Great food! Excellent flavor. Great selection. Friendly but good service. I got the combination rice which is half tomato sauce with fried pork, and half creamy sauce with fish. Definitely will come back. SERVICE (4/5): They're very friendly. They allowed for us to sit in the corner with less distractions because we had a service dog with us.The atmosphere is comfortable, and the food is absolutely amazing. I'm really glad we stopped by, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for lunch and tried different dishes. They have some specials of the day that you can add $2 for a drink. Wonton noodle was the special that day. It was ok. We also got Hainan chicken rice , baked combination and pineapple buns. Overall, food was ok. Nothing to write home about . Parking is terrible. Don't think I will come back if I don't need to. read more

We had just gotten back from Korea, got picked up from the airport, and basically headed straight here because we saw they had a special that day. It happened to be Wednesday, which meant wonton noodle soup, and of course we had to go for it! We came back on what felt like the hottest day of the year, and I don't think Stick & Steam had air conditioning. Honestly, totally understandable considering it's in Millbrae, but it definitely made the hot soup experience a little more intense. Now onto the food because the wonton noodle soup was SO good. The wontons were delicious, the noodles were great, and the broth was really comforting after a long flight. Definitely hit the spot and was exactly what I needed after traveling. I also love that they offer combos where you can add things like chicken wings, vegetables, and a drink for a small additional price. It's such a good option if you're looking to make your meal a little more filling without spending a ton. I'm really glad we stopped by, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. Their daily specials are such a fun idea, and now I'm curious to come back and try some of the other ones! read more

Stick & Steam showed up on my IG feed not long before I was about to depart on a brief visit to the Bay Area. It's a Hong Style cafe tucked in a corner of a Millbrae shopping plaza dominated by a car wash and an In-N-Out Burger. Very few of this type of business exist in my hometown so I came for a small snack after an evening event in an adjacent neighborhood. The dining room had fewer than ten tables for seating. What struck me when I walked in was the number of special menus that were available. They ranged from lunch combo specials, dinner combo specials, daily specials, afternoon tea set meals, and all-day dim sum. The advertising/marketing team had to be busy to come up with these offers. There was a Monday to Friday special between 5 and 9 pm in which you could pick any three unique dim sum items out of a set of ten choices for $12.95. I selected the Chicken Siu Mai, Beef Balls, and Fried Bean Curd Rolls for my order. Since I arrived near the closing time, I wonder if the kitchen was already winding down. It took longer than expected to prepare those items when there were just one or two parties left. Three pieces were in the siu mai steamer while the other steamers had two pieces each. Chicken siu mai is not a variety that we even have in SD which was why I picked it. The meat filling might be slightly healthier than the traditional pork & shrimp combination. My food was piping hot after waiting for it to arrive at my table. I found the quality to be average, but the value was very good. If I lived south of the city, then I would return and try other offerings from the main menu like the Hainan Chicken Rice, Baked Cutlet Pork Chop with Spaghetti, and the Braised Beef Wonton Noodle Soup. For the price and variety, I gave a four star rating for my experience at Stick & Steam. read more

I've tried this place years ago when the first opened and I didn't like it . I don't know what happened to my review but I decided to try them again and I still don't like them. And this time it was mainly for the hai man check and their menu . When you first walk in, you'll see the everyday special which had the Hainan Chicken advertised. When I sat down , they waitress said they don't have it on weekends. Then why does your banner say everyday?! I didn't brother arguing as I thought I saw it wrong but I doubt I did.. Anyways when the dish came the portion was deceiving because the bed of cabbage made it look more as it was under the.chicken. the Chicken itself was ok but my friends dish had more bone than meat. I did order their lemon tea and we split it in two cups. And I think besides the rice and lemon tea was the only thing that was good. I'm sorry but I will it not return for a dish that was deceiving. read more

This is a hard meh for us. Been here several times just because we wanted to support local small businesses. They have lowered their prices because their food just isn't competitive. Their teas are horrible. The worse being the lemon punch which is very bitter and has a lot of limes in it. Their milk tea is awful. Wonton soup is mediocre with very little noodles or wontons. Dim sum is frozen, they have a special where you get to choose a couple for under $20. Their porkchop rice is average but mostly overfried and needs more sauce and the rice is dry. Chow fun tastes likes like something from Panda Express. They keep changing their hours so be sure to make sure they're open especially between the hours of 2-5pm. Service is lame and the water is lukewarm without ice. They will not survive if they continue ok this path with all the better asian restaurants near by with competitive prices. read more

