    Dim sum, fine Chinese dining, banquets, you name it - Harbor Bay is your one stop for high quality authentic Chinese cuisine with moderate prices. Although this place has changed names a few times, one this is consistent, it's always busy during dim sum! We rarely come due to the crowds nowadays and instead we dine during the not so busy dinner hours during the weekdays. The food is delicious and the service is pretty good during the non-peak time. The parking lot can get tremendously busy during lunch hours but if you're willing to walk a little, you'll find a spot. Getting a table in the crowded restaurant is a whole different thing. Be prepared to wait during the peak times or come early before the rush or later for the evening meals. It gets loud in here when it's packed so be prepared to not be able to have any intimate conversations (or really any conversations). If you're here for dim sum, they'll have your favorites and a few perhaps that may be new to you. The food is hot and lip smacking good when it comes out of the carts or the kitchen. Do share so you can try a few different things. As with prices for dining out rising to such high levels nowadays, dim sum is also affected and well, you don't quite get as full anymore. However, do consider ordering a noodle or rice dish out of the kitchen as they're delicious, easily shareable and a bit more economical. Now if you're here for some prix fixe dinner, you're in for a treat. They have many levels depending on the quality of dishes and number of people you're looking to feed. Any of the sets are good but if there are certain seafood items like lobster or crab that you're looking to eat or perhaps looking to cut the price down a bit, see if they can substitute or make some accommodations to fit your request. They do a great job with their vegetables so if you're looking for some greens or fungi, you'll have many options! Their meats and seafood are exceptional as well, but it can get filling so consider pacing yourself. Overall, Harbor Bay has been a staple for us when it comes to better quality Chinese food and if we're looking to feed a big party. We are definitely regulars and have had great experiences each time we come out. Just be mindful that when it gets busy, it gets chaotic as with most other places.

    Ok. So we have come now 3 times under the new management. It looks like the best experience is to come early. This time we came for dinner at 5:45pm and service was great! Everything was clean and the bathrooms were pretty good. The floors were clean. And the food was excellent. The crab and fish maw soup was lovely. And the Peking duck was just lovely. The first time we came it was about like this time, so I am modifying my rating as this is back to quite a good place. No dim sum in the evenings though. But the staff remembered us, and wished us Merry Christmas. We will be back! Nice management and great food!

    This location has NOT closed! We were just there today, meeting my sister and brother-in-law for an early dim sum lunch at 11:15 am. It's good to get there early as the parking lot can get crowded as other businesses are also in this shopping mall. There was no waiting for a table and this is the second time hubby and I have come here with my sister and bil. There are many carts strolling around with delectable steamed hot baskets of dim sum. You can also order on a printed list what you would like. We had shrimp dumplings, pork dumpling, beef rice noodle roll, shrimp rice noodle roll, chicken feet, lop cheung bun, steamed pork bun, soya noodles, steamed spareribs, bean curd roll, fried sesame ball as well as egg custard tart. Everything was steaming hot and I especially enjoyed the crispy fried sesame ball and egg custard tart. Come early if you arrive on the weekend as it can get busy by noon! Service was manageable as it got busy as time went on.

    Every time when my daughter came home from school, she must go to this restaurant for dimsum, to her it's much better than any restaurant in NY. The food here has been always excellent, and the prices are quite reasonable. Our favorite dishes are chicken feet, beef tripes, meatballs, xiu mai, beef rice crepes, taro crispy cake, tofu wraps. All the dishes seasoning and cooked just right and tasty. The service is quick and attentive as always. Now the service charge of 15% is added automatically, so no need to add more.

    3.5 stars Fairly large spacious space Usually packed for dimsum lunch. Fairly empty for Sunday dinner around 7:15pm. A few parties at big round tables for family / birthday dinner. Tried 4 dishes, combo BBQ platter (medium size includes bbq duck, bbq pork, and green seaweed (odd combo). Seafood clay pot Braised beef with mushroom, string bean Mixed veggies Rice is $2.50/bowl Complementary red bean soup (legit, had the orange peel flavor). Total $116 w tax and tip (they automatically include tip in bill) All dishes are on sweet side and bit saucey. Standard Canto fare. I requested for no MSG to be added which looks like they followed through. Sunday dinner closes at 8:30pm (Google needs to be updated)

    Located in the Newark shopping center, off of Newark Blvd, next to Ranch 99. I would say an authentic Asian Dim sum restaurant. Went here for a large gathering which they handled very well. Tables set for 10 people with the lazy Susan wheel in the middle. Nice amount of space in between to move around each other. I've been to some restaurants where you feel claustrophobic. Food came out one by one as dishes were prepared fresh. Being Filipino we were looking for the rice first to eat with our meals. It was served last which was unusual for us & we were so full by that time. #gluttony I know we could have asked for it but we went through the flow of what the hostess prepared. Overall was an ok dining experience. Not my preference but enjoyed for a friend's gathering.

