Dim Sum Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“Love this place. Have loved Dim Sum for many years. Now I have my go to place.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“Came here for a casual date night on a Friday. Place was pretty empty for a Friday which meant we got seated right away, and staff was friendly throughout. Portions run small so plan to order more than you think you need. Still a great value. For the food itself:

The Dan Dan noodles are the move. Oily, salty, spicy, and the Sichuan peppercorns actually numb your face and stick around. Makes sense they're the most popular thing on the menu.

Chicken xiao long bao were good but the broth inside was weak compared to other places I've had them. Still good though.

Chicken potstickers were well executed, good crisp on the bottom, but nothing standout about them.

Sweet and sour cucumber was a solid starter and looked nice, but the slices were too thick to actually be able to rip out.

The egg fried rice is really good. Oilier than most but that's exactly why it works.“

“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 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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Fast service, nice ambient, delicious food. Highly recommend chives dimsum, black bean stir fry string bean and stir fry rice cake (No photo was too busy eating) It was my frist time here but overall very satisfied and definitely will return“

“been coming here for years since i was a kid with my mom, its always had good food and good prices. some items are oily but delicious. the staff are not very talkative, but they have always been very fast and overall nice people whenever I go.

Not a lot of seating, more of a to-go restaurant.

I feel some items stand out more, the fried shrimp balls and the chive balls are my favorite“

“Had a really great experience at Dough zone! The cucumbers and green onion pancakes are amazing and so are the dumplings. We have tried the noodles and fried rice as well, and they are good too. Looking forward to trying more of their menu next time!“

“Was looking for dim sum in Mountain View so this Castro Street location fit the bill.

Pros: Ample free parking behind the restaurant and plenty of seating for our 11 am arrival today (Saturday). Was fun to have the traditional cart service for dim sum again. Service was friendly and efficient. Good variety of dishes.

Cons: Most of the food was cold! That was disappointing. I guess it’s one of the trade offs of cart service.“

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

“Went with a group of 10+ people to have dinner in this restaurant that is well known for its Cantonese-style roast meat (pork, chicken and duck etc.). As such, one of the dishes that was selected was barbecue pork and roasted duck. The ordering experience was good as our group members interacted readily with the manager on duty on the choices of dishes to order. At the end of the meal, everyone was satisfied with the food as well as with the overall price charged for the meal. However, one must be prepared to talk louder as the noise level of this restaurant may be considered a bit uncomfortable for some.“

“Fabulous food and service was fast.“

“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.“

“We went there on Christmas Eve to have a family dinner. We ordered the family dinner set for over $400 package. It was delicious ! A lot of food and also have left over to take home ! The service was excellent. I also celebrate my birthday there. We had an amazing time.“

“Kirin is our go to place for Chinese food! Very delicious, with fresh seafood and great service. The restaurant is bright and clean and great for larger parties also. Plenty parking in the back. Favorites are the crab, lobster, honey walnut prawns, and the variety of vegetables such as pea sprouts and green beans. Looking forward to coming back again and again!“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“We came with friends. Love their soup dumplings, all pan fried buns, chill beef and all vegetable dishes.Great food and service as usual. I have brought different groups of friends. They all love the place and keep coming back. I love the settings decoration and background music. Great places to bring families and friends.“

“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 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.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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.“

“So good! my family and I shared a couple items. soup, cucumber salad, chicken sandwich and 2 types of dumplings. Everything was amazing! I'll definitely be back!“

“Excellent food with an amazing service... I'll BE BACK!!! I'm 49 Jon Oldcastle Nike Hottest BOY...“

“I’ve been coming here for years! The food is delicious and dumplings are better than Ding Tai Fung. Best place to eat dumplings and without the crazy lines! It’s a small dive but I personally think that it’s quite
charming.“

“Love Dumpling Time in Santana Row, but it was Jaylen's and the rest of the servers' phenomenal service that really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, quick, and overall provided excellent service. The rest of the servers were great too, but Jayden was our server so he's the star of this review here. Dumpling Time was smart to have hired him. We will definitely come back, for the delicious food, the amazing atmosphere, and for the service we received here today.“

“Can’t find you a better deal. Rice plate 2 item bbq for $12. It’s a $20 min for credit. No min for debit. The roast pork should have better skin, since the one here the skin didn’t crackle all the way thru so it’s a little tough. But the meat is super tender. The roast duck is not as fatty and it’s super flavorful“

“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.“

“It was a small place where it is understaffed. The atmosphere was fair typical family owned Chinese restaurant. The food was quite good to my surprise. The dim sum was hot and above average the price was extremely reasonable. It was our first time there. We spent $45 per couple including tips of 20% for the value is the best I’ve seen in the South Bay and the food was definitely better than many other dim sum restaurants.“

“Good food and very clean restaurant“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“I’ve been coming here for dim sum for a while and it’s always a great experience. The dining hall is very spacious, and even on weekends there’s usually little to no wait, or the line moves pretty quickly. The seafood dishes are also well done—slightly on the pricier side, but worth it.

This was actually my first time coming for dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised. I expected more of a “fine dining” style with small portions, but the portions were very generous—the fried rice was literally like a small mountain!

One thing that really stood out was the service. We ordered a vegetable dish that had a couple of carrot slices, and when I tasted one it seemed a bit off (slightly sour). They immediately made us a brand new dish without carrots, no questions asked. They even gave us complimentary longevity buns.

We were also celebrating a friend’s birthday—bringing our own cake, singing, and candles—and they didn’t charge any extra fees. The staff helped us light the candles and even played a birthday song, which made the experience extra special.

Overall, great food, generous portions, and excellent service. Definitely a go-to spot for both dim sum and dinner!“

“They offer a great variety of pastries, focusing on northern Chinese-style baked goods. Their prices are reasonable, especially for my favorite dumplings. They often have additional promotions.

Parking: It's at a huge plaza. There are plenty parking spaces.“

“I'm pleased to leave this review, as judging from the unassuming building I thought to myself, ah a nice like early 2000s vibe family restaurant with some traditional dishes. I'm sure i'll leave with a mental 3 stars and be happy I got some dim sum. The atmosphere is just as predicted, tiny cups, screaming kids, a coke in a can.. Just as I sat down I was greeted by my first cart. I was filled with joy by the food, and as the service kept coming, I was blown away. They were so kind, I asked if they had a certain kind of dumpling and the lady left her cart at my table and went to another cart and got me the exact thing I wanted. My water stayed full and the food came at a great pacing for me. I dont want to set your bar too high, this is a NORMAL DIM SUM place. It's 5 stars because the food is exactly as it should be, and the service is above standard. ALSO the value for the money was perfect.“

“Most dim sum spots around me were closed by 2:30 PM, and it was already close to 2, so my buddy and I decided to try Mr. Siumai.

Walking in, I noticed they have two self-order kiosks, which is a plus. The place is remodeled and has a more modern, contemporary feel compared to before. Same location, different name.
Then I saw the prices. $6 for 3 pieces of siumai!That’s $2 per piece, which is honestly wild for a mom-and-pop dim sum spot.

We ordered duck, fried rice, siumai, shrimp rice rolls, chicken feet, and a few other items. The siumai was just okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The fried rice was good. The chicken feet were solid.The shrimp rice roll came out without the usual sauce it’s always served with. When we asked, the staff just pointed to the soy sauce on the table. If you eat dim sum regularly, you know that’s not the same sauce.

Overall, the food was hit or miss, and the pricing doesn’t match the quality. The remodel looks nice, but higher prices alone don’t justify average dim sum.“
