We totally recommend this place: the food was delicious, but the heart and soul of this place is Carmen, the waitress. With her amazing smile and sense of humor she made our day! Carmen you are the best!! :)

Definitely more than a 3 star, not quite a 4 like City View or Lai Hong but still a fairly solid place for dim sum .. more like a 3.75 .. specializing in cheung fun .. 9.1.25 update - beef meatball with tangerine peel bits, definitely the black sesame roll if u love black sesame. & Chiu Chao dumplings is a great dumpling but not quite Chiuchao 😂

Very good food and fast service. I ordered the Shanghai dumplings and pork fried rice. Portions are huge for one person so come with a group!

Good atmosphere and music with comfy seating. Food was alright, just not especially great, but the fair price more than made up for it.

I love this place. It is my go-to for dim sum in San Francisco. The food is delicious and it's very clean inside.

Dimsum was dry. Service was non-existent, we also had to wait ages just to submit the order which we ended up walking up to the counter to place. To top it off they claimed that the card machine was broken and had the audacity to ask for a higher tip despite not accepting card payment at the last minute after serving bad food with zero service. There are plenty other dim sum restaurants in the area which you should choose from, certainly not this.

Great congee and super nice staff! We were the only guests late at night and they were still very kind and patient after a long day

This is a nice, clean spot with fantastic service. It came highly recommended by a friend, and it didn’t disappoint. We arrived around 5:45 PM and were able to find street parking by 6 PM. The owner was kind enough to guide us on what to try, encouraging us to explore some new dishes.
The dim sum was outstanding. We enjoyed duck wraps with fresh vegetables, a variety of dumplings, shumai, rice soup, and fried rice. The soup dumplings were especially comforting in the cool weather. The chicken feet were tender, flavorful, and had just the right kick.
We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this place!

We asked about wait time for a table for 2 and they said it won’t be that long. Ended up waiting more than an hour. The bathrooms were extremely unclean, almost unusable especially for women.

Positive first time experience and evening dining in Chinatown. Their congee is SILKY and served HOT. All day dim sum is also a bonus.
Ate here 6 years ago, The chef used did not prepare the fried chicken wings correctly. It had a strange taste and was very sweet like it had cupcake mix in it. We were not refunded. The dish was basically untouched and they took it away and did not refund us.

Came here for lunch with my grandma. Food was average but overpriced for Chinatown. Chicken shaped dumpling came out shapeless and was too doughy. When we payed in cash, they auto deducted 20% tip when giving back our change.

i enjoyed dining at this restaurant so much! The staff and serves were SO NICE and helpful, they gave us some of their bunnies for dessert!? Every dish was so good, we finished everything ? soup dumplings were just perfect and so juicy! roasted duck was delicious! The interior of the restaurant looks so clean, neat, and new! Great big restrooms by the way! Big clean tables, good lighting, new ceilings :)))
