Don’t be fooled by the low ratings! The dim sum we tried were delicious. The shrimp dumplings had perfectly thin wrappers and a hearty filling. Another classic, the siumai was also great, with a good balance of shrimp and pork. I loved the seafood tart which had a nice and sweet mayonnaise sauce that made it super creamy. My highlights were definitely the crispy prawn rice rolls, as it was both crunchy and chewy from the skin, as well as the steamed bbq pork buns. It had a generous amount of filling, and the best part was the bun itself, which was soft yet it didn’t stick to my teeth. Perfect balance!

One thing I would skip, however, would be the lemon bbq pork pastry, as I thought the pastry was quite thick and not delicate enough.

Overall, a solid dim sum spot!

My wife and I visited Vancouver after one year, we went to have lunch today with my mom at this restaurant the first time. We found this Dimsum even tastes better than Tokyo’s finest dim sum, where we stayed. All dim sums were great, I particularly like their shrimp dumplings, sticky rice and spring roll. In the past, we usually go to Richmond for Dimsum whenever we visit Vancouver. Now this place will be our to-go dim sum restaurant in Vancouver.

The food here is pretty good and we didn’t experience any poor service. The wait staff were actually really nice. There was one lady who we didn’t have much interaction with who seemed to have a bit of an attitude.

The free 2hr parking below ground is really good. The place is overall fairly comfortable. They have nice high ceilings and it doesn’t feel too loud or crowded inside.

We were visiting from the East Coast and enjoyed the quietly refined atmosphere with friends.The selections we made were beef, chicken, scallops, rice, and greens. The portions were generous and everything was delicious and flavorful. Tea was hot and served continuously. The cookies were a just right finish and not too sweet. Overall, a wonderful evening.

Parking: Parking was accessed under Whole Foods with elevator access from street level and the garage. I’m unsure if garage was paid for or not as I was not the driver.

Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator at entrance was easy to get to from all floors, garage, street level and garage. We did have a member of our party with mobility issues and it was easy to navigate.

My group of friends and I was there yesterday to eat. At first everything was great. Is convenient in parking and easy to find the place. Foods were great and service was great at first. Till the paying moment things became so wrong. When we pay I added tip on card. I click on 20% and the waitress pull the machine back and ask for cash instead and said “$10 (usd) cash” so I though she ask just 10 in cash is good enough. I felt bad if just 20 so I end up giving her $20usd. She took it and walk away. I saw her walk away and put the cash in her own pocket. I end up still got charge 20% tip in card when I already gave tip in cash. That server is very dishonest. Everyone please be careful when you pay. The server took my tip is a woman with short. She’s very dishonest and I believed she tip that cash to herself and doesn’t share to other servers. Real good foods but will never come back because of the dishonest.

I made an online reservation two weeks in advance for lunch on Saturday but they sent an email to me at 9pm Friday said my reservation has been canceled without any explanation.

been sitting here over 30 mins. no one care to take our order, and it seems no that busy at the restaurant thought. very disappointed.

One restaurant’s senior waitress has been very rude since we walked in. Yelling with loud voice while vigorously shaking table cloth. It’s like she doesn’t want to see customers dining there. And then she was standing right behind the customer and watching customer paying bill and showed very cold attitude and voice. We were thinking about paying 20% tips but because of her lousy and bad attitude, we decided not to pay that much. She has to learn to improve her wrong attitude of service. So this is Michelin one star restaurant service?! We never experience such cold and rude service when we went to other Michelin starred restaurants. Oh, on ripe that, there was food flies around the food.
