I would give zero stars if I could. We walked in and there were plenty of open tables. However, we were told we would have to wait 10-15 minutes for a clean table. But what's funny is, she started setting up another table. What's even more funny is we were the only people there. read more

CaiE Oriental Asian Bistro - Pov: me after the way I was treated - Dim Sum Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Caie in the Legends shopping center in Sparks was our lunch stop on a Saturday after a quick visit to Scheels. Parking was easy since the restaurant sits a little away from the busiest part of the center. We were greeted right away and seated as soon as we walked in. The dining room is large with an open layout and plenty of room between tables. The decor follows a classic Asian style with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and themed pieces throughout the space. Service was warm and attentive. Our server checked in often, stayed on top of drink refills, and answered questions without hovering. We ordered a mix of Chinese dishes and dim sum. The dim sum stood out and ended up being the highlight of the meal. The main dishes were less consistent. The calamari felt heavy with breading, and the pot stickers, while flavorful, didn't quite hit the mark. The fried rice and duck were both on the salty side. Overall, the place is comfortable with kind service, solid dim sum, and a few dishes that could use a lighter touch. read more

Went in on a Monday just before lunch. Place was empty not a sole except the server and a cook. Service was amazing, knowledgeable staff that explained the menu. Got the all you can eat dim sum, portions were big, everything tasted amazing. This place is super cool inside, great atmosphere. Would go again if ever in Reno/Sparks again. read more

The beef we got had a nice kick to it, but the flavor was messed. They had no one inside. I bet if they had regular customers. The food would be even better. The shrimp dumpling amd the shu mai were pretty goof..I would rate thay as a 4 for reno. They furniture keep the place spotless. When I went there the staff member was even cleaning the windows and the waiting area seats. The cashier was super helpful and super friendly. She said to get the eff custard bao fried next time, but must be eaten fresh. So take out won't work. It was pretty good, but could tell it was probably steamed a little bit ago. The price is decent. About average for dimsum amd asian cuisine. They should do special events or host holiday things to get more attraction to them. Would help drive in members. Like a moon festival set or new years set. People love those and must be reservations. If they advertised this gs like that. I bet the community would love to experience that. Overall its not bad Would go again, but we rarely eat out. Also there's plenty of parking , just beware those people coming from the backside. They tend to speed a little. read more

Came back for a second time today to try some different items on their menu. We were sat immediately and we got to choose where we sat. Started off with some fried chicken pot stickers followed by ribs. Pot stickers were really good and the sauce on the side was delicious. The ribs have a bit of bite to them but not too spicy. They were pretty good but I don't know if I'd order them again. Just personal preference. My main meal was the black and pepper beef with steamed rice. Delicious! It had the perfect amount of pepper and sauce. Everything comes out fresh, hot and quickly. read more

Pretty solid local option for take-out. We did not dine in on this visit, but the dining room looked lovely. The only drawback for me was upon my initial impression, they forgot 1 item, almost 2. The gentleman than greeted me had a plastic take-out container in his hand when I said I had an order to go - turns out that was my mandarin chicken, and it wasn't in the already tied to-go bag for me. When I got to my car, I decided to check, and learned my hot & sour soup had also been forgotten - but at least I was still in the parking lot. We ordered a ton of choices for our family of 4. Hot & sour soup, house chow mein, mandarin chicken, lotus rice, Phoenix paws, shrimp dumplings, and sesame balls. Kids loved the house chow mein, sesame balls are always good, shrimp dumplings were very good. Phoenix paws weren't our favorite - good flavor not not our favorite texture. Hot & sour soup is prob some of the best we've EVER had, and I'm super glad to have Caie in our neighborhood as we approach winter for good soup! Overall, aside from almost leaving without a couple of items, I think all entrees should include steamed rice, especially when the order tops $100, but I guess that's not the case. I think we'd like to return for AYCE dim sum, and that hot & soup will be a chase the cold away staple for sure! read more

It was so bad I through it away. They couldn't even make won ton soup. $100 down the drain.

