Dim Sum Review It's not a very big restaurant, but everything is clean, and there's nice Chinese décor even before you walk inside. There were just two of us, and the staff asked if we were okay sharing a table with another family. Instead, they put us in the VIP room, which was very nice and spacious. It seems like the room is really meant for larger parties. We ordered the shrimp dumplings because we saw the dim sum chef making them as soon as we walked in. The shrimp dumplings were good--the wrapper was light, soft, and nicely made. The only exception was the rabbit-shaped dumpling, which had extra dough because of the shape, so the skin was understandably a little thicker. The siu mai was okay but not as good. It seemed like it had been reheated and was probably sitting for a while because it was dry. Unfortunately, the other family sharing the table also found a bone in their siu mai, so they had to send it back. After seeing that, I was a little scared to eat mine! The chicken feet had a different flavor from what I'm used to at other Cantonese dim sum restaurants. It had a fermented tofu taste. It wasn't bad, just different. The lychee shrimp was not what I expected. I thought it would actually look like a lychee, but it was more like shrimp dumplings with crispy fried noodles. Still, it was good and crispy, and the shrimp paste had a nice texture--not too soft. The xiao long bao was flavorful and the meat filling already had ginger inside. It didn't come with vinegar, though, and I think the vinegar would have made it even better. The beef chow fun was disappointing. The noodles didn't seem very fresh--they were sticking together and had a hard texture. The taro puff was the worst dish for me. It had a really bad taste and seemed old, almost like it was going bad. I couldn't finish it and definitely would not order it again. Overall, there were some good dishes, especially the shrimp dumplings and xiao long bao, but there were also quite a few disappointing ones. I'm not sure if we would come back again.
Favorites this time were the spicy won tons and fried rice. Beef was good but would try something different next time. Did not expect the signature shrimp to be fried. Busy place, an hour wait at 6:30 on a Friday night.
Treasure is an upscale, trendy restaurant located on El Camino Real in Belmont. They have a small parking lot in the back for customers, which is convenient. The menu isn't very extensive, so we decided to try a variety of dishes, including the Crispy Custard Egg Tarts, Triple Blessings Steamed Platter, Jade Black Sesame Bun, and a few of their popular dishes--the Jade Rabbit Shrimp Dumplings, Golden Silver Turnip Cake, and Shanghainese Pork Soup Dumplings. The Crispy Custard Egg Tarts were extremely sweet and not really to our liking. The Triple Blessings Steamed Platter was unique and a fun way to sample a little bit of everything. However, overall, none of the dishes really stood out to us. Everything was decent, but nothing left a lasting impression. Service was just okay. We were served water in plastic cups, which felt a little out of place for an upscale restaurant. We were also never asked what type of tea we wanted, which was surprising for a dim sum restaurant where tea is typically part of the dining experience. Overall, the service and dining experience didn't quite match the upscale atmosphere.
After all the mostly good reviews, I'd say the Peking duck was excellent but they forgot my soup which took forever to show up after I asked about it . They did not give us more duck condiments even though we asked . The beef in the beef chow fun was dry and tasteless. The garlic green beans were excellent . The soup noodles was blah . The beef brisket clay pot was good. We had a great server called Paco. There did not seem to be anyone else as attentive . So would I come back ? Yes n trust it will be better as the menu is definitely worth trying
Came back for the dry Hunan smoked pork belly with cauliflower and I felt like I liked it more the first time I tried it and I'm not sure why. Got a different green veggie dish (I forgot the name) that was bland, a dry tofu dish that was ok and chicken feet that was also ok. Didn't get the complimentary chrysanthemum jello this time. Ambiance is still great. But service was a bit slow for a late Thursday lunch.
For dim sum in the Peninsula everything was solid. I wouldn't say there was a standout dish for me but my friends thought it was good and would come back. Definitely a more trendy/upscale dim sum spot (think palette tea house) with unique flavors. Personally I think they did too much with the turnip cakes and prefer a more traditional flavor; my friends liked the Peking duck (although I prefer the skin crispier), and enjoyed the rabbit jello for its light and refreshing flavor. The basics like the honey glazed pork buns, siu mai, and har gow were all solid as well. On the plus service was good and presentation for the dishes was lovely
Came here for a birthday lunch. Never heard of this place, but glad I was introduced to it. The highlight was the fried ha-gao. Never seen this before, but I love the crunchiness of the skin and the seasoning on it 8.5/10. Peking duck was crispy and not dry and not super greasy 8/10. All the dumplings were decent and quite big. Inside is nice. Chairs are a little weird because the back is at a weird spot. The automatic lazy Susan is stupid and takes so long to come around.
