This is my first time ordering from this restaurant. The quantity and quality of the food were amazing! We ordered the pork and shrimp Xiu Mai (dumplings), Heo Quay (fried pork)and various other items (can’t remember the names). Everything was delicious! Just a word of caution. We ordered online at 4:20pm. The website stated that they are open until 5pm. Once we completed our order, a confirmation text was sent to my phone for the time of pickup. To our surprise, the pickup was scheduled for the FOLLOWING day at 8am! I guess I expected that my dinner would be available on the same day that I ordered, especially 40 minutes before closing? Since we were already in the neighborhood and we couldn’t find their phone number to cancel, we decided to go in to the store (we were a couple of miles away). We arrived at 4:30 and they were already cleaning up and putting away food. After explaining my situation, the 2 ladies in the restaurant decided to make my order. Overall, the food was great. The ordering is weird since you have to pay first before knowing when you’ll get your food (could be the next day). However, they redeemed themselves by accommodating our order. Unfortunately, the process for ordering will probably stop me from ordering there again. The Atmosphere was good. This restaurant is located in a Vietnamese grocery store. The store and parking lot were busy but we enjoyed the immersive (for lack of a better description)...
Read moreThis is the place to go for dim sum takeout, tremendous value and great tasting.
To be honest the dim sum would have been much better if we re-steamed it before eating but the food was solid even as is.
$39.44 for the total in my picture. Siu Mai, shrimp dumplings, shrimp roll, "phoenix" feet, fried shrimp ball, egg tart and custard bun, and a Thai tea float.
Siu Mai was plenty plump, great texture and seasoning. Shrimp dumpling and shrimp roll was all stuck to each other by the time we ate, but fresh no doubt would have been smooth and great bouncy texture (vs mealy = bad). The Phoenix feet is a good soy bean flavor, not overly salty, the texture was nice and soft. Fried shrimp ball was fried well and had a nice bouncy texture.
The egg tart was fantastic. The crust was flaky and tender while the egg custard wasn't overly sweet. The bottom was a bit over done, but I like it.
We got the custard bun just to give it a mouth and ooze out the custard lol. But it was good! It had the preserved egg yolk mixed into the custard, it was a bit grainy but I liked it.
I'm so over the crowd and chaos that is sit down dim sum, my complaints here are heavily out weighed by the fact that it's take out and it's delicious.
Got here at 12:30pm on a Wednesday, the parking lot is chaos but there's plenty of parking if it's far away from the grocery store. Highly recommend this place to satisfy the dim...
Read moreI came here last Sunday. It's a door on the side of the grocery store where you place your order and pick it up and take it with you. I do not believe there is a dine in option here. On Sunday afternoon there were maybe two or three people in line ahead of me and today (Saturday) I walked right up to the window at about 4:00 p.m. I'm not actually familiar with dim sum but egg tarts I know and that's what I ordered. They were incredible. Hands down the best egg tarts I have ever had. The crusts are the perfect balance of flaky and buttery and the custard not too stiff, not too, soft textural perfection. They're savory and not too sweet but somehow they still manage not to be too eggy. I had some business in the area so I didn't actually take my first bite until a couple of hours after I purchase them and they held up just fine. They weren't soggy or stale. I inhaled a whole order before I could make it home. I went back today to get more egg tarts and I'm not even going to tell you how many orders I placed... But just so you know, one order of egg tarts is three tarts for under $5 with tax included and I'm pretty sure I waited less than 5 minutes. I took photos of the menu so I can plot my next visit....
