The store is in very bad shape. There were 6 bags of some sort of building material piles up right at the entrance. The ceiling was painted to red may be not long ago. There were two drops of the dried paint on my table. The floor tiles were dirty. We need a high chair for my grand daughter. Fortunately my daughter brought clean wipe to wipe clean the chair first. The wipe turned to black. That is how dirty the high chair was. We been given paper bows and trays. All food came in plastic container. Being dealing with plastic in my over 35 years of career, I never use plastic container for hot food since you never know what the plastic could release. The drinking water taste worse than the tab water in my house. For someone that has been drinking RO water since 1985 this water is more than terrible. I believe all food was cooked with this water also. How could they be good!! The parking lot was a big mess also. They accept credit card or electronic payment only. What does that tell you about the neighborhood!! This is a place I will never go back to.

Ordered online for pick up and upon getting there to pick up our order, my husband calls to tell me, the lights are all off and no one was inside. However, online it said they were open. We called with no answer. So we were stuck having to find a last minute alternative! Horrible!****Adding to my previous review since the restaurant responded to my original review so gracefully and professionally. (Sarcasm)I would not give this place a second chance after seeing how they treat customers and potential customers.What a shame, looked like it had a lot of potential but I'd rather wait in line at din tai fung and pay the money knowing I'll get a great meal, a great time and impeccable service.A note to whoever responds to these, get off your high horse & reevaluate your responses to your lowest reviews, maybe you're the reason your own staff would even think to sabotage your business. If you can't take the constructive criticism, get out of the kitchen!

Very yummy and big XLB, no complaints here. I had the pork noodle soup and it was lacking flavor, so maybe dumplings are the focus area of awesomeness here.

Super laid back, good music. I saw that some people didn’t like the vibe, but I dig it. It helps that the food was great!

Mingle's MangoThe Bay Area's dumpling scene has a way to go but as locals find relief from the lines (and elevated prices) at Din Tai Fung, a few competitors have sprung upMany of the strongest contenders are in the East Bay, specifically Fremont, and Mingle's Mango is no differentLike the interesting name, Mingle's Mango is notable for having a second San Jose outpost that is known for its barren decor in contrast to their themed Fremont spotIn all honestly, the strip mall spot appeared abandoned and the sign even looks a bit like graffitiBut inside, there is table seating although all items are served with paper plates and utensils like a popup or food courtThe food is a highlight with creative combinations of soupy dumplings with slightly thicker skin that combine quality ingredients with great flavorI'd skip the Wagyu beef noodles next time, but I look forward to trying all their dumpling varieties at either this hole in the wall spot or the Fremont locationIt's not NYC Joe's Shanghai style (skin not thin enough), but for the Bay Area, it's a nice alternative to our only location of the smaller size DTF XLBKurobuta Pork XLB (2pc) $3.99 ~ Steamed Handmade Berkshire Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings served with Sake white vinegar / NewBee XLB(2pc) $5.99 ~ Steamed handmade kurobuta pork soup dumplings with creamy garlic crawfish served with lemon / California Wagyu Beef Noodle Soup $20.99 ~ Homemade noodle in Non-MSG broth with half pound Cailfornia Wagyu Beef and bok choy, half crispy egg, cilantros, and green onionMingle's Mango (San Jose, CA)Mingle's Mango accepts credit cards including AmEx and is indoor dining only.

The XLB, treasure box are very authentic and owns classical flavors. However the Szechuan noodle is too salty.

gosh, i hate to give this place three stars but it just missed the mark in several different ways. i will say that i don’t generally care if a place is shiny clean but it was just a bit neglected in many places. the staff was friendly though but beyond bringing water out just let you order with the QR code and left you to figure it out. i ordered some of my go to dishes and when they came out i was somewhat surprised they arrived in to go containers and the dumplings on a paper plate. the taste of everything was good but not great as the flavor was just not entirely exciting.

Their soup dumplings is good. I tried their frieza, the best value in bay!

First of all the place stinks, and i dont know what they served, the noodles were so hard, chicken wings were soaked in oil and no flavor in it, and then the pork and shrimp dumpling had uncooked shrimps inside, a slimy thing came out after the first bite. I requested for a refund but they needed me to bring the food to get the refund. Bad food, and worse customer service.After they replied ---- I clearly remember i was late by maximum 45 min, nothing gets spoiled within 1hr, so stop using this as a cover. And yes you said to bring the food for the refund, but that was not possible since i threw the food, this is a lesson for me, i now need to keep the bad food as a proof. Due to these reasons i said to keep the refund. No one wants free food, this is just your defense since you cannot back your bad food. No matter what the place really stinks, and I am never gonna order from this place again.If I wanted free food I wouldn't have posted this review, this is to make everyone aware of your food. And the type of reply you gave again shows how you treat your customer.
I constantly stop by getting some food in this spot. I enjoy the speedy service and well made food. Never disappointing.

I would not recommend this place at all, we were in line waiting to order our food with a few other people, and we were ignored. We banged on the door and the cook ignored everyone. We called and we saw them look at us and the phone and ignored it. If I could give this place a negative rating I would. I would recommend going to Ocean Delight Seafood restaurant hands downtown the best Chinese food in San Jose.
