Darda Seafood Restaurant, Milpitas CA

This has been one of our favorites for many many years. We made friends with many of their staff members over the years. Our go-to dishes are Sesame Green Onion Bread (both thick and thin versions are great), Dumplings, Braised Beef with Leek (2nd picture), Beef with Sliced Noodle Soup, and Variety Fried Sliced Noodle. During Covid we ordered take-out on a weekly basis. So glad we were able to dine in last Sunday. Great to see our friends there and our kids loved having extra fortune cookies from the staff! (Next time I’ll make sure I take better photos.)

A nice place with authentic Chinese halal food. We specifically liked sweet and sour chicken and the Mongolian beef was out of this world! However their fried rice was less tasty with less meat portions which we didn't like. Otherwise, a good place with good food and service.

All the reviews were saying to get the sesame bread. So I ordered the sesame bread along with orange beef.

After taking the first bite out of the sesame bread my life was changed. I saw beauty in the world and all my stress just melted away. It was so good that i went in the next day, and the day after that just to get more of this bread.

The orange chicken used real oranges instead of concentrates. The flavor was bold, daring yet delicate, luscious and tasty. The spice levels were perfect for my taste.

Will be coming back here.

I have been coming since 1996. It's a great restaurant in Milpitas to enjoy Halal Chinese food. I love their swear and sour chicken and chili chicken. You are seated when it's available, and take-outs are usually 20 mins. So they are pretty quick.

Good food with ample portions. The sesame flatbread is a must order, and it pairs very well with the soups/stews offered here.

Hello, this is my favorite restaurant! I love the handmaiden noodles, chicken corn soup, sesame bread and their own sambal sauce is delicious. Mongolian beef is my favorite thing to order, it is very tender and they have great fast service. The pandemic has hurt lots of businesses. Please support this business! They have great, fast and excellent service, the owner has known my family for decades and is usually in the store to make sure things are run well. Please tip the servers if you can:) thank you for serving our niche community for 25 years of my life. My family is grateful to you for having halal Chinese food.

The place you go to feast on some of your favorite taiwanese brunch items: Shao-Bang (sesame bread with Chinese donut Sammie) and Egg and Green onion Crepe.

Food was good, nice variety of Chinese Muslim food, service was not great though (hence 4 stars). They seemed rushed even though it wasn’t close to closing time, and the place was only 40-50% occupied.

Super bad restaurant. Double tips request without notice customer. When you found it out. Their reply was rude and didn't care. Each one come to the restaurant, pay attention to the bill and tips!

Delicious authentic halal food.
Every dish has its unique flavorful sauce, pampering the taste buds of a foodie.
A must go - well price for the quantity.

I've been dining here for over 20 years. Food quality is good has always been consistent over the years. Service is great. You get your food within 5 to 10 minutes of ordering.

Saturday Chinese breakfast menu is basically a secret because they don't have it in English, but fan tuan, soy milk, sesame bread, they have it all. Cash preferred under $40 but they will still swipe your card. They are super nice here.

Excellent halal Chinese food that we always have to visit when in Santa Clara. Service is quick and efficient without frills. Busy usually but we didn’t have to wait on a Friday night just after California lifted Covid-19 restrictions.

This is my second day ordering food. This time I went for dine-in. I am very disappointed with the taste of their food. It used to be very good 10-15 years ago. It is still not bad since they have a lot of choices. Out of all the Chinese dishes, I am specially fond of Kung Pao beef. I was so hungry that I didn't pay attention on what vegetables they use. When the food came I was so disgusted with tons of Celery and green onion. Who serves Kung Pao with these veggies? At other restaurants, Kung Pao is served with zuchinni, chestnuts, and other tasty veggies. The chicken fried rice also did not taste that great.

Also they charged me a 15% service charge (never paid that at other places). Go to "Thai Express" in Newark. The food is soooo much better and tastier. It is owned by Chinese people and half the menu is Chinese.

We drive 77 miles to just come eat at our favorite halal restaurant!
Food is always hot and delicious! They are quick and everything always is great!