Very good Chinese cuisine, with Cantonese, Sichuan, Northern & Southern dim sum offered. Peking Duck is their specialty here and it's carved table side. Nice decor, good service and free parking in their lot behind the building. We enjoyed the dry pot lotus root, the sautéed green beans with eggplant, and cumin lamb. Everything was prepared with quality ingredients. Not too oily and great flavors. The lamb was lean yet tender. We kept eating even when we felt full because the food was so good. If you want duck, you need to call them 24 hours in advance. Reservations recommended. We will be back to try more dishes.
(Hidden) Treasure! Came here hungry on a Saturday evening with the girlfriend. We called ahead and managed to get on the list for 6:30, which was a good call, as they were pretty busy. The food was great, we had the orange chicken and the stir fry green beans and eggplant from the regular menu, both of which were well portioned and delicious (we couldn't stop). We also got some dim sum: spicy wontons, pork/shrimp siu mai, shrimp hargow, and crab/pork soup dumplings. The dim sum was perfect, big size, and well filled (not just dough). We were also one of the few non-Asians there, if that tells you how authentic/delicious this is. Docking a star because we were mostly forgotten about and had to search out and flag someone down to take our first order, to ask for the dim sum menu, to take that dim sum order, to get boxes, and to get the check. There was no "how's your meal" or "can I get you anything else". I'd usually dock more for that, but the food made up for it.
Nice Chinese restaurant local place! Servers are really nice, as is the manager. We got to sit in one of the tables in the middle section and the lighting is really nice. Feels almost like a private room. Their private room seats more and I think there is a $1k minimum. Tried some new dishes today: the mapo tofu was a hit and the crispy chicken and ho fun with beef. We also really liked the egg custard tarts. The soup dumplings are not our favorite - almost no soup inside. Our new spot for family meals.
Belmont finally has the upscale Chinese dining spot it deserves, and Treasure absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, the space sets the tone -- a dramatic charred-wood feature wall with a sculptural pine tree, a stone foo dog, and a trickling water feature under the backlit "Treasure 中餐厅" logo. It feels more like a design-forward Hong Kong tea house than a strip-mall restaurant. We went for the dim sum tasting box and it was the clear highlight. A twelve-compartment wooden presentation arrived with lotus-leaf sticky rice, siu mai topped with tobiko, har gow, shrimp dumplings, sesame balls, a pillowy lotus-paste bun, crispy taro puffs, egg tarts, a golden baked BBQ pork bun (bolo bao style), and a beautifully crunchy rice-crusted shrimp ball. Each piece was visibly handmade and plated on its own ceramic dish with shiso leaves -- this is dim sum treated like kaiseki. The baked custard-topped pork bun deserves its own paragraph. The crust shattered into buttery golden crumbs with a taro-like filling that was sweet, savory, and not overly dense. The shrimp ball wrapped in red tobiko was another standout -- crisp, briny pop on the outside, juicy whole shrimp inside. The menu also leans into regional Sichuan and home-style dishes, with clearly marked spice levels (one or two chili icons) on items like Sour & Spicy Lotus Root Slices, Stir-Fried String Bean with Eggplant, and Sichuan-style Fish-Fragrant Eggplant with house garlic sauce. Seasonal greens include A-choy and yu choy sum, which is a nice touch you don't see at most American Chinese spots. Service was attentive, the tea service came in a lovely clay pot, and the pacing was perfect. Prices feel fair for the quality and artistry on the plate. If you're on the Peninsula and craving elevated dim sum or Chinese food that actually photographs as well as it tastes, Treasure is the move -- go now before the waits get unreasonable.