This is the second time we ate at this location. The first time received five stars due to the exemplary service we received. This time the food took much longer to arrive and our appetizer was delivered well after our main dish. This was disappointing. Hoping they might comp it, but they did not. With that said, the food was still just as good as the first time. This time we ordered the peppered beef. I prefer the tangerine chicken, but this was good as well. The restaurant was clean and spacious. They also offer karaoke nights if that's your thing! We will return again in the future in hopes of better service and timely appetizers. read more

I went in with family around noon. It's quiet Afternoon, with couple of groups of people, but it took a while for the server to take our order. we had one person walk over to the cashier to place the orders. Sorry no picture this time, Grandma at the table .... Respecting the elderly... no phones at the table. We ordered hargow ( shrimp dumplings) , phoenix paw ( chicken feet) I'm not a fan of chicken feet, didn't bother eating it, peppered tofu, egg custard buns, shu Mai , sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf ( my favorite , I had 2 of these, ) shrimp Chang fen , not too bad, little soggy, could been better, walnut shrimp and chow mein. The chow mein is little salty, I added sweet and sour sauce to help with the salty taste. read more

Update: I'm happy to report happier times here. I've been back a few times for lunch since I was working nearby recently and I'm glad I gave them another shot. Dining area was clean along with their restroom. They've made some changes for the better. Simpler menu, wait times have improved and their service as a whole is better. Chinese food is a guilty pleasure of mine and I'm glad I gave this restaurant another shot. Their prices are reasonable and their food is served hot. Lately with my cheat meals, I'll stop by here and order chicken chow mein to get my fix. I've tried their lunch specials as well. It's a great deal and worth checking out if you're nearby and in the mood for Chinese. I look forward to returning in the near future. read more

I really liked this place. The staff were really nice and the ambiance was inviting. Our food was really good too! The Rangoons were my favorite. I like that it didn't taste like straight up cream cheese. Really unique flavor. This will definitely be a new spot in our rotation when visiting Reno. read more

I feel like is ok basic dim sum. The price for all you can eat $30/person is steep. Not much items for the all you can eat dimsum. I added sticky rice but it was additional not part of the all you can eat. Items that are, is Chinese not dimsum. But over all. If you don't want to drive over the hill...ita ok. The soup was too spicy for me to eat but came out fresh. read more

CaiE Oriental Asian Bistro - Dim Sum Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

CaiE Oriental Food has officially become my go-to spot. The food is consistently amazing, served fast and fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Great portions, friendly staff, and fast service. Great ambiance and family friendly. You really can't ask for more. 10/10! read more

Well, we just moved to the area and was driving around and found this spot, as we were walking we were kind of skeptical because it was dinner time and there was literally NO ONE in the place, we all get that feeling of "I wonder why there is no one here, is the food bad, service bad?". We sat down they were promptly to our table getting our drink order, then they took our appetizer order and main course order. Services was great. We had the calamari for appetizer, which was pretty good and crispy, I like mine less chewy but that is just my preference, was still really good. I had the honey walnut shrimp, this can be a hit and miss at places and this was actually really good, great flavor. I hear the Dim Sum is really good here, will try next time! read more

CaiE Oriental Asian Bistro - Dim Sum Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Decided to finally check this place out for some dim sum after hearing mixed things. Ordered a spread of the usual suspects: har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, steamed rice noodles, and char siu BBQ pork buns. First off, the flavors in the har gow and siu mai were definitely on point, but the textures? Not so much. The siu mai was super tender, but the filling had that overly smooth, almost springy bounce. It wasn't bad, just... very uniform. Every piece was nearly identical in size, which made it feel a little too "perfect." If you've had dim sum from those bigger chains, you know what I mean. The har gow was a miss for me. The wrapper was thick and slightly gummy, but also fragile enough to fall apart the second you touch it. That usually means it's been steamed too long, and it didn't give me that delicate bite I expect. It worked in a pinch if you're looking for something quick and savory, but it wasn't great by any means. Chicken feet, though? 10/10. Seriously, this was the dish that stood out. Sweet with just the right amount of heat. Texture was on point, and you could tell they put more effort into this one. Felt like the real deal. Now, the steamed rice noodles were a bit of a letdown. It was missing that rich soy sauce flavor that brings this dish to life. The shrimp inside were small and, frankly, didn't have that juicy bite you expect from a proper shrimp noodle dish. The char siu BBQ pork buns were probably the biggest disappointment. These were the steamed variety, not the golden-baked style that I love. The filling was minimal basically just dough and the ratio was all wrong. Way too much thick dough, and barely any meat or flavor. Felt like a missed opportunity, honestly. Overall, this spot feels more like a production-driven, high-volume operation than a small, authentic dim sum house. It's not terrible by any means, but there's a definite focus on consistency over craftsmanship. I actually found out after the fact that the restaurant is connected to CaiE Foods, a dim sum manufacturer that supplies places like casinos and hospitals. That explains the uniformity in the dishes, but it also gives it that "factory" vibe. If you're just looking for quick, reliable dim sum with familiar flavors, sure, it'll work. But if you're after something more delicate and handcrafted, this spot won't be pulling me back anytime soon. It's good for a fast fix, but I'm not exactly craving a second round. read more

