I had such a great experience at Jun’s Bistro! The food is really good and tasty, and I especially love how they offer so many different varieties of mushrooms in their dishes — it makes the menu unique and fun to explore. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

The mushroom cuisines here are incredible, super fresh, and cooked to perfection with just the right seasoning. It really captures the unique flavors of Yunnan cuisine. Highly recommend!

There was no wait at Jun Bistro—we were seated right away, which was a nice start. The menu featured a lot of mushroom-based dishes, which I really enjoyed. I appreciated that they customized the food for my vegetarian friend, a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. The only recommendation I’d make is for the servers to check in a bit more often to see how guests are doing. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would come back.

Jun Bistro totally exceeded expectations! The Spicy Ground Pork Rice Noodle Soup had the perfect heat and depth of flavor, and the Signature Herbal Roasted Steak was incredibly tender and aromatic — worth the wait. We also loved the Fried Quail with pepper salt and the crispy Yunnan street fries. Every dish was bursting with bold, authentic taste. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

This is my first time ever writing a bad review on Google, but I just couldn’t stay silent this time. I paid $45 for one dish, and what I received was absolutely disappointing barely any food inside! As you can see from the photos, there were only a few tiny pieces of each ingredient even the cheapest one, cabbage, had fewer than five small leaves. The portion is ridiculously small for the price, and it looks nothing like the pictures they advertised. I feel completely misled the pricing is unreasonable, and the presentation is deceptive. This experience was extremely disappointing and definitely not worth the money!!!!!!!!

One of the best Asian fusion restaurants in the Bay! Seems like it’s newly opened, but everything (atmosphere, ambience and etc.) are superb. Even their menu is very interesting to read! There’s a little background story of how they wanted to start this business hanging on the wall. Very cool place! Highly recommended!

A very unique Asian restaurant. At least for me. Sorry if I'm not helpful because everything was great! There wasn't one thing that was just ok. Some of the items were a bit pricey but it's ok to try.

1st time here. Food is delicious. Kids loved the food as well. Got two types of yunnan noodles and the laksa fried rice, as well as the tofu, banana leaf wrapped sea bass.

Had no idea this was a mushroom-centric restaurant, which I normally would have avoided, but I'm so glad I pushed past my boundaries, because this place was great! 1. Signature Fried Tofu - delicious appetizer. 2. Banana leaf wrapped seabass - tender, great flavor, but definitely for those who love tongue-twisting tiny fish bones. Priciest dish. 3. Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice - the best dish. 4. Chicken Soup Rice Noodle - simple but great. Using pork loin (instead of shredded chicken - eww) was a great choice. Decent soup flavor, great noodle texture. 5. Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle - the better noodle soup of the night. Great beef texture 6. Sugar cane juice freshly squeeze - meh, or as the young ones say, mid. Don't recommend. 7. Egg yolk ice cream - complimentary dessert. Interesting texture. Probably wouldn't get on my own. But I loved trying it.

This is my second review of Jun Bistro - The food unfortunately didn't hit the same the second time I came here. We got a few of the same things, and some new things. Street potato 4/5- a downgrade from the last time we came, but still good. Less oily, but also less flavorful. Wasn't cooked as crispy. Short rib 3/5 - less flavor and tenderness, the meat was also lukewarm when coming out. The sausage rice was lacking as well. Sea bass 2/5 - lacking much flavor, rubbery texture as if overcooked Fried tofu 4/5 - solid pick, tofu was nice and firm, not too oily. Super crispy and flaky skin. Roasted Eggplant cracker 5/5 - on the sweeter side but would definitely get it again. Rose Latte 3/5 - not bad Tom Yum Chicken 4/5 - solid pick, regular fried chicken with tom yum sauce Mint Beef 5/5 - must get. Refreshing and flavorful Service was solid. Ambiance was bustling. I wish they got the consistency down some more.

