I've been eating at Cooking Papa's since a friend introduced me to their restaurant in 2012. Their food is always fast, fresh, hot and amazing. Their sausage dumplings are one of my favorites but it's all good from their green beens, dim sum, noodles, seafood, I mean where do you start, it's all so tasty. It's a little noisy and sometimes it gets busy but it's worth the wait. Highly recommend.

This place is no longer called cooking Papa. It's Papa Express. I only tried the dishes on the photo. Chicken wing. Though it says salt and pepper, I tasted the salt, not much the pepper, also they use curry powder to marinate the chicken wing. It's pretty crispy. The batter is good. Chow fun with sauce, beef and egg. You can taste the a good stir fry Chow fun (鑊氣) flavor is good. Got skill. Beef stew noodle soup. Good tender beef stew, good flavor soup, noodle is not bad. This place is cheaper than cooking Papa which I thought was too expensive. Though it operates like a fast food restaurant, the quality of good seems to be good. I give it a 4 stars for now and will try more in the future.
Food is authentic Hong Kong Style Cantonese. Can't wait till they open for indoor dining.
The food was not exceptional but flavourful and typical Chinese chaise, strong umami flavours, oily and loaded with MSG and oyster sauce. The restaurant is small and the toilet is filthy. There is always a as it on this small restaurant but they are pretty quick in serving.
It's like Hong Kong cafe with street food. Food is tasty in general and service is efficient. Price is reasonable. Love the brisket dish, most of the noodle soup are pretty good. BBQ items are good here. The place get pretty loud with the hard surfaces and loud talking customers. The only gripe is parking is hard to come up as the lot is very small and street parking is hard to come by.

It has recently changed to a semi-self-service operation. We order at the counter, pay at the counter, get a number tabletop sign, wait for food delivery at table, eat, and clean up after eating. Menu simplified so there is no complex dishes. I kind of like this Pandera Bread style eatery. We only had soup noodle and rice noodle. They are the same as before. Pretty good.
Coooking Papa in Santa Clara offers solid choices of Hong Kong style dishes. Food is good and flavorful. The service is typical of Chinese restaurant - be ready to wave your hand to get waiters’ attention. On the other hand, the bus staffs are pretty attentive in water and tea refills. I’ve been here a few times in last couple months and haven’t really had to wait for table.