First and foremost, terribly understaffed. They only had two servers working and the 3rd person came much later. We stood at the door with a line forming. No one greeted or apologized for the wait. Zero acknowledgement. Even the customers who were seated felt bad and offered their table. Once the 3rd server came, it started to pick up. The food is good. The dim sum was alright. I don't think the all-you-can-eat dim sum is worth it. But the main entree made the wait worth it. Portion size is good but they are more family style. If the wait isn't long, I do recommend this place. read more

Our whole family had lunch Caie Oriental Asian Bistro last Sunday; this was our initial visit to this location but my mom and I had dined with them when they were at their South Meadows location some time ago. We arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before it had opened for lunch service; we waited, then proceeded inside after 11 am. We stood by the entrance, the restaurant was empty except for the staff busily working in the kitchen but after a minute or two, the gentleman that would also serve our party, walked through the door and seated our six-person party at a round table near the bar, in the back half of the massive dining room. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, it had ample seating to accommodate both small and large parties plus a private room tucked away in a corner. The round table we were seated at had a massive lazy Susan, perfect for making dishes accessible to everyone at the table. The gentleman dropped off place settings, menus and water at our table, and gave us time to peruse the menu. When he returned, we place our food orders: a bowl of egg drop soup, pork siu mai, salt-and-pepper chicken wings, potstickers, chicken egg rolls, Shanghai mini steamed buns/xiaolong bao/soup dumplings, lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice, char sui pork, walnut shrimp and two orders of fried rice. We received our food a short while later, most of it was correct but we were missing the egg rolls. We received a salted egg filled bao and a couple extra orders of sticky rice by mistake and had to re-order the chicken eggrolls again (the server said they may be out of it which made me a bit skeptical since the restaurant just opened). Halfway through our meal, we placed another order of the salt-and-pepper chicken wings and the pork sui mai. PROs: a majority of the food tasted good, the portion size was decent, the restaurant was spacious and the service was attentive at the beginning of the meal. CONs: (1) When we received the hot, metal steam basket that contained the dumplings, some were stacked in twos or three, and there was no safe way to separate them without burning your fingers/hands. (2) We got our 10-piece order of the potstickers which were all crammed together in one tiny steam basket and the dumplings up sticking together. (3) The potstickers were just steamed dumplings, not true "potstickers". Potstickers are a type of dumpling prepared by pan-frying and then steaming, resulting in a signature crispy bottom. (4) We were never offer drinks other than water and didn't get refills. Overall, we had a good dining experience, BUT there is room for improvement. The server provided adequate service but it couldn't be helped since at the time of our visit, the restaurant seemed understaffed (additional staff appeared an hour later). I don't think the restaurant expected as big of a crowd as they got that morning; the chef, kitchen staff and lone server that morning seemed a bit overwhelmed. Some customers ended up leaving. PRO-tip: don't show up exactly at 11am, it would have been better to wait until quarter to twelve or right at 12pm when the restaurant was fully staffed. Even-so, I asked everyone in our party and they all agreed that the food and service were decent enough to warrant another visit. read more

Great yum cha/ dim sum! Service was on point, high standard service with a great take on what someone can order if it is their first time. The location itself has plenty of parking, is spacious, not loud and a great space if someone would like to have an event, or simply enjoy a night out. Very surprised they weren't busier, considering they have delicious menu items, the menu is not overwhelming, and they have plenty of space for larger families. 10/10, our new go to spot for great quality dim sum and speciality Asian dishes, all for an affordable price considering the quantity. Love this place! read more

Food is mediocre and service is only ok. Dim sum is limited. You can find better food elsewhere