We came on Sunday lunch and the place is very busy; waited 30 minutes to be seated which is not too crazy. We ordered the truffle mushroom rice and spicy and sour rice noodle with pork. I really like the seasoning of the noodle, a very special spicy fragrance I have not tried elsewhere. The rice was good, a little bland though and there are too little mushroom/meat compared to rice; it should go well with other saltier dishes though. There are other interesting dishes like fry silkworms that we may come back to try!

Food is really good, if you like mushrooms, highly recommend checking this place out. We got the spicy beef rice noodles, mushroom stirfry, truffle fried rice, and squid. Was so flavorful and service is good!

I love this place! Super exciting to find a good quality restaurant that serves regional specialties from a particular area in China, Yunnan. Yunnan is known for its rice noodles and its mushrooms, and this place does not disappoint! I highly recommend the truffle mushroom rice which is super rich and filled with umami. There are actually quite a few truffle slices in the dish as well. I found myself picking every single rice grain off the bowl because of how good it was! Even better, I did not feel heavy or greasy at all afterward. I have also tried the stewed beef rice noodles, which have great broth -- however, the rice noodles were a bit overcooked. I would strongly recommend to stick with the rice, or maybe try other dishes too. Also strongly recommend the Pu-er Rose Latte -- super aromatic and great for detoxing your system. Pu-er is a non-caffeinated Chinese tea, so it's safe to drink at night.

Show me a place which strives to avoid processed junk and other artificial stuff which shouldn't be in our foods and I am a fan! ***USP: Real food, without art anything!! ***Ambiance: decent sized restaurant with a lot of greenery (might be artificial though) smack dab in the center. ***Service: was ok, but they made our family of four change tables right in the middle of our meal to use that table for a larger group. No larger group or anyone else showed up to occupy that table. ***Food: *Mushroom conserva: 3/5: I had to order their name sake dish and I was slightly disappointed. The dish was essentially stir fried mushrooms plain and simple and some of them were pretty tough. *Fried tofu:4.5/5: I was impressed by this one, it's been a while since I had such delectable fried tofu, surprisingly soft in the center and slightly crispy outside. *Shrimp fried rice:4/5: pretty decent and umami rich, I wish they had alternate options like chicken fried rice on the menu though. *Tom yum fried chicken:4/5: the chicken was ok, the sauce on the side was sweet and sour. Not the best combination but passable. *Chicken noodle soup: 5/5: this was the best dish. I haven't had better broth in recent memory though it looked bland.

Stopped by on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy, very popular place in this plaza. Despite this, service was quick. It's a casual and modern looking interior, super clean and new! We ordered the Dry mixed spicy and sour rice noodle with pork, the fermented tomato fish soup pot, and the truffle and mushroom rice. Everything came out so quick and was super tasty! Beautifully presented too. Would come back again!

Food was actually so yummy! The eggplant rice cracker was a delight to eat and paired nicely together. The rice cracker was surprisingly sweet and the eggplant tasted like an Asian salsa. I would def order the signature tofu again. It was hot and crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The mushroom rice was flavorful but it seemed like it had been sitting out for a while and I wish the temp was warmer like I want to see steam coming out of that pot. Would probably just order the mushroom appetizer next time. The chicken pot flavor was okay but the tenderness of the chicken made up for it. Their plain white rice was so good though idk what kind of magic they put into it. Excited to come back and try the rest of their menu.

Food was really good. Wild mushroom main course and stir fry cheung fun was excellent, super flavorful. Whole sea bass in banana leaf was alright, too many bones to pick out. Fried chicken app was decent, should've been cut up smaller imo and the dip was just ok. Service is typical but food came out fast and hot! Would come back

4.5 stars rounding up. I was initially suspicious of the high reviews since there were a lot so I was wondering if it was inflated. BUT! I really enjoyed everything we ordered. The spicy potato pot chicken was supposed to be spicy (I didn't think it was spicy), so we added more spice to it. No complaints about the taste and flavor though. The fried appetizers were perfectly crispy & flavorful. The rose pu er latte was very fragrant, and the tea flavor was pretty good. In terms of the service, I thought they were attentive. The server offered to bring us an extra bowl because she saw us struggling with putting the potato on the pile of rice. They also do water refills pretty quickly. I'll definitely be back to try their other dishes. Our neighboring table ordered the mushroom rice and it smelled soooo good.

