    Fish porridge & chow fun set
    Jessica H.

    Been here a few times & unfortunately, the quality & flavors of the dishes are not very consistent. On some days, everything is perfectly delicious, on other days it's very bland. My family enjoys ordering the sets/combos - particularly the fish porridge & chow fun b/c it comes with dim sum of your choice in the following categories (1S, 2M, 1L, & 1K), but the porridge is a hit & miss sometimes.

    Har Gow, chicken feet, egg yolk buns, deep fried shrimp balls, bbq pork buns, Siu Mai

    Door dashed dim sum for dinner from Golden Sun. The ordering was simple. Packaging for delivery was done well. The container for the deep fried shrimp had a cut to ventilate and prevent the dish from getting soggy. $60 including tip for 6 dishes. The chicken feet was ok. I think the flavor could be more savory and the amount was less than I'm used to seeing. The best dish was the bbq pork buns. The buns were soft and pillowy, and the bbq pork was just the right amount to bun. Other dishes that I ordered were egg yolk buns, har gow, and siu mai. Basic dim sum dishes and helped with the craving. It's probably best to have dim sum at Golden Sun Palace during their dim sum hours.

    This strip mall is packed on Sunday mornings. Good luck trying to find a parking spot haha! But Golden Sun isn't too packed which is nice. You can call ahead to reserve a table if you have a large group. Food is ok. Some of the dim sum dishes are meh but they do come out quick. So if speed and not waiting around is what you like, GS is a good Sunday brunch "yam cha" spot.

    First of all, this place offers free tea! I haven't been to many dim sum places in the bay where it offers free tea. You can tell that this is a local favorite as mostly families/elders are sitting around you. The dim sum was pretty good! I would say that the best item was the chicken feet! Super flavorful but not salty! I also love how the spongecake is made out of brown sugar, so it's not too sweet! I would definitely come back! The pricing is super reasonable as well!

    Golden Sun Palace is located in the City Square Center. Parking is ok, depending on when you come. I've been here many times for dim sum or family dinners. Spacious place, good for wedding receptions and events. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive! All the staff workers provided great service! I only ordered a few things but filling enough for me. Scallop Dumpling - decent sized dumpling filled with shrimp and a couple of bay scallops. Fried Sticky Rice w/Chinese Sausage - topped with a little scrambled egg. One of my favorite dishes. It always reminds me of going to SF to visit my grandparents. Spiced Beef Varieties - I hardly get a chance to get this dish and that's a good thing as it's high in cholesterol. This place makes it so well! A good variety of the usual in this dish but my favorite is the "ngoh bong". Nobody knows the English equivalent. Some say the pancreas, others the lungs. LOL. Chrysanthemum Tea - my waiter brought it to me saying [Cantonese], after eating the offal, this tea is good for digestion or cutting the cholesterol. [My English translation of my limited Cantonese. LOL] Support your local business.

    It's not the first time we come to this restaurant which is recommended by a friend. They are crowded during weekends so today we came early. Exterior: parking is easy Interior: basic setting, clean and tidy Customer service: very friendly and professional Food quality: very authentic Hong Kong style dishes n dim sum Surely we will come again.

    Came in before noon Sat.. Got seated right away. Nicely lit inside. No music but a few TVs on with Cantonese? Tv shows. Had carts coming around as well as able to order off menu. All good here pretty traditional Cantonese dim sum. Dishes: Sui Mai- nice sized, excellent examples of the dish. Nice amount of meat, not greasy. Steamed bean curd skin roll with pork and shrimp- pretty filling though light feeling. Stuffed densely. Again not greasy. Durian puffs- nice light crunchy outer shell and plenty of creamy durian inside. My favorite of the bunch today. Preserved egg pork congee- nicely done, decent amount of pork inside. Add white pepper to make flavors pop more. BBQ Pork puff- Again nice crispy outside plenty of fillings inside. Overall a very enjoyable dim sum and pretty economical. Liked the staff and speed of service. Will be back.

