Delicious!!!!! Went here today to get my 99 year old mom and her caretaker some lunch today. The service was quick and attentive as it has been in the past. I ordered the beef with onion and the lamb with onion dumplings and on a whim the beef huoshao. First of the soup dumplings are so super delicious! Little pillows of tasty meat in a soft wrapper that explode with flavor as soon as you bite into them! The Beef Huoshao was absolutely wonderfully delicious! It can 9th be described as a Chinese hamburger. A patty of seasoned beef covered by a rich flaky crust! I could eat a thousand of these, well maybe not a thousand but definitely a lot of them! You gotta try the Beef Huoshao and the dumplings here. So delicious!, The ambiance of the restaurant is very casual. Love this place and will be back soon! read more

Tastes like comfort. This is what you're going to get when you dine at Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling. The Beef Huoshao was phenomenal. The beef patty was juicy. The skin was crispy and chewy. 100% should order this. The Lamb Noodle Soup had a deep lamb flavor that probably took the restaurant years to perfect. I wanted to drink up every last drop of the soup. One downside was that I felt super dehydrated after the meal and I think it was because the soup had a lot of salt. We also ordered the Three Deluxe Dumplings. The inside of the dumpling was juicy while the skin had a nice chewy texture. I don't normally enjoy the thicker skin dumplings but these were good despite being thicker skin. We also ordered the Pig Ears as an appetizer. They were okay. The seasoning was not over-powering, but the actual pig ears were not that crunchy. Would probably skip this dish next time. read more

Nice food, love to be here. I like the beef Huoshao, it's convenient to buy the frozen ones and just heat it up at home

Came here with my dad on a random weekday. Place was empty except for a few other people. I love how they have every menu to look at underneath the glass on their tables. pork and beef huoshao (5/5) -- crispy, juicy, flavorful, not greasy, very fun to eat. I managed to eat an order's worth and probably could have eaten more with extra vinegar/soy 3 deluxe dumpling (3/5) -- very clean in flavor and juicy though the dumpling skin was a bit too thick for our liking and the distribution of the three deluxe components was poor Their specialty is definitely the huoshao and I would return for that just for a snack. If they sold those frozen, I would buy a bag to bring home. read more

All That and Dim Sum Mom-and-pop run dumpling and noodle house that's been in operation for over ten years (ca.2014) and makes all their goods here in-house. Their specialty is the Huoshao (aka Shaobing) dumpling, which is almost like a croissant and dumpling had an illicit tawdry--but tasty--affair, and this was the fruit of their efforts. Crispy, flaky, buttery, and filled with tender, sumptuous meats. The very definition of food porn at its finest. The Good: *Prices are incredibly reasonable; we ordered ±$50 worth of food and had enough to take him for my son for his lunch, and some munchies for later. *The Huoshao are worth the hype and at least one order, if not three. *Don't sleep on their housemade noods, as they were fabulous as well, with a great chew. *Lamb in the "Lamb Noodle Soup" was tender and delicious *Their more standard dumplings were also delicious, as well. Handmade tender sacks of deliciousness. *Friendly service The Meh: *While the Lamb and Noods were delicious, the broth was a little weak for my liking. But a few drops of the concomitant table soy sauce and chili oil, and it was much, much better. *No alcohol The Ugly: *Restaurant is small and cramped. Not a great place to bring a huge group of folks. Conclusion: Dumpling cravings will be satisfied. 'Nuff said. read more

Food: * The Huoshao is a pan fried bun with meat filling. Perhaps it's just me, though seems similar to an empanada :). The huosbao are best when eaten fresh though also delicious on reheat. I got the beef huoshao and highly recommend. * Lamb dumplings (pan fried) - just the right amount of crisp and the meat was so savory, amazing! Service/ambiance Staff are friendly and I appreciate that you can see them making the dumplings. Usually I order takeout but the transparency is appreciated. read more

