Crispy Fried Pork
Vernon M.

We decided to try this dm sum place in Sunnyvale, located just off of 101 and Lawrence Expressway. It seems to be a well-liked place, as the tables were all filled within the first hour of opening. First of all, I agree with the previous reviews here stating that it is a hit or miss. We ordered a variety of items on our visit. Some were really tasty, others were merely "meh." The hits were Peking Duck (flavorful and tender meat) - I appreciate the addition of sliced cucumber sticks to the regular thin-sliced onions and sauce; the cucumbers added a delightful change of texture), the Salt & Pepper Sole w/ Black Bean sauce (large, flavorful and tender pieces of fish, onions that were cooked slightly longer to bring out their inherent sweetness), and the steamed broccoli (again, slightly longer cooking to bring out the flavor). What surprisingly did not work was the dim sum, as well as the chrysanthemum tea and rice. And the one thing that ruined what probably would have been some very tasty food was the strong taste of chlorine! This informs me that the water they use to steam and cook is water from the tap that is not filtered. I took one iOS of the chrysanthemum tea, relishing the what I thought was the strong chrysanthemum flavor, but after a few seconds it was apparent that the water was chlorinated. (I do not recommend ordering any tea or water here.) The steamed dim sum had the chlorinated smell and taste, as well as the rice, too! It is too bad, though, that the main flavor throughout was chlorine. I really lost my appetite for the rest of the meal. Regarding the order in which they bring out the food, they start from the top and proceed down the order list. I ordered rice, but it was down towards the bottom of the list, and it was the very last thing to arrive - after having eaten everything else we ordered above it! What a waste of rice! (Well, it smelled like chlorine, too, . . .). Before the wait person takes down your order, I highly suggest ordering the items you would like first, followed by everything else. If Sufu Wong Kitchen decides to invest in a quality water filtration system as other fine restaurants have (quite an expense, I will add), I am sure that the food will be so much more tasty and enjoyable (maybe even garnering another star or two . . .)

Had high expectations coming here but was a bit disappointed. Decent dim sum but nothing special. The chicken feet had great color and texture but the flavor was a bit bland. The siu mai didn't seem fresh as it was a little sour and the texture was hard (not scrumptious), ties went for both the pork and the shrimp inside. The lava bun did not 流, was more like a custard texture rather than melty and runny. The bbq pork puff pastry wasn't very flaky at all. The bean cured with pumpkin dish was rather interesting from the sounds of it so we got it, but it was super bland overall. The shrimp rice noodle was ok: scrumptious shrimp but the rice noodle itself was not as thin and smooth as it could be. My favorite dish was the stuffed eggplant of everything we ordered.

Bookmarked on my wish list for awhile, but this weekend was the opportunity to dine in. Our mom wanted dim sum to celebrate Mother's Day, so our family came 1 day early. We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later.

Chicken feet
Arthur T.

Decided to try out a new dim sum spot from the normal go-to. Two of us ordered: tea $2/pp fried taro dumpling $7.60, came pretty late mango pomelo sago $7.60, needed more sago siu mai $7.60 chicken feet $7.60 chinese tender green $17.60 deep fried pumpkin with salty egg yolk $12.60 Definitely on the pricier end. $18 for greens is a bit criminal. Pumpkin was a bit tasteless. No salted egg yolk flavor. Definitely nicer ambiance inside than other places. Plus that there's TVs so they may be playing sports when timing lines up! Parking lot onsite.

It's been a few years since my review and everything is as good as I remember with great service and delicious Cantonese food. The restaurant is connected to a hotel and it is large, clean and spacious. We were here for a banquet in a private room and I enjoyed all the dishes. My favorites were the Peking Duck, sautéed geoduck and steamed fish. So good!

Crispy calamari 5/5
Ngoc T.

