"In a city rich with dim sum, Palette Tea House stands out as one of the more modern options with a large, high-ceilinged dining room decorated with warm wood and brick. The location at the top of Ghirardelli Square doesn’t hurt either. The food stands up to the test as well, which makes sense considering the restaurant comes from the team behind Daly City destination Koi Palace and the Richmond District’s Dragon Beaux. For your first visit, get the rainbow-hued XLB, but the real standouts are the classic dishes made with premium ingredients including wagyu beef chow fun, abalone siu mai, and the like. Don’t miss the perfectly fried salt and pepper calamari." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
