other talk. Free parking on the lot once we were able to find the restaurant! Pricey, but with the comps, service, ambiance, quality of food, well worth it. We'll be back! read more

A cozy, comfortable spot for dim sum. They have all the classic dishes on the menu. It's packed on weekends. There may be a wait at times. Portions are huge. Best to come with a group and share, so you can taste a lot of different things. This place makes dim sum pretty accessible, with an English menu, easy ordering and helpful servers who can explain the dishes to you. Looks like the cooks really know what they're doing. Scallion pancake had a nice crispy exterior and buttery interior. I had to request sauce for it, it didn't come with any. My favorite thing I tried was rice paper roll with fish fillet and cilantro. The rice paper roll was so soft and yummy, doused with soy sauce. The delicate flavor of cilantro really came through. read more

Their chili sauce was REALLY good, like I started putting it in everything. Beef rice roll (chang fen)--7.5/10, rice roll was fresh and chewy but skimped on the filling...there was so little beef Steamed bbq pork bun--9/10, this item never disappoints but was not as fluffy as other places I've tried Radish cake--8/10, I would describe it as a slightly savory mochi Sticky rice dumpling wrapped in lotus leaf (zong zi)--10/10, must order for savory lovers. I like to dip it in white sugar. Taro puff--7/10, crispy exterior with meat filling Shu mai--9/10, generous and meaty Black bean spare ribs--8/10, good flavor but some pieces were difficult to chew, fall off the bone was rare I would recommend ordering 6-8 dim sum dishes for two people. read more

The food is very good and authentic in the Bay Area. The bones is you don't have to go to San Francisco or Oakland.

This is our local dim sum go-to place. It definitely reminds me of Hong Kong-without the carts. Ordering from the menu assures fresh and hot items. Staff was attentive and prompt. It was clean and well trafficked. Good family brunch fun. read more

Disappointed with how a food safety issue was handled. We recently dined here and ordered a seafood fried rice. While eating, my child suddenly pulled a large, sharp piece of shell out of his mouth. It was big enough to potentially cause injury, which was very concerning. We notified the server, he immediately took away the fried rice along with the piece of shell. Initially we were told to order a different fried rice instead of remaking it, which was surprising. After speaking with the manager, they agreed to remake the seafood fried rice and assured us it would be safe. In the end, we were still charged for the dish despite the food safety issue. Finding a sharp shell in a child's food is concerning, and I expected better handling of the situation. I hope management takes food safety more seriously moving forward. read more

Great dim sum with solid classic options. The menu sticks to the basics, and everything I tried was up to par. I came on a weekend with family and we were seated within minutes in the upstairs dining area. I personally prefer sitting in the main restaurant on the first floor since the decor is nicer but it was pretty packed. Upstairs felt more like a large open space where they just set out some big round tables and chairs. They do have an elevator if you don't want to take the stairs which is nice for the elderly. You order by marking off what you want on a paper menu which has a few photos of their most popular items to help guide you. You can also ask for special dishes or order off their regular menu. Service is okay but my expectations are usually low for dim sum spots. You'll probably need to wae the waiters down and follow up on requests which is pretty typical. Most people come here for the food and not the service. The place is clean and simple. Prices are fair, and the food quality is consistently good. Overall, it's a solid dim sum spot in the East Bay if you're looking for something reliable and low-key. read more

Great place for a big family dinner for a birthday or other event, chinese banquet style. Seafood highlights - salt and pepper fried prawns, steamed whole rock cod, and lobster with ginger & scallion. Traditional Chinese Roasted Meats - pecking duck, bbq roast pork, crispy pork belly, etc. There is a big TV in one of the dining areas in case you need to watch sports! I've only been here for dinner, but I hear the dim sum is pretty good too. Prices are very reasonable given the large portion sizes. read more

Standard but pretty good dim sum! Do expect a wait, especially if you're coming on a weekend lunch. We put our names down and waited around 20 minutes for a table to open up. They don't have carts, but you check what you want on a menu and it's delivered to you pretty quickly. We got the steamed bbq pork buns, radish cakes, black bean spare ribs, tofu skin, shumai, and beef rice noodle rolls. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out to me too much except for the bbq pork buns. I loved the soft slightly sweet bread and flavorful filling. Overall, it satisfies the dim sum craving! Service is also quite nice. read more

