| - This is my maybe my third time at Crown Princess. So it's definitely good enough to warrant return business, but the visits have been spaced out over a period of years. It's beautifully decorated with nice dishes, as most reviewers have noted. The servers are dressed up elegantly and bilingual or even trilingual.
The dim sum is great and fresh with generous portions. You can custom order your tea! However, I feel the menu is limited. But I suppose if they can make a few things great, then keep with that! I am not a big fancy dealie person when it comes to dim sum. I do prefer the old school carts that are pushed around.
The decorations do not make up for a lack of bedside manners. I just went today with a girl friend, and we were starving, so we ordered a lot of food. The servers kept mentioning it. Initially it was fine because it seemed like the staff wanted to make sure that we knew how much we were ordering. But they kept mentioning it throughout our meal.
Also some of our orders were late and didn't come until the end of the meal. When I tried to make sure if it was being cooked and if it wasn't, I could just cancel the order since we were almost finishing eating as could be seen by our empty plates. The guy pressured me to keep it and was not very nice about it. Maybe he was just distracted. IDK.
The summary is the food is great with limited choices. I love that you can choose your tea (no hipster teas, okay? More like jasmine, oolong, chrysanthemum, etc.) The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, but the atmosphere is rushed and the servers need to be more mindful of customers wants and needs without being rude.
