We came on a Monday at around 1pm, and there was about a 15 person line, but by the time we left it almost doubled that. We did come while the World Cup was happening, so I'm assuming a large chunk of that were tourists. We got the Pork Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling and Sesame Balls, and they're as good as I've had at restaurants, maybe even better! I definitely recommend the sesame balls, they were the perfect sweet treat! We were also hoping to get pot stickers but were told they were all out. Be patient and be ready to wait. Expect no frills, cheap eats and good food. Luckily, they accept apple pay as a good portion of places in Chinatown are cash only. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

San Francisco, you fancy as hell…read more My friend took me to this dim sum place the day I landed and wow, the food was so good. It's family style so you can share amongst each other and it's a bit expensive but come with a big group and it's so worth it. When you walk inside, it honestly is so beautiful. They have a table where the fish are swimming on it. They have a huge screen with art constantly changing. The aesthetic cannot be beat, even walking to the bathroom had a pretty cool hallway. Usually places with a gorgeous aesthetic like this I get concerned that the food is not gonna be good, but I've got to say I am pleasantly surprised that is not the case. The food was actually pretty fire and service was good. I would only go back with a big group because this is very much a collective family style experience. Gets 5 stars from me!

The skin does not break easily and its not hard/doughy. Solid 8/10 Pork Sui Mai - large and juicy and meaty. flavor is good and gets the cravings itch. 7.5/10 Radish Cake - Filling amount and good taste. I feel like it's missing the dried shrimp. 10/10 Ham Sui Gok - Super good! The footballs are made fresh and stays crispy on the outside but the thin interior is mochi texture. Filling was good enough (mostly air which is typical) for how big the ball was. Also the meat was seasoned really well and flavored the mochi breading.

I was able to get a walk-in table for dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant is pretty small,…read moreand the service was great. I will say, the restaurant felt a bit... drab. There was no music playing and it felt like everyone was whispering at their tables because it felt weird to talk at a normal volume. The interior design also does not match the quality/price of the food - I really think this place could use a redesign and new paint job... Anyway, the food overall was good, but definitely on the pricey side. We got two items off the seasonal menu - a spicy shrimp wonton starter, and the country fried rice. The wontons were good, but not spicy, and the fried rice was really good. It definitely could have used some chili oil on top, but was still good as it was served. The food also came out pretty quickly and was a great temperature. We also got the spicy string beans. They were alright, but not much better than any other dim sum restaurant's. Our total after tax & tip was about $100 for two people, with just two starters, one main dish, and a single beer. This definitely feels high for the quality/quantity of the food, but the great service helps makes up for this. I would say if this place got a redesign and lowered the prices a bit, it would be booked up every day.

Stopped by Palette Tea House with The Kid after FoodieLand thinking we were just coming for tea... and ended up having a full experience. We sat at the communal high-top table in the center of the restaurant, which has a small pond built into it with little goldfish and even a tiny rubber duck sitting on the rock formation -- such a cute detail and definitely adds to the ambiance. Our server Ken was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended the Iron Goddess tea, which ended up being excellent. The Kid ordered the Milk Aroma Oolong, which surprisingly tasted almost like milk tea even though it's just brewed tea. Each tea comes with its own kettle, and Ken even came back to refill the hot water for us. For food, we ordered the Wagyu Beef Fried Rice, which was a huge portion and easily shareable. Very flavorful and well prepared. We also tried the Sichuan Seafood Dumplings and the Iberico Pork Dumplings, both of which were delicious. One order is definitely enough to share. The dumplings come with several dipping sauces including soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, hot mustard, and a cilantro-based sauce that had a slightly sweet, horseradish-like flavor that really stood out. Service throughout the meal was amazing. Even without a reservation, we were seated immediately. As a Michelin-recognized restaurant for 2025, it definitely felt like a special treat and lived up to the experience.

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.
