" I had an unforgettable experience at Pacific Lighthouse this past weekend! The dim sum was incredibly fresh, and each dish tasted wonderfully authentic. The view of the marina added to the charm, and the service was attentive, making us feel welcome. We particularly enjoyed the shrimp dumplings and the spicy chicken feet, which were just the right amount of heat. This will definitely be my go-to spot for dim sum from now on! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dim sum! The creativity in their dishes is impressive. You truly can't beat the waterfront view. While the waitress was friendly, I think some aspects of the service could be improved, as we had to flag someone down a few times. I'll happily return because the food was simply that good, and I want to try more items from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Pacific Lighthouse after hearing good things about their dim sum. The first thing that struck me was the beautiful view! The food was quite good overall, but I will admit I expected more from the service. We had to wait for a while to get attention from our server. However, I will definitely give it another shot as I loved the food I had. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pacific Lighthouse offers a unique combination of delicious dim sum and stunning views of the harbor. I was especially impressed with their mango pudding dessert—it was absolutely divine! The entire meal was satisfying, and the service was attentive for most of the duration. I'd say it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find in Alameda! The dim sum here rivals some of the best places in the Bay Area. The fried shrimp dumplings were crispy, and the har gow melted in my mouth. The staff were friendly and quick to refill our tea—no complaints there! I can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes. Definitely a hidden gem for dim sum lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Pacific Lighthouse for a family gathering last month. The dim sum was decent, although I felt that some dishes could have had more flavor. The service was friendly, but we had to wait longer than expected for our food to arrive. The view of the harbor was beautiful, which made up for the service shortcomings. I would recommend this place for its location, but be prepared for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a good dim sum place can be challenging, but Pacific Lighthouse offers just that! Their menu has ample variety, and the dishes we tried were delightful. The view enhances the experience, but not all dishes were on point—some seemed a bit bland. Regardless, I think they do give genuine effort with their food. It's worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
