" I brought my family here for dim sum after hearing many praises. We loved the extensive menu and the quick service. The lobster was simply amazing! However, some of the more exotic items like taro cake were a miss for us. Still, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, and we appreciate the authentic feel of the restaurant. Perfect place for families, I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I discovered H. L. Peninsula! The restaurant exceeded my expectations on multiple fronts — cleanliness, service, and especially the food! I had the lobster, which was perfectly cooked, along with a few dim sums that were really delicious. I might call it a bit pricy, but the quality justifies the cost. Looking forward to my next visit with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" With so many mixed reviews out there, I was curious about H. L. Peninsula. I went with an open mind. The entrance appeared busy, yet we were seated quickly. We ordered a variety of dim sum to share. They were quite delicious, particularly the taro puff! Although some dishes lacked the punch of seasoning I desired, the flavors still captured the essence of Cantonese cooking quite impressively. I’ll likely return to explore other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves dim sum, I have to say this place is spectacular! The variety they offer is something you won't find in many places. I indulged in their signature dish, a lobster and noodle combo that was indulgent! While I think some dishes could use a bit more seasoning, the quality is mostly top-notch. The environment is also pleasant enough for family gatherings or celebrations. Excited for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for dim sum brunch and was amazed by the buzzing atmosphere! The service was quick and friendly. I particularly enjoyed their cakes and buns; the fillings were fresh and rich. However, some dishes like the spring rolls were a little dry. Overall, I would highly recommend this place but recommend going early to avoid the rush! " (*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*)
