Overall, the eight of us enjoyed the food very much. The steamed spareribs were a terrible disappointment. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever and I have low sodium taste buds. That was a waste of money.
We were pleasantly surprised that the food came out quickly but so odd they bought out the dessert first. She explained if we didn’t take them now, it may be a very long wait.

Also be warned that ordering consists of marking up a paper menu. The Chinese and the English descriptions of the dishes aren't necessarily lined up with the boxes where you mark the quantities, so be careful that you clearly indicate which...
Read morethis is a new chinese restaurant that is located at where empress harbor used to be… the dim sums are not at one price for small, medium, large… so i felt more skeptical to order compared to the other ones i typically go with my parents on sundays… they try to have more innovative dim sum choices… but i dun think i like them… i prefer the traditional choices given how they dun seem to be very well made… the dim sum all seem to have collected condensation and not piping hot… the worst part of the experience is that i found a piece of blue fiber from one of those scotch dish scrub sponge in the skin of the shrimp dumpling… i told the staff about it… and they all try to tell me is just the green asparagus… ” not think i'm impressed...
