My second time here for lunch. There's no wait on a weekday last time. 3 of us came here on Saturday around noon, and had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn't bad at all. Even though their parking lot had a lot of cars, it's so big that there're still plenty of spaces. Their inside was huge as well. Because of the high ceiling, it didn't feel too crowded, even though it was packed. They had a lot of servers, too, though getting the attention of one took a while. Our server highly recommended their sea bass 2 ways (congee and chow fun) on their daily special menu. We would have ordered that if they still had fish at ~2lb, but they only had fish at ~3lb, which would be too big for us, as we would like to order some dim sum as well. So, we just ordered from their dim sum menu. The 2 different house teas we ordered came out pretty quickly, but it took a while for the food to come. The Sauteed Turnip Cake in XO Sauce was the dish I liked the most. It could still use more XO sauce, though. Pork & Crab Roe Siu Mai was gigantic; taste was normal. I wished they had chili sauce at the table. We're too busy catching up and didn't bother to flag down someone to get some. The Fried Bean Curd Skin Roll w/ Shrimp was not bad, just a bit oily. The Fried Chinese Donut Wrapped in Rice Noodle w/ Dried Shrimp was on point; it came with a peanut sauce on the side. The Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce were well cooked and off the bones. The Salted Egg Yolk Lava Black Bun wasn't too sweet; the inside was more runny than we expected. We're already stuffed after having 6 dim sum dishes. Overall, dim sum was solid, but on the more expensive side. While their service was typical for a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area, they did apply a 16% service charge to the bill automatically, which was stated on their menu. read more

Went to HL Peninsula, and it was aggressively packed! We came on a Sunday morning and waited over an hour and a half for a party of five, so come prepared. In my opinion, their system for waiting for tables is a bit chaotic. They do not ask for your phone number; instead, they print out a receipt with a number and call it out when your table is ready. There is a monitor inside the restaurant that you can watch, but since it's so crowded and the way the system is displayed on the screen, it's kind of hard to tell what is going on or what your status is. Service-wise, it's exactly what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant serving dim sum, if you know what I mean. :) Inside, the restaurant is very spacious and large, and I am assuming the reason for the long wait is that it's one of only two places to get dim sum in Milpitas (the other being Mayflower in the other highly packed plaza nearby). They do not serve dim sum with the traditional cart system where dishes are rolled around the dining room. Instead, you order from a menu and mark down how many quantities you want of each item. My family got a variety of dishes, but I'll call out some notable ones: * Their shu mai was juicy and packed with meat, probably one of the best shu mai I've had in the South Bay. * Their har gow skin broke apart really easily, which bummed me out, but it was generously stuffed with shrimp. * My favorite dish was their purple rice rolls. It was basically a Chinese donut stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in a purple glutinous rice roll. * The chicken feet were very balanced and not too sweet. * The truffle scallop dumpling had a rich mushroom flavor, and the scallop added a nice flavor profile. * The BBQ pork was coated well with the char siu sauce. It was tender and bold in flavor. Overall, my experience here was great, but I do not think it warranted more than a 30-minute wait. The food also came out a bit slowly in my opinion, but that was probably due to the high volume of people. read more

Cane here with a party of 3 for Father's Day, got quickly seated in a side room unfortunately rather than the main area where we could browse carts. We ordered our usual: shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, sui mai, salted fish and chicken fried rice, chicken feet. Unfortunately literally every dish came before the sui mai and shrimp dumplings (seriously? its the most popular dish). I'll start off with the good dishes because honestly there were so little, the two best dishes were the siu mai and chicken feet. The siu mai was hearty, flavors were good, and it was large. The chicken feet was cooked perfectly, texture was consistent throughout and the flavors were subtle and well seasoned. Now the fried rice was 25$, I really wanted this to be good. My honest description of it is ‍, the rice was well cooked, shards were fluffy and seasoned nicely yet that was it. The salted fish was rarely seen, youd only notice every 3 spoonfuls and the chicken was passable. Shrimp rice rolls and shrimp dumplings are my stable go tos, I've been eating these dishes since I was small. These two were a complete disappointment, the batter were both chewy and honestly felt TOO thick. Then it seemed like there was a batter of some sort on both shrimp fillings? This cause the shrimp to have bites that were EXTREMELY chewy, like why are rice rolls chewy??? Final bill was 150$ for mid food that came out late and poorly time. Would NOT come here again. read more

