- P.Diddy DiddyJune 4, 2013Best Peking Duck and Walnut shrimp period. I mean better than a $50 version made by a top chef in Beijing China good!
Sandro AlbertiFebruary 13, 2016Amazing dim-sum selection, but beware: as much as a lot of it is steamed, not all dim-sum is good for you:- Best Cantonese restaurant for seafood and fried tofu. Always get their pan-fried noodles and pea pot leaves in garlic sauce.
If dim sum carts rattle you, then come here since you order dim sum from a menu.
come in for lunch, it's much cheaper than dinner
