HL Peninsula Restaurant

HL Peninsula Restaurant in Milpitas brings the largest Cantonese dining experience to the Bay Area, occupying a spacious 28,000‑square‑foot venue just off Ranch Drive, a short drive from the Great Mall and the I‑880 corridor. The restaurant’s floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay, where diners can watch aircraft glide in and out of nearby SFO while the sun sets over the water. Inside, polished wood panels, soft lighting and a modern Chinese motif create an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings, business lunches or celebratory banquets. The menu, crafted by Chef Li Yongzhou’s team, showcases classic dim sum—steamed shrimp dumplings, pork siu mai, custard buns shaped like bunnies and piglets—alongside premium seafood such as geoduck clam prepared two ways, live lobster, and fresh fish. Signature stir‑fry dishes feature tender beef and aromatic soups made from whole chicken heads. Prices range from $15 for a dim sum basket to $45 for specialty seafood plates, positioning the restaurant in the mid‑to‑high price tier. HL Peninsula opens daily for lunch at 11:00 am and dinner at 5:00 pm, staying open until 9:30 pm on weekdays and 10:00 pm on weekends. Reservations are recommended, especially for sunset seating. The attentive staff anticipate guests’ needs, offering complimentary plates and seamless service. Whether you’re craving a traditional Cantonese feast or a modern banquet, HL Peninsula in Milpitas delivers authentic flavors, impressive views, and a memorable dining experience.
