turnip cake
Aileen L.

My family arrived around 11:30am on a Sunday and the normal large crowd was waiting outside - we waited around 30 minutes to be seated. Saigon Seafood harbor is a classic dim sum spot in a banquet hall style setting and one of the few places where dimsum carts still get pushed around to order from. There are some dishes that aren't ont eh carts that you have to find someone to order from straight from the kitchen. They have most of the standard items and we got the siu mai, stuffed bean curd rolls, chicken feet, jellyfish and seaweed salad, shrimp rice roll, stuffed peppers, turnip cake, and black sesame buns. Everything is good, with the soup mai, bean curd rolls and stuffed peppers being the better dishes that we got in my opinion. There is a charge for tea for every person at the table as well. Classic, comforting dimsum with the old school experience of getting to pick your dishes straight from the carts. Not the cheapest or the most special dimsum but sometimes you just need a good old dimsum.

Fook kin rice custard tarts chicken feet bbq pork puff shrimp dumplings sui mai salt & pepper pork taro & meat dumpling & shrimp roll

For Mother's Day, we ordered fook kin rice, salt & pepper pork and dim sum to go. It was very busy. We called it in at 10:20 and food was going to be ready at 10:50. At 10:50, there was a huge crowd of people waiting to be seated, 30+ and 20+ orders to go. We did not get our order until after 12:10. They forgot our bbq pork buns. We called and they will credit our cc. Fook kin rice was good. Salt & pepper pork was a little soggy. Dim sum was okay. All of it was not hot and fresh. It was still good because it did not taste frozen or have msg. We think this is one of the better dim sum restaurants in the area.

Soggy :(

Pros: * The dim sum authentic and they push carts around. * The food comes out super quickly. Cons: * The place feels dirty. * Tea is weak and tastes like tap water. * One of the deep-fried dim sum was brought out COLD :( When we asked for it to be heated, they just stuck it in the microwave so it was soggy! This was a pretty bug turn off.

3.5 stars We decided to have an early lunch here after learning about the recent ownership change; my last visit was many years ago and it was not the best experience. The restaurant looked pretty much the same as I remembered. Arrived soon after they opened at 11, we were told to pick our table. The dim sum push cart came around very quickly after we were seated. We were not given the menu, just ordered dim sum items from the cart. We shared a total of 8 or 9 items; most of them were pretty tasty with decent ingredients. Shrimp dumpling - Large, the skin broke on some Siu-Mai - good / ok Tofu skin roll - one of our favorites Chicken feet - four large chicken feet, plump, tender and tasty. excellent Shrimp rice roll - good, portion is on the smaller side Steamed rice in lotus leaf - good Turnip cake - large pieces, texture is on the harder side Egg tart - very good Although I appreciate the dim sum push carts as it's more traditional but probably because the first batch of items sat for a while in the cart, they were not as hot as I'd like compared to 'cook to order' places. The restaurant filled up nicely around noon which is good to see, dishes from regular menu we saw on other tables looked interesting and served in good portions. Overall, we had an enjoyable lunch with good tasting food and friendly service, price is comparable to other restaurants in the area. Easy parking is a plus. Would like to come back and try the regular menu items.

Nice looking place. But you have to ask for a menu or go looking for one.

Decent dim sum, mediocre service in a nice enough atmosphere. When we were seated at our table, we thought the only way to get food was off the rolling carts. Whatever dim sum dishes were in the carts were good but the carts do not serve everything the restaurant actually has to offer. They never provided the menu with photos where you can indicate how many orders of each item to get and I didn't even see those menus until we paid and were leaving the restaurant. The menus were in a table near the cashier which we did not walk by when we were seated. The staff has limited English which was challenging for non-Chinese speakers. I can speak but nobody told us about the menu or other food options so we missed out on many things. Prices seem reasonable. Lots of parking in the front lot.

There was a wait to be seated, and some people were getting seated on shared tables as well. Once you finally get in, you order from the carts that they roll around the restaurant. Each cart has different dishes, and not everything on the menu is on these carts. I wanted the lava custard buns (lau sa bao) and I had to wait for a very very long time for them. Everytime I checked in they'd say it's almost coming out, and that's how they tricked me into waiting for so long at the restaurant. Prices were high, 3 people bill came out to be $80+

Golden Salted Egg Pumpkin Shrimp: Best dish of the night! Sweet pumpkin wrapped in a crispy shell infused with salted egg yolk aroma, plus big, crunchy fried shrimp inside ! I'm a huge fan of salted egg yolk so absolutely delicious and highly recommended! Their fried rice portions are huge and super tasty -- just look at the pictures! I even had enough leftovers to bring for lunch the next day. Highly recommend their black truffle fried rice!! We also ordered geoduck and stir-fried crab -- both very fresh! You can actually see the live seafood before they cook it in the kitchen. One thing that really touched me was there was one time when my boyfriend and I went just the two of us -- even though we were the only table that night, they still made a pot of soup just for us. So thoughtful

Fresh chicken coconut juice soup
Dianna W.

A dinner gathering with seven friends . We ordered one of the set dinner on the brochure. It was written in beautiful Chinese brush calligraphy with a poem next to the menu . We have ordered that for the table . The food were good and service was 5/5 . The restaurant has a nice ambience and the walls are beautifully decorated with different theme on each walls . Our set dinner had 6 different dishes : Peking duck with bao and sauce Stir fry fish filet with lotus roots Stir fry lobster in golden broth Fish tofu with mushrooms over green snow sprouts tips Giant size chicken and coconut soup freshly cooked on table top Eight treasures fried rice in clay pot . All these for $168 one set . Portions were generous and the tastes were great . Given a 5/5 star and everyone should come to try the food here !

