Tin's Teapot Bistro - Hayward

Fabulous food and serviceAnd when is the last time a restaurant thanked you for your businesd

There’s a lot of good Asian restaurants in the Bay Area, but this is the only one my mom would come to when she didn’t feel like cooking. The food is excellent- second only to mom’s, and truth be told, it’s often better. The dim sum is better than in SF- delicious delicate chee cheung fun, crispy jian dui with the perfectly chewy inside, tasty taro cake and the freshest char kway teow. A lot of dishes can be made vegetarian, and the ingredients are quality and fresh. Service is quick and friendly and the owner will also do private parties and catering. Dont just drive by this place- it deserves a regular rotation on your restaurant list.

We've been coming here for over ten years. It's a hidden gem for us and a nice way to kick our dim sum cravings on for Sunday Brunch.

I came here on my way back home to LA on a crazy rainy trip and it was just what I needed. I wasn’t hungry, however I just wanted to have dim sum and the atmosphere was really cozy and welcoming. For a weekday lunch it was a good amount of people here. Everyone was smiling and laughing, the food was wayyy better than LA dim sum, you can’t even compare it. The staff was very sweet! I would have eaten more and looked at everyone’s dishes which looked and smelled delicious. 10/10 experience!! Parking: They have their own parking lot!

Possibly the worst dim sum I’ve had in North America. Congee was barely lukewarm and shrimp dumpling was all stuck together. At least the flavor is authentic to the 19th century Cantonese dim sum when salt was in short supply due to the Qing dynasty’s tight control.
