Reviews for Tai Pan in Palo Alto, CA
Items ordered: Mongolian beef Shrimp and pork siu mai Pecking duck with lotus bun Chowmein beef The Mongolian beef was good but... oily. The chowmein and the siu mai were very average. The pecking duck with lotus bun tasted really good but had a slightly highprice point for the quantity served. Service The servers were prompt but slightly impolite. They weren’t able to answer ourqueries about the dishes. Overall, I think the place was very costly compared to what the place had to offer. So feel free toskip! Note: You will be charged for the tea served at the start of the order. So politely refuse for the tea if you don’twant it. Read more
Amazing chinese restaurant in Palo Alto downtown! Highly recommend their soup!
This is kind of a fine dining Chinese restaurant. It’s nice to come for a family/friends gathering. The price is a bit high... but with good service and good food! I love their shrimp & pork siu mai definitely a must ordered dish. ???? Read more
Worst experience ever. Extremely overpriced for mediocre food, and dishonest service!! Just four dishes came out $200ish for 4... people! Arrived and ordered at 7pm, and food didn’t come out until 1.5 hours later. There were not that many customers thatnight and ALL the other tables around us were waiting as well and nobody got their food! The waiter was extremely slow anddidn’t serve at all. Didn’t even come by to say anything about when would the food come out!! He deserves no tips. WARNING:the waiter even changed and doubled the amount of tips I left on the receipt when I checked my credit card bill the next day.DISGUSTING!! Will NEVER EVER come back. Read more
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 partis 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 tothe price. Read more
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 pineappleshell. However, considering the portion size we didn’t expect to pay more than $120 for 3-4 entrees. Read more
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 greatseafood. Pair with their jasmin tea, it was all smiles. The prices are up there but you get what you paid for and totallt worthit for a first time. Parking is tight, they have outdoor/indoor dining, follow covid protocols with clean environment. Read more
The glutinous rice chicken and the radish cake were so good that they were gone before I had a chance to take pictures!