Stick & Steam - Meh - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

My family and I got a mix of food to share and every other item was a hit or miss. Worth coming back for: the hainan chicken with scallion sauce and the sizzling green beans. Both were incredibly tasty. The chicken was tender and the beans were crisp and fresh! Just OK: the typhoon shrimp fried rice, daikon, and the typhoon chicken wings. The rice barely had any shrimp, but at least the rice had some good seasoning on it so it was fine to eat by itself. The chicken wings and daikon were nothing special. Hard pass: the salted egg yolk fries were soggy and just had a very bland taste. Adding a bit of ketchup helped a bit, but I only could eat 2-3 fries. Speaking of ketchup, I think the red sauce in the baked pasta was a mix of ketchup and some tomatoes. Tasted sweet and artificial. Service was fine - you order from a QR code so they deliver the food to the table in a pretty timely manner. Maybe the dim sum would've been better if I ordered more of it. Maybe next time. read more

I'm very disappointed with my order today at Stick and Steam. My go to order is always the Salted Egg Yolk Fries and their Mango Aloe Green Tea. This month alone I've been there 3-4 times ordering the same thing. Today's order is different, or maybe because I never bothered to check before but while I was drinking the mango drink, I noticed something floating. This is not normal for this drink. I looked closely and saw what looked like a tiny egg or bean floating. I then looked at the bottom of the drink and saw another one. This drink is only supposed to have aloe and not another source of protein. I did use Google lens to identify what it is and the result is not what I wanted to see. I really like Stick and Steam but a contaminated drink was not wanted I wanted from them today. read more

The power was out at the place we wanted to eat at, so stopped here. Small place, very unassuming from curb. Inside was fairly busy. Observations: the tables were very sticky, yuck; ordering is via scan code and honestly we weren't sure we had done it right as we only ordered two items and sat for white awhile with no communication from the staff; food is pedestrian, in fact I believe it's what we buy at Costco and steam at home. I'm guessing those eating here were taking advantage of the daily special which looked to be a good deal. Can't recommend this place for any reason, sorry. read more

Stopped by here on a Friday night with some friends who were craving Hainanese Chicken. When we got to the restaurant, I remembered I had come here about a year ago, and the menu had totally been revamped, either that or it was the lunch menu. Anyways we got seated quickly, and I began with a nice cold beer and we started looking at the menu. We instantly had to get the baked pork chop w. Spaghetti as that was pretty much our childhood choice, going to HK style places. We grabbed some fried fish skin in salted egg yolk and fried chicken in salted egg yolk as we haven't had that before. Both were good. I definitely never had that chicken in salted egg yolk before but it seemed to work well. We got a half order of the Hainanese chicken, and that was delicious with the sauces provided. You can never go wrong with dim sum, so we got the sui mai, har gow, steamed pork ribs, and chicken feet. All were comparable to what you would get at a dim sum restaurant in the morning, but instead we had it at 8pm! Overall, the ambiance of the place is nice and quiet, with a few families eating out, and some college students enjoying a meal. The waiters would frequently stop by and refill our water cups whenever they were near empty, I probably would have got rice but my friends wanted spaghetti with the baked porkchop, overall a great place for a meal with dim sum too! read more

Please bring it back! Minus one star read more

Food 3.75/5 I recommend the hainan chicken series here! The chicken is soft and flavorful. Would not recommend the baked series, the fillet fish didn't taste fresh and the pasta wasn't flavorful. The wontons were good with lots of shrimp but the soup was just okay. We also got spareribs for dimsum but half of it was all taro, the xlb was okay not terrible. *they have afternoon sets which is a pretty good deal (1 entree + 1 drink) for $14 Service 4/5 Usual service here, nothing to complain about Ambiance 4/5 It's a little dark inside and not a ton of seating. But a great choice for late night munchies read more

Trying out a new spot, for us, and it was a pleasant surprise. The Hainan chicken was good and the soup that came with it was so flavorful! My husband really enjoyed his Sizzling Crispy Chicken Curry. He does wish the curry was a little bit spicier and thicker, but delicious nonetheless. Our friend's Combination Rice came with a drink with the special that is currently ongoing for only $19.99! The tables were a little sticky and the service was a little slow but the server did their best, and that's what matters. read more

My go to place for wontons! I don't know if it's because it's part of the Koi Palace group but their wontons are legit. Bouncy and lots of shrimp flavor!!!

