    Premium Shrimp Dumpling (3 Pieces) (3)
    Kristine L.

    A friend recommended this place because I wanted to get some dim sum take out. It's too far from me so they don't deliver to my house, so I went to pick it up. I set the pick up time for later, and it was ready within 10 minutes. It was worth the 1 hour round trip drive. The parking lot was stressful. Everything I ordered was so good. It's clean inside and they packed up the food so well. The workers were also pleasant. It was a long drive home and I was hungry, so I only took a few pics. The prices were pretty good.

    Final Thoughts: 4.20/5 Dim sum is really not something my friends and I eat often because there's only so many places that serve it at PM time. Usually, known to be a breakfast and AM food item, but we wanted some today and found this spot. We've tried this spot once already, but just never reviewed it. We finally got the chance to come back. Will be a solid 4 star for me today. Food: Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls: This was probably my least favorite of the items we got today. It really wasn't bad, but I just prefer for the rice paper to be thinner. This one was very thick and doughy, so the ratio of shrimp to wrapper is slightly off. Shrimps are quite small. Nicely cooked though. There is soy sauce that is added to this dish. The light umami and sweetness for the soy sauce is usually must for me for this dish. Contributes really well. Mr. SiuMai (Pork and Shrimp): 4.2/5 There are 3 pieces for this dish. This is their siu mai. The meat and filling is seasoned well. Texture is quite nice because the filling has meat and shrimp in it. This gives it a little crunch from the shrimp with some bite and chew. Soy sauce is an option and it does add a nice additional flavor to it, but it's seasoned enough to a point where you don't really need it. Each piece was quite big too, which is nice. Smells freshly made and not from a bag. Everything was cooked well and piping hot when we came out. Premium Shrimp Dumpling: 4.0/5 This is the har gow. They come with 3 pieces for this dish. Each one is quite plump and filled nicely. The shrimp are minced, but there are still some pieces visible inside. The employee actually steamed a fresh batch for us because it was close to their closing time and they didn't have enough for our order. This one came out also piping hot and fully cooked. Also very nicely seasoned. The crunch from the shrimp was just right. It wasn't fully minced shrimp for this and there are still some of the small chunks in there that give it a really good texture. Some soy sauce contributed well for this one. The wrapper to filling ratio was good. Not too thick for the wrapper and not too doughy. Crazy Shrimp Balls: 4.0/5 The texture for the shrimp balls. Texture for this one was definitely a favorite. Super crispy and crunchy on the outside and the inside has a chew and bite to it. Something to note is that these are super oily and greasy. They look like they're double fried and that might contribute to how much oil is dripping off of these shrimp balls. I like how homemade/in-house these look though. I love the crispy eggroll wrappers that give it the crispy and crunch on the outside. They seem to put more on these ones. Seems to give it more of a "crazy" look. There is the sweet and sour sauce in a packet that is provided to us. Their shrimp balls are quite well seasoned, but I do like the additional flavor that this sauce contributed to it. BBQ Pork Buns: xx One of my friend's favorite. I tried this the last time I came here, but didn't eat it this time. Their filling is quite nice. Bun is super fluffy and has that nice bounce to it. --------- Quality: Piping hot Their items are hot and appears to be right out of the steamer. Each one that came out was piping hot and could probably scald you if you eat it too quickly. I'm thinking their items are made in advance and frozen. When needed, they will take it out and thaw it. Favor and textures are still nice for most of them though. Price: Fairly priced The pricing for this appears to be normal for dim sum places. The price range will be within $7 to $9 for dim sum items and then lean more towards being $11 to $20 for kitchen items. Service: Very sweet The employees are super sweet. I'm not sure if the lady was one of the owners, but she was very welcoming and just very sweet in general. She offered to get us items and showed us where the waters, chopsticks, napkins, xyz were, which is always nice to see. Ambiance: Sit and Dine or Grab and Go The interior is very small and only fits a few tables inside. I feel like this place could be a sit and dine or grab and go kind of a space. All of their dim sum items are in the display case and then they will grab them for you. Perhaps they will heat is up for you if you are dining inside. There's only one row of tables and will house just a few groups inside. Location/Parking: Appropriate for size of the plaza Parking appears appropriately sized for this plaza. There's only one row of restaurants and shops in this plaza. So not too big and not too little either. Parking has never been a concern for me whenever I've gone to this plaza.

