Best WLM Reviews
The Chrysanthemum tea starts things off nicely, and then it's a journey of really tasty flavors.
The Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce is a great way to begin, offering a mix of textures and yummy flavors. The Spear Ribs with Black Bean Sauce stand out with just the right amount of seasoning, not too salty.
The Shrimp Dumplings are a real treat. The wrapper is perfect—thin and loaded with tasty shrimp. The Siu Mai with Shrimp Roe, even though it looks a bit funny, is really flavorful and enjoyable.
The Baked BBQ Pork Buns steal the spotlight with their tasty seasoned pork inside a slightly sweet and crispy bun. Each bite is full of flavor and texture.
While the BBQ Rice Noodle Rolls are just okay, the overall experience at Yan Peninsula is outstanding.
Fast, friendly service. Bonus points if you speak Cantonese. Mandatory service fee may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But I don’t mind tipping since it’s a service.
A lot of food for two people came out to about $120 with plenty to take home in boxes.
Very filling dim sum restaurant that isn't as loud or crowded as other ones.
They have a lot of fun bun options with their specialty custard, a lava bun, a sesame bun, among others. Like other Dim Sum restaurants, all one needs to do is check boxes on the menu.
The food arrives very fast and my favorite dish is their Fried Coconut Rice Cakes which were perfectly sweet. They also have an airy souffle for dessert that I would also recommend.
There is plenty of parking; however, one might want to arrive earlier to get a good spot.
Best Cantonese cuisine in the SF Bay Area. The food is fresh, perfectly prepared and generously portioned. The garlic pea sprouts are a must to eat at this restaurant. All the dim sum dishes are mouthwatering delicious, especially the buns and lava buns; be extra careful biting into them when they are hot. Be even more extra careful NOT to over eat!!!
The staff are very friendly and helpful. They provide great service through smiles and kind words and gestures.
The restaurant is a bit crowded, during rush hours for both lunch and dinner even though the tables and chairs are nicely spaced, but it’s expected when the food is so GOOD.
Food is below average. Pretty buns, tho. I definitely don't recommend the Xiao Long Bao. Food takes too long, and when it comes, it's cold. Mango pudding looks good but tastes pure agar agar. Phoenix Bun and Custard ok taste.
Go to Grand Harbor, not far and way better.
Incredibly slow dim sum service. If you come hungry, you'll be sitting there until you're starving. On a Monday morning with half the tables empty, it took 20 mins for shrimp dumplings (蝦餃) to be served.
The couple who were seated before us ended up cancelling half their order and leaving because the food took too long. Ten minutes later their food was done because the servers thought it was for our table. After 45 mins of waiting we ended up cancelling our last order too.
The food is pretty good. I went here for breakfast for Mother's Day and there was plenty of tables to sit. The service is pretty good but I think sometimes the staff gets confused with the table orders because our order was almost switched twice during the visit. FYI, the menu indicates there is a 15% service charge on top of the food price.
I went because I really wanted dim sum. I guess they don’t serve that for dinner. I went by myself, but everything on the dinner menu is a sharing portion, so I don’t recommend going alone.
