HL Peninsula Pearl

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.

Very nice up scale dim sum. Little more pricier, but food was good and we had a very good waiter. Had reservations on a Tuesday at 12:30pm, and they were still busy. About a 20 minute wait. Our group had a table next to the window.... what a great view of the bay. Seeing airplanes land and the splendor of the bay.

We stopped here after our flight from Seattle to SF. What an amazing view of the planes coming in. The dim sum is great as well. We got here at 1030am when it first opened on a Monday and the place filled up fast. Since it was during the week they did not have a dim sum cart, everything was ordered from the dim sum paper and arrived fresh. Not sure if they offer dim sum cart on the weekend or not.

The dim sum is not bad here. We arrived at 11:30 am on a Friday and got a table right away. There was huge line after we arrived at 12pm. The food came out fairly quickly and we devoured it. I do like the ordering system where there are pictures of the food and you get to mark up the dim sum brochure. We had four non-Chinese friends with us and it was helpful for them because they don't read Chinese. In term of quality of the dim sum, I had better at other restaurants. These were decent. The lobster noodles $44 were OK. Not great. It was a tiny lobster with hardly any meat. The highlight for me was the giant zongzi, a sticky rice with meats wrapped in lotus leaves. This is not to be confused with lo mai gai, chicken with other meats lotus leaves wrap. Those are smaller and come in two's in a standard steamer. Overall, good job staff at HL Peninsula. We had a good lunch today.

1590 Old Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame, CA 94010 is my go-to pizza spot in Burlingame, CA. They are very punctual with their orders and never keep me waiting. They always are nice and courteous to me when I pick up an order. They have so many options to choose from which is great.
