The waitstaff are so nice! We had two vegetarians in our group and the staff we happy to suggest some items and leave the meat out of stir fries too. Very helpful and really nice. Niceness counts!

Excellent service! Recommend Peking Duck, whole crab with vermicelli & prime steak with mushrooms. Excellent veggie (Yu Chou) stir fried with garlic cloves. Food was well seasoned but not salty nor greasy. Small'ish dining room so reservations are a must

Make reservation! This is a small restaurant that is super popular, walk-in would be difficult if you are with a large party. This is meant for small groups of 2-5 people. Dim sum, stir-fried vegetables, and soup are why I come here. Service and food are 5-star.

I didn't give a five-star rating because there are so many dim sum places in sf that have equally delicious food, although some of their dishes had unique flavors. We enjoyed the attentive service, appreciated the quiet ambience, and best of all, we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was thoughtful and efficient. It's a great place to take friends and family!
My family went to celebrate my son's birthday. I kind of thought they would provide something in honor of it but nothing was said or done. No problem. We enjoyed our experience though.

This is such a delicate dim sum restaurant. I think the food and service are amazing . It's a bit pricier than a normal Chinese dim sum place .

Last minute, I called on the Chinese New Year 2/10/24 to ordered lobster noodle and other Chinese dishes. Everything was fresh made. Food was delicious. Customer service was super friendly and professional. The restaurant was clean and modern. I will try dim sum here next time.

EPIC meal. We had 8 courses. The chef here is amazingly talented. Service is attentive. Hands down the most sophisticated Cantonese food in the Bay Area. The dessert is also delicious. Not too sweet. If you're going with a large party, special order the mango pudding. You'll be delighted.
Outstanding food, excellent service, but pricey. Everything was great here. Glad we have a great Dim Sum choice in the neighborhood.
Loved the experience! The service here was extremely high quality (it felt like I was being served at a nice hotel). They had the best dumplings I've ever tried, and I recommend ordering the shrimp toast as well. The beef was tasty, but the tapas were the shining stars. Definitely going back to try more items on the menu. It's also BYOB with a 25$ corkage fee.

Experience would have been much more enjoyable if we weren't bullied into leaving a tip! The staff are very nice, but at the end of our dinning experience the owner started yelling asking why we left such a small tip (when we were going to tip more in cash)! Extremely rude and unprofessional!

I would have given a higher rating if it wasn't for the meanest woman who seems to own it. The staff was lovely and kind but she tried to bully my friend into an electronic tip when she was gonna leave cash. It was startling and disgusting that she thought that was okay.
My friends and I decided to try out HK Lounge Bistro for lunch, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The menu had a great variety of options. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food we received. Glad that I found my favorite dim sum restaurant in SF.
