This place is closed during shelter-in-place and do not order pick up or delivery through Yelp/Grubhub. You will get an order confirmation and even "order is ready to pick up." But NOOOO, it's closed.

If there's one good damn reason to come here it's solely for the peking duck. At first glance it may seem like a small dish but I assure you, with the buns and veggies that it comes with, it is sure to fill up two hungry people. The juices, fat, and meat from the cuts of duck are to die for. One of the few places that serve peking duck very well. The atmosphere is on the older/decadent side of things but it is great for any kind of event. On normal weekdays, this place is a nice, quiet, and isolated spot to enjoy lunch or dinner. The only gripe I have is that I wish they would make the peking duck serving larger so that you can share it more people or have more for yourself, haha.

This restaurant is my favorite. I eat in many restaurants but here I go the most. The crew is very helpful and the cuisine they offer is so appetizing. I would always prefer to have a nice meal in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Very wishy-washy about their dim sum prices. Normally there's a price listed for each size n item, not this place. Also they are sneaky about the service charges (tips). No mention of it, it's added to the total. For people who don't know, which is hard to figure out when they don't itemize your food charges, you pay tips twice! Doing a great business is not the same as secretly charging people tips or not itemizing food price. They should be ashamed

Large selection of Dim Sum and other foods and good, high price and a lot of comfortable seats.

I was super excited to come with my husband and his family for a dim sum breakfast. Sadly it was a disappointment due to the service. We had a large group and they sat us way in the back. My mother-in-law requested taro for my nieces to eat since they are picky. She asked 5 times before finally when our table was done with the meal they brought it. It was very frustrating because the girls were starving and being as patient as they could. Another reason why I rate this restaurant so low is how the cart people treated our table. They would just walk by without asking if we wanted anything: 1) to avoid being asked where the taro was 2) they were busy talking with people at another table. When they did come to our table there was no explanation as to what some dishes were. The food was okay. I did enjoy some of the dishes I was able to try. We also appreciated how they put our cake in the fridge to keep cold. However, if took forever to receive the bill but as soon as the the card was place they took it swiftly, only to make us wait forever for them to return my card. All in all I think I will pass on coming back to this place for dim sum.

Waited only 10 minutes for seating and within seconds, they brought over carts full of dim sum. We loved it! Decor is kind of old but I don't care about that. Food was great.

Boom! What did I just eat? We were seated and immediately were bombarded with amazing dim sum. There was no wait time, the staff practically placed the food into the lowest hole on my head. I will come back. I'd rent a booth there if it weren't all tables. I'm already married, but I'd leave her just to get remarried to this dim sum. Damn you're conservative marriage laws, California.

I came here alone and wanted to try out the dim sums. The food is pretty average but when I receive the bill I could not believe it. First of all, they gave me 2 dishes that claim to be large order and chef special? What a rip off. Then it was the 15% service charge. Ridiculous! Never come here again. Be aware. Just go to mayflower or koi palace you end up paying less and way better dim sum.

Good place for dim sum. Apparently this place is pretty popular because there are tons of ppl waiting outside on a busy Sunday. The wait wasn't too bad. Even though there was a lot of people, the wait went by pretty quickly. We were inside in about 20 minutes. For those of you that have never been to dim sum, be ready, cuz the food comes by quick in carts. And if you want something you gotta let the cart woman know. But be careful, because if you don't tell them clearly that you don't want an item they're trying g to push on you, they'll just put it in your table and stamp your card. Overall, the dim sum was good, and maybe a dollar or two more than other places I've been to, but it was still good.

This place was great for dim sum. I came here with a couple of friends and there were a lot of people waiting. Luckily, the wait wasn't as bad as it seemed. We only waited about 20 minutes. I think it also helped that someone in our group spoke canto. Especially when ordering. We ordered a lot of plates. The service was quick and you have to be clear about what you want and what you don't want. Sometimes the ladies will try to give you something unless you specifically say you don't want it. Also, if you don't see what you want, let them know because it may end up coming later when you're full

A good traditional dimsum place.

My parents and I met up here on Christmas morning. We agreed to meet at 10:40 to beat the crowd. It was a wise choice but nothing was really ready by the time we were seated. Granted my parents showed up about 15 min. prior so they grabbed a table and started ordering. When Gavin and I arrived we saw 2 orders of fried shrimp balls and 2 orders of the shrimp stuffed mushrooms w/ black bean sauce on the table. Gavin waited long for the steamed tripe but I must say that even though the kitchen appeared rather slow this one sweet Vietnamese woman helped us by keeping an eye on what we want then grabbing it for us before it had a chance to be stacked on the carts for everyone else to pick and enjoy. I can't complain because these folks were working on a holiday. P.S. Parking sucks. P.P.S. If you don't want to wait, come 30-40 min. after they open.

Went here for the first time. Came here a few minutes before they open. The service here was alright. Got here right on time for Dim Sum. They seated us way in the back and when the lady push the cart out they would pass our table and didn't even ask if we wanted anything from the cart. We ask a waiters to order us 3 plates of deep fried taro and it took them 30 minutes to come out. We have to ask them to go double check or else we would of waited longer. Over all its an okay restaurant.
