    Peking duck
    Joyce T.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken feet
    Arthur T.

    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.

    Crispy calamari 5/5
    Ngoc T.

    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!

    Pineapple bun
    Kristine S.

    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.

    Spare Ribs
    Maura B.

    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!

    Asahi beer
    Amy N.

    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.

    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.

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.

New Port does offer a variety of dishes and the interior design of the restaurant is very nice, but the experience does not warrant another visit. I just wasn't impressed and if I wanted this quality of dim sum, I rather support smaller Chinese bakeries that sell dim sum for a cheaper price point. Like the food wasn't bad, but I would rather go to Koi Palace if I'm going to spend a similar amount of $$$. One thing I did like a lot was the fried squid. I have never seen it fried that way before. It looked doughy on the outside because of the puff, but the batter wasn't thick. I liked the soft crisp and the squid was tender, not chewy at all!

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.

    Came by the other day to grab some dim sum and it was a tasty experience. Parking is available…read moreinside the strip mall lot or on residential streets behind the shop. There are a few tables indoors for dining along with a few tables outside. They now have air conditioning. The quality of their food is actually decent, on par with dim sum restaurants in the area. 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. Some staff wear a glove on their hand too.

    There are many dumpling places around here. They are nearly in-differentiable -- an appearance of…read morefamily-run, a plethora of filling choices, several cooking choices, and some standard Chinese restaurant dishes. Dumplings are staple foods in China that every families knows how to make and have their own recipes. This is a highly competitive category in Chinese food subcategories. Yet, this place survived over a decade by now. Because they made excellent dumplings, have a genuine friendly service that feel like family-run, and keep the place clean, serviceable, and not ornate. We tried 3 kinds of dumplings, chive boxes, and a noodle-like dish 涼皮. I would say avoid the latter and just freely choose whatever filling that suit your mood. You are not going to be disappointed.

The store's vibe felt like a mom and pop shop. We got our food ready quickly, maybe 10 minutes. Their spicy sauce is really good, in house. We ordered 4 dishes. - green bean: too crunchy. It needs to be more soft. - xlb: pretty solid and a good size too - pan fried bun: really good! Love the crunch and soup - wontons: decent! The price was fair and I'd probably go again.

Got the string beans, stir fried rice cakes, steamed dumplings, their "secret menu" pork ribs, and pan fried dumplings. My favorites were the pork ribs and the pan fried dumplings. The pork ribs are in their yelp photos but not in the actual menu, but it can be ordered with the server if available. It was packed with flavors and tender!

The Shanghai chowmein tasted like noodles coated in soy sauce and had very little protein, would not recommend. The spareribs was a recommended to us by the waiter and not on the menu but was the most terrible dish. The flavor was good but the meat was so hard and mostly bone. The last dish we ordered was the kaof gluten, this was a yummy cold appetizer and packed with mushroom. Service 5/5 The waiter was extremely nice and attentive, although there several times when they keep bringing the dishes to the wrong table. Ambiance 5/5 I like the ambiance in the restaurant. It gives off the nice, elegant, and vintage Chinese vibe that is perfect for a casual dine out. It is a tucked away on the further end of Castro and I like that there's no big crowds outside.
