    Lunch Special- Meat combo, 2 kinds
    Meg C.

    My second time to visit this place, this time I ordered their lunch menu - roasted pork and roasted duck with rice. It had a complete meal with soup and vegetables. The meats were delicious, the steamed cabbage was tasty, and the egg drop soup was great. Service was excellent- fast and efficient. The place was as neat as always.

    Ocean Pearl is my parents' go-to Chinese dinner on a weekly basis. They're so regular here they've made friends with some of the staff who let them call to make special reservations lol I've come here twice with my family and each time we've had a wonderful meal. Ocean Pearl is located in Milpitas Square off Barber Lane. It is the very last building to the left. The inside is split into 2 main rooms - the first a small waiting room with an area to order roast duck/pork to-go, and a larger dining area with big round tables, lazy susans, and fish on display. Some of the dishes I've tried: - Roast pork - this comes in a half or full order. The meat is pretty standard, slightly dry. But the skin is nice and crisp. - Cold poached golden chicken - the star is the ginger scallion sauce that comes with this dish. The chicken meat is also juicy, but lotta bones. - Salted egg yolk fried shrimp - one of our favorites and is great fresh. Good crunchy shell and tasty salted egg yolk flavor. - Salt and pepper fried fish filets - another one of our favorites. This comes with jalapeno and garlic pieces. The batter is slightly sweet but airy. - Beef chow fun - great, greasy, beefy. Can't go wrong - Special combo fried rice - this has fish roe and crab with lap cheong. It's good, but not my personal favorite. - Stir fried pork belly with green beans - great option for fatty meat and some fiber. Service is quick and if we ever wanted to add a dish, it gets put in and comes out just as quickly. Every time we come out super full and with a ton of leftovers still. I see why my parents continue to return!

    Ordered the roast duck rice plate on Saturday evening, and it was just a few minutes wait for takeout, quick and easy. Service was standard. When I took it out of the bag, that container was heavy! Loaded with a generous amount of cabbage, rice, and chopped up duck. It was juicy and delicious without being too fatty. The only negative thing about my visit was the parking situation. The businesses in this plaza get far more visitors than the parking lot can handle on a weekend.

    Big Chinese restaurant in Milpitas. The parking lot can get super crowded, so definitely get there early. Chinese food was just okay and pricey. I would rather go to mayflower vs. Ocean Pearl. We had the following: - House Pan Fried noodle - 7/10. The noodles weren't crispy enough and thicker than usual - pea sprouts - 9/10. Good portion size and wok flavor - salt and pepper fish - 8/10. Nice light crispy batter - Singapore noodles - 7/10 - hot and sour soup - 7/10 - beef chow fun - 8/10 Service was a bit slow and we had to flag down the waitresses a few times. They have 2 clean single-stall bathrooms (1 for men and 1 for women).

    We came here on Saturday dinner after a concert . It was 7:45 pm . The parking lot was pretty full and we parked a little farther than walked back to the restaurant. Inside all the tables were taken. We waited 15 minutes two tables for 10 and one table for 4 were available. We took the table for 4. Most items on the menu are delicious. This is an authentic Cantonese style restaurant. Portion of the dinner dishes were huge ! Ingredients were fresh and I admired the cooking skill of the chef ! We ordered eight treasures seafood fried rice . It came inside a clay pot and a heating pad under to keep it warm while dinning . It had shrimps , cuttlefish, etc and was stirred fry enough to get the " wok chee " 鍋氣! I loved the steamed giant clams in garlic over cellphone noodles 蒜茸粉絲蒸貴妃蚌。This is the portion of only 2 giant clams . The juice were sweet and intensely aromatic. We ordered the French style beef cube . The sauce was super sweet ( sugar ) that I didn't prefer . The beef was tender and I could taste the baking soda they used to tenderize the beef . This was my least favorite dish . I loved the cooked vegetables pea sprouts tips in minced garlic and covered with dried scallop gravy. It was delicious and healthy. Huge portion. We had a party of four and almost could not finish eating it . There were many other items on the menu . It looked good and we would be back soon !

