"Koi Palace’s reputation — as, perhaps, the Bay Area’s most acclaimed Chinese restaurant — precedes it, as anyone who’s waited in line for two hours for Sunday morning dim sum can attest. Even a couple of decades in, the restaurant still sets the gold standard for all the classics like har gow, rice rolls, and baked char siu bao and the kitchen also slices up some of the finest crispy-skinned roast suckling pig in all the land, if you’re lucky enough to snag an order before they sell out." - Lauren Saria, Luke Tsai
