New Port Restaurant

New Port Restaurant carries the legacy of traditional dim sum, offering flavors that evoke nostalgia for those who grew up with authentic Cantonese cuisine. The ambiance whisks you back to an early 2000s yum cha and while the menu has become more limited over time, the quality remains exceptional, staying true to its old-school roots.The standout dish was undoubtedly the crispy skin roasted salted water duck -- a rarity in the U.S. and executed to perfection. The skin was flawlessly crisp, while the meat remained tender and juicy, with deep, rich flavors permeating to the bone. It is incredibly difficult to find duck prepared at this level, making it an absolute must-order.New Port continues to uphold its reputation as a traditional dim sum staple. For those seeking authentic flavors and expertly prepared Cantonese dishes, this is a destination worth revisiting.

All the classics at a reasonable priceThey have all the typical dim sum fare - shrimp dumplings, sweet pork buns, shrimp rolls, and zongzi. Service is fast and we ordered a la carte and they brought out the food. They also had some servers walking around with dishes. My main qualm is that their veggie selection is fairly limited. Otherwise tasty dim sum at a reasonable price

New Port is definitely one of the better places to get dimsum in SJ. Would recommend getting these dishes:- Siu mai (4/5)- Beef ball with tofu skin (4.5/5) - XO sauce radish cake (5/5) - Har gow (3.5/5)- Beef rice roll (3.5/5)- Baked bbq pork bun (4/5) The one dish that we disliked was the salt and pepper fried fish, which was more like breaded fish sticks and tasted/smelled like it had gone bad.

I always come to Newport with my family for big events or just a nice family dinner. They recently renovated, so it's super pretty in there with comfortable seating. Service and food are always nice and yummy. Definitely a safe choice for chinese food. We love their salted fish and chicken fried rice AND the peking duck :)

Best dim sum in the South Bay! I grew up eating dim sum since my mom worked at a restaurant in Seattle that served dim sum so she would bring it home daily for me. I've tried a lot of places in the South Bay, and this one is the best. This place does get busy on the weekends, so I recommend arriving when they first open, or else you'll be waiting for a while. They have parking on each side of the building, but the parking lot does not connect. So park on whichever side you see parking available first because turning onto traffic to the next parking lot will be hard. My usual order is siu mai (shrimp and pork dumpling), har gow (shrimp dumpling), steamed beef balls, steamed pork ribs and pumpkin w/black bean sauce, crabmeat dumpling, steamed pork and bean curd skin roll. Everything here is delicious. The siu mai is soft and not gristly or chewy like some places. The har gow is large and plump, and the shrimp is not fishy. The pork ribs have a great savory flavor, and the pumpkin and jalapenos work well with it. I highly recommend getting the crabmeat dumpling since this is not a regular dim sum dish you would find at most places. It tastes like har gow, but with crabmeat. At the table, they have soy sauce and chili oil for you to mix to dip your dim sum. Pro tip: What I learned at the restaurant where my mom worked was to add red vinegar to that mixture. So, I always ask for red vinegar; all dim sum places have it. You have to ask for it.

Finally got to try this place out (been sitting in my collection for a while). We were pleasantly surprised by its food and value. First off, parking lot is to the north of the restaurant. Don't accidentally park in the lot next to it that belongs to the orthodontics.Secondly, come early or make a reservation. We arrived before 12 and were able to secure the last table. Soon there was a line and people struggled to find parking.Now about food. Most of the items here are above average. A few items are highly recommended: Siu Mai (generous portion, tender, and tasty), Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll (loved the sweet soy sauce), and Bean Curd Skin Roll (good portion and tasty). The sticky rice chicken was also good with salty egg yolk and Cantonese sausage. The chicken feet was neither too sweet nor too salty.The only complaint we had was that the radish cake came cold. We raised it to the manager and were able to get a freshly baked replacement. Overall the service was responsive and attentive.The bill came out lower than we anticipated before coming in. I'd say it's below Bay Area average, certainly better than the SF non-sense (all kinds of fees).Some items we ordered were either not available or not served (pork ribs), but this is typical for a Cantonese restaurant this busy. That's why I give it a four star not a five.

This local gem has been around for many years! Gather round for a yum cha session at New Port Restaurant. Stepping into this bustling eatery on a sunny morning, you're instantly met with the savory aroma of freshly steamed dim sum and the cheerful chatter of families. We dove into a delightful array of treats- succulent Sui Mai perfectly balanced with pork and shrimp, tender Har Gow with its plump, juicy filling, and savory silken Rice Noodle Roll. If you're up for a sweet item, their Baked Pork Buns or Egg Yolk Lava Buns are perfectly crispy and semi sweet.These are the dim sum delights I enjoyed and recommend: Shrimp and Pork Dumplings (Siew Mai): These bite-sized gems are a delightful mix of juicy pork and succulent shrimp, topped with an orange roe that pops with every bite, always a staple!Baked BBQ Pork Bun: The sweet and savory filling of barbecued pork encased in a flaky, buttery pastry is an irresistible treat that offers a delightful crunch with each bite.Egg Yolk Lava Bun: A decadent surprise awaits inside these soft, pillowy buns-- a rich, creamy egg yolk lava that oozes out with the first bite, blending perfectly with the crisp bun. Deep Fried Shrimp Balls: Crisp on the outside and tender inside, these balls are a crunchy delight in a light, savory batter. Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll: Soft, silky rice noodle rolls filled with fresh shrimp, drenched in a sweet soy sauce--a slippery, savory pleasure that glides right off the spoon.Each dish at New Port Restaurant showcases the authentic flavors and meticulous preparation that make dim sum such a beloved dining experience. Don't miss out having dim sum here!

It's been awhile since we last came here, but I brought my mom here. She remembers coming here a lot with her friends.They remodeled and painted the interior with powder blue and blue chandeliers. Last time it was yellowish/gold.Good for dim sum, Cantonese food, etc.The service was good and attentive!

Ambiance was great! Take out and ate at home :). They did add two huge lights and repainted the walls about a month ago in their dining room. It looks great individually but doesn't quite work. Maybe it's the paper table cloth. Tonight's to go dinner was very good. The crispy flounder fish was crisp when we got it home and there was enough sauce. The honey walnut prawns sauce wasn't as smooth & thin as it should be but the flavor was fine. I only ate one salt & pepper pork chop. My family demolished it and they loved it. Peking duck was perfect today, a little fatty, a little thin, buns were warmed, meat on some of the bones. The housin sauce & greens were good. I was very happy with this meal. We also went for dim sum. We arrived about noon on a Thursday. It was not super full. We marked our choices and they took about 15 minutes to come out. It was much fresher on this trip. I would come again.

Stopped by for dim sum with my parents on a weekday. I was surprised - it was really busy. Got to eat some traditional dim sum dishes- fried taro, sui mai with shrimp, har gow, crepe with shrimp, fried shrimp ball, turnip cake , pan fried chive dumplings, pork wrapped with tofu skin . It all tasted real good- some dishes could've been hotter. Service was good.