On a hot day I decided to visit this place with my fiance. There was no wait. The inside fits about 7-10 tables and had a lowkey feel. They have lofi hip hop playing in speakers with a minimalist table design. Their utensils are newer. We ordered some fried mushroom and tofu, spicy pot chicken potato, and beef offal saltado. Tofu / mushroom: amazing. Very crispy and yet soft on the inside. Warm and fresh. Spicy chicken potato pot: not spicy enough. We had to get 2 plates of spicy powder to make it spicy. They should have more spicy levels because it was not enough. But it was very flavorful. Beef offal saltado: pretty good. Soft intestines and chewy tripe with veggies. Well seasoned. Overall a solid visit and I would recommend to anyone craving yunnan food!

Google map directions are wrong and while we were on the freeway said we are here just Google directions to the 99 ranch market to get here. Seating was quick, order from the QR code on the menu and food came out quickly. They had kids bowls and utensils for the kids which was nice. Tried the truffle mushroom and it was tasty. Would recommend this.

First off, I had pretty high expectations from this restaurant because the dinner wait was about 30 minutes and there was a huge crowd of people waiting outside the restaurant. It's in the 99 ranch plaza which has a ton of food options so restaurants are quite competitive here! We opted for some of their most popular items like the fire roasted eggplant, braised angus beef rice noodle, stir fried cheung fun, fried tofu, and fried oyster mushroom. We also got a side of you tiao (fried donut) to eat with the beef noodle soup. Our favorites were the beef noodle soup, eggplant, and cheung fun (although a tad oily.) Honestly everything here was very good and we would come again! Price was reasonable as well and service was fast.

First time visiting this restaurant on a Friday and was surprised to see it packed with people -- always a good sign of great food! We ordered the banana leaf steamed fish, fried rice, and the fried mushroom appetizer. The mushrooms were amazing -- crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fried rice was flavorful, but I have to give a big shout-out to the steamed fish: incredibly soft, fresh, and delicious. The sauce was a bit too spicy for me personally, but overall, everything was spot on. The staff were friendly and attentive, which is always a plus. Definitely adding this place to my go-to list. Highly recommended!

This place was surprisingly good! There was a line, so this probably explains it! It's like a fancy restaurant with natural decor inside! I would definitely come back here! If you are a big eater, this might not be a spot for you. But if you like good quality food, this is the spot for you! My winner is the truffle and mushroom rice!

Beef offal saltado is a must try. The taste is very unique and it's very delicious! Fries with spicy beef tripe, aorta, and intestine are great combinations. Lemongrass pot chicken is good too. Chicken mixed with mash potatoes and tomatoes makes a creamy and fresh taste. Jun Bistro is a Yun Nan style Chinese restaurant. If you want to try some unique and fresh Chinese cuisine, this is a great spot to explore.

We tried the lemongrass chicken and potato and the braised angus beef rice noodle. The lemongrass dish was packed with flavor. The noodle soup was perfectly seasoned, not too salty, and the beef melted in my mouth. The ambience of the restaurant is modern and pretty. Service is great, waiters are prompt. Overall great experience. Long wait on weekends fyi but I would take visiting friends here! It's that good.

I love the food here! It might be the best Yunnan cuisine I've had in California. It's quite popular, so we had to wait a bit for seating. The interior features a wooden design that gives off a natural, earthy vibe. The restaurant was clean and well-kept. Stir-Fried Cheung Fun: Infused with a smoky, fire-kissed aroma, this dish was seasoned with soy sauce and stir-fried with pork belly--flavorful and satisfying. Banana Leaf-Wrapped Seabass: The fish was incredibly tender and fresh, with a subtle spiciness and the fragrant essence of the banana leaf. I highly recommend trying their fish dishes! Wild Mushrooms Conserva: Rich mushroom aroma paired with perfectly balanced spicy seasoning--simple but delicious.