Treasure is an upscale Chinese restaurant on El Camino Real in the City of Belmont. Their menu offers dim sum, Cantonese cuisine, and various regional dishes. We were a party of 3 for lunch on a Wednesday. At 12-noon, the place was about 60-70% full, with plenty of 4 & 6 seat tables. They also have several round tables that seat up to 8. Also, a huge table is in a private dining room in the back. The interior is beautiful and elegant. There's colorful fish suspended from the ceiling. Also, you can watch them make dim sum thru a window. We looked over the lunch menu and the main menu, and ordered these items.... - Jade Shrimp Dumplings (4) - Custard Egg Tarts (3) - Golden-Silver Turnip Cakes (6) - Pork Soup Dumplings (6) - Jade Ribbon Noodles w/ Steamed Spare Ribs - Chinese Kale - House Chow Mein ------------------------------------ Total w/ tax= $90.81 All the food was good. The presentation was well done. The only dish that didn't seem right was the "Ribbon Noodles w/ Steamed Spare Ribs." It should be called "Steamed Spare Ribs on Ribbon Noodles." Because that's how it's served. It's a mountain of steamed riblets over a bed of ribbon noodles. So why 4-stars? There were some service issues. I believe our server was still in training. He brought the wrong dishes to our table, then seemed unsure of what to do. The manager came to our table and assured us that our dishes would be correct. There were no more problems after that. Overall, a good first time experience. It was nice to see this place and have a casual lunch. I would love to return and experience the dinner service. Great food quality and presentation. Free parking
Food was fantastic. I dont remember each of the items we ordered but I remember all of them being excellent. Worth a try but keep in mind its a bit pricey
A firm 2.5 star place but rounding up because of their service and ambience. Price point- overpriced considering the Peking duck ($88.88) was VERY bland, dry and tough. They took the duck frame to make an entree out of it and I chose the salt and pepper option and that was a mistake. The frame was deep fried, almost burnt, and I didn't see any salt and pepper. Such a waste! This is also not a traditional dim sum place because they don't serve a lot of the basic dim sums like the rice noodle. They also didn't have any chinese mustard. read more

Watch the review for "Treasure" on YouTube channel "THAT ONE DISH" https://youtu.be/eEXCP-Alh3c?si=wq1GCwmVtcNLHfTo This place is a Chinese restaurant treasure!! We had a feast Peking Duck was the show.... Nice flavor and the duck was so juicy!!! The whole Snapper Fish was really really good too. Now it might be weird to get Dim Sum at dinner but it was freshly made and was so yummy. The place was so elegant and beautiful. The decorative outside the restaurant was very creative and beautiful also. Outstanding service from the staff. Ken and Jimmy were great!!! We also got to meet the owner Mickey and her guest Chef Martin Yan!!! Overall Amazing!!! A Must Try!!! read more

This is close to my residence and I have been dying to go. The food was amazing! I didn't make a reservation but they are encouraged especially if you want the duck. Noted for next time. Found it interesting that their pea shoots were labeled "market price" but me and my friends love vegetables and it not disappoint! Will go back to try the lotus root. XLB was meaty and soupy! Many other dishes needed to be tried for next time. But the food was delicious and the decor was so nice! A big upgrade from the IHOP it used to be! read more
We went here for our mom's birthday and reserved the private room in the back. It was spacious, modern, and well able to fit the 15 of us without being too crowded. We reserved 2 Treasure Peking ducks full set ($88 each) and it was well worth it. The presentation of the duck cutting on the cart was phenomenal and the skin was crispy and meat was tender. Wrapped with the warm, thin pancake with scallion, hoisin, and cucumber, sprinkled with a bit of sugar. That's how we roll. They made a savory soup broth and deep fried the bone carcass in a sweet/spicy mala sauce (numbing effect so watch out), with the remaining duck. For dim sum here is what we ordered: Lychee Shaped Shrimp Balls: 6 for each order for $12.95 - very cute presentation as each were made to look like a lychee even the color was on point. The outside was super crispy rice like and soft and shrimp filling in the middle was moist. Golden Phoenix Crispy Dumplings: 3 for each order for $13.42. OMGEEE the birds are so cute! They shaped each order into mini birds. After biting into the crispy outside, you can taste the meaty gooey inside filling. Golden Baked BBQ Pork Bun 3 for each order for $8.95 - This was probably one of the best buns I've had in my life. The inside was soft and gooey, great ratio of meat to bun. The outside had a crispy, flaky sweet crust. Yum! Triple Blessing Steam Platter Come with chicken feet, tripe, and spareribs for $8.95. It's a little small but if you want a sampler of all this. Try it. Shanghainese Pork Soup Dumpling 