They serve high quality Chinese food here. We always end up going here when my parents visit, because we just want to eat good food and aren't necessarily thinking about price. (It's expensive for Chinese food). Also the last time we were there it was quite chaotic and noisy, to the point that I thought we had made the wrong restaurant choice for dinner. You pretty much could only talk to the people sitting right next to you. But once the food started coming I softened. My favorites here are the smoked sea bass and honey walnut prawns. I've also been here for dim sum and it also is better than other restaurants. It's tasty and not as greasy, but it is more expensive. And it is prohibitively crowded too. We stood and waited in the middle of a mob of people for over an hour to get a table on a Saturday. Also the service is pretty bad and often rude. But is the food worth it? Maybe. I can't think of any other Chinese restaurants in San Francisco whose food I really like as much. I can't even think of many Chinese restaurants in this area that I like at all.
Koi Palace is one of those rare restaurants whose food shines through despite the inconvenience and horrible service. The service is fast, but can be quite rude, especially when it's busy (which is just about all the time). I think my mom almost came to blows with the hostess about a year ago while trying to setup a reservation. Nevertheless, the food keeps us coming back. I got to enjoy a banquet for an early Mother's Day celebration last weekend.
Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Koi Palace Restaurant from around the web.
"Koi Palace is still the best Cantonese Chinese food in the San Francisco Bay Area. Food is top notch but not cheap. ..."
"This place is a very busy and a super noisy Chinese restaurant with lots of families and friends eating together. Above average decor for a place like this. Lots of flat screen tvs, big tanks of seafood by the entrace...."
"One of the best dimsum restaurants I ever ate at… and this includes Hawaii and LA!..."
"The monstrous restaurant has a seating capacity somewhere near 400 seats which is about 10 times what we normally visit. We landed a nice corner table near the kitchen and right by a Koi pond...."
"I've been to Koi Palace twice now and it really is the most complex and interesting Chinese food I've had since moving to the States...."
"Elegant, bustling restaurant offers vast selection (more than 100 dishes) of impeccably prepared dim sum during lunch hours, from shrimp-and-scallop dumplings to roasted duck rolled in pancakes, rice noodle stuffed with shrimp, and delicate pastries. Dinn..."
"We had a whole slew of other dim sum as well, including my favorite pineapple buns filled with custard. My Mom got her favorite, which was a plate of roasted suckling pig...."
"My sister thought this would be as good place to go for Christmas brunch Dim Sum. I've never been there but immediately had a bad feeling when i entered the parking lot and saw the throngs of Chinese folks...."
"It is hard to imagine that any of the seafood here is not fresh. Throughout the expansive, tastefully appointed dining room, you will find tanks of fish, crustaceans, and even two species of clams waiting to become a delicious main dish...."
