Joyful Dim Sum Bistro - (Near Fremont, CA)

3 /5 Khiem Nguyen: Ill be real, we were excited to try this place but it is not joyful at all. By that, I mean the service. It was 100% like she didnt want us to be there. Like our server was extremely short with us and essentially ignored us. When we dont get a single smile until you collect the bill, it kind of sends a message. Shame cause the food was good. The Xiao long back is good. The shumai is on the porkier side. Everything else was fine. The turnip cakes are bland. Maybe the service soured the experience. Its nice that they give you hot water to make tea to eat the dim sum. The bathroom and table were clear enough.

5 /5 David Shen: Clean, fresh, and high quality ingredients for all their dishes. I have tried places like Mr. Siu Mai but this place takes the cake. The food here is made with super fresh seafood and pork meat. Their oil used to fry things tastes very clean and fresh. Portions here are also very generous and the atmosphere is perfect. Very quiet as well! Would certainly come back here again!

5 /5 Steve Evans: Note: This restuarant has recently moved just around the corner to a much more spacious location. The food choices remain diverse and delicious. Fortunately there were five of us so we were able to order close to a dozen different entrees. All were excellent and we had plenty to take home for the next days meal. (They reheat very well.) In particular I liked both the baked and steamed pork buns, pot stickers and shrimp spring rolls. Others in my party enjoyed a more diverse menu including har gow, vegitarian dumplings and fried taro puffs. There was plenty of free parking and both indoor and outdoor dining. We all agree that we will be returning again soon to the Joyful Dimsum Bistro!

5 /5 Benjamin Y.: This is the best dim sum place in all of Fremont. Their dim sum is as good a anything you will find in San Francisco or Oaklands Chinatown. Prices are very reasonable. Order ahead. They make just about everything to order. Best to order to go. They have limited seating indoors and outdoors. It is a family owned business and the owners mom is the cook. One of the few thriving places in the Mission San Jose area of Fremont. UPDATE!!!!! They just moved the restaurant just around the same shopping center to the old Laugh Tei restaurant location. They just opened yesterday in their expanded location just yesterday to 129 Anza St just next to Elite Academy. Still the great food they serve with new items on their menu. You need to check out their new location and menu items!!

5 /5 Marianne O: This is the hidden gem of dim sum in Fremont. Their dim sum is yummy and fresh and are reasonably priced. Owners are friendly and accommodative. The restaurant has limited seating but there are a few outdoor seats. Cash only below $30. People love to take out. They serve dim sum all day (except afternoon breaks from 3-4pm). They also offer oolong tea and green tea for free.