6 for $10.95. The dumpling was very juicy and plump and biting into it you can taste the warm soup. Gold-Silver Shrimp & Pork Siu Mai 4 for $8.95. Super plump and yummy siu mai with a shrimp on top. Can go wrong with this. Honey Walnut Shrimp $20.95 for a large order. The shrimp were really large size and crispy and nicely fried in a sweet sauce with glazed walnuts. Pea Shoots in Superior Broth $26.95. This was a big order and really flavorful. Chongqing Numbing Spicy Chicken Wings $21.95. There's a lot of spice going on this. So if you like spice do it and try it. I didn't try it but everyone in my party said it wasn't too spicy! Service was great and we had finished most of the dishes! I would totally recommend to come back when you are looking for a nice place to eat peking duck and dim sum. read more
New year, new restaurant to try out, new post for 2026. This was a mixed feelings experience. What was good - nicely decorated and inviting space. I think we were lucky to be seated without a reservation as I overheard the host tell someone on the phone that they were booked for the next 2 hours. Ordered the popcorn chicken and greens beans for the regular menu. These were hits for the table. Also flavorful were the pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings. Here are the options that fell short - pork ribs in black bean sauce, soup dumplings - the flavor was fine but wasn't a fan of the thick wrapper, Siu Mai, jade rabbit shrimp dumplings aka har gow - cute presentation but the flavor was off and the wrapper mushy. Of note, a table near us order the Peking duck which was prepared table side by a chef and would be something to consider with a larger party. read more
Excellent place for upscale Chinese food, especially the delicious cooked duck! Busy on a Saturday at lunchtime, but we had pre-reserved the duck. The ambiance here is amazing from the moment you walk in, with koi fish papier-mache hanging from the ceilings, and the service matches that too. Our duck was sliced tableside and served on a special plate with sides and thin wrappers, and it was absolutely delicious. Our eggplant was great too, although I wish the skin was softer. Surprisingly, the dim sum was probably the weakest part of our meal, I would probably skip it next time. Great place for an upscale meal though! read more

We arrived on Father's day at 10am. The full menu was not available until 11am. Our daughter had a flight so we started with the dim sum menu. Baked BBQ pork buns... scrumptious, the rabbit ear har gow, Sui Mai, shrimp & chive buns, Jade ribbon noodles w,steam spare ribs, Amber glazed Phoenix claws (They have fancy names on the menu) and Lychee shrimp balls. The Lychee shrimp balls were delicious and so beautifullypresented. See the pictures. Near 11am we ordered a dry beef chow fun. It was fresh and good. This was our 1st visit but we will be back to try more of the dishes on their menu. Service is good, food was announced when delivered to the table. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. Watching other diners having the table side Peking duck carved makes us want to go back soon! read more

Came here on a Saturday night because my friend said he ordered the special Peking duck. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It definitely feels like an upscale Chinese restaurant that just opened. The furniture and the table settings to the dishes are definitely not your typical look at a Chinese restaurant. We ordered a decent amount to try on the menu since it was our first time. The Peking duck came with a little fire show, but in terms of taste I expected more flavor. I've had better Peking duck elsewhere, but I will say the skin was very crispy compared to other places. It reminded me of the Peking duck I had in Beijing in terms of presentation, but nothing compared to as flavor. The duck chip with caviar was probably my favorite dish of the night. It was either on top of a piece of square bread (I think that's what it was) or an avocado chip that looked like a Pringle. It was a bite sized flavor bomb with lots of texture. Everything else wasn't bad for what it is. Definitely on the spicy side so if you can't handle spice, I would suggest ordering non spicy or mild since the spice is more of a mala flavor that will numb your tongue. They have a great selection of high quality teas. I can't remember what we ordered but it was very refreshing. It definitely had a strong tea flavor. The tea was clean and bold in flavor without it being too overpowering. The service was great. The servers are well attentive and are very friendly. I would definitely come back for the service and food. However, compared to a typical Chinese restaurant, you don't get any Chinese desserts like the red bean soup or even orange slices that I'm used to after a Chinese meal. :( not a deal breaker but bummer haha read more

