    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Very yummy dim sum. Looks like a hole in the wall restaurant but it better than you think.

    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.

    So much food!
    Elaine G.

    Hosted a larger dim sum lunch with my in laws and my parents who are big on Chinese food and they were impressed by the food! They exclaimed that every dish we ordered was delicious. Service was also pretty helpful. Ambiance is just so so as it's located in a hotel off the freeway and the parking lot was looking a little sketchy at first. That said it's easy to overlook that with such delicious 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.

    Very busy on Sunday noon as usual. Food is above average as usual. Service was adequate. By the way 10% off if checked out before 1130am on sat/sun.

    Salted fish and chicken fried rice
    Kaho L.

    My favorite dim sum spot in the South Bay! This is a legit Hong Kong / Cantonese dim sum restaurant. They put a lot of care into each item. Nothing feels too greasy or heavy. Easy to order via pencil and paper menus, no carts here. Surprisingly short wait even on a Sunday afternoon, as it's a very large restaurant with lots of seating. Some of my favorite items - egg tarts, beef tripe, taro puff, salted fish & chicken fried rice, lotus leaf sticky rice, and HK style hot milk tea. Decent sized parking lot but you may need to get lucky sometimes to find a spot.

    BBQ Pork Bun yumm!
    Bao N.

    Although you don't get Dim Sum Cart Ladies strolling around with steaming hot dim sum to pick from, you order from a dim sum order form what you want and they quickly bring it out. I've been here several times now, and it has been consistently amazing each time. ALSO, if you dine in and leave by 11:30am, you get 10% off on the weekend...my kinda deal! All my favorite dim sum options tasted great. My only complaint is they ration out their chili oil and soy sauce and bring teeny dipping tray and you have to keep asking for more. I prefer having the condiments at the table for self service. We also ordered the Hong Kong style combination crispy noodles and it was super excellent. I can't wait to come back here to try dinner options.

    I managed to get a reservation at 7:45pm on a Friday. We were seated after a little wait at a…read morebar/counter. We ordered the kumquat umeshu highball and the lemon oolong highball and really enjoyed, quite refreshing. We ended up getting the small squab, lamb skewer, Mapo spaghetti, and eggplant. I liked that they had a small squab option which was perfect for two people. The meal started with complimentary cucumbers and peanuts snacks perfect paired with a drink. Everything was delicious but if I pick a favorite, I think it would be the eggplant. The lamb was very tender and flavorful. It's a small restaurant so I would probably only come with 2-4 people. I think you can walk in but the wait seemed quite long so I'd try to get a res. I wish it was easier to get one or I'd be back more often :)