Not your traditional Hong Kong style dim sum place. The Resturant tries to emphasize higher quality dishes and adds in additional elements to "dress it up". It's fine if you're in to that but I was hoping for a back to basics place. Service was great; Resturant was clean; and food was good. Was pricey for a dim sum regular spot but is good for a one off experience. read more

Had a wonderful experience dining here for a weekend wedding! HL is part of an Asian plaza and has lots of parking. It's a grand space as expected for a Chinese restaurant. The service staff were fast and efficient in cleaning up finished plates and placing the apps and entrees of the set menu. The bartenders were great and friendly with the drink service. The venue has a dessert container with notable brands like Haagen-Dazs and melona bars. The whole restaurant was grand that can occupy a stage, projectors, and lots of fun lights. The food was a great set menu primary of seafood dishes like abalone, lobster noodles, seafood salad, and so much more. Great experience! read more

Came here with 11 people and bill came out to $355 with tip which is decent in this day and age. We ordered a lot of different dishes but they said they ran out of Chow fun so had to replace it with a different noodle dish but then ended up not brining it till we were done eating everything else. Some notes - The steamed dumpling skins tended to stick to each other and break while picking them up. The spare ribs were tender but a little bland. Needed black beans The shui mai are good but a little too fluffy which makes me think they have a lot of fat in them. The steamed rice rolls were nice. The gai lan was a bit fibrous and tough. The stir fried snow pea shoots with bean curd skin was a little bland. The durian puffs were good! read more

HL Peninsula Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

We usually come here with a big group and get a room reservation, then order the set menu. The restaurant is always bustling on weekends, so without a reservation, would definitely expect a wait time. The dim sum carts have large variety and are fresh and fast, but the set menu helps alleviate the chaos and the decision of having to pick what to get haha. The food gets delivered fast and is fresh. The set menu has a large variety of different foods, from meat like duck and sweet / sour chicken, to veggies like mushroom and snap peas, to seafood like fish and lobster and scallops, as well as soup and fried rice. The food is served in waves, so there's always a new dish on the table every 5-10 minutes. The portions are massive! We always have plenty of leftovers to last us the rest of the weekend. Everything is tasty and seasoned well. My personal favs are the fried pumpkin, lobster noodles, and scallops, although all dishes were hits. Will definitely be back for the next group gathering! read more

a really good dim sum place! the food always hits here esp the siu mai. i don't really love the almond shrimp balls, but all the main dishes of dim sum here are pretty decent. it's HUGE inside with beautiful interior of chandeliers, a huge projection screen, and tables are close knit together. not the best service but most dim sum places are on the same level of service lol. they're pretty quick after you order but i miss the ability of browsing carts during dim sum. this is a more modern dim sum place but it's always packed for a reason. super yummy! read more

* Visited on a Sunday with a party of 2- the wait was about 20 minutes Surprisingly, this was my first visit to HL Peninsula and I loved it. The portions are great and everything was tasty & delicious. The staff were quick to help us out and get our order in. I appreciate the fact that there was PLENTY of seating, and that the restaurant is quite spacious. OKAY THE FOOD: * Dim sum STAPLES - You can't go to dim sum and NOT GET SIU MAI. I wish I ordered more but we had ordered a good amount of other items to try. The siu mai was the perfect size too, not overly large or small. * Chicken feet with black bean sauce- 20/10. Loved it and loved the fact that it wasn't smothered in the sauce. * Turnip cake - I absolutely love a good fried turnip cake. It was seared great and tasted amazing. If a dim sum restaurant can't make a good turnip cake... you gotta go somewhere else. * XO Rolls - it was very tasty and cooked well! It was seasoned amazing and had the perfect sear to some rolls while maintaining its flavor. read more

