The Cantonese Dim sum is very good, exquisite, beautiful, and reasonably priced. But the service provided by the waitress was quite poor. Two Cantonese speaking waitresses were attentive and attentive when they met white people, and there was almost no communication when they met Asians. My order was missing one dish, and when I asked her if she had missed a meal, she just let out a sigh of apology and didn't even bother to say that having a delicious Chinese restaurant in such a bustling area would have been a good thing, but such a snobbish waitress greatly reduced the score

Shockingly good food. I walked in expecting bland non traditional dim sum, but I was surprised. Although there was many fusion elements, the food was high quality and delicious. The truffle chicken was amazing.

I came pretty hungry, so ordered more than I was able to eat. It was around 4pm, so few people were at the restaurant. I received the dishes very fast, and each one was tasty. Especially liked beef, but dim sum did not disappoint. The service was nice and quick. The restaurant is clean and nice. It was pretty quiet, though not clear how it feels when it is full. Generally I liked this experience.

Chef Tony in Pasadena is an upscale take on dim sum style dishes and authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's modern and elegant decor creates a welcoming atmosphere. The menu might be a little overwhelming for people who aren't familiar with classic Chinese dishes, nevertheless this place offers something for everyone. The presentation of some of the dishes like the the Bunny Coconut Pudding and the Lava Egg Yolk Bun are worth trying if you want something new. Overall, this place is good enough if the wait isn't too long. There is also a location in Arcadia that we go to all the time.

Lunch hour is busy, understandable but when you’ve been standing at the door waiting for the host/hostess to sit you & no one comes, it’s frustrating. We had to call them on the phone to respond. I’ve been to the one in Sing & Manila, the quality is good but when they serve your order in a weird sync, it’s bothersome (the soup came in the middle after the siomai, chicken feet & fried string beans & the sweet balls meant for dessert come before the beef noodles & the rice then you’re really off. Service could have been better. Maybe next time ?

OK, I love Dim Sum. This one doesn't have the carts, but it doesn't matter. I loved the three things I ate. The cost will add up, especially when I am alone, but surprisingly, it wasn't that bad and I was very full, having had 3 dishes. I am definitely going again. I spent just over $20 so I had to put $20-$30 but for how much I got and how wonderful it was, I was happy.

Based on the reviews we had only modest expectations. However we stuck to Dim Sum which were really tasty and well prepared. Plenty of other diners to give the place a decent atmosphere too. Good value.

First time here, the food was pretty good, coconut pudding dessert was ok, service was good, restaurant is very clean. I highly recommend the cucumber salad, and Seafood Congee. I will definitely be back.

Very clean and also they were able to remove the smell of pork very well. All of the food taste amazing, and sweet and out soup is a new experience for me. I did not know that truffles goes well with dim sum. One minor drawback is that causes (saysause, chili sauce, xiaolongbao sauce, and oyster sauce) aren't very good. Food is week seasoned and good taste, so I did not use the sauce, but if the dipping sauce is improved, then it would be perfect place for dim sum.

Greasy, salty, poorly cooked food. The chicken soup was cold and it wasn’t really soup, just broth with a chicken foot, which was an unpleasant surprise. We found a stone in one of the dumplings.

Walked by from our hotel and saw several tables eating good looking food. Stopped in to check it out. We sat at a high-top in the bar area (brighter and more casual). We ordered pork bun, a noodles dish and the rice noodles with veggies. All were delicious and generous portions. The only negative - we waited for our bill, in fact after sitting for about 15mins after our table was cleared we had to ask.