    Read about a lot of hype about this restaurant and my friend secured a coveted Friday night dinner…read morereservation here, so we decided to give it a try. It's kind of a tiny hold-in-the-wall space at the edge of Chinatown, removed on the outskirts of the very busy central shopping & market districts, and I would not have even noticed it had I been casually walking around not looking for it. Underneath a learning center and with only a faint front facade, inside is a world of good food in a tight tiny space, bustling positive energy & vibes, and a uniquely Hong Kong dining experience that's a lot cleaner than the surrounding Chinese restaurants. At first glance of the menu, I didn't think that there would be much for us to eat here. I mostly stick to vegetarian & lighter fares, especially when dining before weekend concert or entertainment adventures. Once inside, we were greeted by a very cordial hostess and many friendly waitstaff. They proceeded to guide us through the menu and were very patient & attentive with our indecisiveness & slow speed to order. Once we figured out our selections, they were very happy to place our order and quickly brought out our selections. Every dish was well-presented. Portions can be a bit tiny, but we prefer small portions anyways, to sample as much we can without filling up and feeling weighed down. After sampling the free seasoned peanuts & marinated cucumbers, we started with the Kumquat ume-shu & osmanthus Lemon highballs. They were very tasty & refreshing, small-ish in size/quantity, but quite good & a good balance of flavorful mixers along with alcohol. The diner next to us encouraged us to also try the Chinese almond milk highball, which is not made from almond extract, but true almond milk that was carefully extracted & infused. All of the drinks were good, but I'd have to say that the Kumquat ume-shu was the winner and I'd drink it again. We ordered mostly small vegetarian bites. Sichauan cabbage, snap peas in tofu dressing, Sichauan potatoes, and olive green beans. The dishes were very good, but I wasn't a fan of the heavy sauces & flavoring used. The Sichauan tasted a bit more sour & bitter than I expected, although the vegetables with it were cooked well enough to retain some "crunch," and tasted fresh and clean. The sauces were a bit overpowering and abundant and I felt like the vegetables were drowning in them. We watched as other diners ordered more adventurous carnivore & pescatarian dishes and were amazed at the portion sizes, presentation, and appeal of such things as crab, squab, clams, jellyfish, escargot, scallops, lamb, steak, chicken, and pig head. Almost made me feel like I was missing out by being a vegetarian in a traditional Chinese restaurant, everything looked so good! But, they also looked really heavy & were smothered in sauce & seasoning too, and I like my food light, delicate, fresh, and clean. We were satiated & satisfied with our meal when they unexpected brought out a free round of the vegetarian chow mein. It was huge, and we barely even made a dent in it after eating our courses of vegetables & cocktails. I have to say, the chow mein that i did eat was great. It was perfectly oily, tasty, slippery, and salty as good chow mein should be. It was buried under a mound of vegetable toppings, but the noodles underneath were divine and some of the best that I've ever had. The restaurant is very busy, it's loud, it's bustling, it's crowded, it's fun, and its friendly. Staff constantly monitoring the room & checking in/up with diners. Lots of authentic Chinese pop culture decorations such as posters, pictures, memorabilia, trinkets, and furnishings to look at on the walls & shelves. The bar is tiny, narrow and constantly packed elbow-to-elbow. It has some smaller 2-seat cafe tables, a few larger tables for bigger parties, a narrow corridor, and a good view of the kitchen to watch the chefs create their dishes. Faint background Chinese pop music was literally drowned out by the noise of many diners having conversation but it added to the authentic HK dining experience. I liked Four Kings. It was a great dining experience with good food & excellent service. I would probably stick with highball cocktails & some lighter vegetarian fare if I came back here again. I'd probably avoid the Sichauan sauced dishes, as I wasn't a fan of the sour/bitter flavors. But the snap peas, green beans, and chow mein were my favorites. We had fun dining here, and I feel lucky to have tried a place so popular & in demand. It had a younger, upbeat, youthful feel to it, reflecting the waitstaff & demographics of its diners. I was very clean, organized, efficient, friendly, fun, and tasty, and everyone here had good vibes. Would come back here again knowing what I like now, and look forward to trying maybe some eggplant, spinach, or rice dishes next time. And I can honestly feel that there will be a next time soon!

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.

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.

    *********************3.5 stars*******************…read more Today we stopped by for my friend's birthday lunch. Of all places, I don't know why she picked Fong Kee Clay Pot. Several months ago, I visited Fong Kee Clay Pot with a different friend who gave it rave reviews. The food isn't gross, but it's something I can make myself. Cook some meat and rice, and throw it in a clay pot. Although I didn't want to come here, the rest of my friends were excited to try this place. I kept my mouth shut and didn't express my opinion. Maybe I should have spoken up because everyone was underwhelmed by what we ordered. My food was bland and needed more flavor, but I wasn't sure what to add to make it more flavorful. What I shared with my husband: Preserved egg and chicken porridge with a Chinese donut Chinese sausage w/ salted fish I was disappointed by the amount of salted fish in my bowl. I found a few sheer pieces of basically nonexistent fish in my fish. It takes less than two dollars to make this dish, so I have no idea why a bowl of rice costs $17. I love preserved egg and chicken porridge, but this one lacked sodium and preserved duck egg flavor. My guess is that they made plain porridge and dumped chicken and preserved egg into it instead of cooking it on slow simmer. My friend had to send her dish back because she found a hair on her food. The next time a friend suggests Clay Pot, I will suggest a better alternative and spare us disappointment.

