Wow this restaurant is one of my new favorites in the Bay Area. I didn’t want rate this place 5 stars to move it further away from 3.5 stars but everything about this restaurant is excellent. The service is super friendly and quick and the food is top tier. The honey walnut shrimp is one of the best I have ever had and their mushroom and green beans were also very delicious. Highly recommend coming here!

We come here often because my in-laws love this place. I used to think the food was decent. But this time, the dishes we chose were pretty good. Especially the fried fish fillet.

Nestled in San Jose, California, Mayflower Restaurant may appear modest from the outside, but don't let its unassuming facade deceive you. This charming gem is a quintessential mom-and-pop establishment with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting atmosphere. One unique feature that caught our attention was the ability to order directly from our table by scanning a barcode. This innovative approach made the dining experience seamless and convenient, allowing everyone at the table to easily place their orders or opt for a collective order. The decision to dine here was thanks to my wife, who discovered Mayflower through glowing reviews, and we're so glad she did. Our meal exceeded all expectations, with each dish arriving piping hot and bursting with flavor. The potstickers were a standout favorite, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 in my book. The wonton soup was equally delightful, and the combination chow mein and chicken were absolute winners. What truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service provided by the friendly and attentive staff. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. In conclusion, Mayflower Restaurant is a hidden gem that surpasses expectations with its delectable cuisine and welcoming ambiance. Whether you're stopping by for lunch or dinner, this establishment comes highly recommended.

Small place, busy, very large menu. I tried the Prawns with snow pea leaves were tasty Gee-tsai fish soup was like Westlake soup with fish. It was good Pan fried chives cakes, were very fresh and very good. Beef fried rice had a slight smoky flavor and was also very good. Went back multiple times, prices are reasonable and I've liked everything I tried.

Good dishes but the place was under renovation. Now, the face-lifting was done (to some good effects) and the food is as good as ever.

This is our favorite place to get takeout for our regular Sunday night Netflix evening. The food is great. My favorites are the orange chicken, the curry chicken, and the salt and pepper tofu, Add some of the favorites among my friends are the Mongolian beef, beef chow fun, garlic string beans, and sweet-and-sour pork. They prepare the orders pretty quickly. The atmosphere is pleasant, but pretty utilitarian.

Price is reasonable. The food is good. Not too spicy or salty. Highly recommend the duck. They are specialized Shanghai food. Service is adequate. Recommended.

Very good authentic Chinese food. We ordered many dishes that came at once. Highlight is still the fried pumpkin with salted egg. Friendly service.

Stunned by the rave reviews when my Mapo Tofu wasn’t even edible. It was undercooked tofu that was the wrong type of tofu and incorrect consistency swimming in a watery mixture that neither looked nor tasted like authentic Mapo Tofu. No peppercorn, no usual spices, etc. Disappointed by all of it. They made a big deal about giving me white rice too. Only edible part of the meal was the rice.

Looked at the reviews before coming. Service seemed quite promising. We went with a decent amount of time before their advertised closing time. We went in, all signs said they were still open, and the employees rudely announced that they were closed and shooed us away. Sadly, the way they handled it makes us not want to return to try.

Went well before closing ( before 2:00pm), an employee barks that they're closed and kicks us out. Disappointed in how they handled it since they are advertised to close later. Rude enough to make us not want to come back.