    Good local spot for traditional Cantonese style flavors as well as roasted duck, pork belly, and soy sauce chicken! I've been here a handful of times and usually order the same dishes. Here's what I would recommend: ginger scallion lobster (they usually have a deal for 2 - 1lb lobsters for around $40+ dollars), salt and pepper chicken wings, pan-fried noodles with seafood, beef stir fry with mushrooms and bell peppers, seafood clay pot, side order of roasted duck or pork belly! They also serve complimentary sweet green bean dessert at the end of your meal. Overall prices are $25+ on average per dish, good portion for sharing with family, but yes on the pricey side. I like coming to this restaurant because it's smaller than most other Chinese restaurants, the max occupancy is about ~100 people. It does get busy but if you can come earlier for dinner at 5:30pm or so you should be fine. #25-12-15

    Expect to wait to be seated. Really good dinner menu. Lots of wok hei in stir fries and noodles, best fried rice I've had in a long time. Good quality meats and seafood at very fair prices. Recommend their drier vegetable stir fries, duck, and clam soup to my taste. Others as well like beef stir fries and fish maw soup. Because they are so busy you might have to tell multiple servers to recieve water, etc but nothing crazy. Solid spot busy for a reason.

    We thought it was a dim sum but it's not. It was family large portion Chinese food. Peking duck was so good beef chowmein is huge portion and soup was good for family sharing. Quick service to order. Nice and clean restaurant with good amount of tables , typical Chinese restaurant I the area

    Seafood fried rice (4 stars)
    Victor L.

    The quick rundown for you: + Sichuan string beans with pork belly is a generous portion with lots of meat and not overly spicy where my 11yo daughter can eat it (5 stars) + Beef with mushrooms and bell peppers were my kids' favorite because their meat is tender and cooked medium rare. The kids didn't eat the veggies but they devoured all of the protein. (5 stars) + Seafood fried rice has a salted egg flavor with lots of shrimp and assorted seafood. My wife came all the way here for this dish. I felt like it was better the first time we ate it many months ago. (4 stars) ~ Ambiance is quite nice for a Cantonese style restaurant serving bbq but don't come too late because all of the bbq meats were not available around 8pm (3 stars) - Service is so so here but we did come near closing time. Water didn't get refilled as much as we'd like. (3 stars) Hope this helps someone who's hungry for decent Chinese food!

    Very authentic Cantonese food. Portions are very good. Service is pretty fast also. The bbq meat here is very good. The chow fun had great Wok-hei. The rice rolls were solid. Restaurant is modern and clean. No wait on a Saturday lunch.

    Consistent, but Not Quite What It Used to Be Overall Impression Having visited a year ago, I decided to stop back in to see if this spot still held up. While the meal is still a solid, dependable option, I noticed some distinct changes since my last visit. One silver lining? There is no longer a long line to deal with, making it a much faster "in and out" for a weekday lunch. Food Quality & Portions I opted for the Weekday Lunch Special, which comes as a complete set: soup, vegetables, rice, chicken, and BBQ pork. The presentation remains beautiful and clean. However, compared to my experience last year, the portion sizes feel smaller. The flavors are still "average-good"--reliable and satisfying, but lacking that punch of seasoning that makes a dish truly stand out. Value & Atmosphere The pricing is still very reasonable for the variety you receive, making it a budget-friendly pick in a mall filled with more expensive choices. The atmosphere is calm and the service is attentive, likely because the crowds have thinned out. Suggestions for the Kitchen While the meal is pleasant, I think it's time for a menu refresh. With so much competition nearby and the portions decreasing, introducing some new, bold lunch items would definitely help bring back that "must-visit" energy. Recommendation A reliable choice for a quick, no-fuss lunch. Great if you're in a hurry since the long lines are a thing of the past, but keep your expectations tempered regarding the portion sizes

    Came here with my parents on a Tuesday night around 6 pm. Service was excellent and efficient. The food was delicious! My parents and I absolutely loved everything we ordered. My favorite was the chicken clay pot( in the photo) , so full of flavor. Portions are huge too. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

It's a good thing we did because the restaurant filled up completely 5 minutes after ordering. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern, they have some art up on the wall that was cool to look at. The food was definitely the star though. We tried the BBQ pork and shrimp noodle rolls. Both were really good but my favorite was still the shrimp. I loved the veggies in the roll too. They can be a bit hard to pick up and eat because they're massive and cut into thirds. Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting. It comes out PIPING hot so don't burn your tongue. Fish was tender and flavorful. Overall no complaints and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

