“Dough Zone is a great budget-friendly Chinese restaurant. While some of the dishes may not look perfectly traditional in terms of presentation, the taste is fantastic and authentic. We ordered the juicy xiaolongbao, well-filled chive pockets, minced chicken noodles, and wontons—all for around $40. Definitely worth it for the price and quality!“

“I was curious to try this place after driving past it so many times and home eats in Cupertino let me down the last time I ate there. We had the eggplant and combo noodle special and a bowl of rice. The food was pretty tasty and fresh but I felt like it was expensive for Chinese food. 25$ for noodles and about $17 for eggplant, 3$ for rice. Service and ambience was nicer than your typical Chinese restaurant but was it worth another visit? We’ll see“

“We love how fresh these buns are manually made. They are delicious with a few different interesting flavors. The spicy mince pork and tofu buns are our favorite. It still tastes good the day after. It may seem pricy, but the portion of each order is large, so it's totally worth the money. Only gets 4 stars from me because the frozen wonton have so little meat. They tasted great though, but not much filling at all. Generally, we're happy with the food and the super fast service. Definitely come back for more bao buns, but probably not the wonton.“

“The beef noodle was absolutely delicious! The beef was incredibly tender and soft, making it so enjoyable. The owner was also very generous, offering us complimentary chicken wings and wonton puffs. Everything was fantastic, and we’ll definitely be back again!”“

“Five stars. And we are very picky eaters having kept second home near in China for decades, dined at countless high end restaurants as we traveled all over mainland China, HK, Singapore, etc.
The entire menu is very good but let me pick one item to highlight: their Sichuan style dry fried green beans are incredible and are the only truly authentic Sichuan version I've found anywhere in Bay Area. Their version is perfect, so much so that I would gladly make the 20 min drive to Hunan Impression if that item was only thing on their menu !“

“We got the nanjing roasted duck and beef noodle soup here, and they were both very delicious! I would definitely come back here again. The roast duck was cut well, and its skin was very crispy. The sauce was special and complemented the duck well. I can see why this was highly recommended here. As for the beef noodle soup, it was on the sweeter side, and the beef tasted like it was red braised. If we get the same next time, we definitely need to get some plain rice to balance the saltiness and sweetness.“

“Rarely do I goto noodle houses like this but went with a friend today.
Flavors were pretty good and size was solid as well. Can't say anything was bad and it was above my expectations.
Pricing is also quite fair for the portions so worth a try.“

“My daughter and I absolutely love the Restaurant .we visit every week, and it’s become our favorite spot for delicious meals. The moment we walk in, we’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere, but it’s the food that keeps us coming back.
Every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding. My daughter’s favorite is the Eggplant Fish dish, and I always look forward to the it. Each bite is full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and made with fresh ingredients. The balance of taste in every dish is just incredible, and the portions are generous . We can’t recommend it· enough if you’re looking for a place with consistently mouthwatering food. It’s our weekly go-to, and we always leave happy and satisfied.“

“I agree with Z. Alex on this one, definitely one of the best Chinese Restaurants in town. I am an addict of Wor Won Ton soup and have tried many different spots in San Jose looking for that authentic taste, found it here. Spring rolls are also some of the best in town. I have not had an opportunity to eat there in person, just have ordered through DoorDash, food is consistently great.“

“Very good rice noodles!A large portion of food, I have a light taste and my mom prefers more flavor, I ordered the mushrooms and she got the tomato beef, we both are very satisfied the noodles. Staffs are very friendly, they call us immediately when they found my mom left her hat in the restaurant. Very good service!“

“I tried the duck wings. The lady was hesitant to sell them to me but I said I like chicken wings and I think duck wings might be better. Place is kind of dirty especially their credit card machine (first she wanted cash and I didn't have any but said I'll bring cash next time) and then it was OK to use my card. The duck wings are tasty! There's less meat on a duck wing than on the wings of modern mutant chickens, but it's all dark meat and yummy.“