Love this new addition to Belmont! The ambiance is beautiful - inside and out. Kudos to the designer - we loved the large table partitions and koi on the ceiling. Even the tableware was very pretty - calming blue and earth tones. We came for dim sum at 2pm and were seated immediately. Note, last call is 2:30pm as they close at 3pm before reopening for dinner at 5pm. We enjoyed the vegetarian chow mein (it's not crispy style but excellent wok hey) and the pork chive potstickers. My parents said the bunny har gow were also good but they skin was too thick (same issue with the XLB). Presentation was pretty and flavors were good. I didn't find any dish amazing but nothing was bad either. I don't think they charge tea service fee and we noticed the final bill $72 before tip was very reasonable for 4 people! It is certainly excellent value taking into account the food quality, ambiance and service. They have good sized parking lot with free parking read more

Waited 20 mins for a table for 2 on a Sunday afternoon. I love how they have a large parking spot and the restaurant itself is spacious. They did make an effort with decorating the place. To start off tea is either going to be around $8-18, which is a bit high. We got one of the premium teas and it was just ok? The food was very average. Don't recommend the wonton soup. The Ho fun noodles and siu mai were ok. Will come back simply because it's quiet and you're able to actually have conversations with your party here. Also, you don't feel rushed. read more
I need this place to get more popular so they stay open! This is some of the best dim sum on the peninsula and it's super clean and new on the inside! Came on a Tuesday for lunch and there were a ton of open tables so got seated right away. The server was very polite and attentive. We got a bunch of items to try. Prices wise it's about average to slightly above average which honestly is sad to me how expensive dim sum has become. My favorites were the shrimp based ones! Lychee shrimp ball 5/5 I loved this dish (although steep pricing at $13). The presentation was impeccable and really does look like lychee. The shrimp is nicely seasoned and the crunch on the outside works perfectly with it. Def a must order! Har gow 4.5/5 Delicious and tasty and chocked full of shrimp. The skin was also not too thick. Siu Mai 5/5 Probably one of the best siu Mai I've ever had. Was super flavorful and full of meat and shrimp. Xlb 2/5 Do not get this. The meat isn't flavorful although it is juicy. Something with the seasoning and meat is off. The skin is also way too thick. Spareribs 3/5 These were just ok to me. Lacked some umami and the taro was steamed so much that you could barely tell it was taro. Potstickers 4/5 Well pan fried and had good flavor. Comes with black vinegar though. I like dipping with soy sauce and chili oil. Chicken feet 3/5 Expensive for what you get. This was ok chicken feet. Not that tasty and kinda seemed like reheated frozen ones but will work if you are craving it. Bbq pork buns 3.5/5 I really like the bun portion of this dish but the char siu wasn't savory enough and not enough filling. Hunan noodles 4.5/5 These were tasty although pretty expensive for the amount you get. It comes with spicy xo sauce that was delicious but be careful about how spicy it is! I liked all the different flavors and textures in the dish but the noodles were slightly overcooked. Would get again. Overall, I am all for more dim sum options. This place is good and I would stick to more shrimp based items. I want to come back to try their non dim sum items. I also am pretty happy that they have a private room with a table that can fit 15-20 people as I have a huge family!! read more
The food is sooo good; tasty and unique for some dishes. Service could be better - I think they are short staffed... My MIL first introduced Treasure to us by giving us the lotus sticky rice as take-out. And it was soooo tasty. They use different rice grains to make it; the rice is not mushy and the flavor is amazing - I think they also use some leftover duck to put in their rice. After tasting that, we knew we needed to go in person. Sticky rice was ordered again - still 10/10. We also got the duck - and they also give you a large broth made with the duck. Very tasty. Overall, we really like the dim sum here. Service-wise, it is sooo hard to flag someone down. I think they get a lot of business - both dine-in and take-out. The restaurant is beautifully done. Very modern oriental inside. More upscale appearance than a traditional dim sum restaurant. Great for families. Highly recommend to try; just be aware that service could be better when it gives the appearance of being on the fancier side. read more

The place is very nice and airy and the hostess was super nice. We got there at about 1230 today and she told us it would be about a 10 min wait. We got pretty lucky as everyone after us without a reservation was 30+ minutes! Our waiter was helpful in that anything I asked (like what's the diff between rabbit shrimp dumpling and regular - being that one is shaped like a bunny haha) took our order and repeated to make sure he didn't miss anything. But that was the last time we ever saw him (until it was check time). We had asked for forks and tea and we had to ask a few other people to please help us get them. As someone else mentioned the soup dumplings were definitely underwhelming - very little soup or flavor. Most of the stuff, except the steamed sampler (claw/tripe/ribs) actually felt a bit under seasoned. All in all - the food is alright but nothing stood out. The duck looked good - tho we didn't get it. read more