First time visit dine in. Previously I had to go order. There are plenty item on the menu. I am craving for wonton noodle soup and hainam chicken rice and my friend suggested to have them here. Illegal order hainam chicken rice with scallion sauce, shrimp wonton noodle soup, drink, wasabi shrimp toast and salty egg fries. They are ok. The wonton is good but the noodle is a bit bland. The soup is light and ok. The hainam chicken rice is ok. I like the scallion sauce. It comes with dipping sauce and it is interesting. Wasabi shrimp toast is a bit hard. Overall they are ok. I don't like on suggested min 18% granularity where there is no much service at all. read more

A safe haven from the ridiculous lines at In and Out, consider this a viable alternative with an expansive menu. Har gow - nice portion size. They need to put soy sauce on the table, however. Green beans - plentiful and cooked just right - not too crunchy not too limpy. XLB - skippable. You can tell it's not made to order because the skin sticks to the little Foil wrapping Chicken Ginger soup Hearty and hits the spot even on a hot day. Or even better if you're feeling under the weather. The ginger aromas really pop out to enhance the dish. The kitchen closes at about 2:30 and they were nice to accommodate us and let us know ahead of time for last call,etc. That's all. read more

I found this place while waiting for someone at the airport. It's a very rainy day and the menu at this place looked amazing. I got here before the lunch rush and managed to be able to be seated and have my lunch within 10 minutes. The staff were very helpful in helping me make my choice. I have a very good table with good seating and the place is very clean. My food is delicious the beef and shrimp wonton soup with rice noodles has a very wonderful hearty stock. Lots of noodles. Nice chunks of beef and three shrimp wontons. They throw some green onions and a little vegetable in and it's the perfect rainy day meal. Super happy I found this place. Super thankful. It's very close to the airport in Millbrae. Great pitstop before I head home. Casual environment. Perfect for me for today I give it five stars. read more

Food is authentic Chinese mix of Cantonese, Shanghai and Sichuan, there are many more than just steamed dishes. Steam is an offshoot of the more formal Taipan on Waverley Street.

Stick & Steam - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

It's amazing that it's been six years since my 1st and only visit. We were planning to have lunch a few blocks away at the dumplings and noodle place but they were closed for a few days. Originally pivoting to another lunch rotation spot down the road on 101 South, I suggested coming here to minimize the travel time before our next errand. Arriving around 11:30 am, we were fortunate to park in a handicap space just a few steps away as my friend has a blue placard. There was no one at the greeting station at first but a young lady quickly asked us how many in our party. Noticing that my friend was using a walker, she offered the table nearest the iPad check in stand. We were given three menu sheets, one being a two-sided regular menu while the other two were specials. I liked that specials were offered and I noticed the menu was larger than I remember. I first tried the passion fruit aloe green tea (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=AGrAZEvwoZkfVNhBLolcDw) which came my the specials item that I ordered. It was on the sweet side so I waited for more of the ice to melt before drinking it. The flavors were good and the aloe and popping balls made this interesting. For my main meal, I had the baked cutlet pork chops rice w/ tomato sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=OGu_jsGze1Mb4WsXx9dNmw); I enjoyed this as it came on a bed of fried rice and the plate came out piping hot and the cheese was stretchy good. Besides our main meals, we shared some dim sum. We had the ha gao (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=0if_OKB0ufX3j2bks6pBuA) and the chicken claws w/ blank bean sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=9xCrxdbb-cLhHBrmeqABMA), both were excellent as i expected since this place is an offshoot of the famed Koi Palace group. The ha gao was slightly oversteamed as the skin on one of the two that I had stuck to the bamboo steamer. The claws (or chicken feet as I normally refer to them) were perfect as the collagen fell off the soft bones once I put mine in my mouth. My friend did not read the menu carefully when we ordered and pointed to the Hainan chicken rice noodles instead of the rice plate that she wanted. She still enjoyed it and I may try that on my next visit. I am glad that we stopped here as it saved on our travel time as we had a few more errands to run this afternoon. The two gals who helped us were efficient and helpful as we were in and out of the restaurant in less than an hour. The dining room was half full and stayed about the same with customers coming and going. I would return if in the neighborhood for a quick bite. Do note that parking can be challenging especially during peak times since In & Out is just a few paces away and their drive thru line flows towards here. read more

