Came here for brunch with two other ppl. It's such a spacious restaurant that can hosts evening like weddings. I was impressed by the variety of the menu items and lots of which were pretty unique (I didn't see them in other dim sum restaurants)! read more

Been here twice and loved it ! Amazing food and fresh!!! Made to order but pretty fast still Great for a wedding the venue is HUGE. There are also several private rooms as well. Very elevated for a dim sum restaurant. Highly recommend checking this place out! Everything we ordered was delicious and service was great! read more

My current favorite dim sum place! I would say they are on par with Koi Palace in terms of quality and price. However, I like them more because there is typically never a wait even at peak times since its such a huge restaurant! read more

Very good cantonese food. On par with Koi Palace. Some dishes taste even better (less greasy and less salty) than Koi. Spacious interior and great service too! read more

Came one Sunday around 11am. Got seated immediately. But when we left, the line was long. Dim sum came steamy hot, but please expect you can only order once, the server told us reorder will be a long wait, so we gave up. I like their Siu mai, juicy and not too meaty. Our server Frank was very attentive, although he was responsible in taking & following up with orders , cleaning up, filling tea pot, he was really mindful. One female server took our order sheet but forgot to place the order; Frank noticed it 10mins later and help us to input the order without us questioning. They are very lucky to have this great staff! read more

good dimsum! excellent service. very large restaurant and can accommodate large parties.

Dim sum isn't bad, but service is poor and they nickel and dime you on tea. They charge tea by person and even said that kids are free. At the end of the meal they charged everyone but it wasn't noticed until we got some so it wasn't worth the trouble to go back to get it fixed and the hassle of arguing who was there, etc. Even though there are carts going around, the dim sum is ordered through a paper menu and you mark the quantity you want. The menu is a bit off center though so be careful or you might end up choosing the wrong thing. Taste wise, the things we ate were good. Nothing that says this is amazing, but solid dim sum dishes. We wanted to order a few more dishes like siu mai that was missed. They never came. We waited for a long time and just asked for the check and to take it off the bill. The siu mai came after we already paid so they just took it back. Another thing to note is that you might want to steer clear of the "fresh" fish. When I was there, the fish in the tank were mostly dead. How could I tell? Eyes were all cloudy, they were bunched at the bottom the the tank and were not moving at all. Lobster and crab looked fine, but they don't seem to take care of their fish tank regularly. They could be serving you old/dead fish for all you know. Some of the fish were swimming but they were in a different section. read more

I liked the ambiance. It was very spacious and elegant. I like the food too. The service was kind.

2nd time here, the restaurant is so beautiful and it has so much space, the seafood here is also so fresh and it's live - even better. The lobster, it's huge read more

The service was bad overall! How can the waitress give us forks & knives and ask us to past them to the other side of the table? The waitress had less experience (soup was touching the upper part of the spoon when pouring). The men in black (two captains) rarely communicated to us. When the fish came, the old captain asked if we wanted to separate the fish bone. We said yes and said let us take a picture first. The old man left and never came back. When changing our plates, we gave the dirty plates to the young captain and got a new plate on the table ourselves. Food was good. 18% tip was added by default. read more