    Came here on a late Thursday afternoon for my best friend's Graduation lunch. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious with lots of natural light beaming in. The staff is super nice and attentive since it was not busy - we were practically the only people there. We were a table of 7. Ordered a bunch of dim sum and also noodle dishes (including lobster) and a Peking duck. Food was adequate - it wasn't the best but it wasn't inedible either. Honestly, for everything to only come out to $200 for 7 people that included lobster and a duck, id come back

    The last time my family and I came to Golden Sun Palace was on 12/16/2019, right before the beginning of the pandemic. That was a good day because we got to hang out with some close family friends and relatives over dim sum. Exactly five years later to the date, my family and I made our return here for a dim sum outing. The place was pretty quiet when we walked in at noon. One of the staff greeted us and she led us to a table by the windows. The interior was clean, and did not appear to have gone through any renovations since the last time we were here. Our server got us tea while we perused the vast dim sum menu. As soon as she returned, we placed our order. We ended up getting eight items plus beef chow fun. Our food started to arrive in 15 minutes, in stages. The first thing we noticed was that the dim sum items were made in-house instead of premade. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the quality. Everything was on point for the most part, and they did not skimp on anything. If I had to nitpick, I would say the beef chow fun was a bit greasy and the har gow skin was somewhat mushy. Service we received was very good. Our server was friendly, polite, and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. Dim sum items ranged from $4.95 to $9.95, and the beef chow fun was one of their daily specials at $11.95. Tea charge was waived. The total, with T/T, was about $77. Based on this experience, we will definitely return! BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted. - Their tip suggestions are based on post-tax amount. - Check out their weekday daily specials, which include noodle/rice dishes, entrée items, and dim sum combos. - No tea charge.

    New favorite spot for dim sum! The service is great, the food comes out hot, fast and authentic Cantonese flavor! I've been here 3 times in the last month for dim sum! Pro tip: Some of the favorite items that have pastry in them are only available on the weekend. Weekends get busy, come before 12pm or call ahead.

    My family had been craving Peking duck for a while so we decided to check out Golden Sun Palace in Milpitas for an early dinner. The 7 of us got to the restaurant at opening (5:30) on a Sunday and were one of the first parties there. It's a standard family-style Chinese restaurant in terms of decor and ambience - you're there for the food, the family, and not much else. We ordered the A combo and added their lobster noodle on the side. They use the duck bones left over from the crispy Peking duck to make into a thin but richly flavored broth that acts as the appetizer. Then came the Hainanese chicken, boiled and served with a garlic-ginger sauce, the rich and oily lobster noodles, the fried salt and pepper fish filet, the bok choy, and finally the star of the night: the Peking duck. After smearing oyster sauce on the provided steamed buns, sandwich a piece of duck skin and a few green onion slivers between the sides and dig in. It's so oily I usually give in after 2 or 3, but it's more than worth it. At the end of the meal they provide a plate of house baked butter cookies in place of fortune cookies (as if the meal couldn't get any heavier). Grab a takeout box for leftovers and you're set. Parent approved!

    1.5 stars, rounding up to 2 I suppose disclaimer - I only came here instead of yin ji chang fen bc I wanted 咸水角 & figured we might as well try a new place lol moderately sized restaurant, got seated quickly teacups were all dirty/sticky - I asked for a different one, but the replacement was ALSO dirty lol ... so I just drank out of my own water bottle chow mein - 6/10 wasn't expecting the thing noodles lol , kinda dry &hard to swallow, not a lot of toppings & was pretty much all just noodle shrimp chang fen - 7/10 avg but honestly probably the only thing I didn't have a complaint about here har gao - 6.5/10 skin was mushy & fell apart, inside was fine you tiao chang fen - 6/10 avg but kinda lacked taste somehow chicken feet - 6.5/10 flav was fine, texture felt a little off, also the meat was hard to get off the bone - other places do it so well the meat usually falls off char siu bao - 6.5/10 avg maybe a little dry taro ball - 6/10 pasty & felt undercooked calamari - 5/10 very mid, my friend ordered this but lol just get calamari from an actual boba shop or Japanese restaurant siu mai - 6.5/10 avg but skin was too thin xlb - 5/10 what in the world is this skin?? xian shui jiao - 4/10 unsatisfying, undercooked, inside was gloopy & pasty, skin was barely even fried (it's supposed to be golden brown)

