I'd like begging from that: im kinda russian and Chinese food make me crazy. Mr.SiuMai - thats is one of alot restaurants near by my house and i made choose for that place Every time im getting delicious food and drink (fried rice with bbq pork and Puer tea my top1). Staff is super friendly and keep clear this restaurant every single day. Liz is best of the best, she keeps warm my tea. I'll never tired calling my friends to dinner here. I love this place. read more

Most dim sum spots around me were closed by 2:30 PM, and it was already close to 2, so my buddy and I decided to try Mr. Siumai. Walking in, I noticed they have two self-order kiosks, which is a plus. The place is remodeled and has a more modern, contemporary feel compared to before. Same location, different name. Then I saw the prices. $6 for 3 pieces of siumai!That's $2 per piece, which is honestly wild for a mom-and-pop dim sum spot. We ordered duck, fried rice, siumai, shrimp rice rolls, chicken feet, and a few other items. The siumai was just okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The fried rice was good. The chicken feet were solid.The shrimp rice roll came out without the usual sauce it's always served with. When we asked, the staff just pointed to the soy sauce on the table. If you eat dim sum regularly, you know that's not the same sauce. Overall, the food was hit or miss, and the pricing doesn't match the quality. The remodel looks nice, but higher prices alone don't justify average dim sum. read more

My family and I have been a loyal customer here at this location since before the name changed to Mr SiuMai (not sure if it was a rebrand or new ownership). I've always enjoyed the food, which is why this review honestly makes me sad to write. I ordered dim sum a few weeks ago from here and everything was great, which is why I came back again. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was really disappointing. First, I ordered 9 pieces of siu mai but was only given 6 - and I was still charged for 9. At $5.99 for just 3 small pieces, that's not cheap, so that was frustrating. Second, the crispy shrimp bean curd skin rolls weren't crispy at all and were actually cold. I had to reheat them in the air fryer just to get some texture back. Lastly, the baked BBQ pork buns - one of the main reasons I come here - were also cold. I was genuinely excited to get home and enjoy this meal, so it was disappointing to experience such a noticeable drop in quality, especially with smaller portions and higher prices. I'm not sure what changed, but I hope the consistency and quality would improve because this used to be one of my go-to spots. I think this was the last straw and sign for me to give this place up. It really is such a bummer. read more

order mr.siumai via doordash and was disappointed. we ordered the large pork and century egg congee, fried shrimp and chive dumplings, shrimp rice noodle rolls, crispy shrimp bean curd skin rolls, chinese dough sticks, and marinated egg. the congee was truly disappointing. there was thin strands of pork and small pieces of century egg that didn't equal to even a whole egg. it was mostly just the soup. it was almost like the bottom barrel of the pot with no more toppings. there was barely any pork pieces. even when we first saw the congee in its container, it was mostly white without any remnants of protein. super disappointing. the only thing redeeming with the congee was the dried chinese doughnuts that we ordered to eat with the congee. the shrimp and chive fried dumplings was cooked in a lot of oil and so there was barely anything fried about it. the pieces were also pretty small compared to other dimsum places. did not really enjoy this as well. i had to blot the oil with napkins to reduce the oil. the crispy shrimp bean curd skin rolls were also pretty oily as well. shrimp rice noodle rolls were pretty flavorless even with the soy sauce that came with the noodles. i'm sure the food is prob better in person but i think there are better places to get dimsum and congee with a better price point as well. read more

I am so pleased with this little dim sum spot. It's a fresh take on takeout dim sum. Quite affordable too - about $55 for enough food to feed 3. There are a handful of tables but a lot of folks did takeout. They have all your favorite dim sum dishes, including chinese donut cheung fun. My favorites were their siumai which was so flavorful and meaty, and the chinese donut cheung fun that's best when it's fresh. Next time I'll try their har gow and egg tarts! read more

My friend wanted dim sum, so we searched around for a new place to try after a hike. We ended up at Mr. SiuMai because of the pictures. When we got here, it wasn't what I had imagined - unlike usual dimsum places, we ordered at a kiosk in front (or with a staff), sat down, and then waited for our order to come out. There's some space for dine-in, but it seems most people came in to either order to go or to just pick up. We came on a Wednesday mid afternoon, so it wasn't too packed, but I could imagine the wait during normal lunch/dinner hours. There was a good variety to choose from and we ended up ordering about 11-12 different items. All of them looked good and we wanted to try a bunch of different things. We got our own water, small plate and napkins, but staff brought out a pot of tea for us after asking if we wanted some. Our order came out pretty quickly and everything was great. I especially liked the piggie custard buns! Of course, we ended up taking a good amount to go. I would like probably come back here just to pick up some dimsum to go next time I'm around. read more

