    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.

    I found maggots in my fried rice. They refused to give me a refund. I spent $150 there and I get this when it's time for dinner.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 dumplings are all over steamed. Not worth the money. They charge 18% service fee no matter how many people. I won't come back.

    We just threw our baby's first birthday here & everyone had such a blast! The kids of all ranging…read moreages at our party had a great time, no one was bored & they did not want to leave when it was time to go. Birthday girl had a great time exploring, playing and eating. The team were so easy to work with from the email correspondence on my Cinnamoroll themed table vision to day of set up. The staff were super quick & accommodating when they were assisting me with the set up. They helped me string up and put a HBD banner and set up my little one's high chair and way more like help bring stuff in, stock the drink fridge, set out the pastries, etc. They just knew what to do & did it straight away. I was amazed by the speed and professionalism! If only I had this level of set up at every birthday party. Barely any dictation or answering questions was needed. What a hugeeee lift off the mental load! There's a dedicated drink fridge in front of the register that kept our drinks chilled and easy for guests to grab. The food table is nice and long so it held a lot of food & we had A LOTT of food. We opted for the photo package too which was nice because usually being the host means you're too busy to take photos and get photos taken of your family. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your little one's special event! I only wish that this place was bigger so that we could invite more friends to our event. However, being smaller means more intimate events and those who are invited should feel super blessed and lucky to have made the cut!

    We booked a private event for a toddler party. The event space was spacious and although the toys,…read moreplay structures, and walls show some wear you can tell that care has been put into maintaining and cleaning the place. Our group ranged from 11 months to just over 2 years old, and there were plenty of suitable toys for our age group. There were plenty of toys to go around that the kids were not trying to take things from one another. I think if they put a fresh coat of paint on things or maybe invested in some newer toys this place would be 5 stars. With that being said, even in its current state it's still worthwhile coming if you have small children!