Dim sum lunch is always crowded, regular service at dinner always has space because it is massive (the type of Chinese restaurant people have weddings at). Dim sum at lunch is good, although they sell out of deserts fast. Favorites are the ssiu mai and salted egg buns & pork wrapped in tofu skin. For dinner, their soup of the day is solid and I always have to get the chicken and snow pea greens in fish broth. Cant really go wrong with anything on the menu though. They can try to skimp out on the soup (order and medium and they give u a small) so watch for that! But otherwise pleasant and knowledgeable service.

Kris C.

The servers are on point. The food that comes round has great selection. I would suggest to come around 11am, that's when they start serving a lot of entrees versus dim-sum. I wish their Chilli oil was a little more spicy. It is a little on the pricier side then most dim sum, but I think the selection makes of for it, cause there so many to choose. Always happy leaving here!

Pork ribs are the best Wrapped Sticky Rice - many ingredients
Joyce T.

Dim sum served by the cart, this is great. We had siu mai (very flavorful), shrimp dumplings (the skin was too thick and the shrimp were lack of flavor). Crispy pork belly was great with the crispy skin and layers fat and meat. Steamed pork ribs were the best thing ever, flavorful and less bones, meat was tender and juicy I also had the coconut chicken soup, it's great. Mango pudding was just average

This restaurant serves dim sum and also Hongkong style dishes. I have been here couple times for dimsum and dinner. This restaurant used to be popular couple years a go. I remember we have to wait for table. This is one of dimsum place in bay area which still use cart and you can get the dimsum directly from the moving cart. Many bay area dimsum restaurant have stopped doing it for many years. The food is ok. The dimsum is good. Price wise I think is comparable with other dimsum place.

Dishonest pricing and terrible service! Watch your receipt. This was a ridiculous experience from start to finish. I'd give it zero stars if I could. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was nonexistent. The most frustrating part was the bill. They gave me the bill which comes out to $100.12 and I gave them my card. I then received the receipt and discovered they include a tip charge when they charged my card before I could even give them a tip. Let me tip you on my own terms....

We ended up being seated in the far back of the restaurant, right in front of the kitchen and where all the staff handle the plates. It is not a good location to be seated because it was loud at times from the clinking of the plates from the staff. The food came out instantly after we placed our order. It was super fresh and piping hot. We got a variety of dim sums and a beef chow fun. The dim sum is decent and comparable to other places I have eaten at. The ones that stood out were the beef rice rolls and pan fried chive and shrimp dumplings. Unfortunately, the beef chow fun was our least favorite because it lacked flavor. Some of the staff are kind of rude too. I asked for our tea because it was taking a long time to arrive and she glared at me and didn't give me a response. Also, when it came time for the bill, one of the staff lingered around our table to watch us tip. Parking can be difficult as they have a small lot. By the time we arrived past 1pm, it was completely filled and we just so happened to get lucky with one empty spot remaining.

The restaurant wasn't too big, and it was pretty noisy inside. Decor and service was typical of a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. Their tea was more diluted than other places, though. The tea pot design was pretty bad that no matter how careful I tried to pour the tea, I got tea leaking all over. It's good that they had a disposable plastic cover on top of the table cloth. We ordered our dim sum off a sheet, but they also brought out quite a lot of specials on trays, and there's a sweet tofu cart being pushed around as well. The dim sum themselves were just mediocre, and not very flavorful. The Peking Duck special only came with 4 pieces of thick bun with one or 2 pieces of duck inside. The duck was chewy and not authentic Peking duck. Our daughter liked it, though. The Chinese Broccoli was cooked well, but the oyster sauce was pretty low quality and very salty. The Soy Sauce Chow Mein was very dry, which was better than oily, but lacked flavor. The Deep Fried Taro was kind of bland. Part of the head of the Mango Pudding fish fell onto the floor as the server was setting the plate on our table. Taste was normal, as were the Steamed BBQ Pork Buns. The beef inside the Beef Rice Noodle Roll had chewy bits of connective tissue. We're all disappointed with their food quality and would rather go to a different dim sum place next time.

Parking was fairly easy with tons of parking spots in the plaza and inside the restaurant was a more to-go style spot but there are some seats for you to enjoy your meal. The overall ambience of the spot was quiet and cozy. Service was very quick and they were able to take our orders quickly. I noticed even with more people coming in, they took orders quick and were able to serve them almost instantly. It looks like they take catering as well. My hubby and I got an order of the siu mai ($6.15 for 3 pieces), har gow ($6.15 for 3), BBQ pork bun (~$3 for 1), and the black bean spare beans ($6.15). Prices were fairly decent and the portion sizes were fairly big! The siu mai was a bit sweeter than I normally like, but I liked the size of them. Har gow was fresh (it did come out 5-10 mins after we sat down) and was actually very plump and the skin was easy to eat (most places the skin falls apart). BBQ pork bun was also very good - can't go wrong with a simple bun. Black bean spare-ribs were just OK, definitely could be better as it felt too garlicky and most of it was fat. I am deducting a star mostly due to the food not being as hot. Since we were able to eat right away, we were hoping the food would be fresh/hot but the siu mai and spare-ribs were just very lukewarm. I would most likely come back but bring home our items to microwave and enjoy at home.

Dim sum favorites include their spare ribs, chicken feet, pork football. The best part is that everything is sold by piece so one can mix and match. They also have a good variety of hot entrees including salt and pepper fish, garlic string beans. They have various promotions, including a discount for paying cash.
