First experience at this restaurant- the staff was very courteous and attentive. They were very helpful with making sure we got our dim sum orders even if the food wasn't currently out on the carts: the child in our party was very impressed that they had 3 different flavours of congee and had the traditional pork and the plain one which we ended up having leftovers that we transformed into a sinigang-arroz caldo hybrid but that's more for another day. This is what we ordered: Har gow, siomai, chicken feet (still not my thing), deep fried short ribs with honey lemon sauce, pork and preserved egg congee, plain congee, rice noodle roll with shrimp, pan fried seafood pancake, and deep fried sesame balls. The traditional hacao was decent, I'm told the siomai was quite good but wouldn't know because it disappeared before I had any. I really loved the seafood pancake. The Cantonese Chow Mein was a bit of a miss for me because the calamari was the thin kind and so it ended up a little over cooked and rubbery, and the sauce on the noodles was a little too salty so the real flavour was muted by comparison. The texture and consistency of the noodles were okay. The short ribs were a definite highlight- loved the seasoning on it as it wasn't as super sweet as most kalbi. The sesame balls were massive: but the superfan at our table is used to the filling being a red bean paste and this was I believe a mung bean paste so the superfan gave it no stars. Pro tip: use an air fryer for seafood pancake and cantonese chow mein leftovers: the crispy mixed with the soaked in flavor definitely made these dishes better second...

We called before coming. “Do you have waiting staff passing by with carts?” “Yes, yes!” “All day?” “ Yes, yes!”

Foul smell greets us upon arriving on the 3rd floor. Very few people inside. Greeter hurries us, but not in a totally unfriendly manner. Just the traditional, and Asian “go sit down!”

We do, and a waitress throws menus on the table with a pencil “Choose!” I reply, “We’re here for cart service!” She says “No, no cart!” Another waitress with better command of the English comes by and tells us: “Cart not good. Not many people, so cart food go around and around and is cold, not fresh. Choose menu!”

And in the meantime, two waitresses are going around pushing carts with food that (she was right) does not look good by they insist: “Noodle? Vegetable? Shrimp? And they find some tourists happy to say yes to their awful offerings.

We order a few things from the Dim Sum menu. The prices have exploded, and the portions shrunk! A plate of bad “Snow Pea Leaves” has no taste and costs $21; each plate of Dim Sum contains pitiful rolls or other items that are not only costing $4.50 to $9.50 each but are not refined and tasty as we were used to pre-Covid.

Total price? $109 for 6 tiny plates of Dim Sum and one of Snow Pea Leaves for 2 adults and 2 children.

To end our ordeal, the waiter “must” add a tip. He takes the card and presses 15% service (which was none existent and we were telling him we want to give tip in cash as we wanted to leave only 10% = $11) he put through the total with 15% telling us it’s the minimum!!!

Please avoid at all cost. A...