Came here with two friends for dim sum on Saturday late morning to try out a new (to us) place. We made a reservation online to make things a little less painful since Saturday dim sum brunch time can get intense with crowds. When we arrived, I checked us in and we were seated right away. The space was gorgeous - spacious, bright, elegant, high ceilings, ginormous screens. They served us tea right away and left a menu on the table for us to fill out and order from. Since I was the lone Asian person at the table, I took the liberty of filling out our order. I placed the completed form at the edge of the table for the wait staff to pick up, after about 10 minutes of no one stopping by, I had to do the arm waving thing to flag someone down. I typically expect minimal to no customer service when going out for dim sum - it's just culturally expected. The food eventually slowly started to come out, a dish and basket at a time, but we had no sauces, so I had to get again flat someone down for some. Once we were settled with sauces, we were good. So. Try good, as a matter of fact. Each dish & basket was fresh, delicious, & left me excited for the next bite. I ordered the standard dim sum dishes, plus some. The steamed bbq pork bun was beautifully crafted & fluffy, moist, & delicious. The group favorite was the salted egg yolk lava bun - painted on top with a stroke of gold, when I broke open the bun, it yielded a delicious golden & sweet yolk that left everyone at the table with surprising delight. The food quality definitely made up for the poor service, but someday, I dream that there will be a dim sum restaurant experience that serves up both. read more

Personally, I've never craved dim sum but this meal changed that for me! The restaurant is definitely a more upscale dim sum spot. It's really large, bright, and very clean. The service is also pretty fast. However, because the restaurant is so large and is often packed especially on weekends, you'll probably have to ask your server more than once for something. Overall though, this is my family's new preferred spot for dim sum Dishes: - Pork belly with caviar: was super tender and juicy, basically melt in your mouth texture. However I was hoping the skin would be crispy like typical roast pork so I missed that. -Siu Mai: super plump, juicy, and flavorful! Typically I get bored of siu mai but this one was so good! - Glutinous rice dumpling: one's I've had in the past have been dense but this one was nice and light and the filling too salty - soy sauce noodles: this is my favorite childhood dim sum side but I felt this one was more wet, rather than the dry noodles I'm used to and prefer. I would still get it though since it's one of my favorite dishes. - shrimp noodle roll: overall it was okay. I will say tha the shrimps were HUGEEE which to most people would be great but personally it was a bit too much for me. read more

We attended a one-year-old birthday banquet for a friend's daughter and booked two tables in a private room for lunch. While the service was acceptable, the food quality was extremely disappointing and far below what you would expect from a high-end Chinese restaurant. The banquet had been reserved in advance, yet the restaurant still claimed that the double-boiled soup was not prepared and replaced it with fish maw soup instead. The biggest issue was that the soup was bland and tasteless. The rest of the dishes were also below standard, and we ended up leaving a lot of food unfinished. Considering the bill was around $2,000 including tips and tax, it was definitely not worth the price. read more

We came here on a Friday night to celebrate a graduation. The restaurant interior and decor is very modern and pretty. Plenty of private rooms to dine in, 2 humongous TV, and plenty to space esp for a wedding. Well, we reserved for a party of 24. Placed our order, but the food took a while to come out. It did not seem so busy for a Friday night around 7:30pm. There were plenty of tables available. When our first dish came out, it was the fish maw soup. Which is usually eaten with red vinegar and white pepper, but there was none on our table. We asked for white pepper 3x and no one brought it to us. The soup ended up being ao bland, the only bland dish for the night, because everything else we ordered are SALTY!!!!! SALTY! SALTY! SALTY! We ordered 2 of everything bc we had to 2 tables. Thefried shrimp, SALTY! Honey walnut shrimp, SALTY! Expensive lobster with noodle, SALTY! A few tofu dishes, SALTY! Clams were okay. I forgot what else we ordered, but it was SALTY! And I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Service was HORRIBLE!! I had to ask for water for 3 different people, I order in English and Chinese, and still nothing. The white pepper we asked showed up around the end of meal. I'm not sure if all the staff were new, but it was horrible service. Especially for a $1,000 meal, we want better service, just asking for the bare minimum. Will not be attending again. read more

Came here with some friends for a get together before the holiday. It's your typical Chinese restaurant service where it's not great but wasn't horrible either. It's a Saturday night so they had two weddings going on. They kept flashing the lights and volume is music was all over the place. The food was fairly decent. Nothing really out shined. I think this restaurant is known for the seafood which we did t really get much of. Might consider trying again... but maybe for their dim sum read more

I was genuinely shocked at how mediocre the food tasted considering HL's reputation. We had tried their banquet food during a friends wedding in October, and it was good then, so how did quality change so much in less than a year? My mom is pretty easygoing when it comes to Chinese food and even she thought it wasn't very good. I would never come back here of my own free will. This place might only be good for if you're desperate to get a dim sum fix and don't care too much about how good it actually tastes read more

