Dishes like shrimp paste pulled pork in glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf, which hails from Cheung Chau. Even within HK there are many styles of dim sum that are unknown or even inaccessible to casuals. Old school dim sum has huge portions, and has hearty dishes that are oily and salty. However, for old world authenticity you might have to find a Tai Shan place in SF or Oakland Chinatown. They have really good beef balls (aerated and elastic), tea options, seafood dim sum, and are up-to-date on the latest HK dim sum styles. Hope you get a chance to expand your perspective, maybe try a chicken foot or two.Have a nice life.Īyoo dim sum is much more than just dumplings. My god lol just look on google maps and type in Dimsum, it’s ridiculous I feel so lucky to be here with all these options, especially after having moved away to cities that have a fraction of what we have here. Some take out dimsum new hwong kok in east side- was a favorite of ours in high school, li yuan, even king egg roll Koi palace- more expensive, but has some more upscale dishes, their crispy pork is really good, mayflower, jade Cathay, fu lam,

Saigon harbor - they’ve changed owners but still great food. Since it sounds like you’re not from around here here’s a couple you can go try: dynasty- I went here with my family all the time growing up, classic carts experience. I hope you are will get the chance to experience more of the culture and what food the South Bay bc it sounds like you’ve never had that chance yet.

If this were literally anywhere else,then ok I would want to know what’s worth going to.īut San Jose/South Bay and Asian food is best you’ll get. Just a quick look on google you can see 37% of San Jose is AsianĪll these people bring with them what is “authentic” to their culture. San Jose is an incredibly diverse city with immigrants from all over the world. Lol ok, I’m saying this is San Jose, have you seen our demographic? This isn’t some random town trying to introduce dimsum to people for the first time.
