    THE MOST DISGUSTING CHINESE FOOD I have ever tasted! First off, their taro shrimp cakes stated there was pork for the single order, and the bulk order stated only shrimp, taro, and scallions... I called before placing an uber order for the item. The person who picked up said it was a mistake and to call back tomorrow. I placed my uber eats order for: Mongolian beef (way too spicy and meh meat), sizzling rice soup (which I never received the soup/broth for and a foul smell coming from the seafood solids that did arrive), taro pancakes (which were mushy yet burnt and tasted nothing like a seafood pancake), crab Rangoon (yet another extremely pungent smell with what appeared to be ravioli that was deep fried to look like a wonton wrapped), and shrimp dumpling (with an extremely thick dough and rubbery shrimp). Gross! Do not go here!

    Ginger cafe is a pretty cool restaurant that offers a cool combo of Chinese/fusion food and...dim sum! If you are looking for this sort of combo, Ginger Cafe is the place for you! Food is decent, not super pricey, I would come back.

    Great ambiance, very quick service. We ordered 2 lunch specials. Chicken chow mein and Basil Chicken. Basil chicken came with a choice of white rice or egg fried rice. Chicken tasted great, flavorful with plenty vegetables, but the egg fried rice was a lil bland and dry. Chicken chow mein was very well done, chow mein had right texture.

    Was craving some chow mein and this was the perfect spot! We each got a lunch special and enjoyed our dishes. Our waiter was attentive, the food came quickly, all around great service.

    Ginger cafe is a neighborhood family favorite! Any time I'm visiting my grandparents and we want dim sum, we head over to Ginger Cafe! We have eaten nearly every dumpling on the menu and we have tried many of the entrees as well. Everything we have tried is tasty and of great quality. The service is always quick and friendly too, which is quite a bonus! If you're looking for an Asian restaurant with excellent dim sum, Ginger Cafe is your spot!

    Easy to find and easy to park here. I'm very familiar with the location in Gilroy so I was excited to try this location too. The menu looks the same. I got the crab cake appetizer which was kinda mediocre like a regular crab cake in a won ton wrapper - not really very crab tasting. The squid ink lobster dumplings were really good. Also they had lunch specials so I got my favorite shrimp dish as a lunch special and it was a good portion of food for one. I did the upcharge $1.50 to add a salad and it was a pretty generic salad and covered with fried bits so I'd probably pass on that. The soup they serve it with was decent.

    We utilized Ginger Cafe's catering services and beverages package for our wedding on 1/6/2024. Their food was so delicious that everyone who attended still talks about it today. Not only was their food delicious but their service was top notch. The servers would approach us (the bride and groom) during cocktail hour to make sure we had the chance to eat the appetizers. We were served first during dinner to make sure we had enough time to eat before getting busy with everything else. They made sure that we were well fed throughout the night. (The photos in this review do not include all 10 dishes and 3 appetizers that were offered but trust that they were all delicious!) Not only was service great on the night of, but communication was great leading up to the event. Bo went above and beyond when there was miscommunication with the venue about whether they could cook on site or not. We are so grateful for that because we wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. Overall, we would highly recommend Ginger Cafe to our friends for their catering services alone. We will definitely stop by the restaurant every now and then to try out the rest of their food!

    The vibe is fabulous Chinese cuisine restaurant in Sunnyvale. The decor is modernized. Love the circular seating architecture in the middle as well as the traditional seating at theentrance waiting area. Ben warmly greeted me on the phone. Needed dishes for takeout. Promised my guests fabulous Peking Duck. Ginger Cafe makes fabulous Peking Duck. It's a reproducible culinary phenomenon. Had to impress the women. Shhh. (French accent) Ze duck was splendid! Isn't that right ladies? Needed a Beef dish. ('Cuz it should be what's for dinner.) He recommended the Beef w/ Potatoes. Went with it. It was flavorful! A touch of pepper. Hearty. But don't tell anyone. I slipped in some Drunken A5. The dish turned celestial. And the ladies agreed! They sang out like angels! The Dim Sum Sampler was also delish! Eye catching & yummy! Love Ginger Cafe! Thanks, Ben! Would order everything again! Woohoo!

    The food is very disappointing -- as bad as it can get. The Shrimp dumpling skin broke when I picked it up. I'd call it "fake Chinese Food".

The combination of meat, veggies and the exterior crispy pancake created such an outstanding tasting effect. The lamb dish had one of the most tender meats I've tasted. The brown sugar sticky rice cake was soft inside and hard outside; with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was ok. They should've been kinder and more grateful.

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later.

We stopped by for dinner with a large group of friends and family for a celebration on Friday. We had specified to our waiter that toddler is allergic to eggs and had asked him which dish does not contain any egg. He seemed flippant about my concerns, but eventually suggested beef chow fun and that it did not contain egg. Great - let's order that for my kid. When the dish came out, I served my son first so there's no cross-contamination from our other guests and had only fed my son from his plate with his set of utensils that I brought from home. Mid-way through our meal, his face had turned red and splotchy, which was a sign that he was having a reaction (we recognize it from previous visits with the doctor). We quickly stopped feeding his meal and observed his symptoms to see if would escalate. Our toddler ended up feeling very sick soon after and we left promptly. His reaction escalated and he proceeded to projectile vomit everywhere moments after leaving. Such a terrible and frightening experience. I hope this review just changes how the restaurant handles food allergies as they could have potentially been life threatening.

At 10:50, there was a huge crowd of people waiting to be seated, 30+ and 20+ orders to go. We did not get our order until after 12:10. They forgot our bbq pork buns. We called and they will credit our cc. Fook kin rice was good. Salt & pepper pork was a little soggy. Dim sum was okay. All of it was not hot and fresh. It was still good because it did not taste frozen or have msg. We think this is one of the better dim sum restaurants in the area.

    Update: Lowering from 4 stars to 2 stars…read more We have gone several times since I wrote my original review but the last visit really soured me on this place. We arrived around 1 PM on a Sunday and were told it would be a 20-25 minute wait. That was fine. But when we were seated we noticed the carts did not have much food. So we ordered 4 dim sum items off the menu. No one told us how long it would take to get these items. We ordered traditional dim sum items and at most dim sum places it would just take a few minutes. But after 20 minutes, nothing had arrived. We asked one of the workers and he angrily told us it takes a long time to prepare them. After 5 minutes one item showed up. But after waiting 20 minutes we decided to leave. As we were paying the bill, another item showed up so we just took it home. What bothered me most was no one apologized for the long wait, offered to somehow compensate, etc. They just acted like another day at Saigon Seafood Harbor.