Beautiful banquet hall frequently a consideration for hosting weddings and dinner parties yet also proficient in serving the staple dim sum during weekend brunch, HL Peninsula bolsters its presence in the Bay Area with this South East Bay location. Possibly overshadowed by its competition on the other side of the freeway, HL Peninsula is oftentimes forgotten for me but this time around, we attended a beautiful wedding hosted at the restaurant and it was amazing. Parking is abundant with its own dedicated lot and location is convenient for out of towners and locals as it's just blocks from the highway. The space is huge with high ceilings, great lighting, and comfortable seating arrangements. The food was certainly a highlight with presentable arrangements on display with solid ingredients making up the robust yet delicate dishes. Seafood is a strength here but so is there abundance of other proteins. Their roasted pig was just right in terms of fat to meat proportions and the crisp on the skin was decent. Peking duck was good but I'd prefer thinner pieces of meat. Sea bass was decadent per usual and cooked perfectly. Abalone with sea cucumber, a classic for many with exquisite tastes, was executed well here (clean, smooth texture in the sea cucumber and tender abalone). A new and fresh dish for me was their sea urchin fried rice. It was unique, however, cooked sea urchin just didn't have the same spark in flavor compared to its raw variety. The flavor was still great, but I had expected more of a kick from a dish involving uni. Pricing is as you'd expect - a little on the higher end, but for the quality you're getting, it's quite fair in my opinion. We have come here for dim sum once before and it was pretty comparable to similar places and the portions were, to me, industry standard. It's just incredibly busy and noisy. The staff were efficient and friendly - a lot of the folks here are veterans in the business and know how to ensure their customers enjoy a meal out. Overall, HL Peninsula is a strong option for banquet dinners as well as just a night out with solid, authentic Chinese cuisine that may include a healthy, balanced serving of proteins, vegetables, noodles and rice. Dim sum cravings may also be quelled here during their brunch hours but be early during those peak weekend times or else be prepared to wait! They have branches throughout the Bay Area so if this one's close by, check it out! I haven't been to any of the other locations yet but from what I've heard, the food can vary. We'll just have to see for ourselves next time! read more

So the food was delicious! Everything we ordered was good. The venue itself is beautiful and clean. My reason for giving this amount of stars is because that day we went there, they were hosting a wedding. It was so confusing! Everyone is lining up at the door and there weren't any indication where the other patrons were supposed to go to get a table if they weren't there for the wedding. They had five tables outside in a covered area and once the sun went down there were no lights. We had a dim candle light and it wasn't even romantic. I went in to use the restroom and i had to walk through the wedding reception and when i came back out the was trapped by lion dancers. Then i noticed that they had seatings inside that was sectioned for people who are not part of the wedding party. So why were we outside!? I feel like if you're hosting an event for a wedding there should be separate entrance for the wedding and the other patrons. Or if not close it out for the wedding only guest only. The food was good but pricey. I dont believe we will be back because of our experience... -Minus 1star for unorganized check in. -Minus 1star for making me walk through someone wedding reception and then getting trapped for going to the restroom. -Minus 1star for the horrible outside seating that i thought would have more lights, when there were indoor seatings! (luckily the food was good) read more

I have dined at all the H&L in the Bay Area since opening. For the most part (Dim Sum) authentic and many dishes maybe ordered off the menu if requested politely. Portions are meh for price point but quite tasty. One warning for our Yelpers, check your itemized bill for accuracy and tips (automatically included despite lack luster service). Yes it helps to order in Cantonese or Mandarin as staff (as expected are not well verse in the English). I will only revisit if no other options . read more

This is a huge restaurant inside. Big screens on either end of the dining area constantly putting on commercials of how they do weddings too (which makes sense) they have a lot of staff walking around but it seems like they have blinders on unless you just so happen to be waving the check in your hands. My parents and I made a game of it to see who could get the attention of one of the staff. Check in hand always works btw. Other than that, food was good. Nothing amazing. Just okay. Restaurant itself was clean. Just not very memorable besides the lackluster service. Cool teapot though. read more

