Highly recommended! Foods are freshly made every day! The staffs are very friendly. We will keep visiting:)

Great new place in the Santa Teresa area of San Jose. Fair portions for the price. 'Cause everything expensive in the Bay Area) (((TAKE OUT ONLY))) Great Dim Sum! All made to order plates. Come in and try something. I've been there three times in two weeks, and I ain't even Asian. Nice friendly people who work there, which is rare for any Bay Area food place. read more

I've been here three times in a week, twice in one day! The food is amazing, the service is super good too! We love the duck, it's super tasty, tender, and flavorful! The double rice combo is the way to go. read more

Let me start off by giving y'all my "credentials" lol :D - son of immigrants from China/Taiwan - born and raised in the Bay Area; grew up most of my life in Almaden - currently live in LA, which has TONS Chinese restaurant choices to pick from In other words: I have a pretty wide experience and standard, when it comes to Chinese food I have mixed feelings about Hing Kee, but most of them are things outside their control. This is a family-owned, mom-and-pop, pick-up-and-go dim sum place that HAND MAKES all their dim sum dishes, along with freshly made char siu and Chinese roasted duck and roast pork belly hanging on hooks that you point and they chop up. Dim sum: 4/5 Honestly, it's probably 3.5, but let me explain why I'm rounding up to a 4: They have the traditional/"normal" dim sum dishes like siu mai and chicken feet (鳳爪 ) and Ham Sui Gok (咸水角) and BBQ pork buns, etc. They also have some SUPER unique and rare dishes on their dim sum menu, like "steamed black-eyed pea cake (眉豆糕)" or "cucumber & shredded duck roll (青瓜鴨絲卷)" Taste: 4/5 But here's where some negative things occur...but it's sort of out of their hands: 1) Several of their unique dishes aren't available. Because they hand-make ALL their dim sum dishes FROM SCRATCH every morning, so if customers aren't ordering certain dim sum dishes, they go to waste. So based on the low population of Chinese in the Almaden/Santa Theresa area (as compared to Cupertino/Saratoga/etc.), the less demand they have for their more unique choices, so oftentimes not everything on their menu is available. But this isn't something that's their fault and is out of their hands. 2) Yes, they do run out of their dishes often. Again, it's because the area doesn't have as many Chinese people living in the area, so when you come, you should check out their menu ahead of time and please be flexible if they're out of dishes, simply bc it's hard for them to accurately gauge how much of each dish to prepare each morning, if the demand fluctuates all the time. Again: something that isn't their fault and is out of their hands. 3) Because it's a to-go place, some of the dishes might suffer from taking home. For example, their noodle roll (cheong fun 肠粉) is pretty good! But because it's a steamed dish, when you try to package it into a small plastic clamshell to-go box, the cheong fun sticks to itself by the time you get home. A slight recommendation would be for the cheong fun dish to be packaged in the larger size to-go box, so it's easier to separate when you eat it at home. Again, not a big deal. Recommended dishes: - steamed chicken feet in sauce (醬汁鳳爪) - all the noodle rolls (cheong fun 肠粉) are pretty good! - shrimp & chive dumplings (鮮蝦韭菜果) (I purposely didn't order the "normal" dishes like siu mai, har gow, etc., bc I wanted to see how their other dishes tasted. When I go back, I definitely want to check out their spare ribs, tripe, white sugar sponge cake, etc., as well as seeing if any of their rare dishes happen to be available, such as salty/sweet rice flour crepe (咸/甜薄撑), steamed black-eyed pea cake, etc. Having said all that, why am I giving them 5 stars? Because of 2 reasons: 1) This family works HARD. We went in around Thursday noon and my mom was able to chat with the daughter, and we found out that this a mom-and-pop, family-run restaurant: The dad wakes up every morning at FIVE THIRTY A.M. because he lives in DUBLIN!!! The daughter runs the cash register and she's SUUUPPPEERRR friendly and sweet. And the son is in the back and also runs the meat counter. And you can TELL that this family already has restaurant experience bc the son chops the meat in a really professional way, making sure the meat looks very nice in your to-go box, and the dad really knows what he's doing and is also super-duper friendly & chats away with you in Chinese. 2) Yes, if you're comparing this place to sit-down dim sum places in Cupertino and Saratoga, yes...this place is 0.5 stars below the large dim sum restaurants there. But for Almaden/Santa Theresa, where there's a lack of any dim sum places here, I'd rather go to Hing Kee and save money on gas and time and get dim sum dishes for an AMAZING price! (Seriously, where else can you still find dim sum dishes for LESS THAN FIVE DOLLARS????) And where can you find crispy roast duck or soy sauce chicken or pork belly hanging from hooks in Almaden/Santa Theresa???? While chatting away with the daughter, we asked if she had any recommendations, and she actually strongly recommended their wontons, which threw us for a loop because who orders wontons at a dim sum place? But then she mentioned that they MAKE THEIR WONTONS FROM SCRATCH!!!! So come, if you want to support a hard-working family that gets you at FIVE THIRTY each morning and drives from DUBLIN to operate their mom-and-pop restaurant! But please be patient and understanding and flexible, if they don't have the dish(es) that you're hoping for, all for an AMAZING price!! read more

