Upping from 3 to 4 stars. Food was great. Fried rice still my favorite but the pork belly was close second. Chashu bao and har how are pretty standard, but good. Prawn rolls not my thing but not bad. Food's great but the service is still kind of slow.
Visited again, this time with a bigger group, which allowed us to try a lot more of the menu. We started with the Tri-Color Platter (Octopus, Jelly Fish & Green Seaweed Salad), which made for a great, refreshing starter. Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Roll, and Steamed Sparerib, all were good as usual. Half Peking Duck was a highlight, love the perfectly thin and crispy skin. Fried E-Fu Noodle with Lobster - the lobster is fresh and huge, great flavor without being overly salty nor greasy. Black Pepper Beef Fillet with Assorted Mushroom, I like the tender beef and the mushrooms were well seasoned. Sautéed Chinese Broccoli (kailan) with Dried Flounder Flake, the flavor was good, but the kailan stems were cut too large, difficult to eat. We finished with satisfying desserts, Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun was excellent with the lava effect. Mango Pomelo Sago was awesome, and the Snow Lotus Seed Peach Resin was really good and not too sweet. Everyone was full and happy.
This is our designated place for large-group gatherings. We've befriended the owner and some of the staff, so service was top notch. In general, their dim sum was better than dinner, but tonight's dishes are worth mentioning. The good: 1. steamed lobster with rice vermicelli: good flavor and fresh lobster. All lobster pieces were cut open, making it easy to eat. 2. beef steak with broccoli: the beef was so soft! The 0.5cm thickness makes it perfect size to bite down. 3. BBQ plate: loads of goodies, with my favorite cha siu, jelly fish, and pork belly cubes. 4. Soup with morel and chicken. Loads of morels! Could use a bit more salt but it's not that big a deal. The ones that could be improved: 1. small silver fish fried with egg yolk coating: a bit chewy, but good flavor. 2. sea cucumber stuffed with shrimp paste: indeed a hard to make dish at home, so we were all excited. But the sea cucumber was not well flavored; instead, it tasted quite fishy and earthy. Too bad this expensive dish was only half consumed. The bean sprouts at the bottom were a lot more desirable. 3. salt pepper chicken: it was seasoned with salt and pepper powder, but not cooked with salt at the pan, so the chicken lacks the heat and dryness from salt. At the night, a wedding reception was in place, but we were able to seat at the next room and enjoyed our noisy and loud cheers.
We decided to try this dm sum place in Sunnyvale, located just off of 101 and Lawrence Expressway. It seems to be a well-liked place, as the tables were all filled within the first hour of opening. First of all, I agree with the previous reviews here stating that it is a hit or miss. We ordered a variety of items on our visit. Some were really tasty, others were merely "meh." The hits were Peking Duck (flavorful and tender meat) - I appreciate the addition of sliced cucumber sticks to the regular thin-sliced onions and sauce; the cucumbers added a delightful change of texture), the Salt & Pepper Sole w/ Black Bean sauce (large, flavorful and tender pieces of fish, onions that were cooked slightly longer to bring out their inherent sweetness), and the steamed broccoli (again, slightly longer cooking to bring out the flavor). What surprisingly did not work was the dim sum, as well as the chrysanthemum tea and rice. And the one thing that ruined what probably would have been some very tasty food was the strong taste of chlorine! This informs me that the water they use to steam and cook is water from the tap that is not filtered. I took one iOS of the chrysanthemum tea, relishing the what I thought was the strong chrysanthemum flavor, but after a few seconds it was apparent that the water was chlorinated. (I do not recommend ordering any tea or water here.) The steamed dim sum had the chlorinated smell and taste, as well as the rice, too! It is too bad, though, that the main flavor throughout was chlorine. I really lost my appetite for the rest of the meal. Regarding the order in which they bring out the food, they