| - I wanted to come here for dim sum because $2.80 for S/M/L dim sum if you place your order before 11:30am is too good a deal to miss out on. However, upon arrival I realized that some of the menu photos from Yelp are a bit dated.
The new cost is $3.10 as of April 2018 for S/M/L dim sum if you place your order before 11:30am Monday to Friday and before 11am on Saturday and Sunday.
I got here after 11:30am so I missed the dim sum deal. Regardless, the cost of the dim sum at regular price is still reasonable compared to other dim sum locations. Also, I thought this place would be crowded with people waiting for a table but only half the restaurant was full.
We ordered four dim sum items, which I felt was plenty for two people. The wait was a bit longer than expected but at least I know it's made to order. I enjoyed the mushroom rice roll, it tasted very fresh with a good amount of filling. Also, the congee with fish fillet was delicious; normally, I don't like to have fish in my congee because of the fishy taste but this congee was very well-made and the fish tasted fine. I didn't realize until the Buddha delight arrives that it is deep fried (I was expecting it to be steamed, maybe I should have looked more carefully in the menu); nonetheless, the vegetarian filling was very well seasoned and I quite liked it. The bbq pork bun is like any other pork bun.
Service-wise, I would say it's about the same as any other dim sum location. You have to call the waiter/waitress if you need anything like an extra pair of chopsticks, more soy sauce, or more tea. I won't complain as the waiter/waitress gets me what I need in a timely manner.
Overall, I'll definitely be back as I want to get their $3.10 early morning dim sum deal in the morning.
