Food is okay and service is ridiculous slow. I wouldn't come back here again.

Food was mediocre at best. Didn't taste clean or fresh. More expensive than I thought it would be and really rude staff... manager included. Oh and my stomach didn't feel good for 2 days afterward.

The pineapple bun is not the normal type - it actually has canned pineapple chunks in it. Bit of an unpleasant surprise.

The greens are incredible. Pork buns are too sweet. Hilariously brusque service.

Full dim sum is only in the afternoon.

Best Hong Kong-style dim sum. Make sure you get some shumai, cha shao pao, and dumpling soup.

Dim sum was good but not outstanding. Carts came around quickly. No taro root though :(

Less MSG in dim sum and main dishes for a better - taste is cleaner.

Don't drink the tea! They'll charge you $2.00 for it even if you didn't order a pot.

Dim sum - shrimp
William GardnerFebruary 18, 2013
Don't bother. Worst service ever. Waited 45 minutes for a table. Then sat at the table for 2 hours with barely any carts or service, and the ones that came would ignore the table. Food was mediocre.
Matthew BarnardJanuary 9, 2013
