Bookmarked on my wish list for awhile, but this weekend was the opportunity to dine in. Our mom wanted dim sum to celebrate Mother's Day, so our family came 1 day early. We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later. read more

This is my go-to spot for friend gatherings for dim sum, mainly because my best friend love their black sesame egg custard buns. Ironically, I'm not a fan of them myself--they're a bit too eggy for my taste. When it comes to dim sum quality and service, I honestly prefer Koi Palace. The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience. read more

You know... I just think they fell short of being really good. They're okay for dim sum-- acceptable, but doesn't hit the spot, you know? If you've traveled internationally, and you've also been to places like Hawaii, then this place is just average. To note: I'm not sure if they take reservations, but you may want to check on that if you decide to go, because we had to wait quite a bit before they could seat us. As for parking, they have ample off-street parking that's free. read more

Decided to try out a new dim sum spot from the normal go-to. Two of us ordered: tea $2/pp fried taro dumpling $7.60, came pretty late mango pomelo sago $7.60, needed more sago siu mai $7.60 chicken feet $7.60 chinese tender green $17.60 deep fried pumpkin with salty egg yolk $12.60 Definitely on the pricier end. $18 for greens is a bit criminal. Pumpkin was a bit tasteless. No salted egg yolk flavor. Definitely nicer ambiance inside than other places. Plus that there's TVs so they may be playing sports when timing lines up! Parking lot onsite. read more

Food: dim sum and lunch dishes were made when ordered so it came out warm. They were not sitting in a cart for a long time like some other places. Food were fresh and no msg! Service: a bit understaffed and slow. The restaurant were 80% full but there were only 3 wait staff managing all. read more

My husband I pass by this place all the time. It took us 3 years to finally try it. Parking lot was packed. Luckily, we only had to drive around once to find parking. We now know we can join the waitlist on Yelp, so noting that for next time. We got dim sum. It is pricy but it's the quality. Everything was really good. Our favorite dim sum in order: 1. Fried eggplant with pepper and garlic tofu 2. Truffle Scallop Dumpling 3. BBQ Pork Puff Pastry 4. Fried Taro Dumpling 5. Sichuan chili oil chicken 6. Fried Salty Dumpling 7. Siu Mai 8. Spare Ribs They charged $2 per person for tea. My husband read somewhere if you pay cash there is a discount. It is inaccurate. I paid cash and I didn't get a discount. It was really busy inside but the wait food wasn't that long. It didn't seem too loud either. read more

Came here for my cousin's birthday, but this was actually my second time here. The first time I came here was during the first year they opened and during brunch for dim sum. We ordered asahi beer, fried rice, sea bass, chicken feet, salt & petter prawns, hot & sour soup, and roasted pork belly. The asahi beer we ordered was fine, but we felt like we got the end of the draft keg or something because it was pretty bitter. I didn't mind the taste because I usually drink Heineken, but my boyfriend couldn't finish his beer by end of the meal. The first items to come out was the hot & sour soup, roasted pork belly and the chicken feet. I loved the hot & sour soup, but all the guys said it was way too sour than usual for them. The roasted pork belly wasn't as tender or fatty compared to other places we usually eat from. I do like that at least it came with hoisin sauce because although the pieces are in chunks, it could get overwhelming to consume. The chicken feet definitely had the black bean flavor, but could've been more flavorful. For some reason, it looked like the chicken feet is cut in half here when eating it. The salt & pepper prawns were decent. We wished that it came with sauce because it became too dry to eat overtime. The egg fried rice was surprisingly pretty good and a great addition to the sea bass we ordered. They were probably my favorite dishes along with the hot & sour soup. Glad I got to try this restaurant again years later. I feel like there are so many dim sum and Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, so it all comes down to democracy preferences and votes when eating out. read more

