Peninsula Seafood Restaurant

Delicious Dim Sum in Town. The price was affordable & the portion was quite big. The service was fast and the waitresses were friendly. We ordered several dimsums such as shrimp dumpling, tofu, and shrimp w/ chive ball. Every menu taste good. U could ask for the chili oil, and there was sriracha taste. Plenty tables for u to seat and the resto was clean.

Disappointed. Ordered chichen chow mein and chicken fried rice. Ordered a pork dim sum and bbq pork dim sum and tea. The food was fresh. But all lacked flavor including the tea. We were the only customers for 1/2 the meal then another couple walked in. Our service was quick. The place clean. The tip is part of the bill automatically(warning). But in this area, there are so many restaurants to select from...i'm guessing we picked the wrong one...

Food here is decent, but nothing "wow." They were very understaffed and there was only one waitress running around. For what you get, it's a bit overpriced - but that's also just Chinatown in general. Decor could use some updating - very dated.

It is next to other two Sim Sum places. Jackson street is the heaven for Dim Sum. Tea is $2.25 per person, higher than other two places. But their single item is cheaper than other two. Bathroom is kind of messy and old style. Service is okay. Food is good except Bee’s Nest Taro Puff which is kind sour.

This restaurant is a great spot for dim sum in Chinatown. There usually isn’t a line, even when I’ve come on a Saturday around lunch. The food was good and the service is pretty quick. The food is pretty good for what you pay.

This place doesn't have the best dim sum, or the fanciest decor (closer to garish than stylish), or the most attentive service (on par with other Chinese spots), but it does everything well enough at a price that's not too crazy in tourist trap-laden Chinatown that it's not a bad place to eat if you really must have Chinese food in this area. I did enjoy their freshly fried rice puffs with minced pork (the best of any restaurant I have been to) and all the other dim sum standard dishes were decent. If you can get a server's attention, they provide efficient service for a good meal.

We gave a concert here 140 guests for the Association for Chinese Families of the Disabled (ACFD). Basically a reception first for 30 minutes, then one and a half hours and nine course menu. and then a two set concert of Voice Over Piano. The service was good and they weren’t disturbing the concert at all, as the mainly Chinese audience was also absolutely silent. Organizing the concert was easy with them as they really fulfilled all needed things and expectations. By the way: also, because everything next to the concert was so good [food and ambient and service) we could raise almost to the half thousand dollars for the good cause.

$53. First off everything is going up. I mean it's San Francisco. Also I think what we were aiming for was an experience. I'm just glad that we went to an authentic restaurant. Food was good we got the bbq pork. Vegetable dim sums. Also fried rice.

My friend and I stopped by the Peninsula Seafood Restaurant after finding out Great Eastern next door is closed on Tuesdays. Upon entering, I noticed the unmanned lobby and a huge stain underneath the couch on the right hand side. We were motioned to sit at a table on the right hand side (at least the table cloth & chair looks clean!). A paper menu was bought out to us where we can mark what dim sum we would like to order. We ordered 6 dishes to share with leftovers to go: sesame ball, shrimp dumpling, shrimp rice noodle, green onion pancake, bean curd with pork, soy sauce chow mein. The sesame balls ended up to be fried glutinous rice dumplings with meat inside which we also liked so we didn't say anything. All the order dishes were bought out correctly. I would say the food is around 3 stars. The chow mein was actually thin egg noodles instead of the thicker chow mein noodles. Some noodles were hard and dry. What bought a star down was the lack of service after you're done with your meal. I had my hand up for a long time. I had servers walked right past me. I had a server saw me, continue walking and decided to change the tablecloth at the table next to us. It took a long time for someone to get our bill and boxes. It took some time again for them to pick up my credit card. When the charge came, I noticed they automatically charged your tips already! You don't get to choose!!! So despite service, they will charge whatever tips they deem fit!!! They definitely need to work on their customer service especially because the restaurant was not even full. Most of the time, servers were off the floor and in the back.

