Premium quality ingredients at a premium price with professional service in an upscale setting. Enjoyed all the dishes we ordered quite a bit from the fried green beans, BBQ pork buns, peking duck is a must get, scallops with eggplant stir-fried was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Beef fried noodles were extremely tasty, good noodle texture, good amounts of protein. Wouldn't hesitate to come back if you wanted to have an outing with friends and were craving Chinese food. Didn't make any reservations and was able to be seated without a wait on Tuesday at 6:30pm.

This is kind of a fine dining Chinese restaurant. It’s nice to come for a family/friends gathering. The price is a bit high but with good service and good food! I love their shrimp & pork siu mai definitely a must ordered dish. 🤤

Excellent service and atmosphere, but quality of food is not up to the price. I would rate 3.5/5 to the food. We paid $80 for 2 people (after tax and tips)

Tai Pan has been consistently excellent in the 17 or so years since it opened. It is an authentic Chinese' restaurant rather than the sugar added to all dishes 'American Chinese' that is prevalent. All dishes are exceptional. Over the years we have worked our way through the menu. Of particular note is the bok choi, chicken in lettuce cups,chicken wings, prawns in garlic and the delicious hot and sour soup

Pretty delicious dim sum, but also pretty expensive.

Items ordered: Mongolian beef Shrimp and pork siu mai Pecking duck with lotus bun Chowmein beef The Mongolian beef was good but oily. The chowmein and the siu mai were very average. The pecking duck with lotus bun tasted really good but had a slightly high price point for the quantity served. Service The servers were prompt but slightly impolite. They weren’t able to answer our queries about the dishes. Overall, I think the place was very costly compared to what the place had to offer. So feel free to skip! Note: You will be charged for the tea served at the start of the order. So politely refuse for the tea if you don’t want it.

We’ve ordered fried rice, salt and pepper fish, and sweet and sour chicken. The food are nicely cooked and prepared. The fish was surprisingly have a nice crisp outside and soft inside. The sweet and sour chicken was prepared with an actual pineapple shell. However, considering the portion size we didn’t expect to pay more than $120 for 3-4 entrees.

A Friend took us to Tai Pan for lunch. The place is well decorated inside. The Staff very pleasant. The food is very delicious. There are dim sum dishes that were a first for me. The price point is good for this area. We will be back once back in Palo Alto.
