| - I've been here twice now and can say this is a solid place. Good Friday was the day we'd arranged for a double date early breakfast. We arrived around 9 and there were already a few groups waiting. Tables were full and we were the second group to take a number. Y'all don't enjoy sleeping in, eh?
After waiting for the first round of diners at 8:30 to finish eating, we were seated around 10 and by then I was honestly hangry. We were seated in one of the private rooms which had been converted to seat 4 round tables for the morning. Our waitress was attentive and she came back shortly after we sat down to ask what tea and set our utensils, bowls and a plate for each of us. There was another gentleman who asked us if everything was good and was chatting with other visitors as well.
The food here is of higher quality and I didn't taste much MSG. We ordered shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, steamed spareribs, steamed beef & chestnut, steamed rice rolls, chicken feet, custard bun, rice rolls with fried dough, char siu bao and by the end of it all, we were stuffed to the brim. *belch*
The regular price for dim sum is:
S - 3.68; M - 4.68; L - 5.68; XL - 6.68, SP - 7.68
They've got a special from M-F (excluding holidays) where all sizes are 3.68 before 11AM.
I'd say yes, it is steep for dim sum as we ended up paying about 17 a person w/ the cost of tea. The food quality does justify the price. They use whole leaf tea and come back with a second pouch when you ask them to add hot water :o
I'll most likely be back in the summer time as I'm not one to dim sum every week...still don't understand how some of my family friends do it.
