OMG, was this an amazing experience. The amount of food choices and the prices was phenomenal. Six adults ate and had leftovers for less than one hundred and thirty eight dollars, including gratuity. I would definitely go again.

One of the few dim sum places Restaurateur Chris Shepherd rates highly and loves eating at and I can see why! It's my third time visiting within the past 5 years and the taste profile is consistently good and the values are actually slightly lower compared to some similar restaurants close by. It's a large restaurant but get there early because a long waiting list forms quickly on weekends. The pictures on the menu helps a lot when ordering or if you have Ai on your cell or glasses, it'll translate the menu to you. This visit was on my younger sisters wishlist for her birthday so it was a no brainer. I thought she was gonna order the whole menu! Man was she hungry! LOL

The dimsum hit the spot here. For me, besides Fung's kitchen, this is the by far the best dimsum place I ever had in Htown. Also, the price is cheaper than Fung's or ocean palace.

Food is good and fresh on the weekend. I like their dumplings and the chicken feet. Although their pan fried beef noodles do need some work as it needs to be more crispy. Our server is kind and attentive, the only thing that I dislike is that during my meal, their cleaning staffs were just cutting in in front of my face to clean up the empty plates, that was just ruining my eating mood right there. Please stop doing that while your customers are eating their food.

Set as a Chinese style eatery, there are no frills to this establishment with their padded plastic table cloths to chairs that don't feel right sitting in sometimes. Maybe that was just my butt and gravity. I don't know. Nevertheless, the food is excellent. If you're looking for americanized Chinese food, this ain't your place. But if you're looking for natural flavors of authentic Chinese food, this is an excellent place to eat.

This is one of the best Dim Sum restaurants weve foundin Houston. Service is fast. There's a diverse selection to order. If you're not familiar, use the picture menu to select and mark your choices on the order sheet that you'll be given. Hand it to the server. Your order will soon start to arrive. We liked the new drink menu, too. Bring at least a couple friends so you can order a variety to share. Chicken feet are my fave. My daughter enjoys the Curry Cuttle Fish. It's all good! There are nearly 80 tables, mostly all filled by Houston's Asian members; you know this is good!

C'est la Vie!
We went there for a birthday lunch. It was a long wait but was usual for this place. We ordered a number of dim sum dishes and Peking Duck. When the Peking Duck dish came out, there were not a lot of meat as it should and later the waitress brought out a stir fried dish and said it went with the Peking Duck???? How convenience! We rather they told us that they ran out of Peking Duck and let us make a decision to order something else. Two of my family members had slight stomach aches after they ate the food. One of these two was in the lady restroom and witnessed a cook left the restroom not washing her hands with soap. The Cook just washed with water and left. My family member followed her out and saw her went inside the cooking area. How unsanitizing was that??? We will not going back for THE reason that a cook did not wash hands with soap after using the bathroom.
A great value for Dim Sum. Large portions, reasonably priced. Some of the pastries were a little old (probably from day before), but overall, a really great value.

Great dim sum, as always. Family favorite, and the chicken feet dish is well-loved. We enjoyed the steamed blood, lotus seed sesame ball, and beef tripe.
an ok place, price is on the high side
