Was really hoping this place would be good. I don't understand why Dim Sum in Reno doesn't work. There's places in SF with buns twice as big for half the price. If they can make it work, why can't we? We picked up $30 of various buns, dumplings, etc and were still hungry (two of us). The bao were almost empty. The custard buns were grainy. All in all just super mid. Nothing was like terrible, it was all edible, but it was overpriced and under portioned. In SF, $20 of dimsum is enough for 4 people.

Visiting Reno. Craving Dim sum.Authentic tastes. Authentic setting. The offer done in or take out.
Went in and ordered “to go”. Has ice cold beer!
I read other people’s reviews and didn’t agree with what they said on their review. So I wanted to share my experience.
Got shrimp shumai, pork vegetable dumplings, egg rolls & fried rice (generous portion). Priced right.
Amazing! Must visit!
Nice people. Great service. Delicious!!

Worst Dim Sum I've ever had. And I've had a lot! No flavor, high priced. Very disappointed. The sushi isn't any better. Way to much rice. Just no flavor. Not going to try the Chinese food. Don't know how they stay open. Won't be going back.

Saddest looking chicken feet. You can barely eat it cz its tough. We ordered fried rice , siomai. Those were good. The shrimp balls were not. We order a lot of chinese food and i think the portions were very little.

Wow, that was disappointing. Water with no ice turned into ice water. And the buns are indeed microwaved – tough from the moment they hit the table. What a waste. Wait-service was friendly, but without strong enough English to deal with any special requests. Never again.Addendum: my friend says she went there two years ago, and it was great! The woman who ran “the spot“ inside the Chinese restaurant was talking about moving somewhere else closer to town. So, probably she did, and now the reduced dim sum menu is just done freezer to microwave by the restaurant. If anybody knows where she went, please say. Maybe she opened the Dim Sum and Boba Hut on Moana, which is really great and made fresh?

Dumplings are frozen at best. I walked in and the lady asked what I was picking up. I told her and she said I was at the wrong place. I told her the address and she said that I was at the right address. I said I was picking up dumplings from “The Spot” and she just stared at me like I was an idiot. I then showed her my receipt and finally she said oh yeah we might have your order. The experience was awful and the food was worse. I should have just handed that $50 bill to the nearest dumpster because I just got ripped off. I honestly can’t think of a time I’ve had a worse meal

Really disappointed I went here. I spent $30 for a small amount of food that you can tell was pre packaged. I got 2 orders of pork buns and the filling was cold. What a rip off.

The restaurant itself is nice, but servers spoke very little English, argued a bit about my order and loudly laughed at the sushi bar while we ate! Never going back!

Taylor Brown

how this place doesn't have more reviews & customers is beyond me!! The food was amazing, atmosphere was clean & welcoming & the staff was so so nice!! Made sure we were taken care of the whole time. I'm going to be coming here frequently! Give it a try! It's worth it!

Oh don’t even try it. Never been more dissatisfied with a meal before. Tastes like everything was frozen and thawed. I was so looking forward to dim sum and was so sorry I went here.
