" Pacific Lighthouse is such a treasure! Each time I come here, I find something new on the menu to love. Their dim sum is made with fresh ingredients and it shows. The staff is usually very attentive, though they do get busy, which can affect service speed. Overall, it’s a great place to gather with friends and family for a good meal with an exceptional view. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pacific Lighthouse exceeded my expectations! Not only did we get a table with a view of the harbor, but the dim sum was fantastic. The shrimp dumplings were some of the best I've tasted, and there were plenty of vegetarian options for my friends. The waitstaff seemed stretched thin, but they still managed to provide decent service. Overall, a great place for dim sum. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Pacific Lighthouse several times over the past year. Each time is a little different—sometimes the service is exceptional and other times it falls a bit short. The dim sum is consistently good, and I appreciate the freshness of the ingredients. The view of the marina is a significant highlight for my dining experience. Overall, I still enjoy coming back here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to finally try the famous dim sum at Pacific Lighthouse. The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I loved the stunning view of the boats. The dumplings were very good, but I found the service to be slightly chaotic when we arrived during a busy lunch hour. Despite these hiccups, I would still recommend it for the food and location! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a friend's birthday at Pacific Lighthouse, and it was a lovely experience overall. The dim sum was fresh and flavorful, especially the steamed buns! The view over the water is beautiful. However, the service was inconsistent; we had to remind the staff about our order once. Despite that, I would recommend this place to friends who love Chinese cuisine. " (*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*)
