Palette Tea House パレット ティーハウス アンド ディム サム

Great food with beautiful SF view. About 15 mins walk from Pier 39 but service was bad. Just to get someone to refill our tea we had to ask like 4-5 person. Food were fresh and flavorful. Heard they are same as Koi, so you do not have to go far to try their dishes

The Palette Tea house lived up to the hype for us. Service was great. The food was fresh and delicious . And sitting outside was enjoyable. They were hosting a private event so didn't get to see much inside but if you have the time and money check it out.

Very good food and friendly staff. Just have to ask them for everything. Had to flag them down to order, had to ask for water refills, had to ask for new plates for dessert, etc.Food was very good and authentic. Ordered dimsum, Beijing duck and all foods were amazing.Very cute palette plates and interior. They have a covered outdoor patio area where I was able to bring my dog.

An unexpected gem in a very touristy spot. Came here for a date night and the spot did not disappoint. They close early (8 on a Friday!!!! which is my only complaint. We arrived late to our dinner reservation but they were gracious and seated us at the bar. The drinks were not strong but were original. The Dim Sum was artful and fresh. The duck spring rolls were fragrant, the crab dumplings and abalone sui mai were fresh and delicate. The fried tofu was perfectly crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. I also have to say that the accompanying chili sauce was unexpectedly remarkable and tasty. The only thing I did not care for is the lychee custard shrimp dumpling. The mix of sweet and umami did not work for me. Our server, a young musician transplant into SF by the name of Alex was just delightful. SF still is the land of relentless optimism even after being hit so hard during the pandemic.

For being in a touristy area, I was very impressed with the quality and presentation of the food. My friend and I had an early Sunday dinner reservation. We split the soup dumpling sampler, chicken and mushroom siu mai, sweet and sour chicken, and wagyu beef chow fun. My favorites were both the siu mai and the wagyu chow fun. I also really enjoyed the black truffle soup dumpling and wish they were able to sell that outside of the sampler. We left with leftovers so we could have gotten away with ordering 3 dishes if we hadn't been interested in trying more dishes
