Chinese Dim Sum

The food quality at Tai Pan is probably the best within all the dimsum restaurants in the bay area. The food is delicious and I could taste the flavor from the food ingredients with a nice balance of the seasoning. The only downside is that the price is also slightly higher compared to other places. However, if you enjoy really nice dimsum with high quality, you don't miss out on this place.

Went for saturday brunch, they have outdoor seatings and plenty of indoor seatings. My chinese friend took me here so I knew it’d be good ? food was yummy, i liked that broccolini as a side and of course all shrimp dinsums.

Man these prices are for Atherton residents. The prices are nearly double what other traditional dimsum places offer. It was $8.80 per plate of dimsum which is pretty outrageous. However, each dish was made with care and is delicious. My favorite part is that there wasn't a dish that was greasy or oily. There is definitely craft in the dish but not sure if that is comparable to the price.

We’ve ordered fried rice, salt and pepper fish, and sweet and sour chicken. The food are nicely cooked and prepared. The fish was surprisingly have a nice crisp outside and soft inside. The sweet and sour chicken was prepared with an actual pineapple shell. However, considering the portion size we didn’t expect to pay more than $120 for 3-4 entrees.

Spectacular Cantonese fair. A bit pricey but worth every cent!

My friend told me about dim sum but I had no idea what I was getting into. Meaning this was a first time experience. Talk about unbelievable food and service. The food was very fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked. I don't think I've ever had such great seafood. Pair with their jasmin tea, it was all smiles. The prices are up there but you get what you paid for and totallt worth it for a first time. Parking is tight, they have outdoor/indoor dining, follow covid protocols with clean environment.

We ordered :Flounder Two Taste (Fried and Sauteed with Vegetable)Tofu with Duet MushroomMixed Vegetable Fried Brown RiceMushroom dumpling.My husband was disappointed by Flounder - too oily - not well prepared, tasteless vegetables. We didn’t like the vegetable fried rice. The tufo was mediocre.I will not go back and certainly will not recommend it to anyone.

For perfect taste, texture and flavor, be it meat, vegetables, seafood, or soup, this is the best Chinese restaurant in all of SF Bay Area, hands down.

Loved this place! Our servers were so nice, and literally everything we had was delicious. Dumplings, Honk Kong noodles, and oh my goodness the sesame seed dessert! Will be back!

Their chicken is exceptional.. They use yellow feather chicken.. A much smaller chicken. Very tasty.