    Such fresh and delicious dim sum! My favorites were the shrimp crepes and the freshly made sesame balls. I haven't been able to find many places that make sesame balls fresh to order, so this was such a treat! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely coming back!

    Had their Mala Siumai, Rice Noodle with Shrimp, Shrimp and Chives and Har Gao. And Salted Egg Custard bun. Mala Siumai was good. Never had spicy Siumai before. It had the spiciness from peppercorn, not chili pepper spicy. Like that it did not have any filler; mostly meat. This is a must try. The Shrimp and Chives dumplings were really good too. Had the chives flavor that tastes like milder green onions but without the bitterness leafy taste; combined with the sweet flavor from the shrimp. The bottom was slightly fried. Better than ones from fancy dimsum restaurants I've had before. One of the few dimsum places that serve salted egg custard bun which was yummy. Had the distinct yolk flavor of salted egg but without all the saltiness. The yolk's buttery umami flavor paired well with the sweet custard. Soft buns. The Har Gow was yummy, too. Like that it didn't have bamboo shoots. Full of chunks of sweet shrimp together with some shrimp paste. The rice noodles with shrimp was perfectly steamed; still retained a little bite to it. Could use more shrimp, though. Came with a sweet soy sauce dip. Hole in the wall but better than some other dimsum restaurants. They also serve noodles, fried rice, and different cold tea drinks. Small dining area. Staff were nice and they try to get the food out fast. Reasonable pricing especially with the yummy goodness and not skimping on ingredients.

    I am so pleased with this little dim sum spot. It's a fresh take on takeout dim sum. Quite affordable too - about $55 for enough food to feed 3. There are a handful of tables but a lot of folks did takeout. They have all your favorite dim sum dishes, including chinese donut cheung fun. My favorites were their siumai which was so flavorful and meaty, and the chinese donut cheung fun that's best when it's fresh. Next time I'll try their har gow and egg tarts!

    Most dim sum spots around me were closed by 2:30 PM, and it was already close to 2, so my buddy and I decided to try Mr. Siumai. Walking in, I noticed they have two self-order kiosks, which is a plus. The place is remodeled and has a more modern, contemporary feel compared to before. Same location, different name. Then I saw the prices. $6 for 3 pieces of siumai!That's $2 per piece, which is honestly wild for a mom-and-pop dim sum spot. We ordered duck, fried rice, siumai, shrimp rice rolls, chicken feet, and a few other items. The siumai was just okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The fried rice was good. The chicken feet were solid.The shrimp rice roll came out without the usual sauce it's always served with. When we asked, the staff just pointed to the soy sauce on the table. If you eat dim sum regularly, you know that's not the same sauce. Overall, the food was hit or miss, and the pricing doesn't match the quality. The remodel looks nice, but higher prices alone don't justify average dim sum.

    So cute!

    My friend wanted dim sum, so we searched around for a new place to try after a hike. We ended up at Mr. SiuMai because of the pictures. When we got here, it wasn't what I had imagined - unlike usual dimsum places, we ordered at a kiosk in front (or with a staff), sat down, and then waited for our order to come out. There's some space for dine-in, but it seems most people came in to either order to go or to just pick up. We came on a Wednesday mid afternoon, so it wasn't too packed, but I could imagine the wait during normal lunch/dinner hours. There was a good variety to choose from and we ended up ordering about 11-12 different items. All of them looked good and we wanted to try a bunch of different things. We got our own water, small plate and napkins, but staff brought out a pot of tea for us after asking if we wanted some. Our order came out pretty quickly and everything was great. I especially liked the piggie custard buns! Of course, we ended up taking a good amount to go. I would like probably come back here just to pick up some dimsum to go next time I'm around.

