Koi Palace
The honey walnut shrimp was very good! The breading was thin and the shrimps were juicy and not overcooked. The sauce had traces of acidity, i am guessing from lemon juice — very much needed and often neglected in many honey walnut shrimp dishes. The baked cod was very good! This recent one was a tad overcooked. Thankfully because the cod had a high fat content, it was more forgiving, otherwise it would be totally dry inside. The marinade worked well, so was the dipping sauce. The lobster noodles were spot on! The lobster was cooked perfectly, so were the noodles. The sauce for the noodles was not too much, the noodles were perfectly soft. The beef cubes were excellent! The beef were cut a tad too big. The sauce worked, and was aromatic and semi sweet. The mushrooms and other veggies worked great to give the dish its vibrant color. Found a shrimp with the intestine still intact. Some inconsistencies here and there. I have been here many times.
Still quite popular after 30 plus years, Koi Palace offers upscale and expensive Cantonese dim sum and seafood dining near Serramonte mall. Dim sum is one of their claims to fame, but I found the wrappings too soft and they fell apart when picking up a dumpling with chopsticks. Perhaps they added too much water to the four mix. Picky. The savory dishes were sweet, and the sweet items were too sweet. The recessed lighting and darker atmosphere adds a little sophistication, compared to the bright white LED lighting you find in most Chinese restaurants. The central dining area has nice lighting and higher ceilings. The area off to the side has lower ceilings and makes the noise level very high. Everyone has to yell to be heard. Many tables ordered their more expensive seafood items such as Lobster noodles, steamed crab, crab noodles, abalone noodles. Maybe that's the ticket. Service was good. Our waiter was quite friendly and accommodating. We weren't bothered by the rude and pushy guys in the dark suits with the earpiece. Koi Palace is a good place to go to if you want to splurge and or impress your family or friends with an expensive Chinese lunch or dinner. Just go on a weekday...if you want to be heard or even hear yourself talk.
Woohao Chinese Restaurant
The first time for our family. The food is fresh and taste good. We love every menu. We didn't expect much but you make me surprised. Your food is super delicious as any Chinese food I ' very ever been in this area.
We were looking for a new dim sum restaurant to try and found this dim sum . Dim sum was good often but can have hits and misses. We tried the shrimp dumpling, siu mai, congress, rice noodles, beef tribes, chives dumpling. The special dish fried noodles was wonderful one time and so so the other time (see picture). The waiter and waitress are friendly and responsive. This restaurant is more Canton style than Hong Kong style. Recommend if you are looking for a new dim sum restaurant to try. The $35 for two fish dishes makes a good deal. We have experienced some hits and misses, and wonder if there maybe a team A and team B for the restaurant.
