  • Came here for dim sum on a Sunday morning at around 10:30am. I thought there would be a lineup but luckily there were a few tables available. When we left at around 11:45am there was a line up. My recommendations: come early on weekends at 9am to 10:30am or arrive late at about 1:00pm or just don't bother coming at all. The parking lot is small for a dim sum place and the wait can be long if you come during peak times. Inside is beautifully decorated. There are no words to describe and probably the nicest looking dim sum restaurant you can find in the area. Service was excellent and really fast. Right after we placed our order we started getting food within 5 minutes or less. Empty dishes were cleared up fast and teapots refilled quickly. Price is higher than the typical dim sum restaurant but its well worth it. There is no price listed on the menu and did not see any mention of early bird specials so I am assuming there is no early bird special. But based on the items we ordered: Small (S) = $3.10, Medium (M) = $4.10 Large (L) = $5.10 I usually don't review every item at a dim sum restaurant but with this place I think its worth mentioning. So here it goes..... Tea is charged at $1.30 per person :( 1) Siu Mai ($5.10) - four super large pieces. I usually shove the whole thing in my mouth but these were so large I could not do so without looking like a pig. 2) Scallop and spinach dumpling ($5.10) - three pieces only. Good amount of scallops. 3) Chicken feet ($4.10) - oh so yummy. The sauce it was cooked in was done just the way I like. A hint of sweetness. 4) Papaya custard layer cake ($4.10) - soft and fluffy 5) Crispy sesame ball with egg yolk custard ($5.10) - nice and runny egg yolk custard 6) Crispy whole shrimp ($5.10) - shrimps were deep fried with a light flaky outer shell. Giant sized shrimps. Came with a mayo type dipping sauce which I could just put on anything and it would taste good. 7) Cuttlefish tentacles ($5.10) - cooked perfectly just the way I like. You can see the caramelization of the sauce on the tentacles. A hint of sweetness. The best and just as good as the ones I had at Yang's Fine Chinese Cuisine. 8) Ham sui gok ($3.10) - deep fried outer shell was nice and crispy. The inside was soft and had huge chunks of pork meat. 9) Shrimp rice roll ($5.10) - silky smooth, soft rice rolls with giant sized shrimps. 10) Pumpkin and chestnut congee $5.10 - not too watery and not too thick but done just right. Love the addition of chestnuts in the congee. I can say with confidence that this is probably the best money can buy in terms of dim sum. The only complaint I can find is that I wish they had more items on the menu like more variety on steamed buns. And I wish they had tofu fa (aka sweet tofu pudding). Everything tasted great. Everything tasted fresh. The ingredients they use are obviously higher quality. The only average dishes in my opinion were the papaya custard cake and the sesame ball with egg yolk. Even though they were only average to me, they were by no means a bad dish. I see a lot of mixed reviews here and even my favourite reviewer Jennifer K. only gave it a 2.5 stars but that was a while ago so things may have changed since then. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return.
