| - There were 14 of us with several kids. We made reservations and were first given a table too small, and had to stand around for 20 minutes before we were relocated to another table that barely fit.
The restaurant is huge and the décor is similar to the Crown Prince Fine dining chain with the Victorian tea pots and velvety chairs.
Service:
Poor!
I'm used to bad service at Chinese restaurants where it's normal to get different servers and having to ask for hot sauce at least three times before you get it..BUT when I become the busboy, that is not cool. The restaurant is clearly short staffed. We asked for 2 high chairs. At first, we were told that they did not have any, and then after several reminders, we got one. We gave up asking for a second high chair. When the food arrived, the servers would drop the dishes abruptly in front of me and deliberately ignore me as I needed to ask them for more napkins.
Due to the amount of food we ordered, we had to make room for more dishes on our lazy Susan and desperately needed to clear our empty dishes. First off, it was tough to flag a server down. When a server finally passed our table, many would not take the dishes (I'm assuming they were asked by their manager to do something else). So...every 5 minutes I had to clear the table by placing the dishes and steamed baskets on a nearby table (where the servers place their napkins etc), as well as refill on our napkins for the table. Clearly, I was the busboy.
Food:
I gave this restaurant as 2 star since the food was not consistent.
I enjoyed including the marinated chicken feet and snow pea shoots with garlic, but many of the standard him sum items were not amazing. The rice rolls were too thick. For the "Boon Tong Gow" (dumpling in soup), the dumpling wrapper was too thick and the broth was bland and watery. The only great thing about it was the presentation and the tobiko on top.
We paid $38 a person for standard dim sum, with many dishes below par. The money you spend for the quality of food is not there. Placing the dim sum on nice dishes does not equate to delicious food. There are too many spots in the city to check out before I return to Premiere Ballroom for a second chance.
I've had great feedback about their dinner, which I have yet to try, so this post is a reflection of their dim sum.
Similar in price range and location, I prefer Golden Court and Dragon Boat Fusion.
