    Came by for a late dinner and made it 45 minutes prior to them closing. They greeted and seated my party of 4 as soon as I walked in. They were not busy and we were advised to order soon, as their kitchen would close shortly. Items ordered: Soy sauce chow mein- Large portion and taste was fine and as expected. Beef stew noodle soup- Large portion and plenty of beef and noodles with some choy. Taste was okay. Salt and pepper pork chops- I opted for no jalapeños. The fried garlic was good but this was VERY fatty. Majority of the pork chops were gristle and inedible. Choy in broth- Large order and taste was fine. Fish congee- Portion size was okay and decent amount of fish. Staff were very friendly, brought us the bill but explained that we had plenty of time to finish our meal (as they were trying to balance the register prior to closing), and even brought us desserts. Ambiance- 2/5 stars This location is in need of an update. They do have a private room and seating is not too crowded, which is a plus. Food- 2/5 stars Portion sizes were big but they could definitely do better about the quality of food served. Service- 4/5 stars Everyone was friendly and helpful

    In the past 3 months, I've been here 3 times for dim sum on the weekends. Our group size varied from 4 people to 9. I'm can honestly say I'm shocked at the negative reviews. Our food is always picture perfect and the staff is quick and attentive. We had the pleasure of being greeted by Frank, our host, every visit. Frank is so friendly and kind! He waves at his guests as they leave and he even smiles - if you frequent Chinese restaurants, you know what a rarity this is. My aunt and uncle came for a visit from Hong Kong, and even they were impressed with the service and the food. I love the black bean chicken feet, roast pork and duck, spare ribs and wu gok. Honestly, everything I've eaten here has been great. For dim sum. the weekends tend to get busy just before noon. We usually arrive around 11 and have always been seated right away.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    haven't been here in years so decided since we were passing through to go. service is minimal and not what i remember. glasses were dirty and chop stick wrapper stained with i don't know. lighting good but not busy like usual. food is always good- had to get my own vinegar which was fine. prob won't be back again anytime soon.

    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 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.

    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.

The truffle & mushroom rice was especially memorable, and I'd absolutely order it again. Only downside: parking can be a challenge.
