    My first time here as I wanted to try it out for possible graduation dinner. I do not recommend. Service was pretty much non existent but still auto charge of 18% onto check. (Mind you that me and my son were the only ones in there) There were bugs flying all around the table and food while trying to eat. Food was ok, your better off going to a fast food spot. For cheaper and more food. I got 3 items for $88.00 included tip. Fried rice, sweet sour pork and Kung pao chicken.

    Mayflower Seafood in Milpitas. Before I even picked up my chopsticks, I had to snap a photo -- everything coming out of the kitchen looked too good not to capture. I stopped in for a casual meal and the clay pots with frog legs and beef dishes arrived hot, fresh, and beautifully presented, with that classic Cantonese comfort that hits the spot every time. Service was quick and efficient, and even with the hustle of the dining room, the team kept everything moving smoothly. We also got BBQ pork and walnut shrimp.

    My grandson wanted soup dumplings and this restaurant is close to the house, so we decided to go here. I've never been, and it was on a Saturday afternoon. Lessons learned from this visit. Maybe we should walk next time. Parking is hard to find, its very busy, or don't go on the weekend. Luckily the wait for a table was only a few minutes. We ordered our usuals off of a menu, they don't come around on carts. Siu mai, bbq pork bun, fried shrimp balls, shrimp balls, shoyu fried noodles , soup dumplings, green beans and few new ones like stuffed tofu, beef chow fun, and couple.more. all of it was good, and slightly bigger than other dimsum places, I'll have to remember that. Soup dumplings were ok though, they came out later, so my grandson had filled himself on other dimsum and he didn't eat his usual portion, therefore leftovers. Everything was good fresh and hot.

    During the weekend, it is hard to find parking. Inside is spacious, clean and well lit. Big screen tv's are everywhere so you don't miss any sport events. Ppl are friendly and pretty efficient. Foods are great. Average portions.

    Has the Har gow (shrimp dumpling), Bbq pork rice noodles, Black Truffle shrimp dumplings, Xiao Long Bao (Steamed Shanghai Dumplings), and House special Pan Fried (Hongkong style) combination noodles. Noticed that they have really good wrapper to filling ratio with their dumplings. Thinner wrapper with generous protein filling for both their meat and seafood dumplings. Har gow was filled with big chunk of shrimp. Had bamboo shoots flavor too but not overwhelming. Truffle shrimp dumplings were good with just the perfect amount of truffle. I like that they topped the dumplings with the truffle instead of mixing it with the filling because I could taste the shrimp and the truffle separately. This was the highlight of the meal. The BBQ pork rice noodles were also good with lots of roasted pork and maybe chives which really complemented the sweet pork. The noodles were a bit overcooked that they were falling apart as I pick them up with chopsticks. The XLB were small but didn't skimp on the filling. Wrapper was very thin so the dumplings were mostly meat. I could taste the ginger flavor. Not a lot of soup inside. But still good. The Hongkong style noodle dish was also good. Generous serving. Had chicken, bbq pork, shrimp, scallops, squid, bok choy all on top of crispy egg noodles with soy based gravy. Yummy. The egg custard cake (Thousand Layer Cake) was unique. It was steamed cake with paste of salted egg mixed it. It also had some candied pieces of coconut. Very moist. It was good but too sweet for my taste. They have less variety of dimsum and more pricey than other places I've been but they definitely pay attention to the taste and quality. Each dimsum item had its unique flavor that's noticeable. They don't have the dimsum carts. You order by marking the paper menu and they bring the dimsum to your table. Big open dining room. Welcoming hosts. Attentive staff and manager.

    The environment is nice with a spacious layout and tables well spread out. The servers are friendly. The food tastes decent, though the flavors are milder compared to Sichuan dishes since it's Cantonese cuisine. Prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes feel just right. For three people, the total came to about $80, including tip. One thing to note is that the tip is already included as a service fee. I noticed an 18% charge when I paid the bill during a weekday lunch. This percentage may be higher during busier hours.

    We came here for Christmas Morning before 11am rush! We got soy mai, har gow, shrimp and beef rice noodle, crispy shrimp balls, custard buns, bbq pork buns, chicken feet, and fried dumpling. All the food here is good everytime, they fill the dumplings up with meat and the rice noodles are always soft and perfect! Love coming here each time!

    Probably not going to come back here. Came here for Christmas Eve dinner with my family. Waited 20 minutes for someone to come by to take our order. We had to wave someone down ( No tea or water yet) Waited for 30 minutes for soup. Waited another 1 hour for the FIRST dish. It took more than 2 hours to receive all our dishes. We waited close to two hours for our food. It wasn't good enough to justify such a long wait or to make us want to return. The service was terrible from start to finish. To make matters worse, an automatic 18% service charge was added for 3 people, which did not reflect the level of service we received at all. The service charge was also not WRITTEN anywhere on the menu which is illegal.

    I had the pleasure of attending a Milpitas' Assembly Member Lunar New Year Dim Sum Celebration . The food was incredibly delicious. The service was expedient delivering piping hot delicious entrees in rapid succession. I wasn't able to photograph all of the dishes as I was too busy chowing them down. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the room was a buzz with chatter and laughter. It was a good time for all. I'm happy to discovered this gem.

