" This restaurant did not disappoint! Right from the smooth check-in to the delectable dishes, everything was on point. As a dim sum lover, my heart was set on enjoying the whole experience, and H. L. Peninsula managed to exceed my expectations. Each item ordered was filled with authentic flavors reminiscent of our trips to Hong Kong. However, the wait during peak hour could be bothersome. Regardless, I will be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with a large group for a birthday celebration! Knowing there's a variety of dishes to sample really made it exciting! Most of the food was exquisite, particularly the lobster crab dish. Only a couple of things fell flat, mainly the desserts were average at best. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was lively and spacious enough for all of us to enjoy. Definitely a solid choice for big gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Compared to other dim sum places I’ve been to, H. L. Peninsula ranks among the top in terms of both quality and experience. The decor is modern and stylish, making it a pleasant place for gatherings. While some dishes weren’t as impressive as I expected, the majority were super tasty and beautifully presented. I’m planning to come back for dinner service next time; I suspect it'll be an entirely different experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" H. L. Peninsula has become our go-to spot for dim sum! The ambiance is delightful, with clean bright spaces and attentive servers. The highlights for us are definitely the har gow, which are always fresh and bursting with shrimp goodness! We often celebrate family events here and have never been disappointed. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but the quality makes it worth it. Looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by H. L. Peninsula for lunch last weekend with some friends after hearing good things about their dim sum. The service was friendly and accommodating, but I found the food to be just average in terms of authenticity. My shrimp dumplings were decent but lacked the punchy flavors I was hoping for. The overall environment was lively but a bit too loud for my taste. Maybe I’ll give them another shot during my next visit to see if the food quality improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Once again, H. L. Peninsula impresses! I transported my family from out of town and they absolutely loved the dim sum! Everything from service to ambiance was superior. The seafood authenticity gives you that classic Cantonese feel - it’s a must try. We got to sample many dumplings and buns that were delightful. Make sure to leave room for dessert, their mango pudding was a real hit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience here for dinner! We ordered multiple dishes and everyone left satisfied. Their seafood selection is so fresh! It's not overly crowded during dinner hours, so the service was better. I loved their fried rice with salted fish, it was delicious! Will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
