Koi Palace Contempo - Cupertino

Had a great dim sum brunch with my family at Koi Palace Contempo! We came as a family and ordered Scallop Shiu Mai, Shanghai XLB, Crispy Daikon Cake, Poached Gailan with Oyster Sauce, and Wonton Noodles. Everything was super tasty, and we all left feeling full and happy.There was a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it. So nice to have such a good dim sum place in the South Bay! The vibe was cozy and perfect for a family meal. Parking was easy, which made things even better. After eating, we walked around the area for a bit.We'll definitely be back again!

We got the Steamed Pork Ribs with Taro, Crispy Dumpling with Minced Pork Filling, Braised Yi Noodles, and Vegetarian Delight. Everything was super tasty! The Braised Yi Noodles and crispy dumplings were definitely our favorites. The portions were huge, so we even had leftovers to take home.The place has a cozy and romantic vibe, which made the meal even better. The staff was really nice and checked on us just enough without being too much. I also liked their new menu--lots of tasty new options at good prices. We spent about $80 for two people, which felt totally worth it. Definitely coming back!

Modern and clean, however, that's all it has going for it.I had high expectations for this restaurant, but unfortunately, the experience did not match the atmosphere. Despite the decor, the service was super slow. We waited a long time for our food, and even getting a simple request was a stretch.They also double charged us for an item, which ended up being corrected.For the prices, it was expected a level of service that reflected the cost, but it fell far short. Definitely not worth the time!!

Yelp reviews of Koi Palace put it on our radar for a special occasion. The opportunity presented itself when our oldest daughter wanted Dim Sum for her Birthday Brunch. Parking was challenging but after circling the shopping center several times a parking spot opened up near the restaurant. The restaurant was very busy but we were seated upon entry. More upscale in decor than our regular Dim Sum favorites this carried through in the presentation of the dishes we ordered. We were pleased that the food was as delicious as it looked. While the final bill was a bit pricey it felt worth it for the special occasion that we were celebrating.

Food: 9/10 除了避風塘蝦餃太小， 其他的都還行。最推薦 半隻的原木烤片皮鴨， 全家一回來就趕快來鯉魚門餐廳吃這道菜，皮超薄超脆， 只是本來有白糖可沾著吃， 今天沒給白糖， 盒內確多了紫薯絲， 不知道是不是把吃法改變了。包片皮鴨的皮ㄧ籠只有7張皮， 可以再多一點。Except for the Typhoon Shelter Shrimp Dumpling which was too small, everything else was ok. The most recommended dish is the half-roasted duck with crispy skin。 As soon as the whole family came back, we rushed to here to eat this dish recall our sweet memories. The skin was super thin and crispy. They used to have white sugar for dipping for duck skin but there was no white sugar today, however, Purple sweet potato shreds was come with the sauce box, I wonder if the way of eating it has changed. There are only 7 bread skin for wrapping Service: 10/10 訂位後再來都不用等。服務很快很照顧客人的需要。No need to wait after making a reservation. The service was fast and attentive to the guests' needs.Ambiance: 5/10 當桌子擺很近時， 別桌如果講話大聲， 吃飯的氣氛會被干擾到。我們就很不幸一直聽到很大聲的對話。希望能再把客桌的間距安排更分開些。When the tables are placed close to each other, if people at other tables talk loudly, the dining atmosphere will be disturbed. Today, We were unfortunate to hear loud conversations all the time. I hope the guest tables can be arranged better next time.

Elegant and clean interior, definitely a step up from most dim sum spots. Service was just okay, nothing special. Prices were noticeably higher than the Milpitas location. Checked in for a free dessert, but turns out you can only get the oolong red jujube jelly ($6), which looked nothing like the menu photo. Wanted egg tarts, so that was a letdown. Also, there is a 4% wellness charge added to the bill, it is mentioned on the menu but not very noticeable. Overall, I would still rather go to Koi Palace in Milpitas!

Had Sunday family dinner here. Our reservation was at 5:45pm and there was plenty of seating when we arrived. Please note that they have two separate dining areas that are accessed separately from outside, so if you're meeting someone, make sure you know which one you're meeting at! The location we sat at had a bar in the middle and was generally quiet which was nice for a relaxing dinner. The menu was extensive and our server came around to tell us about a cod special they were doing where they cooked the fish two different ways and also made a soup from the bones. We ordered that, xiao long bao, egg yolk fried pumpkin, chicken feet, stuffed yuba, duck friend rice with truffle, and pea sprouts.Of the dim sum selection, the xiao long bao and stuffed yuba were the top picks. The xiao long bao came with these vinegar pearls that melted once you put it on the dumpling. They were juicy and flavorful. The stuffed yuba was delicious, with a variety of textures. Not completely sure what was inside but I'd order it again if I came back. The fried pumpkin was a pass for me. I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste but it seemed under seasoned/bland. I wish it came as a half order as I was just looking to try it.Duck fried rice was pretty good but there wasn't much truffle flavor. You can smell the truffle a little but not really taste it. The pea sprouts were tender and delicious. The two styles of the cod dish were sauteed and steamed. Both with a variety of vegetables and sauces. Both were very good, especially paired with the fish bone soup (very collagen-y and almost creamy). They also gave us a sweet dessert soup with tapioca pearls after our meal. The only thing was that we sat in the corner and no one came to check on us when we were ready for the check, so I had to go to the bar to ask the closest worker. But overall, the food was tasty and there is so much variety that there are so many more things to try. The prices are also a bit high, but I would recommend this place for some good Chinese cuisine.

It's LIKE Koi Palace but with a twist!O R D E R E D * Boneless Hainan Chicken Rice* Cold Chicken Feet* Sour Cabbage with Fish* Ikura dumplings* Scallop sui mai* Lobster shrimp dumplings* Pineapple buns with butter* Hainan chicken rice* Sitcky RiceV E R D I C TKoi Palace Contempo is a delightful twist on the classic Koi Palace experience. While it shares the same high-quality standards, it's not your traditional dim sum spot. In fact, their menu is about 99% different and focuses more on entrees than dim sum!I've only visited for lunch, so I can't speak to their dinner offerings, but here's what I can tell you: If you're planning to come, try to arrive before 12 PM to beat the lunch rush, as it can get busy.Their menu features unique items you won't typically find at other places. Some of my favorites include:* Ikura dumplings* Scallop sui mai* Lobster shrimp dumplings* Pineapple buns with butterThey do have a small selection of dim sum items, but the real highlight here is their extensive menu, offering something for everyone.Bonus points for convenience! There's a large public parking lot right across from the restaurant, so parking is a breeze.If you're looking for a modern Chinese dining experience with creative and unique dishes, Koi Palace Contempo is definitely worth a visit.

Great customer service!This meal really hit the spot. I wasnt feeling my best and the fish maw snail chicken soup was just what I needed - and indeed it was absolutely comforting and delicious.Since my girlfriend is allergic to shrimp, we went with the beef and pork soup dumplings, unagi rice crepe and bbq pork rice crepe. Everything was fantastic! Such a great experience and we'll definitely be recommending this place to our friends.

Fast and efficient service, delicious foo, and a lively ambiance. We may have ordered too much for two but we were glad to try the soup dumplings, sesame sponge cake and rice crepe with the house special sauce. Eeverything was just as good as expected. Highly recommend!
