Food was okay. Service was slow because of short staff (which they noted on the front door) but two employees (maybe owners) could've helped the waitresses. One waitress was fantastic. She walked fast and with a purpose, she was very consistent. Food came out fast. Few things were soggy but not too bad. Good variety of dim sum options. They stayed behind the back counter. No one was at the front door. Customers had to write their own name on the list to wait for a table. Interior of the restaurant was very outdated and gloomy. Don't think I'll ever be back here.

Chicken wings ??? I was informed that they weren’t whole chicken wings however, I don’t know what these were that they decided to feed me. I was supposed to get 6 chicken wings for almost $9 and this is what I got. I had two flats that looked like they were thrown in the grease naked. I peeled the skin off and gave my 2 year old the meat because he was hungry . And I wasn’t impressed with the fried rice either. They have good reviews so I’m thinking maybe the chicken just isn’t good or they were having a bad day… they did say they were short staffed.

As the only Dim Sum restaurant, I have to rate it against out-of-town restaurants. We waited an hour to be seated. They seated others who came after us before us without explanation. They seemed short staffed for the lunch rush. Service made you feel like you are on an assembly line.The dim sum was average. The turnip cake needed a couple of more minutes on the pan. The Shui Mai and shrimp dumplings were good, but tasted commercial. The bon bao were small. We tried it.

The best Chinese food in the area, hands down. Absolutely incredible and varied selection of adventurous, authentic dishes and fresh dim sum. The sesame balls filled with sweet bean paste are indescribably glorious in texture and flavor. The chili oil has a deeply complex and smoky character. Unreal, please visit

Not sure about the regular menu, but the pork buns on the dim sum menu are very good. I'll admit, I've ordered some things I ended up not liking but the few dishes I order every time are always done well.I think maybe this place should consider doing a smaller menu.

So this place was justifiably packed, and there was a wait for a table even at almost 2pm. They do seem a little short staffed like everywhere is the days, but mostly the food is great. I loved in China for 3 years, and these flavors, especially from the dim sum menu, brought me right back there. Very good. I suggest going either right when they open, or skip lunch and go for a 3 in the afternoon feast so you can try everything.

Best authentic Chinese food around. And Dim sum on the weekends. Best Wonton soup I have ever tasted. Honk Kong style. The shrimp balls are amazing. But the best is the fried Garlic ribs.

We really enjoyed the dim sum. It has been 3 years since I last had dim sum. The restaurant also offered Pu-erh tea and the staff speaks Cantonese. We will definitely be back for more.

First rate Chinese cuisine! Excellent service. I had the Beef with Wonderful Sauce. It was! My tablemates had Moo Shu pork and Chicken Curry. I tried both and was pleased to participate. Definitely will be back!

Good food its just taking forever to serve the food because they all freshly cooked.
