I have been to Fook Yuen a few times and it has never disappointed. Great Aauthentic Cantonees cooking, nice but not over done deco, no rude waiters (who started this whole rude chinese waiter thingie...

Just getting over one of those Chinese Banquet hangovers (from a belated Chinese dinner)--not the real kind, from when the host leaves a bottle of good cognac on the table, unfortunately --- but the...

I've never had anything here that was less than fantastic. Always great food and service. No rude Chinese waiters here. Worth a drive from other parts of the Bay Area.

If you can get over saying the name, this is the place to go for dim sum in the bay area, well worth the drive from San Francisco. Plus they have those warm black bean glutinous rice balls coated in...

Fook Yuen is by far the best dim sum place in the Bay Area that I know of. If you want impeccable service, go to Tommy Toy's. Otherwise you best grin and bear chinese restaurant service in general. The reason...

This place is halfway decent. Parking is not too bad because there's a lot right next to the place, and there is a lot of space. However, I recommend sitting in the 1st floor room if you can....

The best chinese food I had so far in the Bay Area and is comparable to VIP Seafood Harbor in LA (Brentwood). The Prawns with Walnuts in some mayo madness was insanely goooooood! Dammit, I made myself...

I've never been, but whenever I drive by, I get sheer 5th grade pleasure saying the name in all sorts of stupid voices and bogus accents.

Although Millbrae is filled with Chinese restaurants, this one ranks in the top 5 of our favorites. We used to live down the street from Fook Yuen and thus, this was the place of choice for weekend...

we had a horrible experience with service 2 years ago. the waiter took down the order, repeated it to us AND got it wrong. They also refused to give us our money back for that dish. So, 2 years later, figured...

For all of you who complain about the service at dim sum restaurants, realize one thing: it's all about the FOOD! Dim sum restaurants are notorious for bad service and Fook Yuen is no exception. Their food is...

Fook Yuen's food is ok, but whatever quality is in their food is offset by their horrible service. They're imposing (example: when we didn't order any soup to start our meal, the waitress actually got the...

I went there for dim sum with ONE OTHER friend a week ago. While we were eating our dim sum, they laid a plate of baby suckling pig on the table and said suckling pigs are a part of dim sum menu. The portion...

I've been here many times over the years and it's been the same horrific service -- good thing their dim sum is so fresh and tasty that it negates the rudeness of the staff. Try anything resembling a dumpling...

Dim sum is the best on the SF Penninsula. However, it becomes a zoo on weekends with all of the crowds. Try to go early (before noon to avoid crowds). And if you can, try to go with someone who
