New Chinese Korean restaurant in the former Fuki Sushi locale. Same exact decor, including the former restaurant name on the front, with only a hand-written whiteboard that shows the Chinese name. Menu doesn't show it, but the proprietor (waiter?) strongly steered us toward the noodles (homemade) and dumplings bc we spoke Chinese. Understandable: Korea is decidedly near Northern China (which features dumplings & noodles for ots cuisine). We asked for low (or no) spice since we had an elderly person with us who couldn't ingest spice. As a result, absolutely every dish lacked flavor. From the Dry Zahjian noodles to the dumplings to the Mingolian Beef. When I added the table hot pepper paste, things got a bit better. Instructive, and we may give them another shot at us and let them deploy the full flavor. The noodles themselves were really good. Somewhat chewy and authentically homemade. But the Zhejiang sauce was too dark, too plain, and the other ingredients (classically this should have been full of ground pork) were notably absent. Gow choy shrimp dumplings were a tad bland (needed more salt in the stuffing). The Pork Knuckles (appetizer) were supposed to be cold. But they served it straight from the refrigerator, so it was COLD, and anappetizing. Actually pretty well flavored (five spice), but tough. Pork knuckles need to be cooked thoroughly so they melt in your mouth, not be a challenge for your molars! Mongolian Beef really lacked flavor, and the beef was overdone (also not well cut, so it emphasized the doneness). The onions and scallions were well flavored and well cut - had the beef been more tender, this would've been good. The only dish that was well executed in full was the baby bok choy. Slightly crisp at the stem and the low-salt approach helped the fresh vegetable stand out. Disappointing. Was really hoping to have discovered yet another good new restaurant. May give them another chance after 6 - 8 months, when they've had a chance to mature - if they stay that long.

A must try for cold Zhangpi Must-try dry-cooked chicken Must drink crispy rice soup Dumplings with delicious fillings Delicious food Quiet environment Rare restaurant Worth recommending to everyone

Good halal food. Lots of choices. Extremely good service. Definitely would highly recommended. I tried Sweet and sour chicken, Cumin olive lamb, Three flavored chow mein and Three flavored fried rice 😋

Darda Seafood Restaurant is good food. The spicy garlic sauce on the shredded chicken is extremely hot and really good. The red chilis are not to be eaten, lol. But other than that, the food came out quickly. This was my first visit to Darda Seafood restaurant, and I plan to return again soon. This is a guys lunch spot, and everything is prepared Halal. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good lunch spot with fast service.

Shang Cafe has been keeping up to their high standard, which speaks for itself. The food is delicious and portion is good. They are moderate in terms of seasoning and salts. But still manage to make the dishes delicious. They keep pushing new creations, which are usually good! Good job all these years!

The service was great and the servers were very helpful with any questions we had. Each serving of rice was literally two bowls worth (see picture). The food very good.

Unlike ordinary Chinese restaurants in the United States, I was so satisfied because the scent of the dish was strong or not too salty. Especially, appitaizer and the soft tofu dish was really delicious, but orange chicken tasted a little unexpected. We were a little worried about ordering too many dishes, but we finished our plates. When we went, we were relatively free and they looked pretty kind. I have a revisit intention, and I recommend you to visit.

I've been coming to this restaurant since the late 90's, and there has never been a time that I can remember, when I've had a bad meal here. The siblings Frank and Lilly, who started the restaurant with a vision of bringing authentic Chinese cusine to Santa Clara, have withheld it's commitment, prestige, and status in the community. The service is always consistent and the wait staff is like family, especially Hugo, he has seen me and my brother grow up since teenagers. I'm so proud of this establishment, keeping a float, as all the smaller mom and pop shops around them in the Plaza have all gone away. If you are from Santa Clara, and don't know about China Stix, you live under a rock.

Great service, dishes came very quickly, server was responsive when we asked for something. Although Hunan cuisine is known for being very spicy, they definitely toned the spice level down to suit the locals. We asked for less spicy which was perfect for our likings. People eating at our table were from Taiwan, Wuhan, 潮汕 for references. Every dish was absolutely delicious and makes you crave more. The fried intestines were my favorite, not even a tiny bit of off flavor, they cleaned it to perfection.

This authentic Chinese restaurant offers generous portions, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish is full of flavor, making it a fantastic choice for anyone craving traditional Chinese cuisine.

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. They charge extraordinarily high prices for substandard food. I ordered a braised fish dish and when I took a bite the fish tasted like it had gone bad. When I went back to complain the cashier denied that the fish had spoiled and insisted that they only serve fresh seafood. Either they don't taste their own food or they're a disreputable business willing to sell rotting food to make a quick buck. Everyone knows the smell of near-rotting fish and I almost threw up eating it. The cashier offered to exchange the fish for a random dish of her own choice then warned me that she was being overly generous and that this replacement for rotting food will never happen again (of course, she didn't bother to ask if I had any allergies before handing me whatever she picked). Luckily, I wasn't allergic to any of the ingredients. Unfortunately, the cooking oil tasted like it hasn't been changed in a month (old and rancid), so I ended up throwing out the entire box of food. I remember when this place had different owners. There were fewer options but it was always fresh and decent quality. The new management is pushy, rude, marks up prices by 1000%, and sells rotten food. The interior of this restaurant now looks dingy and dirty and my plastic bag had a funky smell. I doubt if this place could pass any kind of unannounced Department of Health food safety inspection. Eat at your own risk!

