Palette Tea Garden & Dim Sum 彩苑

I have visited a couple of times. This is the most stable and upscale Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. Reservations are essential as it is often rather crowded! The food was never a disappointment, and every dish we ordered was delicious 👍 My favorite dish was the shrimp and walnuts, which was amazing. It would be nice to have some kind of call bell at the table because the restaurant is so big and it's hard to call the restaurant staff 😅

This place has a great atmosphere to bring guests visiting from out of town. Very pricey dim sum for small portions, taste is mediocre, presentation is decent, and wait time is super long on the weekends with or without reservations. Def not worth visiting often, quality of food has gone down over the years. Their overhyped duck is dry, flavorless and outrageously overpriced at $74...

My husband and I haven't been to this restaurant in a while and everything has changed. The delicious dishes are gone, replaced by expensive and unpalatable American Chinese food. It was very expensive and the two of us were shocked by the bill in the end. Mandatory 18% tip even if there are only two people. Tips and tax were $50. Will never come back to eat again. It tastes really bad. I hope you won’t come here.

I made a reservation yesterday for our family of 5- 3 adults and 2 kids. We ordered dumplings, crab fried rice, wagyu beef chowing, half duck, shrimp stuffed eggplants, and custard dumplings. The fried rice and duck tasted good. The shrimp stuffed eggplants were hard to chew since they put too much flour to make shrimp paste. It's disappointing that they automatically added 18% tip to our bill despite stating it in the menu that would only applicable to a party of 10.

Great atmosphere and delicious food, though a bit on the pricey side. I highly recommend the pork chop! They used to serve a soy sauce-based version, which I miss, but the salt and pepper pork chop is equally excellent. It’s tender, flavorful, and not overly fatty.

The service at Palette Tea Garden & Dim Sum was incredibly rude, which made the experience unpleasant. Although the food was decent, especially the crab, the Peking duck was overhyped and not worth it. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

We attended a banquet here and the food was amazing, the architecture and atmosphere is so beautiful. The food is a fusion of regular dim sum and high class foods, the service all food was amazing.

The XO Sauce & Wagyu fried rice was utterly unseasoned and tasteless, and the shrimp part of the Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant was chewy and flavorless as well. Otherwise, the food was decent, Salt & Pepper Calamari especially.
