Have you seen the pike behind this restaurant!? I wouldn't eat here even if you paid me. Got roaches like crazy that whole parking lot and all those stores. So don't be surprised if you're bringing extra friends home 😉!

Absolutely loved this place! The dim sum was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — every bite was a little piece of heaven. The service was just as impressive as the food; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Everything came out quickly, and they were happy to make recommendations that ended up being our new favorites. Can’t wait to come back and try even more dishes!

Positives first: the booths are private; the digital menu is convenient; and the selection of dim sum dishes is numerous. All you have to do is tick off pictures of food on the tablet and the items are quickly brought to the table. Very tech modern.
The problem with many of the dishes is that they were drowned in sauce, which made it super salty and near inedible. It would have been better to have served the sauce on the side. The soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) were also too salty and the skin was too thick. Still, the Chao Zhou style steamed dumplings and steamed sticky rice weren’t bad. All in all, very average dim sum.

Great dim sum. Huge selection. Every bite delicious. Crave this place. The staff is outstanding and decor is beautiful. The portions are generous. Take out or eat in, just experience this food!

Very cute place with great service. Our waitresses were super nice and brought us everything we ordered with a smile. The food was alright, nothing to die for and the price was pretty heavy
I love coming here.. since it's way better than driving to Queens or White Plains for dimsum. it's still good although I think the quality of the dishes aren't the same from the last time I was here. Service is still great and restaurant is clean. The salt and pepper prawns were the bomb and the roast duck was a little dry. And always love the chicken feet and spareribs dimsum. The shumai is a hit or miss.
bad service attitude, i tipped but they cursed at me and forced me to tip more, I will never back again
A Chinese restaurant that sells Cantonese tea snacks and hot pot. We ordered stir-fried kale, stuffed eggplant, tender beef rice rolls, and barbecued pork buns. The taste was quite authentic. The restaurant was also very clean. There were booths at every location and it was very bright. , I prefer a brightly lit afternoon dining environment. If it is dim, I feel unappetizing.
Kid-friendliness: There is white porridge, stir-fried vegetables…

I'm quite baffled by those who have praised the dim sum - I don't think they've had proper dim sum before. It's all frozen supermarket style dim sum that was been reheated.... not a single thing was made fresh. It was not pleasant and I will never have it again here, no matter how badly I crave it. I would rather drive 90 minutes to Flushing to get the real deal.
The hot pot however was quite nice for what it is. The broths are decently flavoured, although I do wish it was a punchier. They have a decent menu selection, but some aren't great quality for e.g. the squid (don't try that). It hits the spot for times where I don't have the time to go to Flushing. The sauce bar is missing some typical options that are found in normal hotpot restaurants... you can make do with that they have though. I BYO my own chili powder seasoning for dipping.
I'd definitely recommend this place for hot pot for locals. If you're looking for authentic, this won't be the place for you. Don't bother with the dim sum.

We used to love this restaurant, but we went tonight and were very disappointed in the changes they've made. 1) We were charged extra for the broth. So, the seafood hot pot is 49.99 per person. We were a party of three, so we got two types of broth, and we were charged an extra 10.00 for the broth alone. We've never been to a hot pot restaurant that charges extra for broth ever... anywhere.
2) Additionally, we got the seafood hot pot for the lobster, but we were limited to one lobster for the table. When we asked about this, we were told that it's always one lobster per table. What if there were more people at the table? We asked to speak to the owner, as our waitress told us she was there, but she refused to get her for us.
3) They also charged us for each soda refill, which we haven't experienced anywhere in a while as well.

The food was great, but it was way overpriced, bad experience with how they priced the buffet.
