Dim Sum
(718) 680-2278

The dim sum quality is definitely going downhill since pandemic time. The skins of steamed shrimp dumplings is dry, shrimp is not fresh. Beef meat ball is mostly corn starch and can’t taste the beef much. Not worthy of visiting at all. Save your money for other dim sum place.

All dishes were tasty and fresh. Beef, shrimp, noodles, and veggie dishes were well presented and tasty.The price on the lobsters was less than others. Very attentive staff.New go to on 65th st.

Had to get here pretty early (9:15 am) — the place filled up very quickly after lunch. We got lucky with parking, park nearby has free parking on Sundays. It’s pretty standard & good for big groups.

It's a decent place. Not bad. But not the best.

First time coming after the name change. We came after the dim sum rush, but they still had some that were fresh. We ordered the chicken feet, meat balls, bean curd rolls and the shrimp dumplings which was the best out of all the dim sum dishes we picked up. The beef chow fun was a bit of a disaster. The noodles were all cut up and the onions that were included were burned. On top of that they charged close to eighteen where you can get that for a third less in Chinatown, NYC.

In my opinion this is the best Chinese family style restaurant in Brooklyn. Food is very good and service has much improved from years past. If you're looking for traditional Chinese family style food, this place is it

Decent place for dim sum. Went on a Sunday morning at 11:00. the restaurant is taking all the necessary step of cleaning the plates and tea cups in front of you.

Great big palace

I had a so-so experience here. The xia-jiao didn't taste too good. For those who want to know, xia-jiao is 虾饺. It is a dumpling made with transparent dough wrapping a shrimp in the middle. Anyway, other than the xia-jiao, everything else was tasty. The prices is a bit steeper than where I am used to going. Expect yourself to pay roughly $60 to $70 for three people dim sum. Not too bad, but not too impressive.

Very good steamed rice roll with beef! It was smooth and silky good!
