They automatically add a 4% living wage to the bill.

Now there’s a saying about going to ethnic eateries. If you don’t see individuals from that specific culture working or eating at the establishment, there’s a problem. Case in point, there were no Asian workers anywhere here. All of the waiters were of Latin descent. I only make this distinction, because the menu and name of the restaurant was written in Chinese. You would think that would mean they speak the language. The waiter gave us a perplexed look when my mother tried ordering in Mandarin. None of the cooks were Asian either.
The food, was okay, not great. Overall food was catered to the American palate. The Siu Mai had portobello mushrooms instead of Shiitake mushrooms. The soup dumpling wrappers had a weird texture and melted when you ate them. The vegetable dumplings tasted funny. It tasted like Italian seasonings. The Beijing noodles, the noodles had a strange texture and only tasted of soy sauce, they lacked any depth of flavor. And if that wasn’t enough the bill for two was outrageous. Finding out a 4% living wage was added AFTER you included the lowest tip at 16%. Other than the location, this is just another example of a restaurant taking advantage of people unfamiliar with authentic dim sum dishes. Never coming back.

Small but efficient for small sharable bites. The menu is loaded with different options dumplings, chow main, soups and noodles. The food came out quick and hot.

This crazy place add 4% wage fee in addition to your total bill automatically. Food is so expensive and portions are super tiny. Everything is overpriced. DO NOT EAT HERE unless you have tons of money to burn. DO NOT EVER COME HERE.

Excellent food!! Super yummy dumplings with some fusion twists on a few dishes (one of the dumplings game with cilantro sauce which was pretty good)… overall really good pick if you're craving dumplings! check them out at happy hour 3:30-5:30pm

The service was horrible and so was the bar. They couldn't make a decent margarita that is a speciality on their cocktail menu. There was no table touching done. They were promoting a buy a beer for a $1 and the next beer is full price. Both my husband and I ordered individual beers, but I couldn't finish mine so he had a few sips...they end up charging us for a full price beer because he had a few sips off mine. When trying to discuss with the server they were arguing. I wasn't aware that it was not allowed to share a few sips of a beverage we ordered. Mind you everyone ordered multiple beverages and food items. We absolutely will never be going back here again. The food quality has zero flavor too.

Horrible service and not professional! They were busy, but not even one person came to acknowledge our group. We tried to get the attention of the waiters and they just looked away. 25 minutes and not even one person came and spoke to us.

This place is just ok, not bad but just ok. Food was fine, wait staff seemed good but kitchen was slow. We’ll likely do a different place next time we want dim sum.

Ordered about 5 things and also a Wood Ear Mushroom Salad and it was missing nearly everything. Waiter said he'd take it off. No problem! Tipped him great.
Waiter forgot to take it off the bill + accidentally charged double.