I've been seeing so many people come here and I just thought it was just dim sum, but it looked like they had so many other things on their menu (like entrees). There would always be outside waiting for a table, so I assumed it would be good. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty good but our experience was horrible. The parking lot is big and shared with plenty of other businesses, but if you're unlucky, you'll have to park on the far side of the lot and take a walk to the restaurant. I would just suggest you get there early or at least closer to the time that the restaurant opens. Once it's lunchtime, the parking lot is packed! The inside of the restaurant is HUGE and very beautifully decorated. There are so many tables, but it was a little odd how close the tables were to each other. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I just felt like there could have been more room. For example, I had my purse hanging on my chair, and every time a server came around, my purse would end up getting a little push. Each table had a table number, except ours. I noticed it, but didn't really think it would be an issue. Well, I was wrong. It became an issue towards the end of our visit. The food was pretty good but also pricey for the portions they gave. One thing that we noticed was that when we ordered the dim sum, it came out kinda cold. We would expected it to have been freshly steaming hot, but it wasn't. For example, we ordered xiao long bao and you would expect that the inside would be piping hot! It wasn't even warm. And we actually had to wait a little longer for some of our dishes for some reason. We were close to finishing eating our other dishes and then our last 2 dishes came out. It's not a big deal but more of an inconvenience. There was one thing on the menu that I was trying to order (Mango Pudding Piggy) but a server came out to use after we ordered and said they didn't have anymore, so I just accepted it. About 10 minutes later, I see a service holding a giant tray of Mango Puddings. I couldn't tell if they were the Piggies, but I figured I would still ask. So I called a server over to confirm that there were no more of the mango pudding piggies and she said "Yes, there's no more". Later during our visit, the same lady came back with a tray and she had Mango Pudding rabbits. She asked us if we would like those instead and we thanked her. That was very nice of her and that was probably the only enjoyable part of our visit. The service is HORRIBLE! I'm sorry to say it but that's just how I felt. I understand that it's Chinese food and the majority of their customers are Chinese, but whenever I had a question or need help, the servers weren't able to understand what I was saying and they would have to grab another worker. In addition to that, it was such a struggle to get anyone's attention! This is just the beginning...keep reading! Once it was time to pay, I asked for the check. When I received it, the total was around $70ish. Okay, no problem. I give them my card and we waited. I always try to keep track of how long it takes to pay the bill, especially with a lot of places nowadays stealing credit card numbers. So I noticed that it was taking a really long time for them to come back with my card... Remember how I mentioned we didn't have a table number? Well here's where that important fact works into our visit: THEY CHARGED MY CARD TO SOMEONE ELSE'S BILL! Yup, and why am I not surprised especially since we had no table number. And I should've known something was wrong because 2 different servers came back to our table to verify which card was mine. So they voided the last transaction on my card and charged it again for what was supposed to be our table. Well, I check the receipt before signing it and of course ANOTHER DISCREPANCY. They charged us for 2 jasmine teas that we did not order! So I had to flag a manager down and let him know. He was making this horrible excuse saying "well I just don't wanna void it again and charge your card again because the bank might flag your card." I told him, "Well I didn't order that so how can I get it refunded?" And his answer was "Well I can give you a store credit so you can use it on your next visit." In my head, I was saying that we were not coming back so I pretty much just told him to refund me in cash to which he agreed to. Another thing to mention is that they do charge a 15% service charge. We're definitely not coming back especially eating at the restaurant. This was the most annoying and inconvenient experience I've had in a restaurant in a very long time. It's clear that they don't care about their customers' dining experiences. Maybe we'll order a to-go order, but I would highly suggest that everyone check their bill before paying and signing off on the receipt! read more

Great ambiance - nice decoration and there's also semi-private rooms. Also ample parking

The food is decent but the chairs were bad, and the food is too salty for me. The service was good and funny overall good service but kept mixing foods. The atmosphere was good loved the big screens and overall decent. food 3/5 service 3/5 ambiance 5/5. read more

I went to eat dimsum today and the food was delicious and the service was great. I will definitely come back to eat again.

I don't like this place. First up, they don't have satay sauce. Which DIM SUM restaurant doesn't have satay sauce. Second, we ordered the fired shrimp balls which it supposed to dip with sweet and sour sauce, and the server said they don't have it either‍ With that said it's already a turn off, especially when they don't have satay sauce. Just my wife and I, At last when we ere done eating, I handed my CC card to my wife because I had to take the call, the server told my wife that the restaurant automatically charged us 15% service charges is already on our bill and we don't need to pay additional tips if we don't have to. I am very generous when it comes to tipping but how they charged their guests with services charge fees that I don't like. read more

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Overall, a great dining experience!

Food was taste bad: We ordered a turbot cost more than $100 dollars, but the way they cooked was not right, and they charged extra $12 dollars for the special way, then they wanted another $12 dollars for some vegetables go with the fish! Service was bad: there was not many customers on Thursday night, but there was almost no service! Price was bad! read more

First time coming here. Never felt discrimination with any dim sum place previously, until I came here. With disappointment, you can feel that you're unwelcome from the waiter--from the tone of his voice, to the eye-rolling as you order. Our waiter rushed us to order and was repeatedly tapping his pen with impatience. Sadly, the tables around us who are Asian got better service from this waiter. On top of that, they managed to get their dishes first. We waited more than 1 hour to get any dishes, which we ordered way before them. No one checked in on us during the wait as well. Other waiters and workers walked past us with no eye contact. Every person working is Asian. The only non-Asians are the ones who were cleaning. Additionally, I understand that certain items would be sold out with the amount of people present at the restaurant. For the waiter to give you an attitude for not knowing which dishes are sold out is uncalled for. We had 6 adults and 1 child who is 6 years old. For this waiter to keep counting how many people we have repeatedly and stating we only ordered 6 dishes is incredibly rude. I didn't know everybody had to order their own dish--especially with the size of the plates that they serve. Overall, I cannot recommend this place. A racist waiter, discrimination, and an incredibly long wait time. Plus they charge you an automatic 15% tip. No recomiendo este lugar, Hindi ko inirerekomenda ang lugar na ito. Ich empfehle diesen Ort nicht. I don't recommend this place. read more