I've had Jun Bistro bookmarked for a few months and finally tried it out. Best decision ever! Every single dish we tried was amazing! Flavors are popping and so unique. Not your typical Chinese place. They're a Yunnan-inspired Asian fusion of Malay, Thai, Taiwanese, you name it! The interior has green all around with plants and trees separating the middle section. Very welcoming environment. The place was packed even on a Monday night. Scan the QR code and peruse the menu before ordering. Staff were pretty chill and actually asked us which dish we liked most at the end of the meal. We couldn't decide! I thought it was cool we got the fancy green water glasses while most people got plain clear ones. Eats: Signature Fried Tofu Crispy Oyster Mushroom Tempura Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice Stir Fried Cheung Fun Side of Braised Beef I've had laksa noodle soup before and expected more of a coconut flavor for the rice but the bits of pineapple threw me off a little. It was still delicious though because I love fried rice! Cheung fun was fried in little pieces, fun to eat! This also had thick slices of chopped bacon. Braised beef was savory and tender. Absolutely love fried tofu and mushrooms. For a minute, I couldn't tell which was which based on visuals alone. They offer plenty of drink options such as fresh sugar cane juice, tea lattes, plus coffee lattes with flavors like soy coconut and rose. For the adventurous, they also have "True Warrior's Fry Pupae", yes they have fried silkworms! I'll have to come back and bring the fam for some banana leaf wrapped sea bass, truffle mushroom rice, and all the food I already ordered.

4.5 stars This place is baby friendly. They provide a high chair and baby plates and spoons. They also provide crayons and a coloring picture to keep them occupied when they get antsy We ordered four entrees Truffle mushroom rice 10/10. We all loved this dish so much. Lots of mushrooms and can smell the truffle oil. Toddler loved this too Soymilk beef hot pot - 8/10. Lots of veggies and mushrooms. Savory soup. Cheung fen - 7.5/10 a little too greasy for me but my husband enjoyed it a lot Banana leaf sea bass - 7/10. Served with a curry sauce. The curry sauce is a bit mild.

I always complain how it's hard to find a specialized mushroom restaurant in the Bay Area, and then.... Here we are. Jun bistro takes a unique speciality and stays true to it - from mushroom shaped cups to high quality mushroom dishes. The steamed rice with the assorted mushrooms was so delicious. I usually can't eat much rice in one sitting, but I felt like I wanted a second bowl. They have both affordable and pricier options as well, alongside unique desserts! There was a huge line here by 6 pm, but I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area to try something different

Everything was really delicious! The Yunnan street food home fries --my favorite dish out of all-- had so much depth of flavor for such a simple dish. The broth of the Angus beef noodle soup was seasoned perfectly; rice noodles had the perfect consistency. I even love the Stirfried cheung fun that had here. I think it's the only place that makes them besides my family. And it did not disappoint. The other dishes also shined uniquely on its own as well. The whole atmosphere was really cozy and the interior was absolutely beautiful! Very tranquil in fact.

Heard there is another Yunnan flavor restaurant opening in the area and decided to check it out. Jun Bistro is awesome. I ordered the chicken noodle soup and it taste authentic. The mushroom salad mix is also unique and good. The service is relatively fast too, but it is getting more popularity and I recommend you arrive early (hours picture attached). There about 12 small tables and nicely decorated inside. Plenty of parking as it sits in the shopping mall. Recommend!

Mushroom & Daisy leaf salad: 10/10!!! The salad exceeded my expectations - everyone at the table loved it. It wasn't too sweet or sour, or had too much dressing like a lot of salads do, it had a lot of umami. Tomato chicken w/ potatoes: 6.5/10 I like tomato dishes, would've preferred more chicken and less potatoes though lol.

