Grand Harbor

Grand Harbor Seafood Restaurat

Burlingame, CA

We decided to give this a try on the second day of its opening.  We were warned by one of the owner's daughter that it may not be up to standard.  ;p

I must say that the interior was a bit tacky with a white tone.   The prices are on the high side for what you get.  The manager came over and was pressuring us into ordering all the expensive items on the menu (i.e. lobster and live fish), we decided that we just wanted some regular Cantonese food.