They sell both ready to eat as well as frozen Chinese food for takeout only. It is not the cheapest but the portion size is pretty generous. What drew us to this place was their smoked chicken. And very often there is a long line of customers.

I really like the beef huoshao here! Inside is juicy but soup isn't spilling out, outside is flaky. The lamb and 3 flavor dumplings were also good. I like how it's hot but not so hot I immediately burn my mouth. You can almost eat it immediately. The lamb soup was flavorful too if you like lamb. In general I'd come back again, it's a small little shop with very nice staff.

The dumplings are all handmade and fresh!!! As a huge fan of dumpling, this place is definitely authentic! We don’t favor the seaweed but everything else are all soooooo good!

Have a Saturday brunch at this location with some friends and is impressed with the elegant settings of the dining hall which indeed has the look of a place where nobility and the well-off people will be dining in. In general, the food is great as compared to other locations that are selling dim sum dishes. However, the waitresses managing the dim sum carts are a bit too pushy in promoting the various dim sum dishes to us which is still okay for me as they are polite even when doing so. My only gripe is that the price for a few slices of roast suckling pig is costing $36.00 which totally ramp up the whole cost of the meal for a group of three.

We love carts Dim Sum! The place is very big, and while the wait was long, it was totally worth it. They have a great variety of Chinese small plates, mostly steamed dumplings. The service was quick, and we got to try everything we wanted. We also ordered some noodles from the menu, which were great too!

+ Authentic and delicious beef soup + Tons of choices and varieties + Great service. Very friendly. A family / community vibe. + Reasonably priced

Went for dinner in the middle of the week. There wasn't many people dining in so I got a table immediately. Ordered 3 dishes: noodles, pork belly and beef soup. The noodles was the highlight of the dinner. I would highly recommend it. It's slightly hot where you can feel the heat but not much after that. They also have the numbing oil to pair with it. The beef soup was very delicious. The beef slices in there are soft and tender. The broth itself taste very clean. The dish I didn't like was the pork belly over the mustard greens. The pork was very salty and was hard to eat. I wouldn't recommend this. I like this restaurant a lot. Would come back again.

2-3 stars objectively but I want to put 4 stars for memories. You've been here; you know it; it's exactly the same. This location is cleaner and faster than in Mountain View. If you've never been, it's big cheap fast and crowded. Mostly Mexicans who call it Chinese, but it's Vietnamese. Dishes are mostly dough, some meat, and rarely any vegetables. It's not very good food or dining experience but it's comfortable. I'd recommend the taro fried dough with egg (warning contains peanut!) Or rice noodle soups. We always get a couple pounds of frozen meatballs and a cup of orange juice when we pay. It's the only reason we come anymore. Used to be $6 before the pandemic, but now it's $12 for a bowl.

The spicy beef sate rice sticks are fenomenal. All rice cake noodles are great, authentic, very flavory. Everything came in large portions and we couldn’t finish three plates between the three of us. We definitely want to go back!

Good food open late! What is there not to like? Food is always good. Service is good, but can be slow when spikes occur. Venue is a bit dated but there is always plenty of parking. A better option for those late night munchies than the usual suspects Been here more than a dozen times in recent years and the food is always consistent . It is our go to late night destination

FLY in SOUP! See picture. It's shocking. What's worse is the "don't care" kind of attitude from the two waitresses. When asking for manager they said the manager was not there. What kind of restaurant has no manager on site during the lunch hour? We used to come here for food every now and then and had good impression. However, it feels quite different now and the food quality this time is really unimpressive and oily. Never come here again!

Stumbled on this gem by accident and it couldn't have been any better. The staff was kind, friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing and portions were quite generous! We ordered the following: .Creme cheese won tons: They were deliciously crispy and filled with a very rich cream cheese filling. You could definitely taste the scallions which I personally love. .Hunan chicken: Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, tossed in an amazing hunan sauce. Not spicy despite the peppers. Couldn't get enough of it, I literally had to stop myself from just continuing to eat until I was finished. . Combination chow main: We decided on chicken and beef, again an amazing choice. The noodles were exceptionally prepared in a great sauce, they didn't need any soy sauce or anything, they were perfect. The beef was tender but not soggy, cooked to perfection. I'm obsessed with this place, looks like they do a lot of take-out so don't hesitate to try it out! I will definitely be back, best Chinese restaurant I've found in the area!

One of the great hole in the wall restaurants in San Jose. We love the tangerine beef and order it every time we go or get takeout.
