First off lets start with some hours since you cant find any info on this place online and no one answers the phone: 11:30am-9:00pm every day. We got in at 11:30 on a Sunday morning and there were already several large groups seated. No carts here, which is the funnest part of dim sum. Aside from one guy who seems great the rest of the floor staff appears to not really know what theyre doing most of the time, very slow to clear tables, refill, etc. You order off of a checklist, and make sure you order everything you think you might want, as ordering more food will result in another long wait. There was a significant wait for our food and for the food at the other tables. We were seated for at least 30-35min before we got our various dishes. It wasnt much faster for any other group. Very small dining room and not much to look at so bring a book or some good conversation. THE FOOD: Awesome!!! Much, much, much better than what I was expecting! Ive had dim sum all over and this place stacks up very well. The steamed pork buns were great and quite large, the lotus leaf rice with meat was huge (one is plenty for 2-4 people), the chicken feet were very tender as well. The steamed dumplings were good, but not the best Ive had. Rice noodles with roast pork are excellent also. Shrimp toast was awesome and could have had a lot of that. Summary: A great place especially for Fort Myers. Weird disparity between the quality of the food and the service. Great food and crappy service. As far as price my wife and I gorged and the bill was $35...which was great for the amount of food we got. I highly recommend the place if youre looking for good dim sum down in SWFL, you wont find anywhere else that does it this well. Enjoy and Ill see you there!

First of all, the service in this restaurant is great. Everyone was helpful and willing to answer any question we had. Its obvious that people go to this place because of the service. The roast duck we ordered was excellent - crispy. However, the peking pork chop is a little less desirable - the sauce tastes different than any other Chinese restaurant weve ever been to. We didnt try the dim sum, maybe we shouldve. Again - GREAT service and good food - well try the dim sum the next time were in the area.

Best Dim Sum in town! Its the only real Chinese restaurant in Ft Myers area that serves authentic Chinese cuisine. Reminds me of a NY Chinatown restaurant when it used to be good. The only bummer was that they didnt have crispy duck at the time, so my wife pouted for a bit, hehe. But when they brought out the food we ordered ( a whole dim sum feast- sticky rice, dumplings and so much more), it was so good, I had to protect my plate from her! Now every time we go out for Chinese itll be to E.L.

AWFUL! We ordered for delivery and not only did it take an hour and a half to get to us (we only live a mile away) the delivery girl was an IDIOT, and there was sauce spilled on everything in the bag. Spicy general tso chicken was soggy, bland, and had more fat than meat. We threw most of it away, got maybe 9 pieces of chicken with soggy broccoli that was way overpriced. Everything was bland. TERRIBLE! Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE WE DID!

Waited for someone to seat us for a very long time. They said they would seat us then mins passed before they did as there were many tables available but none were clean. Service was very terrible and rude when we asked questions about combos. Had to ask for a lot of items like noodles, sauce for food, etc. The food is really delicious which is probably the only good thing about the restaurant.

Had pan fried noodle house specialty which you cant find at most places and it was delicious. Here on vacation and wanted chinese - someone from Target recommended it and it was every bit worth it. Prices are reasonable - staff was very friendly and helpful - and food was excellent. Will probably even go back there.....

It was okay. Not bad, not amazing. They wouldnt let me trade out lo-mein for chow-mein for the lunch special even though theyre the same price. Food was hot, a bit tasteless. A little on the slow side but I made sure I paid as soon as I got my food so I could jet out and get back to work. Would maybe come back.

Im a regular customer here because the Dim Sum and all other items are outstanding. Upon my request, Eric will points me toward traditional Chinese menu items. I keep a stash of my Gluten Free Soy Sauce there and he brings it out when I come in. This is the only Dim Sum in the area, but excellent anyway.

Low key Chinese food for people looking for authenticity--service is spotty but our family weighs that in hand with how much we do like their food so....just something we are willing to adjust to... The best dim sum available in the area--comparable to the cart dim sum places in SF, Houston, NYC

DJs never fails to impress! The food is phenomenal, and they are always very cautious about allergens. I always have Lisa as my server and she always goes above and beyond! Shes very helpful, very personable, and always serves with a smile.

Best won-ton soup in town, hands down. They welcome carnivores like myself, and wont flip out if you ask for no veggies. Portions are more than generous and always flavorful - the garlic chicken is one of my favorites.

A wonderful quiet low key atmosphere. Colorful decor without being tacky. A wonderful experience and family friendly. The food is excellent and we had fast service. The staff is very friendly and on-the-ball.

Best fresh delicious Chinese. The Rangoons are made perfect the food is perfect. Clean restaurant and nice service. Best Chinese in Fort Myers. Hands down better than P.F. Changs. You will love it here.

This has to be the top Chinese spot in Fort Myers. The service is excellent and always friendly, the food is great, and the prices are hard to beat. Good vegetarian options.

As authentic as we have found in SW Florida. Szechuan beef had the right amount of sweet-hot flavor. Plenty of meat, sauce and vegetables. Will definitely be back.

This place had the worst Chinese imaginable, besides being very greasy there was no flavor. The Orange Beef was very bland, no spice in it!
