Good food. I wish they grave more than 1 green onion pancake for the price. Other restaurants give 2.
Very pleasantly surprised...nice service, great food prepared to our preference, delicious! Highly recommend!
The food is authentic and really delicious and well-flavored. The portion size for some dishes are relatively small for their price. But other than that, the staff members were extremely helpful and kind. It's not so busy when we visit so the atmosphere was okay as well. Would visit again.

Tin's Teapot Bistro is a standout among Asian restaurants in the Bay Area, serving excellent food that rivals homemade cooking. The dim sum is a highlight, with delicate chee cheung fun, crispy jian dui, tasty taro cake, and fresh char kway teow. The menu offers many options, including vegetarian dishes made with quality, fresh ingredients. The restaurant also features authentic Cantonese style dishes that are prepared quickly, such as salt & pepper pork chops and eggplant, which is a little too oily. Seafood in XO sauce is available but was described as rather mild, despite being labeled spicy. The service is generally efficient, though it can get busy on weekends, and there is room for improvement to reach five-star standards. The chef's special Qing Dynasty dish of Mapo Tofu with minced chicken was served with the right mild spice level and a generous portion, pairing well with jasmine tea and mango pudding for dessert. The restaurant's warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and the owner’s availability for private parties and catering make it a must-visit. Dishes like green beans, the salt & pepper pork chop, and mango pudding are popular, and the freshness and quality of ingredients ensure every dish arrives piping hot with layers of flavor.
