They also might have the best spring rolls I've ever tried. Perfectly crispy and filled with a really tasty green cabbage, carrot and onion mixture. They have large dim sum style tables with a "lazy Susan" in the middle so it's a fun place to come with friends and order a few things off their dim sum menu to share.

How good can dim sum be all the way up in the north bay?!? Well apparently it's pretty good! As…read moresomeone who grew up in SF and frequently travel to HK, I feel like I know good dim sum when I see it and I was so surprised to find a restaurant that had it in Santa Rosa! We ordered: 1. Ha Gao: Good amount of shrimp and good flavor. However I think they put too much tapioca starch in their dough and it makes it too chewy. 2. Pan fried chive dumplings: Similar to the Ha gao, the flavor was excellent inside but the dough on the outside is too chewy and has too much tapioca starch but otherwise good and really big! 3. Siu Mai: Super delicious and generously sized. 4. Shrimp rolls: Delicious and fresh shrimp! 5. Sweet and sour pork: I loved this and it was one of the highlights even though it wasn't dim sum. The pork was super flavorful and crunchy. Loved that it came with veggies. 6. Seafood crunchy noodles: Delicious with perfectly crunchy noodles. Wish it had a bit more sauce but otherwise good amount of seafood! 7. Eggplant shrimp: Very nice soft eggplant with a good amount of shrimp inside! Overall, highly recommend this place. Is it as good as HK? no but is it way better than I expected and as good as most places in SF? YES! I'd rather come here by a long shot than drive all the way to SF to get dim sum. Ill definitely be back!

After church, we were craving dim sum and decided to try this place because of its high Yelp…read moreratings. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. We ordered shrimp dumplings with cilantro, shrimp dumplings, Siu Mai, shrimp and scallop dumplings, and deep-fried shrimp balls. The dumplings didn't taste fresh, and I noticed what appeared to be premade dumplings being taken from the refrigerator and reheated or refried. They also only offered white or red vinegar instead of the traditional Chinese black vinegar with ginger. To top it off, the dim sum was quite pricey at around $9 per order, which felt expensive considering the quality. Perhaps the positive reviews are more reflective of their $9 lunch specials, but based on our experience, the dim sum was underwhelming and not worth the price. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

Lily Kai is a really nice Chinese Restaurant in Petaluma's Adobe Creek Center. The high Yelp…read morerating is correct for a dine-in experience. Located on Lakeville Highway, just east of Hwy 101, it would make a good place to stop for a nice lunch or dinner. I was there on a warm Saturday, at around 11:30 am. The dining room has a contemporary asian decor. The AC kept the air cool and comfortable. There's several 2,4, and 6 seat tables. Just before lunchtime, the place was 1/3 full with customers. I was seated along the wall. I was offered a menu, and choice of hot tea or ice water. I asked for chopsticks, because the place setting had a fork. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch plate w/ fried rice. Also, I asked for an order of (Lightly Breaded) Fried Prawns. Service was excellent. My waiter was very attentive, and served my food as soon as it was ready. He told me if there were any delays. I didn't have to ask for anything. The Fried Prawns were large and plump. They were served with various sauces to choose from. The Mongolian Beef lunch plate had a nice presentation. The portion size was fair. The fried rice was moist, and blended well with the Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef was spicy and tasted just right. Hot 'n Sour soup came with the lunch plate. Lily Kai's recipe for hot 'n sour soup is a little different than what you might get in most other chinese restaurants. They make it with alot of mushrooms. The familiar flavor was there, but it lacked several expected ingredients. Well, as long as it tasted good, I'm okay with it. ----------------------------------------------- So I had a great first time experience here. The plaza has a free shared parking lot. There's a Starbucks Coffee shop in the same plaza. Also, this place is down the street from the Kaiser Medical Offices. Also, they have clean and large restrooms. Lily Kai is in the Adobe Creek Center at Lakeville Hwy & South McDowell Blvd.

We ate enough to not be hungry but didn't save our leftovers. :( The hot & sour soup, spring rolls and general's chicken all had odd/off flavors.

