Koi Palace Contempo in Cupertino offers an authentic Cantonese dining experience, emphasizing freshness and traditional flavors. The menu shines with classic dim sum selections like lobster har gow and steamed chicken feet, paired perfectly with the pan-seared soup dumplings. Signature dishes such as the apple wood smoked Peking duck, known for its crispy skin and rich taste, and the stir-fried beef chow fun capture the essence of Cantonese cuisine. The chef’s specials elevate the menu with luxurious options like Salted Egg Yolk Dungeness Crab and Typhoon Sampan Style Dungeness Crab, delivering bold, memorable flavors. I found the balance between texture and seasoning across dishes impressive—highlighted by the tender clay pot chicken and the fragrant stir-fried lobster with scallions and ginger. The thoughtful execution, combined with a warm, inviting atmosphere, makes Koi Palace Contempo a must-visit for those craving refined yet hearty Chinese flavors in a contemporary setting.