Before my buddy suggested coming here for lunch a while back, I had never even heard of Fuji Huoshao. Not all that surprising, considering how I don't live around here, but, after we ended up eating elsewhere, I made it a point to bookmark this place for the future. Between his recommendation and all of their positive reviews on Yelp, they already had two things to help them stand out from all of the other noodle and dumpling spots around this part of San Jose and Cupertino! Now, while I'm sure there may be other hole in the wall joints in this part of San Jose and nearby Cupertino, Fuji Huoshao is definitely the smallest one I've come across so far. Inside, the restaurant is equal parts homely and snug, with just a half dozen tables. Similarly, the menu looked relatively modest, but it actually had a decent amount to offer. In addition to an assortment of small plates, they also have a mix of noodle dishes (both dry and soupy), a handful of soups, dumplings (boiled or pan fried, which costs $1 more...), and, of course, their signature huoshao that you can get with either beef or pork. -- BEEF HUOSHAO This wasn't too shabby, though, it wasn't particularly impressive either. Each piece had a nice, golden brown color to it and the filling was quite juicy. That being said, the dough felt a little chalky/dry and the filling wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would. -- PORK WITH CABBAGE DUMPLING There wasn't anything wrong with this, but I'd be hard pressed to say it was all that unique either. Each dumpling was decently plump and I liked that you could actually discern the pieces of cabbage, but the taste of this was oddly bland and watery. -- NOODLE COOKED WITH MEAT SAUCE As fantastic as this Zha Jiang Mian looked, the taste of it fell short. On the plus side, the noodles were great and I liked how it came with a good amount of cucumbers. However, not only was it super salty, but something about the sauce felt off, too (not sure if it was the black bean base or the meat). Considering how so many folks seem to think so highly of Fuji Huoshao, part of me can't help but wonder if we didn't get the right things or if we happened to come on a bad day. Either way, there's no question that my experience was pretty underwhelming. Perhaps I'll be back one day and will end up having a better meal than what we had this time. Although, given the sheer volume of restaurants in the area that I've yet to try, I can't say it'll happen anytime soon. TWO AND A HALF STARS (generously) rounded up. read more

The best dumplings!! I also always get their lamb soup and it tastes so good. Fresh and made with love. The service is great too and the owners are so sweet. read more

Always saw this place open whenever I was getting coffee right next door so I thought I was bound to try it eventually. Inside is small and the menu is simple. Dumplings can be bought hot, fresh, or frozen and if you want 50 frozen dumplings at a great place, I'd definitely stop here. So for the food, the huo shao isn't all that impressive. A little heavy on the pastry to filling ratio. However the dumplings were the star of the show, specifically the beef and onion. The beef and onion had so much more flavor than the pork and cabbage, even though those were plump and juicy. The three deluxe dumplings tasted very similar to a siu mai considering it was a combination of pork and shrimp. Although I didn't know about this option prior to ordering, another customer had all of his dumplings pan fried and I would definitely try that next time. The staff is super friendly and don't forget to ask for the chili oil. Overall, this is a little hole in the wall place serving up delicious dumplings. Go check them out! read more

Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

I've visited this spot a few times now and let me say service and quality of food has been consistent every time. The Huoshao is fried perfectly, the dumplings have a great ratio, and the staff are friendly! The lamb soup is light and clean, and the noodles are hand-pulled...win! Portions are good and filling Interior wise, it's a bit on the smaller side but 1: has a clean, minimalist vibe that isn't overwhelming and 2: feels spacious with their use of clean mirrors. Price is pretty fair , for one person it's roughly $20 but you'll still probably end up with stuff to take home. They also have frozen huoshao for $15 (10 pieces) so it's easy to stock up for the airfryer at home. read more

Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling - Menu - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Great, authentic food. We ordered their signature pork huoshao, lamb noodle soup, noodle with meat sauce, and three deluxe dumplings. Both noodles were great, and the handmade noodles had great texture. The lamb meat was flavorful and tender. That being said, we wished there was a bit more soup in the lamb noodle soup. The huoshao were filling and crispy, and the dumplings were generously stuffed. Fuji huoshao is a small shop with a handful of tables inside. Service was extremely fast and welcoming. You can also see employees hand-making dumplings at the counter. Prices are very reasonable. read more

