Another day, another family Chinese dinner. We seriously love going out for Chinese whenever we're celebrating something or we're just near a Chinese restaurant. And we love dim sum. The fact that this place serves dim sum all day is a bonus.
We got there at around 8 pm. The place had a decent amount of patrons, but had plenty of free tables. We got our usual dim sum staples of pork siu mai, shrimp balls, and miscellaneous dumplings. We also ordered Sesame Chicken and Hong Kong-style Noodles with Seafood.
The dim sum was pretty good considering it was in the evening. The sui mai was soft and pretty juicy. The shrimp balls were big and tasted great with the sweet mayo. And I cannot recommend soy sauce mixed with some chili oil enough!
The sesame chicken wasn't anything special. Good but nothing noteworthy. The Hong Kong-style noodles were great, though. More noodles and the sauce wasn't bland like at other places.
The servers were also decently friendly, got us water, and speak English. Additionally, none of them mistook me for being Chinese! It was probably because my parents were with me and they look more non-Chinese than I.
This is the first time we ate here. Thanks to my friends for recommending this place. I'm adding Orchids Garden to my list of go-to Chinese sit down restaurants.
