This waterfront gem offers a contemporary twist on Cantonese cuisine, featuring fantastic dim sum, attentive service, and stunning harbor views.
"Of course, Dungeness often makes a dramatic appearance at upscale dim sum spots, and Harborview does not disappoint when it comes to bay views and crab specials. Feast on whole crab, either smothered in Singapore-style chiles or deep-fried and golden in the classic salt and pepper. Or take comfort in a big bowl of congee with either a half or whole crab sunk into the porridge." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"Run by members of the R&G Lounge crew, Harborview is more than just a swanky banquet space with nice views of the water. It also serves some of the city’s favorite dim sum, turning out consistently solid versions of all the standards including har gow, siu mai, and baked barbecue pork buns." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Run by members of the R&G Lounge crew, Harborview is more than just a swanky banquet space with views of the water. It’s also serving some of the tastiest dim sum in the city, turning out consistently solid versions of all the standards, from har gow to siu mai to baked barbecue pork buns. The restaurant has an extensive takeout menu that includes dim sum, family-style entrees, and prix-fixe meals — and even Dungeness crab." - Lena Park, Eater Staff
"Harborview on the Embarcadero is where we go for a fancy dim sum experience and a view of the bay (the restaurant looks out over the Ferry Building). They’re offering a $65 set menu this Restaurant Week. You’ll get a deep-fried shrimp ball, cream of corn soup with crab morsels, a seared whole scallop, steak tenderloin with garlic noodles, and a chef’s choice dessert. " - ricky rodriguez
"With its massive space on the Embarcadero just a quick walk from the Ferry Building and across the street from the waterfront, Harborview has become a dim sum institution in San Francisco. It’s from the original owner of R&G Lounge in Chinatown, so expect not only an extensive menu of staples including dumplings, chicken feet, and fried pot stickers, but also impressive views of the Bay Bridge from the upper patio. For dinner, the Michelin Guide calls out the “crispy, golden-brown Peking duck, served with crunchy cucumber and scallions, steamed buns and a decadent house-made sauce.”" - Lauren Saria
