“we've been 3 times in the past few months and every time was great. we went the day after my wife's birthday, the same day our pet passed, and the staff made it a very special experience and distraction from our loss. absolutely recommend 110%. great food, great people, great experience overall.“

“Absolutely delicious Hunan food! Every dish was packed with authentic flavor and had the perfect balance of spice. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic Hunan cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This spot is spotlessly clean and serves great‑tasting food. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are very generous. I really appreciate being able to customize my toppings. The staff are friendly and efficient. I end up eating here twice a week, and parking is convenient too.“

“It's not like China, but it's pretty good. It's like home“

“Very much comfort food! I ordered the yellow braised chicken (bone-in) for lunch. It came with a bowl of rice. The chicken is very tender, and the bones were mostly easy to remove. I would love to try the spicy version next time since the fruit peppers weren’t spicy at all. I also loved the mushroom in the pot. Would love to come here again!“

“The high reviews caught my eye. One thing to note is that the food though delicious was a bit too salty. We ordered like 7 dishes to share with 7 people family style but half of the dishes were just way too salty, even for my tastes when I personally enjoy heavily-salted foods. It could be a one-off but I also submitted this review for the free desserts (which is very nice and not too sweet).

Aside from that I would definitely give this restaurant a try again in the future if I hear that their salt levels were better balanced and accounted for.“

“They moved down the block and is called Home Eat.

still the same employees, ask for the weekly deals.

The dishes were a little different, so we thought they had changed owners.

ONLY get dishes from the weekly specials else it is too expensive. The pork bone soup is good, more spices than the old location. Get ready to use your hands. Beef roll has actually good beef, sometimes other places is just unseasoned fat.

Would come back, but because of prices, generally 3.5 stars.“

“Coming from a culture that is food-obssessed, this place has made its impression. It's just really hard to find a combination of perfectly made noodles with excellent flavor and el dente cook. Order the fried noodles and make sure to try other kinds of noodles. The more you try, the happier you'll be.“

“Fast delivery, good taste, suitable for family, friends, company colleagues to have dinner together, each dish has a taste, especially when it is served, the taste is super fragrant. Love it.“

“If you're looking for somewhere with tons of vegan options, this is the place. It's a comforting restaurant right off the main road and the service is always great. Attentive staff will make sure that you always have what you need while dining in or even when grabbing to go food.“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“I had never been to a noodle house but my son brought me here. I was pleasantly surprised by his noodle dish. I've never been a at noodle fan but the noodles were so flavorful. I couldn't put my finger on it but it was so good!! Not too spicy, perfect blend of spices. I had the beef chow mein and it was absolutely perfect if you are craving chow mein. We are every last bit of everything.“

“My wife and I stumbled into the restaurant when we were in the area for an appointment. Good prices, very good quality ingredients, and we were very pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed our lunch - hot and sour soup, pot stickers, dumplings, and beef soup noodle (which was brisket and excellent). Really nice server too. We will be back.“

“We stopped by to get some soup on a cold Friday night and I'm so glad that we did. The soup was absolutely delicious. The noodles brought up childhood memories of my grandma's homemade noodles. The broth was very tasty and there were plenty of vegetables. My boyfriend had steamed buns with pork, he like them a lot. Very reasonably priced. We'll be back.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!“

“We went to the San Jose location a few years ago, so we were really happy to see them expand to the Mountain View area! The place was packed on a Wednesday night, but everything was still well organized and the food came out surprisingly quickly.

Overall, we had a great experience. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, but the rice pilaf with lamb shank, stewed mutton soup, and Amina yogurt with almond were the highlights for me. The portions were great and very satisfying.

Service was amazing as well. We’ll absolutely be back for more!“

“Ok. If you're looking for fine dining, iDumplings is not for you, full stop. BUT if you're looking for a hole in a wall, great quality food, friendly staff, and located at downtown Redwood City, this place is for you. I need to come here more often. It's so yummy, they make the wrappers from scratch for the dumplings, the dishes are not overly greasy (which I like ALOT), and it's affordable. Give me a place like this any day. Thanks iDumplings!“

“We have not been here in many years. What a pleasant surprise they still deliver the same great quality food and service. And now, they have outside seating too. They still have the traditional carts roaming around the dining room with delicious choices. We liked that the classic dimsum fare was still being served and they do not scrimp on portions, unlike many dimsum places in Millbrae and Daly City. The shu mai was juicy and large, as were the shiu bao. The tofu skin wrap had a lot of filling instead of several layers of tofu skin. The ham suy ko was plump and crisp on the outside but chewing on the inside with a good amount of filling. We came for a late lunch but they were still full. Their service was friendly but brisk and efficient. The place was clean and pleasant. We will be back!“

“Love, Love, Love this place! Lee's is authentic Chinese food. They've been in business for over 30 years and there's a reason for it. Delicious food, wonderful people that treat you like family. I love the walnut shrimp, pork chow mein, Mongolian beef, black mushroom chicken, and won ton soup. Hole in the wall, delicious food!! You've got to try it!“

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in San Jose they have the best Mongolian beef in the Bay Area there chicken chow main is yummy and their lunch specials are great it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.“