Stopped by here on a Wednesday afternoon and didn't have to wait too long :) Stick & Steam has a cozy ambience, like somewhere you would go if you wanted a home-y meal. I had two orders of the variety XLB's as well as the Egg Yolk Lava bun. Everything was so fresh and made to order! Loved the flavors of the XLB's and appreciate that the skin was the right balance of thickness. Staff members were also very attentive and polite. Will definitely stop by again :) read more

TLDR: Good Wings. Everything else mid To be honest, for a HK-style cafe, the food was ok. I've had the tomato pork chop rice everywhere in the bay... tastes the same. My wife thought the noodle soup was ok too. Nothing too special. I really liked the sweet and spicy wings though. It was very crunchy on the outside, and juicy inside. Not too spicy either. I didn't really enjoy the lettuce with Fermented Bean. It was just too salty. All in all, I just feel this was an okay HK restaurant. read more

Not good at all. Ordered the combination baked rice. The order came on to the table 5 minutes after I ordered. Pork cutlet and fish cutlet was deep fried but cold. The rice was lukewarm instead of hot. The jasmine green tea with crème I ordered was nasty. They put condensed milk to the drink. It just tastes off. Won't be back. read more

Stick & Steam - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

FLAVOR (3/5): Their beef chow fun was just okay, wouldn't say it's anything special beyond your typical. The hainanese chicken rice was good, chicken was juicy and rice was flavorful. The green beans had a good char to them it definitely needs to be paired with something. I would pass on the salted yolk fish skin, it's crispy but should be more of a snack than with your dinner meal. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (3/5): The plating of the food was fine and the restaurant is small but very tidy! SERVICE (4/5): Canto speaking folks running the business here and they're very friendly. They allowed for us to sit in the corner with less distractions because we had a service dog with us. When my mom was looking bathroom they were able to help guide her and told her to be careful when walking which I thought was super sweet towards the elders. TAKEAWAYS: Good pit stop if you're coming to and from SFO. They also seem to have frozen items for home if that's your cup of tea! read more

Followup as we visited again this past saturday. The only "Same" thing was the sizzling platter. Besides that, we got: the mala Hainan chicken: chilli oil has a good kick, but wish there was a better kick. Beef Stew and Wonton Ho Fun Noodle - Very clear broth and nice, wish they used flounder powder tho. noodles were al dente. Baked Pork Chop Spaghetti (originally rice but subbed)- flavorful, crunchy, hot (not cold lole some other reviews came), comes with a free drink (Lemon Punched Tea) Much more attentiveness and asssitance unlike last time. Portions are still decent! read more

My go-to Hong Kong café in Millbrae is usually Orchid Café, but this new spot popped up on my IG, so I decided to give it a try. I'd say this café is definitely comparable to Orchid Café! We ordered the pineapple bun, baked cutlet rice, and Typhoon shrimp fried rice. The pineapple bun was excellent -- soft and bouncy inside with a buttery, flaky crust. It paired really well with their Hong Kong milk tea. However, the milk tea was a bit too sweet and slightly watery for my taste. I prefer a stronger tea flavor with a silkier texture. The baked cutlet rice with curry sauce was flavorful and comforting, but the cutlet crust was a little soggy. If it had been crispy, it would have been perfect. The Typhoon shrimp fried rice was really good -- very aromatic, topped with crunchy Typhoon-style garlic, and it had great wok hei. I've heard their Hainanese chicken rice is also really good, so I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Looks like Orchid Café has some serious competition in Millbrae now read more

Came here specifically for dim sum and ordered the XLB trio, regular XLB, pork siu mai, pork ribs with black bean sauce, pan-fried dumplings, sizzling string beans, plus the deep-fried octopus and salted egg yolk fish skin. Starting with the XLB: they were decent and had a good amount of soup inside, but the wrappers were on the thicker side, which took away from that delicate texture you usually expect. The filling was mild and could have used more seasoning. The XLB trio was fun to sample for variety, but none of the flavors really stood out enough to be memorable. The pork siu mai were standard. Tender, but somewhat bland and forgettable. The pork ribs with black bean sauce were probably the highlight of the meal: nicely sauced, savory, and fairly tender. The pan fried dumplings had a good crispy bottom, though the filling itself was pretty basic. The sizzling string beans were garlicky and flavorful, but on the oily side. The deep-fried octopus had a nice crunch on the outside, but the inside was a bit chewy, and the seasoning was light. The salted egg yolk fish skin was rich and crispy, with that creamy-salty flavor you expect, but it became heavy after a few bites. Portion sizes were reasonable for dim sum, though some dishes felt a little pricey for the quality. Food came out at a steady pace. The space is modern and clean, but nothing especially cozy or standout. Overall, Stick & Steam is okay if you're nearby and craving dim sum, but it didn't leave a strong impression. I'd be open to coming back to try their traditional Hong Kong style selections, since those might be more in their wheelhouse. For now, a solid but average experience. read more

