“Dim sum without the cart ladies. They have dim sum brought out in the carts after you order with their electronic tablet on the tables. But be aware they really only look at the food order that prints, and you have to ask the human waiters for water and napkins, even after you select those things on the tablet. Food was decent, the service was decent, large parking lot in san jose is a big deal. The price is lower than higher end places, and if you are okay with to go chopsticks and cantonese (or pointing) as the main communication, this is a decent option.I would come here if i did not want to spend double at asian pearl. But if i want bigger and better quality, maybe only if i was less than 5 miles away.“
“Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese ones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff.Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up).The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here).After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!“
“This is as authentic as it gets. Don't expect crisp kind service and extra napkins or to go containers that you can fit all of your food in when it's time to go, but do expect delicious food well seasoned and prepared and delivered to the table quickly. My last time here, I had the dim sum, and it was great as usual. The little plates piled up, one more delicious than the next. Our table also ordered the short ribs, which are my favorite, Chinese broccoli and fried rice. The restaurant is pretty old and inside the tables are rickety and sticky and I'm definitely sure they could upgrade their decor and seating but the food is so good that I look beyond that and just appreciate the meal. I've been coming here for years, and I don't recall one bad experience.“
“I was super excited to try this restaurant! It was 11:30 and the place was packed. But we got a table almost immediately. All customers were of some Asian descent so I believe that's a good sign for a Chinese restaurant. Their service was quick and efficient. The food was GOOD! My favorite were the Pan fried pork bun with vegetables and the Salt and pepper squid. The Beef chow fun with Mongolian sauce was neither spicy nor tasty. My hubby loved the Steamed shrimp and pea sprout dumpling and the Steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce. Recommend Golden Palace for a good Dim Sum!“
