The food is very good here, but when it’s busy your order can get very delayed. My favorite dish was the mayo shrimp and fried tofu. The lobster was very fresh too. The atmosphere is very noisy during holidays, but that’s just music to me. Happy to see big family gathering!

We got a private room towards the side of the restaurant for our party of 36 people. Place was good, waiters were friendly and good was great. The bathroom could be nicer though, but obviously wasn't there for that. Overall food and service was great.

Canto dishes were really good and authentic. Can't say much about service and ambiance, but the food was amazing. My family is visiting Brooklyn from SD, so our aunties and uncles took us here and it's legit. This place isn't for everyone, decor is old, atmosphere is loud like canto restaurants, but all the dishes were so good.

The food was great but after I ate my first meal and went on to my second, it took like forever for the food to arrive but it was worth it. Definitely recommend this restaurant for a great meal.

I enjoyed my experience here at benson eating station. Decor is extremely old and I feel like I traveled to the 90s eating here. It is very loud and you hear the train passing by. It's not for everyone. They serve traditional Cantonese style cuisine and they have out door seatings. Prices are reasonable and service is descent. I ordered a few braised dishes and stir fried string beans. The braised eggplants were amazing. Extremely flavorful and tender. The braised fish with tofu was also delicious. And we finished off with a plate of sweet slices of oranges.

This place gets really really packed on the weekends - come early especially if you have a big party! You can either order dim sum from the ladies with the carts OR you can also place a special order or bigger dishes with them, too. There is classic dim sum and you can tell the clientele is local Chinese, older and younger. As usual the service can be a bit spotty but the ladies are overall very sweet!

Went for dimsum with a group. Amazing durian rolls and other dishes also done the traditional way. However, of the dozens of places I've tried them, I've never had such bland chicken feet.

I come here for big celebration meals with my family. The service is always quick and I love all the food. We usually order 10-12 dishes per table. The fried squid and beef with eggplant dishes are my favorite.

Went here for dinner. When we first walk in the restaurant they sit us at the table. After we sat they gave us the tea. However they never give us the menu. When we ask for the menu they just like slam the menu down. I was dang what is your problem. So we look at the menu to see what foods to order. We ordered about 6 dishes but they messed up one so we told them. We don't want it. It took too long and they messed it up. The food tastes very bland. The fried fish they recommend doesn't taste cooked. The only good one was the lamb chop. The rest was ok basically bland. It could be better. Don't think I will come back here again.
