Dennis HanDecember 29, 2013Food was mediocre at best. Didn't taste clean or fresh. More expensive than I thought it would be and really rude staff... manager included. Oh and my stomach didn't feel good for 2 days afterward.
Bonnie EisenmanMarch 28, 2015Dim sum was good but not outstanding. Carts came around quickly. No taro root though :(
Sandro PuglieseDecember 25, 2010Head to the inner sanctum & find a planter to lean against - trust me, it'll help when you hit the 30/45 minute wait mark.
Adam AhmedSeptember 20, 2009Best Hong Kong-style dim sum. Make sure you get some shumai, cha shao pao, and dumpling soup.- Try the chicken feet - I took the physical challenge! #dimsumdemolition @foodspotting
William GardnerFebruary 18, 2013Don't bother. Worst service ever. Waited 45 minutes for a table. Then sat at the table for 2 hours with barely any carts or service, and the ones that came would ignore the table. Food was mediocre.
Elena V.February 26, 2011Seriously LEAVE. Then walk a couple blocks to Golden Bridge which has better dim sum.
Ask for "jah lay uh". It's fried dough wrapped in flat rice noodle- Evva KraikulJuly 20, 2013Don't drink the tea! They'll charge you $2.00 for it even if you didn't order a pot.
Yangzhi ZhaoMay 29, 2011This place is a cluster. Expect to share tables with other groups if you have a small party.

"Dim sum in the new space feels more intimate and elegant, although still miss the cavernous nature of the old place and more of the old school crowd."
