We went to Palette Tea Garden & Dim Sum to celebrate a friend's birthday. I had never been to San…read moreMateo, but I had heard great things about this place's sister restaurant Dragon Beaux in SF (although I have not yet tried it). We got the spicy beef tendon, chilled garlic cucumber, signature half Peking Duck with shaved black truffle, shredded Hainan chicken tacos, the truffle scallop garlic noodles, crab roe fried rice, garlic pea tendrils, sweet & sour kurobuta pork belly, and the honey walnut shrimp. We also had the custard dumplings, matcha milk pudding and mango pudding for dessert. Starting off with the appetizers, the spicy beef tendon was nicely chilled. The beef and noodles were sliced razor thin, creating a really nice texture and mouth feel. The beef was super tender and delicious. The chilled garlic cucumber had a nice snap and had a strong but not overwhelming garlic flavor. The Peking Duck with the shaved black truffle was excellent. The duck was super tender and the skin had been roasted to a nice crispness without being greasy. The Hainan chicken tacos were really flavorful and garlicky, and the chicken was really tender and flavorful. The truffle scallop garlic noodles were also excellent, and had a generous portion of scallops on top. The scallops were super tender and the noodles were cooked nicely with a nice springiness, and were very garlicky. The crab roe fried rice was also very good, and provided a nice pairing to match with some of the other more flavorful dishes. The garlic pea tendrils were also excellent. They were stir fried to perfection and the garlic provided a nice flavor to complement the natural bitterness of the pea tendrils. The sweet and sour pork belly and walnut shrimp were my favorite dishes of the meal. The sweet and sour pork was fried to perfection, and the sweet and sour sauce had a great flavor without feeling cloyingly sweet. It was also a nice touch to add the lychee, which I haven't seen before. The pineapple and peppers also provided flavor contrast and texture. The honey walnut shrimp was super interesting in that it also had strawberries, which I hadn't seen before. The shrimp was truly sublime and had a generous helping of walnuts and strawberries. I wouldn't have expected it, but the strawberries paired beautifully with the dish, providing another layer of flavor and increasing the complexity of the sweet/savory nature of the dish. The desserts were really fun and interesting. The custard dumplings were delicious, served nice and hot, and the custard had a nice richness and sweetness. The matcha milk puddings were really cute, although I only tried the mango pudding, which was really delicious. It had a nice mango flavor with a nice topping that provided textural contrast. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience. The food was phenomenal, but the service was even better. All of the staff were super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

There are a few dumpling places in downtown San Mateo, so I was curious to see how this restaurant…read morefared. I went on a Saturday at noon and there was just one couple dining; when I left, there were 4-5 more groups. The inside of the restaurant looked aesthetically pleasing. The bathroom was quite old but clean. One of the 2 dispensers was out of soap, which I had hoped they would check as part of the restaurant opening and closing procedures. Our waiter was very friendly throughout the meal and offered food suggestions for us to consider. Beef pancake roll - unique seasoning. I liked how they included shredded lettuce for that crunchy texture. It was wrapped in green onion pancake, so it was a bit oily and required some chewing. My dad didn't care for this. I initially thought this isn't bad but by the end of eating my half, I was ok not ordering this again. I think it's worth trying once. Beef stew noodle soup - beef was flavorful but I needed to chew it a bit, so if you have elderly loved ones with dentures, keep that in mind! Noodles were al dente. My mom didn't like how the portion is very small. Pork & crab meat XLB (Xiaolongbao, soup filled dumplings) - First thing I thought when the server placed the bamboo steamer down on the table was, 'wow, these are SO small'. But regardless, I could definitely taste the crab, and the broth was flavorful and plenty. If I were to dine here again, I would order this. Chicken & vegetable boiled wontons in chicken soup - The skin of the wontons was springy and unique. The broth had sesame oil but otherwise was pretty mild/bland. My mother liked the broth from the beef stew noodle soup more. Pan fried chive dumpling - contained egg, glass noodles, and a lot of garlic and chives. Very yummy and would get this again. Pork & shrimp potsticker - was juicy. The skin a little thick. They came with a tiny side of sweet, sour, spicy pickled veggies. I thought this dish was mediocre. High tail shrimp & pork steamed dumplings - The pork was dense, which wasn't necessarily bad. The dumpling was slightly juicy but wasn't broth-filled. My mom didn't care for this dish. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 3.5/5 but will round it up. My mom thought the food was quite mid and admitted it as such to the waiter after we paid the bill. I'm honestly not sure if I would return, given all the wonderful other cuisines/choices here in the downtown area - perhaps if I'm craving chive dumplings or crab dumplings again.

If you love views and aviation and dim sum, this is the place to go. Arrived around 9:20AM on a Saturday morning and there was no line. Keep in mind that if you do plan to celebrate a holiday, such as Mother's Day here, come EARLY. The lines will be long and you also want to ensure you get a parking spot. Parking can get really crazy and the spots are tight. I would not recommend driving a car in which you care if someone dings it. There is limited street parking outside but you will have to walk and jaywalk across a semi-busy street. My tip is to come early and park close to the PARKING LOT EXIT if you can, NOT the restaurant. If it's a crowded day, you'll thank me later. Anyways, parking lot aside, the food is pretty good. I would definitely get the Crispy BBQ pork bun. That one is always yummy. Other dishes are sort of up to your taste buds. The process is really easy with menus in which you mark what you want and then hand it over to one of the waiters/waitresses. Our food came out almost all at once with minimal wait. I think it was only quick because it was relatively not too busy at the time we were there which was 9:30AM-10:20AM.

We loved the pan fried dumplings cuz they used to be so juicy when you bit into them the juice would just squirt out and splash the person sitting across from you but this time the meat was tiny and not juicy at all! The bun was crispy but compare to before...2/5. If you've never had it when it was awesome, maybe a 3/5. Chicken cutlet on noodle 3/5: The noodle was a bit dry but the cutlet was good. Again, used to be better. Beef wrap 4/5: Actually I didn't eat this but hubs and DIL did and they both liked it. looked like a lot of beef but the end piece was a little skimpy. The service was great, the lady refilled our water and she was nice. It's still a tiny hole in the wall type place but down to earth. we'll prolly try one more time and see how it goes.

I've been going to Cheung Hing since its first location on Noriega, San Francisco. I have always…read morebeen a fan but this location is very disappointing to say the least. Got here about 11:50 am on a Friday. At first I was glad to see that it was taken over by the Cheung Hing name but oh boy was I wrong. Food - Very low grade dim-sum, maybe 2 stars. Steamed at least a day old as parts of the skin were hard and discolored. Reheat for sure. Service - It took 30 minutes for me to get my food. Wonton soup and a few dim-sum items. A party of 7 came in after me and was having a feast with lobster and noodles and a bunch of other items. If you want to be put in a bad mood on a Friday to start the weekend, come here and order togo and they will help you do just that! So frustrating sitting and waiting, while watching the chaotic dysfunction in this place. If you do not care for any of what I said above, by all mean, have at it. But if you're in a good mood, be careful eating here.

Both are delicious, note if someone has a peanut allergy. Beef with Longan - my favorite, it had a sweet and sour sauce, the beef is very tender, and I loved the longan in the stir fry! Green beans with fermented olives - nicely done, the person who ordered it liked the flavor and tender texture. Seafood and tofu clay pot - the shrimp and scallops were amazing in this dish. It's a little bit spicy but the person who ordered it liked it. Singapore noodles - very nicely done. Everyone liked this dish. We also tried one order of a soup special (steamed with meat and mushrooms), delicious recommendation by our server. And the meal includes a bean dessert soup (tong sui) at the end. Lovely meal!