I've been noticing Sifu Wong Kitchen, which serves Cantonese and dim sum dishes, every time I pass by. The restaurant is located on the right wing, separate from the Ramada Hotel if you're facing it from the street. It's an older building, so it could use a facelift, but I wouldn't say it looks sketchy, contrary to some reviews. My partner and I were seated promptly on a Saturday evening. The staff was attentive and friendly. The place was steady but not full. The menu is well-organized with clear, high-resolution pictures. We ordered a few dim sum items from a separate paper menu and some other dishes from the main menu. FOOD - Siu Mai - BBQ Pork Buns (steamed) - Chinese Broccoli - Crispy Walnut Shrimp - Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice All dishes were well-prepared and tasty. The portions were generous and reasonable for the price. We left with plenty of leftovers because we over-ordered, craving a variety of dishes. Overall, I plan to return and try more items from the menu. read more

Not sure what the hype is about. Below average Chinese food. Grand dynasty is way better.

I finally got the chance to try Sifu Wong for lunch. I dropped in and added myself to the waiting list. Barely 4 minutes passed and my table of 2 was called. Hostess gives you the menu and the dim sum checklist. When my friend arrived, we started placing our orders. We ordered crunchy pork bun, turnip cake, beef long noodle, lobster e-fu noodle and Siu Mai. Crunchy bun was different. The top was crunchy but not sweet. There wasn't any flavor I tasted from the turnip cake and it was dry instead of steamy. Siu Mai was meaty and a mouthful. I didn't get any strong flavor off it like I do at other dim sum places. Beef long noodle had a light taste and the noodle sheet was thin but looks are deceiving. When I bit into it, the sheet was just right and not really light to eat. The lobster was well-presented on the dish on top of the e-fu noodles. I didn't get much of a taste off the lobster but it was at least well cooked and the meat was juicy. The noodles tasted more like a pasta than a Chinese dish. It reminds me of seafood pasta. I would rate the restaurant a 4 for the cleanliness, modern design and food. read more

Hosted a larger dim sum lunch with my in laws and my parents who are big on Chinese food and they were impressed by the food! They exclaimed that every dish we ordered was delicious. Service was also pretty helpful. Ambiance is just so so as it's located in a hotel off the freeway and the parking lot was looking a little sketchy at first. That said it's easy to overlook that with such delicious food read more

Heard that they have overhauled their kitchen staff and decided to give their dinner a try to see what new dishes they have. We were seated at the bar area which was nice and bright with a big screen TV. We pre-ordered a Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken 脆皮糯米雞 and took the waiter's recommendation for the rest: Fish Maw, Wonton, and Chicken in a Clay Pot 沙鍋花膠雲吞雞, Black Pepper Beef Short Rib 黑椒牛仔骨, Braised Black Cod with Shiitake Mushrooms and Roast Pork Belly 火腩冬菇黑鱈魚, and a Deluxe Vegetarian Dish 榆耳黃耳雞髀菇。 Food was delicious! The stuffed chicken was a free range chicken and was really crispy on the outside. The sticky rice was perfectly cooked and was yummy. The wonton clay pot was really good and it was a great value. There were six big pieces of fish maw and the wontons were very well made. The chicken was tender and tasty. The vegetarian dish was excellent with the fancy fungus. The black cod was tender and tasty. The beef short rib was very nicely presented with a big piece of bone. The only thing about it was that it was premade and it could be tasted. Our server Bailey was excellent. He's very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave excellent recommendations. He's friendly and hard working, and provided attentive service. We were given really nice complimentary desserts: Baked Tapioca Pudding and Fried Mochi. Overall it was an excellent meal and prices were reasonable for the quality of food. read more

My favorite dim sum spot in the South Bay! This is a legit Hong Kong / Cantonese dim sum restaurant. They put a lot of care into each item. Nothing feels too greasy or heavy. Easy to order via pencil and paper menus, no carts here. Surprisingly short wait even on a Sunday afternoon, as it's a very large restaurant with lots of seating. Some of my favorite items - egg tarts, beef tripe, taro puff, salted fish & chicken fried rice, lotus leaf sticky rice, and HK style hot milk tea. Decent sized parking lot but you may need to get lucky sometimes to find a spot. read more

