Come here occasionally for Chinese food. Food quality & Price is acceptable. Good portion size as well especially for their rice dishes.

Good but wished the broth were a little more flavorful, and the noodles I got were practically disintegrated and stuck into a puck by the time I got them

Food was good. The duck was mostly bone, it barely had any meat, which is somewhat to be expected but it was like they were using the smallest ducks they could find BUT it tasted good. The pork and the rice was good.

I guess they didn't wash the veggies because I bite a rock from the veggies which hurts my teeth so bad. I was doubting the wonton but then I bite another sand inside the wonton meat. I guess it's from the shrimp which didn't cleaned properly. Never again.

We didn’t know that this place had no table service. Intent was to have an early birthday lunch with coworkers but ended up individually ordering and bringing our own food back to our tables, which there were plenty in the back. In the back, there’s a sauce station that has soy sauce, sriracha, hot oil, etc. along with utensils. At the front, you order at the register and wait for your number to get called. I ordered the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup along with a whole roasted duck to share with my coworkers. There were 6 wontons and they were huge. It’s so worth the price, tbh. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were also big and tasty (and my fave). The duck was a bit too oily for me but the crispy pork belly was delish. Would def be back for a quick lunch or to get dim sum delivered.

To simply describe this place, it's an authentic dim sim place with low quality ingredients and minimum service. The place is modern and streamlined, self service mostly. It is very confusing for a first time customer. The dim sum is a real deal. BBQ roast pork has the right taste but super super fatty. Everything came out cold, or luke warm at best. If you do not mind that, this is a quick and a cheap way to get dim sum in this hectic area.

I’m disappointed with this restaurant. The service was very good, and the staff was friendly—that’s the only reason I’m giving it two stars. However, I didn’t like the food, at least not the dish I chose. It was chicken over rice, but there was barely any meat, mostly just bones. On the bright side, the egg tart was quite good

The noodles with duck were not that good. The noodles had a smell and the meat was tough...

I think that most of these 5 star reviews must be fake. I got dim sum dumplings and none of them were good. Do not be tricked.

Very good food and at the same time an option within the center of Manhattan that allows you to eat healthy, good and pleasant atmosphere

This food is awful and disappointing. We had many items from the many and spent ~$120, so this experience wasn’t the result of 1 or 2 bad dishes. I’ve had dim sum across NY, HK, and mainland China and have a good idea of what dim sum should be, and I would never go back to this place.
And we’re dining in but eating from a tiny plastic delivery spoon from a plastic bowl?! And you have to pick up your food from the counter, and clean your own table.
I was excited to try this because they’re opening one soon in my neighborhood. Now I’m just sad. The only nice thing about it was the relative condition of the dining area, which felt clean. The staff were also friendly.
Save your money and time.

I do not understand the hype of this restaurant. The dumplings were poorly prepared. The wrappings were so sticky that it stuck to our plates and to each other so that when you went to eat them, they completely ripped apart. The fried crab corn stick and the shredded duck puff had great filling but the casing was so extremely oily. We didn’t finish those two things. Not good! The scallion pancake was acceptable.

Good was super oily and tasted not very well. Even scallion pancakes. You literally like drinking an oil when eating
Another interesting thing I noticed on a menu there is a surcharge for less or no ice for iced drinks.
