| - I live nearby but haven't been here in years. Every time I came for dim sum before it was a 45 min wait and the food was good (3.5 stars) but not amazing but worth coming back too.
We had a large multi-table family dinner here in spring 2016 and the food was decent, 3.5 stars.
This review was out visit on September 9th. It was 12:30 and the place was not crowded at all.
We started off with the white egg noodle like wrap that has beef inside. You pour soy sauce over it. That was good. It was hot and tasty, again not blown away but it was standard dim sum fair which averages 70/100 on my scale.
We were a little full so decided to have squid tentacles, siu ma, and hak ko and that would be it. All these three came from the same cart. None of the dishes were hot. The pastry on the hak ko was dry. The shrimp did not look fresh and eating it was completely underwhelming: little flavour, bad texture. The siu ma was worse. There was some sort of after taste near the middle. Instead of the reaction being "mmmmm", it was I hope this doesn't make me sick.
The squid was lukewarm. It was yellowy and not what I was expecting, but for what it was, it should have been better. It was too rubbery and very meh.
This might be the worst dim sum I ever had. It is certainly the worse I can remember. Since, we've been reviewing restaurants on yelp, this is the worst meal I ever had and the worse that I can remember, so it was a very memorable experience.
The 4 $3.20 dishes with tea and tax and tip ended up being $18.
If I'm invited I would come here but I would not voluntarily choose to eat here again.
Maybe they had a bad day and it was not representative but we had a very bad meal.