So happy that a new dim sum place opened up near by! I was interested in trying their fish fillet bun, but when I called, they said they don't have that anymore. I asked when they'll have it again, and they basically said never lol. I was bummed about that, but decided to go try some other items anyway. The cheeseburger bun was surprisingly really good! The roasted porky belly had a good flavor and crunch too. Dim sum is pretty average, but I would definitely come back. read more

Hing Kee Dimsum & BBQ - Cheeseburger bun - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

We did a big order to try as many things as possible. Overall pretty tasty. Service was pleasant and quick considering the size of our order. We were there around noon on a Sat and they weren't too busy but a few things we already sold out. Considering the day was still early it would have been better if there weren't sold out items. Onto the food itself. The best was the egg tarts. Will definitely go back just for those whenever we have the craving. The usual suspects like har gow and siu mai were both good. The fried radish cakes were tasty. Weren't a big fan of the steam ribs, too much fat. The bake bbq puffs were very good, but sadly they only had 1 order left when we wanted 2. The beef ballls need more seasoning. Usually there's Worcestershire sauce on the side but it didn't come with any. Luckily had some at home which made it acceptable. Overall a solid take out dim sum place that we'd go again. read more

The full menu is now all enabled!! I tried the shrimp noodle soup, beef chow mein, and pork spare ribs. Everything was delicious. Service is great here. Customers may need to wait a bit for their food, so just be patient. They are now open 9 am to 7 pm ( Mon to Fri) and 8 am to 8pm on the weekend. The bbq meats are available after 10:30am daily. I've been here a few times already, and my family really enjoys Hing Kee. read more

LOVE THE NEW DIM SUM SPOT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!!! It is a quick pickup spot but there are a few outdoor tables and seats. Stopped by but only to grab some Char Siu to make a dried Saimin for a party. BBQ meats available after 10:30!!! I stopped in around 10am but the woman at the counter had them prepare it for me. I stepped away to pick up some other things and came back to it ready for me to pick up. There is a touch screen kiosk to order. Will definitely need to order the rest of the food stuff. Everything looked awesome and we're excited to try. Will be back very soon! read more

My wife found this place and wanted to come here and try it but I was very disappointed. Went up to the kiosk to order and almost everything was sold out mid day. In the middle of our order the worker refresh the kiosk because the roast pig was in stock. Luckily we only had tree items in the cart and the worker remembered. The inside was very cramp with no seating indoor. But only one area outside with you tables together. A kid came out with the orders calling out the number and I didn't even know she was working there. Ordered the roasted pig and duck and it didn't even come with bok choy instead it came with soggy lettuce. For $13.99 the plate came with double rice and not even that much meat. The duck didn't have that much meat one it. The duck had hair on it still and mostly bones. The roasted pig wasn't super crispy. I overheard some ordered something and it was sold out so they have to get a refund. I know they just recently open but I think they still need some work to do. read more