    They don't have dim sum on carts, but once you submit your order, the food comes out pretty quickly and is hot and fresh! We ordered a variety of dim sum dishes and it was exactly what we were craving - traditional, classic dim sum. We chose our tea and was given a big pot, which only needed to be refilled once towards the end (we drink a lot of tea; and it was only the 2 of us). Food was good and pieces were decently sized (shu mai and har gow were on the larger size, which we loved!). Service is what you'd expect it to be -- minimal interaction but efficient. The restaurant itself is bigger than I expected, clean and ample seating for any size party. We got there around 1pm and it was still pretty busy. Something to note: an automatic service charge is added to your bill, so no need to tip extra. My partner overlooked this and added a tip on top of the final bill. The nice lady ran over to me as we were exiting and told us to revise it and remove the extra tip. I thought that was thoughtful and kind of her. Overall, a new dim sum go-to for us.

    Mayflower used to be the Dim Sum standard, but my how far they have fallen. They have a lot of seating, but we're not cleaning the tables to seat people. There was a line of people but more dirty tables than people in line, they could have seated people quickly had they better managed the tables. The food was served warm, not hot. Once we were seated, we got a pot of tea. We asked for water and was served some after the food was delivered (so about 20 mins after we asked). Also they add a 18% gratuity (unannounced) for any party (1-10), we had two people in our party and still had the gratuity applied with no way to adjust it. I have no issue paying for good service (18+%), but the service was sub-par so the automatic gratuity was ridiculous. I'd say to skip this place if you're looking for dim sum.

    very chinese dim sum spot. I liked the stir fry pea shoots, the baked bbq pork buns, and the scallop and shrimp dumplings. The beef in the rice rolls and steamed beef balls were weird - they added so much starch to the beef that they had like no texture and very little beef flavors. Overall not bad but did not impress me

    Came here for a work lunch on a weekday. It wasn't that busy although we did come after lunch rush. We ordered off a paper menu and the food came in quickly. Did we order too much for 4 people? maybe. Was it worth it? Yeah. Food: Too many to list, but honestly everything was solid. Not sure I had if I could select favorites as everything was good! One that I've never had before was Layered Egg Custard Cake dessert. If you like egg custard buns, you'll probably like this like I did. Service: Similar to other dim sum places. Wokers watch from a distance if you need something, but are really quick to attend.

The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

The flavor is comforting and well-balanced without being overly salty, and the texture is smooth and satisfying. I highly recommend pairing it with their dough stick (youtiao). It's crispy on the outside, slightly chewy inside, while still staying light and fluffy. Dipping it into the congee completely changes the experience and honestly feels like a must-order combination. Another standout for me is the steamed spareribs with black bean and taro. The spareribs are tender and flavorful, and the black bean sauce adds a savory depth without overpowering the dish. Service continues to be efficient and well-organized, even when busy. One thing I noticed is that the restaurant is especially popular with elderly customers, which honestly says a lot about the food being comforting, traditional, and consistent. Almost every table had some combination of congee, rice rolls, and steamed dishes, which seems to be the way to go here. Overall, this is the kind of place that becomes easy to return to once you find your favorite dishes.

The Shrimp Rice Rolls are the clear star--the rice noodle is incredibly smooth and thin, which is the mark of a great chang fen. They don't skimp on the shrimp, and the sweet soy sauce ties it all together perfectly. For something heartier, the Wonton Noodle Soup features a very clean, savory broth and snap-to-the-bite noodles. The Pork Congee is also a winner; it's silky, flavorful, and exactly what you want on a cold day or when you're craving something soothing. We also grabbed the Shiu Mai, which were plump and well-seasoned with a great meat-to-shrimp ratio. The kitchen is efficient, and the flavors are consistently authentic. It's a reliable spot for a great quality, traditional meal that never misses the mark. Prices are reasonable and service is fairly quick but there's also a QR code for an optional online ordering for some.

We were seated near the kitchen so we were able to look in and see BTS. The restaurant is very spacious, clean and bright with a modern design. There are booth tables against wall and tables in the middle of the restaurant. A QR code is is availble at the table for you to view menu and order. I actually like this better as I don't feel rush to order and gives me the chance to look through the menu without feeling rush to order. Iced water was brought out instantly. We ordered the following: 1. Lamb skewer, spicy: you can smell the intensity of the spice when the dish was brought out from the chili powder. The meat is moist and grilled well w/ a nice crisp. There is no gamey smell. I took a first bite but the chili powder slightly burned my gums. Had to ask Hubby to shake some of the chili poweder off the skewers for me. Its a messy dish but very tasty. 2. Spicy beef soup w/ wide noodles: Noodles are HUGE! About 1.5 inches wide and forever long. I had to use the scissors to cut it up. Noodles are good. Chewey texture just as I like it. Comes with a whole egg and beef. The broth has a nice spice to it and unlike other spicy noodle soup I've tried, it does not taste oily or overwhelmed with spices esp Sze Chuan chilis. It had a good balace of savory and spiciness. 3. Wide noodles w/ braised chicken: This dish is delish but it's a BIG dish like a whole chicken was prepared! Can feed up to 4-5 people. It's the size of a medium pizza or even a Large.The thick sauce is very flavorful but not salty. It comes with potatoes, carrots, onions, green bell peppers, and dried whole chili. Its not spicy but may be for kids as we have a high spicy tolerance. Only thing about this plate I didn't like it there's bones. We ended 2 more meals with the leftover. The noodles are hand pulled in house as we sat by the kitchen and saw the kitchen staff making it. Food comes out pretty quick and service is very good. The staff are very attentive and met our needs promptly. We definitely will return to try other plates as the menu is pretty big.
