  • The overly-ripe (it doesn't smell! more of a general 'feeling' of the place!), oddly opulent decor, and the size of the restaurant hits you as soon as you walk in through the doors. It certainly doesn't look like a typical Chinese restaurant: from the Victorian-inspired decorations, to the 'English' place settings, to the servers in black and white maid uniforms. My brain was briefly knocked out as all the black and red and gold decor of this dim, cavernous place displaced my expectations of what a Chinese restaurant is supposed to look and feel like. I like surprises, really, I do! The atmosphere just felt a bit off to me though. I had dim sum there on a Saturday afternoon with my family and we were seated right away. There were empty tables around us the entire time we were there, which is abnormal during dim sum hours for most Chinese restaurants. This could be due to how big the place is (doubtful - if a place is popular, people will come!), and more likely due to how pricy the dishes were compared to other Chinese restaurants. Note: this is a higher end Chinese restaurant (as if the also atypical, younger, prettier servers in maid uniforms rather than the usual older, granny-type servers were to leave you in any doubt). No carts here! Order by ticking off what you want from a piece of paper. The dim sum was OK. Honestly, typically yummy like dim sum generally is in my books. We had a riot with the dim sum descriptions in English vs Chinese. An example in English was something like, deep fried sesame ball with egg yolk. In Chinese, it was a much fancier and romantic description: Hard outer skin, soft heart. Tip: get there before 11am and most dim sum dishes (s, m, l, xl, I think) are all one price at $2.80 each. Outside of these hours, depending on size, it's much pricier. If you want to order larger carb dishes, etc like beef noodle, be prepared for prices of $14 and up. Everything is is pretty much double or triple the price of other Chinese restaurants.
