Dim Sum Restaurants near Pleasanton, CA

“traditional Chinese congeee“

“The clear broth beef noodle soup is THE BEST. Beef is tender, noodles are soft, and the broth has so much flavor.

Also the beef pancake is a great side. Super flaky and the beef is very tender. This is my second time here in a month lol.“

“Online ordering here was a breeze. Unlike other places where I feel pressured to order more or lack the convenience of online options, this spot made getting dim sum straightforward.

Food: The dim sum was warm and steamy, and the quality was solid. My only gripe was the limited menu—no shrimp rice rolls or fried shrimp crescents, which are some of my favorites. If you’re happy with staples like Shiu Mai or Har Gow, you’ll enjoy it.

Service: No issues. I picked up my order by name, and that was it.

Atmosphere: The setting is simple and casual, with a cafeteria-like vibe. It’s good for a laid-back meal but not for anything formal.

Overall: It’s a decent spot with a smaller menu. Two orders of dim sum were enough to satisfy me, and I’d come back if I was in the mood for a quick and easy dim sum fix.

Parking: There was so much parking here on a weekend morning.“

“I'm here on vacation every winter. Lulu's is one of our favorite stops and we patronize it on a consistent basis. Unfortunately (for me) last night I deviated from my norm and ordered the London broil. It was over cooked (I requested medium) and I struggled through it. My appetizer was fine and my friends were delighted with their selections. Sometimes things simply don't meet expectations- I'm good and will plan to continue patronizing Lulu's“

“First time here and it can feel a bit out of place as it's a Chinese Restaurant smack in the middle of a mall that's normally occupied by American food.

The restaurant itself isn't that big compared to others, and the seats were tightly packed. There was a 45 minute delay from when we order the food till when the soup first arrived, and the rest of the food came shortly after. It was worth the wait as the food was fresh and tasty.“

“This is my second time there and the food is authentic and super tasty yet again. They serve Dim Sum even for dinner which is a bonus. Their crab meat fish maw soup is a must and being a seafood lover - their seafood dim sum dishes hits close to home. Their manager is very accommodating and ensures all guests are well taken care of.“

“Great food. Found this while on a work trip. Pork buns are amazing custard buns has to be one of the most amazing desserts I’ve ever eaten. WOW!!“

“This place reminds me of the old-school Chinese and Taiwanese places you’d find in the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal in the early 2000s. Mandarin speaking, straightforward service and just good Chinese comfort food.

At 11am on a Saturday it was packed with mainlanders, a good sign. What I really love about it is the honest pricing…we ordered a noodle, pan-fried buns and wonton soup for only $41 total. That’s a steal in this crazy economy, especially considering how labor-intensive Chinese dumplings are.

- Shanghai pan fried buns were crispy on outside, fluffy on the inside. Delicious!
- The shepherd’s purse wonton was okay, but slightly over-boiled; the wrappers were gummy.
- Scallion oil noodles were delicious and in a generous serving that two can share

The elderly couple running this place are both really nice and friendly. They’re more comfortable speaking Mandarin but they speak some English as well.“

“If you’re looking for amazing Chinese food, Mayflower is the place to go. The quality of the food is consistently outstanding, and the portions are generous—definitely great value for the price.

The highlight for me is the Peking duck. It’s perfectly prepared, with crispy skin, tender meat, and all the traditional accompaniments. Easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere.

Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere made the dining experience even better. The bus boy named Christian went out of his way to keep us our table clean and refilling our drinks.

Highly recommend Mayflower for anyone craving delicious, authentic Chinese dishes!“

“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!“

“For a Chinese bbq joint, this is a very solid option here in Fremont. Their roast duck, pork, charsiu pork, and their soy chicken all have great flavor and texture that you expect. Their hot food options are good with a few exceptions. Their orange chickens batter is extremely soggy due to how the batter takes in the sauce but their salt and pepper fish and chicken are a lot of people’s favorites and for good reason. Their dim sum options are brought in from an outside source but despite that, they do the job well for anyone looking for a quick dim sum fix. Overall, for my Chinese bbq needs and even lunch, this place is worth it.“

“Very good food and very nice waitress and waiters👍👍👍“

“Always good. I come here to eat whenever I'm in the area. Best canto food and in a clean and nice location with plenty of parking. Is located in the parking lot of a business area, which I find kind of weird but totally awesome for the fact that it's easily accessible.

This place also serves dim sum thoughout the day, which is a total plus in my opinion because most places don't serve them some past 2:00 p.m.

The dim sum is actually pretty legit and traditional. You can get pretty busy during lunch time, but it moves pretty quickly.“

“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."“

“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.“
