The food was great and so was the service and large portions. Also accommodated our request not to mix any meat with our orders and start with clean utensils. If in Madison a good stop to taste great Chinese food !
We tried their lo mein shrimp, shrimp fried rice, shrimp dumplings, boiled fish fillet, mapa tofu, Thai tea for 5 and had plenty to take home as well.
PS: earlier I was mistaken on the billing but they clarified and sent me the original bill as well. So issue was immediately addressed. Thanks.

Jackie was gracious, prompt, and gave clear instructions regarding the menu options. I hadn’t had a true dim sum since my trip to California many ears ago. The dishes we ordered were EXCELLENT. The Mango Dragonfruit drink was fun and refreshing – not too sweet. A great surprise to find this in Madison!

I had an excellent lunch here. I took the servers recommendations and had BBQ Pork Crepe, Baked Creamy Egg Yolk Bun (which was excellent), Short Rib with Honey Sauce (also excellent), Chicken Feet with Special Sauce (first time trying, but was good), and Siu Mai. The chili crisp also helped add flavor to the milder tasting dishes.

Excellent Dim Sum! I spent several months living in Beijing and this was a nice reminder of some foods I missed. Gotta try the Xiao long bao and the congee! They served a table of 6 quick and great quality!

Can’t say enough about the quiet, easy, lunch experience for a 83 birthday for a Japanese man who has international experience in Asian cuisine. Free appetizer comes with birthday lunch. He chose barbecued Short ribs with honey sauce and I had one of their 4 buns with a creamy custard center and flaky skin over soft bun. The Peking Duck was the reason we came and it was perfect. Tender duck carved and laid over lettuce with each slice offering the crispy crust so hard to get right while keeping the meat perfect. The platter was decorated with 8 double buns and accompanied by a gallon of savory duck soup with the bones, cabbage, greens, onions and seasoning perfect. I had beef with onions, rice, and shared the soup. The music and service were ideal. It took almost as long to choose from the extensive menu as it did to enjoy the meal.

Really great food, very interesting flavors on the dishes. The only thing I would change is a finer grind on the meat in the shumai, as i think the large grind takes away from the mouth feel.

Good Dim Sum. Slooooow service.
The 3 star rating is for general service.
We waited to be seated about 10 minutes. The restaurant wasn’t too busy, but had a good amount of people in it.
Once we were seated, we looked through the extensive menu and chose 7 Dim Sum dishes. The dishes came out semi-staggered. We definitely would have left overs.
They forgot one of the dishes. After asking twice about our shrimp crepe, we just told the waiter to forget it and give us our bill.
Not sure where the service problem was coming from. Not enough staff or the kitchen or communication in general.
That said, we will try it again but won’t be rushing back. Definitely go when you aren’t pressed for time or order the food to go!

This review is for the Dim Sum. By far the worst Dim Sum I’ve ever had in my life. Chinese donuts steam crepe was stale and hard, chicken feet was terrible, congee was bland. Bean curd was very oily on the inside. Heed my warning, don’t come here for Dim Sum.

They have a large seating area, but when we went (lunch), is was hardly busy.
After seeing an online menu and seeing that they have many gluten free options, we were excited to go there.
Our dishes weren’t as exciting as we expected.
