Great spot with a lot of unique traditional Chinese dishes.
Everything is served family style and you're expected to share entrees.
Excellent spot for large groups of 6+

I think this restaurant ranks among Chinatown's top dim sum restaurants. Their rice rolls truly live up to their reputation (though I'm not sure why ours were lukewarm instead of piping hot)—you can tell they're freshly steamed. One variety even had fried dough sticks wrapped inside—absolutely delicious. The taro cake had a refreshing texture and just the right sweetness—delicious! The hot congee was also tasty, not overly seasoned. However, their xiaolongbao tasted like reheated frozen food—I wouldn't recommend them. The counter staff were friendly and enthusiastic. The restaurant environment was clean.

Being among the first customers of the day, some dim sum served were cold. It was obvious that we were served day old food. My sister even got sick vomitting from the consumed Taro dish. Moral lesson, don't go too early unless you have strong stomach for day old food. 🥵

Located on the second floor Chinatown square. Clean, very slow service and fairly priced for its portion. It wasn’t busy on a Saturday morning. Condiments and everything else Upon request. It’s hard to flag down a staff. We were halfway done until I went up asked about our stir fried dishes. Our waitress tells me they start to serve cook dishes at 10:30(there was no sign either regarding it either). Steamed beancurd rolls, pan-fried crisp bean curd rolls and shrimp dumplings flavored ok. Chiuchow dumpling with peanuts, siumai, chives dumplings, and beef tripes were the most flavorless I ever had. Dumplings wraps were very doughy. I understand the ingredients itself should have some sort of flavor even without any added seasonings.

Authentic Hong Kong style dim sum. It reminded me the tea houses we would visit in our daily life in Hong Kong. The quality of dim sum is exquisite. I would recommend this restaurant to you.

The food here is awesome compared to other Cantonese restaurants nearby, to my pleasant surprise. Red bean cake 红豆糕, porridge, radish & beef 萝卜牛杂, to name a few. The ribs are way too greasy but otherwise delicious

This place is legit! The seafood is super fresh — we had the steamed fish and salt & pepper squid, and both were incredible. Dim sum was just as good — classic har gow, siu mai, turnip cakes... all done right. A true Cantonese spot with authentic flavors. Great service and clean. Definitely coming back with friends and family!