I brought my Dad to Caie for his 70th Birthday celebration and it was the perfect restaurant to host with the great service, private dining area, and wonderful food options for even the pickiest eaters (my kids)! We went on a Sunday night and it wasn't very busy, so our server was doubling as the bartender. He was very friendly and accommodating and made sure to get us our orders quickly, providing recommendations and guidance throughout our meal. Caie and her husband were also in the restaurant and came over to say hello and check in from time to time. There is a private room towards the back of the restaurant that we had booked in advance for the event, and I like to mention that because it's nice when you have a larger, quiet space at a restaurant where you can talk and celebrate without bothering other restaurant patrons. There were 10 of us so we ended up trying a lot of different items from the Menu. Everything we tried was delicious and we didn't leave with any leftovers! Even the kids left happy with the Orange Chicken, Chow Mein, and Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings. The adults tried several of the Dim Sum options, Hot & Sour Soup, Mongolian Beef and Honey Glazed Salmon. I'm sure I missed some, it was quite the meal! Caie capped off our meal with an entire tray of complimentary dessert pies. Great experience from start to finish, appreciate the hospitality Caie and her staff showed to us, which made our celebration dinner even more special. Can't wait to come back again to try some of the other dishes! read more

We came for the AYCE dim sum, it was good but the options for AYCE are minimal. We also tried their A La Carte items: Chicken Paw, Pork Rib in Black Bean Sauce & Honey Walnut Prawn. The Chicken Paw could have been more tender, but the pork and prawn were good. I would go again if I'm craving some dim sum. read more

Was excited to try this place. My 10yo loves dumplings and good ones are hard to come by in Northern Nevada. Walked in, no designation where to check in to get a table. So we walked back to where the register is, two different waitstaff asked how many to our party and let us choose an open table. That's as far as we got. They were the only 2 wait staff working and totally ignored us. No menus, nothing. So after 10 minutes we left. Maybe one day when we're back in the area we could try this place again and maybe next time we'll actually get to order. read more

This is probably the place to go in Sparks for barbecued pork buns. The dim sum menu is relatively limited compared to some Bay Area places, of course. I've also had several entrees (chicken chow mein, broccoli beef) on several occasions, but quality has not been consistently good, given the price. read more

This review is for the AYCE dim sum. For $30/person it may sound like a good deal, but the limited select for AYCE kills it. You only get to choose between siu mai(pork/chicken), buns(pork/chicken), veggie eggroll, hargow, potstickers(pork/chicken). Sad thing is none of these items are really that good. There's a sushi restaurant that makes better potstickers. There are also inconsistencies between the menu and order sheets. Where as the menu lists pork eggroll, the order sheet only has veggie. Also the order sheet says only 2 orders of hargow per person. I mean if they want the AYCE dimsum to work they really need to include the whole dimsum menu, otherwise 30/pp isn't worth it for the quality. It's always a sad feeling when coming into this space because it's a big space but hardly anyone is there. Back when it was Fuddruckers, it was packed. Previous location back on Damonte had same issues. For a casual meal I'm sure this place is ok, but if you want good dimsum I'd stay away. read more

Almost killed us with unlabeled food. Pork shumai contains shrimp that was not on the menu description at all. Waited 40 minutes, took 1 bite, almost died. Waited another 20 minutes just to get the bill. 1 hour for that experience. Partner with no food allergy said the food was good tho. Our server was very nice as well, 4/5 stars. THEY CHARGED US TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR TWO DR PEPPERS WHAT??? read more

This place is empty for a reason. The food is NASTY to say the least, service is awkward and not good. Save your money for gas instead.

We stopped by for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food and service was! Formerly a Fuddruckers at The Outlets at Legends Shopping Mall, Caie Oriental Asian Bistro is a gem. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, food was fresh and delicious, the large dining area is cute with some nice Asian touches, and our server was attentive. I really enjoyed our lunch dishes: green beans with shrimp and white rice, tangerine crispy chicken with fried rice. Both dishes came with a bowl of yummy hot & sour soup, two pot stickers, and complimentary crispy won ton skins with sweet & sour sauce. We really liked the side of siu mai, too. We can't wait to come back and try more of their food! read more