Went to the Great Star theatre for a comedy show last night. It was 8:40pm when we got out and this restaurant was right across the street. Sign said they close at 9 but the kind waitress still chose to seat us and brought us the menus. Husband and I both love dim sum so were glad to hear they would serve it! We got the har gao(shrimp dumpling), siu mai (pork), shrimp stuffed mushroom, shrimp and chive dumplings, salt and pepper chicken wings and the red bean sesame bun. While waiting for our food to arrive I read some Yelp reviews and one of them cautioned about this place being expensive. Oh well we were hungry and had already ordered. Since it was almost closing time I wondered if any of the food would be good but was beyond surprised at the taste, freshness and quality of all the dishes we ordered. Joyce the waitress had such a nice demeanor and we appreciated her service and talking to her . The place is huge inside and one wouldn't know from just sitting in the main hall. It was only when walking to the restroom that I saw that they have a big hall in the back, which I'm sure has seen some very busy weekend lunches. Price-wise, each dim sum dish was $10 and the wings were $16. Certainly not cheap but considering how expensive everything is these days, I actually didn't mind paying for the amazing taste. Joyce did mention that the dishes cost less at lunchtime so I'm definitely gonna come back during lunch hour. Also special mention of the vibe in Chinatown during a raining Saturday evening!

The tea was delicious! The place smelt very bad, almost like urine.... The food was quick, everything was okay EXCEPT THE PORK BUNS! I was super sad this was my favorite food and it was absolutely EXPIRED TASTING! I loved the free leaf tea.... The chow mein was decent and the spring rolls were delicious.... The place was not well kept at all! His customer service was okay just because it all came out very fast

Had an opportunity to explore asian culture while visiting San Francisco bay area. Went to this restaurant and had decent lunch for the money. Dumplings were fresh and full of flavor. However, restaurant did not have ambiance and it was somewhat ran down on the inside. Service was average. Prices were fair.

BEWARE!!!! I had dinner at Peninsula and should've taken note of the fact we were the only customers. Since it's one of the few restaurants open past 8 in Chinatown, I turned a blind eye to it. This restaurant is the definition of a tourist trap and is severely overpriced. Beyond both of these aspects, I found a roach leg in my food. That should be enough said about Peninsula.

I had the pleasure of eating at a fundraiser with beautiful music and beautiful dedicated people. The tables were packed. We were late. The soup got cold. The tablemates were so kind to save us the soup. My favorite dishes were the fried spareribs and fried fish. I am dreaming of eating some more. The chicken was crispy skinned. The lotus root with dried meat was awesome. Whoever picked the dishes did a great job. This was banquet style. The taro tapioca finished us off. I thought the restaurant had way too many negative reviews. It would be great for restaurant to clearly indicate on their menu that tips are automatically added and that tea and rice are extra charges. These are rough times. Zip airways makes everyone pay a la carte. Olden days, everything was included. Wait staff should explain and be upfront, but their English isn't quite good. I hope everybody tries their fried spareribs, finger in length long, like soaked in coffee. I am not talking about peking spareribs. Not that. Sorry no picture. Too busy eating. Their fried fish reminds me of fish and chips without the chips. Their fryer must be super big in the kitchen. Addendum: went back today to get the ribs to go. They are not on the menu. Secret chef special. Called "shern heung kunk" garlic signaturel rib dish. Unfortunately they ran out today. The chef has to marinate overnight. Tomorrow they will have it. Cost $22, to go. Addendum: they do add automatic tip. We went back tonight and they did have ribs, but it wasn't marinated enough. So, i have to go back a 3rd time another time. I had the fresh fish tofu $33 claypot and the mustard grerns. At night, tea and water is free.

Came in off the street because the nearby restaurant I wanted to eat in was not open for brunch during the week. Pretty routine Chinatown restaurant. Place needs to be updated. Dim sum was fine. Service OK. It was a cold morning and it stayed cold in the restaurant.

Enormous portions. Delicious foods. Must orders: Peking duck, surf clams, lobster noodles. 69/69

Rating was for food only. Food was delicious. Waitstaff very unfriendly or still asleep at the open of the restaurant.

We came here on Saturday during the Autumn Moon Festival. We originally wanted to go to another restaurant across the street but there was a long wait so we came here instead. There were a couple of open tables so we were seated immediately. We ordered our usual dim sum selections: har gow, siu mai, beef balls, rice noodle wraps, stuffed pepper, spare ribs with black beans, etc... There was a long wait for our food. Once we started eating we noticed that the taste was off on most of the dishes. The black bean spare ribs was very bland and there weren't many pieces of pork. It was cooked on top of pumpkin which I've never seen before. Maybe that's what made it taste weird. The sauce they use on the beef rice noodle wrap tasted bland. Not sweet at all and the rice wrap was way too thick.

