I recently attended a wedding celebration here and can comment that the banquet Chinese menu here is quite good! Having been to quite a few in Norther and Southern CA, the quality of the dishes served is quite high. Service was prompt but I would recommend the dishes we had for the flavor and presentation. I hope to return to try their normal dining experience. read more

I tried the steamed crab with noodles. Cooked fresh, but I think it was over cooked as the meat didn't have much flavor and was a bit more mushy than I'm used to. The noodles underneath were tasty. I would probably order the sea bass instead if I wanted seafood with a buttery and flaky texture. read more

I am giving 2 stars for the yummy food. I loved the dumplings and the noodles and the space HOWEVER the service, the attentiveness, and the wait time were just ridiculously beyond disappointing. I am so glad I didn't take my sister here for her birthday or it would've been ruined. I was so embarrassed to have chosen this for my cousin's birthday because not only did they give the wrong dishes they also forgot to give us the dishes we had asked for. I understand that the load of tending 500+ people is stressful and given that this place has been open I would assume that the management would improved by now. Our server was absent the whole time and when. we waved him down and gave our orders or even ask for any recommendations or just plain questions about the dishes his body language just couldn't wait to get the Fuck out of our table as if he was irritated that we don't know what we wanted. had to wait for water 30+ mins and never got the tea and steamed rice we had asked for initially. We understood that some of the helpers didn't speak English which was hard and we understood. I think that the whole establishment needs more reevaluating as far as executing these big family tables. I have worked in the food industry and I have a lot of patience but the vibe here was just off altogether. I don't think I will be coming back here, I might do togo (unsure if they do that here) but if they do I might just take my chances and do that because the service my family and I received was just horrendous... read more

Just went here for my grandma's birthday today and I am very disappointed to say the least. We came here expecting wonderful food and a great time as we've had a few months back. We received food that were dry, inedible, and contained hair in it. The portuguese egg tart was so deformed that it was incredibly disappointing. Even my grandma who is usually understanding and likes all food was very disappointed by this experience. Attached are some of the pictures of the food, and the deformed portuguese egg tart. Will not be coming back, and very disappointed. For the shrimp rice roll, they sent a replacement after we found the hair. The replacement was okay, but the food in general was all cold and unpleasant to eat. After leaving the restaurant, we all had stomachaches and had to use the restroom countless times. read more

I went here for lunch because my mom was told they have the best dim sum. They have quite an extensive menu and you mark your choices on a menu and dishes come out as they're ready. I want to mention that for 3 people it was $50/person for lunch which I think is a bit much for dim sum. The xlb are a skip, not much soup and thick skinned. The chicken feet were tasty and you get a large portion. I like that they cut them in half to make the dish more shareable and manageable. The duck is one dish everyone at the table can agree was the tastiest. The har gow are way too big here as they have an entire shrimp inside. The skin is again way too thick. Fried tofu with meat is a skip as it was soggy and greasy. Chow fun was tasty, I would get this again. You get a large portion of noodle and meat. Rice rolls were good and I liked the pork better than the shrimp variety. The lava buns are a skip, they're mostly air inside with very little filling. The fried oysters were kind of gross with shards of shell (maybe because they insist on serving them inside a cold oyster shell). Ambience is interesting, you'll feel like you're in Vegas or something with the giant TV screens hurling their wedding package ads at you. Overall it was a lackluster experience and took forever to get the check. Food is just ok , which makes it not worthwhile given prices. Also they don't have pricing on all the items on the menu which I don't like. They charge a service fee here so remember to not add a tip. read more

