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.

Super fun. I had food I've never had before. All of it was great.
Service was very friendly.
And I had a view of Mt. Diablo.

One of the best place for dim sum in the Bay Area, their price is a little higher than others in the area. But the quality is above and beyond all the nearby dim sum places including Koi Place in Daly City.
Below is the dinner banquet that I went to.

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.

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.

Great place to entertain your family and friends. Authentic Chinese food that is reasonably priced. Great customer service - 15% is baked into your bill.

Excellent dim sum place with gorgeous interiors. Very upscale and comfortable with a giant TV on the side.

Entrees are good portion and tasty. Well lit and awesome view of the ocean.

Staff is well trained and nice, unlike many dim sum places where you mainly just go for the food.

I particularly liked their custard buns. Highly recommend this place for group meals or weddings!

We had a birthday dinner here for my uncle. Food was well presented and the server was very attentive and helpful. We were in a private rooms and that might have been why, but they were very pleasant. Not sure about food costs as I didn't see the final bill. We were upstairs on the second floor and the views of the airport and the planes and the ocean was beautiful! Loved it! One negative... Peking duck was not sliced thin but chopped making it more difficult to make wraps as you have to peel the meat from the bone first.

Ok speaking as a white girl who just stumbled into this place having no clue what I walked into and not being able to read the menu, this place was fantastic. So I ordered off the picture menu and got what I think is sea cucumber. This was spiced with wasabi and was a texture somewhere between jello and a pickle. It's not something I would order again; however it was good. Next came the soup and holy cow that was absolutely fantastic! It was super hot and filled to the brim with tons of seafood (shrimp, scallop, fish, shellfish, mussel, prawn) and was spiced just right. The soup was absolutely huge and I honestly wish I had ordered just that. The food came with hot tea and a dessert soup. I asked and it was green pea dessert soup. It was also fantastic and I wish I hadn't been so full so I could eat it all. 10/10 I would go again for the Tom Yum Soup and the pea soup.

We had a birthday party here and had a great time. The servers messed up a few times by forgetting to bring certain entries to use I'm a proper time. The food was very good and the view is spectacular! I remember coming to this restaurant years ago when it was El Torritos. I like the Pearl better- so does my acid reflux! LOL

Wow. Pretty hype place with the most iconic views. Been to the other restaurants in Burlingame near SFO and this one definitely has beat out the rest in location. Kind staff, efficient work/service, and above all really good food and fantastic facilities. Will be back, a lot.

We reserved a private room upstairs for a collection of birthdays to celebrate. Food was great! Nice view from the deck if you step outside. We had the peony room with two windows to the outside and one window with a view of the main dining hall.

There was no wait when we arrived at 10am on a Sunday. Beautiful ocean view and the dim sum was good. Besides the usual dishes like the shrimp dumplings and beef with rice noodle roll, we enjoyed the mackerel and the lava salted egg yolk buns. The piggy shaped mango pudding was a nice treat for the kids.

This is my go-to place for dim sum! The atmosphere here is exceptionally well being next to the sea and the San Francisco International airport, seeing planes landing and taking off. The digital ordering through the IPad is also very convenient for quick ordering compared some other places, and the visualization for each item is very helpful too!

HL Peninsula Pearl is a special restaurant in Burlingame! Terrific asian cuisine overlooking runways at SFO. Landing planes are mesmerizing as was the wedding banquet for Drew and Dora.

Even though they had a full house on the day we visited, we didn’t feel we were ignored. The lobster for the banquet was so refreshing, no longer just cooked with ginger and scallion. We will be back again and again.

Peninsula pearl restaurant decorated very luxurious environment, atmosphere is very has the Chinese characteristic, and take in everything in a glance outside the window of the super beautiful seascape, when we enter to sit down and have a very comfortable feeling, a lot of food here, Chinese and western snacks, dishes with Chinese characteristics, in short, to meet the requirements of each customer, order of the female manager is very professional, service is also very good, Feel at home, and the price is affordable, value for money! I believe that the next dinner party, must choose to come here!

Everything is good. Especially the Danggui chicken feet soup, so amazing!! They charged the 15% service automatically on the bill. Worth the price and service.

Great cantonese food with airplanes landing and takeoff views. We ordered chicken, pork intestine and white pepper soup which was a nice one to have just before traveling. It is conveniently located less than 10 mins drive SFO terminals.

That is wonderful experience i ever had.
They make very delicious vegetarian food beside authentic Chinese food.
Staffs are so nice and friendly. They suggest mushrooms stir fried and tomato soup for me.
Highly recommend for family meal!
