| - My boyfriend and I came here for dimsum around noon or a bit later. When we got here, we were asked to wait because the place was full, but after a few minutes we were seated downstairs and given their menus as well as a slip of paper where you check off what you want.
Our food started coming out promptly. I'll start with the favorites. I'll start with our favorite, a shark fin and seafood soup (don't remember the exact name.) The seafood was fresh and the soup complimented it well. The siu mai was big and delicious! Next is the super har gao. The shrimp inside was good and har gao itself was pretty big. The seafood dumpling and conch was very good, you should definitely try that!
Here are the okays. There's nothing wrong with them, but at the same time they taste pretty standard. First was our beef tripe in XO sauce, which tasted okay. Nothing special. Same goes for their spare ribs with taro in black bean sauce. The jumbo shrimp and chives steamed noodle was okay, but the jumbo shrimp lives up to it's name. I didn't try the baked abalone and chicken pie, but my boyfriend said it was okay. By then I was already too full to eat it.
Finally, when it was time for dessert, we ordered a mango pudding (which we checked off when we first ordered.) However, they forgot about that ordered so we waited until finally we mentioned it and it came out not too long after. It came out in a shape of a fish and there were two of them as well. It was pretty delicious. This was the only bad incident of our meal and I guess since it was dessert after all, they focused on all the other foods first and forgot to bring it, but it was no big deal since they handled the situation well.
Overall, I would come here again.The portions are pretty generous compared to a lot of other dimsum places, but it is a bit pricier as well. It came out to be $61 before tax for 9 dishes so almost $7 a dish. But I guess it's worth the treat once in a while.
