I was a bit skeptical to order here at first because they’re mainly a takeout place and it was dead inside, but I was surprised to find that the food is actually pretty good.I was feeling dim sum for dinner, and this was the only place still serving dim sum at 6pm. I got the egg custard bun, fried sesame red bean ball, crescent dumpling, shrimp dumpling, fried radish cake, and shrimp noodle roll. The food took 20 min to prepare and everything came out fresh. The only thing that didn’t meet my standards was the shrimp noodle roll. The noodle was fine, but I think they used frozen shrimp so the texture and taste was not it for me.The quality of the dim sum is comparable to the other dim sum restaurants in the area and it’s cheaper. I used to go to all that n’ dim sum as they were cheaper than the other dim sum restaurants, but the food here tastes better so I think I’ve found my new go to place.

Cheap comfort food, no more, no less. Food is basic. The "homemade curry" for the curry fish balls is greasy as heck. The red bean sesame balls were good though.Service was friendly when I was there. The woman was very patient in explaining the menu to me, which I appreciated. The interior is messy (not dirty! just. . . messy.)

Ham sui gok were by far the best I've had. Nice crisp shell, mochi was light, chewy and slightly sweet, pork filling was good. They're not usually on my goto list, but I'd come here just for them. Har gow, siu mai, and other standards are solid. Plates are currently 4.99, which is about average in take out. They take venmo and zelle also. Definitely worth checking out. (Didn't get a chance to take pics of the food, kinda killed it too quick.)
Good price and delicious food
The food is expensive, salty and tastes weird. There was a male staff member who was very aggressive and scared me so much that he left without finishing my meal. I will never go to this store again.
Some Dim sum is freeze food. The dish has too little weight, But the food was expensive and not all the good.
Well, I'm sorry to say, but I was quite disappointed here.Needed to find a place that could accommodate 4 on a Sunday for lunch and was able to reserve a table here through Google Maps very easily. When we arrived, a table was ready for us, denoted by a little note with our name on it. Turns out, we wouldn't have needed a reservation anyway (plenty of tables to choose from).This place is pricey. Spent a little over $120 for four people for dim sum and a couple of dishes. This is higher than the average price around the area (including Westminster).They also bill themselves as fast food. So that means you get no dishes or silverware, only small paper trays. You also get no hot mustard, which is weird since they had the normal Sriracha and chili sauce accoutrement (they actually gave me normal mustard, which again was really weird). Soy sauce came in packets vice bottles.You also had to clear your own dishes. You are expected to separate out the dim sum steam trays, dishes, and trash. There's even a sign next to the table telling you to do so. Again, they chock it up to being a "fast food" restaurant.The worst part is that their menu is not descriptive or accurate. We had a pescatarian in our party and she ordered the "pan fried chives dumpling with shrimp." Unfortunately for her, it also contained pork. We expressed our concern with the wait staff, who were very apologetic and did offer to replace with another choice, but we respectfully declined.All-in-all, there are SEVERAL other dim sum places in the area with much better food at a more reasonable price. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. I didn't even bother to take any food pictures.

If I want Dim Sum again, I will bring everyone to this place. They're all hard working people with really good food and great customer service. There is an ordering machine with all the options and they even suggested ordering online ahead of time. I will come back and get more pork buns because they are to die for.

50% of the food came out simultaneously undercooked and overcooked at the same time. The rolled noodle dishes were soggy and lost all integrity while the pork inside remained cool and pink. The counter staff scratched his hair and wiped his nose with his hands multiple times and handled food. Didn’t see him wash his hands. He doesn’t wear a hairnet or a hat. The food took approximately 40 minutes to come out after ordering. The tables were super sticky and the dishes had left over water on them. The sauces on the counter has a rim of grime on the cap.

The beefball was freshly made to order. We saw the chef shape it with his hands and then steam it. For a mom & pop dim sum to go type of place the beef balls were really delicious! Taste wise it is either equal or better than many pricey dim sum in seafood restaurants in SGV. The vibe and decor is no frills, while dining-in they provide paper plates and plastic utensils. Service is friendly, we ordered on Cantonese, while other patrons ordered in English and Mandarin as well. But, the food is good. We tried to buy some egg tarts, but the owner said it is not up to standard as the pastry did not turn out that great or flaky that day therefore he rather not sell subpar egg tart. The owner takes great pride with theirs quality control. I have been to several dim sum places with terrible service and overpriced dim sum that taste worse than frozen dim sum you can get from supermarket. From outside this place looks so dark, quiet and not many customers but we were really surprised by the level of quality of this place which is tucked away in the corner of a quiet strip mall.
Parking: Lots of Parking even on weekends. Handicapped parking also available