HL Peninsula Restaurant - Dining room - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

recently visited this restaurant for the first time with a party of 13, and the experience was nothing short of frustrating. What should have been an enjoyable group dinner was ruined by some of the pushiest and most unprofessional service I've encountered. From the start, the waiter was relentlessly aggressive, trying to force us into the most expensive set dinner menu. Despite us telling him multiple times that we wanted to see the regular menu, he pressured us 6 or 7 times until we finally had to tell him how annoying it was. The most ridiculous part? He kept "joking" that the food we ordered wouldn't be enough. We ended up ordering 13 different dishes, and even then, we couldn't even finish everything on the table! It was clear the staff was more interested in padding the bill than ensuring we had a good meal. It is incredibly uncomfortable to be mocked for your order when you've already provided the restaurant with plenty of business. I felt disrespected as a customer and hounded for a higher spend. This restaurant is officially on my black list--I won't be returning to a place that prioritizes a "hard sell" over basic hospitality. read more

This is our first and last time to this restaurant - nine of us went there for a very meaningful gathering. I ordered about $1,000 of food including a Leopard coral grouper which costs around $300. They gave us a black Leopard coral grouper, claiming that we didn't specify the color of the fish. Fortunately my friend is a seafood expert and he told me immediately this is low quality. Lobster was clearly a dead recook. After cancelling the fish they quickly escorted us out of the restaurant without getting the residual food ready for take out. And they shamelessly included a 16% tip on the check. You are better off staying away from such a deceiving merchant. read more

Came here for dinner and... let's just say the vibes weren't it. There was a huge wedding banquet going on, which is fine, but even though the non-party side of the restaurant was half empty, we still got seated right next to the action. Translation: loud, nonstop background noise for the entire meal. When we asked our server for recommendations, every suggestion seemed to land on the priciest side of the menu. Not exactly the warm, thoughtful guidance we were hoping for. The food itself? Solid. But the service made it hard to relax and enjoy. No dim sum at dinner. That's half the reason I'd come here in the first place, so it was a bummer to learn it's lunch-only. Would I come back? Maybe for lunch, when dim sum is rolling and the energy feels right. But for dinner? Hmm I would pass. read more

I recently hosted my daughter's wedding dinner reception at HL Peninsula Restaurant in Milpitas, investing well over $80,000 for the evening. Given the scale of the event and the financial commitment, I expected a high standard of service and execution. Instead, the experience was profoundly disappointing and completely unacceptable. Several critical issues occurred throughout the evening: Subpar Food Quality & Mix-ups: Multiple courses arrived at the tables completely cold. Furthermore, we were missing several items that were explicitly ordered, and it became clear that we were served dishes intended for an entirely different reception. Negligent Management: When I brought these glaring errors to the manager's attention during the event, the response was dismissive. No immediate effort was made to rectify the situation, show accountability, or offer a meaningful resolution. Health and Safety Concerns: Most alarmingly, the day following the event, a significant number of our guests reported experiencing severe stomach pain and distress due to the food served. A coordinator or host spending this amount of money should be met with meticulous service and respect. Instead, our milestone celebration was marred by chaotic logistics, poor food handling, and a complete lack of management oversight. I cannot, under any circumstances, recommend HL Peninsula for weddings or large-scale catering events. Look at the photo attached of the Bao bun for the Peking Duck. It hard like a rock. read more

Came here for dim sum on a Saturday and there was no wait. We tried the Siu mai, hargow, steamed fish fillet, steamed BBQ buns, pan fried eggplant filled with shrimp paste, beef meatballs, chilled bean curd, and the pudding (rabbit shaped). My favorites were the eggplant with shrimp paste and the chilled bean curd. The flavors for these were so good! The Siu Mai, hargow, and beef meatballs were solid and tasty. The steamed BBQ buns were ok - not much BBQ meat and not as much flavor. The steamed fish fillet was pretty good - very soft (maybe a little too soggy texture for my liking). The pudding in a rabbit shape was super cute, although I didn't particularly like the flavor (coconut taste). Ambiance is nice and upscale, and service was fast. read more

