Fast and friendly mom and pop restaurant that has been serving delicious Cantonese / HK food and dim sum for decades! My favorite dish to order to go is their Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice, which you can't find at just any Chinese restaurant. I've been there on the weekends for dim sum before too which is pretty good. Plenty of parking in their own lot. They have a nostalgic interior that reminds me of dim sum restaurants growing up in So Cal. read more

What I like about this restaurant is their staff. Although they don't have a lot of staff, they served me very good. The lady with short hair is very nice and attentive, she remembers my taste. She even remembers me when I called her by phone, she recognizes my voice and my favorite dish. I love the chive dumplings. It's always fresh. I think they cook right away after I ordered. There signature balls are must try too. However, personally I don't like the chewy cover, I prefer it to be crunchy a little bit more. The restaurant is crowded at certain time of the day. I usually called ahead before pick up. She always told me how long it takes. I rarely dine in. Definitely a hidden gem of dim sum of south area. read more

This is an old school dim sum restaurant that's hidden on the very busy Monterey Road. Lots of seating inside and each item is made to order. Nothing was outstanding or blew my away. The chicken feet and siu mai really disappointed me in fact... Unfortunate, but there were lots of other solid highlights that we enjoyed. My personal favorites were the Sauteed Fillet of Sole with XO Sauce, Szechuan Pork with Green Beans, and the House Chow Mein with Crispy Noodles. Everything came out piping hot and the portions were great! I'd also recommend the Shrimp Cheung Fan, Baked BBQ Pork Buns (3 pcs), & Crispy Shrimp Balls (4 pcs) were favorites amongst my group. read more

This is one of those restaurants that you drive past everyday and wonder if it's any good. I've always been a bit curious and skeptical since it's literally right down the street from me. Until one of my friend who lives in Concord said they tried it and it was worth a visit. So we decided to have our girls brunch here. Parking was plenty and at around 1:30pm on a Sunday, not that busy. It's really one of those restaurant that is not the most aesthetic but food is good. We got a few dim sum items and a few main dishes. What we ordered: - Peking duck - 4/5 $48 for the whole duck. Quite expensive but it is good. I didn't know that you could order half a duck. This dish also came out last and we were already full by the time it came out. Skin was crispy and nice but I would only do half a duck next time - Sui mai - 4.5/5 very good - Har cow - nothing crazy. I'd probably skip this - Chicken feet - 4.5/5 the chicken feet were quite big but delicious - Honey walnut shrimp - 4/5 - chicken chowmein - 4/5 chicken was so tender and - Sauteed spinach - 3/5 $15 for this was too expensive - Chinese broccoli - also mid - scallion pancake - 3/5 - shrimp cheung fun 4/5 a must order for me at every dim sum place Overall the food was good but a bit on the pricey side. The dim sum dishes were $7 each and veggies were $15. I'd come back if I was really craving some dim sum and doesn't want to drive far read more

t's been three years since my last update. Yada, yada, yada, back up to 4 stars. Some good dishes have been added to my rotation, including the salt & pepper fish, beef stew, and their stuffed braised tofu. The big improvement has been in their ability to provide accurate times for pick up of to go orders. read more

Ocean Delight Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

First time dining in at the restaurant. The parking lot is decent sized. The restaurant is fairly large. It can accommodate quite a few large parties and maybe a small wedding reception. Two separate restrooms for men and women. The service was nice. My wife and I ordered... Salted Fish with steamed pork patty (3.5/5). The portion was a bit small for the price. The flavor was good. Peking Spareribs (3.5/5). The sauce was pretty good. Some of the fried spareribs were dry but overall pretty decent. Takeout order of the Szechuan Minced Pork with Green Beans for my mom. read more

I've eaten here several times and the food is generally pretty good. This time, however, I was disappointed with a takeout order. The wonton soup was excellent--very flavorful, with plenty of wontons, which helped justify the higher price point. My issue was with the Mongolian beef. The dish was at least 80% onions, and the onions were extremely strong and honestly inedible. It's hard to believe this would be served this way on a plate in the restaurant. The flavor itself was good and the beef that was there was tender, but there simply wasn't enough of it for what's being charged. At this price, I expect a better balance and consistency. Honestly $67 for two plates and a bowl of soup not including tip is outrageous. I don't think I'll be ordering takeout from here again unfortunately read more

Great Chinese food. Service was great appears to be husband and wife. It was quiet when we were here Saturday 4:30ish but our little group made it loud so I'm sure it can be loud when it's full. Try Ocean Delight. The couple are very nice. But really try the shrimp balls they are freshly made and hot though so cut in half. Would recommend and come again when in the area and want Chinese food for sure. read more

