Mayflower Seafood Restaurant

I had a wonderful Dim Sum experience with a table of Three. I recommend ordering the black bean steamed chicken feet and durian puff pastry! I also had this plate of salted fish fried rice which was exceptionally good! Lovely service as they provide a $1.50 per person hot tea/water. Their atmosphere is great and their restrooms are top notch clean and modern!

Sometimes, life just gets too busy to be able to prepare a Thanksgiving meal at home. And when you're a Chinese-heritage family and want high-quality foods you've grown up with, you go to Mayflower. And that's what we did. We appreciated their prix-fixe family meals at a wide range of price points--this let's you focus socializing with your family and not spend 20 minutes figuring out what to order. We had a splendid evening with wonderful food and family, and no need to clean up afterwards.

I recently dined at Mayflower Seafood Restaurant in San Jose. The service was satisfactory, with staff being generally attentive and polite. However, the food was just okay. While the portions were generous, the flavors didn't stand out, and some dishes felt a bit underwhelming. Overall, it's an average spot for Cantonese cuisine if you're not too particular about the food quality.

I hadn't been here since I was a kid doing yum cha with my family and it's funny to see all my friend's comments about how bad their experiences once were. However, I have to say that for my friend's wedding recently, they were the absolute best in providing an amazing banquet experience. The venue was large to fit nearly 300 guests with a small area for photos and an entire dance floor. Everyone was gathering around for photos with the couple and the staff were very accommodating for all of our needs. As a vegan, I usually get a major short end of the stick when it comes to Chinese restaurants and banquet meals, but I was shocked to have 6 different dishes served to me which was more than I expected. Everything was pretty good too - definitely a lot more inventive than at other Chinese banquets I've attended in recent years. Love the use of tofu and mushrooms to really amp up my offerings. Staff were also extremely friendly and would shoot the s--- with us especially when it came to requests for more water or making space in order for the wine glasses to start getting poured. They took real good care of us, serving my friends individually depending on their dish in the massive ten-course seafood meal. Cheers to the newlyweds and thanks Mayflower for hosting an incredible wedding banquet.

Restaurant looks good after remodeling. Food is good and the desert is amazing. Good to have another alternative for Cantonese food in the Bay Area.

Perfect place for your uncle’s 75th birthday party. Food is pretty good but not amazing, but it accommodates many.

I am beyond disgusted and with the way my table was treated during our dining experience. It was degrading. Went to this restaurant earlier today with my friends for a get together. At the restaurant, it started to come to me that they didn’t really have much respect for ALL customers, just those who seem to be more “grown” or the elderly— those who seem that would speak up more compared to younger people. It seems to me that they saw us as a group of young high school/college students that could tolerate waiting longer without complaining. We aren’t stupid. Just because we look younger doesn’t mean any form of laziness or dirty business practices could be slipped by. I honestly do not appreciate the amount of indirect disrespect I felt throughout the experience. I was appalled by the service attitude they had toward my table. We ordered around 10 items, but they all came at such a sluggish speed. Every 10-20 minutes one dish would come out. The thing is, we were there with a large group with over 10 people, so it was everyone taking a bite and waiting for another 10-20 for the other dish to come out. The table next to us came around 30 minutes after we ordered. Ten minutes after their table was full with everything they ordered. Meanwhile, I even had to ask the waiter about the other dishes that was yet to come after waiting for nearly an hour later. We were then informed that one of the dish was cancelled because they ran out. It angered me with the fact how they informed us after we asked, not the other way around. When they brought the food on the table, they even slightly dropped it onto the table and slid it across, which is something that is definitely considered absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional in Asian customs and culture. Even when I went to get the check, the item they cancelled was still included in the bill. Coincidence? I think not. I honestly do not appreciate the amount of indirect disrespect I felt throughout the experience. Customers should be served on a timely manner and based on the time they were seated, not based on what type of group they seem to fit in to. Don’t get me wrong, this is a “kid friendly” environment ONLY WHEN there are “adult”- adults present. But if it’s a group of younger people around ages 18-20, it’s a completely different story. T I felt disrespected and deeply insulted in all ways possible and they definitely did not deserve the 18% mandatory service fee that we were charged. The behavior and unprofessionalism of this restaurant is disgusting and definitely gave me a great first impression on this so called “one of the best” restaurants in the South Bay.

Hau gau is filled with whole shrimp, not minced. Shu mai is large and not packed with low fatty pork. Just enough fat. Both was delicious. Pork belly while crispy it’s a bit hard to chew. Oyster in xo sauce (chef special) was deep fried ave lacked any oyster flavor. Hard pass on these. Mandatory 18% service was unsavory. This use to be a top shelf restaurant. Judging from empty Cisco parking lots and WFH and remote I fear this is a downward spiral.
