Environment: located on a less crowded street with prominent location, relatively easy to find. The interiors are well decorated and tables are spread out in good distance so it wonāt feel noisy as smaller restaurants. Overall 4/5āļø Food: Cucumber salad was ok, definitely not a must-have appetizer, slightly sour but not enough soy sauce. You can add their chili oil, which was flavorful. 3/5āļø Shrimp rice rolls had rice rolls on the thicker side, but shrimp was juicy, bouncy, and well seasoned, definitely give it a try. Turnip cake had good portion and quality ingredients. The umami from shrimp and dried scallops really comes through. 4/5āļø Durian custard puff pastry was definitely one of the best Iāve tried in Chinatown. Its shell was crispy and had a hefty, flavorful portion of durian. Good contrast of creamy and crunchy texture. Donāt miss out if you like durian. 4/5 āļø Chicken feet is one of my must-have order at every dim sum restaurant to test out their chefās skills. Just like you order mapo tofu at any Sichuan restaurant if you plan to become their regular. This restaurants deliver a good quality chicken feet with the right tenderness and flavors. The skin and tendons fell apart from the bone easily. Seasoning a bit on the sweeter side, which is not major but noticeable. 4/5 āļø Shrimp dumpling is another highly technical that can tell you how skillful the chef is. While some restaurants resort to heating up frozen shrimp dumplings, Iām glad that this place is has not breach that trust. Semi-translucent wrapper and juicy bouncy shrimps. This dish delivers. 4/5 āļø Seafood shumai is a classic to order as previously mentioned good quality. Flavors and quality are on point but not the top-tier. 3.5/4āļø Salted egg yolk here is my favorite dish I tried so far! Its bun was fluffy, pillowy soft while itās fillings were piping hot and semi-fluid. Amazing texture and savory flavor of salted egg yolk. Definitely order this and it wonāt disappoint. 5/5āļø Service: Fast service with good amount of attentiveness, but they did miss to deliver one of our...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreits right there in pricing for quality, which is good+ vs much of chinatown. we had rice rolls, beef and shrimp, were slightly above avg due to the wraps being kinda thick but the soy sauce that comes with it is def very good. duck dumplings were garbage(its not common and not easy to get right). short rib in garlic sauce was excellent and best thing on our 1st try of the place. seafood shui mai, very good, their tofu skin wraps are pretty much the best ive had and i eat those on the reg. leaf wrapped rice is ok. the yee mein is def good. this probably holds for many places as i do not advise going here when they are swamped(ofc i put in 2 orders this moment and not only is it a busy time but they said theyre hosting a party as well... we will see, cant really fault them on anything as i am going against my own advice). the managers are def on pt for most part and they pretty much handle everything reasonably. the woman handling the phone majority of the time is a stickler for giving exactly what the customer ordered. i am a huge fan of beef with bittermelon as you can see from reviews of other restaurants... finally decided to order it from here and i must say its the best ive had in my life. the bittermelon was as if its local organic from a farmer where the flavor pops true like when you eat industrial eggs vs farmer eggs finding the latter far far superior in all aspects. the bittermelon flavor transferred onto beef like i dont remember ever experiencing and made as i requested. proper cultured cast iron flavor all respectable chinatown restaurants have. the chinese broccoli sauteed with garlic, pea shoots sauteed with garlic(we request they not add sugar to our veggies) are things we order regularly along with beef&bittermelon. a variety of the dimsum though the wife likes a different spot for rice rolls we regularly give our biz to but its that they use a very thin delicate wrap for their rice rolls which i...