Last week, my family and I went to San Francisco to take care of some business, and we stopped by this restaurant for breakfast. As we walked in, I noticed a male server who casually glanced at us before raising his arm and pointing to a small table by the wall and then turning away. I didn't pay much attention to it, as I am in the service industry myself and understand the real feelings of working long hours every day and doing physically demanding and monotonous work. However, what happened next was simply unbearable. We hadn't sat down for long when he came over and asked us what we wanted to drink,I told him we didn't want any caffeinated beverages and could we have a pot of hot water? His expression looked less than satisfied, and he responded coldly by saying that we would have to pay for hot water. I had never encountered a restaurant that charged for hot water before. Later, I saw that on their menu, it stated that hot water was $1.5 per person. Well, we ordered some snacks. The first one to arrive was the steamed Shao mai,The filling was OK, but the dough was not fresh. It was obvious that it had been sitting at room temperature for too long. Then came the shrimp dumplings, which had small shrimp and tasted average. The dumplings skin was not very tough, and it broke easily with chopsticks. The rice noodle roll skin was very thick and had a bad texture. The rest of the food was mediocre. During our meal, not a single server spoke to us. The busgirl who brought us the snacks would thank me every time she brought something, but she didn't respond to me at all. OK, we finished our meal and paid the bill. I called the male server over, and he still didn't say a word. He just wrote down the total of our bill on the paper where he had written down our orders. What century is this? They still write the bill by hand here. OK, I wrote the total of $41 on the receipt from my credit card, including a $1.5 tip, which was actually me paying for the hot water for him,I thought the matter was settled, but it wasn't. A few days later, I checked my mobile banking app and found that they had charged $44 from my credit card. What a nerve! They dared to change the total amount on my credit card and sneakily added $3 without my permission. When I saw the number, I realized that changing the "1" to a "4" and adding a zero would do the trick. This was the first time I'd encountered something like this, and it was clear that they would do anything to get away with it. I immediately contacted the bank to correct the situation. Today, I received an email from the bank informing me that they had refunded the $3 that was wrongly charged to me. The amount may not be large, but the nature of the incident is very serious. How could they do this for the first time? Has anyone else had a similar experience? I don't know if the restaurant owners were aware of this, but I'm telling you and everyone else that the behavior of the restaurant staff is highly immoral and disgusting. I also want to remind everyone to be cautious of the restaurant staff, as they are dirty and dishonest. This is a black establishment! DO NOT DINE HERE!!DO NOT DINE HERE!!

DO NOT GET SCAMMED HERE! I simply ordered a plate of Mongolian beef and a glass of water. The food was mediocre, very salty, and greasy. It took forever for the waitress to bring me my check but once I got it... It was higher than expected... higher than what the pricing on the menu was. But it didn't stop there... After giving the waitress my credit card she comes back with the receipt and I see that she has taken the liberty to add a hefty tip on and has already charged my credit card. When I confronted her, she stated that the tea had to be charged - even though I didn't order tea but she brought it and left it on the table. Also... She stated that the rest was for government tax - which is a complete lie. I know exactly how much the sales tax is in San Francisco it is 8.63%. Like other bad reviews have stated... this place is a tourist trap. And it is too bad that they have to be dishonest and scam people. I didn't mind that the place was empty, and just wanted to give them a try but they completely broke my trust. Scamming me out a few bucks made them lose my business which could have been in the hundreds or thousands... But that is how scammers do.