Hong Kong style dimsum in Santa Teresa Square (Nob Hill plaza) run by a sweet family. Authentic and handmade, which I would describe as very homey and family style, not like super processed restaurant quality. The food is not too salty and not like mega portions. You can tell it was made with quality ingredients by people who care. Most loved: definitely the BBQ pork and duck expect $6-7 per dish. A little pricier than restaurant but beautifully handmade. Menu highlights: Cheese and beef bun (tastes like an inside out cheeseburger) and black lava bun (tastes like a thick runny custard bun) Unique selling points: the owners really impressed me with their warmth and hardworking family style. They are new and really just trying to sort out a process with the demand so please be patient. Opening hours: Open 8am-8pm almost every day. Avoid the crowds but going after lunch read more

I've been wanting to check out Hing Kee- came with my parents at around 10:30am. There was a good assortment of traditional dim sum- sui mai, har gow, chicken feet, turnip cake and a lot more. The BBQ meats look flavorful- we got a soy sauce chicken. The foods tasted authentic. It is a take out place with a table on the outside. It got busy pretty quickly. The staff was friendly, but be prepared for a wait to get your food. I will definitely go back. Want to try the noodle soup, rice plates too. read more

You need to try this takeout, you might want to order ahead or be prepared to wait if it's close to lunch time. We ate in the two tables outside while waiting for our whole roast duck. The food was delicious and well worth the wait. They did run out of one item because we came near 1 p.m., but there is a boba shop right next door called Snow Boba, where you can order a milk tea drink, if you need to wait outside before you get your order. There is plenty of parking, it's in the outdoor mall by Nob Hill Foods. read more

New dim sum takeout spot in the Santa Teresa area! I ordered a few items here since people were raving about it on NextDoor. The items were solid, but the ordering process should be more efficient. Many items sell out while you're ordering from the kiosk and the owner/worker has to refresh the kiosk system. One of the items from my order was missing, so I had to call them to let them know. Not sure if it was a mistake or if they sold out and didn't inform me. It was a hassle to go back and get a refund. Since this is a new shop, they are still figuring the business out. I think I will try this place again once they have more offerings and aren't sold out most of the time. read more

I really wanted to like this place after seeing so many reviews on Nextdoor, reddit, yelp, etc. Perhaps they may be better known for certain dishes, but I found a lot of their items were hit or miss. Hits for me were the pork siu mai, the oyster sauce tofu skin roll. The misses were the lo mai gai (rice consistency was too sticky and stuck to both the lotus and paper wrapper), the siu mai with the corn (couldn't tell if it was chicken or beef, but the flavor had a strong peppery chestnut flavor somehow), all the baos (dry), beef rice roll (all wrapper, no meat), and egg tart (the custard had a strange chemical taste). The dough for the bbq pork bun and the black gold lava custard bun were both dry, and there was barely enough custard in black gold specialty bun. The ones I thought were okay were the spare ribs, although a bit fatty, the Teochew-style dumplings, and the char siu pork. Unfortunately, I couldn't order half pound sizes, but the char siu was also dry. I wanted this place to do so well that I came back again as I thought the first time may have been a fluke since they were out of so many dishes. Honestly, the second time was only slightly better, but dishes took longer to come out since there was a longer line. While it's nice to have a dim sum place closer to home, and you can tell some of these are made in house, the dishes are missing a certain finesse and quality that you might get in a sit down dim sum restaurant. I will say service was pleasant though, and they were very gracious to explain each of the dishes in the display. Also a warning with the summer heat, the shop front is very small and warm as there food displays take up most of the room and they have a swamp cooler type fan trying to cool things down that takes up a lot of space as well. read more

I like their variety of dim sum in this place. The place gets crowded in the weekends

Food is great, however the ordering process needs to be more efficient. I'm sure they'll have this resolved as a settle down after a month of operations. As others mentioned, arrived at 11am, found many items sold out. Not a good start. read more

