    This was to be a grandmother's 79th birthday dinner, but we arrived to a noisy banquet across the room, and were given fairly rushed, impersonal service, with no special note of it being a special occasion for us, even though we had indicated so in the reservation. The food was average, although the dark Century Egg was intriguing. We left after the main course to celebrate elsewhere.

    Beautiful food that tastes clean and natural for Chinese food. Some places use too much bottled sauces and msg to enhance flavor. Harborview uses a little less so the natural taste of the ingredients comes through.

    Well, it was Chinese New Year weekend so Kitchen must have been overwhelmed.The place was full to the brim. I took one star off from its usual 5 ***** . Service remains top notch all the way. Love the place. Will return when it's less hectic in the kitchen. Looking forward to the normal ***** food.

    We typically have great experiences at Harborview but this visit was sub standard. We arrived on time for a 6:15pm reservation We ordered steamed fish, crab, roasted chicken amongst other dishes. We didn’t receive our soup for at least 30 mins after placing the order - at $11 a bowl the wintermelon soup was not worth it We ordered steam fish and it came in the middle not last like it is traditionally served, we also got rice before some other dishes We did not leave the restaurant until after 9:30 Pretty disappointed in our New Year’s dinner

    Horrible service. I preordered with Maggie the day before and they were completely clueless on arrival. Had to reorder again. Took 45 min to even order then more time to get food. Meanwhile I had two elderly parent with me. Ordered the 98.00 lobster with sticky rice that was a complete disappointment. Rice flavor was Chinese sausage sweet and not authentic. Overall a huge miss. Will not be back.

    Our experience wasn’t as good as usual at Harborview. Mu Shu pancakes had dry edges. Oysters were plump but a bit too greasy. Salty Fish and Chicken fried rice lacked perceptible chicken. Congee was excellent. Since prices are high, not sure we will be back. Still, I rate the food as 4 out of 5 stars.

    This is one of the top dimsum restaurants in the Bay Area. Choices are good & ingredients are fresh. Their baked bbq pork buns are very good
