We had dinner at HL Peninsula Pearl Restaurant on 2/1, and it turned into a nightmare for my entire family.
To begin with, the service was extremely slow — we waited over 45 minutes for our dishes. Unfortunately, the long wait was only the start of a much worse experience.
Within hours after the meal, I developed severe diarrhea and intense stomach pain that lasted over a week. My condition became so serious that I had to go to the Emergency Room at SFGHl for treatment. Sadly, I was not the only one affected — my wife and other family members all experienced the same symptoms, including diarrhea and upset stomach.
This was not a mild stomach issue; it was serious food-borne illness–level symptoms that caused significant suffering and disrupted our daily lives. When multiple people at the same table fall ill after dining at the same restaurant, it raises serious concerns about food safety, handling, and hygiene.
Between the unacceptable wait time and the severe health consequences, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. We will never return, and I strongly urge others to be cautious.

Great place to have a fancy, banquet-style Chinese meal. We didn’t get to try their dim sum, but I loved almost every dish we ordered. My favorites were probably the Peking Duck and Lobster. The steamed fish was also very tender and tasted fresh. Prices are high, to be expected considering the location, but it was worth it. Service was good and dishes came out in a timely manner. I would love to come back to try the dim sum.

The view is really pretty you can see the planes fly and the beautiful blue bay water. The food was really good and you can have a hotpot there which my daughter and her friends love. Some of the food was a bit too bland and didn’t have enough flavor and seasoning. They were a bit slow when it came for service but overall our experience was really great!

One of the best dim sum place on the peninsula. And also has a great view of the plane take off and landing.
Their lunch dimsum is very crowded so either go there early before 11:00 or after 1:00 p.m.

Since they remove the outdoor dining, they now direct overflow to the next door hotpot place, which also serve dim sums during lunch hour.

They also have good dinner banquet menu that are reasonably priced, especially there holiday dinner banquet menu.
But I always prefer banquet menus that are Tailor to our favorite dishes. Yes it will be more expensive than their set menu but at least all the dishes we will enjoy.
You can always request dishes that you like from other restaurants, if they can do it, they would make it for you.

This is a Cantonese dim sum restaurant. As compared to others of this caliber (any restaurant offering specialized teas), I found the food so so. The liquid gold buns (I do not know what the correct name is – see picture) was not liquid; it was on the solid side. As you can see from the pictures, the sauces on the dishes was kind of gelled. For dim sum, food should be temperature hot, otherwise, it gels up. Service was okay. I had to flag the server many times to refill the teapot. This restaurant is a favorite for Chinese banquets like for a wedding or red egg ginger baby party because it seats 500 people with no obstructed view. It also has t.v. monitors so if the emcee or someone is speaking, you will be able to see it from any table. There is a public parking lot. Our wait time was 30 minutes.

Had a wonderful experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There’s a wide variety of dim sum options to choose from, and each dish was served in generous portions. I always love the feng zhao, siu mai, and dan tat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting as well, making it a great spot for casual meals with family. Service was attentive and friendly, with staff regularly checking in to make sure everything was perfect. Overall, a great place for quality dim sum with an impressive selection and excellent hospitality. Highly recommend!

TLDR: great food and beautiful location but pricey for dim sum

We really enjoyed all the food, the shrimp dumpling, siu mai, and other assorted dim sum were very enjoyable. The skin on the har gow was just right without being too sticky, the chicken feet were tender and not too spicy. The service was good and the view is pretty but the price is very expensive, $7.10 for a small dish with most dishes being medium at $8.10 for four pieces is a bit high.

Have always came here for proper dimsum. Authentic, reasonably priced, and flavorful. There’s usually always a line so make sure to either make appointment or come in earlier. Service is pretty good, people kept on checking on us and we never ran out of tea 🙂 ambiance was a little loud, but the table arrangement was pretty good and following the conduct.
The fried chow fun was the star of the show, the second star was the crispy prawn wrapped with rice roll. Congee was good but a tad bland, the egg yolk custard bun was amaaaazing and melted (watch out it’s very hot inside). The short ribs is also good!

July 2024:
Came here for dinner with a few out of town guests. We got seated at a big table by the window on the Bay side. It’s really nice to see the planes descend as they approach the SFO airport.

Food wise, everything was excellent . I’m not sure why this place doesn’t get a higher rating on Google maps.

Favorites included the white chicken, vermicelli noodles, pea sprouts, beef stir fry, fish stir fry.

There’s a large TV screen that they use to celebrate people’s birthdays. I thought it was fun to see.

Overall, would definitely come back again for more delicious dinner food!
