Mayflower Chinese - San Jose

The Great Northern offers delicious Taiwanese-style cuisine that feels like true home cooking. The sauce for the spicy wontons is absolutely amazing. I've sampled that dish at many Taiwanese and Szechuan restaurants, but this place has the best sauce I've ever encountered. When I asked the waiter how it’s made, he gruffly replied, "It's a family secret!" You definitely need to check this place out!

Must-try items include: - Minced Pork over Rice - Jah Jerng Mein (Minced Pork Bean over dry noodles) - Spicy Beef Stew Noodle (one of the best I've ever had) - Wontons in Spicy Chili Sauce (the special sauce they use is amazing) - Green Onion Pancake - Shaolin Steamed Dumplings - Kung Pao Chicken Additionally, they offer a traditional Taiwanese Saturday Brunch Dim Sum menu featuring Sweet and Savory Soy Bean Milk and salty Chinese donuts (fahn twan).
