Koi Palace - Milpitas

Har Gow

Translucent rice-flour wrappers pulled so thin the pink shrimp shows through, with a taut snap and no gummy residue

Siu Mai

Open-topped pork and shrimp dumplings with a firm, juicy fill and a bright roe garnish that pops

Liu Sha Bao

Steamed custard buns that release a river of molten salted egg yolk when broken open — sweet, salty, and just barely set

Baked Char Siu Bao

Glossy honey-lacquered buns with a flaky shell and a caramelized BBQ pork center that's sweet without being cloying

Pan-Fried Turnip Cake

Lo bak go with a seared crust and a soft, daikon-forward interior — better than most carts deliver

Cheung Fun with Shrimp

Silky rice noodle rolls wrapped around whole shrimp and finished with sweet soy, a test of kitchen consistency Koi Palace passes reliably

Egg Tarts

Pastry shells with a short, buttery crust and a silky, barely-sweet egg custard that wobbles at the center

Ginger-Scallion Lobster

Live lobster stir-fried with ginger, scallion, and a light sauce that lets the freshness of the tank-to-wok sourcing land

XO Sauce Fried Rice

Wok-tossed rice with dried scallop and shrimp XO that delivers umami in waves without turning greasy

Century Egg and Pork Congee

Silky rice porridge with the mineral depth of century egg and tender pork ribbons — solid but rarely transcendent here