My parents from HK were visiting, so I wanted to bring them some places that are my go-to's. As the days passed, I slowly ran out of places to go, and tried to avoid going somewhere twice. Eventually, I found myself at Walmart, and recalled my friend telling me HL Peninsula is not bad. I trusted his opinion, so I brought my parents there for dinner. Upon arrival, the place looked promising. Nice big open dining area, decent sized tables, humongous tv showing the Warriors game, the wait staff was came in a timely manner and was attentive. i prematurely thought "wow, this place is going to give Grand Dynasty a run for their money. Being Cantonese folks, we tried to order things we were familiar with, that we assumed would be on the menu, such as Peking Pork Chops. Nope, they don't got this. OK. How about Salt and Pepper Pork Chops? Nope. But they had some fancy sounding spare ribs, which we passed on. We ain't paying our hard earned money on mostly bones. Before I proceed, my apologies for not having photos. Perhaps when I get them from my dad, I will update this post. We ended up ordering three dishes. 1. Sauté Chinese Broccoli with Preserved Meat and Fish Cake 2. Pan Seared Lotus Root Patties with Pork in XO sauce 3. Fish Mushroom and Tofu Clay Pot Dish 1 came out and it was probably the best of the three. However, it did not come out fresh cooked, and it was seemingly lukewarm when it arrived at our table. Odd, but forgivable. Dish 2 came out, and the problems started. I don't really eat seafood, not because I'm allergic, but because I just don't like it. The closest thing to seafood I will willingly eat is a McDs Filet o Fish, or a deep fried flounder. As soon as I took one bite from the lotus cake, I knew it wasn't just pork. I asked my dad, and he said it should be pork. My mom took a bite, and she questions if the pork went bad. We flagged down a staff to ask "hey what meat is in here", and she said "I think it's pork". I told her that I need to know for certain, so she brought another staff over, who confirmed it was shrimp and pork. I said that is fine, as long as my parents are OK with eating it. Dish 3 comes out. I remember before we ordered, I asked what kind of fish is in the clay pot, and he said flounder. Well, I had a really hard time finding the fish in the clay pot, and wen I did, it was full on little bones. This was not flounder. I flagged the waiter down and told him about the issue, and he got a little defensive. At this point, two out of three dishes are not right. Dish 2 on the menu made no mention of shrimp being mixed into the meat cocktail. Dish 3 was just the completely wrong fish, yet the staff tried to convince me this is normal that chef would put in whatever dish he feels like. Well, you told me it's flounder and that's why I ordered it. I straight up told him, "here is the problem, two out of three dishes are f#cked up, and I'm not good with that. Please call your manager." The manager game over and listened to what we had to say. He started off by defending the dishes, but as we spoke he did acknowledge that the should be more transparent about the shrimp being in the meat patties of dish 1. He also agreed that the waiter should have told the chef explicitly that we want flounder, not his "fish of the day". Finally, we were getting somewhere close to a resolution. A few apologies later, two dishes were replaced (with two other mediocre dishes), we packed up the leftovers, and bounced. The free dessert tho... was pretty darn good. It was a red bean sago soup, or something. On a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best), here is how I would rate HL Peninsula: Atmosphere - 4 pretty good Food quality - 3 just above meh Service - 4 despite the shenanigans, it was good service Verdict: I probably won't be back unless someone really insists on coming, and they are paying. read more

We ordered shrimp dumplings, deep fried shrimp ball, bbq pork bao, short ribs with teriyaki sauce ( to oily missing the teriyaki sauce flavor to much veggies few ribs) and golden egg fried rice (too pricey $20. Per portion, nothing special) We are (with my wife) agree that we had better food in other Chinese restaurants Service really bad server show up only to take our order and we never saw her again, we like to order something else and no one assisted us, even when they pass around , I don't know if they don't pay attention o they don't care (maybe because we are not Asian, and the only no Asian people in the restaurant) I call twice to get the bill and no one assisted is, I have to go to someone on the cashier station to pay, also different station to get a togo box Decor look very Asian, big place two big big screen projecting restaurant advertisements, Also they offer a private room Unfortunately was a bad experience I do not coming back. read more

The venue is beautiful and I imagine weddings being here. The tables were a little cramped and made it uncomfortable to turn because you immediately see the next table behind you or next to you. Not sure if they were trying to fit more people into the morning dim sum hours. The food were mediocre for the price. I've had better other places but it is a great place for big parties. We got the basics shrimp dumplings, shumai, Rice noodle, and a couple of things that look unfamiliar on the menu. I didn't like how the menu didn't have pictures so we couldn't imagine what the food will look like. And I really miss the old dim sum way of having a car pushing around and asking you what you want. Because now you have to order everything in advance... I saw that they also have private rooms for you to host different things because they were different sizes. I would give it another try if I was coming here for a wedding or a special event. But not for dim sum. read more

