Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Came over here because we missed the 2 pm close time for the other restaurant. This is the third dim sum (second dim sum in Bay Area) we had during this trip. May Flower is one of the best dim sum places in Bay Area....The ginger pig feet is even better than what we had in New York. The porridge is also quite good. We really enjoyed the unexpected dim sum.More

Went with colleagues for a business lunch . The spread was pretty impressive. The fish was really good and the concept of serving the food in food cart was cute. It was pretty crowded which is an indication of good repute. The taste was standard.... Service was okayish.More

Every bit as good as Koi Palace but without very long lines. Surprisingly wide variety of outstanding shrimp dishes, and many other items. Very creative chefs. Good parking availability. People traffic handled with ease.

Went with a group for dim sum. Traditional, they bring the carts around to the tables so you can see what you want in case you don’t know the name. I thought the skin on some of the dumplings was a little thick but the...filling was flavorful. The chicken feet were very tender. Large variety of items so we could accommodate people with seafood allergies and others who don’t eat pork. Vegetarian options limited. It’s usually full at lunch so get there before noon especially if you have a large group.More

The food here was very good. However, the amount of food for each dish was uneven. For vegetable only dishes, the portion was quite generous. For beef dishes, the portion was comparatively smaller. Price is a little on the high side. We have been warned...to watch out for the waiter that offers off the menu item as these tend to be pricey. We declined and stuck with the known menu items.More

We had a big dinner at Mayflower on Chinese New Year Day. The food was very disappointing. The snake soup had little flavor and had way too much pepper. The Peking duck was average at best. The skin was not crispy. The lobsters were over...cooked and greasy. The 糯米飯 gluten rice was dry and cold. The service was decent considering it was a very busy night. For the price they I probably will not go back.More

Mayflower is one of the best dim sum places in the south bay. Good food. Good variety of specialty items. Reasonable prices. Quick moving lines at busy times.

Ready made meals make the rounds on carts and you order as they pass. Instant meal as it is right there right then. No menus. Very Chinese and I think I was the only westerner in the place. Food a bit too weird for me...but some of it was okMore

We stayed at Crowne Plaza Hotel, and the restaurant is a walking distance. There are many Asian restaurants in the area and we choose this one since I enjoyed lunch there in the past. The dinner is a bit different since at lunch I tried...the dumplings, and this diner we ordered a few dishes from the menu which the waiter also was happy to change the dish a bit according to our preference. We ordered 3 dishes, a beef with green dish, a chicken with Chinese broccoli (the original was with a different green), and carry noodles with shrimp and pork. All the dishes was large and very good, we could not finish all 3 dishes, and we paid around $55 in total, including pu-er tea pot.More

Lots of variety of dim sum offered by this restaurant. The wait can sometimes be super long. They also do a good job in their noodle and fried rice dishes. Do not expect too much on the ambiance.

We've been here twice now, once for a birthday and most recently a wedding. I can only review the food as the service was provided based on a banquet event. The food is amazing. Dinner was served family style with ever ending dishes arriving every...few minutes. We had no complaints on the quality of the food. The only question was the order that things came out, but it could have been at the request of the wedding party? Parking is limited so allow some time circle around the lot or be ready to walk.More

Came here to eat Dim Sum for many many years, do come earlier and it can be a long queue for a table. However the turn around if fast so you won't need to wait too long unless you have a big party . Quality...of food never fail me so far and as close to HK stantard. If you crave to eat chinese dim sum and near to Milpitas, do come here!More
