I usually really like the dim sum here but my lunch here yesterday was a real letdown. We came right before 2pm so maybe the timing something to do with it but I'm told their dim sum is on till 4pm.
The har gow was the worst I've ever had, and I rarely get to say that about har gow. The shrimp was tiny, rubbery, and it tasted "off". I was just glad we didn't get sick off it. It tasted completely different from how they used to do it here so I'm not sure if they used a bad batch, but if so it shouldn't have been served in the first place. Another staple, the shiu mai, was also pretty bad. It was tasty usually but it was tiny and I'm not sure if it had any fish egg topping either. If it did, it wasn't noticeable. The shiu mai here used to be huge but it seems the owner is shrinking it every single year. Even the bbq pork rice roll was disappointing, there were tiny slivers of bbq pork in it. We also ordered some fried pork & veggie dumpling that was actually served to us cold. The lady pushing the cart never bothered to heat it back up for us I guess. Stuff like this should be basic! The only dishes I liked were the steamed choy sum with oyster sauce. The xiao long bao was also decent.
Overall, it seems like they're skimping on everything that costs money now. Despite that, prices are higher than other dim sum spots. That's not a good combination. I hope the owner recognizes this soon because it'd be a shame for one of the few good dim sum spots in the city to keep on this path.