Average dim sum tasting restaurant.... My mother wanted to eat dim sum here for her birthday because this place was recommended to her. We pull up on a Sunday around 12:30pm and it was busy but we didn't have to wait more than an hour thank god. When you arrive there you let them know and they give you a number to be seated. We waited about 30-40 minutes I'd say which isn't too bad considering this seems like a super popular dim sum restaurant on a weekend. Inside is big and super packed with lots of customers. They also have separate rooms with events. The ambiance is great! They have music playing and a super humongous screen advertising wedding events at the restaurant. The women's bathrooms here are also decently clean! Now let's go through the important part... the food! For some reason they gave us the desserts first and we ate that and I was starting to get kind of full waiting for the main entree and other savory dishes LOL * Lobster noodle: This is one of my fave main dishes that they have at dim sum restaurants. However, this tasted like a standard lobster noodle dish but I felt like it was kind of dull compared to my favorite childhood dim sum restaurant in Chinatown, SF. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was much more flavorful. I still recommend this if you like savory lobster and noodles in the garlic sauce they cook it in. * Steamed shrimp dumpling in ginseng broth: This tasted like a standard shrimp dumpling. No complaints about it. However I did not taste ginseng flavor at all in the broth. We also ordered the regular shrimp dumplings with no broth but I did not try that. I would get any of the shrimp dumplings trays if you like it. I just wished the broth had more of a strong ginseng flavor to enhance the dish more. * Fried red wine marinated oyster: Nothing special about this one at all. I would not get it again and it was underwhelming. They do give you a creamy white sauce to dip it in which made a bit better but it was just straight up fried oyster. * Steamed oyster with black bean sauce: I thought this one also tasted alright. I personally would not get this again. So far not a fan of how they cook their oyster here. * Pork spareribs in black bean sauce: This is another favorite of mines and it tasted great. Flavorful in the black bean sauce and the meat was cooked well. * Chicken feet with black bean sauce: This tasted like it lacked in flavor but I think it's because the sauce wasn't coated well all over the chicken feet. I recommend to keep dipping it with the sauce in the bottom of the plate. This one was average compared to other places. * Steamed beef tripes with ginger and scallion: This one was good and standard. The tripe is cooked well and had a good chew. * Shrimp rice noodle rolls: They were good but I would say the rice noodle itself could've been softer and pillowy. I do like that the shrimp they use are big. * Deep fried shrimp ball with almond slices: I was not a fan of the almond slices around the shrimp ball. I prefer it without the almond slices as I felt like it was too overwhelming and took away from the shrimp ball itself. I'm not sure if you can request them to make it without the almond slice? * Chilled and spicy chicken feet: I love white chicken feet. It was spicy indeed and good meat and cartilage. A good snack dish for me. Now for the desserts! * Mango piggy pudding: Not sure if they ran out of piggies because they came out as rabbits! It was an interesting chewy texture and the mango flavor is super mild!!!! Not too sweet at all which I like and only chose this dish because I thought it was cute. * Baked egg yolk lava bao: THESE ARE AMAZING! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THIS. The inside is sweet, slightly salty and buttery and creamy. This one was so good I was like WOW! * Pandan Flavor custard tart: The outer dough is flaky and the Pandan flavor is present but mild. This was good. They gave you jasmine tea to wash all this greasy filling food down! The service here is standard just like any other dim sum restaurant. They are quick and busy but complete any requests and are polite. They did forget the chilled and spicy chicken feet but not a problem with some communication! I don't think I would come here again unless I was really craving dim sum and was in the area and specifically for the Baked egg yolk lava Baos! My mother also thought it tasted average but liked how big and nice the place is to host celebrations! read more

3.5. Huge dim sum/Chinese food/wedding venue. It's humongous. The TV screen is huge, the biggest I've seen in a wedding venue. The ceiling is tall too. Looks like a great place for a 500 person Vietnamese or Chinese wedding. We came for the dim sum, no wait, but I think we had reservations. Service was definitely lacking and spotty, we think it's because they are so busy. We came on a Saturday. It was hard to get anything. No carts here. You order via menu and they bring everything to you. The first waiter guy tried to upsell us on some non dim sum items that was like $35 a plate. I was like no dude, we only want dim sum. We got all the usual dim sum. Shu mai, har gow, shrimp rolls, chicken feet, XLB, pork buns, and some other things. It was good, the dim sum was extra large. Stuffed with ingredients. We liked their food, just super hard to get some sort of service. And maybe they don't care because they auto grat to your bill. Overall, big place to grab some dim sum with a huge party. read more

