Bustling dim sum institution with koi pond and live seafood
"There’s a reason Koi Palace is the dim sum gold standard in the Bay Area, and this bustling, ornate location of the famed restaurant is no exception. The xiao long bao are delicate yet juicy, bursting with soup that’s hot enough to burn your tongue, but so delicious that you won’t be mad about it. The baked pork buns are perfectly flaky, and if you’re with a group, the whole roast duck is a must. Arrive early, grab a number, and be ready to battle it out with the weekend crowds, because once you get a taste, you’ll understand why this place has been a Daly City institution for decades." - gabi moskowitz, patrick wong

"A dim sum hotspot translated into an airport setting, bringing Cantonese-style small plates and classic dim sum items to travelers seeking authentic Asian flavors." - Rachel Chang
"For a celebratory feast I ordered the Peking Duck Set Menu (six impressive dishes for $188 when shared by four), which began with jiggly soup dumplings and peaked with paper-thin roasted duck slices folded into perfectly imperfect buns with green onion and hoisin — the duck practically melts away — and continued with gingery duck bone soup and a bowl of gelatinous fish maw with five-spice-scented duck confit; the legacy restaurant’s massive dining room, vaulted ceilings, and festive decor make it a perennial spot for large parties even after more than 25 years in business." - Eater Staff
"Recognized as a semifinalist in the Outstanding Restaurant category, Daly City dim sum legend Koi Palace was highlighted on the James Beard long list." - Dianne de Guzman