Although you don't get Dim Sum Cart Ladies strolling around with steaming hot dim sum to pick from, you order from a dim sum order form what you want and they quickly bring it out. I've been here several times now, and it has been consistently amazing each time. ALSO, if you dine in and leave by 11:30am, you get 10% off on the weekend...my kinda deal! All my favorite dim sum options tasted great. My only complaint is they ration out their chili oil and soy sauce and bring teeny dipping tray and you have to keep asking for more. I prefer having the condiments at the table for self service. We also ordered the Hong Kong style combination crispy noodles and it was super excellent. I can't wait to come back here to try dinner options. read more

Sifu Wong is one of the better dim sum spots in the area! I've tried quite a few around here, and none really compare in terms of flavor and quality. It's a little on the pricier side, but worth it for how consistently good everything is. Even their non-dim sum dishes during dinner are solid. Like most dim sum places nowadays, they no longer roll carts around -- you order from a paper menu instead. We always go for the classics: shu mai, har gow, shrimp rice rolls, fried salty dumplings, pan-fried chive dumplings, pan-fried radish cake, and spareribs. We've also had the crunchy nest purple rice roll, sticky rice in lotus leaf, gai lan, and some of their desserts. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. My go-to tea is the pu-erh and it pairs perfectly with all the dishes! Service is alright -- on par with most dim sum spots: quick, efficient, and to the point. It can definitely get crowded during peak lunch hours on weekends, so plan accordingly or go early if you can. Great food, reliable quality, and one of my go-to dim sum spots in the South Bay! read more

Very lovely and classic dim sum spot in San Jose. We really enjoyed most of the things we had here although I would say some of our dumplings, the soup dumplings and har gow came out cold or not as warm as I wanted them to be but honestly, they were delicious. The winner was the crispy top pork bun, which rivalled one of the better ones I've ever had, but still not very tough for me because that one's hard to beat. Overall have the variety here it's awesome and the environment is really cool to be in. Service is great and food came out fast would come again. read more

As far as we are concerned, Sifu Wong is one of the best dim sum places in the South Bay, There are many unique dim sum dishes on their menu that you can't find in other dim sum places around here. Not only do the food taste good, the quality of their dim sum are also top notch. Inside the restaurant is very spacious, their staff is pretty quick, above average dim sum restaurant standards, we come here whenever we feeling to get some dim sum or we treat our friends here and we know we will have a great time here. read more

We came for my son's birthday dinner at 6 pm. It wasn't bad. There were two other big parties and 5 other tables with couples. We had 6 people total. We were seated at a nice big table. 2 were late but they seated us anyway. We got a pot of tea, ice water and hot water. I ordered but asked that they wait for the other two to arrive before cooking and they arrived 20 minutes later. They served the pumpkin & prawn in salty egg sauce with egg tofu as soon as the rest of our party arrived. They could have been so good but they were mostly warm but hard and dried. The Peking duck was served next. We ordered half. It was pretty good. Skin was crisp and fat. My son liked the taste of the Hokkien Fried Rice. The pineapple sweet and sour pork had big chunks. The smoked marinated fillet of sea bass was pretty good with a side of mayo. The skin was a bit fatty and stuck to the plate. We also had the braised tofu, not bad, HK style pan fried crispy egg noodle with chicken. They were out of pork. It was the thicker noodles with the sauce. Broccoli beef was good. Food came out fast. They did not have fried oysters. Overall food was ok to good. It did not have a "wow" factor for any of the dishes that I have to come back for. Maybe I didn't order the right ones. It was a good size restaurant. It's not crowded and super busy like during dim sum. Wait staff were nice & polite. I would come back but I would like to try some of the other upscale Chinese restaurants in the area too for dinner. I've come for dim sum and it is very good. read more