I got a social media post about daily dinner specials for under $20 and stopped in on a Tuesday to try the Hainan Chicken rice and a side for $14.99 + $3 side dish. I was going to take the order to go so I used a kiosk that was reserved for 2 Go orders. It was easy enough to use the kiosk and there were options to customize your order to take out onions or substitute noodles (rice/egg/flat). I decided to take out the daikon/carrot spicy salad that accompanied the meal because of a pepper allergy and ordered the lettuce with oyster sauce to make up for the loss of veggies. I also decided to try the dim sum special pick 3 for $12.99. It took about 20 minutes for the food to come out. I had high hopes for this place as I heard it was under the same ownership as Koi Palace. I was disappointed in the hainan chicken as it was bland, rubbery and there was a large bone in my drumstick even though the description said boneless. The rice didn't have much flavor as well as the cabbage. I had to use the sauces to help make the food more tasty. The romaine lettuce only included a few leaves and it appeared to be singed. It also had no aroma and the Oyster sauce just made it very salty. I liked the garlic, scallion oil the best. The soy mai was pretty small, 3 pieces and XLB was pretty mediocre as well. The kiosk advertised a point system to earn discounts and free food but I was told they hadn't set up the program yet. read more

Stick & Steam might be our favorite go-to restaurant for Hong Kong style meals. Their combination baked rice is my favorite dish of all! Perfect amount of sauce, crispy pork chop and fish fillet, with a good amount of cheese. It truly reminds me of home. Their beef chow fun has a lot of "wok hay" and it was not too oily. Service was quick and efficient. Manager was very friendly and polite. We got seated within 5 minutes when we arrived on a Friday early evening. Ambiance was bright and lively!

Stick & Steam - Premium Beef Chow Fun - Dim Sum Near Me - Millbrae, California

Stick & Steam is a small stylish Modern Asian eatery in Millbrae from the Koi Palace folks. We expect good food from this spot! It is next door to In and out burger and Panera. Have fun navigating the parking lot past their ever present drive in line. As close to a Cha Chan Teng that you will find around here. Picks: Hainan Chicken Rice Plate ($19.53) was good but not too big a portion. In 2025 we notice it getting even smaller, lots more cabbage. 3 types of dipping sauces. Chicken was cooked well, but needs the garlic ginger sauce, while the rice had good flavor. Still one of the best ones here. 8.5/10 Beef Chow Fun ($18.25) is of good portion size and cooked fine. Could use more meat. 8.5/10 Sesame balls ($6.50 for 3) are of good sized and slightly overfilled with brown filling. 8.5/10 HK Milk Tea cold ($5.95) is a perfect version. Not too sweet. 9/10 read more

Arrived around noon and the place was surprisingly busy. For the price and a quick meal it wasn't bad but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant wasn't too noisy but since it's small you probably can't sit around and enjoy your meal. It's more of a dash in and out kind of place. This is what we ordered: Ha gow 4/5: Came with 3 pieces. The skin was good and the shrimp tasted fresh. Not a huge dumpling but it wasn't bad for the price. Pork siu mai 3/5: Came with 3 pieces. The pork was pretty good but the sui mai looked so processed. Didn't like the look of it and the skin tasted too thick or processed or something that just threw it off. Sun suet geen (rolled tofu skin) 4/5: Only 2 of them. The filling wasn't bad but the gravy was a bit strong and salty. Chicken feet 4/5: 3 feet, nice and tender. Could have used some slices of jalepeno to give it that extra kick. Not bad for the price. Sampler XLB 3/5: 3 pieces. It was all right. Nothing special. The truffle was very slight, the crab had a few strands of crab. Okay if you just want to try different flavors but it wasn't amazing. XLB 5/5: 3 pieces. Probably a bit pricey for just 3 but it was nice and soupy. This was my favorite dish there but I would probably go somewhere else where I can get more for a better price point. Pork spareribs 1/5: This was the most disappointing as it was mainly taro root and not that many pieces of spare ribs. It was tender but didn't have that slight amount of oil to keep it moist so it was not smooth. Especially with all the taro which made it even more dry. Lava buns 3/5: Got 2 buns. It was nice and runny but the bun to lava ratio was more bread. It would have been better if there was more lava or less bun for a better balance. Considering we had 8 dishes and the cost was $42 without tip the price wasn't bad. However, you are getting smaller portions. Might be a good spot to try with the hubs since we don't eat as much but going with my son, we were both still a bit hungry after. Hahahah. Might come back and try it again with the hubs and see how it goes now that I know what to order. read more