    This is one of the best Dim Sum places if you're around the San Jose area! A small drive up to…read moreMilpitas, brings you to Yin Ji Chang Fen. They have a wide variety of choices to choose from. It looks like they specialize in Rice Noodles, so definitely give those a try! Let me just say everything that you order here comes out steaming hot so it's not your usual cart dim sum style. This was something that I tried for the first time and really appreciated! Some of the things I tried: Steamed pork and taro chunks 4/5 The steamed pork was so juicy and flavorful. They also throw in some taro chunks which I don't typically see, but it was delicious. A classic dish that's definitely worth trying. Thousand year old egg congee 4/5 The congee here comes in a GIGANTIC bowl. This is definitely something to order if going in a party of 3-4. The congee has such a home feel to it and it reminded me a lot of my grandma's congee. This was delicious. The only thing I would ask for is, I wish they had black pepper here, because that would make this dish pop out so much more Egg Rice Noodle 3/5 I saw this and it looked interesting, but it wasn't anything I found special. It was good, but not sure if I would get this again. If you're a huge fan of eggs maybe this dish is for you! Shrimp and chives Rice Noodle 5/5 This was really good, and I would order this again. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and everything was so flavorful with that oyster sauce poured over the rice noodles. I enjoyed this dish a lot, and a perfect order if you're going in a party of 3. Shrimp and chives dumpling 5/5 This is pretty similar to the rice noodle dish. One thing that I have to note is the dumpling was very soft. I preferred this a lot, since my experience with this dish is many dim sum places tend to make the skin of this dumpling really hard. This made it more enjoyable to eat. Siu Mai (Ground Pork and shrimp dumpling) 5/5 This is probably my favorite dim sum order and they nailed this one! When you take a bite into that dumpling, it is so juicy. It carries an amazing scent when you take a bite into it and I didn't really ever notice this with other Siu Mai order's. A classic order, definitely would order this one again. Service 5/5 There service here is exceptional and staff is amazing. Extremely helpful, they brought out some chili oil for us since it wasn't on the table. Food came out exceptionally quick. Everything was awesome! One thing to note, this place is pretty small so you will have to wait outside if you are on the waitlist. Check this place out, definitely a top tier dim sum place if you are looking for quality and price. Everything is very cheap and they also offer affordable rice plates (around $12-13) if you were looking for a quick meal togo!

    Delicious food, kind service, and calming ambiance…read more Ordered wonton mein, fish jook, taro dumplings and bbq pork chang fen. Enjoyed wonton, jook and chang fen the best.

Look forward to returning for more chang fen.

    My most recent visit [Saturday 08/22/26] was so very disappointing!!…read more Came here to enjoy brunch with my family. Our entire party consisted of 6 people and although there was a lot of hustle and bustle, we were able to be seated fairly quickly regardless of us not having reservations. I came here anticipating a wonderful experience and assumed I would be wowing my family with their very first visit with HL Peninsula Restaurant. While the visit was something they wouldn't soon forget, it wasn't exactly over something positive. Menus were provided and the young gentleman asked what kind of tea we wanted. We responded with the typical "chrysanthemum" and went on with viewing the menu. We meticulously wiped down the dinnerware and the tea pot arrives. Cups are filled and a bug is found floating in one of the cups. Since there were a few gnats flying about in the restaurant, I just assumed the gnat landed in the cup and died. I flag an employee and hand off the cup while requesting for a new one. New one arrives and I fill it up with tea. Again, THERE IS ANOTHER BUG. AT THIS POINT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE BUGS ARE COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE TEA KETTLE. Our entire fam stopped drinking the tea and I am forced to flag down yet another worker- this time someone more higher up. The gentleman immediately nods his head and grabs the tea kettle. NO APOLOGY, NO QUESTIONING MY ALLEGATION, NOTHING!!! Another staff member comes out with another tea kettle of chrysanthemum and I immediately decline. I request to have jasmine instead. Good move on our part because the jasmine loose tea was not bug infested. Brunch consisted of: * SALT AND PEPPER CRAB [LIVE CRAB @ 2.2LBS] * PENINSULA HOUSE FRIED RICE * SWEET & SOUR SPARE RIBS W/ FRESH PINEAPPLES * A4 WAGYU BEEF + ASPARAGUS W/ BLACK PEPPER * SHRIMP DUMPLING * PORK AND CRAB ROE SIU MAI * CHRYSANTHEMUM TEA Food was honestly really good. The tea situation was terrible and it says a lot when the employees didn't even bat an eye about the bug complaint. He calmly nodded his head and took the tea kettle which tells me the staff knew there were bugs in there. The biggest issue is not receiving a simple "sorry" over the disgusting mishap and me knowing damn well that HL Peninsula Restaurant will continuously serve that bug infested loose chrysanthemum tea. Do better, y'all. With all the money that you guys make, you can manage dumping that bulk tea purchased from China.