But that's not enough to overcome the disappointment of the other dishes.

The food is incredibly authentic, and the service is absolutely outstanding. I've already been here two weekends in a row! The first weekend, the selection was a little limited, but this weekend they added so many more dishes, which made the experience even better. And the weekend deal is honestly unbelievable--only $30 for all-you-can-eat dim sum, plus unlimited mimosas or house wine! You really can't beat that. It's surprisingly hard to find dim sum this authentic with service this friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. They also have Peking duck, which I haven't tried yet. That's definitely on my list for my next visit. I can't wait!

As a conneseur of fine, authentic Chinese food, the menu was very impressive. When you see chicken feet on the menu, you know it's authentic! In addition to the chicken feet, we also ordered the Peking duck, mapo tofu, and a few different types of dim sum. (Sorry I wasn't able to post any photos. But I did notice that the menu we saw had a little more than what other customers posted on Yelp.). Bottom line, the food was simply fantastic. Chef's kiss!!! Last, but not least, the staff is phenomenal. We were waited on by 3 different employees, each of whom gave impeccable service. Although all 3 were great, we have to give a special shout out to Jesse.

Ordering is simple -- you place your order at the counter first, and if you're dining in, they'll get a table ready for you afterward. The process felt organized and quick, which I appreciated since we were hungry. Once seated, the table was already stocked with chili oil, garlic sauce, and vinegar so you can mix your own dipping sauce to your liking. They also have disposable utensils available if you prefer, but they still provide regular plates, forks, and small sauce dishes, which made everything feel more comfortable for dining in. Our food came out pretty quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. We ordered the pork & shrimp siomai, shrimp hakau, and Shanghai chow mein with chicken. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and flavorful. The dumplings were juicy and well-seasoned, and the chow mein had a good balance of noodles, chicken, and seasoning without feeling greasy. Overall, this spot is a great option when you want a quick dim sum fix. We got really lucky and there was no wait when we came for lunch on a Sunday. The ordering process is easy, the food comes out fast, and the flavors definitely deliver. I'd come back again when the dim sum cravings hit.

One of the benefits of getting there early is getting a window seat to enjoy the bay views. By 11.15am the restaurant was pretty full. We checked off our dim-sum items on a paper menu at our table and handed it to the staff. Food arrived promptly and served hot. We ordered our regular favorite dim sum and the hi lights were the taro pudding dessert, the crispy vermicelli with pork ( must request vinegar) and the chicken paws. In general the dim Sum were a good size and tasted as expected. But the chicken and fish maw was dry and lacked flavor. The chicken were irregular in size and just did not look appetizing. It did come with a mushroom and fake crabmeat. Definitely had better elsewhere. Overall, a huge restaurant, with great views and ample variety of dim-sum to choose from. Staff were quick and efficient. They also have their own lot, so parking was easy.

We were lucky to find a parking spot right away but there seems to be ample parking since there are several lots in front but we did overhear someone did have to park "far away" which led them to have a long walk to meet their party. Waited about 30 minutes for a table for 6 and once seated, was given menus to mark what we'd like to order, was kind of disappointed to not see roaming carts with the exception of 2 serving Tofu Fa (a plus!) and some baked pork buns. With that said, since we have to put in menu orders with waiters, it does add to a little more lag time from the food getting delivered to the table and eating. If you end up ordering some of the fried stuff, there can be extended wait times as a lot of the stuff seems cook to order. Ended up order siu mai, har gow, shrimp rice noodle, and house special (Hong Kong style) pan fried noodle which were good and flavorful. HK noodle was above average and hit the spot; not the best, but is mine and my daughter's favorite dish when going for dim sum. Overall a solid dim sum place in the East Bay if you don't wanna make the trek to the City or Chinatown in Oakland. Food quality is good. Service was above average, our waiter would actually check in periodically and chatted with us. I've been to other places where the food was good but it impossible to ask for stuff and always seemed like a bother if you ask them for anything. They also give you pitchers of water for refills (smart) so you don't have to keep bothering them for refills.
