Cantonese Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“great food. good service“

“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.“

“Great food, can be busy during dinner time. So show up early.“

“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.“

“We came here expecting a quick meal and accidentally found a comfort-food headquarters.
The beef stew noodle soup is unreal — rich broth, tender beef that basically surrenders the moment you look at it, and noodles with that perfect springy bite. My kids, who normally treat dinner like a negotiation, asked for seconds. That alone should earn this place a Michelin star in the Parent Olympics.
Everything tastes like the kind of cooking you get at a relative’s house… if that relative had decades of Cantonese kitchen experience and no patience for shortcuts. Warm flavors, clean broth, not greasy, and deeply satisfying.
If you grew up eating Cantonese food, this hits the nostalgia button.
If you didn’t, congratulations — you just unlocked a new comfort food.
We will absolutely be back… mostly because my kids have already decided we live here now.“

For a limited time they are offering new year meals. Came here because I earned coupons from dim sum (10 with each 50 spent) If you choose these set $188 for 4, food comes out fast

Weekday dim sum (excluding holidays) where Large is the same as Medium price (6.29) is great. Forgot to take pics because was hungry but food comes hot and fresh.

Parking not easy though. Gets packed“

“This is kind of a hole in the wall place. The best item we had was the shrimp fried rice. Well cooked and tasted wonderful. The dumplings were good as well. The xiao long bao was alright. I would avoid the broccoli tofu dish. That was super salty.

Service was decent. You can order online via a WR code. Plenty of parking.“

“First time eating at this Chinese Restaurant, the food was really really good and the service was okay. The restaurant is located in Foster City. They have a huge parking lot so there was no problem parking. We went after the lunch crowd so the place was not real busy. The menu is quite large (5 pages) so it took us a minute to make our selection. Portion sizes were plentiful and they were not real pricey, totally worth the money spent. I chose the roast pork with bok choy and rice, my cousin had the beef plate with rice and bok choy. The meats were tasty and very tender. I would definitely go back again to try some of the other entrees.“

“A good Chinese restaurant doesn’t get 5 stars, if it’s a 5 star Chinese restaurant, it’s not good, hence the 4 stars. Food is good here, apparently made in house. Service is great, they refilled our tea without asking. Food came at a good pace. Atmosphere wise, it’s a Chinese restaurant, so yeah it’s loud hence but you can still hear your own table and the table next to you.“

“This chain originates in Guangdong Province and has been in existence since 1981.

Limited menu featuring traditional Cantonese healthy favorites: rice noodle rolls, porridge/congee, curative herbal soups, and steamed rice/meat.

Great place for a clean healthy meal.“

“The service is just from being overwhelmed from called in orders. Impatient people not used to waiting for cooked food, it’s not microwaved food and it’s quality so you can’t argue, many restaurants are microwaved with frozen meat which makes a hard center, this place actually cooks with skill where it’s made right for health, it not oily it’s protein from the meat.“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“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."“