HL Peninsula Restaurant - The size of dishes are made for sharing. Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs w/Fresh Pineapples was mainly bones, not worth $20. - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

Amazing service! Food's a little bit different from other dim sum. Would prefer the traditional rolling ca

Came to HL Peninsula about two weeks ago - Ok food, but mainly paying for the ambience and the atmosphere. Service was slow but the food gets the job done. Pricing tier on dimsum was on the higher end so if you're craving quick dimsum, I would recommend somewhere else. But if you're bringing your fam and friends from out of town to eat, there is plenty of seating and higher end feel here. read more

been procrastinating this update but it needs to be done 酥皮叉烧包 (baked char siu bao) - soo insanely mid. it was literally cold and the top wasn't crispy and rather kinda soggy. there was barely any filling inside and it didn't really taste like char siu but rather just salty meat 金沙南瓜 (salted egg yolk pumpkin) - the salted egg wasn't salty or eggy and literally just tasted like sand. the pumpkin was alright but I'm not a big fan of pumpkin to begin with 流沙包 (steam salted egg yolk bun) - also insanely mid, served basically cold, the fillijg wasn't even runny like it's supposed to be. also not enough filling. just so bad and it had so much more potential if they just served it hot instead of at room temp honestly so disappointed at this place I take back what I said about it being comparable to like mayflower and koi palace. those places are way better read more

Food is decent and served warm to hot, a Cantonese standard for decency. 15% service charge added to the bill automatically. Service needed to be improved. No tea or liquid brought over almost 20 min after we sat down. One dim sum picked was out not not notified until half an hour later. We could have picked a replacement much earlier. No condiments available until request. I like my chili sauce next to my hakau (shrimp dumplings) most of the time. But staff too busy to pay attention to me. If service is such a miss during weekday lunch I can't imagine I would come during weekends. read more

Ate here on a weekday and we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! The service was great.

This review is for their dinner. We had a steamed black cod which was perfectly steamed and was excellent. Poached live shrimps were delicious. We also had several other plates that were under $30. The dishes were innovative, not the standard choices one would find in every Cantonese restaurant. They were very tasty and of great value. read more

As what everyone else is saying... Services was terrible at this restaurant. To be exact we asked for forks for the kids at our table 5 times and asked for water 4 times. Only 6 out of 10 orders actually made it out (we decided to cancel the rest as we found ourselves waiting for too long, almost as if they forgot). Had the same experience as everyone else, the food came out one at a time, the time in between each plate was so long that we would finish the plate then received the next. We were at the restaurant a little over 2 hours and I'm confident 1 1/2 hours of the 2 hours was just waiting in between foods. On top of everything they automatically charged us 18% tip... I gave them 2 stars because the eggplant scallops is good. Would I recommend sacrificing bad customer services for the eggplant? No, I honestly don't recommend eating here but if you do want to try it, TAKE IT TO-GO avoid the time waiting in your seat, and avoid the automatic 18% tip read more

HL Peninsula Restaurant - Purple Rice crispy shrimp rolls - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

I have been to several Cantonese restaurants in SJ and so far this is the best one. You gotta know what you order though. We're here for the lunar new year celebration and the waiter recommended several dishes. All tasted very good. Food: 5/5 Geoduck sashimi was super fresh. Sweet and crispy. Roasted whole pig had a crispy skin with smoky flavor soft fatty white meat underneath. You have to preorder this and notify the restaurant in advance. Specifically called in to place the order for this dish and they did not fail us. Great presentation too! Watercress with soup was well seasoned and had a sweet aftertaste. Nothing can go wrong with the Sweet and sour pork. We were very satisfied with what we ordered today. Service: 5/5 Not sure why this place has a low score but their service was pretty good to me. Host had us seated quick and tea were served right after. Waiters were paying attention in detail and I never had an empty cup during the night. Food came out very quick as well. They also served hot red bean sago soup to everyone of us at the end. Thumbs up :) Environment: 5/5 Easy parking. This place has a super high ceiling and two huge LED screens. Between every desk, there were plenty of rooms for distancing. Modem decorations too. A very good place for hosting banquets or weddings. What impressed me was they had a huge selection of menu especially seafood. We haven't tried the lobster and crabs, but I'll definitely come back to try those in our next visit. read more

