Reviews for Steam in Palo Alto, CA
Ok food but you can definitely do better elsewhere. Also there is a 18% surcharge on items that already seem highly priced... despite the deceiving statement that the surcharge is already included. Pay attention before u order to the menu and to yourbill!!! ???????? This place is like a tourist trap! Read more
We had a pretty good dim sum lunch here. Food was delicious. A bit pricey but within reason for being in downtown Palo Alto. ... There is a nice outside seating area but a word of caution: The street traffic can get loud! A least one unruly motorcycle anda lot of car honking as well. The weather is nice but your ears may experience auditory assault! Still, it was a pleasantafternoon lunch. If you're in the area and looking for dim sum, check this place out! Read more
Awesome place for assorted Chinese food! Many smaller plates you can get to share, and plenty of nice entrees too. The menus... have photos of dishes, which is quite helpful. The interior is also nicely decorated and has a pretty relaxed atmosphere. Goodoption for Chinese food in Palo Alto! Read more
We love this place as an alternative to the hugely popular Din Tai at Westfield, where you have to make reservations (?years?)... in advance ???? You get good service and food is fresh! I love their won ton soup Read more
Really nice place, everything is made fresh to order . Staff is very friendly. The chicken buns are so delicate.
My favorite Dimsum place so far. Staff service could have been a bit better/faster. But the manager of the place was very... pleasant and always on the lookout. Each of the dishes here cost between $7.50 and $12. Everything was super tasty, but thehighlights for me were definitely the shangai pork dumplings and the custard buns. Read more
2021: With outdoor seating during the pandemic, they are doing an excellent job serving all the hot dishes within 1, max 2... minutes in between, if not together. It may not noticeable when done right, but this really makes a huge difference especiallywhen it comes to sharing dishes family style. I gave 5 stars 4 years ago, definitely would give them 5 stars again now. 2017:Fast and authentic Chinese food. The dim sum there is especially good. Read more
A classic hole in the wall eatery. We ordered the Szechuan prawn and chicken. Good lunch spot . They are pretty quick in their... service. The dim sum wasn?t that great. The rest of the orders were tasty but a little greasy Read more
