  My family and I have been going to this place for years. They have the beat deal and it taste pretty good.
  It's located in the heart of East San Jose so don't expect fancy decor when you walk in but the place is pretty clean.
  
  It's pretty spacious and service isn't terrible. We usually go with my mom and she just demands service so we get our food pretty fast.
  
  I recommended the fried chicken wings. It's super juicy and flavorful. Their beef with Chinese broccoli is really good too. They have a 3 dish for $20 or $25 deal. Regardless of what you order, you always get their house soup to start.

  I'm still in shock that I put myself, my body, and my tastebuds through this sad excuse of a business.
  
  Came here because a family member absolutely raaaaaved about HK Dim Sum. This spot was actually thrown out as an idea for a family get together previously & after tonight, you couldn't pay me to come back.
  
  First and foremost, the dim sum selection around 6pm was pitiful. There were 3 kinds to choose from and with the glass case being super filthy and oily, I couldn't really see what I was looking at. Thinking it was the safest bet, we settled with two orders of shrimp dumplings, fried taro puffs, and 2 bbq item combo served with rice.
  
  The dim sum dishes came out first and I was immediately turned off by how dry and discolored the har gow was. Clearly they had been sitting out all day and were all dried up and crusty along the sides. The bbq plate looked okay but it was clear that the roasted pork and duck were also dry from sitting out for too long.
  
  We managed to eat what we could and although we walked away full from all the junk, we were not even close to being happy. Total cost wasn't too expensive but at $3.80- $4.00 a serving for the dry a** dumplings, I'm gonna confidently say HELL NAHHH!!  Quality here is garbage, you're better off eating instant noodles at home- you can thank me later.

  Entree-wise, I've only tried their wonton noodle soup and it was quite tasty and the portion was quite generous. Dim sum wise, I'm pretty basic. I typically just get the shu mai, har gow, and if I'm really hungry, one of the rice noodle rolls to go. Sometimes, I'll get other dishes, but mainly those three.
  
  This is one of the more casual dim sum places near campus, which I appreciate since I'm on the go pretty often. I can definitely say that although the dim sum is decent and satisfies your craving, this isn't my #1 "go-to" place for dim sum.They've definitely raised their prices up since I first came here about a year ago, but that's just Silicon Valley everywhere.

  It used to be cheaper, the dim sum lunch used to be $7 , now it's $9.  They are decent and pretty much will fill you up.  
  
  The stand out item is really their porridge, it's thick, creamy, and full of flavor.  Add a fried dough stick, boom, instant HK breakfast.

  I think you have to look at this place in three parts: the baked goods, the dim sum, and the roasted duck/pork as they all vary in quality even within their respective categories. The review is for to-go orders only because that's what I think the place is intended for.
  
  Roasted Duck/Pork section is located in the right corner by the door. Excellent, consistent cook and meat quality all around for a decent price. 4/5
  
  Dim Sum options are the typical items you'd order at a dim sum restaurant, but meant to be reheated for to-go since they're just sitting on racks and under heat lamps. The Siu Mai are huge, juicy, and probably their best item. The Har Gow however, was really dry inside and out while wrapped in a very thick rice sheet which made it unpleasant.
  
  Baked goods are scattered throughout on either side of the line and there are racks on racks of them. The large Bánh Bao were not worth $3.80 for their quality. That along with most of their filled baked goods such as the buns, were mostly just dough. They really skimp you on the filling. Wack. They have a bunch of these in the freezer too, but judging by this fresh one, I wouldn't buy more than 1 if they're all like that.
  
  Note: it's a bit of a long line on both sides of the store and it's also cash only.