start from the top and proceed down the order list. I ordered rice, but it was down towards the bottom of the list, and it was the very last thing to arrive - after having eaten everything else we ordered above it! What a waste of rice! (Well, it smelled like chlorine, too, . . .). Before the wait person takes down your order, I highly suggest ordering the items you would like first, followed by everything else. If Sufu Wong Kitchen decides to invest in a quality water filtration system as other fine restaurants have (quite an expense, I will add), I am sure that the food will be so much more tasty and enjoyable (maybe even garnering another star or two . . .)
Had high expectations coming here but was a bit disappointed. Decent dim sum but nothing special. The chicken feet had great color and texture but the flavor was a bit bland. The siu mai didn't seem fresh as it was a little sour and the texture was hard (not scrumptious), ties went for both the pork and the shrimp inside. The lava bun did not 流, was more like a custard texture rather than melty and runny. The bbq pork puff pastry wasn't very flaky at all. The bean cured with pumpkin dish was rather interesting from the sounds of it so we got it, but it was super bland overall. The shrimp rice noodle was ok: scrumptious shrimp but the rice noodle itself was not as thin and smooth as it could be. My favorite dish was the stuffed eggplant of everything we ordered.
Sifu Wong Kitchen is a really solid addition to the South Bay dim sum scene. It's tucked inside the Ramada Hotel in Sunnyvale, and the setup is surprisingly nice--clean banquet seating, way less cramped than your usual dim sum spots, and they have huge TVs all over the place. We actually watched the World Cup final here and the atmosphere was awesome. The dim sum is traditional Hong Kong style, and the quality is definitely there. You definitely need to get the Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Buns. They look cool with the black and gold style, and the molten salted egg yolk center is perfectly rich without being overly sweet. The Lychee Shrimp Balls are super unique too; they look exactly like real lychees on the outside but are stuffed with a snappy shrimp paste that isn't greasy at all. For the classic stuff, the Har Gaw and Siu Mai hit the spot--the skins hold up well without tearing and the pieces are nice and plump. The Baked BBQ Pork Buns are also great, with that crispy, sweet polo-style topping and a good amount of savory pork filling inside. Service can be a little slow on busy weekends since the place gets packed with families, but the staff keeps the kitchen moving as fast as they can. If you want high-quality Cantonese comfort food, excellent dim sum, and a great space to catch a game, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
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.
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.
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.
It's been a few years since my review and everything is as good as I remember with great service and delicious Cantonese food. The restaurant is connected to a hotel and it is large, clean and spacious. We were here for a banquet in a private room and I enjoyed all the dishes. My favorites were the Peking Duck, sautéed geoduck and steamed fish. So good!
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.
Came in today for a late lunch and had such an incredible experience. There was a short wait. The restaurant seemed pretty busy but we were seated promptly at the bar. Our server Bailey was very knowledgeable and helped us pick out the dishes we ordered. We tried the roasted duck, the salty egg yolk buns, the crispy rice balls with black sesame, and the shrimp dumplings. The roasted duck was impeccable - the skin was crispy and the glaze was very tasty. The egg yolk buns were definitely my favorite, not too sweet, and beautiful with some gold foil on top. The shrimp dumplings were also great and had a good amount of shrimp inside of them. The crispy rice balls with black sesame were unlike anything I had tried before! The outside is made of rice flour and crispy rice. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and food at this place! I highly recommend!

