Not the best dim sum I've tried, and I ate a lot of dim sum. The best dish was the salty fish chicken fried rice. But the chives dumpling was so so, and so was the veggie dumpling.

Probably the worst dim sum I’ve had in a long time. The dumpling skin is way too thick, the buns are 85-90% bread which is too dense, BBQ pork bun filling was dry and the golden egg lava bun filling was just straight up butter and sugar, the gailan was drenched in oil (I know restaurants use a little to get them to glisten but this was ridiculous). There were also such few options but was expensive, every dish was at least $9 and tea is $2pp. 10/10 would not recommend when there are many more other options nearby.

We went here with my family, who was visiting the US from abroad and who paid with an international credit card. Two days after we dined here, we were informed that the credit card we used to pay at Yum Cha was copied and a fraudulent transaction of 600 euros were charged to the card. My family only used this credit card a couple of times (having not used it at all prior to traveling to the US), and all the other times they simply tapped the card in grocery stores (instead of handing the card to a waiter/waitress). The odds are very high that the information was stolen at Yum Cha. I also found that there was a previous review from Will that mentioned stolen credit card info while dining here. I suggest that the restaurant owner figure out who in the staff was committing crimes and immediately fire them. Diners should be cautious when paying your bill (always keep the card in sight!).

Nice restaurant and good dim sum dishes. We had lunch late, many dishes were sold out. Only ordered 5. The xiao long bao could be better, otherwise the rest were actually good and authentic.

The restaurant was full of uncles (I didn’t even see any aunties). They all have such serious faces that I was afraid if I made a wrong move I would get scolded ?

We ordered five plates of dim sum, which filled us up as a party of two. The food was delicious, especially the spicy oil wontons. However, charging $2 per person for tea seems quite expensive.

Drove 30 minutes only to find out they’re not open on a good Tuesday night. At least update your page to reflect so.

I love take out from Yum Cha. Dim Sum all day. Crepes. Sesame balls. The entrees are also good. And decent portions for the price.I didn't rate atmosphere because we don't eat in.

Happy to have found this place in Menlo Park. Yummy dimsum and crispy noodle dish. Good portions on the dimsum. And good proportion of wrapper and filling on their dumplings.