Went to Chinatown specifically looking for a dim sum restaurant. This would be a very early dinner (5:30), as we had skipped lunch and our feet were tired after a lot of walking. We didn't see the dim sum menu among the menus posted on the window, but a helpful waiter confirmed that they offered dim sum and brought out a menu and separate price list for us to review in English. Many dim sum items were priced at $8/"premium" were higher. We decided to eat here. This is a large restaurant with many tables, but we were the only patrons throughout the dinner. Given that it was early on a Monday evening, partronage was also light at nearby restaurants as well. The waiter sat us, and quickly brought a teapot with light tea, and gave us a plastic card with photos of offered dim sum menu options. (No prices on menu). We ordered four favorites -- (1) steamed BBQ pork buns (3 pieces); (2) Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce (large oval plate); (3) steamed pork, mushroom, and shrimp dumplings (4 pieces); and (4) sesame balls (3 pieces). The waiter also brought bottles of soy sauce and chili sauce to the table. The wait time was relatively long for our food to arrive, especially given that we were the only patrons but, that said, all was served piping hot And we weren't in a hurry. All of the food was good, but nothing stood out as truly outstanding. Both the pork buns and sesame balls were light on fillings, and we hardly tasted mushrooms in the dumplings. The large plate of Chinese broccoli tasted fresh, was fried as we like it (slightly crunchy), and was served with oyster sauce on the side. This was the perfect quantity of food for our dinner. Our total bill came to $48, which was a bit of a surprise as we thought that we ordered 4x$8 (or $32) items. Turns out that the Chinese broccoli was $14 -- granted, it was a large plate but this seems excessive to us for stir-fried greens. We recommend that the restaurant present menus to the patrons with prices clearly stated. Also, a $6.20 tip had already been added to our bill. We would have tipped for good service but don't like that this was assumed. I'll post a picture -- but be forewarned that the photo was taken after we had already been eating as I forgot earlier.

Your average Chinese restaurant that does dim sum in the daytime. Came here midday and had no wait, was able to mark down a few things and get our order put in..only for another waiter to come and say they didn't have one of the things (this happened twice lol). Food was ok, best was the steamed rice roll with shrimp although the sauce that usually comes with it lacked sweetness and was more on the soy side. Would pass on the "dumpling in soup" or their version of xiao long bao - skin was too thick and the meat was more like a meatball inside. I think I've been here before and the service and food used to be better but hopefully they'll pick back up as things ease back into "normal".

The food was pretty decent! I think my group and I were very hungry. We were not offered water, and handed hot tea instead (water and tea are $2 per person). We experienced bad service (it was to the point that we basically were not served) and didn't get the food we ordered. Then after we left the restaurant we were followed out and asked to modify our tip amount. You can find better food at the same price with better service.

Had a wonderful lunch! Yummy choices! Great service-- very friendly and attentive staff. Place was clean. Service was fast.

3.5 stars. I'm not sure why the bad reviews but it was not our experience today when we took shelter from the heavy rain, with time to kill and a craving for dim sum. With the exception of 2 other men who spoke with the waiter like regulars, we were the only customers for dim sum. Meanwhile, the tourists gather like sardines inside and out to dine at the place up a couple of storefronts because celebs have dined there. Hubby and I find that generally 5 dishes of dim sum more than suffice for us. The har gow or shrimp dumpling was plump with shrimp but the exterior rice wrapper although was delicate, fell apart soon after you put a chopstick to it. It was tasty. The siu mai, pork dumpling was very meaty and good. I enjoyed the vegetarian spring roll, crispy with overly salty filling. The fried taro ball was good too as well as the 2 small pieces of lotus wrapped sticky rice. We had 3 pieces of dim sum we couldn't finish so we took it home and I devoured the last spring roll as soon as we got home. The bill came to $35.50 with the tax and There was No service charge as stated by other reviewers. Hubby pre-calculated the cost of dishes and added the tax before the bill came and he said it was right bc he got $36. We added a nice tip to the bill. The other customer asked before he departed if they were open in New Years Day. The staff replied they were even opened Christmas and "you're asking about New Year's?" I'd rather eat here than get jammed into a restaurant just because celebrities ate there. COvid is still amongst us and the staff here all wore masks and there was no crowds and the dim sum was good. Everything came out hot and fresh.

It is next to other two Sim Sum places. Jackson street is the heaven for Dim Sum. Tea is $2.25 per person, higher than other two places. But their single item is cheaper than other two. Bathroom is kind of messy and old style. Service is okay. Food is good except Bee's Nest Taro Puff which is kind sour.

Service was ok. Waiters were good and on par. Food wasn't good. We ordered a stream beef soft noodle. The beef was soured and expired. Ordered a vegetable wait in a long time time with Chef haven't purchased the vegetable from on the local market yet. It is 11:30 a.m. in the morning! The Sweet Black Sesame Dumplings-the Sesame smell very old. I won't come back this restaurant. Most customers are there to chat and order their usual dishes and they know which dishes are good. We don't.!

Met three friends in San Francisco for our first SF Chinatown dim sum foray in four years! We were disappointed that several of our usual spots hadn't survived but decided to try out this restaurant on Jackson Street. We were excited to see all the menu choices and ordered way too much, but we enjoyed all the dishes. (Two in our party ordered in Chinese, so we I'm not sure what we ordered, but I approved of the choices!)

