Went here for lunch with a group and ordered one of the lunch specials, which comes with a refillable drink. The waiters came to the table twice, once to take our order, another time to bring the food out. When the food was brought out, myself and another person had already finished a cup of the drink since some time had passed. The waiters did not bother to refill the drinks and not once in the many times they passed by while we were eating did they refill the drinks. Eventually, after already finishing my food, I was able to flag down a waitress and ask for a refill. When my bill came around later, I decided not to leave a tip since the service was below the bare minimum standards. The waitress came to the table and started telling that I forgot to leave a tip, trying to guilt me into leaving a tip by getting the table’s attention. I stood my ground. We went there again a few weeks later and this time the service was fine, so I was planning to leave a tip. Instead, when I get my bill they already have a forced tip added on to my bill specifically and tried to make me pay it. Needless to say, I had the tip removed and have not returned since.

Pretty disappointed. We ordered take out on Sunday night- I used to order from them all the time but it’s been a while. The fried rice used to be great but when I opened it up was totally white with very little flavor or seasonings. We actually recooked it ourselves- you can see the rice I got on the right and after we fixed it ourselves. I’ll skip this place next time.

Clean, delicious dim sum! Better than the location by Lakewood ranch!! Try their rice rolls for lunch or homemade rice noodles with XO sauce for dinner. Or stop in for some tea & Portuguese custards! The pork buns are very sweet. This takes me back to New York City chinatown (of course nothing compares but this comes close). Not your typical junky Chinese food establishment - this place is different- no wonder they are packed!

Very good food with a nice selection. Hours a not the best and limited evening menu is not optimal.
I love that they have Dim Sum all the time. Everything is always hot and fresh. Very generous servings.

Have eaten here and didn't have issues before but was here over the weekend and we are all sick with upset tummies and throwing up. We will not be returning ever again.

I’ve heard great things about this restaurant and wanted to love it, but my first two dishes were cold! We are them and didn’t complain, but definitely hoped for more.