They have a pretty big parking lot with plenty of parking. On a hot day, I parked a little further under the trees and kept my car cool while I was eating in the restaurant. I came here with my family for my grandpa's birthday and we were a pretty big table, 14 deep. On a Saturday night, which was pretty busy, we still had excellent service. My water cup was never empty, our tea pot was always full of steeped tea ready to be poured, and the food came out quickly and tasted delicious. I highly applaud the servers that work here who not only worked so fast but always with a smile on their faces. I can't even begin to describe the mouthwatering dishes that came out. We started with roasted pork where they asked how we would like it chopped (easily my favorite dish) the pork was juicy, salty and the skin was so crispy, it pretty much shattered when you bite into it. They masterfully took out all of the bones so there was no need to worry about any of that. After the pork, we had roasted duck with hoisin sauce and bao, onion garlic chicken, Chinese broccoli that tasted like it was stir fried in a well heated wok that was both flavorful and crunchy, honey walnut shrimp, sautéed sliced beef (my next favorite dish, and from the way it was gone so fast, everyone else's favorite as well), pork chops in orange glaze, seafood fried rice, and fried fish marinated in soy sauce. We also got to choose which desserts we wanted to have which were all super refreshing after a savory meal. I have been to a lot of Chinese restaurants in my lifetime and I can pretty much say that this is my favorite one that I will be coming back to. The food was so good and the service was excellent. Please stop by and give their entire menu a try. read more

I would recommend not to order their suckling pig for take out. I ordered this as part of our Christmas Eve dinner and it came cold and the skin was soggy, not crispy at all. Price was $368 + tax. read more

Mayflower has always been a staple for my family. Whether it's for birthdays, holidays, or just a weekend get-together, this is our go-to spot for classic Cantonese-style family meals. What keeps us coming back is the consistency in quality, generous portions, and that familiar home-style flavor that's hard to beat. Here's what we ordered this time around: Steamed Red Snapper This is a must-order dish. The fish is incredibly fresh -- you can see them swimming in the tank before they're prepared. It's steamed to perfection, then topped with aromatics and a light seafood soy sauce that enhances the natural sweetness of the fish without overpowering it. Delicate, clean, and deeply satisfying. Beef with Broccoli A classic done right. The beef is thinly sliced and ultra-tender, with just the right amount of sear. It's coated in a savory brown gravy that clings beautifully to both the meat and the vibrant green broccoli. Comforting and balanced. Braised Eggplant This dish surprised me with how flavorful it was. The eggplant is tender but not mushy, with a rich, slightly sweet sauce that has deep umami. There's also a smoky undertone that gives it a nice complexity. Definitely a favorite of the night. Scallop and Egg Fried Rice Light, fluffy, and loaded with flavor. The eggs are silky and the scallops add a delicate sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory base of the rice. It's not greasy at all -- just well-balanced and great as a side or even on its own. Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) Simple, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The stems are crisp yet tender. Dip it in the side of oyster sauce for a savory punch that enhances the vegetable's natural taste. Sweet and Sour Pork This is a crowd-pleaser every time. The pork is fried to a light golden crisp and stays juicy inside. The sauce is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, coating each piece without being cloying. It's one of those dishes where you reach for seconds before finishing your first bite. Roasted Duck One of the highlights of the meal. The duck skin is beautifully crispy while the meat remains juicy and flavorful. It has a subtle five-spice aroma and is not overly salty or oily. Highly recommend for duck lovers -- or even those hesitant to try it. Pork Cheek with Bitter Melon A dish for more adventurous palates. The pork cheek is melt-in-your-mouth tender and rich, while the bitter melon adds a sharp contrast that cleanses the palate. The bitterness may not be for everyone, but if you enjoy that earthy flavor, it's a great combo. Final Thoughts: Mayflower is perfect for large family-style meals -- the dishes are made for sharing, and you can really taste the love and tradition behind each one. It's the kind of place that brings generations together over hearty, flavorful food. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on both quality and nostalgia, this is it. read more

