Dim Sum Restaurants near Mountain View, CA

“Was looking for dim sum in Mountain View so this Castro Street location fit the bill.

Pros: Ample free parking behind the restaurant and plenty of seating for our 11 am arrival today (Saturday). Was fun to have the traditional cart service for dim sum again. Service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of dishes.

Cons: Most of the food was cold! That was disappointing. I guess it’s one of the trade offs of cart service.“

“Kirin is our go to place for Chinese food! Very delicious, with fresh seafood and great service. The restaurant is bright and clean and great for larger parties also. Plenty parking in the back. Favorites are the crab, lobster, honey walnut prawns, and the variety of vegetables such as pea sprouts and green beans. Looking forward to coming back again and again!“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:

The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.

Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.

Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.

Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.

The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.“

“The food was absolutely delicious—we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back to try more. Everything tasted great. The only small suggestion would be to add a napkin dispenser on the tables, which would make the experience even better.“

“The food is amazing. We go there every week, but it’s not all about the food. Sandy and her staff make us feel like family. We truly appreciate them! ❤️❤️❤️“

“👍😄🔥🌸🍎好吃非常好吃😋“

“They have a total of seven different kinds of gluten free dumplings (four with meat or seafood, and three vegetarian ones). Having so many gluten free dumpling options is almost unheard of. We ordered all of them and were very impressed. Tasty, generous portions and clean feeling because of the water-based cooking.“

“I went there for dim sum group of 7 to 8 people. Expect to wait a bit. Dim sum is delicious. Waiters sometime confuse our tea choice. Restroom need clean & upgrade. Sometimes you have to park on street. Overall dim sum is great better than Dynasty in Cupertino.“

“Open, spacious dining area- adequate for banquets of 60 tables. Private dining room has space for 30 customers. Karaoke with 50ft. screen. Great fresh seafood dinner and dim sum lunch. Fast and friendly services. Tasteful decorations. Prices are reasonable given quality of dishes.“

“Update:
Jianbao is still delicious. I’ll probably skip the hot and sour soup next time. It’s tasty but too much for one person. Also, there’s a lot of soup and I don’t think it’s worth the money. OK if you’re sharing.

Tasty and juicy jianbao. Bottom was nice and crispy.“

“Love this place. Have loved Dim Sum for many years. Now I have my go to place.“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“We went there on Christmas Eve to have a family dinner. We ordered the family dinner set for over $400 package. It was delicious ! A lot of food and also have left over to take home ! The service was excellent. I also celebrate my birthday there. We had an amazing time.“

“I recommend EVERYTHING! Everything that I have tried is delicious!“

“The service sucks, if you're not speaking the same language, good luck getting taken care of in a timely manner. I guess when it's the same day in and day out, you're just fed up with customers 😒
The food is still great, been going here since they opened. The prices in the last few months have jumped drastically, and its $15 for a combo box, I remember when it was $8.
I still remember that you could also sit and eat inside before Covid.
The portions of the dim sum, are huge, and packed full with shrimp, pork or whatever you choose.
Overall, I'm still going back here, as the food is fantastic 😋“

“The momos are delicious. They were absolutely juicy, and the feeling was extremely well balanced, and they did not skimp on the quantity either. The chicken chow mein, on the other hand were below average. The quantity of chicken was less. The noodles were stuck together. The seasoning was lacking, and there were few vegetables then I like. I would skip the chow mein next time and just get the momos.“

“This used to be a good restaurant, but for the past year or so, the place is run down, smell bad, dirty, and the food quality is getting worse. Very disappointed.“

“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.“

“So good! my family and I shared a couple items. soup, cucumber salad, chicken sandwich and 2 types of dumplings. Everything was amazing! I'll definitely be back!“

“I’ve been coming here for years! The food is delicious and dumplings are better than Ding Tai Fung. Best place to eat dumplings and without the crazy lines! It’s a small dive but I personally think that it’s quite
charming.“

“Love Dumpling Time in Santana Row, but it was Jaylen's and the rest of the servers' phenomenal service that really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, quick, and overall provided excellent service. The rest of the servers were great too, but Jayden was our server so he's the star of this review here. Dumpling Time was smart to have hired him. We will definitely come back, for the delicious food, the amazing atmosphere, and for the service we received here today.“

“We had a dinner at the restaurant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ping Pong Diplomacy. Dynasty Seafood is an amazing top shelf experience. Elegant surroundings, gourmet chinese food, great service. Some of my favorite dishes: cold platter with roast pork, char siu and jellyfish, abalone with bok choy, succulent smoked duck, and lobster noodles. If you are planning a dinner to celebrate a special ocassion, this is the restaurant“

“一家以粤菜为主的中餐馆，咕咾肉，干烧明虾，叉烧烤肉味道都很不错“

“I was searching for a dim sum place and this restaurant’s name came up with decent reviews. I went there but found out that they no longer serve dim sum, only the regular Chinese food menu. We ended up ordered congee and lobster noodles and those were quite good.“

“Here's the review with the added information:
"Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."“

“The dumplings helped me out of Home sick and feels better“