We arrived at 10:13 a.m. on Saturday and placed our take-out order at 10:19 a.m. The manager told us it would take about 30 minutes, but even 50 minutes later the order still wasn't ready. These were just standard dim sum dishes. Instead of taking responsibility, the manager blamed the kitchen staff. That's not what I consider good management. read more

Very busy and packed on a Sunday night Perhaps is a new chain restaurant in town Nothing too impressive, food is standard to what other chains offer, not much of services. Two dishes stood out out of the 10 course meals (the sea bass and the Ubi Bao which was a complimentary dessert, Hostess was a bit disorganized Getting us seated our order was incorrect. Maybe it will be better when is settled. read more

Went on a Friday evening with a party of 6. We ordered an assortment of Cantonese BBQ dishes, chow fun, grilled quail, custard buns, and char siu buns. Food came out quick and was delicious. Service was great in getting the server whenever we needed something. They had a big TV playing basketball/football games, so it kept the kiddo occupied. Complimentary dessert of red bean soup with sago rounded out the meal well. read more

Horrible service.There is a waiter holding a plate full of soup, which still has a strong flavor. We are luck because the soup is not hot. He didn't pay attention to the guests around him and poured soup all over my mother's coat and skirt. Then he took two wet tissues for us and left. He said he was sorry with a perfunctory attitude. There is no apology at all. Now there is a fishy smell all over the clothes. And it's also Mother's Day. My mother feels very unhappy. read more

There was too many people. We sat on the side where they put all the dirty dishes at and they would just throw the plates it's so loud. This place is so big so the staff are always in a hurry. The food was good tho. The dumplings are massive and have a lot of serving size. read more

I have done review with HL peninsula in a south city area and this time I am trying the Milpitas location. Over all it was good. It would have rated 4 stars but some of the CON haul my last starts. So I rated 4 stares. CONs: 1) Price is not competitive 2) the beef chow fan: The dish brought out at medium warm. ( this order is suppose to be make to order). By the time it reach our table, it was lube warm. Not good. Also, the chow fan look like a re heat order. Anyone who is a foodie or have family own restaurants know that chow fan should not be dark and sticky/ thick unless is not readily made. Note: have ask to re make, and all they do is re heat. Remember, re heat and re make mean two different things. Very dissatisfied. Hope rest of you have great experience there. Go foodie. read more

This restaurant has excellent food and service. Even though we had to change to a bigger table, they accommodated us with a very positive attitude. They also have a 16% service charge, clearly displayed on a big sign--unlike other dim sum places that charge 18% without making it obvious and often provide poor service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone--the food is delicious and so tasty! The seating is quite comfortable, the décor is modern, and the atmosphere is less noisy. The place is clean and gives off a high-quality vibe. read more

Came here on Sunday to try dim sum first time, love that they have a hugh parking lot so parking is not bad. Got a number ticket and you can match your number on the tv screen. They have 2 Hugh TV scene by the dining area, love the bright lighting and high ceiling. Service is very attentive, they help get refill of hot water and iced water. We marked our order on the order sheet with pic while waiting to be seated. We ordered a lot for 4 people, ordered siu mai, chilled chicken feet, baked sticky rice, fried fish skin with egg yolk, purple rice roll, beef honey comb tripe with curry sauce, baked bbq pork bun, baked lava egg yolk bun, padan egg tart, Portuguese egg tarts, and beef sautéed thin rice vermicelli. Everything taste very yummy and comes out hot and quick. read more

