Fu Lam Mum

Ambiance - 5/5 fantastic upscale modern setting. And it took my colleagues and I by surprise when we entered the restaurant as you really can't tell from the outside. (Exterior looks old and was deceiving ). Glad we decided to give this place a try instead of going to our usual dimsum place which will be 15mins drive out. Food - 4/5 dimsum is great. We ordered multiple dishes. The ones that stood out to us and love by the team included BBQ pork bun, cilantro roll, seafood egg noodle, crispy sesame ball and egg tarts. I also like how they kept the oyster sauce separated from the steamed Chinese broccoli dish which makes it easy for folks to adjust the sauce to their liking. Most places dribbles the sauce over the steamed vegetable which spread unevenly and you get some stems that are either overly concentrated in the oyster sauce while other stems lack the sauce. I didn't try the pork dumplings but my colleagues felt the skin a little too thick and pork taste a bit bland. Xiu Mai was just average. See pics for more. Service - 5/5 great friendly servers and expedient food serving.

No wait for party of 2 on a Saturday around 1pm, though it was quite busy. I was happy to see they have the rolling carts since that's harder to come by nowadays. We got the shrimp steamed rice rolls, steamed pork spareribs, turnip cakes, bbq pork puff pastry, and har gow. I liked the steamed pork spareribs which were tender and turnip cakes the most. Har gow skin was a bit too thick and tough for my liking. Bbq pork puff pastry had an off ratio of too much dough and too little meat, but still enjoyed since this is one of my favorite dishes. Shrimp steamed rice rolls were a bit bland even with the sauce, but I liked that they had big pieces of shrimp that were cooked well and not soggy. Service is pretty efficient and straightforward. A plus that they have indoor and outdoor dining, but I don't think the carts go outside. Overall fulfills the dim sum craving and not a bad option in the downtown area!

My family and I love to come here for Cantonese food because it's good and consistently good. The people are nice and even remember my family (even my dog when we walk him outside of the restaurant!) I have a few staples I like to get here but I want to give a special shoutout this time to the Roast Duck Soup Wide Noodle, you can also get the drumstick one. It is by far the crispiest and freshest duck you can get in the South Bay (DO NOT mix the duck into the soup; DO eat it ASAP while it's crispy). The soup is so delicious and the wide noodle is cooked al dente. It also comes with perfectly cooked bok choy. It is definitely a well-balanced option. I also have some other favorites I can't really get easily, but I'll get to it another day.There aren't that many Cantonese places I'd recommend, but this is definitely a solid choice if you also want variety. Somehow they're able to handle Cantonese classic entrees, a myriad of dim sum, serve some amazing Cantonese BBQ, and HK diner fare (RIP HK Bistro) ALL in one establishment. The only time I wouldn't come is on the weekend during the day because if I recall correctly, it gets pretty busy and I don't like to wait for tables :))

Came here for dimsum at night. Food is a bit salty but otherwise it was good and reasonably priced. Service was also quick and friendly. Location is also great in downtown Mountain View. Really liked their sponge cake - this was probably our favorite dish.

A solid dim sum spot located on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. While it's slightly pricey, that's expected for the area.The food quality was pretty good overall, with a variety of classic dim sum dishes to choose from. However, we noticed that the fried options were a bit cold, borderline stale, which made us wonder if they might have been leftovers from the previous day.Despite that, Fu Lam Mum is a reliable choice if you're looking for dim sum in the area. It's convenient and consistent, making it a good option for a casual meal.

Fu Lam Mum is a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine and dim sum.Mostly street parking and some parking garage/lot available. The restaurant is good-sized and can accommodate a large group of people/parties. They offer both indoor & outdoor seating.

Bummer. I was so excited to try my first dim sum place in MV but it was a let down. Service was great. Ambiance was nice for a dim sum restaurant. But the food was just alright. Large portions but not that good. I will have to keep searching for a better dim sum place.

Pretty good dim sum place conveniently located in downtown Mountain View near Central Expressway. There's outdoor seating so we could have our dog accompany us.Food availability was quick and plentiful, we did have to compete for limited dishes even though the place was pretty busy. Food quality was maybe 7.5/10. Size of dim sum items were good, some weren't as hot as ideal, but overall it seemed well done. Servers were friendly and nice. Sui Mai were quite big.We'd come here again!

Surprisingly, there were plenty of empty tables when we went at ~11am. I thought people usually come early for dimsums? The restaurant became full by the time we left at 12 though. The carts stopped by our table immediately after we sat down, so we were able to pick up ~8 or so dishes right away. There were a couple dishes that I saw on other people's tables, but I didn't see them in the carts that kept passing by. By the time new carts came out, we were already pretty full. Overall, the dimsums satisfied our cravings and the quality was not bad. Everything came in a set of 4 so it's even-number-party friendly. There's a lot of dimsum nowadays that comes in odd numbers.

3.5 starsI think Fu Lam Mum is just ok. The huge issue for me was the skins on the dim sum were a little tough, and I like them softer and more pliable. For example, the har gow, shrimp chive dumpling, and zha liang skins were tough. The taro dumpling was also a tiny bit sour. My favorite thing I got was the preserved pork and century egg porridge which was very homey tasting. If I come back, I'd try things that didn't have skins like the tofu rolls and maybe their gai lan.Service was okay though waiters were a little difficult to flag down.I came on Sunday lunch at noon with party of two, and waited about 15 minutes for a table. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but the carts didn't really go outside, probably because there were stairs. For outside seating, it looked like they had one cart on standby.
