| - Had Dim Sum there on Saturday November 23, 2013.
Not bad, not great, but somewhere in between.
We got there just after 10:30 a.m. and were surprised that is was jammed with people. Then we found out that it opens at 9:00 a.m. every day and until 11:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays all dishes of every size are just $2.30. It's an even better deal on week days when all Dim Sum dishes are just $2 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Some dishes like the Har Gow and Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles were okay, but did not have the sweet freshness that we'd experienced a couple of weeks earlier across the street at Noble Seafood. The Curried Cuttlefish were quite soft and non-chewy which showed that they were fresh and steam cooked, but the dish did not have a proper amount of curry. For seafood Dim Sum we'd probably prefer going over to Noble.
The Chau Siu Bau (BBQ Pork Bun) was quite good with an ample amount of well cooked pork in a moist bun. The the Do Fu Fah desert was hot and delicious.
The Eggplant with fish paste, Tofu with fishpaste and Fried Turnip cakes were all pretty good, light and tasty and not at all greasy like I might have expected from some other recent reviews.
The most fried dish we had was the Onion pizza with is basically fried dough with lots of chopped green onions inside of it. They obviously made sure to clean the grease off before serving it because it was tasty, but didn't feel or taste oily, which I would have expected when it was as hot and fresh as it was when it came to us.
Whenever we hadn't seen something from the ladies with the carts, we simply asked one of the younger girls there and she quickly dashed off to get it and bring it back to our table. They were terrific, so I don't know why I keep reading about lousy service unless they're new hires.
$25 (including tax) for 2 very full people was a great price for an acceptable if not great Dim Sum.
