| - 4 stars for their dim sum (especially if you can get there before 11am for the special discount!) - I whistle the same dim-sum-happy tune as the rest of my fellow reviewers: a great, refined dim sum twist for us downtowners with unique dishes, quality food, and fancy-schmancy dishes.
Reservations are not accepted before 11am, though if you can drag yourself out of bed early enough, you can generally be seated without a wait if you are there before 10am.
The traditional fare is worth ordering - har gow, rice rolls, fried octopus (which is in fact what I suspect is squid, and note - not battered). However, it's worth adventuring into their more distinctive dishes, like the pumpkin congee or layered cake dessert.
We also tried the place for dinner, which is not nearly as busy as it is during dim sum hours. The prices are quite high, and while the manager is happy to deliver quality service and recommendations, I have yet to be convinced that the price delivers. Dinner food is good, but not necessarily better than other joints that offer similar fare for half the price (and the fresh scallops were undercooked). For that experience, a wavering 2 stars.
But who cares!?!?!
Dim sum!!
