I've been here about a handful of times and most of those times have been without incident. Yes, the fried sesame balls have been a bit greasy but passable but I can usually count on getting at least a few items I really like. However, the last time I was there it literally nearly killed me. I'm not speaking in hyperbole here. One of the things I've grown accustomed to but don't too much like when I'm in Chinatown is that often I'll go into an establishment and wait to be waited on and someone will come after me. That is visibly Chinese or Asian and they'll take that person's order before mine. This is what happened on my last visit here. Now that man placed his order and like I said I understand it may be just a cultural bias so I shake that off. It's one of those when in Rome situations. However, when I order my food and repeat myself three times and you allow somebody that's come in after me to place my order for me in a language, I don't speak. Well on its face. It seems like it's helpful except for the fact that I ordered one item and he clearly ordered something different which I'm allergic to. So I hadn't eaten in about 7 hours. I was very hungry. I paid for food that apparently, the person behind the counter decided I was not qualified to order for myself. Here's the thing you may be thinking. Well maybe she just couldn't understand you or maybe he was just trying to be helpful. Two things can be true at once and there still be quite a lot of liability involved in killing someone with a food allergy. If there's a language barrier issue, which there hasn't been before but clearly there was some issue this time; then order forms can be used in order to alleviate this issue. It's far better than doing this with the wrong person and having them sue you. Furthermore, put yourself in my place. How would you like it if somebody that you didn't know presumed to order food for you and the business that you are doing business with decides that their order on your behalf supersedes your own. Because the person that took it upon themselves to order for you looks like the person that is taking your order and speaks a common language that you don't. Believe you, me. If the result ended up and you almost going into anaphylactic shock; you would have an issue with it. Now according to Google maps I'm in the top 10% of Asian grocery store reviewers so I'm not a neophyte wandering into Chinatown for the first time. Anyway you slice it, this was not acceptable and could have been deadly.

The selection of pastries is excellent. But it goes downhill from there. The shop is crowded and noisy. There's not enough space to customers, and many customers are using the place to socialize and thus make it difficult to find a table. The worst part is that there are no restrooms.

Very good customer service
over charge and not honest. they charge more than the price labeled and fight you once you confront them. it’s not much money but leaves a bad taste. would not recommend.
Food was incredible.
