Flower Lounge Restaurant

This Michelin-Rated Millbrae Dim Sum Restaurant Hong Kong Flower Lounge Has Closed for Good | Eater SF

"Recognized by the Michelin Guide for its dim sum, this Cantonese restaurant permanently closed on December 31 after the owner decided to retire and the lease was set to expire; former manager Albert Yau said the owners chose not to renew and the landlord plans to rent out the space after a remodel. Opened originally as the Mayflower Restaurant, it was a destination partly because of its impressive 550-person capacity and Michelin recognition, and the Guide noted the service as a high watermark for the Bay—staff described as “machine-like” in their efficacy and speed. The business’ official lifespan is disputed: the restaurant’s website says it had been open 20 years while KTSF26 reports some counts put it at more than three decades." - Paolo Bicchieri
