Super authentic experience. It is super super crowded on the weekends so either get there super early or closer to 2pm. Very very packed between 12-1pm. The parking is kind of difficult during rush house. But still the wait time isn’t really more than 30-40minutes. We went at 11:30 and wouldn’t recommend getting there later than that. They don’t do reservations. So many food options!!!

Classic Cantonese banquet hall-like restaurant serving dim sum and full menu dinner selections. Visited on two weekdays, mostly empty, so service was quick and simple. Dinner menu adequate, with fish maw and seafood soups, seafood pan fried noodles, and beef ho hun with or without sauce I'd recommend. Spicy sauces are available on request.

This is a newly opened Cantonese restaurant. We heard it from CA friends who came visit here a week ago. They tried DimSum and gave me recommendations. I came here for dinner with other 8 people. We ordered 10 dishes and all think it really worth revisiting for its DimSum. The service was quick and the staffs were courteous. The price was a bit cheaper than the other same level Cantonese restaurant. Why is it only 4 stars from me? I reserve the last one for next time DimSum visit!

Our party of 12 came here with a Friday night reservation for 6:30 PM. We weren't celebrating anything in particular but we did order a lot of the classic birthday dishes, including fried flounder, lobster, abalone, chicken, conch with fried tofu and shrimp, fried shrimp with mayo, sweet and sour pork ribs, longevity noodles, and fried rice. I haven't had this type of traditional Cantonese food in years, so this was very nostalgic for me. My favorites were definitely the fried flounder and the lobster. The shrimp with mayo was a little disappointing because it was just a lot of batter. Typically, it should just be a light coating, so that was a bit different. Although this is a bit far for me, I think I would still be willing to make the trek every once in a while, especially since there isn't really any authentic Cantonese food by my neighborhood.

Overall review for dim sum : good Recommend: pineapple buns with egg yolk custard, pineapple bun tarts with egg yolk, calamari Good: radish cake, lotus leaf dumpling (nuo mi ji), shu mai, taro cake, pepper steak, steamed short rib, chicken feet Ok: tripe (niu ban ye), chive pocket, tofu skin wrapped shrimp There are some nice specialties here that are executed well. Definitely would recommend any pastries with the egg yolk center. The calamari is crispy and nice Many of the dim sum staples we grew up with were not as flavorful as expected. Might be good for a crowd that likes lighter flavors. Textures were all correct though so nothing seemed over- or under- steamed. I was disappointed in the fried tofu skin wrapped shrimp, it wasn't very flavorful and was greasy and overcooked though not yet into burnt territory. It's not super crowded but it does get full. Going at a busier time ensures more fresh items and also a better selection. Going at open ensures a seat but not everything will be available yet.

Solid spot. I love their dim sum. While you can order off the menu during the week, it's so much better on weekends when they have the carts. Like many others have stated, it's like Chinatown in NYC. One thing that irks me, the service sucks. Every time I ever asked a server for anything, it's met with an eye roll or I'm quickly dismissed. Soy sauce, water, anything, always like they are doing me a favor.
