    Best dim sum IMO because the har gows, dumplings, are bigger in size in comparison to other dim sum restaurants and they are more savory in comparison. My favorite dish is probably the chinese donut rice rolls here because they stuff it with shrimp paste! No one else does it like they do and I will die for this dish. Please reopen soon so I can enjoy proper dim sum again.

    Really enjoyed our meal here. Not the best dim sum I've ever had but it was the best dim sum we've had in California so far. Food came out in a prompt and timely manner. The congee was a nice consistency, had great chicken flavor and was seasoned nicely. The shrimp dumplings were good. The black bean spareribs were good and thankfully didn't have that bad pork taste that some places have. The cilantro steamed rice rolls were good. Fried taro cake (dumpling) were yummy. Really can't go wrong with those. The elite baked bbq pork buns were delicious. Loved that sweet syrup baked onto the outside. The elite baked chicken buns were like a pineapple bun with a saucy savory chicken filling. Yummy. Definitely wanting to try other dim sum places in the area still but I would come back here.

    Great place for dim sum, surprised we didn't encounter a massive line which I thought we might expect, maybe we just passed the rush hour time. They serve a lot of the classic dim sum I know and love. Their malay spong cake though was not great. I would skip that. The taste was off and not the right kind of sweet/aroma I was expecting. Rest were pretty good in quality and heatness and I would still come here but I'd prob prefer to go to Sea Harbor if both had the same wait times.

    No more cart! This is a post pandemic dim sum style now! You order and they serve them. I was not expecting as much for this place since Yelp says 3 1/2 stars. They have good food! Though I may say some of their dishes are a little pricey. As a foodie person, price doesn't matter as long as it's good. It was just an eye catching when I paid my check, a bowl of congee with a little bit of pork and preserved egg was $32.99. I think that's a little too much. It was delicious but over price. The rest of what I ordered are pretty much reasonable. Congee with Pork & Preserved Egg: Really good! I like it's creaminess, made very clean, greaseless. It's yummy but pricey. Pork Shui-Mai: It is tasty! You can really taste the meat. The size is pretty generous. Crystal Shrimp Har-Gow: it's the best! They uses good size of shrimp. You can tell the freshness. Sticky Rice Lotus Leaf Wrap: i like the flavor and it's it's Juiciness. Very tasty. Chicken Feet with special sauce: it's cooked differently. They uses a different type of sauce and it is delectable. Scallop Dumpling: I hardly saw scallops in it. All I saw and tasted was shrimp cut in small cubes. Also, it tasted dry. Sesame Balls: it wasn't bad, but nothing special about it. Macau Egg Custard: thin crust, you can taste more custard. It melts in your mouth. Service is not bad. The place was very busy and they can still keep up with the customers. *** A must know: there is a cover charge per person. *** Other than that, it was a great experience and I enjoyed their food.
