Dim Sum Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“Wanted to have a nice outdoor lunch here again since we haven't been in a while. We noticed the menu was smaller new menu with photos. We ordered the garlicky green beans which we love, Tom Yum Goong dumplings which were yummy, Xi'an Dumplings vegetable were tasty, Pork Gyoza were very good and unique crispy toppings and shrimp garlic noodles were good but a little too creamy for K.“

“A decent restaurant that opens late! A great place to get quality food.

The crab roe Xiao long bao is so creamy! The juice is solid. It's expensive, but it's really worth it! I would skip the pork buns. They are so so.

Nice atmosphere, clean tables!“

“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!“

“Went for a special birthday lunch. Sat outside. A warm day, but comfortable in the shade. Server was very attentive and made great recommendations! Everything was very tasty. If you're a large eater be prepared to spend a bit.

Parking: Downtown San Jose, Parking Garage available across the main street from the restaurant which is down a closed side street.“

“My family's favorite place for dim sum lunch. Lunch combos are cheap for the amount of food you get. Love the noodles & the fish porridge and every dim sum we've tried tasted good.

Personal preference, but these are the types of food services I prefer. Get in & get out, no frills, no thrills, just hand me a bag of good food and be on my way.“

“We came here from Florida and wanted to try something unique. The food here is delicious. This picture is all we have left from 3 containers. We are full and very satisfied with the food. And the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this to travelers and locals alike.“

“0ne of my go-to places for take out dim sum in the South Bay. Good Soy Sauce Chow Mein, Shrimp Dumplings, Pork Dumplings, Sticky Rice, Black Bean Spare Ribs, Taro Balls, Turnip Cake, Baked Pork Buns, Big Chicken Buns, and the lunch specials are a deal. I like their jook or rice porridge- both are good. They use skinny rice noodles, which I am not a fan of for Chow Fun. Other restaurants make Chow Fun better (like Top Cafe). They now take credit card payments! The ladies speak English enough to take your order, just be patient and point at what you want.

Parking: It can get crowded in the parking lot, be patient if the lot is full. People come and go, because of Lion Market and other dining places to eat.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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!“

“Been going to this place ever since i was 4. Used to go almost every Sunday after Church. Always a 5/5. Service is amazing and are super friendly. I’m currently 19 and over the years my family has come so often and have been treated so well that we know a few workers by name. Always choose over Din Tai Fung.“

“This place is geared toward takeout. So no ranking for the atmosphere.Food are generally great especially custard (蛋塔) , baked BBQ buns (叉燒包), turnip cake (蘿蔔糕). The exception is sticky rice (糯米雞) is huge is volume but lack stuffing.Do expect a line in the morning and sold out for top selling item by early afternoon.“

“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.“

“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“

“Very delicious food and nice place“

“Came here on a recommendation. To my surprise the food was good. I order only a few dishes as I was the only one having dim sum. I order the pork ribs, egg tarts, durian puff and ham sui kok. All were hot, delicious and generous portions. My friend order the tomato beef chow mein HK style. This place makes me wish I live in Cupertino.“

“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.“

“Tonight, I told my girlfriend on a whim that we wanted to eat Hong Kong snacks tonight! So I found a shop that also sells Hong Kong-style snacks in the evening called Mr. SiuMai. This is a diligent shop that opens at 8:30 in the morning and stays open until 8pm in the evening.
It is located next to Jinlong Beef Noodles. The store is very bright and clean. There are many seats inside. There is no charge for ice water, hot tea and tableware. You can use the machine to order or ask the clerk to order. You can tip as you like without forcing. Parking is easy here on weekday nights, but I don't dare try it on holidays. I'm afraid that the crowds of people dining at Golden Dragon on holidays will make parking difficult.
There are many dim sum options. Tonight, I ordered fried rice rolls (fried dough sticks wrapped in rice rolls), chicken siomai, xiaolongbao, carrot cake, and pork custard buns. Then I ordered another order for my husband, a small portion of togo dry-fried beef river, fried noodles, and steamed beef hundred pages. After packaging it, we brought it to the table to taste it and then packaged it back for him.
Overall, the taste is very good, and you can eat it here if you want some snacks in the evening. You don’t have to go to a famous store early on weekends to queue up for tea. It’s great! I recommend it to everyone. I hope that people like me who want to have snacks after get off work at night will have a good place to find food.
I will order porridge next time, and I will also see chicken feet and lotus leaf chicken...etc. Big eyes but small belly, save it for next time.“

“The cuisine is a large dish type. The appearance and taste cannot be considered excellent. But the price/performance ratio is pretty good! The service of the service staff is very good for Chinese restaurants in the United States! The service is very attentive and there is no need to wait, and they will ask questions proactively. Because the attitude of the waiters made the overall atmosphere feel much better!“
