I had those dishes and they were ok. The har gow could use fresher and bigger shrimps. The congee lacked ginger in it, but the texture was good. The rice rolls weren’t smooth and thin enough. The flat rice noodles and tofu pudding were good. As for the matcha bun, the matcha was only at the top of the bun. There wasn’t any matcha taste, and there should be lava custard inside but mine was dry. Also had the tofu skin roll which was very oily.
The service was good and quick. The restaurant would get very noisy, and it would be difficult to talk without letting tables near you hear about your conversation.
The restaurant is very popular. I highly recommend getting onto their waitlist, which is available on their website, from the time you set off.
Unfortunately, my most recent visit was very disappointing and concerning.
I went with my son and we spent close to $100 on dim sum and other dishes that looked beautiful, but the food — especially the shrimp — was not fresh. Some of it tasted old and unsafe to eat.
We could not finish the food, so we took the rest home. I gave some of it to a friend of mine (who does not live with me).
Both of us became sick the next day. My friend — who is also my employee — was so ill that he could not even come to work. This tells me clearly that this was not just about bad taste — the food was not safe for consumption.
I want to say something important:
The service is still excellent. The waitresses are some of the best in Houston — friendly, kind, and professional. The restaurant itself is welcoming and comfortable.
But the food quality and freshness have seriously declined, and that is what matters most.
To the owner — this is honest advice from a long-time customer:
If this continues, people will notice and stop coming. Please go back to your old standards of freshness and food safety. This restaurant once had an excellent reputation, and it can again — but only if the food is handled properly.
I am truly disappointed, especially after supporting this place for so many years.
