Love coming in Palette Tea House in the city! Friendly
Love coming in Palette Tea House in the city! Friendly staff and manager .Unfortunately the new twist of the honey walnut prawn didn't do justice! Dry and hard,tasteless that is why I am giving them only 4 stars. Clean and nice vibe ambiance.

Absolutely delicious and amazing customer service! Thank you for accommodating us and our baby!
Everything was amazing! Peking duck was so good.
We came before the dinner rush so service was quick!
Excellent dumplings and Chinese food! Delicious seafood
Excellent dumplings and Chinese food! Delicious seafood options and the lamb noodle stir fry was also really good. The dumplings we got came in sets of 3. Everything was excellent and we would definitely go back.
Amazing food and service.
Authentic flavors in a relatively upscale ambience. It's right by Fisherman's Wharf which is about 15 min walk from here. Bathrooms are clean too. I bought my out of town Chinese family here and they really enjoyed the food.

I came here for brunch with my family and overall had a great experience. We tried several of their menu items, including the lotus wrap abalone sticky rice ($10), classic "ha gow" shrimp dumpling (3 pieces, $9.50), radish cakes with XO s

This place was nice to visit, the lanterns and ambiance were very cool. The food was delicious my favorite was their Wagyu Pot Stickers but note that they are slightly bigger than expected. They were very quick to serve you and help you out with anyt

I hosted an event for 80 people at Palette Tea House on 9/18/2025. I can't recommend it enough! From the initial proposal and booking with the amazing manager Mia, a tour of the dining room and planning session with the other amazing manager Yut
Came here with a party of 8 for lunch.
A typical dim sum restaurant with overpriced dishes. Someone ordered the egg sour soup to share and everyone agreed it was definitely sour. The vinegar overpowered everything else in that soup. Everyone ordered numerous items and shared with the grou
I would have to say that there are better dim sum places.
It's lackluster food but the aesthetics were nice. Unfortunately the service was NOT friendly which made the experience of dining here not great.

3.5 Stars A "higher end" dim sum experience - don't expect the traditional, authentic tea pot brought out in the beginning and ladies pushing around carts. The presentation of everything was beautiful but honestly, the flavor f
Fabulous.
An amazing experience. We had a big, lively group and they treated us so well. Food was off the charts. Everything was perfect. Do yourself a favor a go.

I love palette tea house!! Everything is so good here and I love the ambiance and the beautiful location. Food wise, you have to know what you're getting into. It's premium/nicer and more fusion and eclectic. Don't come here expecting

Food was beautifully arranged and was fairly decent, though not super authentic. It was located in Ghirardelli Square, which was convenient to get to.

Everything is super tasty and I have no complaints! Must get the fried 7 spice tofu, mushroom chow fun, and stir fried asparagus & shiitake mushrooms! Wish the wagu fried rice came early on because we got full from the small things

Made a dinner reservation here yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! I loved the vibe inside and the service was super friendly. We ordered the Peking duck set (not the one with caviar and soup) which was so yummy and a great price for 2 people

this is a more asian fusion restaurant rather than an authentic chinese place, but it tastes pretty good and I love how creative the presentation and flavor combinations are! we tried the: - black swan taro puff ($10) - black truffle duck fried rice
The presentation is great, the hospitality is better!
The presentation is great, the hospitality is better! Everything was delicious and they offered great wine pairings. I wasn't able to try this time around but definitely will be back for some cocktails soon.
Highly recommended and no kidding
Wellβ¦ wow! What a great lunch! We needed to eat outside and the hostess said that we would have slow service because they were down a server. Could fool meβ the service was certainly fast enough, and the server was very attentive. No problems on
Disappointing
Except for the restaurant ambiance and vibe which are great everything was less than average. Service was lousy, i literally gave up on my drink as i had to ask at least 5 times for my drink. Last but not least this was one of the worst Chinese i tr
Great staff and good food
Overall quite good. I wouldnβt call it dim sum but the portions are good. My favorite dishes were the shishito peppers and the fried calamari.
Not good
Stopped by to have a quick bite/ late lunch and decided on a serve of dumplings. Good: The waiter /server was friendly and competent. Bad: The dumplings . For a place that presents itself as a class establishment, the food was a disgrace. Hard and r
Excellent
Wonderful experience, weβve lived in China and it reminded us of our time there. Excellent food, beautiful decor and great service. Thank you!!
Decent, but Gentrified Dim Sum
Palette Tea House is a decent, if not an overrated, dim sum restaurant in the premium location of Ghirardelli Square. Given the location, of course it is on the pricey side for dim sum, but not egregiously so. As someone who has lived in China, spen
Upscale dim sum and more
It's been a few years since I've been here (I'm not local) but Palette still serves fancy-ish dim sum and Cantonese food in an original, unique setting in Ghiradelli Square. It wasn't as busy as I've seen it in the past, but
Great for dim sum!
We went to Palette for Sunday brunch. Everything about our experience was terrific β the friendliness of the staff, the service, and the food. We would definitely go back. The only thing we would do differently would be to order less food. The port
Connect with users posting reservations for Palette Tea House San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Palette Tea House San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Palette Tea House San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Palette Tea House San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Palette Tea House San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Palette Tea House San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