Been here since I was younger and Ocean Delight is a solid spot for dim sum in South San Jose. Though I prefer other places, Ocean Delight is cheaper and it's a big plus that they offer dim sum all day. Came here for my brother's birthday dinner and we were satisfied. DIM SUM (4/5): * Fried Shrimp Ball * Fried Crab Ball * Fried eggplant with shrimp (super good) * Sui Mai * Har Gow * Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll (the best) * Football (fried chewy dough with meat) Other Dishes: 1) Mongolian Beef, 2) Chow Fun, 3) Honey Walnut Shrimp, 4) Peking Duck, and 5) Salt and Pepper Squid. These were all good but the peking duck ($50) was okay. The meat was kind of dry, but the skin was crispy. It was our first time trying the duck, but we will stick with our usual choices. My family comes here every once in awhile and the owner still remembers us. The place is clean and they even packed our food to-go for us. read more

This place is off the beaten path, but I've driven by it for YEARS. We finally decided to stop in and check it out. The parking lot give "road trip" vibes and is kinda secluded. The wait staff was kind and friendly and everything we had was fresh and tasty. The food arrived quickly and there was absolutely no rush from anyone for us to leave. If you are ever in this area or want to eat in a totally relaxed tucked away place on Monterey road don't sleep on Ocean Delight Seafood Restaurant. read more

Terrific service and portion sizes. Very much enjoyed the exceptional technique on the salt and pepper tofu ($16), which was actually silky tofu cubed and then dusted in the tapioca starch and deep fried. This is a technique that is really seen. Most places use a firmer tofu or bean curd and then deep fry. Admittedly, I like both versions, but really appreciated the effort it takes to make this particular one. The dim sum was a bit uneven, with excellent turnip cakes, deep fried meat dumplings ("footballs" on the menu), and shrimp cilantro dumplings. Th siu mai were average and the egg tarts over baked. Would visit again when in the area. read more

Really great dim sum and customer service. As every other place seems to have gotten worse, Ocean Delight has gotten better! All the traditional dim sum dishes with generous portions. My favorite is the black sesame mochi dumplings. Place is clean and reminds me of all the restaurants my parents use to drag us kids to. I love it! Parking lot right in front. Hubby and I order a lot so we have extra to take home. Love supporting a local business. Highly recommend - this is your sign to try this place!! Sorry no pics, we were starving! read more

Friendly staff, food portion is good and looks fresh, best thing I liked is the dishes aren't overly salty like some other places, looks like they use wholesome ingredients without too much fillers n over seasoning, our new favorite place! read more

This is a true Family owned and operated business with delicious down home Dim Sum (well I don't really know if its down home in China, but it sure is here in California). You can tell its been here a long time, but the food is just great. We've been looking for a place that serves Dim Sum for dinner and found a place that has the best Dim Sum I've had in a long time. They don't do the cart thing, but every dish is made to order so its super fresh. Its not a place to go if you are in a rush. The plates come out as they are made. The owner, Yvonne, is lovely and very helpful. We now go here regularly (pretty much everytime we go to Costco which is nearby) read more

Ocean Delight Seafood Restaurant - Our choice for today - Dim Sum Near Me - San Jose, California

Decided to eat here since it was close to where we were staying. We ordered something light before hwading back to socal. Hargow, sesame ball, siu mai, mushroom wuth shrimp? Ribs? All of them were delicious. Some were a little bit salty. Slow service, tbh. Server needs help during lunch time. Can't do it alone for online order, to-go and dine in. No water in the bathroom, low water pressure in sink. I wonder if staff is able to wash hand effectively when using the bathroom. Fyi: only bottled water for $1 or tea for $1. Why? So your choice is 1 bottle water for all the sodium your taking or hot tea but no water. Yikes. read more

3-/2+ I was more leaning to 2+, but the lady at the register is nice. The food was not good. When I walked in, the place was empty; probably because we went after lunch hours. We are from out of town so I don't know if that is normal or not to be honest. Food came out with 1 dish too salty and some barely warmed. The dishes did come out fast. We will probably not return. We just passed by there on our way to somewhere. Almost forgot, we tried dim sum dishes and a noodle dish. Refer to pictures. read more

Family came for lunch on Memorial Day Sunday and there was no wait. My family has been coming here for years. Service has always been good and pretty quick even when it's busy. Our favorite is the beef rice noodle roll which you have to order off menu. Our second favorite is the garlic pea shoots. Get these two items when you're here. Over the years they've changed from carts to dry erase photos. Even with the changes you can always count on the classic dim sum! read more

This is my brother and his family's go to Chinese Restaurant and our party of 6 had a wonderful lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. Some of the dishes we had- BBQ Pork Buns, Wor Won Ton Soup, Fried Rice, and Fish. We also had the Crispy Fried Silky Tofu with Shrimp Meat, which I've never had before and loved it, especially the sauce with it. The restaurant is inviting and nicely decorated. All the servers are attentive and friendly. We also chatted with the owner who was very hospitable. I definitely look forward to returning next time I'm in town. read more

