Palette Tea House (彩籠) is located at the heart of San Francisco’s North Beach.

Founded by
the family of Koi Palace and Dragon Beaux, Palette Tea House introduces a new approach
to dim sum, seafood, and specialized Cantonese cooking by using modern ingredients that
innovate dim sum classics while remaining loyal to the authentic yum cha experience.

The first Koi Palace was opened in 1996 by the Ng family, who came over to San Francisco
as immigrants from Hong Kong. Influenced by the bustling seafood port of their hometown,
Lei Yue Mun, the Ng’s wanted to bring a piece of their heritage to America and share the
experience of “yum cha” with the Bay Area. More than 20 years later, their vision stays the
same as Palette Tea House builds on the tradition of “yum cha” in San Francisco.
