Small little restaurant that was pretty empty when we went on Thursday afternoon. Food came out fast. Green tea was a little mid Scallion pancakes had great flavor and texture 8/10 Shrimp rice wrapper was decent 7/10 The pork bun was huge, not exactly the size of 4 little buns but still a considerable amount. 6/10 Shrimp balls were fun. I'm used to the type with the little wonton flakes or whatever it is coming off of it but this had a soft exterior. Great amount of meat, good texture 9/10 My gf wanted to come here just because of the sticky rice and it was decent 7/10. Kind of what you can expect from looking at the picture

We were in the mood for dim sum and staying very close by so we decided to give it a try. Super fast service and delicious dishes. The inside was clean, cozy, and with great lighting.

wanted some yummy food for just getting into china town in philly. Came here and it was delicious. There was only one girl working, taking orders, seating people and running the food. she crushed it!! You have your menu and then a paper you check off of what you want. got some dumplings, egg rolls, spring rolls and noodles with shrimp pork and ham. Shared everything. Super yummy would come again and try more things.

The food was amazing. Granted we were the only ones there for a while, but the service was quick and easy, where they have you simply check off the items you want. My friend and I ordered a bit too much, but we could not stop eating. I would love to visit again, but the area at times can be difficult to find parking, but I believe the dim sum and dumplings are worth it. I have nothing to compare my dim sum experience to as this is the first time I tried them, but I've tried dishes all around the world, and that dim sum was delicious. I love the cozy, small restaurant feel and they deserve every star they receive.
Food was great but a little expensive for the sizes. Shrimp noodle rolls could have been a little thicker

This is a solid dim sum place in the area - the shrimp dishes were some of my personal favorite. The pork shumai was only ok in comparison to the shrimp. The chicken feet had the nails still - this might be a personal preference but in the west coast they cut off the entire toe nail. Nothing fried was super crispy unfortunately but it still tasted pretty good. My only complaint was the place lacked light and circulation so the smell of the place stuck to you the entire day. The service was good.

Went here for the first time, hearing it has some of the best dim sum in the city. I can’t speak on other places as much but I loved every single dish we got. The pork buns and soup dumplings are definitely a must have, even their scallion pancakes were flavorful and a hit. The beef and curry fried dumplings were also wonderful. Be careful not to order too much because the portions are huge but you can continue to order if you need more! Everything was filling, we spent about $80 with three people, so very affordable! There’s only one server and she moves very quickly and efficiently so make sure you’re ready to order with your paper and don’t hold her up! Would definitely come back for dim sum!

Pretty solid dim sum for Philadelphia. The food was reasonably priced (as much as it can be, given inflation these days). You have to order selected items off of a paper menu, which then goes to the kitchen to prepare your dishes fresh. I enjoyed that the food was hot and freshly steamed when brought out. Skip on the sticky rice (not to be confused with lotus-wrapped rice). The turnip cakes were unctuous, combined with the oyster dipping sauce. Try the XO turnip cakes with rolled rice noodles if you have the time and money (~$13). Bring cash for a discount. You have to pay per individual if you want to drink hot tea, which I thought wasn't very traditional dim sum restaurant of them. But I understand that it's a newer fusion spot.

You can close your eyes and pick anything off the menu and it will be really good! Highly recommend the fried turnip cakes, the sauteed eggplant, and anything else that looks appealing to you. Can get busy so I recommend going earlier than typical lunch hours.
