| - Overpriced dim sum and isn't all that special.
My mom and I came here because of the stellar reviews and we were super excited to come here. I'll start with the positives, it's very clean, the service was great, and the atmosphere of the place seemed good even if it's located in a not-so great area of Mesa.
However, the menu is not that special. And to be honest with you, I don't understand why people would come here for overpriced dim sum items that taste the exact same thing as going to Mekong or Phoenix Palace. As a matter of fact, they only have a limited option of dim sum items that literally is double the price of those previously mentioned restaurants.
We ordered around four dishes, mostly cause they seemed super expensive. We ordered the shu mai, the chicken feet, the bbq pork buns (char siew bao) and soup dumplings!
Then chicken feet were so normal, kinda smaller than other places. The bbq pork buns were tiny and dried out. The soup dumplings broke right when we tried to grab one, the flavor was good but the skin seemed dried out. The shu mai actually tasted pretty good. Nice and hot, and better than other places that I've been to.
Overall, yeah I feel bad for giving this place 3 stars but it's not what the reviews say. It's overpriced for generic to lower quality dim sum items that you can get on the weekend. I wouldn't recommend coming here again. Just go to Mekong or Phoenix palace for dim sum. Go to Chiou's kitchen for soup dumplings.
