    Price scamming

    Returned to this restaurant and still have not updated their website. Once again didn't honor the price for lobster e mein for $25.99. Very disappointed

    Review for to-go: My first time coming here since it became Blooming VIP. After this visit, I would want to come more often. Plentiful parking in the morning. When I went inside the to-go area, seen pretty clean and not messy, it was only me and 2 other customers, which were in the roasted meat area, and I was the next one in line for dim sum. I didn't get her name, but the lady was so friendly, nice and patient. Any item that I chose, she would pick from underneath and give it to me so I don't get the one on top that's been exposed. She said I was lucky too because the chicken feet she happen to choose had 5 pcs instead of 4! Lol. She packaged everything nicely and at one point, was disrupted by another employee about a missed roast duck order - that did slow her down, as a line was forming behind me but she maintained her patience and even joked around with me. Overall, the food was warm and plentiful for just under $60. I got about 10 orders. Tasty and good size as well!

    Loved my dimsum experience here! Food and service were both good. Came for dimsum on Christmas day and it was packed. Even parking was very hard to find in the lot, and we had to wait for a spot to open up. Luckily the restaurant was really big so my party of four didn't have to wait very long before we got seated. We ordered some dimsum dishes as well as some lunch dishes. All of the dimsum dishes were generally pretty good. My favorite was the fried shrimp egg roll. The steamed chicken feet was flavored well and skin was fall off the bone, beef balls were super tender, and shrimp rice noodle roll had silky smooth skin. Most dimsum items were in the $5.69 to $7.69 range, though I did see that prices are a bit cheaper if you come on weekdays (they have separate weekday vs weekend pricing for dimsum). Their desserts were really good as well. They were bringing around this giant pineapple bun which was supposedly invented by the owner here. I'm really glad we got one, as the mix of salted egg yolk, cheese, and pineapple inside went together surprisingly well. My favorite dessert was probably the coconut bun because it was super coconut-y. For entrees we got the lunch special dish, lobster with yi mian ($20.99), which we all thought was a steal. We really enjoyed the flavor of the noodles and thought there was a good amount of lobster for the price. We also ordered the kung pao chicken ($17.99) which had really good flavor and wok hei. We paid a little over ~$30 pp after tax and tip with some leftovers to take home, which isn't bad.

    Parking was the hardest to find on Thanksgiving. The parking is shared with the entire plaza. Some of my family parked near the recycling center and we parked closer to the market. Some people dont know how to drive and blocked the way. My parents got there early to get a table. We were sat inside a room with other tables and two gender neutral bathrooms inside. You order what youd like from a piece of paper and they will cross it off when it gets delivered. Food does take a bit of time to get to you, so be prepared to drink lots of tea. The bussers and runners were friendly and nice. The food came hot and steaming. In the room that we were in, they had the football game on. They did take a while to clear the finished plates and containers. Overall, we enjoyed a nice breakfast with family. Just hated the parking.

    Complimentary desert.  Coconut milk tapioca and  taro.

    This probably should be a 3.5 but decided to use 3.0 vs 4.0. The whole suckling pig is what brought us in but while the food is legit and there's no taste issue but they just didn't live up to expectations. The suckling pig is not something that you can get anywhere which makes this place unique but the pig we got could have had crispier skin. There are lots of private rooms here and they have banquet menus/options so you should still consider Blooming VIP. See my food pics and menu pics!

    Ended up here Sunday. Never been here before, but our other place was too crowded. I liked it. Decent service and the food came out fast. Nice portions and it tasted good. Prices are very fair. Great BBQ pork dish. No complaints at all and would recommend!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at VIP Blooming. From the moment we walked in, everything truly lived up to their name--VIP all the way. We ordered the 15 lbs king crab, and it was hands down the best. Fresh, flavorful, and worth every single dollar. You can tell the quality is top-tier. A special shoutout to Supervisor Max--top notch service. Attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. What really stood out is how well we were treated. All the staff are well-trained and truly know how to make you feel special. The service felt personal, warm, and genuinely welcoming--our family felt valued the entire time. We've now celebrated multiple birthdays for our children here, and they've always accommodated us with VIP rooms, making every celebration feel extra special and memorable. On top of that, our Frenchie baby Yema had just been spayed, and they were so kind and accommodating, making sure she was comfortable the entire time. That level of care meant so much to us. We live in Calabasas, and it's absolutely worth the drive. This is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. So happy we found a place our whole family loves and where we're consistently treated so well. We'll definitely keep coming back.

    Blooming VIP exceeded all expectations! We hosted a private room dinner here, and everything -- from the food to the service -- was truly exceptional. The dishes were beautifully presented and packed with flavor, each course better than the last. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of, making the whole experience feel seamless and special. The private room was elegant and perfect for an intimate gathering or celebration. If you're looking for a place that delivers amazing food, top-tier service, and a classy atmosphere, Blooming VIP is the spot. Highly recommend!

    Solid food! Truffle siu mai, very hot (temperature) and generous amount of bean curd wrap, and delicious chicken feet!

    For a Chinese restaurant service pretty good! Quick and efficient, solid dim sum. Clean and spacious. Though I hear it gets really busy on weekends, I came on a Friday morning and it's perfect to get some hot dim sum without the crowds! No carts, just a menu you can order from. Would come back!

    Recently came on a Tuesday night for my dad's birthday. They have a promo going on for the pig and lobster. Food was really fast and service was great as well. Inside is clean and remodeled. I definitely recommend in 626 area if you're looking for some chinese food!

    Our family had booked out a banquet room. I was really eager and excited for some delicious SoCal Chinese, but unfortunately, this meal left a lot to be desired. Our poor server (not his fault!) was left as the only staffer in our room of over 40 people. That made getting drinks much slower... we didn't get water until the fourth course in. Warning- I would not recommend their scallop fried rice. My cousins and I all agreed- it wasn't great. Maybe most redeeming was the walnut shrimp? Both duck and chicken were very bony and not filling.

    Slow service like hell. Have to keep repeating my order for them to make it. 2 hours for just 1 item to come out.

    Definitely a spot you come to on special occasions as it is pricey. We came with a reservation for…read more9 people, and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

Other than lobster plate we ordered their walnut shrimp and salt and pepper pork. Everything is delicious. Service is fast too which makes dining easier.

I'm sure you can find something for yourself or order a couple of items if you're going with one other person or a small group as well. Made a reservation for a group of friends that meet up for a meal from time to time and this restaurant is perfect for that dynamic. When we got there, I checked and and we were seated right away. It's not often I get to go to these full service banquet style Asian (mostly Chinese) restaurants but I miss going to them as a kid with my family. The service from the folks who sat us and the ladies taking our order was great from the beginning. So friendly! For myself, I got some milk tea to wash down all the delicious food we ordered. Although we didn't do any of the specials that required ordering a day or two in advance (the braised morel and chicken soup or the winter melon soup), I think we ordered really well! As a group, we ordered: -Sauteed water spinach with spicy bean (needed some veggies) -Cantonese style mapo tofu (classic) -Spicy salt shrimp -Chestnut and chicken in clay pot -Lamb and bean curd hot pot (soup) -House special Vietnamese style lobster (more than 5 lbs), with added noodles I thought everything was tasty and just having a variety like that in a sizeable group makes this type of dining experience such a delight. We splurged a bit with the lobster and without it or per person cost probably would have been a lot lower, but sometimes you have to splurge and with a dish like the lobster here, it's a good one to do so!

It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

The staff are great, communication wise, it was a good service. They don't hover around your table. They let you eat in peace then check back every now and then.

This is on my list to go especially for a weekend out.
