Fancy dining room, but the food was the star! Very tasty dimsum staples (siu mai, har gow, phoenix claws). Well made and steamed perfectly. The pan fried pork buns were also quite good. Where they fell short was the lack of sufficient flavor in their Singapore Rice Noodle. It lacked the right color and "wok hei" and peppers needed to make it stellar. Good. But not great. Tea was refilled often and parking, as usual was abysmal.

Food was pretty good. Lot of options for Dim Sum and we underestimated the portions. The service was prompt and the food did not take to long to come out.

Service 0 starsThe dimsums are 7, 6, and 5 dollars for C, B and A dishes. However the menu says they are all 4.99. We ordered not knowing until the bill came. We spoke to the manager and asked about the difference, we were told the advertisement at the restaurant entrance said all for 4.99ea on only weekdays. The manager flat out refused to make it right, nor did they say they will correct the menu to make it right for other customers. Consider yourselves warned on this.FOODThis Shanghai restaurant is trying to be Cantonese as well. But it's failing. The lobster noodles, lobster was fresh, but lack the ginger and scallions fragrance. Noodles was basically dry and blend soy sauce lomain. Overall two stars. About the dimsum, it's pretty bad for the price especially. The chicken feet tasted nothing but salty, so was the tofu skin wrap, the hand shui gok did not taste fresh/skin is tough like it's been thrown back in the oil pot after it was out for a while. Only thing that tasted decent was the shrimp rice roll, although I ordered the C version with chives, I found maybe one piece of chive if any. Overall two stars for being lenient, a very disappointing experience. We will not return for cantonese food at least.

Very good food and decent service. The dining room is long due for a face-lift though.

Average food. Weekday prices are slightly lower than on the weekends. The dining room was almost full on a Saturday afternoon, as was another dining room on the other side of the restaurant. The menu also served as the ordering sheet. Not super impressed and there wasn’t anything memorable with the quality of the food, not sure if I’ll be back as there are better dim sum options in the immediate area. Egg tart shells were unnecessarily thick. Xiao long bao were dry. Portion of the green beans was below average and needed a little extra spice or something. Ma La gao was not quite the right texture and there was a strange green colored filling inside that lacked any recognizable flavor. Parking can be challenging. Tea was $8 for 5 people. Ouch!

The presentation of the Smoke Fish is impressive. In general, dishes are strong flavored. Must eat with rice.

The dishes (about 10 of them) we ordered were all Americanized with lots of sugar and soy source. Nothing even close to the same dishes in Shanghai. The service and environment were good but likely won’t go back again.

Great time to visit now when they have the one price ($4.99) for S,M,& L dim sum promotion. Food quality is above average. Service is a bit slow but tolerable considering the value of food.

Prime Chinese dining. Food was amazing, service team was very hospitable and elevated our dining experience. Atmosphere is very comfy and reminiscent of a chinese banquet hall. Coming from the post-soviet diaspora, my family and I really enjoyed this place. I am still surprised by the affordability of this Michelin star restaurant. Great stuff
