Fu Lam Mum

Fu Lam Mum is a Chinese restaurant in Mountain View, California.

Fu Lam Mum makes a Cantonese meal on Castro Street in Mountain View easy to share, beginning with a varied dim sum selection. Shrimp har gow, shrimp-and-pork siu mai, and rice noodle rolls give a table several contrasting shapes and textures. We like that these smaller dishes can form the meal or become the opening round before larger plates arrive. Beef chow fun, chow mein, and fried rice provide more substantial choices, while Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and garlic string beans add vegetables alongside the dumplings. Crisp taro-and-pork puffs bring another texture into the mix. Egg tarts, custard buns, and mango pudding offer different ways to finish. Fu Lam Mum's appeal is the flexibility of that Cantonese repertoire: a few baskets can make lunch, while noodles, vegetables, and sweets turn it into a broader shared spread.