Ordered salted egg yolk fries online for pick up and it was ready by the time we got to the restaurant (~10 minutes, even though it said 16-26 minutes). Upon opening the box, we noticed that there was a hair in the food. Fortunately we were still in the parking lot so we went back to notify them and they remade the order which took about ~5 minutes. Taste was fine, the fresh fries had a nice crunch compared to the initial order. read more

**PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!** Ordered UberEats on January 3rd, 2025. Seen an Instagram ad for this place. The ad looked very tempting and delicious. I thought to myself, why not give it a try? I did so, I saw it available for delivery on UberEats. Tried the food. Did not like any of it. I always always always get hainanese chicken from Chinese restaurants especially Chinatown. The flavor is unique and reminds me of my childhood. But unfortunately here at stick & steam it taste like absolute blandness and not even close to hainanese chicken. Very disappointing. I was really looking forward to the meal. The ginger scallion oil also smelled sour. I didn't even want to try it. I was super unhappy with my order. I will never return here ever again. The hainanese alone was so expensive but they only give you a few pieces?? Like 6 pieces... rice was also hard and very dry. HORRIBLE. Dim sum was okay. I also asked my lash tech if she liked the place after I tried it and she said no. She said it taste horrible and we're both Chinese. We know real Chinese food when we see it. read more

Small little shop tucked away behind the crowd of In-n-Out patrons. I don't see a lot of places make 焗豬扒飯 (baked pork chop rice) or at least that I'm familiar with but eating this is always nostalgic and brings me back to my late teens and early 20s. It's unassuming but at 5 pm on a random Monday, there's a good amount of eating. All elderly looking (& speaking) Chinese patrons which tells you that it's good! I got the combination rice which is half tomato sauce with fried pork, and half creamy sauce with fish. The tomato sauce is tangy and sweet which compliments the more rich creaminess of the white sauce. All of this is also topped over some melted cheese and rice that has peas, corn and mushrooms. The two contrasts pair nicely. Plenty of food to keep you full too. This dish btw is on the list where it's only $15 on Mondays - Fridays between 5 pm and 8 pm. My boyfriend got the hainan chicken rice plate and chicken was very moist and tender. Sauces complemented the chicken and rice well, and honestly solidly done. The dim sum I was most surprised by because it was SO good! Honestly probs one of the best Siu Mai & Ha Gow in the peninsula. Granted I only tried two of the dim sum options but it's definitely very good. Highly recommended that you get this and try. Definitely a place I'd come back for quick, simple, comfort Hong Kong cafe food! read more

Great food! Excellent flavor. Great selection. Friendly but understaffed service. Definitely will come back. BUT... SLOW. If you need to be in and out, go to in n out instead. Took 20minutes to get our first dish. Then our last dish came out almost an hour after sitting down. They're busy, food is good, but logistics does not mean speedy. So be forewarned if you need to go to SFO to catch a flight! read more

Came here on a whim as we were in the area and craving dim sum but didn't want to wait on a busy Saturday morning. We were seated promptly as soon as we arrived. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which is nice as we had our pup with us. We did not have high expectations for the dim sum here but I was pleasantly surprised to the quality and taste of the food. We ordered a bunch of dishes, green onion pancake (a daily special) , pan fried pork buns, ha gow, siu mai, bbq pork buns and a pork chop tomato rice. All of the dishes had good flavor, not amazing but for the price this was the perfect place to satisfy our craving. I did notice that they might be affiliated with koi palace as they sold frozen dim sum items that stated they were from koi palace. Overall would come back again! read more
