Dim Sum Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Came on a Sunday around 7pm and there was still a line but we were seated within 15 mins so not terrible. They use QR scanning on the table but the servers do come around to check if you have questions. We ended up seated outside, which wasn't bad since it was a bit warm that day.

We ordered the regular soup dumplings (XLB), the pan fried ones, (SZB), the egg and Chive pancake, and the green onion noodles (recommended by the server). Both baos were excellent and we ended up ordering seconds of both of those. The chive pancakes were pretty good and the noodles were tasty as well but we felt that for the price, it wasn't worth it.

We'll likely be back again but stick to the baos.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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😋“

“A wonderful pasty store I found accidentally. I got chicken dumplings and beef and onions stuffed pancakes from the frozen section to make at home. They also have ready made food you can enjoy immediately.
If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. The place is very friendly.“

“This is a takeout spot located in a business park, so it can be hard to find. However, their dim sum is pretty good and it's definitely a good value for how much you get. Our favorites are the pork buns and siu mai. The hao gar are pretty good, too. The bean curd is a little hit or miss, but they're packed full of filling. Pickup process is interesting as you ring a doorbell and someone will come bring out your order. They can be flexible with pickup times, though it depends on how many orders they have to fill. Parking can be a pain, but on weekdays it's not much trouble finding a spot along the street.“

“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!“

“Because my parents owned a Chinese restaurant and i used to work there when I was young, I can recognize good Chinese food. The New Kirin under new ownership is my wife and my new go to for Chinese food. The new owner, Fanny, is very helpful and friendly. The food, especially the beef dishes, is excellent. The beef is usually cooked to the Chinese standard, which is medium, is tender and flavorful. My wife also loved her tofu dishes. The prices are average but the portions are generous. There is usually no wait for a table.

I highly recommend Kirin for a casual, relaxing night out.“

“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“

“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.“

“Whole in the wall with very tasteful and authentic dimsum and more, our go to place. Very affordable prices and variety of selections. Chef’s little girl is so cute, and already very good customer service attentiveness at a young age. Highly recommended to try this place out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite style of food growing up is Hong Kong cafe style, so to have Inshou close to home is a treat! A regular order is the baked spaghetti bolognese and brick toast (with condensed milk and peanut butter). Topping it off with a HK milk tea makes it perfect! The staff are super friendly and they remember us, and we’ve hardly ever had to wait for a table. Service is fast as well.“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“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“

“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."“

“First time visit. This place used to be China village restaurant. It serves dimsum and hongkong style dishes. It has live seafood. I heard the chef is from Pallette tea and garden. When we arrived it was not busy but later in the night the restaurant is almost full. Overall, the food is yummy. The beef is a bit salty. Service wise, they might need to do better as if you go to another sizable hongkong seafood restaurant , someone will greet you and serve right a way. We will try the dimsum next time.“

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