This is the only dim sum place I've been to and that I know of. Gotta say I'm impressed and I've been here twice already. I have only tried the dim sum experience and not ordered from the menu. During dim sum rounds it can be quite chaotic. Servers coming around with carts, speaking quite fast. It can be pretty hectic and confusing if you're not familiar with the food or the experience, so coming with someone who does is a very good idea. There can also be a language barrier. There is so much food to try, and I'm the kind of person to try everything at least once. I'm quite a fan of the (please excuse my spelling) shu mai, and the chicken feets, and the short ribs, among many others. The fried taro balls were very heavy for me unfortunately. We also did get some beef noodles, and you could really taste the wok hei on them; that high temp seared smoky flavor. I was a big fan. Prices are very good, but you have to watch yourself if you're ordering many things or else you're gonna have a large bill. But for two people our combined bill was about $65 and ordering abunch of stuff. It seems like some of the servers or owners? Seem to like to sit down and chat with some tables, maybe people they're familiar with.
I'd recommend giving this experience a try and I will be back. I would just say do your research looking on the menu to see what the offerings on dim sum are, and if you can, have a friend with you that's already familiar with the experience to help you.

_ Price is very different from what’s listed on the menu. _ Dishes I was looking forward to were not as good as I expected, but the spring rolls and dumplings were the best. - The food was bland and greasy, but the server was friendly, so I had dinner without any issues. However, I was shocked when I saw the receipt. The dish that was supposed to be $35 was charged as $50, and other noodle dishes were also $2 more expensive than listed. The total overcharge so I asked about it, and they said the menu prices hadn’t been updated yet.
Customers order based on the menu prices—how does it make sense if the prices are incorrect? I could have overlooked the $2 increase for the noodles, but I would not have ordered a dish if I had known it was actually $50 instead of $35. What made me even more upset was that the staff didn’t even apologize; they acted like this was normal.
Do they act this way because most people don’t check their receipts? Also, it doesn’t look good to ask for tips on top of already inflated, tax-included prices. This could have been an enjoyable meal, but the price inflation and the staff’s attitude completely ruined the experience.

We ate here a few years ago and he food was good. It had gradually gone downhill but we gave it one more chance with take out. The chicken and broccoli was the worst I ever had. Stay away until they change their chef. Was way too much sauce also.

The owner is not in the restaurant today so employees don’t care to serve because they know they get paid by salary so they don’t get to keep their tips that’s why they don’t care horrible service

The staff was so neglectful and failed to serve our table. We did not even receive water even after repeatedly asking numerous staff members if they could assist us. so eventually we had to serve ourselves water. we then waited an hour before any staff members came to our table. we waited for another hour and still did not receive our food so we got up and left.

the staff is very neglectful and disrespectful. We sat there waiting for about an hour and not one employee acknowledged our table. After we asked for some assistance, the staff responded with poor attitude. We were waiting for almost 2 hours and still haven't received service so we left.

I have picked up deliveries from here over a dozen times in the last couple of years. Finally, I got an opportunity to stop in and check it out. The menu is nothing like I've ever seen.
Complimentary "chips" with duck sauce come to you immediately. Fresh made, too.
Today, I just had an appetizer. I had the wontons in a sweet and spicy sauce. It's very tasty. Packed with nice chunks of shrimp. The sauce was perfect. A must try.
There were a few things I was interested in trying. But I'll have to come another time for that.
The dim sum tastes fresh, delicious, and is reasonably priced (5.50). The stirred fried dishes such as Cantonese chow mein (13.95) and snow pea leaves are well prepared with a nice balanced flavor and good wok hei. The portions are very generous, too. Note: The prices they charge are higher than what is slated on the menu, but it's still cheaper than other Chinese restaurants in the DMV.
