Food is ehhh, you can’t expect 626-quality here. Lo bac guo was definitely on the plain side and the pei dan sau yuk jook (pork and preserved egg congee), while nicely loaded with century eggs, was a shredded pork that was not particularly flavorful.
I was dining alone for a late lunch. I know restaurants can get busy, but as the crowd thinned out around 2:30 PM, the glaring difference in how I was treated compared to other tables became impossible to ignore.
The Food & Service:
• My drinks and dishes were entered incorrectly right from the start, despite using their paper order system.
• My first dim sum course served was served COLD. I politely asked them to reheat it, and it came back still cold.
• Two other dim sum courses were missing for 40 minutes. When I finally flagged the server down, the dishes magically appeared a second later, completely lukewarm. They clearly weren’t made fresh and had just been sitting around.
• While the server constantly checked in on nearby white customers, I was completely ignored. It took multiple laps just to get a to-go box and my check.
When my bill finally arrived, a 15% auto-gratuity had been secretly added with zero verbal warning or signage. Worse, the receipt still printed a suggested tip line at the bottom, which apparently is a classic trap to trick customers into double-tipping.
When I asked the female server about it, she claimed it was a “Chinese New Year policy for everyone.”
This was a blatant lie, which she spent 0 second on fabricating and just let out of her mouth the smoothest way.
The table right next to me, a party of 8 white diners, did not have an auto-gratuity applied to their check. Neither was the table of white customers in front of my table. Standard restaurant practice applies auto-gratuity to large parties, yet here they forced it on a solo Asian diner and waived it for a large table of white diners.
When I pointed out this obvious double standard, the server became extremely hostile, raising her voice and snapping, “So what do you want? Or you can just skip paying the entire bill, how about that?” The manager finally came over, but instead of apologizing, he just played dumb when the other table’s receipt proved they weren’t being charged the same way.
I eventually got the forced tip removed and left a 1-cent tip.
The food made me feel sick afterward, but the deceptive, discriminatory service was the real insult. Despite being a long term customer to this restaurant, I will not be coming back, and management urgently needs to look into how their staff treats and bills different demographics although I suspect it was exactly them who worked altogether and designed this bullshit.
Big portions and average prices. The congee was a bit much! Lots of table!
Came here for lunch and wasn’t busy.
Liked the shrimp rice rolls. I would say the foods were okay! Not too bad!
The first thing that struck me was how unfriendly the one gentleman that I saw running the place was to me. After reading a few reviews about how friendly the staff is- was kind of stunned, that he abruptly kind of tossed a menu at me and dropped a pen on it. Apparently he can’t be bothered with Caucasians who don’t speak Chinese.
I asked him a few polite questions about the different items, but since he’s limited in his English, we didn’t get far.
Also, confused by reviews that say this is the only dim sum place in West LA – in case you weren’t aware, a few blocks away closer to UCLA is a really really amazing dim sum house that has larger portions, and the prices are close to half of what these prices are.
I ordered one dish just to get an idea of quality, and I have to say it was mediocre.
All I can think is that all these great reviews must be from people who either weren’t raised on dim sum or have lost context for what really great dim sum is supposed to be.
But at close to $10 for for a little bit of 4 shrimp dumplings …??
Try IXLB Literally just down the street. You’ll be glad that you did.
Service was fast and all the food was hot! The ambiance is your typical older Chinese restaurant, cozy
