| - Took my grandparents here for some dim sum since it's their absolute favorite thing in the world! We've been to all the dim sum spots around town, and this is the place we frequent most. It gets extremely busy here, even on weekdays, so plan for a bit of a wait on weekends and especially during holidays.
The dim sum is served traditionally, rolled out on carts categorized by steamed, stewed, or baked and fried. I prefer this style way more over the menu cards with check mark selections. You can usually pick out what's hot and fresh, but the ladies pushing the carts are always awesome and will tell you what's good. I can tell you right now that buns straight out the oven, esp the custard pineapple buns, are sinfully delicious.
The food here seems to be hit or miss depending on the day, and on the really busy days when you've got continuous fresh dim sum being rolled out, it's the best dim sum you'll find in Vegas. Today we picked out a couple of our favorites and most were just average but some were really good. A breakdown of what we got based on today's quality:
-Shrimp dumplings (har gow)- 5/10 dim sum classic, they usually do it right but today the crystal wrapper was a tad undercooked
-Pork siu mai- 6/10 again a classic and highly recommend here, but skimping on shrimp today
-BBQ pork pastry (char siu su)- 8/10 bangin'! Perfectly flakey crust with tons of BBQ pork filling
-Fried dough wrapped in rice noodle (zha liang)- 10/10 always good and our absolute favorite here!!! You gotta put in a special order request for it and they make it to order, which is awesome bc that means the you tiao is crunchy! Secret it menu tip: add cilantro to the cheung fun! Comes with hot sauce, peanut sauce, hoisin, and soy sauce
-Chicken feet- 7/10 huge chicken feet today, I love their sauce and the flavor penetrated to the bone
-Baked BBQ pork bun (char siu bao)- 8/10 you gotta catch these fresh out the oven and we got 'em fresh. Maybe they changed their dough recipe but it's airier than usual
-Radish cake (lo bak go)- 7/10 perfect texture and taste, full of shredded radish goodness, missing the crisp exterior as it was the last one sitting on the cart for a while
-Sesame balls- 9/10 can't go wrong with these. Soft, chewy dough, heavy on the sesame flavor. Lovely red bean filling
-Water chestnut cake- 10/10 some of the best water chestnut cake I've ever had! Slightly sweet and lightly pan fried for a hint of crisp
Overall a wonderful dim sum experience today as always. This is really one of the best spots for dim sum here in Vegas, and if you want authentic food look no further than here. Prices are great and portions are on par with other dim sum places. I really don't understand the reviews on the bad service. It is typical of Chinese restaurants to leave you to enjoy your food in peace and get you in and out ASAP, so if you walk into any traditional spot, don't expect 5 star service. The service here is fast if you can flag someone down, and the people are always friendly and love to chat with my grandparents
