HK Lounge Bistro

“ugh preorder their live fish. it’s so fresh & silky smooth. this city is riddled with sichuan restaurants, so a cantonese spot that does everything perfect is like a diamond in the rough.”

“Great gem in the city. Service was top notch and the intimate setting is great for parties of 4 so enjoy a small gathering. The food I had was also was some of the best I've had in SF. The crab was fresh, dumplings delicious and pork belly so succulent. We also ordered a plate of shrimp noodles, but that wasn't the best. (too buttery)”

“Oh damn, this place was so delicious. Came here for lunch and had the pan fried noodles, shrimp crepe rolls and the eggplant was AMAZING. Also had the egg custard and I’m like damn I wish I lived in San Fran. I will just have to make the trip from Seattle more often! 😌”

“The dim sum here was pretty good. Every dish was prepared well and tasted fresh. I'm not sure why the restaurant's ratings are so high though. While the food was fine, the prices were exorbitant, especially given the small portions. Perhaps the greatest offender was the $18 plate of black and pepper pork spare ribs. What we got were 8 little pieces of deep fried pork that were mostly just bones. The soup dumplings were very average. The wrapper was too thick and the meat filling wasn't terribly flavorful. The lotus-wrapped sticky rice was also very average. The small piece of pork in the middle was tasty, but the sticky rice lacked any real fragrance or flavor. The truffle salt shrimp toast was our favorite dish. Service was great - attentive and friendly . The restaurant is very small inside and can get quite noisy. The location is strange, in a non-descript, somewhat dodgy part of Soma.”

“Wwnt to this place after seeing the good reviews. The crystal skin on the shrimp dumplings and rice noodle roles are really good and chewy. Those are the 2 dishes I'd recommend. The rest are just ok. For e.g., there is absolutely no reason why they should be charging $14 for siumai when it is typicalylly $7 to $8 in other dim sum restaurants and it taste just average.”
