It was moderately busy but there were still plenty of open seats. We ordered the spicy pepper fried chicken wings and egg and shrimp chow fun. The food came out less than 5 minutes after placing our order! The chicken wings were hot and very crispy. The meat was tender and fell right off the bone. The chow fun portion was massive! The noodles were chewy and seasoned very well. During our meal, one of the servers walked around offering free plates of duck neck. It was served chilled and had a deep spice flavor. I highly recommend eating here!

The beef chunks were cooked to absolute perfection--incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the noodles had that ideal chewy texture that soaked up the broth beautifully. Beyond the delicious food, the customer service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff greeted us warmly, provided prompt service, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The dining area was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, creating a relaxed ambiance. Overall, it was a truly satisfying meal, and I will definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommended to all noodle lovers!

That's unusual for my girls and I was so happy they ate! I put away the dumplings & green beans. There were plenty leftovers for the next day lunch. The food was a touch salty. However, not enough to be deterred from going back. Small and yet spacious place. The 4 stars is simply because my go to dumpling place cannot be beat. Altho I'd rather eat here for the wonderful servers & ambiance compared to dingy Dumpling Capitol. We were stuffed and not able to indulge in the dessert dumplings. The ube & chocolate combo sounds fantastic. I will make it a point to save room the next time we hit up San Pedro square and sap center!

If you're going to be paying $60-$70 for two people, you would at least expect your food not to be burnt and the staff not be rude! I have been looking forward to going to this place for two years, it was a birthday dinner and I was so disappointed by my experience. I understand that it's downtown San Jose and we came in the evening, so maybe that's just how closing staff is. First off when we were seated, I asked to be moved to a more comfortable's table because the chairs were really uncomfortable for me. The staff seemed irritated and said "I guess" which was the first red flag because it's nerve-racking enough to ask for a special request and to be met with an unprofessional answer like that was disheartening. Secondly, two orders of dumplings came out burnt, which was seriously disappointing. We could barely eat them. We didn't end up finishing them. I brought this up to staff. He told me they weren't burnt and that's just how they are. I know the difference between burnt and browned and these were definitely burnt hard on the bottom and inedible. He begrudgingly told me well "I'm sorry but you'd still would have to pay for another order". I don't think that's fair at all so I said "it's fine were ok" I don't wanna give this company any more of my money anyway if this is how they treat their customers. Lastly, once we were done with our food and paid the check, the man came back to our table and asked us if there was anything he could do for us and how if we enjoyed our meal this felt like a slap in the face after everything I've already asked of him that he refused and denied and being met with a disingenuous offer just felt petty. All in all, I wouldn't go here if you're looking for food that is not burnt Service that is helpful and hospitable. Andexperience that is anything above fast casual dining.

Long communal table down the center of the restaurant.

Younger staff nowadays and they speak English. I had to order the classics. Mi kho dau hao, dried noodles with oyster sauce, and it came with a side of pork bone broth. This hit the spot for comfort and was filling. Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang, rice noodles and egg noodles in soup with shrimp dumpling. This was good although I prefer thinner rice noodles.

First time I've personally visited Evergreen Panda and I ain't mad…read more My sister and cousin have been returning customers from time to time and with our fam planning a movie night screening of Toy Story 5, we wanted eats that wouldn't require any utensils. Due to my family being a big fan of EP's salt & pepper shrimp so we decided to go with the [very Tik Tok famous] salt & pepper chicken wings. First and foremost, don't even bother trying to call in and place your orders. The staff leaves the line off the hook leaving you with a busy tone FOREVER!!!!!!!!! I kid you not, we made multiple attempts within the span of a couple of hours and each time it was the same. Make the drive, stand in the long line, and verbally place your orders. The parking situation wasn't too bad but the flow of traffic at Evergreen Panda is soooo real. Come patient or go elsewhere. Known primarily for being a Chinese take-out joint, this eatery layout it basic as it comes. You will find a few tables along both sides and the center left bare to house the large crowds standing around to place orders. Food is cooked to each order, ensuring your food to be piping hot. Portions are hefty, food is good, and you aren't spending an arm and a leg. Customer service is hit or miss but try not to take it personally. Come for the food and take the sass on the side as a little bit of entertainment. 4 Stars! The chicken was delicious- crispy, moist, and flavorful. With that said, the seasoning was inconsistent since some wings were left a lot saltier than others. Nothing a nice heaping of rice won't fix. I'd definitely come back.

Lots of grilled onions and jalapeños on the crispy wings. Salt and pepper fish is very similar but with fried fish if you prefer fish. I got the walnut shrimp and it is on the citrus side but still solid. Crispy as well. The HK style chowmein had good gravy sauce on it and went well with the crispy noodles. Good portions here. Service may seem rude but gets everything done. Restaurant waiting area was hot inside.

Known for the chicken wings, yes, but try more. You may eat like a king or queen with just a few orders, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the best Chinese cuisine I've ever sampled. Great service too: fast and friendly.

It has a noticeable orange tang to the sauce that sets it apart from other bases I've had. While I didn't get much wok hei from this plate, the ingredients were solid. The vegetable mix included bell peppers, zucchini, and garlic. The peanuts weren't deeply roasted, but they still provided a good, necessary crunch to balance out the wetter sauce. I was pretty disappointed with the amount of chicken I got this time but that wasn't the case last time I came. The standout here is really the super good value for the lunch combo. The combo comes loaded with rice, broccoli, and wonton chips, making it a very complete meal for the price. Verdict: If you like a saucier, citrus-forward Kung Pao with some decent heat and great side portions, Home Eat is a strong value play in the South Bay.

Not the same Mayflower that I went to growing up but this place did NOT disappoint…read more We were in the mood for dim sum on the way to the T&T grocery store opening and yelp brought us here. We walked in right at opening to a completely empty dining room. Instead of leaving, we browsed the menu and ordered XLB, pot stickers, jelly fish, and pea sprouts (my personal fav) so glad we didn't leave! The XLB are a nice size, with each precious dumpling cradled in its own foil wrapper for maximum soup retention. The potstickers were full of flavor, packed with protein, delicately wrapped, and had the crispiest, golden bottoms! Jelly fish was fresh and the pea sprouts were a hit! The poor owner answering the phones made sure (in all languages) to inform folks calling in that there were a different May Flower than the other place-felt terrible for her but also understood the importance of differentiating right up front. I can only imagine the number of misorders they have probably dealt with. By the time we were done, the dining room was filled with a mix of what seemed like regulars, locals, large groups of families, small groups of friends... this feels like we stumbled upon a tiny hole in the wall restaurant where everyone who has been before just knows the quality and taste they are going to be getting! Highly recommend you check this place out for a dine in or take out order!

This is one of the handful of American Chinese restaurants that stood the test of time. As is typical of these places, there was an old lady manning the counter and also acting as the server. And as is typical of these places, there was table at the end where they were prepping the fruits and veggies. It's truly remarkable how they are all similar in these ways! We got a couple of dishes and they came out at lightning speed. * Chowmein-3/5- delicious with lots of umami flavor but shockingly greasy. I mean I am used to oily noodles but this one exceeded some limits. *crispy salt and pepper eggplant-3/5- I had a stellar version of this dish at another restaurant in Sunnyvale and was stoked when I saw this on the menu here. Unfortunately it was a poor representation of the dish I loved there. The batter was too much and the dish felt heavy. The hot oil or sauce they had felt old and extremely vinegary as well, I would recommend avoiding it.