Mayflower in Dublin is still my go-to spot for dim sum. I stopped in on a weekend afternoon by myself and had a great experience from start to finish. The dim sum was consistently solid--fresh, hot, and exactly what you want when you're craving the classics. While Koi Palace is another good option in the area, I personally prefer the tea (lighter taste, is not as strong at Koi) at Mayflower. It just pairs perfectly with the meal and makes the whole experience feel a little more relaxed and enjoyable. On top of the food, the staff really stood out--friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. If you're looking for dependable, delicious dim sum with great service (and tea that hits the spot), Mayflower continues to deliver. read more

Always a good experience here. We ordered two dishes of seafood, one with shrimps and one with scallops and eggs. Both came out in generous portions. Clean and fresh tastes. Most authentic Cantonese food I can find in the Bay Area. Needed something to treat our body and mind with some warm foods after a long week of working. Exceptional service and attention to details. Tea is always good to add. read more

To start, never assume because I am irish (pale) I do not want soy cause and hot sauce. I never noticed until I looked around and every table but mine had it. (All Asians) . Food was bland, just okay. I know it was Thanksgiving but I had nothing to be thankful for in this meal. I do not mind paying top dollar, I do mind being treated poorly. I took that as my money was not appreciated as much as others. If I am going to pay high dollar it should not be any different from my surroundings tables. I will not tell people to go here unless you are asian....apparently that is the only way you are treated like you are appreciated. FyI. Food is MEH read more

I haven't been here for dim sum for a while. I came here for dim sum on a weekday lunch time. Not crowded. The service was great. I got a table right away. The ambiance is good. I got to pick a table at a quiet corner so my friend and I can talk comfortably. The 5 dim sum that I ordered are all tasty. The food quality was better than last time I was here. Overall, it was a better than I expected lunch experience. Highly recommended if you are a dim sum lover as I do. :) read more

Very busy on a Sunday lunch. Luckily my party of 3 arrived before the huge crowds and we were seated in ~10 minutes after arriving at around 10:45am. We shared the baked BBQ pork bun w/ crispy top, congee w/ thousand year egg & pork, pan-fried daikon cake, daikon cake sautéed in XO chili sauce, beef rice noodle roll, fried Chinese flour crispy wrapped in rice noodle roll, and beef short ribs in black pepper sauce. All of the dishes were pretty standard compared to other dim sum places I've been to. My favorites were probably the daikon cake sautéed in XO chili sauce, baked BBQ pork bun w/ crispy top, and the beef rice noodle roll. Service was fantastic! They were attentive, on top of tea/water refills, and checked in frequently. Food came out fast too! Would come back if I were in the area and craving dim sum, but wouldn't bust a mission particularly for it. read more

First off let me start off by giving some Pros and cons about Mayflower Pro: -great quality food I've never had dim sum like this place - service is impeccable I've never seen a staff so dialed in - the staff is very on top of keeping the restaurant clean - environment is very nice too the way the restaurant is set up is very nice -very well priced I could spend well over 150 dollars here with my family and get a mountain of food and we still have left overs for a couple of days Con: -I'd have to say there really is no Cons to this restaurant every time I come to this restaurant it's 100/10 everything my only real complaint is that it's so busy all the time which isn't really a complaint it's just a testament of how great this restaurant really is the owners of this restaurant should be proud of this restaurant!! Plus that chili sauce is on point and needs to be sold everywhere I don't know how you guys make it but it is so addicting really if I could shake the owner's hand I would and thank him for providing my family an amazing dining experience every single time we go in!!!! read more

We decided to visit for breakfast on a Sunday morning, arriving 30 minutes before opening, expecting a long line or a crowd, but to our surprise, there was none. Reservations aren't needed, but they will only seat you once everyone in your party has arrived. This is traditional dim sum, but instead of carts moving from table to table, they provide trifold menus where you mark off what you'd like to order. The portion sizes were much larger than I'm used to, so we ended up with a lot of leftovers to take home. My favorite dish was the salt and pepper tofu--it was super crispy but not greasy at all. They also bring homemade chili oil to the table, which I thought was flavorful but not spicy. Definitely a place I'd visit again! read more