This review is for November 2023. My Auntie wants to dine here again and she ordered a feast for us. The food was good. We were the only diners in the whole restaurant during dinner time.

Due to paramount superstar @ Geary st has been close. I have to find new dim sum restaurants in the city. I found this place while I walking in China town. Big advertisement lower than 4 Yelp reviews and some old Chinese people sitting in the restaurant. That's make sure they have good food. I recommend shrimp noodle Sumei and Hakow. All of them is so authentic and delicious. For dessert, they have sweet black seasame dumpling which quite sweet but really good.

Excellent service. Food to order, came out quickly Hot and tasty dim sum. Lots of locals or regulars eating here. To me that is a good sign.

Great service and quick service as well. If I could give half stars I would give this place a 3.5/5. The food was enjoyable, but nothing out of this world. We tried the BBQ pork steamed buns (4/5), shrimp dumplings (3/5), and the chicken chow mein (3/5). Our waiter was very kind and helpful. The price was decent for the food and portions!

This was a very nice looking place at the border of Chinatown. We love dim sum and couldn't wait to try theirs. Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. The rice noodles filled with beef were very bland and I couldn't make out any beef. The siu mai were too ricey, couldn't make out meat either. The ribs were tasty but were oily. So were the deep fried shrimp rolls. They even had hidden oil pockets. Service was great though. Food came quickly.

food had no flavor. Customer service was terrible . They ignore you. And service their regulars only.

Didn't realize our fave Great Eastern next door is closed on Tuesday's so ate here just for convenience. Ordered dim sum and it was disappointing by comparison. Dishes were bland and flavorless. Could not even finish every thing we ordered. Full house though, full of senior locals presumably.

The worst services experience in a Chinese rest. The server demanding a tip I told him that I was not happy with meal,too much futty beef .Here a pic. Lack of understanding was nonexistent.! This was my 4th time so the server knows me already.

Well, the upside of this old-school Chinatown restaurant was that the veteran server was a funny guy who spouted one-liners like he was the Chinese Henny Youngman. The downside, on the other hand, was that the upside was the only upside I remember from my brief dining experience here. I suppose I should have gotten a clue from the fact that I was the only paying customer in the space at approximately 6:30PM. There was a table with what appeared to be relatives of the owner, including a guy in dark shades wearing a shiny gunmetal gray suit and spouting off at someone on his smartphone. I decided to order modestly starting first with the $10 Chicken Salad off their appetizer menu (photo: http://bit.ly/2SmriRU). It was rather tired and limp with an excess of vinegar and sesame seeds making it worse. The amount of chicken was paltry which was just as well since it wasn't that edible. The orange slices didn't help either. As a follow-up, I ordered the $11 Garlic Green Beans which were lacquered in sesame oil to the point of a skin conditioning treatment (photo: http://bit.ly/2LqiWYV). When I later went to the restroom, I noticed how huge the place really was with the back quite roomy for a huge wedding banquet. But that and a funny server only goes so far. Know what I mean? FOOD - 2 stars...a sad state of affairs AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...certainly spacious and rather frayed SERVICE - 3 stars...OK, he made me guffaw TOTAL - 2 stars...my fortune cookie said "A pleasant surprise is in store for you tonight"....NOT! RELATED - Lost in Chinatown? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2WoF1Z2

Service was great! Food was hot and prices were reasonable. Lots of locals. Ambience is what I expect of a chinese restaurant.

My friend and I came here a few days ago for dinner because we really liked the food we had the last time we came here on Easter Sunday. We were so happy that this place now has indoor dining during this pandemic. The Pot Stickers we had were so plump and juicy and filled with so much delicious stuff! My friend really enjoyed the Singapore Noodles and I really liked the Braised Noodles with Crab Meat--the portions were huge! The prices were reasonable for such great food. This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant and we plan to come here more often.

Dirty and disgusting... ordered dumplings and seafood in a clay pot. Dumplings were soggy, and the clay pot was more mushrooms and tofu than seafood. Flavor in both was non-existent.