I tried this place for the first time tonight around 5pm. Great little takeout only dim sum place. They were sold out of a lot of items by this time, but I was still able to get a 3 item bbq plate with white rice and steamed bokchoy, freshly steamed BBQ Pork Buns, and Shumai. I have to say that for end of day food, everything was hot, fresh, and tasty! I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely go back and try other items (earlier). read more

Very good, 10/10, would recommend. Some people would complain about the food being sold out, but that is just a testament to how good the food actually is. read more

The good: Honey BBQ pork is totally worth it. Very good flavor. And the rice rolls are soft, thin, and silky especially when dipped in the included dipping sauce. The bad: looong wait for the rice rolls, but it's because they make on order. If you have the time to spare, then get it. Scallion chicken rice plate, not as worth the price you pay. Not much meat and a lot of bones =\ mostly rice. Better stick with the BBQ pork rice plate instead. Overall: This is a very new place, barely opened for a week so they should have some grace to work out the kinks. Dim sum items are very tasty and good in general. read more

The rice noodle rolls are amazing. Got mines with beef and shrimp. Tasted authentic like in China! Fried rice is fine and chow fun! But just the noodle rolls are worth getting with skin as thin as paper all draped together as it should be. The beef brisket is good too. read more

I am so excited to have a Dim Sum and also Chinese place so close to home. We tried Chau Su Bao buns, Har Gow and Shui Mai Dumplings and everything was great! I will definitely be coming here again to try more items. The staff was really helpful to me in placing my order on their computer system. As far as ambiance.. it is a walk-in and order place but they do have some chairs and tables for you to sit at while you wait or even eat! read more

The sticky rice is delicious! We have enjoyed many of the dishes. The only disappointing items were the steamed and baked baos-not much filling. read more

This place really brought me back to my childhood in Hong Kong. The dim sum has that authentic, old-school Hong Kong flavor I remember from the 80s, from the taste to the quality of the ingredients. It's becoming harder and harder to find dim sum like this anymore. Everything we tried was delicious and brought back so many memories. In my opinion, it's even better than many of the well-known dim sum restaurants around the Bay Area. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for traditional Hong Kong-style dim sum! read more

The food here was very tasty and felt authentic, I ordered the BBQ pork buns and the Teochew-style dumplings for my mom. The BBQ pork buns are my personal favorite, and I have loved getting them since I was a little kid. Some restaurants don't get it right, and the bun ends up being either completely dry or soaking wet, and the meat tastes completely sour instead of the delicious mix of sweet and sour. This place however, totally exceeded my expectations and made me want to come back to get their amazing pork buns! the meat is a perfect sweet and sour combination, while the texture is soft and gooey. The bun is perfectly soft and spongy, almost like a cake. Not to mention the gorgeous vibrant color of the sauce inside the BBQ pork buns. My mom ate the Teochew-style dumplings and told me she approved and thought it was delicious. She even told her friends that they should try this restaurant, giving them the menu for them to look. The shop itself is a cute little place and very much reminds me of childhood when my mother would take me to shops that looked like this one to buy roasted duck or Chinese donuts. The atmosphere was calm and lit up nicely, and the service was excellent. The nice woman who took my order was patient and polite, and explained some of the dishes to me. Next time I will definitely try some more of their options, which they have a lot of. Great selection and amazing service and delicious food, can't wait to come back. :-) read more

We live in the area. It was a pleasant surprise to see them open in our area. It is very convenient. There is hardly any authentic dimsum & BBQ in the area bar from Ranch 99 at the mall. Food wise, it is authentic and good. Char siu was very tasty. The duck was also really good with the duck drippings sauce. I would go back again instead of driving across down. read more

Been here a few times now. The dim sum is good and service is relatively fast. The kiosk ordering next to the register is a bit awkward but the space is tight inside. The noodles and rice plates were exceptional. The scallion oil chicken rice was amazing! Only criticism would be that they could bump up the portions inside the baos and buns a bit. We got a few orders of the bbq pork buns and black gold lava custard buns and it was probably more than 80% bread, If not more. Other than that, it's a solid place for grab and go dim sum. read more

