Order from here weekly for lunch because the school I teach at is nearby. Today I ordered something new (general tso chicken) and it was soggy. The fried shrimp and chive dumpling also had a very sharp piece of plastic in it. I was eating it and was wondering why it was very sharp and almost cut my tongue. This is a safety hazard - why is it even in the food. Most of the food items taste mid but the dumpling I have been ordering multiple times a week. Will not be eating here again. Gave this place multiple tries but either the food is bland or there are mostly vegetables in any dish you order. This place is definitely over hyped - there’s hardly anyone in there every time I place an order. I have tried both noodles and rice dishes plus an assortment of dim sum (the food is a hit or miss so choose wisely).

Great dim sum, the staff is friendly! Loved the jasmine tea lager and the house tea. Definitely going here again

Service was absolutely terrible and enforced tips, which is illegal. Try to take advantage of tourists, enforcing tips, and poor services which I have not seen for a long time living in New York City for 12 years.

Food isn’t bad but I felt uncomfortable because the male server pressured me to leave a tip. I Do not recommend this place.

It was the worst experience of my trip to the US. There was no communication at all with the food servers, and the only person who spoke English checked our receipt and forced an extra tip before we left the table. I couldn't get a friendly feeling from everyone, and there was a fee for even the basic setup for the car. Honestly, the taste wasn't bad. However, I continued to feel bad from the moment I entered the restaurant to the moment I left. This is a restaurant that doesn't even seem to have the will to improve its service. If you want to stay in a good mood while traveling, don't visit here.

I'm not the type to leave reviews, but I feel like I need to write this and let you know. It's not even a waste to give one star. The king of unkindness. When I came to take my order, I told him I hadn't picked anything yet and asked him to wait for a moment. He showed his displeasure and was blatantly unfriendly from then on. I went to this restaurant because it was recommended by Seojin Lee, but everything except the dim sum with shrimp tasted bad. Fried chicken in the 20s tastes like soggy frozen chicken. It was the end of the year, so there were a lot of people, and regardless of whether or not the customer was eating next to me, they were clearing away their dishes so loudly that I thought they were breaking the dishes. It was the first course on the first day of my first trip to New York, and I went there with great expectations, but despite the taste, I was really offended by the terrible service.

I’ve been a customer for 20 years and although the energy and menu is different from Elizabeth Street, the food quality and service is excellent. Like with any great place, there is a queue but it’s worth the wait!

My favorite dim sum place, by far. Missing the variety of the old Elizabeth Street restaurant, but the flavors are still there.

Definitely had a 5 star experience in my book, the first time I tried Dim Sum for breakfast was here and not only is the food delicious but i really enjoyed the staff wheeling the food carts of different types of food that you could check out and eat if you were interested.
I’m also a big fan of the way the area is set up as well, it’s pretty awesome!
The taste was not good, and the server kept speaking Chinese, even though I do not understand it. The server also pressured me to tip more.

The only thing is the line is so long! But the price is good and this historical restaurant is even cheaper than the Bay

for below average quality dimsum, the place is way over priced. Some of our dishes were served cold when they are hot dishes typically.

Don’t waste your time and money. All the food was cold and nothing amazing straight from a packet. Even the soup dumplings were luke warm and that’s the ultimate fail for us. The service was appalling and to end a very bad experience I didn’t want to leave a tip as it wasn’t even worthy of a tip so left the restaurant and left my wife to fix up the bill. She left a tip and then they held her up and they made my wife increase the tip she left twice more until they were happy. Worst dinner experience in NYC.
