| - This place looks like it was decorated by a gothy Donald Trump. Is anyone really fan of black, gold, and marble? Despite the tacky "high-end" decor, the service is crisp and efficient, and the food is pretty good. We go here for dim sum, and if you want to avoid a long wait, plan to get here well before 11:30 on the weekends. The dim sum is ordered with an order sheet, and the selection is pretty good. They definitely use the high dim sum prices to pay for all the marble they installed into this place though. A "L" dim sum item is a whopping $6.90! That's probably the highest price I've seen at a dim sum restaurant.
However, the food arrives nice and hot, the quality is high, and the service is efficient. I would give it a 4 star if the prices weren't so high, but it earns a decent 3-star given the quality and taste of the dim sum.
There is a waiting area and hostess station for people waiting for a table, but like all Chinese places filled with impatient Chinese people, the wait spills over well past the hostess station (which is always unmanned) into the dining room. If you get one of the tables by the door, get ready to have people breathe over your shoulder while you eat.
A note for parents with small babies: stroller friendly if you get one of the tables at the sides, otherwise if you get a table surrounded by other tables, leave the stroller in the car. The chairs (they did not spend big money of these - a slipcover would hide the hideousness) are just wide enough to put a car seat on somewhat safely without feeling like it would get knocked over by a passerby.