I think Service here is very normal. For a dim sum place that is so much more expensive than others, i do expect better service. Not from the cart ladies, they actually went over and beyond to help me when i needed something, but the other people in sport coats just look to fill tables and collect checks. We were ONLY helped by cart ladies, extra water, napkins, extra chopsticks, sauce. Sport Coat only came to help with tea once and check.. pay the cart ladies more.. The ambiance is nice since its very much an upgraded dim sum place. You are reminded every 2 minutes that you can have your wedding here by the same advertisement. It looks like it can be a great banquet hall for a wedding and its for sure set up that way. I just might not be sure if the food and the waitstaff is on the same level.. The dim sum itself is somewhat unique. You wont find some of these in every dim sum place, but if you travel to at least 10 different places for dimsum, you will have had everything on this menu, this place just complies it to one place and puts a premium tag on it. Some of the things ordered didnt have much flavor.. i dont recommend getting regular dinner or lunch food, just the dim sum.. Other than that, if you wanna try different style of dim sum, give this a try, just prep your wallet read more

Came here for dim sum for the first time last Saturday & our party was already seated around 11 am with no wait. There were 6 of us and we ordered soo much food but definitely got all the main dim sum items. I liked their chicken feet, flavor was good & it wasn't dry or overcooked. I was bummed that they didn't have the fried shrimp ball in the wonton strips so maybe the closest thing was this fried shrimp ball that was covered in slivered almonds which came with a mayo sauce so it tasted similar to the walnut shrimp. We usually don't eat chow fun for lunch but we got their beef chow fun which was so good. Noodles were nice and chewy and it had great flavor. Their chili sauce wasn't that great for me, sort of bland compared to other places that's more of a paste which I personally like. The place is huge and it seems like it was a bit hard to flag down someone right away but other than that, staff was helpful. read more

It's best to dine here with a big group as the portion sizes are pretty big so you can only try multiple dishes if you come with a larger group size. There is plenty of parking in the complex. The service was pretty good. The servers were helpful in placing the order as it was my first time dining here. I would come back during lunch next time as they have a different menu for lunch/dinner and offer more variety of dumplings during lunch. There was no wait time for 7pm dinner for sunday. I had the house fried rice which was delicious and the quantity was huge. For dumplings I had the xiao long bao, pork and crab siu mai and the shrimp dumplings. All were amazing. Loved them. Shrimp dumplings were super fresh, pork in the xiao long bao and the siu mai was flavorful. The xiao long bao was pretty thick with not much soup inside. I will skip it for next time. read more

Food at dinner is amazing. A ton of space and you normally won't need reservations, even on weekends. Service isn't the best, but food more than makes up for it. My family have come here so many times already! Favorite dishes include the yuxiang eggplant with scallop, and the scallop and tofu with uni cream sauce. Amazing! read more

Took my dad here for lunch and overall had a great experience! The wait was short, which was a pleasant surprise given how busy some dim sum places can get. We ordered the clams, oysters, and pandan tarts--everything was fresh and delicious. The clams were especially flavorful, and the pandan tarts were a unique, tasty treat that stood out. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the oysters didn't have much taste--they were a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Ambience was clean and inviting, with a nice buzz of energy without being too loud. Service was fast, attentive, and friendly throughout. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially for a casual but quality lunch! read more

My first time dining at this expansive restaurant. Coming in, greeting with spacious, grand dining area with private rooms available on one side of the hall. Clean, bright and have two huge screens fir any sport events. Impressive. Service is prompt, efficient and friendly. But .... Instead of just one assigned person looking after our orders, there were few people that unfortunately didn't communicate well to the others. We felt like we were in a car dealership with bunches of sales person trying to make a sale / deal. Their intention might be good but we just felt overwhelmed and confused. Becareful, some of the pricing are in per lb !!!! A dish that you think is $25, could be $70 because $25/lb. So, read the menu carefully. The foods are very good , flavorful and well cooked. Portion is average. We didn't try the Dim Sum. May be one day. Overall, a great restaurant. read more

Went here one day in December - disclaimer, Chinese banquet style restaurants get packed for end of year gatherings. Tonight was especially crowded due to a wedding banquet taking place for a newly wed couple. But the service was still nice. The only part that irked me was that my very hungry husband whom over orders especially in this state, ordered a long list with only two adults and two small children. The waitress, I expect for them to say, that seems a bit too much. But the waitress kept on egging him on to order more and more. What's more is that our whole family is now sick. It seems like something was spoiled. The whole family who was fine during breakfast and lunch when we cooked homemade meals, instantly had the runnies almost as soon as we got home. The ambiance is somewhat on the dressier side. So you can dress up. The pricier $$$ reflects this as well. read more