Terribly disappointed. Spent $180 for twelve dishes, most of which were not worth the price due to the small portions and mediocre flavors. The Pandan Flavor Custard Tart (although a little too sweet but the flakes were good), Pan-Seared Eggplant, Beef Chow-Fun w/ Tomato & Egg (the only dish with good-tasting meat), Pan-Seared Lotus Root Cake, and Fried Glutinous Dumpling With Pork were decent. The rest, however... Roasted Squab - Four sad-looking, dry pieces of meat. Not moist or tender at all. Duck Tongue, Chicken Feet - Not bad but barely has any flavor compared to other dim sums. Fish & Crispy Donut Rice Noodle Rolls - Can't taste the fish at all. Average. Soya Marinated Pig Feet - Too sweet. Had more inedible ginger camouflaged as pig feet than actual pig feet. The worst part is: They even charged us extra 15% service fee when we ordered take-out! What a rip-off. Never ordering from here ever again - other dim sum restaurants are much better priced and have better tasting food. read more

This place is one of the best dim sum houses in the Bay Area. They do have other locations in the peninsula hence the name of restaurant. Their menu is bigger and place is very spacious for special events. You don't feel like you are sitting close to other tables. There's so many menu items that are special you don't see at other places and food is not as greasy as other dim sum restaurants. The quality is really good. We went during grand opening week and the service was good. We ordered a lot and food kept coming out quickly. I wish I had more photos to share but I was here to enjoy the place and not here to let my camera eat. Will come back again to try my favorite dishes again and take more photos to share. read more

Pretty poor service. Waited an hour and got a shared table. Pretty fucked up to be honest. I was a party of 3 and I see two people getting a 4 person table. I would have been fine if it was immediate seating for this. The dim sum was pretty avg. we came for the ambience and get a crappy room. Just disappointed at the experience. read more

Limited menu for dinner around New Years. Some interesting dishes such as the fried shrimp with garlic. Also had the tom yum soup which had a nice flavor and lots of seafood. We were excited to have the chicken and crab clay pot but after eating a piece of chicken, the chicken was raw. The manager came over and offered to take the dish away. How nice! He then offered another dish. The manager suggested he liked the lobster with salted egg. It was a good dish with a nice flavor. When the bill came, the raw chicken dish was taken off. Interestingly enough, the lobster dish was there for us to pay. I guess we thought or assumed in most cases when you take a dish that was raw, and when a manager suggests to the party another substitute dish, that it would be comped. In any case, it was not. Even if they did comp the dish, I would say a solid 3.5 stars. Maybe dim sum would be better? read more

HL Peninsula Restaurant - Raw chicken - Dim Sum Near Me - Milpitas, California

Large, beautiful ambience. Parking availability is better than average. Food is good. These are the reasons I would return. The not-so-good items: Service as is expected - you must be aggressive to get someone's attention should you need utensils, more water. (They charge $1.25 for hot water BTW) But the disadvantage of pre-ordering is that all your food arrives and then will get cold if your group does not eat quickly. And make sure to confirm your selected menu and final charges on your bill. read more

I'm sorry to say this is the first restaurant I took my parents after not dining out with them for over 2 years due to Covid. The ingredients were frankly low quality; just look at those small shrimps. I'm ok with borderline service but the service was also lacking. We were also not made aware of the 18% mandatory surcharge. This is a shame as I normally tip 20-25 having grown up in the restaurant business's. Will not recommend, you will see from my review history that I normally only invest time in giving positive reviews. read more

Possibly The worst dim sum place in East Bay. The food was average at best - most dishes were not better than the microwaveable ones you can get at 99 ranch. The decor was tacky and the service was super slow to a degree of non-existence. For our table and all tables around us, there was some problem with either slow ordering or wrong dishes. After an hour wait, we just want to get the hell out and save the rest of Sunday as best as we could. The only high-end about this place is the price. Buy less ads, hire more competent chef and service staff, ok? read more
