We came at 10am on a Saturday and the restaurant was empty when we got there. When we left at 11:30 the whole restaurant was basically full. They serve everything in the carts. There's some things that they won't have in the carts which then they will tell you to tick off on the paper to order it.We ordered steamed beef trip in special sauce ($9.28), steamed rice flour roll with scallops and seaweed ($9.88), deep fried sesame balls ($8.58), deep fried milk custard ($8.58), pork and shrimp dumpling shao mai ($8.38), har gao ($8.38), deep fried taro ($8.38), steamed pork ribs ($7.88). Tea is $1.50 each personThe steamed beef tripe in special sauce had a strong tripe flavour in a good way. You could taste the innards flavour. Some restaurants bleach it and clean it really well so that you can taste it but this place has cleaned it just enough. Flavour was good and I would order this againRice roll with seaweed and scallops. There were slices of scallops throughout the rice roll. This rice roll is different from the rice rolls you usually have at dimsum. It's not chewy like the ones you find at other restaurants. Instead it's really smooth and has a slight rice flavour. According to my grandma, this is the way it's meant to be. The ones that are chewy and bouncy is the new way of doing it now. This one is based on personal preference. If you like traditional style, this is the way to go.Deep fried sesame balls were not too sweet on the inside but the outside was too thick (also not chewy enough) and it wasn't crispy enough outside. We found out later that they have a different kind that's the thinner one. This one is pushed out on carts and not on the sheet so be warned if you are looking for the thin skin one.The shrimp dumplings or har gao were okay. Lots of shrimp inside and very bouncy but the outside skin was a tad too thickThe taro fried dumpling was not crispy and flaky enough for me. The inside filling was pretty decentThe pork shrimp shao mai dumpling was pretty good. Lots of pork little shrimp which is how it should be. It had a good bite too it and was well flavoredThe pork ribs were not bad. Meat was soft and portion was big.The fried milk dessert was interesting and definitely not what we were expecting. You drink the milk custard that's inside. Outside is crispy but also not hot. Inside was cold as well. Interesting but would only order it once.Overall dimsum was not bad. They have dishes here you might not find elsewhere. No major faults. Some of the servers pushing the carts can be a bit pushy. They try to sell you the dishes that have been sitting their the longest. Other than that the other servers are really nice and fast. They have servers specifically just to pour tea and get the bill. Would I recommend it? Probably not as none of the dishes stand out. But if you are looking for some solid run of the mill dimsum. Then this place is actually not bad

Delicious dim sum. Order from the menu or get food from the rolling carts. Make a reservation if you want a table because this place is always busy.

Great food. I love all their dimsums. Their tea is really strong, not just hot water with some loose tea. Excellent service comparing to other Chinese restaurants I have visited so far. Will definitely visit again for our next dimsum meal.

Been coming here since 2014. All in all it's a good dimsum restaurant- one of the few that still uses carts.The price is pretty high for some reason. It seems to be catered towards the higher echelon, but the dimsum has good deals in the morning.Service is not bad. Ppl here are pretty nice lol. We always take our friends because they get the job done.

I think the servers were jmnot happy to serve our table every time when I wanted some thing i had to wait for a long time and always had to wave to call the server. The other tables were served very well.

There are many kinds of dishes and the service attitude is good. I will consider bringing friends here to try it next time.Parking: There are other businesses nearby, and the parking spaces are slightly insufficient, making it difficult to park.

The dim sum was pretty good. One of the better priced I have seen around the Lower Mainland. Service is a hit or miss.

Friendly but the taste is actually mediocre. The best tasting Chinese restaurants are in Richmond. The price is ok. However, there are always so many people. Some dim sum are classic.