This is my go-to spot for friend gatherings for dim sum, mainly because my best friend love their black sesame egg custard buns. Ironically, I'm not a fan of them myself--they're a bit too eggy for my taste. When it comes to dim sum quality and service, I honestly prefer Koi Palace. The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience.

Pineapple bun
Kristine S.

Still good dim sum but prices are definitely higher. Menu is getting longer but haven't tried the new items. I do like their har gow and sui mai and sticky rice with lotus leaf. Pan fried noodles with seafood is also delicious add on to the dim sum. Don't forget to ask for the yellow mustard. If you like spicy this is spicy. Small amount goes a long way.

Beef ball
Krajicek K.

Food: dim sum and lunch dishes were made when ordered so it came out warm. They were not sitting in a cart for a long time like some other places. Food were fresh and no msg! Service: a bit understaffed and slow. The restaurant were 80% full but there were only 3 wait staff managing all.

Inside the restaurant
Ann M.

My husband I pass by this place all the time. It took us 3 years to finally try it. Parking lot was packed. Luckily, we only had to drive around once to find parking. We now know we can join the waitlist on Yelp, so noting that for next time. We got dim sum. It is pricy but it's the quality. Everything was really good. Our favorite dim sum in order: 1. Fried eggplant with pepper and garlic tofu 2. Truffle Scallop Dumpling 3. BBQ Pork Puff Pastry 4. Fried Taro Dumpling 5. Sichuan chili oil chicken 6. Fried Salty Dumpling 7. Siu Mai 8. Spare Ribs They charged $2 per person for tea. My husband read somewhere if you pay cash there is a discount. It is inaccurate. I paid cash and I didn't get a discount. It was really busy inside but the wait food wasn't that long. It didn't seem too loud either.

Asahi beer
Amy N.

Came here for my cousin's birthday, but this was actually my second time here. The first time I came here was during the first year they opened and during brunch for dim sum. We ordered asahi beer, fried rice, sea bass, chicken feet, salt & petter prawns, hot & sour soup, and roasted pork belly. The asahi beer we ordered was fine, but we felt like we got the end of the draft keg or something because it was pretty bitter. I didn't mind the taste because I usually drink Heineken, but my boyfriend couldn't finish his beer by end of the meal. The first items to come out was the hot & sour soup, roasted pork belly and the chicken feet. I loved the hot & sour soup, but all the guys said it was way too sour than usual for them. The roasted pork belly wasn't as tender or fatty compared to other places we usually eat from. I do like that at least it came with hoisin sauce because although the pieces are in chunks, it could get overwhelming to consume. The chicken feet definitely had the black bean flavor, but could've been more flavorful. For some reason, it looked like the chicken feet is cut in half here when eating it. The salt & pepper prawns were decent. We wished that it came with sauce because it became too dry to eat overtime. The egg fried rice was surprisingly pretty good and a great addition to the sea bass we ordered. They were probably my favorite dishes along with the hot & sour soup. Glad I got to try this restaurant again years later. I feel like there are so many dim sum and Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, so it all comes down to democracy preferences and votes when eating out.

I've been noticing Sifu Wong Kitchen, which serves Cantonese and dim sum dishes, every time I pass by. The restaurant is located on the right wing, separate from the Ramada Hotel if you're facing it from the street. It's an older building, so it could use a facelift, but I wouldn't say it looks sketchy, contrary to some reviews. My partner and I were seated promptly on a Saturday evening. The staff was attentive and friendly. The place was steady but not full. The menu is well-organized with clear, high-resolution pictures. We ordered a few dim sum items from a separate paper menu and some other dishes from the main menu. FOOD - Siu Mai - BBQ Pork Buns (steamed) - Chinese Broccoli - Crispy Walnut Shrimp - Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice All dishes were well-prepared and tasty. The portions were generous and reasonable for the price. We left with plenty of leftovers because we over-ordered, craving a variety of dishes. Overall, I plan to return and try more items from the menu.

Beef long noodle (cherng fun)
Miriam T.