There were only a few dishes I didn't like. Here is what our table ordered: Peking duck: 7/10 While I often enjoy Peking duck, especially with the fluffy bao buns, this Peking duck didn't taste quite as good as others I have had elsewhere. While it was crispy and rich, it didn't have a whole lot of flavor, which was a little disappointing because it got overpowered by the bao buns. Honey walnut prawns: 9/10 I'm a huge fan of honey walnut prawns, they are my favorite at any Chinese banquet lunch. While the flavor was on point for this dish, it lacked crispness despite being the second dish to arrive. Curry chicken: 10/10 Probably my favorite meal here. I don't see curry chicken being served often, but this was amazing. Rich and creamy broth, and the chicken was tender and thinly sliced. Would come back here just for this dish. Sweet and sour pork: 9/10 Another good dish, pork was tender and sauce had a good ratio of sweet to sour. Braised tofu with mushroom: 6/10 This was probably one of my least favorites. The tofu was almost little leathery on the outside, which gave a weird mouthfeel. Other than that, the sauce was alright, and the mushrooms were good. House combination pan fried crispy noodle: 10/10 I absolutely loved these! I really enjoy the noodles with a combination of crispy and drenched in sauce, and this dish gave exactly that. The noodles somehow stayed crispy for the duration of the dinner, which was great. Pan fried noodles with soy sauce: N/A Didn't try it, but it looked good! Salted fish with chicken fried rice: 7/10 While the flavor on the rice was pleasant, with a good mix in of vegetables and chicken, the fish was extremely salty. Each tiny chunk of fish was like a sodium explosion. I thought it was good if you eat around the fish. Pan fried string bean: 9/10 One of the better pan fried string beans I've had, and it even came with some sort of meat mince, which I wasn't expecting but was a cool surprise.

    Would prefer to grade 4.5 stars…read more Today we dine as usual and found the following dim sum n dishes are very outstanding:- A/ black seasame cake, steamed dessert B/ layered cake, steamed dessert The above two dim sum recalls the good old days when we were young - they were prepared and steamed by our neighbors chefs when the dim sum were in much larger size. C/ soya sauce chicken, cut Very tasty, delicious and not too salty. Highly recommend.

    Haven't been in this area for a while and met up with a friend for lunch while I was around…read more Arriving by 11:45am on a weekday is usually good although I did make a reservation. The place is kept up nicely, still clean and pleasant; and some decor seems relatively new. Ordered the usual shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, Rice Rolls with Beef, Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, and Egg Yolk Lava Buns. Also had a plate of Roasted Suckling Pig which is not available in too many dim sum restaurants. It's $32 for about eight pieces of crispy skin plus some meat and soy beans, a bit steep but delicious. Quality of their dim sum was still excellent. Service was average, as expected in a typical Cantonese restaurant. And 18% was automatically added as service charge. Food wise, It's probably still the best dim sum spot in the Bay Area.

    Love the dim sum, service could be improved - and the 18% added service charge is ridiculous…read more.. especially since I think the service should be improved. Again, the food is delicious - no complaints there. It is a large venue so maybe that is why the service is lacking, but it is difficult to get the attention of the servers when you need something. However, if you have a server that pays attention (and doesn't look annoyed that they are helping you), then it is a much more pleasant experience. But that rarely happens. So, if you are there for the food, order everything up front, and don't need anything else the rest of the time - then you will be fine. But also be prepared to try get the bill to pay, because that takes time too. Would I go back? Maybe.... maybe I will try take out.

