| - Dimsum is awful. Food in the bamboo steamers are lukewarm at best and the quality of their food just ins't there. Very fatty meats used and you have to ask multiple times for the same thing (e.g. mustard, tea refills, etc.) They have tons of tables and the space is massive, but it's a shame that their kitchen can't produce food of decent quality and their management is still as awful as before. Their selection of dimsum also isn't that large and their prices aren't competitive, so they really don't have any standout aspects about them for dimsum.
We came for Friday night dinner and we were very surprised that they had cornered off more than 60% of the restaurant and only around a dozen tables were being used for that night's service. It's very shocking to see that on a Friday night. We were given a dinner menu and a page with 2 set specials for that evening. The set specials were too much food for our party of 3 and frankly, food we didn't like. For example, there was a water duck stew, but water duck is very chewy and traditionally only meant for soups, not as a stew. However, the a la carte dinner menu was extremely overpriced with prices on par with high end dinner establishments - which they are not. As an estimate, ordering off the a la carte dinner would have likely been around $120 + tax + tip. We paid $100 for the special we ended up ordering, which was definitely more food than we needed. The service was lackluster and they seemed very rushed even though the place was not full and they weren't closing soon. We also did not get change after we paid in cash, which was fairly rude, considering we really weren't going to pay that much in tips. As is with most restaurants in the area, if you pay with cash, they cover the tax, so you end up only paying the listed price + tips.
Anyhow, won't return unless absolutely necessary. Poor dimsum and dinner in terms of quality of food, service and price.
