I've been wanting to try this place because it's conveniently located right next to my house and I've heard really good things! A friend of mind had told me that the owners were the same as Orchid Garden, so I was quite weary to try this place only because I am not the biggest fan of their dim sum. However, I figured I'd give it a go and the bf and I ordered...
- FRIED TARO 8/10: Really yummy savory taro filling with a delicate fried outer shell. Bf said it was a little salty.
- PORK SHUMAI 5/10: Did not taste like the shumai I'm used to. It had a weird smell, kinda like a dog, but it tasted okay. The bf did say he liked this.
- BEAN CURD SKIN 9/10: I actually quite enjoyed this one. It had vegetables on the inside and wasn't too salty. I would come back for this!
- SHRIMP HARGOW 2/10: I've never had hargow I didn't like until today. Shrimp was not fresh and had a weird texture. The bf and I didn't want to eat more than 1 bite.
- RICE NOODLE w/ SHRIMP 2/10: this is usually my fave dish anywhere I can get dim sum, however the rice noodle was over cooked and was soooo mushy.
- SWEET RICE CAKE 7/10: This was good! I even brought some home to my mom since it's her favorite. My only complaint is that it's not as moist as most other places.
- RED BEAN SESAME BALL 9/10: Served hot and fresh, really yummy.
I think I'd definitely come back to try the other dishes. Service was friendly and attentive and I like that the dim sum is made to order.
