Cantonese Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“First time here, and I very much enjoyed the experience! There's complementary tea and nuts to munch on if you dine in. The brisket noodles also came with a broth that gave the dish a refined deconstructed Chinese ramen vibe with a delicate flavour. The service and portions were superb, and I look forward to coming back!“

“Decent Cantonese food, which means not spicy and maybe even a bit on the bland side. I got takeout and the restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall next to a UFC gym. I knew it had to be good because it was a chaotic small hole in the wall type place packed with only Chinese people.
I really liked the beef chow fun, salt and pepper pork chop, and the Chinese broccoli with garlic. Portions were very generous as well.
I’m not sure if I’d ever dine in the restaurant but I will definitely get takeout again.“

“One of the Cantonese dim sum restaurant in Cupertino that captured my palate. My must visit restaurant whenever I am back in this part of the world. Not only they serve good dim sum, but also Cantonese dishes. Fried rice and chow mian are equally great too. Always loved to be speaking Cantonese with the staffs! 👍🏻“

“I wonder why this place only gets 3.8 stars? Service was quick and efficient, prices were reasonable, food was well seasoned and flavorful!

We weren’t here on a Tuesday night and seated right away. Waiter brings us tea and menu right away !

The daily specials were a great deal to order. A whole yellow chicken for $18.99! And It was very tasty.

The dry fried flat beef noodles is another good dish to order! We will love to come back again to try other dishes on the menu!

Parking: Free and big parking lots.“

“Food is good and service is nice and warm. I will bring friends come again definitely!“

“Kicked off the New Year with a fantastic dinner at H L Peninsula, and it did not disappoint! This spot offers classic Cantonese-style seafood dining in a traditional Chinese banquet hall setting. The food was affordable, the portions were generous, and everything we tried was packed with flavor.

We ordered the vegetarian and egg fried rice along with the spare ribs—both were absolutely amazing. The spare ribs were tender and full of savory goodness, and the fried rice was the perfect comforting complement. Bonus: the leftovers kept us happy for days.

We’re already planning to return to explore their seafood dishes, which looked incredible on other tables. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Cantonese dining with portions that deliver, H L Peninsula is a solid choice.“

“We've been coming to Kirin since the 1990s when we first moved to the area and were introduced to the restaurant. The comfort food they have is familiar, like shrimp & eggs over rice, Congee, dim sum dishes, steamed fish.

“The food is amazing. We go there every week, but it’s not all about the food. Sandy and her staff make us feel like family. We truly appreciate them! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Delicious little hole in the wall dumpling place, serving hot Chinese food in a dimly lit restaurant. :) You know it’s a great sign when you see older Chinese aunties in the shop window expertly wrapping hundreds of dumplings.

True to its name, the dumpling selection on the menu is expansive and all the dumplings are really good. They also have other things (non-dumpling) on their menu. There were definitely a few standout dishes and a few I thought were just okay.

GREAT (would order again)
- hot and sour soup
- salt pepper chicken wings
- salt pepper fried fish
- soup dumplings (xiao long bao)
- spicy wonton dumplings
- stir fry green beans
- pretty much any dumpling on the menu, they’re freshly made!
- egg yolk and boba black sesame balls

Just ok (wouldn’t get again)
- pan fried soup dumplings (shen jian bao)
- green onion pancake
- chow fun (noodle)

I think this is one of my favorite places for soup dumplings now. The soup had great flavor, the filling held up well, the skin was not too thick or thin and didn’t break easily. The other standout on the menu were the black sesame balls, filled with hot gooey sweet yolk and boba. They were freshly fried and amazing! They’re not on the regular menu and was a special when I came here (May 2025)

This truly is a hole in the wall place located in an unassuming plaza, so it was quite dark inside and the seating and bathroom was limited. Come for the food not the ambiance.“

“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.“

“一家以粤菜为主的中餐馆，咕咾肉，干烧明虾，叉烧烤肉味道都很不错“

“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!“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“This review is for Sunday dim sum. Solid 4 stars in my opinion. We arrived at 11:30 am on a Sunday morning, right at the peak of any dim sum restaurants busy hours. There was plenty of parking in the area, even at this time. As a small party of 2, we were sat within 15 minutes. Larger parties were waiting about 20-30 minutes.

There are no more carts, instead items are made to order and brought out by servers on large trays. You fill out a menu card complete with a full picture menu - helpful if you're not sure of what you're looking for, and be sure to get a waiters attention as soon as you're done. The dim sum is fresh and made to order. I'd say the quality of the food is very good, better than average, but nothing really stood out as outstanding. Lei's fulfilled our dim sum craving and I would recommend this place and already have a date set for coming back.

Wait staff is attentive and prompt. Food is decently priced and comes to your table hot and fresh. The variety is very good and you're sure to find your favorite Cantonese dim sum delights.“

“The dim sum portions were all quite generous, and everything tasted great. It’s definitely worth trying a variety of dishes. The only downside was the BBQ pork bun—the dough was a bit tough and could use some improvement. But everything else was absolutely delicious!“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“My favorite authentic pot rice place in Bay Area. Clean and easy order via phone. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Good tim sum. The baked char siew pow (sweet barbecue pork buns) is nice. Siew Mai is very meaty. Noodles, thin or flat ones not too bad. The century year old porridge (congee) is very meaty, an 8/10 rating. A repeat if in the area.

“Food is super authentic hong Kong cha chaang ten food. Got the traditional baked rice dishes, as well as common HK dishes like beef chow fun, congee, etc. service was ridiculously fast. Ordered three things and within five minutes of ordering, our dishes were on the table , piping hot.

Really appreciated the "happy hour" menu which goes from 2;30 pm to closing (midnight), which offers a really good deal on pricing, with drink included. The portions are smaller than if I didn't order from the happy hour menu but still pretty decent size for a serving. We had leftovers. Also the menu for happy hour is pretty extensive, has all the classic dishes which were the same ones I was going to order anyway.

They accept card but will be 3% extra charge. Otherwise cash is totally fine.

Saw lots of people eat in at all hours as well as many people ordering takeout.

Would def come again for both dine in and take out to feed my HK classic dish cravings!“

“The service sucks, if you're not speaking the same language, good luck getting taken care of in a timely manner. I guess when it's the same day in and day out, you're just fed up with customers 😒
The food is still great, been going here since they opened. The prices in the last few months have jumped drastically, and its $15 for a combo box, I remember when it was $8.
I still remember that you could also sit and eat inside before Covid.
The portions of the dim sum, are huge, and packed full with shrimp, pork or whatever you choose.
Overall, I'm still going back here, as the food is fantastic 😋“