“After my favorite Chinese takeout Hong's was closed when the owner moved back to China I found this treasure! Take out only but it's the food that keeps me coming back for more. You've tried the rest so now it's time to try the best.😋 House special rice w/pork, chicken, shrimp & eggs is yummy along with all your favorites. I haven't tried everything so I'll drive another 20 miles each month until I do!“

“We've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, and have been very impressed with the food on both occasions. They offer dim sum exclusively during lunch, while dinner features a menu of classic Cantonese dishes.
The quality really shines through – you can tell they use fresh ingredients, and everything is well-seasoned and expertly cooked. A standout from our dinner was the steamed live red grouper; it was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. During our lunch visit, the beef organ stew was a highlight – the organs were clearly fresh and stewed to a wonderful softness.
The staff members are friendly and welcoming. However, it's worth noting that they seem quite understaffed during peak lunch times, so while the service is friendly, it might not be the speediest. Just set your expectations accordingly.
The decor definitely has a nostalgic 2000s Hong Kong feel. A modern refresh would certainly elevate the dining experience.
Overall, the excellent food is the main draw here, and it's more than enough reason for us to return many times.“

“Best Chinese food ever. We’ve been going here for 30+ years and the quality has remained exceptional. The meat pie and onion cake are so yummy. We’ve tried almost everything and you can’t go wrong with anything you order. Francis, the owner, is kind and welcoming and the service is great. And prices are very reasonable.
Also, they have many vegan options, which my daughter and son in law loved!
All diets welcome. Must go.“

“Another authentic Hong Kong café. They serve classic dishes like baked pork chop rice, just as you’d expect from a traditional HK spot. It’s usually not too busy, so getting a seat is easy—I’ve been here five times and never had to wait. The food comes out quickly, which makes it a great option if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to spend too long on a meal.“

“If you go to Eastridge and don't care for mall food - or Olive Garden, Han Kee 2 is literally around the corner, a great choice for Cantonese food that won't break your bank.
The restaurant is attached to a Chinese barbecue shop. The shop is the first thing you see from the strip mall and from the entrance. Most of daytime, there is little wait. But for dinner, occasionally there can be a short wait.
Once you enter the dining area, you get a very traditional Cantonese menu. Dry fried beef chow fun. Salted pork and duck egg porridge. You name it. They also have lots of dishes based on their large repotoir of BBQ meats. Food usually comes quickly. Portions are generous. The taste is really what you expect. The most exciting treat for me is a soymilk drink that I do not find in other restaurants. Try it. You may like it, too.
That part of Tully Road is at the edge of Little Saigon. There are lots of food choices in the area. But Han Kee 2 will always be a good choice when you want something fast and inexpensive.“

“Food: Super authentic Chinese dishes! It’s a gem hidden in the plaza. Really love their dishes here and even got a takeout menu copy in our car, so we can order it whenever we feel like having it ? Dinner time offers free dessert and if you’re into Asian foods, you’ll love this place!
Service: they’re okay with both English and Chinese.
Ambiance: Family restaurant vibe but many party of 2 also comes here to enjoy dishes, and leftovers are good for another meal ?“

“Ever go to a place and you ordered a dish that looks/sounds good and you order it and it was so delicious that when you go back again it will be the only thing you order. My wife brought me home Honey Walnut Shrimp. I received it cold but the size of the shrimp made me go wow! It was delicious and I couldn't finish it. The following week I went back and told the counter guy my last week experience, I own a restaurant and I know they love positive feedback. Guess what I did? I ordered it again and ate it in the parking lot in my car. It was very hot and much better than I expected. I'm now afraid to try anything else. I looked for shrimp & lobster sauce but did not have. That WAS my go to dish!“

“By far the best Chinese food I’ve had in central San Jose. I have a very big appetite for Chinese food….. I will go the distance for food that fills my appetite and cleanse my palate. Give it a try, you won’t forget it, and you won’t regret it, ever. Pass the word on it!“