During our dine-in, there were many to-go orders. Both claypot rice dishes are excellent: - Chicken with dried Mushrooms and Chinese Sausage with Preserved Meat Combo Clay Pot Rice 北菇滑雞及腊味煲仔饭 - Salted Fish with Pork Clay Pot Rice 咸魚肉片煲仔飯 There's crispy rice at the bottom of the clay pots. The toppings on the rice are good. I can even smell the fragrance from the salted fish. They don't allow this salted fish with pork to be a combo (due to salted fish flavor) and it has to be ordered as a standalone claypot. Soy sauce is served on the side. We ordered two bowls of soup: - Watercress Stewed with dried Duck Gizzard 西洋菜炖陳腎 - Sea Coconut And Pear Stewed Wpork 海底椰雪梨炖瘦肉 Both soup are delicious. They're served piping hot and very flavorful. Unlike most soup are very salty, their soup isn't salty at all and they are tasty. For the Choy Sum veggies, it's also good and the chicken soup is delicious. It came with some chicken meat inside too. Highly recommended and will definitely go back. Note: Bring cash or pay with Venmo. They don't take credit cards. They offer some type of membership (if you wish to join and prepay) for a discount. Ask them for details if you're interested.

The chicken with dried mushroom clay pot rice was well-done and the dish had its signature crispy rice at the bottom. The chicken soup with choy sum was a nice flavorful broth with a good amount of vegetables and chicken. The American ginseng stewed with black chicken also tasted good. The service was fast and responsive, but is good to note that this place no longer takes credit cards for dining in. The ambiance was simple and a bit bare.

    Came here on a Thursday evening with the family to celebrate another family member's upcoming…read morenuptials, and there were ten of us in the party that evening. This was a typical Cantonese style eatery where you would get together for family gatherings and/or to celebrate events. The decor had the usual elements that you would expect from such a place: crystal chandeliers, fish tanks, gold columns, and giant TV screens. We tried their 10-course banquet-style dinner that they were advertising for $488 (before tax) and I believe this special was only available on weekdays. Portion sizes were extremely generous, and they did not skimp on the ingredients either. The banquet courses included delicacies such as suckling pig, geoduck, whole fish, and lobster to name a few. This meal easily fed ten people, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was such a great value that towards the end of the evening the restaurant sold out of their banquet special. Overall, the food was pretty good...even though they did overcook the lobster. They have their own huge parking area, so it was super convenient. The dining area was very spacious. The service was casual and efficient. I went to dinner with no expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised. This place impressed my family that they even came back the next morning to try their dim sum.

    Can't go wrong with some classic dim sum!

Everything we ordered was good - there wasn't anything that I didn't like. The variety makes it especially fun when you're with a group since you can order a bunch of different things and share everything around the table. Also, the cart servers are truly superwomen/men! I'm not sure how they move those carts around so quickly lol. Definitely part of the fun of the whole dim sum experience.

    Haven't been here for a while and decided to meet up with a couple of friends for dim sum lunch…read more The place looked different from the last time I was there, some renovations must have been done. It's open and bright and not too noisy, quite comfortable for a dim sum restaurant. Food was still very good. We had Steamed Shrimp Dumplings 蝦餃, Siu Mai (Shrimp and Pork Dumplings) 燒賣, Steamed Bean Curd Rolls 鮮竹卷, Shanghai Dumplings 小籠包, Baked BBQ Pork Buns 焗义燒飽, Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls 鮮蝦腸粉, and Fried Taro and Meat Dumplings 峰巢竽角. Everything was well made and delicious. Food came out at a good pace. The standouts in my opinion were their Siu Mai and Fried Taro and Meat Dumplings. I am usually not a big Siu Mai fan but theirs were very tasty and juicy and fresh-tasting. They did a great job frying the Taro Dumplings. They were not greasy and the oil used seemed fresh. Service was very attentive, professional, and friendly especially because I've known our waiter Alex for over twenty years! Prices are fair for Bay Area standards. It's a solid dim sum spot.

My favorites were the shrimp dumplings (har gow) and the shrimp and pork dumplings (shumai.) I would definitely come back! For dim sum in general, I recommend going with a large party so you can try more things! Like I said, everything I had here was great I don't think you can go wrong with your order!
