It’s just really, really nice food with really, really nice service. We had various dumplings to start, a few seafood dishes, a few veggie dishes, the Singapore noodles — all just very nice. And that service was lovely.

Heard this is an authentic dim sum restaurant , but it fell below my expectation. The rice rolls are not good while others are mediocre.

It's a refined place. Went during the week and had Two dishes. Forgot their names but they were really fresh and tasty. Bill was 100 bucks which means it's spendier than the average (I think. I'm not a local to Cali) but it was a treat!

I’m a Korean tourist visiting with my child. This is my second time here, and while the food is great, what really stood out was the kindness of one of the older male servers. His warm and friendly service made our meal even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you so much — your kindness truly made a difference! :)

Pick up order. In time, very fresh, hot and sent out so that we could add sauce to each dish and not have “mush” when we got home. Sweet and Sour Pork had perfectly crispy fried pork and the best sweet and sour sauce, (without the scary claggy goop). Fresh vegetables, and excellent Hong Kong noodles with peppered beef.
Outstanding dim sum (all we ordered) in an elegant setting, with highly attentive service. Tai Pan pays attention to the quality of their ingredients, and the dim sum is freshly made to order, not mass produced. This combination makes for an excellent dining experience.
The baked BBQ pork buns are a standout - probably the best I've had: well flavored (not overly sweet), lean meat in a fresh baked, delicate bun. The XLB is also exceptional - thin skin that packs a bundle of flavor (especially the ginger) in a generous serving. The stir-fried beef he fen (rice noodles) has just the right amount of flavor (good restraint on salt), with quality beef that's tender. Couldn't ask for better. The chang fen (glutinous rice flour wrap) is made with the kind of glutinous rice flour that delivers an authentic mouth feel (soft). We loved the 2 gao dishes we had, both with seafood & greens. The shrimp & chives gao was fabulous, perfectly flavored, and a (large) mouthful.
The only 2 dishes I wouldn't repeat are the pan fried stuffed tofu (tofu is too bland, and the wheat flour coating is a bit too tough - they should try rice flour), and the sesame balls (they're OK - not extraordinary).
This place delivered on the promise of an elevated ambience with truly attentive service. We never needed to ask for more hot water in the teapot, and had fresh napkins handed up just in time. The tea (Jasmin w chrysanthemum flowers) was really good quality. All the details were seen to with care. Despite the premium pricing, we would return and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great place for banquet and casual dining.

The food was very good. Service was excellent. The restaurant was full, but the noise level was very comfortable.

On the pricier side, but it is hard to find a traditional Cantonese place these days.
Wait staff are wearing changshan, and speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
Dimsum is made fresh, and I would especially recommend their萝卜丝酥饼 (baked radish puff), which is incredibly hard to find in dimsum restaurants in the US due to the skill needed to make it, and its lower popularity.
