If you're looking for a satisfying Chinese dining experience in San Jose, New Hwong Kok should be on your radar. Located at 2854 S White Rd, this establishment has quickly garnered a loyal following, particularly for its dim sum. Customers rave about the array of dishes on offer, highlighting the beef cheng fun as a standout, alongside their delectable BBQ pork buns in both steamed and baked forms.
Reviewers have noted the restaurant's efficiency, ideal for those on the go. Aaron Lim appreciated the no-frills setup that allows for quick takeaways. For many, such as Kelvin Bungcayao, the value for money is unparalleled, especially when it comes to their lunch combos. The flavorful, flaky egg tarts and the savory har gow also make an impression, although feedback suggests that the Baked BBQ bun could use a heartier filling.
As Dave Chun mentions, the bustling atmosphere with lines often out the door is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. Whether you are craving a hearty bowl of congee or a plate of sticky rice, New Hwong Kok promises an authentic taste of home at an accessible price point.

12/25/2022, egg tart not super sweet, crust flaky, har gow is okay, 9/26/21 not enough meat in Baked BBQ bun. Egg Tart is flavorful and crust is flaky.

My family's favorite place for dim sum lunch. Lunch combos are cheap for the amount of food you get. Love the noodles & the fish porridge and every dim sum we've tried tasted good. Personal preference, but these are the types of food services I prefer. Get in & get out, no frills, no thrills, just hand me a bag of good food and be on my way.

This is our favorite place for beef cheng fun. I think they call it beef rice crepe. There's a shrimp version, but the beef version is our favorite. I also like their BBQ pork buns, both the streamed and baked versions are good. The turnip cake is good. If you can afford the calories, try the deep fried sesame balls with sweet bean paste inside. Then try the version that doesn't have the sesame seeds and looks like a golden delicious colored rock, there's a savory pork filling inside...you won't be disappointed.

You know a place to good if there are: 1. Line out the door 2. Amazing smells 3. Alot of Asians at a Asian restaurant :) Really affordable, tasty food. This place fulfilled my dim sum craving and still had leftovers for dinner. The congee was excellent as well as the shu mai and sticky rice. Overall everything was tasty and cheap!!

Called and reserved a sweet rice cake (年糕)and daikon cake (蘿蔔糕) for Lunar New Year, plus some dim sum for lunch. The Dim sum is tasted pretty good, price is cheaper than others. The cashier attitude is super good.