I was going to post some pictures but the food is too good and I forgot lol, anyways I like to eat at this little restaurant because everything they make is from scratch. Most of all, the food is very authentic and the staffs are very nice!! read more

I was really disappointed with the food here. The fried rice was incredibly bland and lacked flavor, and for some reason, it had sweet corn mixed into it. To make matters worse, the beef shui mai was overcooked and tough, and it also contained corn. Putting corn in both of these dishes completely threw off the flavor profile. I won't be ordering either of these again. read more

This is second try... wanted to give them another chance, since the first time they had just opened. Didn't get anything because they were all out of what we wanted.. After reading reviews thought OK, let's give them another chance.... Dim sum was old and reheated to the point of being soggy. The rice plate!!!! OMG, out of chicken but offered duck or bbq pork... ok so I took the duck. Got home and the rice plate had more rice than duck or chicken..the chicken was bottom half of a drumstick with hardly meat..the duck was anemic..for that price I could have gotten it down the street at 99 Ranch Market. In fact that's where I gonna go! The sesame balls were greasy... Hard pass...Good luck! read more

Was extremely happy to hear that there was a dim sum and Chinese bbq place opening up in south San Jose. Decided to try it out today since kids were off school and they wanted to truly enjoy their first day of summer, in front of the computer screen. I got there at 8:30am and they maybe had 75% of the dim sum menu and 0% of the bbq menu. Was told all of the dim sum menu would be available after 10am and bbq menu will be available after 10:30am and 11am. They had 2 ordering options. Either directly with the cashier or through a kiosk screen. Which are right next to each other so I can see why other reviews said it's hectic when ordering. Maybe the owners should put another kiosk outside to lessen the craziness inside the already small space. Placed my order with the cashier and went outside to wait for the food. Cashier thoughtfully brought my order out to me when it was ready. When I got home and unpacked the food, there was not a single condiment pack in the bags. No soy sauce. No chili oil. No sate. No sweet n sour sauce. Nothing! Food is 4 stars but minus a star for the lack of condiments. Will give them a month to fix the minor flaws and give them a shot again. read more

I ordered the Three-Item combo rice. Food tasted good but the meat to rice portion is very bad. A lot of rice. Not to mention for the chicken and duck meat, only got the meat near the rib cage.

The dim sum is of good quality matching those in local restaurants. However, the selection is very limited and quite a few items are to be available in the future. The price is not cheap for almost $6 a dish on the average. The toxic tip culture is also there by asking for tips for to-go orders. I could easily go to my nearby dim sum restaurants for pretty much the same price. read more

Ordered takeout and somehow it still hit like we were dining in. Everything was hot, fresh, and dangerously easy to finish way too fast. Portions were solid, flavors on point, and nothing got soggy on the way home. Staff was super friendly and had everything ready right on time. 10/10, would absolutely order enough for "two people" again. read more

The food is not great but not bad. But the wait was 40 minutes after ordering for a 6 item order and they didn't let us know how long it would be and there was no way to tell it would be so long. The numbers of people ordering weren't big or anything I think they are just slow. Also the little area outside to wait was completely overrun with flies. I was excited for dim sum in south San Jose but I definitely won't be back. read more

I was so excited to try this place based on the pictures, but sadly it really missed the mark. It's cool for a dim sum place to have a kiosk. However it's not cool if nearly all the items were already sold out mid day. Even customers who already ordered were told they had to substitute and even then the substitutes ran out. I understand that they barely opened, but that's a huge flop. I was ready to get several dishes to try and they just didn't have anything. We were able to order the duck and pork belly plates. For $13.99 each plate was really sad. There was wilted soggy lettuce instead of the bok choy shown in the image. The duck had hair/mostly bones and was really dried out. Both orders of meat were cold. It literally small bits of meat with a huge double portion of rice.The bbq buns were also on the small side with barely any filling. Everything tasted fine, but it was cold and not worthy of coming across town for. I definitely think this place needs to get it's bearings. read more