It is next to the Hui Lau Shan, which is great when we want dessert after This restaurant is very unique, as most of the dishes main component is mushrooms, which provide a different umami taste than regular dishes. We have tried the crispy silkworms, tom yum fried chicken, beef noodle soup, mushroom hot pot, chicken liver pate and yao tiao, laksa fried rice, stir fry cheung fun, wild mushroom conserva. Out of everything, I definitely recommend the tom yum fried chicken, mushroom hot pot and the laksa fried rice! Although the fried chicken doesn't have tom yum flavor, they fry the chicken very well, and the tom yum dipping sauce is on pointtt. The mushroom hot pot is definitely a favorite of mine. They give a lot of food -- it is warm, comforting. The broth also has a lot of flavor as well. The fried rice is definitely a top fave. They do a wonderful job incorporating the wok hei, which not a lot of restaurants can do. It is very present throughout the rice, and elevates the rice past the laksa flavor. The pineapple was a great touch and give it a hint of sweetness. I would pass on the wild mushroom conservative. It feels like they just stirfry it in butter, and that was it. I like the silkworm, but I know it's not for everyone. It is crunchy and it tastes kind of like peanut butter LOL. it is a great appetizer. I'm glad this place offers it. I think I've gotten a couple drinks -- alcoholic, and non-alcoholic. Also one of their ice creams. They didn't really leave a standout impression on me but still good to try!

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.

There were only a few dishes I didn't like. Here is what our table ordered: Peking duck: 7/10 While I often enjoy Peking duck, especially with the fluffy bao buns, this Peking duck didn't taste quite as good as others I have had elsewhere. While it was crispy and rich, it didn't have a whole lot of flavor, which was a little disappointing because it got overpowered by the bao buns. Honey walnut prawns: 9/10 I'm a huge fan of honey walnut prawns, they are my favorite at any Chinese banquet lunch. While the flavor was on point for this dish, it lacked crispness despite being the second dish to arrive. Curry chicken: 10/10 Probably my favorite meal here. I don't see curry chicken being served often, but this was amazing. Rich and creamy broth, and the chicken was tender and thinly sliced. Would come back here just for this dish. Sweet and sour pork: 9/10 Another good dish, pork was tender and sauce had a good ratio of sweet to sour. Braised tofu with mushroom: 6/10 This was probably one of my least favorites. The tofu was almost little leathery on the outside, which gave a weird mouthfeel. Other than that, the sauce was alright, and the mushrooms were good. House combination pan fried crispy noodle: 10/10 I absolutely loved these! I really enjoy the noodles with a combination of crispy and drenched in sauce, and this dish gave exactly that. The noodles somehow stayed crispy for the duration of the dinner, which was great. Pan fried noodles with soy sauce: N/A Didn't try it, but it looked good! Salted fish with chicken fried rice: 7/10 While the flavor on the rice was pleasant, with a good mix in of vegetables and chicken, the fish was extremely salty. Each tiny chunk of fish was like a sodium explosion. I thought it was good if you eat around the fish.

We ordered the chive and shrimp pancakes, soup dumplings ( HAD A SIMILAR TASTE LIKE DING TAI FUNG ) salt & pepper calamari, beef chow fun noodles, and garlic green beans. We absolutely loved the chili paste/oil they provided. Every dish was packed with great flavor, and the service was fast and easy. Everything came out in a timely manner, which made the whole experience even better. There's also plenty of parking, no reservations are needed, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other dim sum spots. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu!

    This restaurant has been around for a long time serving Cantonese cuisine in Milpitas. They have…read moredim sum available during lunch in addition to their regular menu items. A few dishes they do well here are the salt and pepper spare ribs (pork chop), salt and pepper fish fillet, dried scallop with egg fried rice - all their varieties of fried rice are yummy. Servers are courteous but if the restaurant is busy, servers don't come around as often as they should. You may have to flag them down. I recommend asking for everything up front if you don't see what you want at your table. For example, certain condiments or dipping sauces for your dim sum or glasses of water, extra napkins, etc. Request that stuff when the wait staff first show up or when you order. The ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant. Simple and clean enough considering how long this restaurant has been in business. Nice chandeliers. Busy on the weekends for those coming in for dim sum. Restaurant is a decent size and has tables that are good for larger parties as well. Located in a busy plaza which houses many eateries near Lion Supermarket.
