Hong Kong Lounge

*8/23/2023 This was my second visit to Hong Kong Lounge, and on this occasion, my dining companion and I decided to indulge in their delightful dim sum offerings. We arrived at around 11 a.m. on a Sunday and a modest queue already forming outside the restaurant. I would recommend that those arriving by car consider dropping off their companions at the restaurant first to secure a spot on the waiting list and obtain a ticket. Anticipate a typical wait time of around 30 minutes before being seated. For this visit, I opted for the Dim Sum Sampler, an assortment that included 1 Custard Piglet Bun, 2 Spinach Dumplings, 2 Vegetarian Dumplings, 2 Olives & Yam Dumplings, 2 Seafood Dumplings, 2 Curry Beef Dumplings, and 2 Bunny Shrimp Dumplings. The standout items were undoubtedly the dumplings filled with seafood. They had a delightful blend of flavors, and the dumpling wrappers were wonderfully chewy, adding to the overall satisfaction of the dish. However, I must admit that the Curry Beef Dumplings didn't quite live up to my expectations. Despite their vibrant yellow curry-colored wrappers, the filling lacked the bold curry flavor I had anticipated. I was hoping for a burst of curry spice in my mouth, but unfortunately, it fell short in that regard. 7/28/2023 We went to Hong Kong Lounge for dim sum, a group of 6 of us, and managed to get seated shortly after the restaurant opened at 10:30 a.m. However, there was already a queue when we arrived, so keep in mind that arriving early is advisable if you want to avoid waiting. In total, we ordered 20 dishes, and I must say, all of the food tasted pretty decent! Allow me to highlight a few dishes that particularly impressed me: the Steamed Pork Rib, Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Baked BBQ Pork Puff, and Baked Egg Tart! These were simply delightful and left a lasting impression on my taste buds.

Comparable to other very good dim sum places. I don’t think there’s anything in particular putting this place over the top. If you’re craving good dim sum, you’ll definitely find it at this place. The highlights for me were the chicken feet and the blanched broccoli.

authentic then some spot with very classic traditional dishes. I really enjoyed the lobakgo and all the shrimp dishes were very fresh. The kanji was also very sizable and tasty to share

July 2022: Came here for dinner and was very happy with the overall meal and service. It has been a few years since I have been here for dinner. We ordered off the menu and had a great variety. The lobster was cooked very well with ginger and green onions. They brought the live lobster to us before cooking so we could take a look at the freshness 👍. The salt 🧂 and pepper fish was done well. Nice light breading. The tofu with mushrooms and tender greens was very tasty. The fish stir fry with vegetables was very fresh! The soy sauce chicken was delicious! Ong choy was cooked nicely with the fermented bean curd. Walnut shrimp 🦐 was also great. We got oysters stir fried with green onions and ginger 👍. As you can tell, everything was really good! I think because we ordered so much food, they gave us a mango 🥭 pudding free for dessert. It came in the shape of a whole fish 🐠😀. Overall, very delicious dinner!

Great affordable place for dimsum in SF. I loved the super rundown tradition interior that reminded me so much of Hong Kong and the great menu with lots of options. For tourists from Asia, pls note that the dishes here come in relatively larger size than in Asia so don't let your hunger trick you into over-ordering 😁
