Let me start off with what was good: the pork buns, the pork and shrimp dim sum, the tripe, and the coconut pudding dessert. The pork bun itself wasnt doughy, and the filing was rich with pork flavor, although there should have been more filling. The pork and shrimp dim sum was flavorful and juicy, and the tripe was tender and tasty (not funky at all). The coconut pudding-which was more like a cross between a panna cotta and jelly-was refreshing, and had just the right amount of sweetness and coconut flavoring-Im also sure its homemade! Now what was not so good: The shrimp and scallion dumplings lacked flavor and the wrapper was pasty, and the wonton soup was standard Chinese-American. The hot oil was spicy, but lacked any flavor of note. This is just the first outing here however, and theres way more I want to try!

Have ordered food from here several times and it has been great. However, I ordered food for my family who came from out of town last weekend and everyone developed nausea and mild upper abdominal pain. One out of the five members had several episodes of vomiting about two hours after the meal. These symptoms, if developed after eating fried rice, are highly indicative of either poor temperature control or re-heating the rice. Since we ate the food as soon as it arrived and did not re-heat the food at home, the restaurant either made the food too soon prior to delivery without adequate temperature control or re-heated the rice. Sad to say, but will probably never order food from here again.

While the food was delicious the wait staff could use some improvement. We ate here on weekend when they have push-cart dim sum. Multiple times the waitresses would put a dish on our table and add it to our bill when we were only asking what it was. Also multiple times they would simply leave while we were still looking what they had available giving us only seconds to decide. Furthermore, we placed orders for things that werent on the push cart (the waitresses said we could) and they were given to other tables at least twice. The food was very good but try going on a weekday, when they serve regular dim sum. The roast pork pies were delicious

I was a very loyal customer/client. Recommend the food and place to several people. Unfortunately I was treated extremely rude ny an older woman. Not sure of she was the owner or what. But she screamed at me and at the young lady helping me behind the counter. Not the 1st time I see that woman being rude to other customers and employees. For this reason I have not gone back and refuse to return. I recommend Lees take out just as good and no rude people

I love this restaurant. The food is Cantonese and absolutely AMAZING, the atmosphere is relaxing and sophisticated and everytime I go I see at least 3 Asian people I know! If you know a dish that isnt on the menu and they know what you are talking about they will actually make it for you.... beef congie. They serve dim sum in the mornings. During the weekend get there early as it packs up later on and they serve by cart... very nice!

The waitress didnt know how to be a waitress. She gave me menu, stood there. I told her i needed time yet she stood there. I felt very very uncomfortable, i just needed some space therefore i was pressured to make a choice. The food was terrible. Then when it came time to pay. I tipped $2, the waitress fought me and argued that it has to be 15%, made me give her 15. Embarrassing me. I was made embarassed infront of everyone

People that rave about this place probably have never actually dim sum at an ACTUAL decent place that they can compare it to. Horrible. Dim sum comes cold more often than not, tasting like its been sitting around for hours. Expensive for dim sum, too. Also, they are very underhanded with the check, sometimes tacking on the gratuity without telling you, and other times not. There are better places, avoid...

Good food but really bad service. Worst waitress we have ever seen. We almost got no service. We had to go get our own cup and napkin. So we left 10% tip just as to understand they might be a bit busy. But that waitress waited till we signed the check, picked up the check in front of our face and questioned us with horrible attitude ... We had a really unpleasant experience.

I was impressed with the small touches: the person who brought the food did not have to ask which food went to which person. When we were finished another server asked if we wanted dessert to which we replied in the negative. When he brought the obligatory fortune cookies he also brought sweet orange slices;2 for each person . We will definitely return!

This restaurant is very bad, i was the only customer in this restaurant at that time, they took way too long to make the food, because i was not happy with the service, i didnt give too much tips to her, but she wasnt satisfied and ask for more tips. By the way, this is the second time that they ask me for more tips.

Dim sum was pretty good. I give them an A for not making the dim sum very salty. Unfortunately, we came to the restaurant a little late so there wasnt much to choose from. However, the food was a little bit cold. Again, maybe because we got there closer to 2pm, but I felt they should have been warm.

Years ago when me and my wife "discovered" it , it became our favorite Chinese restaurant . Always great service and they dont mind customizing an order. Best flavor and very consistent . Great choices and quick service........I guess you might have noticed by now , that we like it a lot.Enjoy!

Excellent Dimsum! Reasonable prices and good service. The Youn Chow Fried Rice and the Shrimp with Walnuts is a MUST in this place. I love to get together with my family or boyfriend here. Nice TVs to watch some sports or news. The owner is always there checking on everything.

This restaurant proudly serves shark fin soup where they kill an entire shark just for its fin. Its a disgusting practice and shark is toxic to humans. Shark fins have dangerous neurotoxins that will lead to degenerative brain disease. I will NEVER eat at this restaurant again.

i went to eat there today when i drove by, food there was just okay, service was horrible. it took them forever to get our food ready, and there were just a few people there. i tipped them two dollars out of 15 after we done, but the girl worked there looks unhappy with it.

Authentic yet tailored to both Chinese and American audiences. The dim sum carts are fun and provide tasty options. Bring a good group of people and share and try many options. Kinda hard eating alone here though.

Excellent food. Weekend deals and you better be prepared to eat good chinese dumplings. Come between 1030 and 1300 hours. After that things begin to slow down, but you still great food. I highly recommended!!!

My son and I had the fried chicken dumplings, the shrimp and scallion steamed dumplings, some spring rolls and chow mein. We liked everything. It was fast and hot. The service was excellent.

Really horrible customer service and the food was horrible. Because I did not like the food or service I gave a 10% tip and the waitress berated me for more. I should have given 0
