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.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“May 2026:
I used to work in Foster City twenty years ago. Used to come here often for lunch.

Came here on a Sunday and had a very good lunch. Tomato beef chow mein was excellent. Singaporean noodles were also delicious 😋.

Would definitely come back again.“

“Fast service, nice ambient, delicious food. Highly recommend chives dimsum, black bean stir fry string bean and stir fry rice cake (No photo was too busy eating) It was my frist time here but overall very satisfied and definitely will return“

“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."“
