Chinese Take Out
On a quest for the best dim sum in town, I tried out this place in South San Francisco called Grand Palace. We ordered the usual suspects - steamed shrimp dumplings (ha gow), sui mai, shrimp rice noodle rolls and steamed tofu skins with minced pork. The food is decent and edible and the environs are relatively clean. However, I did have some issues with the taste of the shrimp. The shrimp meat consistency was hard and solid, rather than al dente, like fresh shrimp meat should be. In terms of pricing, the Grand Palace is average with small dishes costing $2.55, medium dishes $2.95, large $3.95 and special $4.95.
In general, this restaurant cannot compare in quality and taste to Koi Palace in Daly City, where the ingredients taste fresh, which means the dim sum is superb. The only drawback is that Koi Palace is pricey.
