The food overall was nice and the environment was beautiful. Only the steam riceballs were a little unfully cooked

BEST place to eat on University Ave! Authentic Cantonese style food with the best staff and a great atmosphere. Great place to go with friends.
Great services and great food. I love the huge veggie plates. They also have chrysanthemum tea, which can be harder to find and it’s delicious.

Mediocre food not exciting. Service feels only half way continental so mismatch for Palo Alto prices.

Not recommending this place, they force tipping 18%. Not sure that’s allowed. Food is so so, small portion

They have a total of seven different kinds of gluten free dumplings (four with meat or seafood, and three vegetarian ones). Having so many gluten free dumpling options is almost unheard of. We ordered all of them and were very impressed. Tasty, generous portions and clean feeling because of the water-based cooking.

Me and my family ate here for diner. After we paid the bill. We left a 20 dollar tips. That the service wasnt even great. We had to ask for everything. Then as we were leaving the lady sever checked our bill and said you only left 20. That surprised me when she said that. That was super rude. I will call and ask for the management tomorrow to fix this problem.

Good place to get dim sum, but not too many options. The dumplings and buns we got were delicious! But the lotus leaf was not our favorite.

This place was such a treat and everything was so good! All of the flavors were great, savory, fresh, and satisfying. We ordered the sautéed spinach and garlic, the XLB, the Shrimp Xiu Mai, Taiwanese noodles, custard buns, and BBQ pork buns.
All dishes were great! I loved the xiu mai and my husband loved the bbq pork buns especially.
Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!
Dishes were very flavorful and very generous portions! 1 dish per person is more than enough
Delicious dumplings and good variety. Nice inside room and a small patio.
I will come back to try more.
Amazing experience. The place is so comfortable to enjoy a wholesome meal
