About Purple Dot Cafe

The Purple Dot Cafe is a restaurant known for its tasty chicken feet dish and cozy ambiance. It features white booths, light colors, and is beautifully decorated with ceiling lights, lamps, and light-up LED dot lights around the entrance. There are also TVs playing a Chinese weather channel. The chicken feet dish is a highlight, served in a delicious sauce, although the shape makes them hard to eat with chopsticks or a fork, so diners might need to use their hands. The restaurant offers a chocolate drink that tastes like chocolate milk.

Recently, the restaurant has been praised for some of the best dim sum in the C-ID, including crispy spicy green beans with Chicken and XO sauce, shrimp dumplings, and shu mai, all described as delicious. The fried rice with shrimp is perfectly seasoned, while the Peking duck is crispy and tender. Mongolian beef is highlighted as a bold, flavorful dish. Some customers have noted that the dim sum is cooked to order and the mango pudding is a must-try. Service is generally great, with fast service and attentive staff. However, there are concerns about the service charge, which is 15% regardless of party size, and diners feel this should be made clearer. Overall, the Purple Dot Cafe offers good food and a comfortable atmosphere, though there are some concerns about the billing practices.