    Charged for 9 pieces SiuMai, only given 6 pieces SiuMai.

    I know many of you may have read my previous review, which wasn't the most positive experience. However, I wanted to come back and provide an update because credit is due where it's earned. Despite my initial hesitation, I've returned to Mr. Siu Mai about five times since that review, largely because my daughter is obsessed with their baked BBQ pork buns and egg tarts. I'm happy to say that both the service and food quality have improved significantly, and my experiences since have been consistently positive. One of my recent favorites is the pistachio mochi ball, it's absolutely delicious. The outside is soft and chewy, the inside has a nice crunch, and it's not overly sweet. I find myself craving it regularly. While the menu is still a bit on the pricey side and I usually spend a minimum of $30 per visit, but the quality, service, and overall experience have made it well worth it. Based on my recent visits, I'm updating my review to 5 stars. Highly recommend!

    Came here to get a quick bite without dining in for dim sum. This place has different variation of siu mai that makes me excited to try. Curry siu mai (5/5): Imagine Japanese curry flavor with siu mai. I loved how juicy it was and how I could taste the juice with curry. Overall I hope to come back again

    Chicken Feet were pretty tasty
    AiFen S.

    I have frequented Mr. Siu Mai a handful of times now. When the craving hits for some quick dim sum, I don't hesitate to come here. Usually I try to arrive before noon on the weekend as the parking lot can be pretty crazy. The ladies working here are efficient, and if there is nobody else in the store you can just order directly in front of the steamed dim sum and fried dim sum areas. Otherwise the kiosk shows all their offerings My favorite dim sum dish is their spicy siu mai. Once I got to try a piece of curry siu mai since they were out of the third piece of spicy and that was not bad too. I also like their chicken feet and turnip cake. With each visit we try to get something else aside from the 3 mainstays but haven't been impressed with the fried items. The rice roll when I tried it was just okay as well and not the texture I prefer. I did like their mochi and the bbq pork puffs but don't crave those regularly. I haven't had a chance to try any of their noodles or bbq dishes yet so will update when I get an opportunity to have those as well.

    Came for lunch as a group. The parking is in a lot shared with Pho Kim Long, so think in terms of small compact spaces and limited parking. There are a few tables inside and for party of 6 we managed to get a combined table near the fridge. There are 2 more small tables near the entrance and a long table for outdoor seating. I have not been back for awhile, and this time we tired a variety of dim sum. We felt that the quality has come down a bit, my judgement is: OK: Chicken feet, spare ribs, siu mai, beef chow fun Meh: sticky rice in lotus leaf, beef rice noodle roll (the house made soy sauce did not elevate any flavor), congee with pork and century egg (no seasoning) Will not order again: Shanghai dumplings XLB (thick skin and breaks at the bottom when trying to scoop it out from the tin foil. They do have soup inside. My all time favorite is their taro cake, which is sold in a whole 8" tin. It's a fridge item; I like to slice it and pan fry at home. Service is minimal other than delivering the food to the table. We got our own extra bowls, spoons and napkins, etc. So expect self service. When talking to the staff, they are friendly.

    We stopped in here for dim sum since I was craving for a quick bite. We ordered lots of dim sum dishes at the screen. You can order it to go too. We saw lots of people taking out dim sum. I also have door dashed some food from here too. lol...turnip cakes, bao zi, dumplings of all sorts, xiao jiao, and shumai. We enjoyed it all. The mustard sauce was a little watery , but the food was still good. Yum!

    Peaceful morning dim sum vibes.