Get their special pre order dishes! They are good, just need to plan ahead and ask what they have and pre order a few days ahead. Wont be disappointed! The latest is mapo tofu with lobster or sea cucumber. We didn't get to try it this time but looks very fresh and tempting. Service is from some very experienced waiters in the Cantonese food industry for a long time, they are very friendly and caring. We tried the salt and pepper squid, boneless duck steamed with seafood, "gold and silver" fried rice, baked sea bass, snow pea shoots with white fungus are all very good and fresh! The coconut with black silk chicken soup is heavenly; the snow fungi with papaya dessert soup as well as the fried mochi ball dessert are super yummy. read more

Yes to the traditional banquet items and no to the dim sum items. We loved the Peking styled duck! Dim sum we have found to have broken outer shells , the xiao long bao is particularly bad that it essentially got stuck to the foil and then breaks apart to reveal a soggy bottom. Ambiance feels like it tries to be a fancy location but the I do wish the location feels more clean (especially the flooring) so I could feel proud and relaxed to bring guests here. read more

We came 10 min before the place opened and there was a line already! We got seated right away as the restaurant is rather big. Had we came 30 min after they opened, then we would've been the second wave of diners who needed to wait. We ordered a handful of different dim sum dishes and most were tasty. The traditional dim sum items, such as XLB and suimai, were okay and didn't stand out as a wow factor much. Other not-as-traditional items, such as fried chicken wings, lava buns, pineapple buns, and roasted duck, were quite tasty! The servers were attentive and efficient. There weren't any aunties with the dim sum carts here, but they did use the carts to deliver dishes when our foods were ready. There were outside seatings too, but the back area was not available at the time. read more

In town for a quick business trip and wanted some good Chinese. They had great reviews and we went in at a late lunch but within an hour to spare before they closed it's a little off the beaten path, but well worth it. The service is a little slow here and that's the reason for the drop in one star. It was a good 10 minutes before anybody even came to our table and then they were a little short with us during the whole experience, but that's to be expected. The food here is spot on amazing, fresh and great flavors. We both finished all of our dishes and loved every bite. read more

Amazing foods with nice ambience. I highly recommend this place for a nice brunch with your people. It's perfect for work or personal conversation, not too loud nor too quiet to make you feel uncomfortable inside. They're quite packed for lunch even a weekday, when we came. The foods were great and made you feel full quickly. The only downside is once you placed your first order and the foods arrived, the servers were almost impossible to catch. We wanted to order some more after our first round but they were all busy or not paying attention so we ended up not ordering more. However, I would definitely come back for the foods!!! read more

I've been to Sifu Wong Kitchen before, but unfortunately this time they served us sour soup dumplings with the wrapping completely stuck on the foil.

I would be careful coming here as their food is not consistent. My buddy got sick right after. read more

Very high marks for dim sum. Service was very friendly for a busy dim sum place. 4.9/5: Crispy Top BBQ Pork bun $8.60. Filling is good. The bun is spectacular; super flakey/buttery/crispy. 4.7/5: Sugar coated Hong kong egg puffs $7.60. Almost as good as the ones at Cooking Cooking. 4.6/5: Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun $8.60. A little over-hyped, but good enough. 4.0/5: Lychee shrimp balls $8.60. Great texture, but very mild flavor. Comes with spicy mayo. Worth trying once. 3.8/5: Har Gaw $8.60. wrapper is mushy and falls apart. filling is too salty and not plump/juicy. Dim Sum King is better. Skip. They have a $20 dim sum + entree lunch special that is a good deal if you go here solo for lunch. read more

Oh man, what a bad visit to Sifu Wong. Quality and consistency is way worse than previous visits. We got Har Gow that wasn't cooked thoroughly, the roast pork belly had souring meat, the beef tripe was overly soft and soggy, the rice rolls with fried doughnut was soggy and the Siu Mai was dry and crusty. The additional star was for service. At least they offered to recook the har gow. Sorry, but not gonna be back. Best of luck. Hope others have better experiences. read more

A solid choice for dim sum on the peninsula! Overall, it's a bit on the pricier side, but super convenient! The classics are all done well. The service was good, you mark your order on a paper slip and the food comes out at a good pace after. Their Fried Shrimp Balls were fun. They look like little lychee and have a nice crunch and texture. The Molten Lava Buns were pretty standard, charcoal-black exterior gives them a cool look and aesthetic. read more

