Not the best dim sum I've tried, and I ate a lot of dim sum. The best dish was the salty fish chicken fried rice. But the chives dumpling was so so, and so was the veggie dumpling.
Nice restaurant and good dim sum dishes. We had lunch late, many dishes were sold out. Only ordered 5. The xiao long bao could be better, otherwise the rest were actually good and authentic.
The restaurant was full of uncles (I didn’t even see any aunties). They all have such serious faces that I was afraid if I made a wrong move I would get scolded ?

We ordered five plates of dim sum, which filled us up as a party of two. The food was delicious, especially the spicy oil wontons. However, charging $2 per person for tea seems quite expensive.
Yum Cha Palace is a restaurant known for its friendly and attentive service. The menu features fresh and well-seasoned vegetables, including string beans and cucumbers. The dim sum, including cheung fun and spicy oil wontons, is a highlight. Noodle dishes like beef chow fun and Hong Kong pan-fried noodles are also standouts. While the $2 per person tea charge has been noted as pricey, the restaurant offers an extensive menu and a charming atmosphere with a long mural on the wall. Yum Cha Palace is a popular spot for regulars and a convenient option for those in Menlo Park, offering good value and service, though not reaching the level of more upscale restaurants.