Came here to get a quick bite without dining in for dim sum. This place has different variation of siu mai that makes me excited to try. Curry siu mai (5/5): Imagine Japanese curry flavor with siu mai. I loved how juicy it was and how I could taste the juice with curry. Overall I hope to come back again read more

Mr SiuMai - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

I have frequented Mr. Siu Mai a handful of times now. When the craving hits for some quick dim sum, I don't hesitate to come here. Usually I try to arrive before noon on the weekend as the parking lot can be pretty crazy. The ladies working here are efficient, and if there is nobody else in the store you can just order directly in front of the steamed dim sum and fried dim sum areas. Otherwise the kiosk shows all their offerings My favorite dim sum dish is their spicy siu mai. Once I got to try a piece of curry siu mai since they were out of the third piece of spicy and that was not bad too. I also like their chicken feet and turnip cake. With each visit we try to get something else aside from the 3 mainstays but haven't been impressed with the fried items. The rice roll when I tried it was just okay as well and not the texture I prefer. I did like their mochi and the bbq pork puffs but don't crave those regularly. I haven't had a chance to try any of their noodles or bbq dishes yet so will update when I get an opportunity to have those as well. read more

Came for lunch as a group. The parking is in a lot shared with Pho Kim Long, so think in terms of small compact spaces and limited parking. There are a few tables inside and for party of 6 we managed to get a combined table near the fridge. There are 2 more small tables near the entrance and a long table for outdoor seating. I have not been back for awhile, and this time we tired a variety of dim sum. We felt that the quality has come down a bit, my judgement is: OK: Chicken feet, spare ribs, siu mai, beef chow fun Meh: sticky rice in lotus leaf, beef rice noodle roll (the house made soy sauce did not elevate any flavor), congee with pork and century egg (no seasoning) Will not order again: Shanghai dumplings XLB (thick skin and breaks at the bottom when trying to scoop it out from the tin foil. They do have soup inside. My all time favorite is their taro cake, which is sold in a whole 8" tin. It's a fridge item; I like to slice it and pan fry at home. Service is minimal other than delivering the food to the table. We got our own extra bowls, spoons and napkins, etc. So expect self service. When talking to the staff, they are friendly. read more

Mr SiuMai - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

Mr. Siumai is one of those places where the highs are very high--and the rest is fine if you know what you're ordering. Start with the mochi. These are huge, pillowy-soft, and generously filled with actual chunks of fruit. Mango or durian, it doesn't matter--this is the must-order and easily the best thing on the menu. The BBQ buns have good, savory filling, but the bread itself is a bit on the firm side rather than fluffy. Same issue with the custard buns--they're shaped like the cutest little piglets and totally Instagram-ready, but the custard is bland and the bun has the same slightly hard texture. Fun to look at, less exciting to eat. For siumai, stick with the pork & shrimp. Solid flavor, classic combo done right. The chicken siumai runs a little tough (not unexpected), and overall the wrappers feel slightly over-steamed, missing that bounce and chew you want. The BBQ duck and pork fall right in the middle--not memorable, not disappointing. Bottom line: come hungry for the mochi, order the pork & shrimp siumai, enjoy the buns with tempered expectations, and treat the piglet custard buns as a novelty. Not everything shines, but the highlights make it worth a stop. read more

We always come and leave here with a great impression of the place. Good employees and great foods. It's a casual and small dim sum spot, but it's filled with colorful items and buns. Love it. Credit cards accepted at both kiosk machines for dine-in or takeout. Plenty of tables and chairs indoors and outdoors here. Nice. Menu items are generous and around $5.99 per dish, it's still legit for Cantonese dim sims and affordable in the area. Yes, crowded public parking lot shared with the smoke shop, Pho Kim Long restaurant, and others. However, if you arrive on weekdays during 9am/10am or so, you'll get good VIP parking with lesser foot traffic. Downside is always this ghetto parking lot which has narrow aisles. Mr. SiuMai is worth it though. They have a cute takeout bag too. Must love. Got my order very fast. Staff was friendly and experienced. Bao buns and sweet buns are all very good in presentation over the display counter. Spare ribs, salted egg yolk buns, regular shrimp siumai, leek & shrimp dumplings, small chow mein noodles, hot tea from a pot, etc. I'll definitely come back for spare ribs again because they add the yellow pumpkin squash that I love in it. Quality foods. No complaints. All were tasty and delicious. Poured my own soy sauce & hot chili sauce that was on my table. Good vibes. $5.99 per dish was well worth it. They have plenty of foods to choose from. It's like eating in Chinatowns. I like ordering at the kiosks too, but note that they do get lots of customers ordering takeouts throughout the day, so don't take too long at the kiosks. Great impression so far. I will be revisiting again. The iced lemon beverage was definitely for my tastebuds. Refreshing. I also purchased a BBQ pork & roasted duck rice plate to go. Looks great! Comes with veggies. I added a sponge cake for takeout and wow, it was huge! read more

