English spoken fluently there. No language barrier to deal with. Lots of locals means it a good place. Asians and non-asians. That is exactly what this dim sum place looks like. I was in town and wanted some dim sum. I Google a random place and found this place that opens at 11am. I got there at 1120 and it was packed. Lots of locals, lots of Asians and the dim sum carts were busy. I ordered the roast duck and then ate 4 dim sum as I waited. The dim sum were fresh and the service was good on this Saturday. By the time the duck came I was almost full. The duck was good. But the dim sum was better. In hindsight I should just ate dim sum. The menu had crazy amount of items. The venue definitely can host over 100+ people. Many family style tables set up to share dishes. Probably a great place for gatherings. The casual dinning place was friendly and the dim sum carts were fast. The prices range small, large, and xlarge plates and price accordingly. The roast duck plus 5 dim sum dish set me back about $50. The dishes average about $6.00. The parking is in the back and it was free on Saturday. I would definitely go back to this place for dim sum. Revisited Sept 2023: quality seem to went a bit down. The duck was over cooked dry and on the inside was cold from being microwave.

was going to order on Mother's Day but they don't deliver,I asked about Skip the dishes,the guy didn't know anything about that so fast forward to toda. I decide I will place the order & pick it up,but when I Google the name to get the phone number it says it's closed but I dialed the number anyway & apparently they are open,I tell him it says closed & he says don't Google,go to website?? whatever,so I place the order & go pick it up taking my life in my hands driving down Main St to get there. Same unfriendly guy that takes the order hands me my order & hands me the credit card machine,the bill is $67 for 3 dishes? I say $19 for fried rice,really?he says nothing,oh &when I ordered I asked if they include some white rice,the answer is no,so I added that for $2,then I ask for a take out menu,there are none,so I leave thinking this better be really good cause everything else so far is really bad & guess what,it's not!! Lemon chicken is just ok but not really ,breading & chicken are dry & greasy, fried rice is so so definitely not worth $19.25, Cantonese chow mein pretty bad, just a brown dish with a few pieces of broccoli & a little bit of beef & chicken,why are the noodles brown too? & not a packet of soy sauce incl let alone a fortune cookie! Very disappointed,I guess I ordered the wrong thing,I guess maybe dim sum is your specialty so my mistake however I think the guy that answers the phone & takes your payment should retire,he doesn't want to be there & he doesn't enhance the experience in any way, so to summarize.. terrible expensive food, terrible service,terrible experience. I thought I had good food there before but maybe it was next door,would not recommend the Chinese food ,the dim sum might be good but I don't have a take out menu to order from next time,so forget it!

Expensive and appalling. We had a table of 15 and each dish was so small, everyone barely got a serving. The food was overloaded with MSG and was super salty. The fried shrimp balls cost $10 a piece and were so incredibly salty that they were inedible (we had 15 people so this dish alone was $150!!) The fried rice was oily and overly salty. The spare ribs were too sweet but also overly salty. It takes skill to mess it up that badly. The staff are not friendly at all, especially the guy at the front, who wasn't even at the front. The waitress was also rude and completely clueless. We asked her from a small bowl of white rice and she completely ignored us. The quality of this place has gone way down. It's a wonder they are still in business. Not only was the food not good, it was also super expensive. One of the worst meals I've ever had. I would never recommend anyone come here.

Food was great. Very tasty and good portion. But the service was the WORST. Servers kept asking us if we were finished even when there's more than half of the food left in the plates. They also brought us the bill even before we ask. Asking more than 3 times if we are finished or want to pack the leftover made us feel that we were forced to leave. It wasn't even that busy at that time.. I still have no idea of why they had to push us to leave so many times. They added some kind of tea that we didn't have on the bill. The server who helped me with payment struggled to make sperate bills. There were about 4 kids running around and being very loud but nobody said anything. Some people were playing guitar and singing songs at the corner for friend's birthday, I guess? I don't know but the atmosphere was not good at all to have a conversation with my friend. TOO LOUD.

It was our first time there. We ordered the dishes that were popular from the reviews. The baked BBQ pork buns were ever so fresh. The bun itself was homemade and reminded me what grandmas used to make. You get 3 buns per order. We particularly went there for the dim sum and it certainly didn’t disappoint! We ordered the steamed pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings and shrimp/scallop dumplings. Again, the dishes were fresh and piping hot. The Vietnamese rolls were good and the sauce added a nice flavour. We went for supper on a Saturday night about 5:30. The service was fast. Little disappointed that there weren’t any coconut donuts available but it’s a good reason to go back again!

This place is great for events because it's a huge space. They can section off the area too. It was specifically built that way. They do dim sum on the weekends where you order off a cart instead of just off the menu for a more traditional experience. I used to go there and order Peking duck. I'm not sure if it's on the menu. This is between a 3-4 for me. The dim sum prices are a little higher than others so it's not a place that would be a first pick. Also because it's on the cart sometimes it's not piping hot which is a requirement for me. If the prices were lower I'd give it a solid 4. The food (variety at dimsum), atmosphere and presentation make it so it isn't a solid 3.