“My family and I got the fried chicken rice, pork ribs, and pork bun. It was amazing! The food cooked at a reasonable time. The server was excellent and came every time a question was needed. Delicious flavors! Would definitely come again (: I like how we also just needed to order on our phones, fast and easy.“

“I’ve been coming to this place with my family for around 2 years now and it’s still my favorite. Their Liangpi dish is so delicious and I definitely recommend it. My favorite part about this noodle resturant is the rich flavor of the soups and sauces, it’s heavenly.“

“has your typical chinese-american items like beef broccoli but also some more unique fusion-style dishes. the pineapple bun sandwiches caught my eye & the tingly spicy was a creative take on a spicy chicken sandwich with chinese ingredients. the fries were crispy & well-seasoned but too oily for my liking. the meal was good, although i’d imagine their other stuff is more impressive.“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“We live in Fresno and make the three-hour drive here every month just for the food! We run a restaurant ourselves, so we’re pretty picky, but Hunan Impression’s Hunan and Sichuan dishes are truly authentic.
What we love most is that every spicy dish has its own distinct flavor. Some places rely so heavily on chili powder that everything tastes the same, but here you can really taste the different seasonings and ingredients in each dish.
We absolutely love this place. Highly recommend！！Well worth the drive!!“

“The ambience of the restaurant is nice, the waiters are helpful, and the prices are good. You also get a free drink with the meal if you post a review, so I’m writing this before I’ve eaten anything. But it looks popular…“

“The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the noodles were especially good. The portions were generous, and all the ingredients tasted fresh. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Yummy dumplings. We got a variety of dumplings and they arrived quickly. The portion size is good.
And we got the place without any wait, even on a Sunday. Must try if you like dumplings. The potstickers were a bit oily for our liking. Rest all the food was great.“

“Amazing customer service , friendly staff.“

“Clean tables, food is amazing, third time coming here. First time was an online order, me and my husband needed to try in person and the customer service is phenomenal. There is a Front of the house lady, she is so sweet, she always recommends something new to try.“

“good place，“

“A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.“

“Understated hidden gem on Castro St. I often bring my friends and family here and they love the green beans, the XLBs, and the Shanghai pork fried dumplings. The temperature and skin of the dumplings are always fresh and hot. My favorite spot to go for dumplings, never disappoints.“

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“The environment is clean and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was served promptly. The dishes were delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back again!“

“It was my first time and I had a good hype for this place from my Asian friends. This place was packed on a weekend and I heard they are busy most weekends. The place is cozy and we had to wait 15 mins to get a table. Their service is friendly and quick. We got the bbq fish which is this location famous for. I have to say I was surprised by the size and quantity. It was a big fish and good for 3 to 4 people. Though the fish was big it was mostly bones and their broth was spicy and sour with ample of veggies. We got Jasmine rice to go with it and it was good. The fish was fresh and the broth was soothing. We also got complimentary Ube dessert. Overall had a nice time and will definitely come back to try out their other dishes.“

“This is the best meal we have had since moving to the Bay Area over 2 years ago. The signature grilled fish with lemon grass, stir fried mushroom with yunnan ham, and fried rice were stand outs. But everything was delicious. And the service was really excellent too. Definitely coming back!“

“great food. good service“

“The best Chinese Restaurant in Silicon Valley! The food is outstanding 🥇“

“We’ve been coming here for over a decade, and the quality has been consistently outstanding. Truly authentic Cantonese cuisine, with a warm vibe that works equally well for small dinners or large group gatherings. It’s easy to book, the staff are super accommodating, and they don’t just serve food, they tailor dishes exactly to your requests. Reliable, delicious, and welcoming every time. Highly recommended.“

“Food are delicious. especially their soup. friendly staff and clean restaurant“

“This is one of my favorite places to go for a hearty braised meat meal. Every dish is cooked to perfection and the flavors are interesting and remain authentic. Today we got the braised pork rib which were tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the duck gizzard which was very tasty. Highly recommend this place!“

“3.5/5.

Average neighborhood Mongolian grill. If you want Mongolian grill food it would work for you. If you have shellfish allergies, or maybe any food allergy, I would avoid this place. They cook by dragging the food around the grill once per person instead of a space they clean like the larger grills will do. They just place the next bowl immediately after and drag it around across the previous persons stuff. I was eating shrimp and I eat spicy, so for me it wasn't an issue. Sucks for the person following me, and sucked for my son (9) as he followed a spice lover and his dish ended up too spicy for him to enjoy. He was pretty disappointed.“

“This restaurant is such a wonderful find. The dining space is tastefully decorated with soft lighting, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for guests. The service is truly impressive. All staff members are warm and polite, greeting us upon arrival and checking on our table regularly. They are quick to respond to requests and offer thoughtful recommendations. It’s a lovely spot for casual dinners or small gatherings. We had a fantastic time here and will absolutely come back for another meal.“

“This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the whole Bay Area. The food here is amazing that I always want to come here and stock up since I don't live close. When I moved away, this is one of the foods I missed most. The bao dough is so fluffy and chewy and the filling is amazingly flavorful. The staff is also really kind and gave me a free soy milk with my purchase, and was very friendly in helping me pick out my order.

If you live far away, they also sell on Weee which I love. I think other reviews have mentioned but the store is mainly takeout I think. If I was a college student living nearby I'd probably come here every day haha! It's so convenient.“
