   As usual, the food was great. We had a party of 17 and wanted outdoor seating, but outdoor dining was not available due to the weather. So they did the next best thing and put us in the private dining room, which was great. No crowds and the noise level was much lower. Also, HarborView takes reservations which many dim sum restaurants do not so it was great that we didn’t have to wait for our tables. Overall a wonderful dim sum experience for Chinese New Years. Highly recommended.

   Over the last few decades I have had Peking duck in many cities and the duck I received here was absolutely the very best!

   Every dish is a masterpiece - stunning & delicious. We were in awe of the black cod (30 min to cook) - it was outstanding! So were crunchy noodles w/ seafood. Absolute perfection- each piece of calamari, fish & scallops were perfectly cooked/seasoned. The service was flawless - so gracious, humble & accommodating.

   service was horrible, the waiter took forever to come and he had a horrible attitude, judging our order, such that he would question our decisions. we are your guests, we are paying you. just give us our order💀 and they tried rushing us out when escorting another table in when we left. on top of that, they never gave us change or receipt back. our waiter never came to check up on us, he was extremely rude. the food was amazing though.

    We went for a Saturday brunch and ordered 10 dim sum dishes and a Peking duck. The dim sums were all sub-par: Ha Gow, Siu Mei, SLB stuffing was hard and dry, the lotus wrap sticky rice had very little "goodies" inside, basically a giant roll of sticky rice, the vegetarian-duck again had no "goodies" and just 99% bean curd skin, taro-fill sesame balls had very little taro. On the other hand, the Peking duck was pretty good: crispy skin and juicy meat, the steam beef rice roll (Chong Fun) was fresh and tasty, the bake pineapple pastry had just the right sweetness with a crispy crust, the porridge was pretty good. Service was also good. We sat on the side dining room so while the ambience was not bad, it's definitely not a $15M setting - perhaps the main dinning is a show piece. We would probably not go back for a long while, probably until their business picks up and we can sit at the main dining room.

    Authentic and good. Hard to find the location though. Webpage should say it's at the corner of Drumm and Sacramento for those who use share rides.

    In order to get outdoor patio seating, it’s best to book a reservation time before 12 noon. By the time we arrived at 1pm, all patio tables were taken but the staff accommodated us by seating us on the perimeter of the restaurant away from other diners next to the exit aisle. Service has greatly improved since our last visit. Kudos to the wait staff!

    We enjoyed this lunch very much. Great experience. The dim sum, the service, the pacing, the atmosphere all excellent. Worth the price! Will go back to Harborview, as a long-time San Francisco resident. Unfortunately, we were not offered parking validation for our car parked in the Embarcadero garage -- which would have saved us about $20. I'll insist next time.

    Harbor View does not disappoint. The dim sum is not only delicious but usually prepared in a healthy way. Not too much oil. The wait staff is always courteous and accommodating. Would recommend for a wonderful luncheon experience.

    We had never been to this restaurant. There was no view from the table we were at. The duck and fried rice were excellent, but the Chinese broccoli was very large stalks. Excellent desserts of custard tarts and hot ginger pudding. However, the prices were outrageous and a service charge was added without telling us beforehand. Won’t be going again.

    Compare to the experience I had in the past, I feel the food quality went down. The crab was over cooked, meat was dry, It was a big disappointment to me, although my invited guest from Europe didn't know better. Although the soy chicken was still pretty decent but it is still not as tender as few years back, and soy flavor aroma is not as strong as it was. Beef Radish Stew was well made. The dry string bean was a C. The string bean was not fried enough but presented like a fresh string bean stired friend with some spicy sauce mix to it. I order dry friend string bean, it is not how it should be. I mentioned it to our server, he said he will have a big issue if he bring the dish back to the kitchen, the chef will be mad at him. Well, it says all about this highly rated, also one of my most favorite Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. Post covid quality.

    We come here for most of our special occasions, We also invited a few of our friends here because we liked the foods. Unfortunately, over the weekend, me and my wife came for new year eve dinner, turned out very disappointed. The roasted crab portion was so little and it was very small one, for $68, I expected at least 2 pounds, I don't think that crab weighed even 1.5 pounds, missing some part of the body of that crab, I felt like we got cheated, even the crab shell was so small. We also tried the Harborview beef, what a disappointment. The beef had no flavor in it, taste sweet instead. And because of the no flavor beef, we ended up ordered the beef brisket, and it was delicious . Not sure if we will be back again, it's kind of sad.

    Some of the best Dim Sum on the west coast. Very professionally run, extremely efficient with the highest quality standards. It's pricey, yes, given it's prime location in the Embarcadero, but the quality is there. It's always consistently excellent.

    Food quality drop compare early this year, price is too high. 18% service charge were forced to add to the check. Food cost + service charge total n add tax which is a ripped off. Tax should not be added to the service charge. Never go back again.

    We went Christmas Day. I don’t expect stellar service on a major holiday, but even though there seemed to be plenty of staff the service was terrible. The food quality was moderate at best. We should have stood in line in Chinatown for excellent food and similar service for half the price.

    Dinner was great but I was disappointed to be rushed . We made an 815 reservation , seated by 820. Ordered a wine and by the time the waiter came back to take our order it was 8:40. Waiter said kitchen was closing and we had to put in our entire order , including dessert. Dessert was brought out with entries. They started cleaning up and resetting tables while we were finishing the meal. I understand they wanted to let the waitstaff and kitchen staff home for Christmas Eve but I think they should have not released late reservations if they were going to rush us home . For the price we paid it was unfortunate to be rushed. Food was good but didn’t enjoy the pace. Recommend an early dinner .