I finally got the chance to try Sifu Wong for lunch. I dropped in and added myself to the waiting list. Barely 4 minutes passed and my table of 2 was called. Hostess gives you the menu and the dim sum checklist. When my friend arrived, we started placing our orders. We ordered crunchy pork bun, turnip cake, beef long noodle, lobster e-fu noodle and Siu Mai. Crunchy bun was different. The top was crunchy but not sweet. There wasn't any flavor I tasted from the turnip cake and it was dry instead of steamy. Siu Mai was meaty and a mouthful. I didn't get any strong flavor off it like I do at other dim sum places. Beef long noodle had a light taste and the noodle sheet was thin but looks are deceiving. When I bit into it, the sheet was just right and not really light to eat. The lobster was well-presented on the dish on top of the e-fu noodles. I didn't get much of a taste off the lobster but it was at least well cooked and the meat was juicy. The noodles tasted more like a pasta than a Chinese dish. It reminds me of seafood pasta. I would rate the restaurant a 4 for the cleanliness, modern design and food.

Vegetarian Deluxe
Agnes Y.

Heard that they have overhauled their kitchen staff and decided to give their dinner a try to see what new dishes they have. We were seated at the bar area which was nice and bright with a big screen TV. We pre-ordered a Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken 脆皮糯米雞 and took the waiter's recommendation for the rest: Fish Maw, Wonton, and Chicken in a Clay Pot 沙鍋花膠雲吞雞, Black Pepper Beef Short Rib 黑椒牛仔骨, Braised Black Cod with Shiitake Mushrooms and Roast Pork Belly 火腩冬菇黑鱈魚, and a Deluxe Vegetarian Dish 榆耳黃耳雞髀菇。 Food was delicious! The stuffed chicken was a free range chicken and was really crispy on the outside. The sticky rice was perfectly cooked and was yummy. The wonton clay pot was really good and it was a great value. There were six big pieces of fish maw and the wontons were very well made. The chicken was tender and tasty. The vegetarian dish was excellent with the fancy fungus. The black cod was tender and tasty. The beef short rib was very nicely presented with a big piece of bone. The only thing about it was that it was premade and it could be tasted. Our server Bailey was excellent. He's very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave excellent recommendations. He's friendly and hard working, and provided attentive service. We were given really nice complimentary desserts: Baked Tapioca Pudding and Fried Mochi. Overall it was an excellent meal and prices were reasonable for the quality of food.

So much food!

We ended up being seated in the far back of the restaurant, right in front of the kitchen and where all the staff handle the plates. It is not a good location to be seated because it was loud at times from the clinking of the plates from the staff. The food came out instantly after we placed our order. It was super fresh and piping hot. We got a variety of dim sums and a beef chow fun. The dim sum is decent and comparable to other places I have eaten at. The ones that stood out were the beef rice rolls and pan fried chive and shrimp dumplings. Unfortunately, the beef chow fun was our least favorite because it lacked flavor. Some of the staff are kind of rude too. I asked for our tea because it was taking a long time to arrive and she glared at me and didn't give me a response. Also, when it came time for the bill, one of the staff lingered around our table to watch us tip. Parking can be difficult as they have a small lot. By the time we arrived past 1pm, it was completely filled and we just so happened to get lucky with one empty spot remaining.

The Peking duck with bao buns was a great value at $50 for a whole duck and tasted delicious. My favorite dish was the shrimp paste with crab claws--it was perfectly balanced, juicy, flavorful, and crispy. Overall, everything we ordered was good. The only dish that was just okay was the char siu. My niece actually wanted the roasted pork but accidentally ordered the char siu instead. It wasn't bad, just not as memorable as the rest of the meal. The staff was friendly and responsive. We were able to wave down our waiter whenever we needed water refills or to-go containers, and they were quick to help. Overall, this is a solid spot that delivers on both food and service. I'd definitely come back.
