    Saigon Seafood Harbor runs a hybrid system: you fill out a paper order slip, then carts bring the food anyway. It's a dim sum parlor in a Sunnyvale strip, and the barbecue pork buns arrive with that glassy, lacquered top that signals someone is paying attention. The siu mai gets a drizzle of chile oil, and the scallop dumplings are translucent little parcels with enough celery to keep things bright. Weekend tables fill fast, so come early or come hungry enough to wait.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Barbecue pork buns

      “The barbecue pork buns are wildly delicious with a glistening top that looks polished to a glassy sheen.”

      San Francisco Chronicle
    • Siu mai

      “Fresh chile oil provides a mellow kick of spice and complements the siu mai with a golden ratio of shrimp and pork that’s chunky but not tough.”

      San Francisco Chronicle
    • Scallop dumplings

      “Try the scallop dumplings, a translucent package of tender scallops, shrimp and small cubes of celery that add freshness.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
