Total order: 6 items came out to $39.36 after tax Shrimp har gow, shrimp siu mai, (2) shrimp rice roll, beef rice roll, bbq pork rice roll - Quality: 4.5/5 Everything was pretty good and tasty. Only complaint is that the rice rolls have a bit too much rice (paper?) and the proportions of rice to meat is a bit off. - Customer service: 5/5 employees were very friendly and helpful, they didn't rush me to order even tho I was indecisive - Parking: 4/5 there are 3-4 designated parking spots for the dim sum place and the rest are for the laundromat. Also there's only driveway to go in/out so be careful driving - What to expect: take-out only, there's a small plastic table with a couple seats but not much of an ambiance if you plan to eat inside.

Let’s keep it real. Looking for a grand room where carts offer up selections well this is not that. If you are looking for a place to order and take some dim sum home with you well this is it. Parking is a bit small but manageable. The dim sum is not sitting there waiting on steam tables getting soggy. They are steamed fresher for your order so you may need to wait a few minutes. We ordered the typical stuff. The ribs were ok as was the steamed pork bun. The dumplings were great. Good texture and lots of flavor. The fried shrimp was great. Ambiance can put you off a bit.. it is not a sit down location so level set expectations. Definitely will be back when I have to go into the office.

Found this hidden gem on Yelp. My family loves dim sum but have not found a good place so far, until today! We arrived around 10am and found 1 open table. We were greeted immediately, they explained the menu and made recommendations. They have a menu with a dry erase marker and you mark the items you want. It is pretty small , maybe 5 tables and it was clean. They also give you really good tea when you arrive. We ordered quite a few items including : BBQ pork buns, Fried Shrimp Dumplings, Shrimp Sui Mai, pineapple custard cakes , rice and not sure what else but everything was delicious !!! Customer service is great! Very friendly and attentive. Definitely found our go to Dim Sum restaurant.

Great food and service. Extremely reasonable prices for their craft in their food. Love it!

I went close to closing time, so I was not actually expecting the food to be very fresh at all, but surprisingly enough it was fresher than the other dim sum restaurants that I go to..,,,but what impressed me the most is that the dishes that had meat inside had a lot more meat than other places. everything was very tasty... I bought about seven different items and as I tried each of them ...I kept waiting to see which one would be disappointing or too dry or not enough meat, and so I was pleasantly surprised when every different dish was good, and a good size portion. I will definitely go back there whenever I'm in the area. The guy who helped me was really patient with me,friendly, and very accommodating to me.

I was craving dim sum, but didn't wanna get dressed up or wait on a Sunday so I found this place and my BF was down to. Since it wasn't too far from our house. The store was clean and they were fairly friendly. What we ordered was pretty basic for the Dim Sum order. My favorites were the Shrimp Har Gow, Sticky Rice Wrap, Pineapple Egg Yolk Bun, and Spare Ribs in Garlic Sauce. If you want a pretty decent to-go dim sum without the wait...give this place a try.

Quality/Quantity - Got 4 different Dim Sums = Shrimp Har Gow - Just okay, much smaller than we are used to compared to the Bay Area, CA. Shrimp Rice Roll - Again just okay, but way smaller than we are accustomed; are we seeing a trend here? Shrimp and Chive Dumpling - This was better, but much more expensive than the Bay Area due to only 3 per order versus 4. Normal size that we are accustomed to. Fried Chicken Dumpling - Impulsive buy as I am trying, but failing, to cut back on deep fry foods. This just happened to be the best of all the dim sum. Very good light fry, not greasy at all. Good size dumplings also. Sorry, forgot to take individual pics of the dim sum; guess we were too hungry. Overall limited menu, not good or bad. Atmosphere - Small mom and pop location. Open 6 days a week from 7am to 3:30pm, closed Tuesdays. Yelp hours differ. Small parking lot, but no problems today getting a space. "Funnel" entrance/exit, so drive safely. Service - 5 stars. I believe it was the owner that helped us. He was nice, professional, and prompt. Happy gave us all that we asked for. And even gave us a to-go menu for future reference. Price - $26, a little pricey for to-go dim sum (compared to the Bay Area, CA) but sadly for us, the best value in this area. Hence the high rating. $20 minimum for credit card charges, never an issue with us... The only advice I have is to provide an itemized receipt next time. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since opening for approximately a year. See you next time we are in the area.