The restaurant is very unassuming. The front doesn't look like it's an aesthetic restaurant but when you walk in there's this whole garden in the middle. I didn't enjoy the special where you have random animal parts. The soup base was not my taste either. I preferred the beef noodle soup. Personally the best things to order here was the crispy fried mushroom and the truffle fries. Service was great! But overall the food didn't hit for me.

Jun Bistro is a charming gem in Milpitas Square, bringing the bold, vibrant spirit of Yunnan street food to the Bay Area. The menu offers a flavorful journey through regional delights: we indulged in crispy fried chicken paired with a zesty housemade Tom Yum sauce, while standout dishes like braised Angus beef noodles capture the comforting essence of Yunnan cooking. Playful touches--like coconut coffee lattes--add a refreshing, modern twist to the experience. The service was quick and courtesy.

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time ever but the wait times are usually over an hour. I finally got to try it today and there was minimal wait time on a Tuesday afternoon. The mushroom rice was the best dish here. highly recommend trying out their mushroom specialty dishes because that's what they're known for!!

No wait time! Pro-tip: leave a review and they'll give you a complimentary drink or ice cream So far I tried the 云南玫瑰普洱拿铁 Yunnan Rose Pu'erh Latte and coconut coffee latte. Orders came out fast and perfectly sweetened. 酥脆炸蘑菇 Crispy Oyster Mushroom Tempura: came out hot, crunchy, juicy and perfectly seasoned mushroom goodness

Yelp
TLDR: Small portions, but tasty food We had 6 people, which automatically incurs a large party charge (20%). So be careful. We ordered a lot of dishes, but for the most part they were small-sized portions. We had 1 small quail for $9. It was ok. The meat wasn't too dry and the pepper salt adds some nice subtle flavor. We also ordered the fried chicken, which was easily our favorite. We ordered 2 orders of it, because it was finished off VERY quickly. My wife always loves soup, so she ordered the fish tomato soup. That was probably the only thing that was large-ish. It was the only thing we took with us, as she really liked the soup. We also ordered cheung fun as well as fried rice. Those were good as well. Finally, the dishes I didn't try at all were the fried tofu, mushroom tempura and the eggplant. I think everyone enjoyed those as well. If the dishes were bigger, I would definitely give it 4 stars. But not only are the dishes small, the prices are large. So I don't think it's worth it, to be honest. The restaurant is small, so there's always a line. We went kinda early, and still had to wait 30 minutes.

I had a pretty great experience here! No complaints really. Quick service and perfectly flavored food. Everything I tried was a hit! Coconut Coffee was strong and creamy. Caffeinated well. The Spicy Lemon Fish was tender and had the perfect amount of sauce. Not too spicy! The Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice is also definitely worth the hype! I highly recommend. Sooooo good.

03/12/2025 came here for lunch with a friend The inside was nice; got a few fake plants in the middle. I would say it is pretty elegant. we ordered through the QR code, and the order came extremely fast. stir-fry assorted wild mushroom ($24) had a strong flavor component with a wide variety of mushrooms and red bell peppers. It was slightly spicy, which I enjoyed. Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice ($18) tasted like it was wok-fried. The flavor was not too strong and it was a great combo with the wild mushrooms we ordered. Though I am not too sure I tasted pineapples. The table next to use ordered a lot more and safe to say that the dishes all look like the photos provided in the app. It was a unique experience to try different dishes. There is also fried silkworm for those who want to try.

