Upping from 3 to 4 stars. Food was great. Fried rice still my favorite but the pork belly was close second. Chashu bao and har how are pretty standard, but good. Prawn rolls not my thing but not bad. Food's great but the service is still kind of slow.

Peking duck

Visited again, this time with a bigger group, which allowed us to try a lot more of the menu. We started with the Tri-Color Platter (Octopus, Jelly Fish & Green Seaweed Salad), which made for a great, refreshing starter. Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Roll, and Steamed Sparerib, all were good as usual. Half Peking Duck was a highlight, love the perfectly thin and crispy skin. Fried E-Fu Noodle with Lobster - the lobster is fresh and huge, great flavor without being overly salty nor greasy. Black Pepper Beef Fillet with Assorted Mushroom, I like the tender beef and the mushrooms were well seasoned. Sautéed Chinese Broccoli (kailan) with Dried Flounder Flake, the flavor was good, but the kailan stems were cut too large, difficult to eat. We finished with satisfying desserts, Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Bun was excellent with the lava effect. Mango Pomelo Sago was awesome, and the Snow Lotus Seed Peach Resin was really good and not too sweet. Everyone was full and happy.

This is our designated place for large-group gatherings. We've befriended the owner and some of the staff, so service was top notch. In general, their dim sum was better than dinner, but tonight's dishes are worth mentioning. The good: 1. steamed lobster with rice vermicelli: good flavor and fresh lobster. All lobster pieces were cut open, making it easy to eat. 2. beef steak with broccoli: the beef was so soft! The 0.5cm thickness makes it perfect size to bite down. 3. BBQ plate: loads of goodies, with my favorite cha siu, jelly fish, and pork belly cubes. 4. Soup with morel and chicken. Loads of morels! Could use a bit more salt but it's not that big a deal. The ones that could be improved: 1. small silver fish fried with egg yolk coating: a bit chewy, but good flavor. 2. sea cucumber stuffed with shrimp paste: indeed a hard to make dish at home, so we were all excited. But the sea cucumber was not well flavored; instead, it tasted quite fishy and earthy. Too bad this expensive dish was only half consumed. The bean sprouts at the bottom were a lot more desirable. 3. salt pepper chicken: it was seasoned with salt and pepper powder, but not cooked with salt at the pan, so the chicken lacks the heat and dryness from salt. At the night, a wedding reception was in place, but we were able to seat at the next room and enjoyed our noisy and loud cheers.

Crispy Fried Pork

We decided to try this dm sum place in Sunnyvale, located just off of 101 and Lawrence Expressway. It seems to be a well-liked place, as the tables were all filled within the first hour of opening. First of all, I agree with the previous reviews here stating that it is a hit or miss. We ordered a variety of items on our visit. Some were really tasty, others were merely "meh." The hits were Peking Duck (flavorful and tender meat) - I appreciate the addition of sliced cucumber sticks to the regular thin-sliced onions and sauce; the cucumbers added a delightful change of texture), the Salt & Pepper Sole w/ Black Bean sauce (large, flavorful and tender pieces of fish, onions that were cooked slightly longer to bring out their inherent sweetness), and the steamed broccoli (again, slightly longer cooking to bring out the flavor). What surprisingly did not work was the dim sum, as well as the chrysanthemum tea and rice. And the one thing that ruined what probably would have been some very tasty food was the strong taste of chlorine! This informs me that the water they use to steam and cook is water from the tap that is not filtered. I took one iOS of the chrysanthemum tea, relishing the what I thought was the strong chrysanthemum flavor, but after a few seconds it was apparent that the water was chlorinated. (I do not recommend ordering any tea or water here.) The steamed dim sum had the chlorinated smell and taste, as well as the rice, too! It is too bad, though, that the main flavor throughout was chlorine. I really lost my appetite for the rest of the meal. Regarding the order in which they bring out the food, they start from the top and proceed down the order list. I ordered rice, but it was down towards the bottom of the list, and it was the very last thing to arrive - after having eaten everything else we ordered above it! What a waste of rice! (Well, it smelled like chlorine, too, . . .). Before the wait person takes down your order, I highly suggest ordering the items you would like first, followed by everything else. If Sufu Wong Kitchen decides to invest in a quality water filtration system as other fine restaurants have (quite an expense, I will add), I am sure that the food will be so much more tasty and enjoyable (maybe even garnering another star or two . . .)

