A new opened restaurant. This is an express dim sum restaurant, as the name indicates. Because it’s to go dum sum, so I don’t have much expectations.The store is small. From first impression, it was partially clean. However, if you sit at the table, you would see the table was actually dirty because it wasn’t clean up after the previous customers.Service was quick because not many customers present. I saw there’s only one staff and he might be the owner.The taste was average, pretty much like frozen dim sum getting reheated. The price was pretty cheap, so it’s good for budgetary reasons.Overall, for a quick dim sum store, it’s 3/5 based on my experience only.Parking: Plenty of free parking lots in the mallWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible in the mall

For a mall food court type of restaurant, it's definitely not bad at all. Came here a few times and food are all great. Crispy shrimp dumplings are the way to go. Prices not bad either, customer service is also great. I grew up near the mall and the previous business before this place opened up closed down pretty quick. Hope this one stays around for a long time

They have the best fresh dimsum. We first ordered #2 & 3 and then ordered #19. We were not able to take a picture of the first two because we immediately consume it. Noodles are freshly cooked.

I found this place while stopping at Target. The dim sum was pretty good and fresh. I had the crystal shrimp, green chive, and pot stickers for dim sum.

My daughter found this place when we went to lunch while waiting for our movie to start. The pork buns hands down are the best I have ever had. They have just the right amount of pork in the center, not shady, and the crust is the best part of it. Their custard mini pies are delicious too. If you go to the mall stop by to try one of their tasty choices.

I'm no dim sum expert but I liked everything I got here! I went back with a craving for more:) Made fresh to order!

Just tried for the first time. Grabbed a variety of dim sum pieces to check it out. Honestly blown away. I liked and would order every piece I tried again. I was sorry I didn't order a couple more potstickers. Look forward to trying the XLB next time. Love that you can order by individual pieces, especially when dining alone.

The food is good and the service friendly and prompt. I ordered shrimp dumplings and the shrimp/pork shumai. The mall in general is dead these days, so I wasn't surprised that no one was at the dim sum place. So I was a little worried but gave it a shot anyways. Glad I did. It did the trick to fulfill my dim sum cravings. Will return if they're still around...

Tried the fried rice and chow main meals, both were good. My wife liked the chow main especially. First time to check out the place.

Fried rice is amazing and the food is always fresh! Definitely my favorite place to eat in the mall! Staff is friendly and the tables are clean and ready for dine in!

Really good dim sum. Really surprised. Order the siu mai pork and shrimp. Not dry. Taste fresh. Looks good. I'd recommend. Even though it's in a mall definitely can see it going far. If not then people sleeping on it.

Not expecting much. This is mall Dim Sum, after all. I spied this clean restaurant after picking up my favorite unsweetened fresh lemon tea from Happy Lemon across the aisle. I was slightly amused at the very thorough and giant curtain of plastic separating the worker from customers. There were not very many offerings visible in the glass case, the gentleman behind the curtain explained that most items were made to order. I ordered Shanghai dumplings, a baked pork bun and one potsticker. 15 minutes later order was ready. Soup dumplings or Xiao Long Bao are problematic, but delicious. They are usually quite a bit larger than these and filled with scalding soup that leaks out and burns my mouth. These were tiny enough to pop whole into my mouth, the skin was delicate and delicious, but substantial enough to stay until bitten into. The soup was flavorful and hot, but not to the point of boiling. The one perfect pan fried potsticker was my favorite: a large, four bite, perfectly pan seared pork present. No condiments or sauces needed. I tasted ginger and green onion, I think. I have not tried my baked bun yet, because It was sitting in the display case and I wanted to focus on the fresh items. This place is great! Much better than sitting, waiting for steam carts to come by with your favorite items and settling for other things that do come by so that you get 6 or 7 items, and pay a lot of money for them, when you only really love 2 or 3 the things that you ordered. In this case, I loved the things that I ordered and the total cost for more than I could eat, was 14.95.
