Do not even think to go there spending your money and times there. The waitress are worst than ever in this area compared with other places. And they are greedy for tips.

Cute plates, all matching throughout the restaurant. It's the typical traditionalX delicious dim sum food which I love more than the fusion type of dim sum.

Friendly service, server is very attentive and patient especially having 12 kids on one table. Food was delicious especially the Peking duck. Soup was yum yum yum!!! Would definitely come back again.

Sitting in the restaurant as I write this. Normally okay but most recent visit was extremely disappointing. Ordered a set meal for 8 but they screwed up the service order so bad the main lobster dish was served last after a 40minute delay. We followed up throughout dinner at lest four times. To top the cake, the claws were undercooked. There are plenty of other Chinese restaurants nearby to give your money to with better quality and service.

Long wait for table. Long wait for lobster efu-noodles even though we submitted order in early. Small Parking lot was filled up early so had to park across the road at another mall.

Probably my favourite dim sum place. Extremely good, authentic food and this is the place I go when I want to invite someone I care about/highly respect for dim sum

Pricey but bad food quality when comparing to similar Chinese restaurants for dinner. Everything is pre-cooked even with lobster and peking duck. Won't go again.
Food tasted pretty good. Dim sum fair price, the lunch dishes are a bit more pricey than other comparable places.

This is a very busy & popular dim sum restaurant, especially on the weekends. We went yesterday (Sunday) morning just before 10 am. It was already quite busy. By the time we left (11:30 am), there was a huge line of people waiting to get in. You take a ticket number and just wait for them to call you in. There are no reservations at all. It's all walk-ins.
Before 11 am, the Small, Medium, and Large plates are all $5 (it's some kind of special promotion that is going on right now - I am not able to read Chinese, but my mom translated it to me). We ordered the Egg Tarts (3 PC), Chicken Pastry w/ Curry Sauce (4 PC), BBQ Pork Buns (3 PC), Steamed BBQ Pork Rice Roll (3 PC), Steamed Angus Beef Rice Roll (3 PC), Steamed Rice Rolls w/Fried Dough (comes with the sauce), Soya Bean Pudding (comes with a sweet & ginger syrup), Lotus Seed Paste & Salted Egg Yolk Sago Tart (4 PC), Beef Balls (4 PC), Steamed Chicken Feet (3 PC), Steamed Salty Egg Yolk Creamy Buns (3 PC), Siu Mai (Steamed Pork Dumplings, 4 PC), Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings, 4 PC), Steamed Beef Tripe w/Ginger & Scallion, and Jasmine/some other tea that I couldn't get the translation of ($2.50, including hot water).
First and foremost most: This was the best dim sum we've had in a very long time. The food was high quality and very delicious, flavorful, seasoned just right. The only thing we weren't pleased about is that we found an eyelash in our Lotus Seed Paste & Salted Egg Yolk Tart. And the waitress that we flagged down gave us a terrible excuse that it was just one of the brushes hair that got loose and got caught into the tart. Um, no, that hair is literally combined with the tart itself. We just ended up cutting out the chunk of the tart out and tossing it to the side.
The egg tart is crispy and flaky. The duck is cute and it's a marshmallow (a gimmick, not tasty if you don't like marshmallows). The chicken pastry's curry sauce perfectly compliments the sweet outer layer. Savoury and sweet. I was told that the BBQ pork buns were very tasty, sweet, homemade, scrumptious. My family ate it all before I got to have any. The rice rolls had fresh vegetables inside of them, and one of them didn't have a pasty type of mushy meat filling inside. The Chinese doughnut rice rolls came with the sauce. The rolls themselves were fresh, not stale. The soya bean pudding was smooth, however for me, the syrup was a bit to sweet. The lotus seed paste & salted egg yolk sago tart was sweeter than expected, but was actually pretty good (excluding the eyelash hair we found - disgusting). The beef balls were soft, moist, and juicy. The chicken feet was my favorite. It's not spicy like other variants. There's peanuts in this dish. The egg yolk bun has googly eyes on it (it's chocolate). The siu mai was tender and juicy. The har gow's shrimp was plump and the skin was chewy. The beef tripe was another one of my favorites. Chewy and just the right amount of flavor and salt. The tea was the neutral party, balancing the flavors and cleansing the palate.
There's barely any waiters/waitresses so they're running themselves ragged, back and forth. The restaurant is increasingly becoming full fast and rather busy. The service is slowly becoming terrible over time. Somehow and somewhere, more employees show up out of nowhere.
Overall, good food. Service isn't that good. Found hair in food. Waitress lied. Have photo proof. Will upload a photo of the dim sum menu later. One thing to note is that we were very thirsty after eating here (definitely MSG).

TLDR: mandatory minimum 10% tip, $2.5 pp tea fee, cash only for discount
Selection and quality is on par with other dim sum, a bit on the salty side and definitely contains MSG (you can tell by how thirsty you feel afterwards, I’m still feeling thirsty when writing this review! What unimpressed me: you need to pay CASH to get the early bird price. Also there’s a MANDATORY 10% minimum tip. Also they charge $2.5 each person for ‘tea fee’ regardless if you drink tea or not, including kids?! I had to dispute it to get kids portion back. I told the cashier I had enough cash for the bill but not the tip, she immediately told me to pay by cards for the full price. I had no problem using card at other dimsum place so safe to say I won’t come back.
