We were there, weekday after Christmas, for lunch around noon.The place was filled with people, but we got our table soon.Their service is a little pushy and rush. They walk around with food and ask you if we want them. I guess that's a kind of their traditional style of service. You have to firmly decline their offers if you don't want any of them, which are not foods you ordered.This place is my family friend's go-to place , so I believe their tastes are authentic.I wish they would do little nicer and friendly service.

Food is typical dimsum fare but delish. Service was also good and efficient. The place is super busy during the weekends so come early if you can.

This place is good. I like this place because how they make the food and my grandpa works here. I give this 5 stars because a lot of people come here to eat and enjoy.Kid-friendliness: They help the kids by asking what they want.Wheelchair accessibility: They allow wheelchairs to the restaurant because some people can't walk and they help them.

It's by no means a terrible place. The food is decent, and you can't really ruin dimsum and good Chinese food, so if you're in the mood for dimsum but you're not going for some big fancy gathering or whatnot, this is a good place to eat at. Sure, this isn't the fanciest dim sum place. It's right next to Yu Rou Wang (the grocery store), and we found the food and service here to be solid! As a party of two, we were quickly seated. Here's what we got:Beef noodle stew, which honestly had too much noodles, and really skimped on beef Salt and pepper chicken wings Har gowXiaolongbao was decent, though not as flavorful as other placesFor ala carte dessert, we enjoyed the mango pudding and egg tarts.We certainly enjoyed our lunch here!

I've come here multiple times for dinner with my family and it's a solid, consistent choice for Cantonese cuisine. It's a lot more affordable than other choices. But, I'm here to talk about the dim sum I tried for the first time. I came in with no expectations but the dim sum was surprisingly really good for a great price. I enjoyed all the dishes we chose. I thought they tasted fresh with lots of flavor. My favorites were the house pan fried rice noodles, durian puffs, and the bean curd rolls. Proportions were good too. It has a nice big parking lot so parking is never a struggle. I also feel like it's a low key pick compared to Fusion Delight so there's never a long wait. Will definitely come back for dim sum again!

They have "mandatory tea" they charge each person, even if some of people don't want tea, they said everyone has to get it. When we said we don't want tea, they got mad and said it is mandatory. The overall service is also terrible. They get mad when we ask for anything. Would not come again.

If you like fried stuffs, you got to try the Salt Pepper Silver Fish. The Stuffed Eggplant Bean Curd Green Union has always been our all time favorite when we go to dim sum and it's good as always. Yet, the service is just ok as those ladies weren't very nice/polite. We liked the food though.

We had a delicious dinner at Pearl Bay. We had hoped to get dim sum, but dim sum is not served all day. Our favorite dishes that we had for dinner were the Peking duck, vegetable fried rice, eggplant tofu, and beef chow fun. Service was great. Lots of parking in the lot.

The service was great and the food even better. A wonderful selection of food that did not disappoint. There was someone ready to help if you needed help.

Of all the dim sum places in the area, this one is my favorite. There's big parking lot with plenty of spaces, but it is next to a grocery store, so the close spots are usually taken. Service is pretty average, although you are seated quickly and food comes out quickly as well. Seating/tea is $1.75 now??? That's outrageous, I don't even drink tea. Its been a while since I had dim sum, but especially since COVID, there's no more of the traditional servers, walking around with food on the carts you can pick from. You get a menu and a pen and mark down whatever you want. I understand for the restaurant, this makes sense. The problem with this method for me is, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. The good thing is, I can take things to go, I will always have a midnight snack later. All the food tastes great. Things are getting pricy though. Barely anything is considered a small dish while the portion sizes shrunk. There used to be so many cubes of tofu in the salt and pepper tofu dish, but now it comes out like it was half eaten.I'd still come here for dim sum when I have the cravings, but prices are making it hard to come out as often as I'd like to.

I come here for dim sum. They recommend to get the ticket number. However, they don't work with the number. Whoever is their friend, they will let that people get the table first. There's no reason to come here, wait for an hour and see people go after you and get the tablet ahead of you. Such a waste of time.
