Overall it is 3.5 rating. Good option for noon on a Friday without a wait in Millbrae..got seated right away. Everything we had with shrimp in it was good quality: ha gao, stuffed tofu, shrimp wrapped in crispy tofu skin. Turnip cake was a bit soggy and unremarkable. Chicken feet, pea sprouts in broth, taro puffs, baked bbq pork buns were on par with other local dimsum spots. Curious to try their signature lava souffle (pic on menu front page) but will table that til next time...read full review
Stopped by this restaurant for dimsum. This is the first time I visit eventhough this restaurant been here for a while. This places used to be Zen Peninsula. The restaurantb is considered average size for Hongkong style dimsum and seafood reataurant.
The restaurant has small table for 2 people to large table which I believe can fit 15 people.
The dimsum menu is almost the same as other dimsum places. One unique item is they have item in the menu which is combination of chicken...read full review

I went there with two good friends a bit after 1 pm today. There was no waiting and not crowded. I was too busy talking and didn't pay too much attention to the food. Since nothing negative came to mind, the food should be good.

Yan Peninsula 知味軒 offers a welcoming dining experience with good food and friendly service. The restaurant has a parking lot in the back and is spacious, making it easy to find a spot. The dim sum is highly praised, especially the shrimp dumplings (Ha Gao), which are large and filled with lots of shrimp. Other dim sum plates are also considered excellent, with fresh and tasty ingredients. The quality of the food has improved under the current ownership, with many diners enjoying their meals, though some mention that the broccoli was old and bitter.
The staff generally provides attentive service, but some reviews note occasional issues such as a bad attitude from one server and mistakes like shrimp dumplings coming out raw or hot water being served instead of cold. There have been concerns about overcharging, with some feeling that automatic tips and charges for tea are unfair, especially when service is not exceptional. Despite these minor issues, guests often find the prices reasonable for the Bay Area. Overall, Yan Peninsula 知味軒 is a decent choice for dim sum and meals, with a mix of good food, attentive staff, and some areas for improvement.