    This used to be one of our favorite dim sum restaurants for Cantonese dim sum . I was sad when I heard that was closed down one month ago . Now I heard it is re opened with new management. I went there for dim sum lunch twice already this week . The lunch menu looks the same and we have tried some popular dim sum . I like to recommend the steam beef balls . It is tasty and giant size beef balls . The rice noodle roll ( cheung fun ) with chicken and bitter melon is special. You cannot get that in many places. They have changed the color of their tables and chair to a Royal golden color . They have fixed the wires by the entrance of the restroom. Inside the restroom floor is very clean and dry, a big improvement compared to before . They don't make you pay 18 % tips anymore like before . And you have a choice to bring your own tea ... they would provide free boiling water in a tea pot . Those are good gestures. Most of the mandarin speaking host and waiters are very polite and friendly . Today we have encountered a Cantonese speaking man ( older and short ) at lunch . He over charged us one item and he did not apologize after we asked him to correct it . Dim sum tastes good overall . We shall return soon .

    TLDR: Pretty good dim sum! It's better than most dim sum in the Bay Area. It's just too bad it's a bit far for me. Went on a Friday around 1:30... not crowded at all. The place is old. I've been here at least twice before, once for dinner even. I remember liking this place, but always the same downside... "it's too far". But now that I think about it, it's probably a good thing it's so far from me, otherwise I'd be fat from eating here so often. It's pretty much a typical seafood restaurant, if you know what that means. Again, it's old and a bit dingy, if I'm being honest. It's not like those new-ish places like New Dynasty or Pearl. It's got the same vibe as Saigon Restaurant in Santa Clara. But with tastier dim sum. Everything here tastes good, and yet, everything is slllightly off from a "normal dim sum". Take for example, their donut wrapped in Rice Dough... (Ja Leung). Most places it's white wrapped around a brown donut. Here the skin is pink. Why? I don't know! Does it change the taste? Not really. The dough is a bit thicker maybe? But the inside was super crunchy, which I really like. So maybe the pink wrapper does a better job protecting the donut.... Hrm... Well, we also ordered my favorites... Lotus wrapped sticky rice... again a bit strange taste, but still good. Maybe a little too much mushroom? But I do like how when I unwrap it, it slides off the leaves very easily. I hate when the rice sticks to the leaf... I feel like it's a waste of rice. Overall, and my wife, who is from HK, agrees... most of the dim sum was pretty good. The price is a bit on the high side unfortunately... With tax and tip, it came out to be around $9 per dish. Oh, and one thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is, that even with just 2 of us, they STILL charged us a "mandatory" 15% service fee! That is quite outrageous, and I'm not familiar enough with the law to try to dispute it. But anyway, be careful you don't overtip them!

    Salted pork knuckles

    Had dinner here with friends in this spacious ornate restaurant. All the chairs in the restaurant had fancy covers that are usually reserved for banquets. I personally don't like the look, as it makes the place look dated and stuffy. My friend ordered dishes that were recommended by her sister who had dined here a few times. I really liked the Empress chicken, the oong choy, the braised pork belly, and the Salted pork knuckles (a new dish for me!). We had a beef/asparagus fried rice that was kinda meh. There were 3 men "overseers" who seemed intent on supervising the waitresses. But they also helped get our pot of tea and helped clear some dishes. It wasn't very busy when we got there at 5:30, but when we left at 7, they had quite a few patrons. Service was great. No complaints. Portions were good. Taste was good. I'd come again.

    Classic dim sum spot where they push around the carts. Gets very busy so try to come before 12pm. Service is hit or miss. Taste and quality is solid. Prices are pretty good.

    This place has gone through many ownership changes, but regardless of that, it has been a staple for our family outings. We always come here for dim sum and Chinese food, and the dishes are consistently tasty. While some items on the menu may not be the best, the variety is extensive, and many options are delicious, so you're bound to find something you like. The service here has always been good, though that might be because my relatives know some people here. The ambiance is like that of a typical dim sum restaurant.