Authentic Yunnan flavors that hit every note -- earthy, spicy, and deeply comforting. The wild mushroom stir-fry was a standout. Yunnan is known for its mushrooms, and this dish did them justice -- chewy, umami-packed, and perfectly seasoned. You could tell everything was fresh and cooked with care. Service was great! Will be back

Dinner date at Jun Bistro a Southeast Asian fusion restaurant with Yunnan influence. We came on a friday night around 6 pm which was extremely busy, wait time for a party of 2 was about 40-45 mins. Their menu is interesting with many different options like hotpot, soups, whole fish dishes, braised chicken, stew pots, and many more. Here is what we ordered: For drinks: -Coconut coffee latte served in a super cute mushroom glass. -Pain killer" cocktail For food: -Banana leaf wrapped Seabass -Laksa shrimp fried rice -Tom yum fried chicken For dessert: -Youtiao Bread Pudding With Toasted Coconut -Truffle ice cream Food here is really delicious, everything is tasty and cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend the whole fish was soft and flavorful and the Tom Yum fried chicken was to die for.... That Tom Yum dipping sauce elevated that fried chicken dish. I also want to come back to try the other whole fish dish and the hot pots. I noticed a lot of tables with the burners and hotpot dishes. It must be good

Our party of three got the last table at a little after 6pm on a Saturday. We ordered a chicken stew with potatoes (not sure of exact name), pate with youtiao, and truffled mushroom sausage rice. Everything was good, except we felt the Chinese sausage overpowered the truffle flavor. Service was responsive in that when we mistakingly received the spicy version of the chicken stew, they acknowledged the mistake and asked us to keep both versions. They also brought out a fun school bus-shaped plate and utensils for our toddler. Many tables around us ordered fish dishes and mushrooms in various forms. I look forward to returning to try more dishes.

Service: nice Ambiance: casual Food: This is definitely in my top 3 places to get fish! If you love spicy, flavorful, tender fish, you need to try this lemon thai chili seabass! They also have a seabass wrapped in banana leaf that is less spicy and in a coconut curry sauce! Jun Bistro also specializes on Yunnan cuisine which means many of their dishes feature mushrooms! I recommend getting their Coconut Coffee in a mushroom cup as well as their Steam Chicken Consomme with Matsutake Soup -- it's light, aromatic, and earthy. It's a good soup to start off your day if you like chinese herbal soups! They also have a ton of other dishes I was eyeing like their Truffle and Mushroom Rice, Crispy Oyster Mushroom Tempura, and Chicken Liver Pate with Chinese Donut If you love trying multiple dishes, come with a group and do family style here!

Jun Bristo, 位于Milpitas Square,经过这么多次都没发现这家云南菜,直到他把芭蕉叶烤鱼的图片放到门口,把我吸引进去了。 我们点了芭蕉叶烤sea bass和油泡菌子,鱼肚子里填满了新鲜的香料,吃的时候淋上清淡可口的咖喱汁、香菜、辣椒,与鱼汁混在一起,再伴饭,一流!美国本土海军小姐姐总是说她不吃蘑菇,这些菌子她也懂得和饭伴着吃。(吃完直接带她去隔壁大华买一瓶饭扫光,教她可以放在意面,米饭,面包上) 餐厅菜单的设计足以看到主理人的用心和对"吃"的理解与弘扬,云南等地特色菜基本囊括在内,而且融合了新元素,呈现新的形式,关键餐具也很有云南仪式感,汽锅鸡也有,小小的精致可爱。 海军小姐姐本来说不吃雪糕了,结果尝了一口送的咸蛋黄雪糕惊艳不觉,只能叫老板再送一个,这个咸蛋黄雪糕我们一直好评完胜gelato。 今天带小姐姐游了一趟云南,食物治疗了她由于等位太久的不开心。