“Flavors were good, orange chicken a little too crispy but it was later in the day before they closed.
Slightly pricey compared to similar establishments,
I would eat here again if I'm in the immediate area and need to get something to eat quickly.“

“Golden House Chinese Restaurant – A Comfort Food Win on Santa Teresa
Golden House Chinese Restaurant on Santa Teresa Blvd in San Jose is one of those reliable neighborhood gems that delivers every time — especially when you’re in the mood for something warm, tasty, and comforting.
I ordered the chicken wonton soup, but I customized it — no chicken, just a bunch of dumplings and extra vegetables. And honestly? They delivered exactly what I wanted. The broth was rich and flavorful, the dumplings were tender and packed with savory filling, and the vegetables gave it a fresh, balanced feel. It hit the spot perfectly — especially on a chill day when I needed something easy to eat and deeply satisfying.
One small thing to note (not a complaint, just part of the experience): I tried calling ahead to place my order, but couldn’t get through on the phone. No biggie — I just drove over, walked in, placed my order at the counter, and waited about 10 minutes. Super smooth overall. I’m honestly kind of used to doing that now, and the staff is always polite and efficient.
There’s a certain comfort to spots like Golden House. They don’t try to be trendy or flashy — they just focus on serving consistently good food, quickly and affordably. And for that, they’ve earned a permanent spot on my local favorites list.
Highly recommend the wonton soup (especially with your own twist), and I’m looking forward to trying more dishes soon. Solid 4-star experience — I’ll definitely be back.“

“The Five Flavor Chicken is outstanding...noodles are tasty, but I prefer just getting a side order of the chicken. All their meat choices look really good. There are always terrific portions the staff gives you, and the staff are very nice and always keep their place clean. One of the few Mr. Chau's left in the area - I'm very glad it's close to you where I live.“
“this is truly one of the most authentic shanghainese restaurants in the cupertino and san jose area. their specialty is the sheng jian bao (pan-fried buns) and xiao long bao (soup dumplings). this restaurant is usually not busy at all, but the service can still be a tad bit slow due to limited workers. the prices have also gone up recently, but the quality is still authentic nonetheless.“

“Great sweet and sour chicken. The chicken pieces are really big which could be a plus or minus depending on how you like it, but the sauce was great, chicken not overcooked, and good fried rice.
The place is tiny, but compared to other tiny Chinese takeout places, not stuffy and very clean. The hostess was very polite and I noticed that tables were bussed very quickly.
This area of SJ / Santa Clara can be really hard to find good "basic" Chinese takeout, but if you're looking for all sorts of bite-sized pieces of chicken, beef or pork in a familiar variety of sauces, this is the best option I've found within a 10 minute drive of PayPal.
Parking: You'll have to get lucky with curb parking on the Alameda or down one of the residential side-streets. All dedicated lots in the area are "X parking only", and this place has no lot of its own.
Wheelchair accessibility: No weird thresholds or floor warping, standard height tables with movable chairs. Sidewalk in acceptable condition.“

“Shang Cafe has been keeping up to their high standard, which speaks for itself. The food is delicious and portion is good. They are moderate in terms of seasoning and salts. But still manage to make the dishes delicious. They keep pushing new creations, which are usually good! Good job all these years!“

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“

“First time trying, didn’t expect to get attitude from the lady wearing glasses serving the food behind the counter. Walked in and patiently waited in line to order only for her to be fed up with us when we were about to order. Still ordered, just now tried a bite of the orange chicken and fried rice. It is pretty yummy and the portions served are perfect for the price. I don’t know what happened to the lady prior to taking our order and can understand if maybe something happened before we had arrived but it was a very unsolicited situation. Would go again for the food, but maybe not due to the service.
Edit: To answer reply, the lady we interacted with was asian.“