The math will not equate to 5 stars but let me clarify a few things. First, if you want to be seated in the main dining area, get here before 10:45AM (on the weekends) otherwise you will a) wait or b) get seated in their sub-dining room. Have some compassion for staff. We were seated in the sub-dining area near the entrance. There was one person handling that room (not including any other areas or tables he covers that we are oblivious from so my parents and I were patient. Did not catch his name but he tried to be fast and welcoming. He was great! We ordered: 1) pork and preserved duck egg congee (more for my parents, one portion) 2) shiu mai (2 portions) 3) honeycomb tripe w/ curry sauce (1 portion) 4) shrimp balls (3 portions for Gavin and my parents) 5) gai lan (2 portions for my parents) 6) ginger and scallion tripe (3 portions) 7) Shanghai XLB (1 portion) 8) crab meat and shrimp dumpling (1 portion) 9) tea for my parents (they do charge for tea) 10) beef meatballs (1 portion) While the most outrageous price was the congee ($24) but I understand cost of goods nowadays due to shortages so no outrage there. The price is listed, if you don't like it, simply don't order it. Service can be slow at times but the food runners are friendly and helpful. Just need to ask and add in a "please" and "thank you" will go a long way. My favorites: beef meatballs, tripe, and the honeycomb tripe; the curry sauce was delicious! The food was good. My parents enjoyed it. They want to come back to try their dinner. My bill came out to $164 and that includes the service fee everyone is surprised about. It would be helpful if they posted that before people get seated so no one can complain about it. I don't know where the 15% will go to but we tipped the server $30 because of his personality and attitude. I wanted to treat my parents, told them to meet here at 11:15. Thankfully, I am never on time so Gavin and I were seated first. By the time we left, there were more than 30 people waiting outside. This place is located in the same plaza / parking lot as Macaroni Grill. A welcoming addition to the area so folks do not need to drive to McCarthy area to brave the parking disaster. Can't wait for my company to have folks back in the building; my office is a 5 min. drive. Been working from home for almost 2 years - not a glimpse of normalcy. Anyway. Yes, price is pretty expensive but if you have money to go out, don't complain. If you don't want to spend the money or don't like the prices, either dine elsewhere or don't order those dishes. Glad you guys opened during this challenging supply chain time. read more

Right off the bat I envisioned this to your typical Chinese restaurant: round tables, claustrophobic feels when it comes to the layout, and tacky laminated menus. I SERIOUSLY COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG!!! Upon entering you are completely in awe of HLP's modern vibes and grandeur setup. This place definitely exudes "high-end" with 2 of the biggest TVs I have ever laid my eyes on, placed on each end of the restaurant. Our party of 3 were seated quickly and I really appreciated how spaced out the seating/dining arrangement was. You don't feel obligated to scoot all the way into your end of the table, people aren't randomly bumping into the back of your chair, & there was absolutely no claustrophobic feels!! WhooHoo!!! Menu: While the fancy menu book was pretty, a majority of the options inside focused on the expensive items such as abalone, sea cucumber, & lobster. The rice & noodle options seemed a bit limited so we sought help from an employee. We let them know of the items we wanted and they either placed the order or they directed us towards something similar. & Lastly, for those of you who are wondering, dim sum is NOT offered during dinner. BOOOOO!!!! Dinner: -House Special Fried Rice -Seafood Chow Mein -Beef Tenderloin with Asparagus & Walnut [not a single walnut provided] -A set of 2 House Special Abalone -Braised Sea Cucumber w/ Sea Urchin Sauce 5/5 stars specifically for the restaurant's cleanliness and the delicious food!! Our party enjoyed each and every item. With that said, I deducted 1 star due to a few hiccups: 1) I get that the employees want to be attentive but things end up being chaotic as opposed to enjoyable when multiple employees ask you the same exact things. On more than one occasion items were requested/ordered but never came out and it got really confusing about who we had last spoken with. 2) whatever happened to the walnuts in the beef dish?? No explanation was ever provided. Lmao. 3) English doesn't seem to be a strong suit for a majority of the workers. This made for communication issues. I'd happily come back to try out HLP's dim sum offerings & maybe rent out one of the private rooms for a future family event. I have high hopes that the restaurant will have all the kinks ironed out by then. read more
