We went for Thanksgiving since my family is not traditional and it was a very pleasant experience.The staff was friendly and was able to accommodate our large party 9f 15. Parking is available right on the side.The food was good and the menu is quite extensive.Since we showed up at different times the food did not all come out at the same time, however there was enough to share and no one went hungry waiting to eat. Like I said, had a great time and would go back again.
Great dim sum! Free parking. Been here a couple of times for lunch and dinner.I also had my wedding reception here. The staff and manager were so accomadating. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was delicious. My guests really enjoyed the food.
Traditional Cantonese style food, authentic feel and smells like you are in a restaurant in China.
Hong Kong style lobster dish and steamed oysters are always yummy.

This restaurant looks nice but the food wasn’t good. They gave us old mixed veggies at first, it was black and bitter so they took it back. Peking duck wasn’t good either, some rolls didn’t have any duck skin at all, thats not even 1/3 of a whole duck ?. Other dishes are ok.
The site was a former warehouse distribution back in 1970s before it closed for several decades. This restaurant is owned by Gourmet Food inside Chinatown. Sometime, one might see the owner there. Plus, they have ample free parking, right next to the restaurant. It is very popular restaurant for the elderly and disabled, because of the parking near the restaurant.I have been going to this restaurants for several years as far back as 2014, when it was first opened. This place served dim sum, lunch, and dinner. They have both American style Chinese cuisines like Szechuan Beef to authentic Chinese cuisines like steamed fish. The price is not overly expensive. The choice depends on what one want to eat.The restaurant has the usual fish tank stock with live fishes, lobsters, frogs, and sea turtles. As of 10/18/21, due to Covid, this restaurant has been hit very hard in regard to lack of customers. One can see the fish tank is pretty much empty with just 2-3 lobsters and nothing else. The wait staff is just one for dim sum and lunch with the owner helping out as a service staff instead of being a hostess. Service is now slow, due to lack of staff, when they used to have 3-4 waitstaff during dim sum and lunch, and up to 5 during dinner.Covid pandemic means, no more dim sum carts. Now, dim sum order is on a plastic menu with erasable pen, but with some dim sum selections crossed out. Plus, the restaurants was only less then half full during dim sum, with plenty of parking space. Pre-Covid, one would barely find any parking, and one might have to park at their overflow lot with many people waiting for a table. Now, one can easily get a table.I have eaten in this restaurant many time before Covid for dim sum and dinner. Covid has changed my experince with this restaurant. The dim sum is still good, but one can see that quality is not what it use to be. For example, the Sui Mai suppose to have this orange flying fish roll egg topping, but it is missing. Otherwise, the Sui Mai taste great, but missing the pleasant aftertaste. I have yet to try dinner in this restaurant after Covid, but I heard business during dinner is way down.My dim sum cost was $90 including tips. I had sui mai, har gow, turnip cake, ham sui kok, tara root eggroll, seaweed pork congee, shrimp noodle roll, beef noodle roll, beef ball, sticky rice with peanuts, and curry baby octopus. Everything is quite tasty, as before Covid, but some quality missing as mentioned earlier.It is sad to see such a wonderful business, located near Chinatown is suffering from the Covid pandemic and really hurting their business, knowing full well it might close in a year, when their Gourmet Food inside Chinatown is still doing well because of location. I will do my part, but I doubt this business will survive longer if Covid pandemic continue. It will be sad to lose such a wonderful gem of a restaurant that served people who are elderly and physically challenged, because of the nearby parking. I guessed the alternate for these people will be Phoenix or Imperial inside Chinatown, if the elevator still work.
Great dim sum! Free parking. Been here a couple of times for lunch and dinner.I also had my wedding reception here. The staff and manager were so accomadating. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was delicious. My guests really enjoyed the food.
Very good. Hidden treasure. Out of the way location with parking. Food was good. Not as crowded.
with all the recent robberies in Chinatown. I would prefer going to a restaurant that has its own parking lot and outside of Chinatown.Oh and the food is great ?? as well!

Absolute fire. Everything was off the charts. Best Asian experience yet.
Delicious! I’ve never had white fried rice with egg, scallops, chicken, shrimp, and peas.
