Finally tried this restaurant after trying almost all the other restaurants in this strip mall. The restaurant claims its cuisine is from one of the southern Chinese provinces but after going in and talking to the employees they actually serve Cantonese style cuisine. Disappointing. We tried a few classic dim sum dishes mostly mid. A few other tofu dishes were 6.5/10, duck tasted like it had been sitting out for a while, not fresh and the skin was not crispy like how it's supposed to be. The interior feels very old and tired like the staff. This restaurant has been around for a few decades before better selections started to pop up around the Convoy area. It's clear that they could get away with their mid-quality Chinese food with a clientele that doesn't know better from 3+ decades ago. However it's a shame this restaurant didn't both to try to keep up with the times and it doesn't seem like they will either. There's much better restaurants in this strip mall so give this place a HARD PASS.

The food itself was too breaded and salty for our taste, but the service was fantastic and felt truly welcomed!

A good overall experience. No issues with service, food quality, or location — of course, a little hard to find parking but that's just because the area has so many good places to eat.
I liked the traditional qualities, and the lack of ornate niceties so common to Western-styled restaurant. Here, it feels like your old Chinese restaurant that's been there for many years faithfully.

I rarely write negative reviews, but I left this experience feeling disappointed and honestly, hurt. We arrived as a group of four, asking for a table for ten. The staff set it up, but no one told us when it was ready—we just stood there awkwardly waiting with our guests, including a child with a disability and four young track and field athletes, all under the age of 12. I eventually had to interrupt and ask to be seated because no one was acknowledging us.
We were trying to share a special moment with friends who had driven in from Bakersfield. Instead, we were met with a lack of attention and what felt like indifference. I had to ask twice just to get water for the kids and a pot of tea. The service felt cold, as if we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. Two of the track coaches with us felt so uncomfortable with the attitude of the waitress that they left before we even finished our meal.
To make matters worse, after paying the bill—without any real acknowledgment or thanks—our kids were overlooked when it came to something as simple as fortune cookies. They saw other tables receiving them, and when we asked, we were brushed off. It may seem small, but to a child, moments like that stick. It was just one more reminder that we were not being treated with the same care as others.
We came in as a group of respectful, paying customers hoping to enjoy a meal and support a local business. Instead, we left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. I truly wish it had been different.

San Diego is plagued by bad dim sum. Jasmine was crap, this place is worse when it comes to food. Everything is old, dry and unseasoned. I see other patrons ordering fried noodles though so maybe that's edible here.
Seriously, we got all the dimsum staples and they were all trash. Chicken feet was among the worst. Seems like it's been steaming to 2 days. Tea was good though.
Awesome, fresh food. Salt and pepper chicken wings are very good.

Both beef hor fun and Steamed red snapper turned out to be a disappointment. There is no wok qi in the beef hor fun dish. Steamed fish is not fresh and slightly fishy. Large oyster dish is good. We are given complimentary egg tarts that look sad and likely are left over from lunch time. Unfortunately I will not recommend this place for dinner. Is costs us almost $100 for just these 3 dishes.

I had the egg soup, very tasty with a side of fried wonton ( added crunch). I also ordered a beef with fried egg noodles ? and bockchoy dish. The beef was tender and serving was adequate. My beverage was a pot of hot tea. Total price $20. The decor was traditional Chinese similar to a New York China town restaurant. I will return soon.

The food was not bad, the portion is much less than other Chinese Restaurants. The restaurant owner is too stingy on their portions. They charge a premium price for little portion of food.
polite staff and good food
