Milpitas Ulferts Center guide: choose a meal, then stop for tea
At Milpitas Ulferts Center, a first visit can revolve around one restaurant and a tea stop. The center's directory includes Koi Palace, Yaichi Japanese Restaurant, The Rice House and Ceré Tea.
Pick the meal that suits your group rather than treating the selection as a restaurant crawl. Dim sum calls for a different outing from a bowl of udon, and there is no need to fit both into the same afternoon.

Where to start
Koi Palace: dim sum and Cantonese dining
768 Barber Lane
Koi Palace describes its cooking through dim sum and Cantonese seafood. The Milpitas branch page gives this location's current contact, ordering and reservation information.
Make this the main stop if your group wants to spend time over a shared meal. Check the branch menu when choosing dishes because the brand notes that menus vary by location.
Yaichi Japanese Restaurant: udon and seafood bowls
668 Barber Lane
Yaichi's menu lists udon and seafood bowls at this address. Options shown include beef curry udon, plum udon and tempura udon.
Compare the menu before deciding between noodles and a seafood bowl. Check ingredients with the restaurant if a dietary restriction affects your choice.
The Rice House: clay pot rice
678 Barber Lane
The Rice House confirms its Barber Lane address. Its pictured menu lists clay pot rice dishes, including roast duck and beef options. It is another meal choice if you prefer rice to udon or dim sum.
Browse the restaurant's menu before leaving and ask about the dishes currently available. Leave enough time for the meal rather than adding it as an extra course after another restaurant.
Ceré Tea: matcha and hōjicha drinks
686 Barber Lane
Ceré Tea's Milpitas menu lists its Milpitas branch at 686 Barber Lane and includes matcha and hōjicha drinks. Choose the Milpitas location when looking at its menu.
A tea stop can finish the outing or be the purpose of a shorter visit. Seasonal drinks and branch selections can change.
Build the visit around one restaurant
Choose Koi Palace, Yaichi or The Rice House for the meal, then add Ceré if you want a drink. Share the street number of the restaurant where you plan to meet.
About 90 minutes is a planning estimate for a meal and tea. A large dim sum gathering may need longer, and this is not a measured walking route through the property.
Before you go
Check the selected business's current information and follow posted parking rules. The center directory is useful for finding options, while merchant pages provide the branch information linked here.