My boyfriend says this is literally the only place you find this kind of food and lol if you scroll down enough or maybe even the next review, you'll read his for a more in-depth and detailed review on this type of cuisine. I can't comment much about my own knowledge, but if something is good, I'll just eat it and this was a great place to get lunch! It's a small, family owned restaurant, but you can tell that it is popular with the locals as most of the tables were filled. Service was very polite and helpful and very efficient for how many tables there were. We got the: 1) Cold noodle with meat sauce: -This reminds me of the black bean noodles, but as a meat sauce you get way more meat to it. It's a bit denser too because of that, but still pretty good. Nice and filling for cold noodles and comes with generous portion of thinly sliced cucumber to add some crunchy texture as well. 2) Lamb soup: -Nice big hot bowl of lamb soup. -Soup broth had a strong lamb flavor to it and there's a good amount of offal and some cut scallions in it too. -Decent dish. I'm not the biggest enjoyer of offal, but I was able to enjoy a bit of it. 3) Beef Huoshao (6 pieces): -Honestly my first time trying this dish and it's really easy to eat. Not offense at all. -If you have friends that like empanadas or Hot Pockets but wanna try something more "exotic" this is a great dish to suggest to them or to order when you take them here (cuz apparently you can't get this anywhere else!). -To me, they remind me of less flaky, chewy pate chaud which has more of a croissant breading and a bigger beef patty inside. -These huoshao are more flattened but have a nice weighty denseness to them so you don't feel like you're gonna starve after. The breading outside has multiple layers and these pieces taste good dipped in soy sauce and vinegar. I'd go back again! read more

Came primary for the dumpling. And the curiosity of their HuoShao 火燒, typically a northern China thing. So we ordered those. Then, why not, tried their lamb scraps soup 羊雜湯, meant to be the soup of scraps of lamb. Dumplings were quite eatable. I will come again for those. The others were not remarkable, yet not bad. I probably wouldn't do the soup again, it was very diluted from flavors. Guess this is a good place for simple comfort foods for a non-stressed meal. Many came for their frozen to-go items. I can see the appeal. The problem is that category (simple comfort Chinese foods) is now very crowded in this area. read more

This was the first time I tried the huoshao. it was like a meat pie in a flaky dough. I liked the fact that it came out piping hot. Having said that, I prefer the beef roll myself. The shredded potatoes was good. The skin of the dumpling was on the thick side. It was a decent meal but not spectacular. read more

Hidden gem with the best huoshao I've ever had! This is hands down my favorite place for huoshao--an absolute hidden gem! It may look small from the outside, but the flavors are huge and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The huoshao here is unlike anything I've had before: perfectly flaky, crispy, and packed with flavorful, juicy meat. They also offer a great variety of side dishes, noodle soups, and dumplings, so there's always something new to try. If you're into authentic, comforting food that's both delicious and affordable, this spot is a must-visit! read more

This place has no competition. No, like literally, I am not aware of any other restaurant in the entire country that serves huoshao. If you google huoshao in English, you literally only get this restaurant. In short, if you go here, you are basically getting a regional cuisine that you cannot get anywhere else in the English-speaking world. I think by default, this place gets five stars by virtue of being the best restaurant in the entire country in the cuisine they specialize in (as they are the only such restaurant). That being said, it helps that the restaurant is also pretty good on its own merits as well. Unsurprisingly, Fuji Huoshao and Dumpling specializes in huoshao and dumplings. Huoshao is a meat pastry from inland Northeast China, apparently supposedly popularized by the Manchu maybe. It's traditionally eaten with lamb offal soup - sometimes translated elsewhere as Chinese Haggis (which is honestly a bizarre translation) which they conveniently also serve. If you were not familiar with the cuisine, you might even mistake it for fusion food - which it is in the sense that almost all food starts out as fusion food (see e.g., Japanese curry). Pretty much most of the items on the menu are authentic traditional foods from Northeast Chinese, so mainly pastries (like dumplings and huoshao) or noodle dishes. I am not sure if they have rice on the menu, but it'd be probably pretty weird to order rice here. Their huoshao is actually interesting to me - it was a lot flakier and puffier than I traditionally have had it. So arguably it's a fancier, tastier huoshao. I guess that's their unique improvement and it's pretty good. The lamb offal soup was good. It's pretty much what you expect, definitely simmered for a good amount of time to be flavorful. Gets the job done. I had the zajian noodles, which was filling and tasty. It was also a unique dish because it was kind of a halfway point between Korean-style jajangmen and the Shandong-style (aka the kind you typically see in Chinese restaurants). I can't completely tell, but I think there's a nice soybean paste that gives it better flavoring than usual. Highly recommended for hungry people! I say this in the best possible way, but this is actually a pretty good place to take friends who don't like Chinese or Asian food to - precisely because it's so authentic. Minus the dipping sauce (which is yeah, soy sauce and vinegars), Northeastern Chinese food isn't really categorized by many of the same taste palettes or staple foods that characterize other Asian cuisines. The cuisine is also...not particularly popular in China itself, so it's not that easy to find. So definitely a place everyone should try out, even picky eaters! Hope to go back soon and have the dumplings too! Definitely recommend everyone stop by this once-in-a-country opportunity dining experience!! read more