    We always come and leave here with a great impression of the place. Good employees and great foods. It's a casual and small dim sum spot, but it's filled with colorful items and buns. Love it. Credit cards accepted at both kiosk machines for dine-in or takeout. Plenty of tables and chairs indoors and outdoors here. Nice. Menu items are generous and around $5.99 per dish, it's still legit for Cantonese dim sims and affordable in the area. Yes, crowded public parking lot shared with the smoke shop, Pho Kim Long restaurant, and others. However, if you arrive on weekdays during 9am/10am or so, you'll get good VIP parking with lesser foot traffic. Downside is always this ghetto parking lot which has narrow aisles. Mr. SiuMai is worth it though. They have a cute takeout bag too. Must love. Got my order very fast. Staff was friendly and experienced. Bao buns and sweet buns are all very good in presentation over the display counter. Spare ribs, salted egg yolk buns, regular shrimp siumai, leek & shrimp dumplings, small chow mein noodles, hot tea from a pot, etc. I'll definitely come back for spare ribs again because they add the yellow pumpkin squash that I love in it. Quality foods. No complaints. All were tasty and delicious. Poured my own soy sauce & hot chili sauce that was on my table. Good vibes. $5.99 per dish was well worth it. They have plenty of foods to choose from. It's like eating in Chinatowns. I like ordering at the kiosks too, but note that they do get lots of customers ordering takeouts throughout the day, so don't take too long at the kiosks. Great impression so far. I will be revisiting again. The iced lemon beverage was definitely for my tastebuds. Refreshing. I also purchased a BBQ pork & roasted duck rice plate to go. Looks great! Comes with veggies. I added a sponge cake for takeout and wow, it was huge!

Getting them to-go or taking them home just isn't the same experience--they are best enjoyed hot right out of the kitchen. The Environment: The restaurant itself is very basic and could definitely use a deep clean, especially the floors. If you're looking for a romantic lunch, a date spot, or a sleek environment, you will be disappointed. Final Verdict: I definitely recommend this spot if you want a fast, delicious dumpling fix and don't care much about ambiance.

If you're going to be paying $60-$70 for two people, you would at least expect your food not to be burnt and the staff not be rude! I have been looking forward to going to this place for two years, it was a birthday dinner and I was so disappointed by my experience. I understand that it's downtown San Jose and we came in the evening, so maybe that's just how closing staff is. First off when we were seated, I asked to be moved to a more comfortable's table because the chairs were really uncomfortable for me. The staff seemed irritated and said "I guess" which was the first red flag because it's nerve-racking enough to ask for a special request and to be met with an unprofessional answer like that was disheartening. Secondly, two orders of dumplings came out burnt, which was seriously disappointing. We could barely eat them. We didn't end up finishing them. I brought this up to staff. He told me they weren't burnt and that's just how they are. I know the difference between burnt and browned and these were definitely burnt hard on the bottom and inedible. He begrudgingly told me well "I'm sorry but you'd still would have to pay for another order". I don't think that's fair at all so I said "it's fine were ok" I don't wanna give this company any more of my money anyway if this is how they treat their customers. Lastly, once we were done with our food and paid the check, the man came back to our table and asked us if there was anything he could do for us and how if we enjoyed our meal this felt like a slap in the face after everything I've already asked of him that he refused and denied and being met with a disingenuous offer just felt petty. All in all, I wouldn't go here if you're looking for food that is not burnt Service that is helpful and hospitable. Andexperience that is anything above fast casual dining.

Seasoned nicely, and the texture was JUST right, not too soft nor chewy, would order again Next was the Har gow and shrimp rice rolls. These 2 are my usuals and I thoroughly enjoyed both. The dough of both dishes were steamed nicely and the portion of the rice rolls were very impressive (6 shrimps per portion). Now the fried shrimp beancurd rolls were surprisingly extremely underrated. They were crispy on the outside yet the shrimp filling was bountiful and delicious, 100% worth ordering. XLB were forgettable. Unfortunately we did also order the pork spare ribs in black bean sauce and siu mai but they never arrived so we ended up canceling them.

    The pork and shrimp siu mai was well seasoned with a slight juicy snap to the texture. The crispy…read moretaro puffs were also good, with a light, crispy exterior and a dense filling. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty, although I wish the portion was more generous. The liu sha bao was soft and fluffy with a creamy custard filling. The roasted suckling pig had a crispy skin, but I didn't enjoy the flavor since it was too herby and heavily spiced. The calamari was okay and wasn't as crispy as I expected. The Chinese broccoli was too firm and undercooked.