I really wanted to love this place... I TRIED to love this place. The decor? Delightfully tacky in that "we definitely serve great food" kind of way. And honestly, the food is great... until you realize everything is drowned in tap water. Our meal started off innocent enough. We ordered water and tea. Rookie mistake. The water tasted like it came straight from the faucet of disappointment. The tea? Just hot tap water in disguise. Our sweet, well-meaning server gently nudged us to switch to bottled drinks (no ice, for the love of God). I appreciate the honesty, but that's not exactly the sales pitch you want to hear. The chefs are absolute magicians! The food looks stunning, the flavors are spot-on... until anything that involves water crashes the party. Soups, sauces, anything remotely liquid - all haunted by that lovely chlorine flavor. It's like a dish seasoned with regret. From what I gather, this isn't news to the owners. Apparently, fixing the "everything tastes like a pool" issue isn't high on their to-do list. Oh, and if you venture toward the bathrooms, you'll pass a charming display of clutter and chaos - a makeshift office that really ties the whole experience together. I fully expect a curt, defensive reply from the owner but unless the reply comes with a Brita filter it's a hard 1-star from me. read more

Absolutely delicious! Staff is courteous and friendly. Will definitely go again love the dim sum

We have been here once before but it has been awhile. Not a very busy place. Service is good, very attentive. I think they need more advertising to get the word out. It's a great location being within the Legends Mall area. Food is good. We did family style and ordered a bunch of things and shared. Their house fried rice is very good too. We took that home as leftovers as we our eyes were bigger than our stomachs! Give this place a try and leave a review so the word can get out there first others to try it!! read more

1/14/2024- 2024 is the year of the Dragon for me... but I have had terrible choices .. Wanted to really enjoy since the last visit... Pros: 1. Not too busy.. 2. Service was very attentive and friendly! 3. Served a bowl of deep fried won ton strips and sweet and sour sauce to snack while waiting.. 4. You are offered a to go box- declined.. Cons: AYCE menu: Read closely: Soup OR drink included.. Not both- go with the soup, drinks are $4.50 each.. Don't assume you can pick off the main menu and are restricted to the AYCE menu.. Hot & Sour soup- not to my liking - tasted more of sesame oil.. We were debating of going with the Chinese food and a few dim sum plates, but we were really craving dim sum.. The pork buns I was expecting with the typical char siu pork and the red sauce.. Nope.. The steamed bun was just dough with a scoop of ground pork.. Honestly the pot stickers har gow and siu mai all tasted the same.. very very bland.. For $74.00 totally not worth it.. Really tried to enjoy.. Maybe the Chinese food has better flavors.. read more

Wow, just, wow. I have been determined to find a GOOD dim sum place here in Reno, and I think I finally found one! CAIE is real-deal dim sum, made fresh to order, and it's delicious. It's right up there with some of the good dim sum I've had in the Bay Area, SF, and NYC. I ordered the sticky rice, sui mai, and rice noodle with bbq pork. They were SO good. The sticky rice was just sticky enough with great ingredients inside. The sui mai was fresh - like I could tell that it had just been made. It was the best thing I had. The rice noodle was good too. I ended up getting the sesame balls for dessert because I was so intrigued and wanted to try it. I tried to get the standard dim sum dishes and they did not disappoint. The server was super helpful and he recommended this spicy sauce with jalapeños that the owner makes - a must have. The place is large and nicely decorated. I was pleasantly surprised and so delighted to have found this here in Reno-Sparks!!! It's my new go to! read more

A MAJOR step up for this restaurant...they're now 5 stars in my book! As I said in my previous review, the Dim Sum is delicious...that hasn't changed and that's what I was there for again. What HAS changed is the service and the atmosphere. The changes that have prompted me to gush about this place? 1) The atmosphere has improved 100%. As I said before, the last time I went in, it still felt like it's previous incarnation as a burger joint/sports bar. The addition of a "pagoda" style top over the bar has single handedly changed that. It makes me feel as if I'm in an Asian themed restaurant. Also, they're now playing their background music at a reasonable level (and it was playing the entire time I was there) as opposed to my previous visit. 2) The service was OUTSTANDING! I was informed that the entire wait staff and the manager are all new. My waitress, Cassie, is a perfect example of the professionalism of the new staff. Her service was totally on point...she's warm, witty, extremely efficient and very helpful...all with a fabulous smile. She made my visit very enjoyable. I plan to be a regular now that the previous issues have been fixed. You should drop by to see what I'm talking about...you'll be glad that you did! read more