Oh my goodness. This is so good for a noodle soup. It has the essentials. Broth, meat and noodles. There isn't anything glamorous about this meal. It is for the simple days. The times when days are rough and you need a warm hot broth with chewy noodles and lamb. The lamb of the free. Home of the brave. This is for the days when you feel like your heart is in need of warmth. When on a cold winter's day, your mind starts to think, is Christmas coming yet? Then you come here (before 8pm) to feast on these noodles. Only $14 or $15. And just look at all that meat. By the way. The lamb dumplings are amazing. Game changer.

Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling - Lamb noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Cash only for frozen dumplings sale and under $25 purchases is the biggest bummer here. The service is excellent. It was quiet lunchtime when I arrived at 1 pm with no customers, but the restaurant looked clean and organized. There were two ladies wrapping dumplings as I made my order, and they asked me to wait while the cook made the fresh huoshao. They were courteous and friendly while I stayed there. They offered me to sit down, waiting for my takeout. It's my first time here, and I was curious about their huoshao, which seems to be a semi-fried/baked pancake with meat inside. You can choose pork or beef; each order comes with 6, but you cannot mix and match, which is a pity. I picked the pork one and could smell the freshly fried smell when the order was delivered. So, it passes the fragrant smell test. When I tasted it, it was okay; I wish there was more flavor in the meat filling, but I also hope it's not too salty. At the same time, the filling needs to be more pungent in taste since the dough is mostly bland flour. They also sell frozen dumplings; a bag of 50 is around $30 and a box of 30 is $25. but they're cash-only, which is uncommon nowadays. read more

Small cozy restaurant serving traditional Chinese food with only a few things on their menu. We tried their lamb noodle soup, and a plate of their huoshaos and I can totally see myself really wanting this food on an especially cold day. The combination of soup with huoshaos is incredibly hearty and the food comes out quite hot. The lamb soup had a decent flavor, but I wish there was a better ratio of soup to noodles as it comes in a relatively small bowl with a lot of noodles so you end up eating way more noodles than soup. The huoshaos are quite flaky and meaty and really fill you up after just eating one. Overall enjoyed the food and quick service. Next time I may just get the soup itself instead of the noodles. read more

Love this spot. Parking was free and easy in the lot out front (entrance on Miller Ave). A small restaurant but a decent amount of seating inside. Simple menu, easy to follow. We ordered for takeout, and service was super friendly and helpful. And our food was ready in less than 15 minutes. We got the beef huoshao, three deluxe pork, chive, shrimp dumplings (pan fried), and lamb with onion dumplings (pan fried), and all of our dishes were cooked perfectly and had really great flavor. We especially loved the beef huoshao, which were like flat flaky biscuits of goodness (reminiscent of pate chaud vietnamese pastries, which we love). I also really liked the lamb dumplings, not too gamey in taste, which made it rather delicious. Honestly, everything was good, so I'd certainly return for the same dishes, and try more on their menu too. read more