I ordered the wonton noodles, fish porridge, and Chive dumplings. The wonton noodles and chive dumplings were standard and okay, but the fish porridge was phenomenal.

We found this dimsum place online and wanted to try it. Parking was tough as there was a very popular pho place next door. We walked in to kiosk stations to order our food. There were tables and chairs to eat in but it seemed like most people were ordering to go. It took over 30 minutes to get our order. We brought our food home and was disappointed. The soup was lukewarm and not very flavorful. The wontons were hard and chewy. But we did enjoy the shrimp and chives and the red bean sesame balls. read more

Skip ordering the boba! It's not what you would think! I ordered a thai milk tea with boba for the first time (which I thought would be the regular black pearls), but instead got a...well see the picture...crushed...crystal jelly??? I'm not sure how how else to describe. My friend and I went to double check with the workers since we thought they may have mixed up our order but they said that is how their boba is and that it was more of pearls not boba (their ordering says boba btw and aren't they the same thing?) Additionally they said since it was an add on of only 50 cents there was only a little bit. I mean...50 cents for an add on is pretty regular...for a regular amount but the issue was more like this is not what regular boba is or what you'd expect lol. Otherwise, been here a couple times (mostly for their red bean balls which r super crispy on the outside and I would say are worth). However, the first time I came here some of their dishes ...tasted kinda ...doughy (we ordered things like many diff siu mai) and gave me an upset stomach. Things are also pricey for a takeout dimsum place. read more

This won't be some fancy sit down dim sum spit with carts of dim sum flowing. It's literally a take out spot. You can dine in but it's way more casual.

You go up to the courter, check out their touch screen and photos and try not to get overwhelmed and over order. I always over order. I'm glad there's this option for their dim sum fix. read more

Warning... parking can be a nightmare We have been going to this small dim sum place (can't recall if it had a name ) for years, mainly during Lunar New Year for the annual fresh #油角 (fried peanut dumplings?). It seemed that they have changed owner, renovated and modernized the shop with touch less POS. Just glad the 油角仔 is still an available item for New Year! The place is clean but crowded, they managed to put as many tanks as possible. The POS is simple to use, but due to the vast offerings it took me a while to get what I wanted. I am sure I will be a pro soon. The dim sum tasted pretty good and the prices are reasonable. The wooden tray they use is super cute. Overall very unassuming place with good value. I see myself coming here if I am in the area and want something quick and easy on the wallet and I will make a trip during Lunar New Year just for the fried treats. read more

We found out this dim sum place when we came for pho and decided to try it out the following week. The restaurant was small but offered dim sum full day. Ordering can be done at the kiosk or with the staff. They had a pretty wide selection of dim sum. We ordered pork belly & duck with rice, Siu Mai, chicken feet, and warm soy milk. Pork belly and duck were very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It came with rice and steamed lettuce. The Siu Mai we ordered had a mixture of shrimp, beef, and chicken Siu Mai, which were all freshly steamed. My favorite was the shrimp Siu Mai as the other two had strong ginger taste in them. Chicken feet were tender and well seasoned. Soy milk to my surprise, was served in a bowl instead of a cup, which was a little inconvenient to drink. Overall I think it's a descent place to get dim sum cravings satisfied at a reasonable price. Parking could be difficult during meal times because a lot of people came for pho next door. read more

I came here for dim sum after spotting a ton of 1-star reviews on Yelp. Took the time to read through them, and honestly, it just seems like there are way too many complainers out there spouting nonsense. probably over minor stuff like wait times or whatever. Ignored the noise and decided to try it myself. Everything was spot on! The food was delicious steamy har gow, fluffy char siu bao, and all the classics tasted just like authentic Cantonese dim sum from back home. Service was friendly, portions generous, and the vibe felt genuine, not some watered-down tourist trap. If you're into real deal dim sum, skip the haters and come hungry. Highly recommend! read more

