$29 for a hot pot? Are you kidding me? I looked at the menu, folded it shut, and left without ordering.

The owner doesn't like black people. I only started going because and artist friend of mine invited me. Never bring your children he's even worse.

Conveniently located downtown Burlington near church street, it has a selection of almost 40 items for dim sum.Friendly staff and the service was excellent. Although dim sum is not served after 4pm, our server went to check with the kitchen and we got our dim sum! That’s what service is all about, especially for a restaurant… never turn customers away once they are already there!We ordered about 8-9 items from the menu and there were all good with the exception of 2 that were average compared to the rest. We recommend the green beans and pork and the fried shrimp wonton, they are really yummy.Definitely worth the detour while in Burlington, we will be back for sure.Vegetarian options: A good selection of vegetarian dim sum items

Very disappointed ? do not go by what you see they have posted on the front of the restaurant because that's not at all what they offer. I didn't even order anything I sat as my son and mother ate and I was grateful I didn't get anything as one of the employees (male with a baldhead) sneezed into his bare ? hand didn't wash after and proceeded to touch food do not recommend and the inside was not very clean. Would have not given this place even one star but unfortunately you have to!!!

We walked in at 4:00, they told us they were switching to hot pot and there was no more dim sum. The owner (?) told the waitress at the host stand no, they weren't ready for that yet. She gave a wave indicating to forget what she just said and to take a seat.We then waited from 4:00 - 4:15 to get water at our table. People who just walked in behind us got menus and water. We still had no menu.We chose to walk out at 4:25. I can't remember the last time I've walked out like this due to bad service. There was another table who had come in before us who looked like they also had never gotten menus.I got the indication they were trying to delay orders because of the switchover to hot pot, but it's unacceptable to be waiting almost a half hour with no menu.Besides this, we had come with the idea to get dim sum because of the name of the restaurant. Switching over to a completely different cuisine at 4:00 is going to get disappointed customers. You gotta change the name.

Hopelessly unorganised. Poor service. Poor communication. Completely shambolic and unapologetic about it all. Takes the pleasure away from any benefits of eating there. Won't be going back.

Perfect lunch.Staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely excited about the food.The Ma Po Tofu was outstanding.I got three dishes for $23 (with tax). Each one had a unique flavor. Everything was fresh and aromatic. I'm going back for more next week.

Burlington is lucky to have such an authentic dim sum place. I’ve sampled this cuisine many times in places like NYC, London and Boston and this is hands down some of the best I’ve had. We’ve been three times now and have had great service and enjoyed the taro cakes, veggie spring rolls, shrimp and rice rolls, roasted eggplant and this last time, fabulous hot and sour soup. They could benefit from glass water carafes (not plastic) but that’s not keeping us away.
