Worth standing in the long line for. Fresh and tasty. No parking. Driving through Chinatown is a nightmare!
There is a line outside because it's simply a small bakery you order for take out. There are plenty of workers, So don't let a long line scare you. Forgot to take pics because we ate it so fast. We had the shrimp dumplings, seafood shumai, sesame seed balls, bbq pork bun & pork shumai. All for $12.90. They were so shocked when I tipped em cash. Which I should suggest adding to credit card transactions. Another suggestion, cleanliness
Great portions with cheap price, traditional dim-sum with fantastic taste. I think it is better than many other dim-sum places in Chinatown. Most recommended food: 韭菜饺 chive dumplings，烧卖 siomai，萝卜糕radish cake, etc. Too tasty, and I forgot to take picture before eating them
Sticky rice. Just get it. That is all! Worth the stand in the line. The dumplings are amazing too. Prepare to be treated as if you are a nuisance. Every customer seems to be!!
Wanted some egg tarts but the other shop was closed and this location popped up on Yelp mentioning it a few times. We also wanted a few bites of something salty. Got there around 5:10 PMFood/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - shu mai was oily and doesn't taste strongly of anything. We couldn't really tell if it was a pork or seafood based nor what other ingredients were in itAmbience: 3/5 - only offers to go but it can get a little claustrophobic in there with all the boxes with very little standing roomService: 2/5 - The lady in front of me had quite a few questions and the server seemed impatient and kind of just stated "what you see is what you get". But since all the leftover was just mixed in two pot, for someone not as familiar, it's impossible to know what is what. When it was my turn, I asked if they still had egg tarts and the server sort of gestured around, did a clicking noise with her mouth, and stated they were out. It seemed like they just wanted to get out of there and were annoyed by questions... but it was super quick service because of it!Value for price: 2/5 - maybe the experience would be different if we get there earlier in the day but there are so many other options for us to try before coming here again
Pretty dang good. If you've never had a haam siu gok, it's a glutinous chewy rice ball with meat inside. I've had many from many places but this one was up there with the best. The shrimp dumpling (haa gow) was plump and pretty good too. Be prepared for a bit of a line and only no nonsense Asian ladies behind the counter.
I was excited to try this place after reading lots of glowing reviews only to find average food. Actually, the shrimp dumplings were great. But some of the Dim Sum was quite subpar, like the ShuMai. They even looked ugly. But the reviews and lady in front of me sweared otherwise. Yuck! The Bay Buns were NOT ample and were too sweet with not enough pork. We were a little ill after eating this repast. Not worth it. Subsequently, visited other places that were much better.
Came here after reading the reviews. As expected, it was the only bakery on the street with a queue of locals outside waiting for morning dim sum. It's quite good that there is a queue so you can prepare what you are going to order as you do feel a bit of pressure to be quick considering a lot of people are waiting, and I imagine if you've never had dim sum before it can be a daunting experience knowing what to ask for. Staff don't seem the most friendly but I think they are trying to serve as quickly as possible, and they aren't rude, just don't say much. The food itself was delicious and good size. Definitely great value and would recommend.
Heard reviews about the dim sum and stuffed rolls here. Ordered the BBQ pork bun and the pork dim sum. Bun was so fresh and tasty. Dim sum was good.
I wish I could break this review into several smaller reviews. Overall this was an amazing experience. Right in the heart of Chinatown, inside a TINY bakery with dozens of people behind me, it was exactly what I wanted. A little stressful because I didn’t (still don’t) know what to order and I didn’t want to hold up the line. There are dozens of options. I was fortunate to have a local couple in front of me who gave me several good recommendations. The prices were so low I felt comfortable ordering tons of food just to get a good sampling. I didn’t love everything I ordered, but I liked most of it, and that was the point!