I've been here so many times, mostly for dim sum because it's close by and convenient. I wouldn't say it's in my Top 5 places for dim sum, but it's good when you're hungry and just want dim sum without the wait. I also go here for just the baked bbq pork buns when I have cravings for it. However I've noticed it tastes a lot better when you eat it there than when you order it to go. I recently had dinner here because I wanted lemon chicken. Never had the lemon chicken here before but it was pretty good! The lemon sauce could've used more lemon flavor, but I liked the crispiness of the chicken (probably because I asked for sauce on the side) and how light the batter was. To add some greens, I ordered the green beans with ground pork and that was delicious. The green beans were cooked nicely with a nice bite and the meat was very flavorful-- the pork is salty on its own but very good with rice. The only thing I was disappointed in was the 2 flavors of spareribs (Peking ribs and idk what the other flavor is but it was dry, no sauce). The spareribs were so dry, and the meat was tough to chew. I liked the flavor so it was a shame I couldn't really eat it. read more

When we visit relatives in the South Bay there's a good chance we'll eat here. It's one of my SIL's fave Chinese restaurants. The restaurant offers dim sum and lunch and dinner entrees. Last Friday we went with entrees plus two dim sum items. Pros: * entrees tasty * chicken feet & sticky rice in lotus leaf yummy Cons: * slow service. It took some time for menus and tea service. * small portions * Westlake soup lacked umami Plenty of parking. read more

We come to Ocean Delight all the time and truly look forward to it. The staff are so sweet and always recognize us when we come in, which we appreciate. Even if it's busy, they still bring the food out in a timely manner, and we appreciate their efficiency. We love to order the sticky rice, which is wrapped in grape leaves. Inside, there is a small piece of Chinese sausage with meat. We also enjoy the large, flat noodles with shrimp inside, and the sauce that pairs with it is slightly sweet. I really love the baked pork buns, which have a sweet flavor on the outside that goes nicely with the pork filling. A family favorite is the siu mai, and they have a couple of different options, as well as the har gow, which are shrimp dumplings. We can't wait to come back! read more

The experience for me can be summed up by Jisoo from Blackpink, "Not bad...but not good". If you have a Dim Sum craving, this place will do a pinch but there are significantly better dim sum options available elsewhere. [[ Pro's ]] 1.) Service was generally really good. The waitresses who served us were extremely nice, helped pack our leftover food, and the food came out within expectations. 2.) Easy parking, large interior, and no wait. 3.) Soy Sauce and Hot Sauce is already on the table and you don't have to ask for them. [[ Con's ]] 1.) No tap water. Apparently bottled water is the only option here. I have no idea why so we opted just for tea ($1.00 per person) 2.) Dim Sum is average at best and the "discount" compared to good Dim Sum places is around $1-$2 which is not worth it. Some of the dishes are also a lot smaller than what you get elsewhere. 3.) Not a direct con, but 15% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. [[ What we ordered ]] I'll give an asterisk on what I thought was passable: 1.) Siu Mai* 2.) Ha Gaw* 3.) Leek Dumplings 4.) Turnip Cake* 5.) Shrimp Balls* 6.) Walnut Shrimp 7.) Custard Tart The Leek Dumplings had some weird skin around it that was so chewy and sticky that it was impossible to pick up with chopsticks. The Walnut Shrimp for $20 was really disappointing (the pic should say enough). Do not get the custard tarts here as they are extremely small and the crust is not fluffy/crispy at all. read more

My husband and I took our friends here for dim sum. I made reservations on a Sunday at noon and when we came our table was ready for us. It wasn't super busy so I would say reservations isn't mandatory. We ordered a lot and probably more than needed. Everything was pretty good and decent. Each portion was a good size. My favorites included the pork buns, shu mai, chinese donuts, and scallop dumplings. Our friends like the soup dumplings. I liked that they had items other dim sum places didn't have such as onion pancakes. They had a good selection and lots of variety. Everything we had we liked. Service was also good. But what I didn't liked was they nickel and dime you for everything. Tea is charged per person not by pot. So it was $1 each person. There was not water unless you get bottled water which was also $1 each. Cokes were $2.50. There is also a 15% gratuity charge at the end. We ended paying about $150 for a whole lot of food for the 4 of us. We did enjoy the food and would be back. read more

The place itself was quite spacious and calm even when customers started piling in after us. Overall, I highly recommend this place!! read more

This has been a South SJ neighborhood dim sum spot that I've grown up with, and I've always enjoyed coming here! I haven't been since pre-pandemic, but the quality hasn't changed. The prices have increased by a lot, and tea is no longer free. Service was friendly and fast on a weekday morning. We ordered by writing down how many dishes we wanted on a laminated menu. CHEONG FUN: 5/5 Literally my favorite thing to get at dim sum everywhere, but they do it really well here. The rice roll isn't too thick but not too thin, and it has a nice slip. The sauce is sweet and savory, where I've found other places to be really bland. HAR GOW: 4/5 Solid har gow! At this spot, I think I like this more than the siu mai by a tad. SIU MAI: 4/5 Nothing to complain about here! These were good but not my favorite. I like that they don't put too much roe on top. CRAB BALLS: 3.5/5 Good and standard, so nothing special but this is really expensive now! Would pass on this unless it's something you can't live without. This was the most expensive item on our bill. TURNIP CAKE: 2/5 This is also one of my favorite dim sum dishes, but not here. I will say, the flavor and crisp is certainly there, and that made this easier to eat. The texture, however, wasn't. It was really mushy and just not up to my expectations. I wouldn't get this here. read more