Had high expectations coming here but was a bit disappointed. Decent dim sum but nothing special. The chicken feet had great color and texture but the flavor was a bit bland. The siu mai didn't seem fresh as it was a little sour and the texture was hard (not scrumptious), ties went for both the pork and the shrimp inside. The lava bun did not 流, was more like a custard texture rather than melty and runny. The bbq pork puff pastry wasn't very flaky at all. The bean cured with pumpkin dish was rather interesting from the sounds of it so we got it, but it was super bland overall. The shrimp rice noodle was ok: scrumptious shrimp but the rice noodle itself was not as thin and smooth as it could be. My favorite dish was the stuffed eggplant of everything we ordered.

Chicken feet
Arthur T.

Decided to try out a new dim sum spot from the normal go-to. Two of us ordered: tea $2/pp fried taro dumpling $7.60, came pretty late mango pomelo sago $7.60, needed more sago siu mai $7.60 chicken feet $7.60 chinese tender green $17.60 deep fried pumpkin with salty egg yolk $12.60 Definitely on the pricier end. $18 for greens is a bit criminal. Pumpkin was a bit tasteless. No salted egg yolk flavor. Definitely nicer ambiance inside than other places. Plus that there's TVs so they may be playing sports when timing lines up! Parking lot onsite.

Sifu Wong Kitchen is a really solid addition to the South Bay dim sum scene. It's tucked inside the Ramada Hotel in Sunnyvale, and the setup is surprisingly nice--clean banquet seating, way less cramped than your usual dim sum spots, and they have huge TVs all over the place. We actually watched the World Cup final here and the atmosphere was awesome. The dim sum is traditional Hong Kong style, and the quality is definitely there. You definitely need to get the Black Gold Salty Egg Yolk Buns. They look cool with the black and gold style, and the molten salted egg yolk center is perfectly rich without being overly sweet. The Lychee Shrimp Balls are super unique too; they look exactly like real lychees on the outside but are stuffed with a snappy shrimp paste that isn't greasy at all. For the classic stuff, the Har Gaw and Siu Mai hit the spot--the skins hold up well without tearing and the pieces are nice and plump. The Baked BBQ Pork Buns are also great, with that crispy, sweet polo-style topping and a good amount of savory pork filling inside. Service can be a little slow on busy weekends since the place gets packed with families, but the staff keeps the kitchen moving as fast as they can. If you want high-quality Cantonese comfort food, excellent dim sum, and a great space to catch a game, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

Bookmarked on my wish list for awhile, but this weekend was the opportunity to dine in. Our mom wanted dim sum to celebrate Mother's Day, so our family came 1 day early. We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later.

Crispy calamari 5/5
Ngoc T.

This is my go-to spot for friend gatherings for dim sum, mainly because my best friend love their black sesame egg custard buns. Ironically, I'm not a fan of them myself--they're a bit too eggy for my taste. When it comes to dim sum quality and service, I honestly prefer Koi Palace. The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience.

Asahi beer
Amy N.