Dim sum chicken feet. So delicious that we ordered 4x's. Second time eating here when I visit San Francisco Chinatown. Will come back for more

We had lunch here today and we were the only non-Chinese people in the restaurant. That's a good sign that the food is authentic! Everything we had was awesome and I would have given them 5 stars but they didn't know what to do with the Yelp check offer for a free eggroll. I showed it to one of the waiters and he nodded his head and walked away and that was the end of it, no free eggroll... We had a few dishes and they were all great. The shrimp and green onion dumplings were a favorite, basically pot stickers. The chicken and mushrooms buns were great, lots of ginger flavor and super soft steamed buns. The green onion pancakes were good but pretty greasy. Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce was nice and fresh, the sauce was yummy. The sesame balls were remarkable, they had just a slight crisp outer edge but inside they were super goey and delicious. This may sound weird but adding a little bit of hot sauce to those really made them pop, a bit of salt and heat really leveled out the sweetness. There were so many restaurants the choices were daunting. We took a chance on this one and were stoked as it was super tasty

Very limited dim sum menu. Decent interior with lots of seating. The spicy mussels were alright. Beef chow fun wasn't bad. Moo shoo pork was really good. Very expensive. A watercress dish was $22.

We came in just looking for a place to eat late at night. There wasn't any customers inside so we were nervous that they were closed. Luckily they were open and we were served delicious dim sum for dinner and was granted great service from the sweet lady working. Definitely recommend when visiting Chinatown to make a stop here. We'll be back!!!

Scrupulous Liar. Problematic tax and tip amount. I wanna give this place 0 star if it is an option. Let me explain why. We had dinner. It tastes okayish. Then the bill came. The boss hand-wrote prices and tax amount and a predetermined 20%+ tip for us -- excuse me? Isn't it up to us to decide how much tip we wanna give? Okay maybe 20% + is the new norm, but why are you multiplying 20%+ with the after-tax amount instead of pretax? Okay maybe that's also the new norm, but isn't sales tax 8.625%? Why did you wrote 10% tax instead? I asked her to explain, she said she was busy and that was what the machine said. Excuse me? It's your own hand-writing. I asked her for explanation again. She asked in return-- are you a tourist? I thought you were a tourist. Omg. If I were a tourist, am I supposed to get scammed? She even said, I thought you were Canadian. This disgusts me. At the same time we were arguing there's an another table also questioning about her self-prescribed 10% tax and self-written ridiculous tip amount. This boss is trying to scam money with her crew and this place deserves a zero star and a police investigation. I'll report her to related departments. We have to stop this.

BEWARE TOURIST TRAP!!! 4 main dishes + 4 dim sum + 1 pot of tea = $156.00 for a meal not worth 1 penny over $80. That also includes a $20 service fee and $2 per person for tea they just give you. Do not eat here unless you have money to burn. This is the very definition of a tourist TRAP.

we waited for our food for 30 minutes and when it came it was cold. our waiter basically threw our utensils and napkins on the table. food was okay but would be so much better if it was hot.

good service mr P. was very kind and hospitable. please let me see this young handsome man again.

This got to be one the worst restaurants around. Sometime the food in a restaurant is not so great, sometime the service is not timely, but the level of passive aggressive here is beyond the pale. I went there few weeks ago: (1) There were ants in their tea, and when you showed the waitress, she was totally unapolgetic: "oh, what do you want? another pot?" (2) Then they automatically charged 15% or 18% for the tip, for the poor service, probably knowing their service deserved 0% tip. The worst thing is, they added that 15% or 18% tip AFTER tax. When you ask the manager why? Her response was: "oh I don't know, the machine does it. It is automated, nothing we can do".

I don't know why this place is rated so poor. Actually food is good and everything else, service and ambiance are also okay. I remember this restaurant used to be way more crowded and better before. I would like to rate at least 4 stars.

TOTAL TOURIST TRAP: we were lured in by the food photos posted on the window. Alarm bell should have gone off by the fact that we were the only customers during lunch hours. We ordered 7 dim sums and a steamed fish. It took over 30 min for the food to trickle onto our table. After the meal, we asked for the bill and were told verbally that the price was $243.00. When we demanded a bill, the waitress hastily wrote up one with incorrect pricing. To avoid a confrontation, we just paid the bill and left. BEWARE of this restaurant. Eat at your own risk.

