We had the dim sum lunch on a Sunday. What a great place to eat! The food was so flavorful and tender that you have to try.
You cannot go wrong with any of the many selections they have.

The restaurant has become almost unrecognizable. 4 years ago this was one of the best Chinese and dimsum restaurants in the entire DMV. Now it is a tourist spot with overpriced food that is insulting bad. Shame. The service and interior is the same. Nothing can redeem such unacceptable food. Avoid.

I almost never write one star reviews but I’m shocked by how bad this place was and want to warn people.

This may have been the worst dining experience of my life. I’ve had dim sum all over the country and can ignore rude service when the food is good.

Our server was extremely dismissive and overtly judgmental. Whatever, we were still pleasant in return. We ordered probably 8 plates of dim sum and they were clearly not fresh. Everything tasted fishy like old dirty oil and like it had been reheated in a microwave. The dumplings were luke warm and had hardened from being old. Some of the dim sum like the turnip cake was actually disgusting. We took a couple bites of everything and then just left it. My friend got sick afterwards.

Our server noticed that we weren’t eating and instead of offering to comp the food, he rolled his eyes and scoffed at us. It’s also quite expensive for dim sum.

Do not come here.

Solid dim sum and very consistent. We typically get it delivered on weekends and everything is always hot and fresh when it gets here. We've tried other places but keep reverting back here due to the consistency.

Went there today for dinner. Order Dim Sum. MANY of our dishes were Luke warm or sale, like it has been sitting there for a while. Should have have sent it back, but didn’t. Will try it again but only order the Dim Sum for lunch. Have a feeling they just leave it out all day.

I recently ate here and the Peking duck was absolutely phenomenal. So crispy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The place has a lively, welcoming vibe, ideal for everything from casual dim sum lunches to big group dinners. I was impressed by how expansive their menu is. It is everything from classic dim sum to rich seafood, noodles, and stir-fries felt authentic and thoughtfully executed.

Plus, the location can’t be beat. Right in the heart of Logan Circle, convenient for anyone exploring DC’s nightlife or heading out for a night on the town. Service was on point certainly prompt, friendly, and attentive which made the meal feel seamless even during busy periods. Even when we arrived close to closing, the staff was still quick and efficient, which really stood out. If you’re looking for standout Chinese food with a great proximity to nightlife this place does not disappoint.

We came as a party of three.
We selected several types of dumplings, the fried squid, the yu choy and the roast duck.
All the dishes were great, the duck was phenomenal.

A friend recommended this spot so I was in the neighborhood. Chicken was dry, over cooked and poor quality. You would think for this price point it would have been made to order and top quality. I want my money back

Just In for dim sum that day ..which they have all day (that's great). You select on the menu vs carts...they were out of my shrimp rice crepe so I tried the pork . It was delicious as well. Kiddo got the shrimp dumplings and wonton soup which he enjoyed. Overall was very good..we would come back if ever in DC area again.

Very good food. You can taste the authenticity. The fish was so good and well-made, it tasted fresh and never frozen. I asked and they said it was caught this morning!

Came here for Sunday dimsum but sadly was a bit disappointed. My litmus tests for dimsum are always the siumai and hargao dishes both of which lack finesse. The siumai were tough and salty and the hargao skin was coarse and fell apart. The pan fried turnip cake tasted of old grease. The durian puffs and sticky rice were ok.