    Haven't been back to Pearl Bay for a while and decided to meet for dim sum here with some friends…read more At 11:20am on a Saturday, parking was really hard to come by already. We circled around for seven minutes and finally got one. The restaurant was busy and vibrant. Two huge screen TV's going and basically a full house. Good thing they take reservations! Service was decent considering how busy they were. Food came out at a good pace. The six of us shared: shrimp dumplings 蝦餃, beef balls 牛肉丸, bean curd skin rolls 鮮竹卷, rice noodle rolls with shrimp 鮮蝦腸粉, rice noodle rolls with minced beef 牛肉腸粉, Chinese sausage buns 臘腸卷, steamed chive and shrimp dumplings 蒸韮菜餃, pan fried chive dumplings 煎韮菜餅, baked BBQ pork buns 焗义燒飽, goji berry and osmanthus jelly 杞子桂花糕, and deep fried pumpkin balls 南瓜煎堆。Everything tasted good and authentic. This is a pretty solid dim sum spot and prices are reasonable.

    I was really impressed! The service wasn't amazing unfortunately, but all of the dishes my party…read moreordered were hits! Everything tasted fresh and not too greasy. For me, the Crispy Rice Noodle with Shrimp! These were purple for some reason... but SO DELICIOUS! Even with the donut inside, it wasn't soggy at all. The Beef Chowfun was also incredible and seasoned perfectly. My least favorites were the dumplings personally... the wrappers were just way too thick for my preference. So I would suggest anything else, especially the seafood!

    My most recent visit [Saturday 08/22/26] was so very disappointing!!…read more Came here to enjoy brunch with my family. Our entire party consisted of 6 people and although there was a lot of hustle and bustle, we were able to be seated fairly quickly regardless of us not having reservations. I came here anticipating a wonderful experience and assumed I would be wowing my family with their very first visit with HL Peninsula Restaurant. While the visit was something they wouldn't soon forget, it wasn't exactly over something positive. Menus were provided and the young gentleman asked what kind of tea we wanted. We responded with the typical "chrysanthemum" and went on with viewing the menu. We meticulously wiped down the dinnerware and the tea pot arrives. Cups are filled and a bug is found floating in one of the cups. Since there were a few gnats flying about in the restaurant, I just assumed the gnat landed in the cup and died. I flag an employee and hand off the cup while requesting for a new one. New one arrives and I fill it up with tea. Again, THERE IS ANOTHER BUG. AT THIS POINT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE BUGS ARE COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE TEA KETTLE. Our entire fam stopped drinking the tea and I am forced to flag down yet another worker- this time someone more higher up. The gentleman immediately nods his head and grabs the tea kettle. NO APOLOGY, NO QUESTIONING MY ALLEGATION, NOTHING!!! Another staff member comes out with another tea kettle of chrysanthemum and I immediately decline. I request to have jasmine instead. Good move on our part because the jasmine loose tea was not bug infested. Brunch consisted of: * SALT AND PEPPER CRAB [LIVE CRAB @ 2.2LBS] * PENINSULA HOUSE FRIED RICE * SWEET & SOUR SPARE RIBS W/ FRESH PINEAPPLES * A4 WAGYU BEEF + ASPARAGUS W/ BLACK PEPPER * SHRIMP DUMPLING * PORK AND CRAB ROE SIU MAI * CHRYSANTHEMUM TEA Food was honestly really good. The tea situation was terrible and it says a lot when the employees didn't even bat an eye about the bug complaint. He calmly nodded his head and took the tea kettle which tells me the staff knew there were bugs in there. The biggest issue is not receiving a simple "sorry" over the disgusting mishap and me knowing damn well that HL Peninsula Restaurant will continuously serve that bug infested loose chrysanthemum tea. Do better, y'all. With all the money that you guys make, you can manage dumping that bulk tea purchased from China.
