Dim Sum Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“The food was absolutely delicious—we really enjoyed it and will definitely be back to try more. Everything tasted great. The only small suggestion would be to add a napkin dispenser on the tables, which would make the experience even better.“

“The food was quite excellent! But I have to take away one star for the drink which was really bad… and the straws I was offered were DIRTY and not single-packaged.

But the food was the highlight. The combination bao was excellent, and the siu mai too. I only regret the shrimp and seafood dumplings and or siu mai were not available! I wish I could go back to check those out.

I also recommend the chicken bao which was also good and fairly lean. You could feel the pieces of chicken so I guess it’s not made either cheap ground chicken but maybe tights.

I would go back just maybe watch the hygiene… and definitely do not stay but take away since the atmosphere is not great eheh“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“This is an authentic Taiwanese fast-food restaurant. It’s usually pretty crowded, and it can be hard to find a seat, so it’s probably better for takeout. The restaurant is mostly self-service and doesn’t ask for tips. The food comes out really quickly.

The prices are surprisingly affordable, and the food quality was way better than I expected. We ordered the fried dumplings, which are probably the most famous dish, and the fried pork chop rice. Both were delicious!“

“Dough Zone Dumpling House is a good, modern dumpling place that leans a bit “nicer” compared to your typical dumpling house.

The food is yummy across the board. The xiao long bao come out neat and uniform, with a clean presentation and great flavor.

The noodle dish is simple and satisfying, with a nice texture.

The beef noodle soup has a deep, rich broth.

Even the greens are done well.

Service is friendly and attentive, and a good experience from start to finish. The place itself is clean and modern, with a slightly polished feel.

It is a bit on the pricey side for what you get, especially compared to more traditional spots, but the overall experience helps justify it.

A good place when you want dependable dumplings in a comfortable setting.“

“Totalmente esquisto 🇵🇪🙂🌸 desde que llegue a California es la comuda oriental más rica ,su pato asado ufff“

“The momos are delicious. They were absolutely juicy, and the feeling was extremely well balanced, and they did not skimp on the quantity either. The chicken chow mein, on the other hand were below average. The quantity of chicken was less. The noodles were stuck together. The seasoning was lacking, and there were few vegetables then I like. I would skip the chow mein next time and just get the momos.“

“If you're craving a taste of Vietnam with a side of sweetness, savory, or both, look no further than this adorable bakery. From traditional Vietnamese snacks to mouthwatering baked goods, every bite is so flavorful. The family-owned atmosphere adds an extra layer of warmth, with the owners always ready with a smile and helpful suggestions. Let’s not forget their delightful addition of dim sum to the menu, making it a must-visit spot for any foodie looking for a little taste of everything.“

“This was my first experience at Scrumptious Dumpling in San Jose's San Pedro Square, but it won't be our last. Loved everything that we ordered, especially the pork noodles. Very attentive service from our server, too.“

“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 recently dined at Năm Giao restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by their bánh beo. It was not only delicious but also served piping hot, with the perfect combination of toppings. The crispy pork skin and fried shallots added a delightful crunch that complemented the bánh beo exceptionally well.While the Bún Bò Huế was good, I felt it could benefit from a deeper flavor profile. However, the highlight for me was the chili oil they offer—it was delicious, with a nutty undertone and just the right spice level.I appreciated the variety of options, including a cooling herbal drink, which added a unique touch to the dining experience. The restaurant boasts a spacious layout with plenty of tables, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Overall, Năm Giao offers a delightful culinary journey with standout dishes and a comfortable ambiance.“

“I picked up a Pig for my nephew 1st Bday...got some from the ribs ..meat was moist and delicious...what is expected and known flavors of BBQ pig..everyone like it. I found it would be perfect with steam rice since it was slightly on the salty end.“

“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“

“Ordered Crispy mapo tofu as appetizers, green beand and broccolini wok fry and vegetables dumpling in hot and sour soup.
All of them are.appetizer size. Between two of us, felt comfortably full. Green beans fry on the saltier side for our taste. Otherwise all the dishes are good.
Sat on the outside dining area, it was pleasant for end of September.“

“This is our go to Dim Sum spot, locally. It always great food. Sometimes the servers pass us by, but there’s these two ladies that ALWAYS come to our table. They get us what we want to eat. So, we’ll keep coming back!“

“I usually stop by every morning for their congee and sometimes try other dishes. The roast pork is consistently excellent, and the roast duck over rice never disappoints. The place might feel a little rundown and could use a deep cleaning, but that’s often the sign of truly great food.“

“I’d like begging from that: im kinda russian and Chinese food make me crazy.
Mr.SiuMai - thats is one of alot restaurants near by my house and i made choose for that place😍 Every time im getting delicious food and drink (fried rice with bbq pork and Puer tea my top1).
Staff is super friendly and keep clear this restaurant every single day. Liz is best of the best, she keeps warm my tea.
I’ll never tired calling my friends to dinner here. I love this place.“

“Dynasty Chinese Cuisine is a solid choice for dim sum, family meals, or larger gatherings in San Jose. The dining room is spacious with a traditional Cantonese banquet-style atmosphere, and weekends can get very lively.

The dim sum selection is one of the highlights, with har gow, siu mai, BBQ pork buns, shrimp rice rolls, sticky rice, chicken feet, and egg custard tarts. They also have plenty of Cantonese dishes for sharing, including Peking duck, seafood, beef chow fun, prawns, and steamed fish.

Service is generally friendly, although it can slow down when the restaurant is busy. Prices are a little higher than some smaller dim sum spots, but the large menu and group-friendly setting make it a good option.“

“I really like this bakery. I used to come here when I was a student and didn’t have much money, because you can get something good to eat without spending too much. I still like stopping by from time to time.

I definitely recommend coming early, ideally between opening and 10–11 AM. By around noon, a lot of the pastries and food can already be sold out.

They have a nice variety of Chinese-style bakery items and other familiar options too — sausage buns, green onion buns, coconut buns, sweet breads, and more. Good prices, good food, and plenty to choose from if you come early. Definitely recommend!“

“Dim sum is good especially because of the lower prices. I think the best times to grab something is in between breakfast and lunch. They get pretty busy. The bbq section is usually busy with long lines because typically there is only 1 person chopping up your meats.“
