Dingguagua Tasty Legend - Milpitas

Our first time here, and we were blown away. The food was amazing!! FYI the sign on the outside says Perfect Chinese Food over the door, but Dingguagua in Chinese. We ordered: Guo Bao Rou (G20 Old style Double Cooked Pork Slices $14.99 we 've been on the hunt for authentic guo bao rou and this one is the BEST in the Bay Area (SO says it 's 80% authentic compared to back in Dongbei ! The others are too sweet, and Dingguagua makes theirs more sour than sweet so it 's not overwhelming, and with that hard crisp (while other restaurants are soggy . We saw a lot of other tables ordered this too so everyone knows about it lol. SO GOOD! Big Shrimp Dry Pot (it says Shrimp Hot Pot on the receipt $16.99 this isn 't actually on the menu, but SO asked what type of dry pots they have, and the waitress said they had Dry Pot with all different types of meat, including big shrimp. This was FANTASTIC!! So complex in flavor and spice, the shrimp were fresh, gigantic, and meaty, and it had assorted fresh vegetables (bell pepper, lotus, celery, onions, bamboo . SO GOOD! Smoked Pork Pancake (A6 $10.99 The shredded pork has so much smoky flavor and they give you such a generous portion. The pork is wrapped in an amazingly fresh pancake (if you love Beef Pancake or Scallion Pancakes, you will LOVE THIS! It 's one of the best pancakes I 've ever had , topped with some shredded green onions, cucumber, and hoisin sauce. You get four large pancakes! SO GOOD! We also got a Wang Lao Ji (canned herbal drink that has been around since 1828! that tastes like a yummy sweet chrysanthemum tea. Perfect way to cap off a wonderfully high quality satisfying meal!

Waitress's attitude was really aweful, very impatient to whatever I asked. To go order was almost like tossing to me and dropped on the pick up table....

Updated: Owner needs attention for food safety. I found a mental remaining seems to be from dish wash brush in my takeout food.Plenty choices for a combo deal of 3 dishes

Dunno why all the bad reviews. I generally liked most of the dishes I ordered. Good- Smoked pork pancake: really good. You can taste the smokiness I'm the near which I really liked. Pancake was thin and crispy. Each wrap had a good amount of meat. Braised tofu: hard to mess this up but it was good or at least at good as everybody else Braised Meatballs with glass noodles: I expected a thin glass noodles but it was a flat glad noodle which was interesting. The meatballs were as good as any other place I've tried this dish Chiliuxiang pork ribs: comes with a bit of chilis. Wish it had more but the ribs were good. But totally fall off the bone but kinda close. Ok- Fried pumpkin with Salted egg flavor: not sure what I was expecting here. It came as described but I guess I didn't expect batter. It was good but prob wouldn't get again Bad- Pineapple shrimp: the shrimp and dish is basically the same as like walnut shrimp. On their website menu it says shrimp balls so I ordered this out of curiosity. The shrimp themselves were ok but the pineapple had a really funky flavor. It tasted of gas/chemical. I'm guessing they cooked it on the same thing they cook meats on. Wouldn't recommend this dish Overall, felt this was a solid Chinese restaurant and would prob order from here again

Best takeout family combo in town, with good taste and unbeatable price. Love their Scallion pancakes, crispy eggplants and all tofu dishes.
