TLDR: very average food for higher prices and fish wasn’t fresh 2.5 stars Everything was just ok, nothing stood out as we would want to order again. They tried to sell us fish that looked pretty dead (not fresh) which was also a no-no. Also the honey walnut shrimp outside was soggy and not crisp.

I love this place! They have the best roast duck I’ve had in this area and I love coming back to get some. We also got their char siu and crispy pork and I loved them both! The crispy pork was very crispy at the top and tender at the bottom—it’s one of the best I’ve had. We also got their egg drop soup and yang zhou fried rice and both were very tasty and flavorful. Service is fine. We got seated quickly. We waited a little to order but I think that was because they were busy on that day The inside is very much like a typical Chinese restaurant with round tables and white porcelain tea cups and plates. They have a stand in the back where they hang the roast ducks which I love because it feels very nostalgic of Chinatown. Parking: There are not a lot of parking options nearby. We luckily found some street parking

The food was delicious, especially the stir-fried pork ribs – highly recommended! My son and nephew loved it. The eel rice is a must-order dish. The staff were very polite, helping to refill tea and greeting guests warmly. It’s a great choice for family or friends to dine together. There are also daily special dishes. Today, we ordered the braised pork belly for just $9.90 – such a great deal!

This place is very popular for people that just got off work in nearby restaurant or stores. Because this is one of the only restaurants that opens until 1:00 a.m.. As to the food, it is your very typical of Cantonese style dishes. In terms of taste, in my opinion that they are just above average. The best part is each of their dishes are very large portions and few dishes can feed lots of people. Plus they have two good size dinner areas. This would be my go-to place for late night dinner or snacks.

Absolutely unacceptable hygiene standards. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was beyond disgusting. Halfway through my meal, I found what was clearly a nostril hair embedded in my food. It wasn’t just a stray hair,it was thick, coarse, and unmistakable. I lost my appetite instantly and couldn’t believe something so vile made it onto my plate. When I brought it to the staff’s attention, the response was indifferent at best. No apology, no concern for food safety, just a casual offer to replace the dish,as if that could erase what I saw. If basic hygiene isn't a priority here, I truly worry about what else goes unnoticed in the kitchen. I strongly urge anyone who values cleanliness and health to think twice before dining here.

Incredible traditional “old school” Americanized Chinese food. Lots of the classic choices. Fresh hot and tasty. Generous with the sauces and the chicken was moist and delicious.

Recently went here looking for something in some hot food. Loved this place instantly. Food was good for sure and the staff super polite and helpful. The packaging was also good.

Simply the best service all around. Thank you Stephanie and Carol for making the order possible. You girls and your team were life savers. We called to place a catering order and they were so efficient and nice. Will definitely recommend

Not a doggie friendly but trail along bay enjoyed by kimmy. The restaurant is a classic Chinese dim sum set up with l arge open dining area on two floors. Views of bay are great. Especially view of planes landing at sfo. Once done with dining walk for miles along bay with your doggie. Walk from sfo to san mateo bridge. Highly recommend. Kimmy two paws 🐾 up.

Not super fancy. Not super pricey. But the food is excellent. I've been here twice and this is definitely my new affordable favorite on the Peninsula. The food comes out quick and the service is efficient and polite. The restaurant is well lit and pleasant to visit. Awesome views of the SF Bay and the SFO bound planes.

Good places for Dim Sum and Cantonese style food. Parking is difficult to come by during the weekend, but weekdays are fine. Services are efficient and polite. Food is tasty and fresh and good portions. You can also enjoy to watch the airplanes takes off and landing in SFO.

We had a 100th day celebration for my nephew at HL Peninsula Pearl. The set menu of 10 courses: lobster, soy sauce chicken, salted fish fried rice, etc. It was too much food . The restaurant looked out to the SF Airport runway. It’s situated near a few hotels in the area. Overall, the food was great.