Saw they sold beef huoshao and had to try it. Also saw a video on yelp that showed how crispy they are which made me want them more! I placed an order (1 order comes with 6 huoshao) for pick up as I needed to pick up the kid right after. As soon as I got there, the worker immediately greeted me and said he would be right with me. He finished up with the customer in front of me and then asked how he can help me. Right before I finished telling him I am here to pick up my order he already remembered and packed it for me. The transaction was was and easy and I was off to pick up my kid. Before I left the parking lot I had to take a quick bite. It was good, but the not as crispy as I thought and some pieces were a bit dry inside. I would say about half was dry and half was decently juicy. If there were flakier and juicier I would be back. I was hoping to love these, but they were ok. read more

I wish there's Chinese characters on this Yelp page. My sister insisted wanting to show me Fuji Houshao 福記火勺 and I mistakenly thought it's was a Japanese restaurant. The signature dish is huoshao or 火勺 aka "Baked Wheaten Cake" in English. It's a flat bun filled with beef or pork, which is very new to me. I was here because of lamb Mutton soup aka lamb inners soup. The soup has a uniformed taste either meat or inners. I have tried both. We also tried pork chives 猪肉韭菜 and pork with sauerkraut 猪肉酸菜 dumplings. They are freshly wrapped and very tasty. It has little bit of soup in each dumpling. I only found out when I tried to take a video as I split open the dumpling. I took one bite and dumpling is gone. Overall, service and food were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and yes, I shall return. Oh, remember, it closes between 2:30 and 4:30 daily. read more

I was at my friend's house when he brought out a plate of dumplings from Fuji, claiming that they're the best frozen dumplings in the area. He's a bit of a foodie and has been known to drive around searching for good eats, so I knew I was in for a treat. When my mom requested dumplings a few weeks later, I suggested Fuji so I pick up some frozen ones for a quick weeknight dinner. But then we discovered the huoshao! I've had various forms of meat wrapped in dough but this was a new one for me and I enjoyed it! The outside didn't taste too oily and the flakiness was lovely. As for the dumplings, we ordered my go to, the three deluxe, and the pork and cabbage, pan fried. However, I ended up switching my frozen order to the pork and cabbage since I encountered some hard chive pieces that I thought would annoy the rest of my family. The wrapper to filling ratio is excellent. I tried all of the vinegars that were at the table, but the filling is very flavorful and I didn't feel like I needed anything extra. I served our leftovers to my children for dinner and I knew we had a keeper when my daughter exclaimed, "I want to eat these forever!" read more

COVID-19 TAKEOUT Sometimes it takes a little inspiration to finish a draft that's been collecting dust. So, this morning I woke up after having a wet dream of hot AND juicy... DUMPLINGS! And, I then I remembered the ones from Fuji Huoshao & Dumpling, and my car does too. I thought I had in-car dining down with my steering wheel food tray and wetnaps.

Like a Chinese fried mini hot pocket. On both visits, I ordered the huoshao and unfortunately, I'm not a fan of them.

The food was ok. We ordered: - Pork huoshao - wasn't a fan of these, they were a bit greasy and had a non-Chinese taste to them (butter, perhaps?). The pork filling was like a bland minced onion flavor. Was hoping for a juicier filling. - Three Deluxe Dumpling (Pork, Chive, Shrimp) - disappointing. Tasted like boiled from frozen, the skin wasn't chewy or fresh tasting, and the filling was bland (couldn't taste any chive flavor). No dumpling sauce is provided, only sauces in packets (boo). Still love the dumplings from Dumpling Depot the most - Pork with Cabbage Fry Dumpling - it costs $1 extra to fry the boiled dumplings. Was hoping for a yummy potsticker, but the fry didn't really add that much crunch or hardness to the dumpling and the filling was bland. Still like the potstickers from Apple Green Bistro better - Minced Cold Dried Bean Curd - The dried bean curd tasted a bit old (wasn't soft and chewy) and the flavor was bland. Can't compare to the other cold dried bean curds from other restaurants read more
