| - Here are the facts:
I wanted dimsum.
It was Friday night at 6pm.
I was not going to China Town
7km would take an hour.
Jam restaurant was also 7km away.
Ratings were decent.
30+ reviews.
They can't all be doctored.
Didn't read the reviews.
And so into the car we piled and went.
And boom, the rest was history.
First of all there does need to be a disclaimer that the servers were absolutely rude. But not like in your face rude, it was like we gotta get $*it done rude. And they weren't super busy, maybe 1/3 full, but everyone has demands so it was a touch on the slow side. A big touch. However as customers left the service got a lot better. They became friendlier.
We had 7 dimsum dishes, Peking duck (lettuce wrap with the meat), stir fried clams, and fried noodles with beef. And everything (almost) was exquisite. And the things that weren't I think were still good, just not to our liking. For example we had a fried taro stuffed with pork dimsum dish that we thought was too greasy and mediocre at best. Apparently one of their more popular dishes. The snow pea shoot dumpling was a favorite, as was the shrimp and chive. The Peking duck was served with only scallions, no cucumbers - quite alright with me.
Also to note, they did not have plastic cups or dishes, just spoons and forks. They do have high chairs, but that is the extent of their accommodation for families with young children.
It is a good chinese restaurant with that Chinese restaurant smell that punches your nose and makes you go ah~ like when you finally sit on your couch after a long day. Solid. 4.5 no problem.