Came here for my cousin's birthday, but this was actually my second time here. The first time I came here was during the first year they opened and during brunch for dim sum. We ordered asahi beer, fried rice, sea bass, chicken feet, salt & petter prawns, hot & sour soup, and roasted pork belly. The asahi beer we ordered was fine, but we felt like we got the end of the draft keg or something because it was pretty bitter. I didn't mind the taste because I usually drink Heineken, but my boyfriend couldn't finish his beer by end of the meal. The first items to come out was the hot & sour soup, roasted pork belly and the chicken feet. I loved the hot & sour soup, but all the guys said it was way too sour than usual for them. The roasted pork belly wasn't as tender or fatty compared to other places we usually eat from. I do like that at least it came with hoisin sauce because although the pieces are in chunks, it could get overwhelming to consume. The chicken feet definitely had the black bean flavor, but could've been more flavorful. For some reason, it looked like the chicken feet is cut in half here when eating it. The salt & pepper prawns were decent. We wished that it came with sauce because it became too dry to eat overtime. The egg fried rice was surprisingly pretty good and a great addition to the sea bass we ordered. They were probably my favorite dishes along with the hot & sour soup. Glad I got to try this restaurant again years later. I feel like there are so many dim sum and Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, so it all comes down to democracy preferences and votes when eating out.

It's been a few years since my review and everything is as good as I remember with great service and delicious Cantonese food. The restaurant is connected to a hotel and it is large, clean and spacious. We were here for a banquet in a private room and I enjoyed all the dishes. My favorites were the Peking Duck, sautéed geoduck and steamed fish. So good!

Pineapple bun
Kristine S.

Still good dim sum but prices are definitely higher. Menu is getting longer but haven't tried the new items. I do like their har gow and sui mai and sticky rice with lotus leaf. Pan fried noodles with seafood is also delicious add on to the dim sum. Don't forget to ask for the yellow mustard. If you like spicy this is spicy. Small amount goes a long way.

Beef ball
Krajicek K.

Food: dim sum and lunch dishes were made when ordered so it came out warm. They were not sitting in a cart for a long time like some other places. Food were fresh and no msg! Service: a bit understaffed and slow. The restaurant were 80% full but there were only 3 wait staff managing all.

Anyway, having tried it, I can say it was good, but not so good that I'd expend that much energy to secure the reservation. Have to say, service was really great. Servers were attentive without being overbearing, which is always welcome. We ordered several dishes and dined, as they suggested, family style. To start, we were given two complimentary dishes, the roasted peanuts and the smashed cucumbers; both were nice appetizers. We ordered the Chiu Chow green beans, the Mongolian beef noodles, the claypot rice with lop cheung and bacon, the salt 'n peppa prawns, and the whole fried petrale sole, the last two being on the day's "specials" board. The winning dish was definitely the green beans. All the food was good, but seemed to be a bit overly salted and highly spiced. The piece of beef I had from the Mongolian beef noodles was tender, but one of my friends thought her piece was a bit tough and too chewy; we all thought the beef could have been cut into smaller or thinner pieces. We also shared two desserts since it was a birthday celebration (there are only three options offered). We had the red bean shaved ice and the mango pudding. Both were good (not "oh, boy, yummy" good, but good). Nice to try. The price wasn't outrageous ($200 including tax and tip), but I think this will be a "been there, done that" experience for me unless a friend absolutely wants to go again.

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!

I was surprised to read some reviewers saying they could make the same thing at home. I've had clay pot rice at other restaurants, and I've experienced greasy rice, burnt bottoms, undercooked rice, overly salty sauces, and stingy toppings. Fong Kee gets every part right. The rice has excellent texture, the bottom develops a crispy crust without being burnt, and the meat / toppings are well balanced with the rice. Everything comes together as one dish rather than tasting like the rice and toppings were prepared separately. Be sure to ask for the sauce they keep on the table-you can add as much or as little as you like. What impresses me most is the consistency. Every time I've been here, the clay pot rice has been cooked to the same high standard. To me, it reflects experience, skills, and attention to detail. For that, I give it 5 stars!

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.

For me, the Crispy Rice Noodle with Shrimp! These were purple for some reason... but SO DELICIOUS! Even with the donut inside, it wasn't soggy at all. The Beef Chowfun was also incredible and seasoned perfectly. My least favorites were the dumplings personally... the wrappers were just way too thick for my preference. So I would suggest anything else, especially the seafood!

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.
