I ordered a few Dim Sum dishes from Tang Gong by using an App. The food was overall worse than what I remember. The beef balls and Chinese chives dumplings are still pretty good, but the shrimp meat in the shrimp dumplings are not fresh. The rice noodles in the beef chow fun are all in small pieces. TBH it’s quite disappointing considering its pricing is not low compared to many other Dim sum places in SG valley.
Servers are very lackluster. Dim Sum was not the best ever. Everything was OK. The 2 stars is for ALL the server's seeming disgruntled and not wanting to be there. Probably will not return.
Good, solid dim sum. Was able to make a reservation for a table of 12 the same day. The restaurant was large, brightly lit and clean-looking.The dishes that stood out for us was the Har Gow (crystal shrimp dumplings), Ngao Yuk (beef meatballs), Siu Mai (pork and shrimp dumplings), Lo Bak Go (pan-fried radish/turnip cake), Liu Sha Bao (lava egg custard buns), and How Choi Gau (pan-fried chive/leek dumplings).I'd avoid the Don Tot (egg tarts) and Mai Lai Go (yellow steam cake)...they are better elsewhere.
We went to this restaurant for dim sum yesterday. Other dim sum flavors are ok. French BBQ pork buns are not my favorite. But it takes about half an hour to wait for dim sum.
We were here with relatives, 12 of us, on a Saturday, a bit after 11 am. Restaurant was already crowded; restaurant does NOT take reservations. Our consensus on service: Poor. We asked for two of a certain dish in Cantonese; server did not seem to understand and we then spoke English, but she still did not understand. Finally, one of us pointed to the menu and she then seem to grudgingly acknowledge that we wanted TWO orders of it. It was that way repeatedly through most of the time we were there. Service was slow in general; we had to - repeatedly - keep pointing out that we needed more hot water for the tea, even though the lid was slanted, showing that hot water was needed. Some dishes such as Macau tart was very good, while others were reasonably comparable to other dimsum restaurants in Monterey Park. In general, unless one in our group wants to come back here, I would not come back, mostly due to the service.
NOT a fancy place, but very good food for dinner!Dinner food was excellent, with nice crisp vegetables in the dishes and nicely cooked food, plus for no apparent reason we received a bonus dish (entire plate) of fried chicken for free!Ordered a pork-belly dish, chow fun, scallop & shrimp & sugar-snap peas, fish maw soup. When you add in the free fried chicken, what was enough food for two meals for three people came out to just over $100 before tip.Be warned that the place is not fancy, and dinner had few diners even on a Saturday night; the lights were actually turned off over much of the restaurant. This restaurant deserves to have more customers!Also be warned that ordering consists of marking up a paper menu. The Chinese and the English descriptions of the dishes aren't necessarily lined up with the boxes where you mark the quantities, so be careful that you clearly indicate which dishes you want.
Service was super slow. Waited a long time for someone to come get our order. We seated ourselves in the outside seating tables. Took a few minutes for the waiter to come around and gave us the menu and after we had ordered we had to wait around for another 20-30 minutes before the dim sum came out. The items came out one by one. They did not have the usual dim sum carts with the ladies pushing them around. The worse part was we were charged $1-$1.10 for each of the to go boxes that we needed to carry our leftovers! Ridiculous! Will definitely NOT return! Food was not the best.
Prices gone up since covid. Slightly reduced menu but quality of food remained excellent. My top choice for dim sum lunch. Note lunch time ends 3pm.
Very disappointing dim sum. Some were cold. Won't be back.
Not too many dim sum restaurant provides indoor and outdoor dinning. I found this gem facilitates both indoor and outdoor dinning. Their dim sum portion is huge. Great customer service.
