This place is the definition of the traditional dim sum experience! There are push carts everywhere so you can see and select your food live instead of a la carte. The atmosphere is fun and bustling. The service is pretty good for a Chinese restaurant. The food items in terms of taste is more 4/5 and a bit hit or miss, but mostly a hit. The hits that tasted above average and are worth ordering again and rave about are the deep fried chicken wings, egg tarts with creamy eggy filling, the empress bun with the crushy topping filled with bbq pork, the bbq pork pastry that was buttery and flaky, and the beef organ stew with radish. The taro stuffed pastry, rice rolls stuffed with Chinese donut, steamed bbq pork bun, shrimp dumplings, and siu mai here were average. The deep fried squid was not crispy on the outside but the flavour was good. It gets 5 stars for the experience and ambiance as it is rare to find traditional pushcart dim sum these days and they keep a spirit of true dim sum alive. The majority of dishes were great and it’s part of the thrill and fun of dim sum to try as many dishes as possible to find the better tasting ones anyways so the imperfections are also part of a real dim sum experience. It’s a popular and busy place.
Great spot for all day dim sum that is on the lighter, less saltier side. We came in for dim sum, and they’re all priced by tier/size. The dim sum itself was quite large per piece.nnMy favourite was definitely the Deep Fried Pork & Shrimp dumpling as even though there were less fillings than other places, the flavour was well balanced!nnNext time I’ll probably pass on the deep fried chicken wings as they were quite bland - but I’ll stick to the dim sum instead.nnI absolutely LOVE how they have tons of pictures of each dish on the menu!
This restaurant has pretty good standard quality dimsum, very solid selection as well as generous portions. But this is not a refined restaurant, it’s not delicate or creative like those we are used to from Hong Kong.nnThis restaurant is very busy during the weekend, come as it opens or expect to wait for up to an hour near lunchtime. You have been warned
Family members and out-of-town guests had dinner here on a Friday night and were impressed with their meal. Overall they rated the food and service a 4/5. They said there was even dancing - ballroom style.nnThe out-of-town guests were so impressed with the food, they invited me to join them for dim sum before they jumped on the plane home.nThis is a rare place with carts rolling around with various dim sum dishes. After awhile, it would be the same cart rolling around or the popular dishes such as the shrimp rice roll ran out. A dish we all wanted but didn’t have.nnFood: 4/5 - decent selection of dishes that were tasty and fresh. I enjoyed my favorites of shrimp haw gao and salted deep fried dumpling.nnService: 3/5 - need to wave the servers if you have a requestnnAtmosphere: 4/5 - a huge place which gets busy during the weekend with lineups. There's a big stage and TV screen for entertainment and a decent size dance floor that runs down the middle of the restaurant.nnParking: 3/5 - different areas to park ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hrs maximum. It's a good size parking lot that is shared with other businesses but could be difficult to find parking during peak times.nnWheelchair: 5/5 - accessible for both walkers and wheelchairs.
Was there for a large event and I have food allergies which making eating Chinese and Dim Sum impossible. Was able to eat some menu items that were specially prepared for my associate and I with a LOT of advance planning. Really impressed with the care they took. All gluten free made by a separate chef employed for the lunch to cook us our food.
