text: There is a reason why Harbor Palace ranks on the bottom of my list of dim sum places in VegasnnIt was my second visit ever and it just reconfirmed my experience from the first time I wentnnSaturday brunch am arrival Not as busy as I would expect Bad signnnWe have a large party five adults and four children As a result we are seated in one of the larger tables in the room set off to the right of the restaurantnnWe had barely sat down especially with getting all the young kids seated when the cart lady was hollering You want dim sum I was immediately put off with her attitude and probably would have left if it was just the Husband and I My Chinese friend mentioned that her mom has a simple standard of dim sum restaurants tea should be placed on the table before the food is brought out And she is right Growing up that is the first thing I remember from my many dim sum brunches The waiters ask what kind of tea you want usually as you are getting situated and before the carts come the tea is on your tablennBut in this case we felt so pressured to order from the ladys cart and had baskets of food on our table way before the beverage guy came around to ask what we wanted to drink I will say that he brought the tea and water over quickly and had our tea pots filled the whole time of course with my help of flipping the cover up nnWe got the typical orders of pork dumplings and shrimp dumplings Nothing special here more dried out from oversteaming if that makes sense We got a couple orders of beef balls and was surprised they did not cut it in half I have always seen it cut in half nor was any Worcestershire sauce givennnRice noodle dishes came by and I asked in Cantonese if they had Beef Noodle Roll She said they did looked around then asked if I wanted the Pork Spare Ribs one I said fine and then she asked about the Shrimp one too which I said was fine Although she did try sneaking another one onto our table until we caught her in time to just say only one And of course the beef one never showed up nnI asked for Egg Custard Bun and she said they had it but tried passing off some yellow bean one as well We did eventually get the Egg Custard Bun and it was not goodhard dry and old BlehnnDeep fried chicken wings were decent the first time around but even better when we got them nice and hot The deep fried salt and pepper shrimp was also nice and hot when we got it toonnOther dishes included steamed pork buns chow mein noodles Chinese broccoli been sitting out too long shrimp and tofu chicken feet and steamed beef tripe Nothing memorable thoughnnThe Husband was not eating much from the very start and I had to wonder why He discreetly pointed to the HAIR that was sitting on his rice noodle dish Oh Yuck And unfortunately we did not say anything about it then or at the end since we were with guests But normally we would have at least tried to point it out after we paid And no you never say anything during your meal because we all know what happens at Chinese restaurants if you complainnnOverall Harbor Palace is just not that good We were not that impressed the first time and we are not impressed now And the service is beyond bad here Sure I know everyone says you cannot expect much on service at dim sum restaurants but this places leaves a bad taste in your mouth It is not even worth toleratingnnThey do have hot chili oil available on the tables not just regular chili sauce And please stop asking for Sriracha sauce you know who you are