If I'm being honest, I'm actually a little scared to write this. I went back-and-forth about whether my family and I should gatekeep this place or not because it feels way too good to be true. This is hands-down the best dim sum I've had in the entire world and I am just salivating thinking about going back. There are no carts like traditional dim sum, which was disappointing for my family initially, but it was absolutely overridden by the fact that everything was presented so beautifully, so fresh, and fairly quickly too. The service was attentive and not overbearing, every single detail in the restaurant from the tables to the chairs to the decor are all just very well curated and every bite that you take, you can feel the love and the thoughtfulness that the chef put into creating in curating the flavor profiles. Treasure is truly a hidden jam, and I know that it won't be for long, and I just HOPE I can get a table next time I'm back in town to visit my mom! read more
In a rather unassuming building down on El Camino, you'll find hidden Treasure. While the exterior is rather basic minus the thoughtful and creative neon signs, the interior is elegant, modern, and upscale. You'd not expect this from this area. You'd be even more impressed if you knew this used to be an IHOP... The service was superb when we went. They were attentive and on top of things. All our food came in a timely manner. It appears other diners may have had a different experience though. The food was delicious and the portions were quite generous, making the higher price tag easier to swallow. While there may be better places for Peking duck, dumplings, and others in the area, overall most of what we had was good. Overall, this is a solid addition to the area and since it's a new restaurant, I'll round this up to 4.5 stars. read more

My favorite topic of conversation when out to dinner with friends -- what new restaurants we all want to try -- which is how I was introduced to Treasure. Although the restaurant was mostly empty an hour before they were due to close up for lunch, we stepped into a rather chaotic situation; our high-strung waiter informed us the dim sum chef had left for the day, but after we ordered our entrees, were told he was back & able to prepare those smaller dishes. As it turned out, dim sum was the weak spot on their menu. We ordered a handful -- jade shrimp dumplings (their name for har gow), baked bbq pork bun (with a sugary exterior), custard buns, Sichuan red oil wonton, pan-fried pork & chive potstickers -- & none held a candle to our favorite dim sum restaurants. Decent, but not worth re-ordering. On the other hand, our main dishes were very good, & we look forward to trying more from the main menu. Treasure Fried Rice with beef had a nice smoky flavor from the wok, & Chongqing Numbing Spicy Chicken (made with chicken breast) was oilier than other versions we've tried but was delicious, nonetheless. Hefty price tags to match their chic ambiance & quality ingredients. read more
We were excited to try this new spot but our first experience was not pleasant at all. First, we were told the wait would be 30 min but it ended up being an hour. Then after getting seated, we had to continually flag the server down for everything like ordering, water, getting the check, etc The server when serving tea also almost spilled hot water on me. One of our order was also wrong. The dim sum was generally tasty but they try to focus on presenting it nicely more than the taste itself. The decor was pretty cool inside, but that was the only novel aspect about this place. You can get much better cp值 elsewhere. read more

I'm a fan! Went for dinner and had a really memorable experience. The highlight was the whole crispy Peking duck, carved tableside and served 2-3 ways from a rolling cart. The service felt almost like a show--I caught myself just watching the servers expertly carve with their big knives, kind of like a Brazilian steakhouse experience. I was too busy enjoying it all to take photos! Definitely order the duck mini wraps and add the soup. One note: the fried duck option is chopped bone-in, which might not be for everyone, especially if you're not used to that style of preparation. We also loved the fried shrimp with walnuts, the sweet and sour chicken, and a clay pot dish (honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them). The vegetables, especially the green beans, were incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. Don't skip dessert--everything is beautifully presented. Think adorable jellies shaped like little baby rabbits or mango pudding molded to look like corn on the cob. Almost too cute to eat. read more
