The food is good! The service is okay. They will keep asking if you wanna take different dishes. Sometimes it’s good; sometimes it’s annoying. Overall, the food is good and the atmosphere is just like having domain in Hong Kong.

Normally food is OK. Convenience of parking lot is great. Today the guy at the front was a jerk when I asked how long the wait was for 2 people. He said "you see the other people eating, when they are done". Why not just say 20 minutes? I just wanted to know whether to go shop first and come back. No reason to be a jerk. So one star today.

I ordered the salt and pepper pork and Egg drop soup. I had to order rice separately which is unusual to me. Service was okay, I had to remind the server to bring me my Egg drop soup.

Great dim sum place where parking is free. They have the push cart style even during the week (went on a Tues). I think this will be our go to Dim Sum place without having to go into

Quite authentic Chinese food with a reasonable price tag. Their dim sum is highly recommended.

Good selection of dim sum dishes being pushed around during weekend lunchtime. May need to wait a while after 11am. Knowing Chinese is helpful as the cart ladies don‘t speak English.

If you like the traditional dim-sum push cart atmosphere, you will love this place. The wait during the weekend can be pretty long so be prepared. Thry do give you a beeper that lights up so you could walk to target or best by while waiting. In terms of food, I love the shu mai (pork and shrimp dumplings), chicken feet, ox tripe and deep fried shrimp ball. Rice flour roll are a little too thick for my personal liking, lean pork congee have too little meat and century egg. The xiao long bao (juicy pork dumplings) were the most disappointing. It came in like little metal holders and the skin is just way too thick.

Awful dinner experience. I ordered crab rangoon and they never came out with it but still charged me. I also ordered sesame chicken and it had hair in it. The shumai and boneless spare ribs were alright but I am not coming back.