    Came here to celebrate Chinese New Year with the fam today! I think it was called Saigon Seafood Harbor before, so not sure if they changed owners. We got here at 10:30am and didn't have to wait, which I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant itself is very spacious with lots of tables. We didn't need to choose what we wanted on the menu since the food carts were out today. We got a number of favorite dim sum items: shrimp and pork siu mai, steamed chicken feet, har gow, pan fried shrimp and chives dumpling, pig blood curd. No complaints with the food because everything was delicious!! I'm not a huge fan of dim sum, but I would definitely recommend this spot for those who are. Big perk is that you don't have to wait long to get seated like most places.

    So disappointed with their quality of food... can't believe they served the over fried taro puff and durian cream puff to customer. The beef rice noodle roll was blended. Hopefully they will improve their food quality.

Pearl Bay has high ceilings and a gigantic screen, and it seems like a lot of wedding banquets take place here. They have a hot deal weekday special that's $488 for a table of 10-12, and it was a lot of food. I think they limit it to a few tables a night. Service was not bad - they refilled ice water multiple times, which was surprising for a Chinese restaurant. That said, it would have been nice if they had actually announced what dishes we were getting. The menu included: - Chicken soup - Stir fried beef with vegetables - Cold marinated chicken and geoduck - Fish maw with pea sprouts and shiitakes - Fried egg tofu - Steamed fish - Twin lobsters with vermicelli - Suckling pig with steamed buns - Fried rice The highlight was the fish roe fried rice: great texture and flavor. Other things were variable in flavor. For example, the lobster was good, but the vermicelli texture and flavor were lacking. The banquet menu we got was good value and was more than enough food. I am definitely interested in trying their weekend dim sum.

The dining room is on the smaller side, but it's not cramped--it's clean, comfortable, and well organized. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The House Special Pan Fried Chow Mein had perfectly crisp noodles topped with a generous mix of seafood, chicken, and vegetables in a savory sauce. The Beef Brisket with Daikon Clay Pot was incredibly tender, with melt-in-your-mouth brisket and daikon that soaked up the rich, comforting braising sauce. The Seafood & Pork Dumplings with Truffle were plump, juicy, and elevated by just the right amount of truffle without overpowering the filling. The Shrimp & Chive Dumplings had a delicate, chewy wrapper with fresh, juicy shrimp inside. The Bean Curd Steamed Dumplings were another standout--silky bean curd wrapped around a savory filling and served in a rich sauce that made them incredibly comforting. We also loved the Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet--lightly battered, perfectly crispy, and seasoned with garlic, scallions, and just the right amount of pepper. Beyond the food, the service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Everything arrived hot and quickly, even with a busy dining room. It's always a great sign when every dish at the table is a winner, and that was definitely the case here. We genuinely loved every single dish we ordered and would happily order them all again.

I wrote this…read morereview the minute I left Christmas Eve 2025 and left it in my drafts folder contemplating if I should post it, here I am with my final decision: I have never had such lack of help from wait staff in my entire life. I am so disappointed in this place, you will NEVER find me back here again. Alright let's start with when we got there, we put our names on and the iPad said 3-11 minute wait. 25 minutes later, we finally got seated. I understand it was busy but this was just the great start to the dinner we had. We ordered and the food started coming. We ordered two plates of Mongolian beef to go with two plates of shrimp fried rice. We got the Mongolian beef before the rice which was the 3rd to last item that came out when we ordered 11 plates. The table was noticing that the rice was not coming out in time so I asked to cancel one plate of rice with not one, not two, but three different waiters. First two were not helpful since it seemed like they couldn't understand me or just didn't care and the third said "they already made the plate so it's not an option" and set both plates down. I was trying to ask since the rice came out so late and was supposed to go with the Mongolian beef if we could just take one off and there was back and forth without him backing down (why?? Does the money come out of your paycheck??). Anyways so okay we then get the bill and we have a service charge that we had never seen before which was $33 and we didn't see that so we tipped 20% on top of the bill. However we get chased down as we're leaving because they are shocked we left a tip on top of the service charge which now we are seeing for the first time. Completely our fault that we don't catch it before. But we had a 4 minute conversation about what the service fee was vs a tip and from what I gather they were saying it is not the same as a tip. However when we said "okay then ya we are keeping the tip on the payment" they were ECSTATIC!! Like shockingly surprised we did that so we walked away feeling like they lied to us about the service charge being a tip. Then the whole group taking the same car agreed that service fees are tips. I wouldn't know, I've never had to pay for one before. But after this visit on Christmas Eve I am just beside myself with the lack of customer service and then what seems to me is the blatant lie about the service fee not being a tip. I've seen other people comment on the rude staff and up until this point I had never seen it. Now I will not be coming back here and Din Ding will never get another cent from me. This was unacceptable.