Automatic gratuity of 16% added regardless of party size. This means you're pretty much ignored whenever you need anything. We never even had our teapot refreshed with hot water. Dim sum is old and has been reheated numerous times. We had to send a dish back and they didn't even offer to send out a new one...we think because there was nothing to send out. Dumplings all stuck together and not fresh either. Dishes were...strange. Thought we were ordering fish slices. Turned out it was crunchy, reconstituted dried fish with mah la (mouth numbing powder). It was not edible. Beef stew dish was slimey and had been reheated many times. 3 dishes plus a few dim sum items = $145 for 2 people. Took forever for someone to make eye contact to settle the bill. Will NOT be back!

Authentic dim sum experience, frequented by local families and large groups. The Garden side is the same as the next door, bigger restaurants but with smaller parties. Standard menu of traditional full plate dishes like lobster chow mein, congee, cha siu meats (pork, duck, squab), but we came here for the dim sum. No push carts around but service is pretty fast as long as there's no long line waiting for tables. Would rec the siu mai, dumplings, rice noodles.

Newly opened Authentic HK joint specializing in Canto bbq. Tried their soy sauce chicken which is their signature dish , and roast duck bbq plates. The roast duck has crispy skin and not too fatty . Soy sauce chicken was moist ;came with a little side of extra sauce . The bbq plates came with something very few restaurants bother to make - 1) those brown beans ( looks like peanuts but smaller and they are actually soy beans in a somewhat sweet brown sauce. 2) suen choy ( sour pickled mustard). Yum! Orders are placed using an iPad . Before checkout you have option of adding HK iced lemon tea for $3 ( regular price is $4.95) . The iced tea was refreshing and perfect. Not too sweet . Service was prompt. One word of advice - if ordering bbq items ( chicken, roast duck) watch out for tiny bones. The rice that was served today was very dry and hard. Next time I would just order the bbq a la carte and skip the rice. Overall a solid 4.4/5. Edit- went back 2x after this review and each time the rice is still hard and dry .

This newly open restaurant need a lot of work to improve both their atmosphere and food quality . The signature rice pot is tasteless. Bbq pork too soft, salty and over cook. The desert you can taste the milk power taste, and watery

If you’re looking for delicious food at San Francisco Airport, Koi Palace is a fantastic choice! Their menu has a great variety of options, so no matter what you’re craving, you’ll find something that hits the spot. The food here is truly amazing. The flavors are rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. My personal favorite is the shrimp fried rice—it’s absolutely delicious! The rice is cooked just right, the shrimp are juicy and flavorful, and every bite is packed with that classic, comforting taste you’d expect from top-notch Chinese cuisine. One of the best things about Koi Palace is their on-the-line choice menu, making it super easy to grab something quick without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re in the mood for dim sum, noodles, chicken or a hearty rice dish, they have something for everyone. If you’re passing through SFO and want a meal that actually tastes great (not just airport food), Koi Palace is definitely worth a stop.

Most of the Koi Palace Express I have tried weren't very good, but this one inside San Francisco International Airport is the worst. I don't know why Koi Palace would allow such a lowest food quality fast-food restaurant to be part of its business or use the name Koi Palace. The food I tried before was not good. This time, it's worse! I’m sure this is my last time eating at this Koi Palace Express.

Honestly a disappointing experience even for airport chinrse food. I guarantee you it looks better than it tastes. I had the lo mein, vegetables and orange chicken. The lo mein was the pinnacle of the dish. However the oily noodles left desire in my heart and a coating on my mouth. The vegetables were decently steamed but overall I would describe them as wet and tasteless. The orange chicken had a bitter element that I would say nearly ruined the dining experience. The chicken itself was tough and overdone. Honestly, it was food. It was edible but I don't think even given the choice between this and whatever was at a kiosk, I'd go kiosk. This was just purely not a good attempt at this type of Chinese food. Staff was prompt and polite.

The food here is old and stale. The chicken is so dry and hard. Made me so sad because we’re in this airport for 3 more hours 😭