Several years later and after moving back the Bay from LA my family and I still come here regularly for dinner and dim sum. Like I said previously, this place cater to the local clientele and for some (non Cantonese/non-mandarin speakers) there may be a language barrier that affects your experience. It's not a fancy place and honestly it reflects the service style of most Asian establishments. Peninsula seafood excels with their dim sum dishes in the AM and if you're able to come with a friend that speaks Cantonese and/or knowns Cantonese cuisine in the evening, you're able to get a great dinner with delectable seafood dishes at night, family style. They are great with their giant steam clams, fresh steamed fish, clay pot rice, and an assortment of peppered flavor pork ribs. Etc. One dish we love is their egg battered, peppered crab similar to the ones at R&g lounge. Of a note, all seafood items (ie. Fish/crab/lobster) are priced by the lb. this is consistent with most establishments so be mindful when you order. For dim sum the standard hai gow and shu mai are made perfectly. I've heard they have amazing clay pot Rice and their egg tarts are on par. Like all dim sum restaurants you're charged the standard fee /person for tea. I noticed some reviews mentioning that. Let's be real, ALL dim sum restaurants do this..even your beloved Koi palace in Daly City. So if you don't mind the language barrier and diving into something new. This is your place. Be nice. Be courteous and research ahead which canto dish you want. They're likely have the standard Americanized Chinese dishes like beef and broccoli, sweet and sour pork, general Tso chicken as well haha. I know since my brother and I order those dishes as second generation Asian Americans.

I still stand what I say from the other post that I made about this restaurant. It just sucks though, because this is the dim sum place that my Aunty always wants to meet at for yem cha. So we go. Lol Still enjoy the food, and enjoy the company of my Aunty. So, wherever she wants to go, we will do it. I just don't like this restaurant in many ways. LOL

I saw on the outside window that they had sesame balls, one of my favorites! I decided to order some Togo, she said it would be around 10 minutes. She stayed on her call on speakerphone while I paid and barely spoke to me. I walked outside and realized the store I wanted to go to kill some time was closed so I waited in the lobby. I was the only person in the restaurant who didn't work there. 15 minutes later I still didn't have my order so I asked and the lady said yeah yeah they're cooking it right now. For being the only customer in the building, it took a long time and she was rude. The place is a ghost town for a reason; smelled weird & didn't look super clean.

The food was horrible! The beef was undercooked , and the pork had too much fat almost no meat. The tempura shrimp was raw. Our food came late then lady came out to tell us we didnt that what we were waiting for was not part of our order. Waitress came out and said hostess was wrong. We only had a couple of bites(it tasted like dish water. We complained that the food was horrible, Hostess said it was because we ordered too much. They still charged us full price. And she pressured us to order Sodas instead of water. All the food tasted horrible. That was Christmas Day 12/25/22! Happy Flippen Holidays! 1Z14V36V0302928625

CUSTOMER BE AWARE...This restaurant tried to scam me by charged extra for the orders never come. Now i am reading others post, apparently they did the same thing to other customer too. Too bad i didn't find out until now. Due to pandemic all of us eat at the tables outside the restaurant. Every time a waiteress bring out a dish to the table she will make a circle on the balance sheet to keep track quantity of dishes we ate and bill us. So when I asked for a check, a waitress(she claimed she is the restaurant mgr)said she needed a carbon copy of my order and the balance sheet verified all my order came out. I should of know something not right but i was too busy talking with my friends. So few orders never come but she went ahead and charge us by add those orders/circles on my balance sheet inside the kitchen without letting us know. That is consider CHEATING!!! Luckily i did count my circles/orders on the paper before she took it inside. After she came back, I noticed the paper have more circles/orders than before. I spoke fluent chinese and confronted her immediately, she was a bit panick and saying i thought other waitress brought you the food already and they forgot mark it. Whatever she tried to explained really didn't make any sense. At that point, all i care is don't ripped me off, so she made a correction on the check. In addition to that the service is very poor. Needless to say I will never come back again. Tip. Make sure you take a pic of the balance sheet and do your own calculation before requesting for the check if you don't want to get scam.

Yummy!!! I don't understand the low ratings and I feel like sometimes I can be a harsh critic. I liked this place. We got a wide variety of foods (such as rice dishes, friend potstickers, etc) and it has such a great taste. My only one thing was the chili sauce that was handed to me. The spoon looked like it hasn't been changed in ages. I also think someone mixed in soy sauce into the container because the chili sauce had a darker color and was way saltier than I was expecting.
