Went here for lunch with good friends who come here often it was every thing they said it would be and more the food was excellent. The service was great even though they were very crowded at lunch. We did not feel rushed at all in fact we were there for over two hours. I will definitely return When back in the area.

Don’t harass your guests over the quantity/method of tipping. I don’t appreciate having a server breathing over my shoulder entering a tip into their tabletop card system, nor do I appreciate the owner/manager chasing after and accosting me (in front of my young son) over said tip. Horrible customer service. As good as your food is, I’ll never give you another dime of my business.

Best dim sum I've never had. I don't live in the area and every time I come to visit my NY friends this is my first requested visit. No other dim sum comes close!