We were in the area and craving a good fried rice so we stopped by here and were seated right away around 6 PM. My first impression was wow this place is huge. Looks good for dim sum lunches and the service was also decent. * Xiao Long Bao - 5/5 stars. It's decent, tastes like your typical XLB but it's not WOW. I'd still order it anyways because it's a nostalgic dish to me. * Yeung Chow Fried Rice - 2/5 stars. There wasn't any flavor to the fried rice, it just tasted like oil and rice. Not enough salt but it did have a lot of smokey flavor from the wok. Overall 3/5 stars. Not likely to return unless I'm in the area and craving Chinese food. read more

I came around 11:30 on Sunday and we got immediately sat as we were just two people. We ended up leaving around 12:30ish and there was a decent wait of people lined up. My partner and I ordered har gow, chinese broccoli, chow fun, fried taro dumplings, and a shrimp rice roll. The food was definitely good, but I felt like it was missing something for me that would have made it perfect. The best thing for me was definitely the fried taro dumpling! The outside had a nice subtle crunch that was the perfect contrast to the soft filling. Definitely would get this again! The only issue I have (that isn't an issue with the service or food) is that because the interior didn't have any windows and the ceiling was black, it seemed very dark and uninviting here. Maybe it's different in other parts of the restaurant, but that was the vibe at the table near the entrance. read more

Sifu Wong Kitchen - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Pretty good!! Came here a couple of times already but never wrote a review for this place. I would come here if you are with your family and you guys are looking to order family style as each dish that comes is a good portion. I've only came here for dimsum once and the rest of the time I dined here for dinner and again everything is shareable. At night they also keep several dimsum to be orderable, a must order for me here is the custard buns. The dimsum at night is quite expensive $9 per order (not sure if its priced differently in the day) I don't think there were really any standout dishes, everything is good though. Overall, would come here with a big party, and if you're lazy, you can also order family set meals. read more

Went today with a group of friends. Same thing. Seems like this place has hit or miss, some dishes are good. Some dishes are not. No good -Egg white fried rice with dry scallop - rice stuck together, too wet -Clams with black bean sauce - strong seafood ocean taste. They didn't wash well. -Bbq pork - bit dry. Not juicy. Good -Beijing duck - good -Veggie thing -Seafood thing -Lobster noodle - good but ran out of e noodle. They also ran out of crispy pork and one of the other soups . this is a Monday night, not even a weekend . They need to be more consistent. It was a super busy day, but still no excuses. Maybe I should just not come during the week of Chinese new year. read more

This was first visit to this restaurant. We believed that this must be a good Chinese restaurant because we saw 90% of the guests were Asian. Unfortunately, it was not like what we thought... we probably didn't get the right dishes of the restaurant... The crispy chicken was dry although we liked its crispy skin. Then other dish - Vegetarian deluxe... its red sauce tasted weird. It was difficult to describe the taste... its ingredients were good (mushrooms, oyster mushroom, tofu, baby corns, bok choy...) but the sauce ruined the dish. We wished it was just simply stir-fried. The worst thing was a cabbage caterpillar was found in this veggie dish. I told to two staff about the caterpillar. One didn't say anything and walked away. The other one said "sorry" and walked away. Except these, the restaurant was spacious, the service was fair, the rice was good, the food came quickly. It served free cookies and dessert after the meal. We still left decent tip. We are not sure if coming to the restaurant again. read more

Pretty fast service! Things didn't come out all at once but a mostly consistent trickle. We got there before 12 and there was no wait, but there was a waitlist going by the time we finished. The menu has a lot of traditional dishes, and then some more creative ones - like lychee shrimp balls (hint: there's a literal lychee inside). I really liked the egg yolk custard buns and chicken feet. I tried their hk milk tea as well and it was on the less sweet side. They have lots of big tables with lazy susans for groups, and a big parking lot! read more
