A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
A really great dim sum place (you can’t tell by the name, but apparently the Chinese name is more representative). Quality of all the dishes we got was great (from the Siu mai and hargow to the fried rice and chow mein).
Definitely coming back here for dim sum / brunch.
We went to this restaurant, and ordered wayyy to much food. However, food was great.
We started off with the Pu-Pu platter (Ben partly got it because of the name). It’s actually a great deal if you have more than 2 people (and from what I remember, all the samplers were good). What you get: spring rolls, spare ribs, beef teriyaki, spare ribs, crab cake.
For the mains, we got the chow fun with beef, and some sort of chicken dish. I remember the chicken dish being slightly salty.

This is a great American style dim sum place.
The lobster filled dumpling along with the scallop Siu Mai are by far the best dishes. Also, would get the soft shell crab and fish (pictured below) again. The deep fried dumpling, and the soup filled dumpling, and the green dumpling below were good. I would not get the swan looking dumpling (looks good, didn’t like the taste or texture).
Finishing off with the egg tart was great. As for the drink, I didn’t care too much for it. Also, even though they served various sauces on an interesting palette plate, I also didn’t really care too much for them.
A great dim sum place in The Palazzo hotel.
Everything pictured below, except the soup filled dumplings, were really good. And price wise, not bad.
Ok, so I give this restaurant several thumbs up.
First off, they have lychee martini as the first drink in their cocktail menu. 👌
For the food, I would get everything again (except maybe the mussels). We ordered a nicely peppered Dungeness crab, hot and sour soup, calamari, oxtail, chow mein, fried rice, and one other fried dish (I wanna say short ribs).
We popped into this place before catching a show on Broadway that was at 7pm. Service here was fast, and we were out within an hour.
We ordered a bunch of dishes to share. The only dish I wouldn’t get again from below is the “Ramen” (I would barely call that dish a ramen… it was basically noodles and beef in soup). Everything else was great (although the Michelin recommended bun didn’t seem too special, but I would get it again).
Great dim sum place that also serves beer on tap. I got my Asian beer of choice, Sapporo.
For ordering, we ordered the usuals (hargow, sui Mai), pork XLB (soup dumpling), pork gyoza, and a couple of other things (pictured below). Everything was great BUT the picture that has the straw with the giant dumpling (called the King Dum). I didn’t like it because of the effort to eat it.
By far the best place for dim sum in SF. We ordered so many dishes, not sure what most of them were called. I will give a shout out to the Sui mai and the hargow though.
A vegetarian friend was visiting, and we were hungry, so we decided to try this place out.
We got the hot and sour soup, crispy chow main, vegetarian spring rolls, some “beef” dish, vegetarian dumplings, and some “tofu” dish. I would get everything again but the chow main (and possibly not get the tofu dish as it was a bit salty for my taste).
