Hong Kong Gold Peony Seafood Palace is a well-known restaurant in Oakland Chinatown, celebrated for its good food and bright, clean environment. Despite the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant remains one of the few large dinner banquet venues in the area. Its dim sum is highly regarded, with a variety of tasty dishes served hot and fresh, although the prices tend to be higher than other places. The dinner menu features fresh seafood dishes and unique pandan-based desserts, which add a special touch to the meal. The service is generally attentive, with friendly waiters, and the restaurant's decor is pretty. Customers appreciate the easy access, including underground parking, and the lively, authentic atmosphere created by the busy environment.
Recent visitors have shared positive experiences, especially celebrating special occasions like birthdays. They enjoyed the friendly service and the extensive menu, praising the dim sum for its quality. Ordering through QR codes was convenient, and the overall environment was lively and authentic. However, some reviews mentioned that the dim sum was mediocre at best, with dishes rated as average, and service that sometimes lacked communication. Others pointed out that protein dishes were small for the price, but still appreciated the traditional feel and the lot of yummy options. Despite mixed reviews, many guests plan to return to enjoy the good service, decor, and food offerings.
