| - Came here for dim sum breakfast one morning and dinner one evening. Prices are reasonable for their tasty dim sum and entrees. The dim sum and dinner entrees are really good!
Served via a moving cart, the dim sum are freshly made and steaming hot, which included steamed items, rice with meat/veggies, congee, fried or baked items, cheong fun (rice rolls), and desserts. Although we looked forward to trying their wide assortment of dim sum, we had a limited choice of items because of where we were seated. We noticed that the dim sum carts followed a regular path around the main dining area which leads into a separate dining area and out again to the main area. As we were seated at the end of the carts' routing, we easily saw the popular items being selected as fast as you can blink by other diners before the carts came to us. As such, it was kind of disappointing to find that they didn't have much of a variety on the carts by the time they came to us; however, what we were able to get were delicious. Just before we left, we asked for a take-out menu, which we were given. So here's my plan for the next time: we'll ask for a table at the beginning of the carts' routing and bring the take-out menu so that we can "pre-order" certain items if they are not on the carts (the only drawback, though, is that we won't know how they look like).
We decided to have dinner here to try their specialty, the Peking Duck. We loved it, and will be back for more, considering how good it was and pricewise, how reasonable it was. The server brings the whole duck to show you, and with your approval, will carve it in front of you. The duck's crispy skin, with a little piece of meat, green onion, and hoi sin sauce, is eaten with a thin "pancake wrapper," similar to a thin tortilla. The second course includes the rest of the duck meat removed from the bones and stir-fried with veggies and sauce and eaten wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves. We also ordered their house noodles. The meal came with complimentary soup and dessert (sweet soft tofu or black bean sesame). Everything was very good, and the portions were generous.
We noticed that there were specials written on a board on the wall above the fish tanks; however, we could not read it because everything was written in Chinese. Despite giving excellent service, our server could speak very little English, so we were directed to the manager a number of times, as he could understand and speak English and was able to answer our questions about our orders. I guess that's the drawback of going to these good and authentic restaurants - you're not gonna get a first-rate experience unless you can speak Chinese or are with friends who can. As with the breakfast, we got a take-out dinner menu, and when we go back, I'll study the menu and get an idea what we want instead of going in blind. Will still need the help of the manager to tell us what the specials are on the board, though.
Despite the language barrier, we loved the food!