Mr SiuMai - 菠蘿叉燒包 bbq pork pineapple bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

Never noticed Mr SiuMai only because I always come into this plaza just for Pho Kim Long. Coincidentally found this place because I was looking for quick takeout options nearby. Like always, parking here can either be okay or really bad because of all the customers going to get pho. You can either order thru the kiosk or with a worker there. Originally, we were placing our order and went to checkout just to have the entire order cancelled due to an item that was sold out.. (so best to order direct with the workers). Also I like that around 3pm we can still get dimsum! For two, we ordered: - 1 order of Sui Mai (3pcs): 4/5 - 1 order chicken feet: 3.5/5 - 1 order bbq pork rice noodle rolls: 2.5/5 - 1 order pan fried chives & shrimp dumplings (3pcs): 3/5 - 1 order taro buns (2pcs): 2/5 - 1 order large beef chow fun: 4.5/5 I enjoyed most of the dimsum items and actually like that all the items were still fairly warm when we arrived home to eat it. Most of these items are $5 each which are on the pricier end. I definitely would come back to try some of their other options especially the sold out items. read more

Located in a parking area with pho Kim long, their parking ớt is a NIGHTMARE. Never enough parking spot and is always packed. So if you get a chance to find parking, try out mr. Siumai. This place is quite small but you can order Togo as well. It has all of the most popular dishes that people usually order at dim sum. You can order ahead and pick up or order through the kiosk. There are two kiosk to order from so it might take awhile or it could be fast. After placing your order and paying, you sit down at a table with your order number and they bring it to you. It's a self service for getting your own plates, bowls, utensils and drinks like water or tea. So thought I'd put that out there. We ordered our usual to try like the porridge, yi Tao yu (yi cha quái), hả gạo, sủi mai, pan fried dumplings, and beef tripe. So delicious and do filling. read more

Yesterday visited the shop around 6:30 in the evening, no crowd, service OK. Ordered the barbecue pork and curry Siumai. The pork skin was hard, taste like it's not fresh and feel like the skin has been refried again. Shumai was 5.99 (3pcs) and BBQ pork was 13.99 (what you see in the picture). Feel like paying a regular price but actually getting a leftover food. BBQ pork is definitely not worth it . Anyways, just hope that the food is more fresh and tasty because the store is in the neighborhood, good food attracts more people. read more

Was very surprised to see Mr SiuMai occupy the old dim sum establishment that had been here forever. Kind of bittersweet but definitely intriguing to try something new. They have plenty of choices to pick from and you order at the large screens on the counter. They were fairly busy around noon and unfortunately ran out of their fresh soy milk by the time I arrived. I ended up ordering the crispy tofu skin with shrimp, bbq pork buns, beef chow fun, egg tarts, sesame balls with red bean, and their red bean buns all to go. I will say everything was pretty authentic. The beef chow fun contained enough pieces of beef and it wasn't chewy at all. The portion was also decent for the quality and price. I think their dim sum was a little more expensive than what I expected, around $6-7/plate, but still tasted good. The red bean buns were probably the most disappointing because it contained so little red bean paste (see picture). Will definitely be back to try some other dim sum options, and hopefully get to try their soy milk. read more

Came here to try it as I was craving for a baked bbq pork bun and though it looked good, the taste was underwhelming. The dough is tough and the filling was not flavorful. Also ordered the shrimp rice noodle roll, sticky rice in lotus leaf, Mr. Mala spicy SiuMai (pork & shrimp), premium shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp ball and steamed bun and all did not taste great. It was tough, rubbery, and didn't taste fresh. I did like the salted egg yolk bun filling, but the dough was not light and fluffy as it should be which made the overall experience just ok. It was definitely a small serving for the price. I do like that you can place an order yourself on a kiosk and it didn't take a long time to get my food and it is well lit inside the restaurant and had nice decor. I do not recommend going here for dim sum food. read more

Overall, good take-out dim sum. I think they did a good job remodeling this place as well as offering a tastier selection of food than the previous place in this location. The food is not as oily and the flavor is better overall. I also really like their branding. It's so cute! Mr. Siu Mai offers a good variety of dim-sum items, and they also sell frozen foods that you can buy home. Some items are definitely better than others. Out of all the items I tried, the one that disappointed me the most was the rice rolls because the dough was quite thick. I think Mr. Siu Mai is a good option for take-out dim sum if you don't want to go to a sit-down place. read more