Jun Bistro has popped up a few times in my social media feeds and as a recommendation on Yelp as well. I can wee why...the food was very good. Interesting decor, lots of Green, I'm not sure if it was due to the Holiday season or if that is just their theme. We waltzed in for an early dinner and were seated right away. I wasn't a fan of the seating arrangement, a bit too close to you neighbors for my liking. Decor is cool. There was no physical menu, use the QR code on a table to place your order. #ChineseFusion: ~ 芭蕉叶包烧鱼 Banana leaf wrapped seabass - 5/5 The whole Seabass is steamed, head, tail and all topped with some sort of Yellow sauce presented on a Banana leaf. Brilliant! Soft and tender; very good flavor with diced Chilies and Cilantro on the side. There are plenty of bones abound so be careful. ~ 酸腌菜火腿炒肠粉Stir Fry Cheung Fun - 5/5 I'm almost positive this is nothing like a traditional Cheung Fun...I could be wrong, don't quote me. Either way this was delish! Loved the chewy texture and the Garlic flavor, just right, not overpowering. This was also a fair bit bigger than I was expecting. ~ 叻沙菠萝菌菇虾炒饭Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice - 4/5 Fried rice was simple. Perfectly done; not oily or greasy, just right. A good Fried Rice dish with Mushroom, Pineapple and Shrimp topped with an Egg. Good size portion! No issues returning to try the rest of the menu out. The food portions were bigger than I was expecting. The place was completely packed when we left...with good reason.

Came on a Saturday evening for dinner so it was pretty crowded and we had to wait a while for a table. Their fried chicken was my favorite though and the fried rice was really good! Also got a free tea for sharing on social media!

We ordered the Laksa Fried Rice w/ a side of braised beef , lemongrass chicken, and tomato fish hot pot. We ordered everything mild- was only slightly spicy (suited for my weak spice tolerance!), but for those who like their spice, there are lots of spicy options! The flavors were really great- food was served quite quickly despite the restaurant being super busy! The waiters/waitresses were all super nice and accommodated for us, we had a baby at the table and they gave us a plastic place setting for the baby. Just be sure to come early during lunchtimes on the weekends and expect a long wait (at least 20 minutes)

This review is directed at the poor service and false advertising of this restaurant. First of all, the service is terrible. Dining here tonight (Friday evening), it was extremely difficult to get the attention of any server throughout the entire meal, let alone having plates cleared or water refilled. Secondly, what is most unbelievable is that the restaurant prominently advertises a 10% discount on its website for people working in Milpitas, Mountain View, Santa Clara, and Fremont. At checkout, the server initially denied the existence of such a discount. After we showed her the website, she then claimed that this discount only applies on certain specific holidays. As a customer, I feel deceived. The website prominently advertises the discount to attract customers, but there is no indication anywhere about limited availability or specific dates. Regardless of the taste of the dishes at this restaurant, its integrity as a business is undoubtedly questionable.

This review would have been 5 stars BUT there is a serious case of FALSE ADVERTISING happening on their website. The first thing on the website is a banner that says 10% off for employees working in Milpitas, Santa Clara, San Jose, Mountain View, and Fremont if they present a valid work ID. I thought, sweet, my dad who works in Milpitas can bring his ID and we can save some money. However, when he presented the ID the server made an incredulous face and said we have nothing like this. When I pulled up the website, she said oh that's expired it's just for the holidays, yet there is no expiration date AND Martin Luther King Jr day is this weekend (we went Friday night)! So, either the website is outdated, the server is uneducated, or the owner is lying to get more customers through the door. Either way, not a great look for the restaurant AND I pointed it out, so might as well honor it right? Also, it was almost impossible to find a server at the end to get the tab. ANYWAYS the food was still really good and which is why this review isn't one star and why it would have been 5 stars if not for the sour experience at the end. Props to the chef! Truffle and mushroom rice (5/5): Super rich and savory, would 100% recommend! The blend of savory mushrooms complement the salty Chinese sausage to create a delightful culinary experience. True Warriors Fry Pupae (5/5): My first time trying pupae (the third stage of metamorphosis, when a larva transitions to a full adult butterfly, moth, etc.). I was pleasantly surprised at the taste (slightly nutty and lightly crunchy). I would definitely try this again! Banana Leaf Wrapped Seabass (5/5): Tender fish, yummy sauce, what more can you ask for? I really enjoyed the bass and would definitely eat it again. IF I decide to return next time I also want to try the Spicy Lemon Fish which also sounded delicious. So will I return next time? I really really want to for the food, but the poor service and false advertising really ate into my experience. Ah, the dilemma!
