| - Been here several times for dim sum because it's the closest dim sum place to the westside without having to go into a casino. Because of this, there is typically a wait, unless you get here right when it opens, and it can be a problem finding a parking spot. To combat this, you can always order your food to go, or call ahead to do so, and avoid the wait. Prices are average for dim sum, with a mix of 12 small and medium dishes coming in around $40 with tax.
As for the food, it is satisfying if you have a craving, but only just so. There is nothing here that I have loved, nor anything they make that I specifically crave. Most of the dishes are average, or even tasty. The problem is that they are extremely skimpy on the good stuff. For example, some of my dim sum favorites are char siu bao (bbq pork bun) and lo mai gai (stuffed sticky rice). Both of these are tasty here, but they come with very little filling. The bbq pork bun is too much bun and not nearly enough meat filling, I'd say less than half that of a good place in California. And the sticky rice is all rice, you honestly cannot say that there is a layer of filling, only small patches. The taste is there in the parts that you get, but there simply isn't enough of it.
If you are in the area and don't want to drive to a casino or to the Chinese area of Las Vegas, then this place is alright. I definitely don't recommend you go out of your way to come here though. If they weren't so skimpy, and added more filling to their items, then I would make this a regular spot.
