Shanghainese Restaurants near Cupertino, CA

“I've gone here at least 10 times before writing this review. No one has a better Dan Dan noodle than dough zone, hands down. The spice and the flavor and portion are all unique to dough zone. Everywhere else I've gone has peanut butter noodles. Their XLBs are reasonably priced for 8 pieces and consistent in quality. I know I'll be happy with these XLBs no matter when I order the (morning, midday, night), which can't be said to other places. Love their pig ear, Q-Bao, wontons, steamed and fried dumplings--literally everything on their menu. My absolute favorite thing about dough zone is that I can order many dishes and get variety without spending too much or ordering too much (quantity). For the ambiance, it has a sleek/modern look, so it feels clean. One of my favorite places to go!“

“It's a wonderful homely restaurant with the best XLB I have ever had. The restaurant owner is sweet, the food is consistently great. We've had the XLB, Chilli Oil Wontons, sauteed green beans, Mapo Tofu, Chongqing chicken, Fried Rice with Chicken, Shanghai Chicken Noodles, Pork with glutinous rice in bamboo. It's the first place we take all our out of towner friends cause it is always a smash hit. Must try in SJ.“

“We came here on a Saturday night around 6 pm. There was no wait, but when we left there was a line outside the door. We ordered the House special and Lazy Guy. I liked the House Special better, because there was no pig intestine. We also ordered the fish soup with pickled mustard greens and the si gua with salted egg. One small of the dry pot can feed two people. Portions are big here. I want to try their stinky tofu and crawfish next time!“

“I was surprised by the large portion sizes. The waitress made great recommendations! Everything looks great, tastes great and this is a great go to spot I’ll go to whenever I am in town!“

“Take it from a Hong Kong kid...these are seriously legit zongzi that taste just like the cantonese ones I grew up with. Definitely above your typical market rates, but I promise these will be true to the OG flavors. It's mostly a food pick-up type of service where you walk up to a shared space and ring a doorbell to have an aunty bring out your stuff.Online ordering was how I did it, but you can also call/text an order over the phone. The ordering process is a bit unusual in that you have to plan these ahead of time (by about 3-days or so depending on time of week) then wait for a confirmation text on the day of. Unfortunately, impromptu cravings must likely be held at bay. Sometimes you can short-notice stuff if they have leftovers, but that's defintely a gamble. With either planning or luck, you'll then walk off with a hefty bag of deliciousness. You can have the option of getting them freshly cooked or frozen (for stocking up).The zongzi are well packaged and tightly wrapped with color-codings to the string to separate the fillings from each other. It's a bit cryptic, but you'll notice those correspond with the pictures on their ordering site. Descriptions of the fillings are true to their amount and pretty well packed with goodness (none of the mostly-rice-zongzi here).After cracking the first one open and taking my first bite, it was like that Ratatouille moment with Anton having flashbacks to his childhood (but like the Chinese version). Filled with delicious aromas and rich succulent glory, with not a dry spot in (culinary) sight. If that hasn't convinced you to at least try these buggers, I'm not sure what will!“

“I recommend EVERYTHING! Everything that I have tried is delicious!“

“Always dine in there. The dim sum is so authentic and, very important to me, handmade. (I personally dislike machine-made dumplings from supermarkets because they are too soft instead of chewy.) The ratio of vegetables versus meat in each dumpling is very reasonable and I’d like to learn their recipe.Besides their dim sum, I also like the cumin lamb, Hunan Spicy Pork, Salt & Pepper chicken wings, Fish Filet in Hot Chili Sauce and Seafood Spicy Hot Pot. I usually don’t eat too spicy food but these are totally acceptable and tasty. My friend sometimes adds remarks such as “light oil,” “less salt” and so forth. The chefs will cook accordingly.“

“The food is really close to salty pallet ( Shanghai cousin) . We really enjoyed the food. Meet with mushroom was tender and dumplings were juicy with thin skins. We also loved a steamed dumplings , also juicy and thin skins! Appreciate it! In the morning there are people waiting, but line goes quickly. We had 4 dishes for 65 $ . We took some food home.Parking: Parking for bikes also available“

“Another tasty restaurant to try different items. We were not too hungry, just wanted noodles and an appetizer. Shanghai noodle and cold mushroom with tofu. The noodles had a nice texture and I liked the broth. My husband would have preferred some lime with it and probably order with vegetables. The tofu was cold as stated and it had fun textures with peanuts and mushrooms. Probably bring more people next time to have more variety.“

“I think that their specialties aren't in their name. I recommend other dishes, such as Green Onion Pancake with Egg, or the Marinated Beef Pancake Roll. Service and ambiance are great. Plus, everything is priced reasonably. Overall awesome dine in experience!“
