| - Thank you yelp for helping me find a good place for dim sum in the heart of downtown china town. I'm never sure what's good... especially when every restaurants seems to serve dim sum, and this one in particular has a giant sign, which leads me to believe that they need more business!!!!!
I walked in on a Friday to make reservations on Sunday - yes they do take reservations. I was thinking thank goodness because the restaurant seemed pretty small and not too many large tables.
Walking promptly in at 11am, they didn't really care that i had a reservation but advised i go to the back to get a table... the back???
yes there is a back of the restaurant.. looked like a completely different atmosphere. much louder, more crowded, definitely a good crowd.
I scanned the entire dim sum sheet, noticing a lot of the usuals, but also some new items i've never tried..... we put in our order and the goodness begins to happen. food starts coming out within minutes, piping hot like it was made to order. I watch the waitors and waitresses on the pass - they are very careful with finishing each dish with the proper fixing, the proper sauce that I was pleasantly surprised at how committed they were. The service was attentive and people were speedy. Some straggling items look a little longer to arrive, but it gave my stomach a bit of a break. Everything got eaten and I really could not say which one was my favourite.
My standouts - the usual shrimp dumpling - clean and large, the sesame pastries - a little bit oily, but oh so tasty. the short ribs smelled so good and my brother and husband scarfed it down.
and the grand total for 7 people........... $50 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
