In my books, this is the place to go for refined dim sum in Yorkville area. I'm mean it's not easy to get good food, service and decor with Chinese faire. Let's start with the food. The dim sum is well executed, but not particularly creative and done little flair. I think that's forgivable. The service is very good by Chinese restaurant standards. They're fast, polite and most of their staff speak English, which is no easy feat in our fair city! The most remarkable feature of the resto is definitely the decor. It's tacktastically glorious: chandeliers, marble, gold-gilded teapots is all I can think of. Pull these together and it makes for a nice, fancy dim sum lunch.
It's definitely not cheap. We ended-up paying about $20/person and we had our selection of dishes. The key to keeping the price down is to order less SP (special) and XL (extra-large) dishes. Watch-out for those cuz they could easily add $5-$10 to your total!