Usually come here when I'm with a big group, and it's always been a solid spot for dim sum. The food is good, the service is fast, and the restaurant is clean. One tip: I usually try to get here by 11 AM or earlier to beat the rush. By the time I leave - usually around noon, there's almost always a big line out the door. This visit was a little different because the food seemed a little greasier than usual. That said, I still really like this place and will definitely be back. One off experience won't keep me away, especially with all the other things they consistently do well. read more
I think I was a little too harsh with my 4-star review last time, haha! Came back after a long hiatus and everything was good as usual. Wanted to add that the service was great - didn't have to ask for extra plates or napkins. Food came out quickly as well. Probably the best Cantonese restaurant in the South Bay?! read more

This location seems to be quite popular, and I can see why. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, although I do wish they'd swap out some of the chairs for new ones. They're upholstered in fabric that looks pretty old and worn, which takes away a bit from the otherwise comfortable dining space. That aside, my husband and I really enjoyed the two dim sum dishes we ordered: siu mai and har gow. The har gow in particular was delicious. This is one of those dishes that can easily taste a little "boring" when it's not done well, but Sifu Wong nails all the flavor components. You get the sweetness of the shrimp along with sesame oil and ginger, all wrapped in that perfectly delicate, translucent wrapper. The siu mai was also solid and something I'd happily order again. The half duck was an unbeatable deal at around $24. It comes with that familiar savory sauce you typically get when ordering roast duck from a Chinese grocery store or specialty shop, and for the portion and price, it's hard to complain. We also tried the beef chow fun with black bean sauce, which was a little different from the standard beef chow fun I usually order. It's lighter in color with a wetter, saucier texture, but still tasted good nonetheless. I enjoyed it, although I'd probably stick with the traditional beef chow fun next time. Overall, Sifu Wong serves up solid, satisfying Chinese food at reasonable prices with plenty of variety on the menu. There are already a few dishes I'd happily order again, and I'd definitely come back to explore more of their dim sum offerings. read more

Still good dim sum but prices are definitely higher. Menu is getting longer but haven't tried the new items. I do like their har gow and sui mai and sticky rice with lotus leaf. Pan fried noodles with seafood is also delicious add on to the dim sum. Don't forget to ask for the yellow mustard. If you like spicy this is spicy. Small amount goes a long way. 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
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
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

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
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
This was my first visit to Sifu Wong and actually my first Dim Sum experience. I went with friends who have enjoyed Dim Sum in the past to guide me a bit. I got there within an hour of opening on Saturday morning and people were streaming in. I got on the wait-list and it moved pretty steadily. Once my companions arrived, we were seated immediately and offered tea. We said yes and a pot was dropped off but we weren't ever given a name or a choice to try something else. I think we got Chrysanthemum tea for the first pot but I can't swear to it. The second pot tasted different; I had to flag someone down to ask and learned it was Jasmine tea. The staff move around so fast that it's hard to get anyone's attention without concerted effort! Our first dish was BBQ pork puff pastry and it was delicious. Very flaky and tender. The server offered to cut them in half for us, which we consented to and made them easier to share. I was so hungry I dove in before taking a picture, so the picture here is after a few pieces were taken. The next dish was Har Gaw shrimp dumplings. Great flavor though they did fall apart a bit too easily. The Pan-Fried Chive Dumplings arrived next and were just perfect. The right amount of crisp and a delicious interior. Next came my favorite dish of them all, the Black and Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun. I could have had a few more dishes of just these and been happy with the meal. They arrived piping hot and beautiful. I'm still not clear on just what is inside but I loved it. Next came the Shrimp Rice Rolls, which were slippery devils but tasty! The Fried Taro Cakes arrived next. I didn't know what to expect and the first bite or two was underwhelming, but by the time I finished mine I'd come to quite like the flavor, though it definitely needed sauce and chili oil. The last thing to arrive was my least favorite dish, spare ribs. They were pale and kind of unappealing-looking. The pork flavor was good, though I almost cracked a tooth on an undersized sliver of bone that hid in a piece. I was going to order another round of the Black and Gold buns to end on a high note but didn't have the chance, as the bill was plunked down on the table without a word, or the opportunity to order additional dishes. So we paid and left, and I was thinking of those buns the whole rest of the day! 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
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
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
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
Celebrated my birthday here with my family of ##. We reserved the table in advance so we got the tables in the enclosed patio room. Service was excellent. We also got the birthday chinese buns and sesame roll at the end of our dinner. They were really good. We had steamed sea bass fish and it was one of the highlights. Second favorite was the steamed lobster with sticky rice. The kids love the sweet n sour pork. read more

Thank you for coming and your kind review! I am glad that you enjoyed…
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
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
