It's a good lunch spot and usually have my meals with hot tea and some other drink. Use the menu and point to clarify which order you want. It really helps them and makes it easier for both sides. The table sauces are labeled. Don't expect anything fancy and don't feel bad if you can't use chopsticks. Servers are people too and they'll understand. There are no parking spots nearby since it's under a tunnel and near a bus stop. It's also across from a hotel.

Pretty sad dim sum. The shrimp dumpling does not have whole shrimp in them, tastes mushy, and was presented weirdly with this long plate with 5 holes. The beef stir fry rice noodles are very sticky and mushy as well. The sew mai skins are falling off. Nothing looks appetizing and the service is very disappointing. They have a very limited choice for dim sum too even though dim sum is in their name. Most of the items are Americanized Chinese food. The servers don’t care and they carried our dish (the long plate) by flinging it around.

Great food! Recommend getting Steamed Crab Meat Pork Soup Dumplings, Steamed Chicken Soup Dumpling, Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling and Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Dumpling. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxing. … More