    I finally tried this place…read more Let me share something about that sticker shocked me before you make your decision to go here. They charge you 18% Service Charge right off the bat. "This service charge is not meant to be a gratuity but is instead used by management for operational costs including providing employees fair wages and benefits." Based on their volume and price with dishes averaging $10 for 3-4 pieces for dim sum this shouldn't be an issue. I had a better experience this time. I reserved on Yelp and got seated right away. We got tea and a menu you can mark up for your order. No dim sum cart to make you order with your eyes. We had 6 dishes with the chive shrimp dumplings and rice roll with bbq pork and crispy roll inside. We got 6 items and with the 18% it ended up being $74 for two people. The food was decent but for this price I would have gone to Dim Sum King and have some extra money for something else.

    Came here based on friends recommendations!…read more We made a reservation for 10:30 and were seated right away. Servers were very attentive and quick. They get the food out and stamp it off as they bring it to your table. Unfortunately some of the dishes we ordered were lacking flavor. We left wanting more. The Shanghai dumplings were pretty good, the shrimp rice noodle roll is a solid choice as well. Overall solid 4/5 and would come back with friends and family, and definitely make a reservation!! This place fills up fast.

    I have not been to Lei Garden in a long while. This used to be our weekly weekend brunch spot but…read morefor some reason, we stopped coming here. Anyway, we were shopping in the area and decided to stop by for a dim sum lunch. The restaurant was not very busy so we got seated right away. We placed our order via the order sheet. No carts since it was a weekeday. We had our usual Char Siew bun (steamed), Soy sauce Chow Mein, Chinese donut rolled in soft noodles, pan fried chive dumplings, Lo Mai Kai (steamed rice in lotus leaves), stuffed peppers, and sesame balls. This is one of the few dim sum restaurants that serve the stuffed peppers. Food was generally good. I love the hot sauce they have at the table. We literally devoured it! I had forgotten how delicious the stuffed peppers were - they still taste great! Steamed Char Siew bun was a little disappointing - too much bun (bao) and not enough filling. The char siew was also rather tough and tasted rather bland. The chinese donut in steam noodles was good and the chow Mein was tasty. Sesame balls (my favorite dim sum dessert) was not too bad. could have been better if it was warmer. Service was OK. I feel that the servers are sometimes rather grumpy - could be the reason why we stopped coming here. Prices are also a little steep compared to what you got - smaller portions.

Interior is nicely decorated. There were maybe a few other parties dining in, and some takeout orders too. A huge contrast from their packed dim sum weekend guests. We had the braised tofu and the house pan fried noodles. They gave us some pickled cabbage as a palate cleanser too. Tofu was perfectly braised, flavors were all there. Pan fried noodles were nice and crisp. Everything was delicious. Service was prompt. We wound up taking the pan fried noodles home as leftovers, good portion sizes. A tad expensive, but good quality and taste. They brought us a nai wong bao (custard bun) as dessert after the meal, really nice touch.

The service staff were fast and efficient in cleaning up finished plates and placing the apps and entrees of the set menu. The bartenders were great and friendly with the drink service. The venue has a dessert container with notable brands like Haagen-Dazs and melona bars. The whole restaurant was grand that can occupy a stage, projectors, and lots of fun lights. The food was a great set menu primary of seafood dishes like abalone, lobster noodles, seafood salad, and so much more. Great experience!

Plenty of private rooms to dine in, 2 humongous TV, and plenty to space esp for a wedding. Well, we reserved for a party of 24. Placed our order, but the food took a while to come out. It did not seem so busy for a Friday night around 7:30pm. There were plenty of tables available. When our first dish came out, it was the fish maw soup. Which is usually eaten with red vinegar and white pepper, but there was none on our table. We asked for white pepper 3x and no one brought it to us. The soup ended up being ao bland, the only bland dish for the night, because everything else we ordered are SALTY!!!!! SALTY! SALTY! SALTY! We ordered 2 of everything bc we had to 2 tables. Thefried shrimp, SALTY! Honey walnut shrimp, SALTY! Expensive lobster with noodle, SALTY! A few tofu dishes, SALTY! Clams were okay. I forgot what else we ordered, but it was SALTY! And I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Service was HORRIBLE!! I had to ask for water for 3 different people, I order in English and Chinese, and still nothing. The white pepper we asked showed up around the end of meal. I'm not sure if all the staff were new, but it was horrible service. Especially for a $1,000 meal, we want better service, just asking for the bare minimum. Will not be attending again.
