I love thier oxtail soup. Their beef noodle soup is also really good. Their main dishes I think are more meant to be shared family style, highly recommend this place

So chow mein and the soup are so good, actually every meal we ordered is delicious. Lamb cumin, deep fried flounder, and tofu with vegetables are top notch, even my picky eater could not resist.

Fun place to dine with friends. Portions are large and the food is tasty but very salty. The service wasn’t the warmest, but the food arrived fast and hot. Lots of options make it a great spot for a crowd. Many meat-free items. Our favorites were the Chow mein and green beans

I really liked their sour veggies and beef soup. I think a fourth of the clams in black bean clams weren't open.

The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The chicken chow mein and chestnut chicken with garlic sauce were both good, but they were missing something to really make the flavors pop. While the service was quick, it wasn't particularly friendly. The portion sizes, however, were perfect for two people.

This place was recommended as the best place for hot noodle soup, the kind we Koreans crave after a drunken evening. I chose the seafood hot noodle soup (they have the same without the “hot”), and my friend chose a Three-Flavor Noodle Soup—no red soup base. They also provide two choices of noodles: long or cut. I opted for the cut noodle. I enjoyed the menu and will return to try the main dishes and dim sum soon. I highly recommend it.

The highlight for me was definitely the thick scallion pancake with extra scallions — this is a must-order! The outer layer is super crispy, and the inside is packed with rich scallion flavor, but without that doughy, undercooked texture some pancakes have. It’s perfectly balanced and easily my favorite of the meal. The Three Delicacies Knife-Cut Noodles were also really good — full of wok hei, with a flavorful broth, and the noodles had a great chewy texture. Very satisfying bowl overall. The rest were more on the average side: • Steamed dumplings: The wrapper was a bit thick for my taste. The filling was fine, nothing amazing but nothing terrible either. • Rice ball (fan tuan): A bit too rice-heavy and light on fillings. Not really my thing — I prefer more filling in every bite. • Fried dough with sesame flatbread (shaobing youtiao): Standard and cleanly made, but I personally like my shaobing crispier.

Darda Seafood has always been one of my go-to spots for flavorful Chinese Islamic cuisine. The Cumin Lamb is absolutely incredible — tender, aromatic, and packed with bold spices. The Chili Chicken hits the perfect balance of heat and flavor, and the Three-Flavored Fried Rice is always a satisfying choice, loaded with a good mix of proteins and great texture. That said, I’ve noticed the menu prices have gone up quite a bit recently. While the food is still delicious, the cost increase makes it harder to visit as often. I hope the owners will consider revisiting the pricing it would go a long way in keeping loyal customers coming back regularly. Still a great spot overall, especially if you're craving something Halal Chinese food and well-spiced!

Darda Seafood Restaurant is good food. The spicy garlic sauce on the shredded chicken is extremely hot and really good. The red chilis are not to be eaten, lol. But other than that, the food came out quickly. This was my first visit to Darda Seafood restaurant, and I plan to return again soon. This is a guys lunch spot, and everything is prepared Halal. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good lunch spot with fast service.

We visited Darda Seafood Restaurant in Santa Clara and spent the day there. We were a group of four and we ordered a family style meal. It included Kungpao chicken, beef Chow Mein, eggplant brown sauce, sesame bread with thick crust, and white rice. The meal came with hot tea. The service was basic and average. The food was good overall. My best dish was the sesame bread. It tasted delicious and could be taken with the main meal or between meals. The food came so fast. There was less than 10 minutes of wait time. The atmosphere was casual and I could see the supply room being used by the staff throughout my meal. Overall, yes I could go back. I think you’ll enjoy this place more if you go with a big group… 4 people or more. For 4 people, we spent $105, which is a very reasonable price per person.

First time to try Darda Seafood restaurant and the food was good. We got beef with mushrooms and bamboo, sweet and sour chicken, rice, shrimp rolls and thick sesame bread with green onions. The food was good and tasty, they serve us tea before the food which was nice. Nice place to visit.

First time in this restaurant, just coming directly from the airport. There was a big parking lot and many stores next to each other. But we were told there were many smashing and graping in this area, so we took everything inside the restaurant. There were many selections in this restaurant, service was really fast. The food we had was all good, the pancakes were a really good portion.

I may need to try different items to find flavor. The textures were nice but the combination of meat and bamboo shoots were just okay. We ordered chicken noodle soup, it needed more broth because there was a lot of fresh noodles. The noodles in the chow mein seemed to also overpower the 3-flavor sauce. The steamed dumplings were fine, I should have used a dipping sauce. Service is quick and efficient.

I have been there a few times before. We loved it before. But last time, the quality was not good, not like the previous. Chilly Chicken has small pieces. I am not sure if it has the piece of chicken…

1Star (once a 4Star) Darda Seafood Restaurant For decades, this restaurant was renowned for serving some of the best northern Chinese noodle soup in the area. Unfortunately, things have taken a dramatic turn for the worse. We ordered the beef noodle soup, a dish we’ve loved for years. To our dismay, it tasted like nothing more than soy sauce diluted with water—overly salty and utterly lacking in depth. There were no vegetables except a few green onions, and the beef, once tender and flavorful, was reduced to tiny, flavorless pieces measuring no more than ¾” x ½”. We also tried the once-famous Lamb with Green Onions, a dish that used to boast rich texture and flavor. Sadly, it had been shredded into dry, tasteless meat floss that bore no resemblance to the original dish. The Tea-Smoked Duck was another disappointment. It was extremely dry, difficult to chew, and filled with shards of bones, making it almost inedible. When we politely raised our concerns with the servers and hostess, we were met with dismissive attitudes and defensive rebuttals. They insisted that “no other customers complained,” leaving us feeling unwelcome and shocked by their arrogance. The overall service was unprofessional, careless, and riddled with bad attitudes. Combined with food that lacked freshness, flavor, and attention to detail, this experience was profoundly disappointing. We do not recommend this restaurant, and it’s heartbreaking to see a place with such a strong legacy fall so far from grace.
