Food 4/5 – Ordered typical dim sum, everything tasted good and was nice and hot (except egg tarts). Siu-mai was delicious, good size packed with lots of pork (soft with no chewiness). Shrimp in har-gow is good size and cooked perfect (nice bounce texture). Shrimp/leek dumplings have soft skin with good filling portion. Turnip cake has nice char on the outside and soft inside. Rice noodles are very soft. Sponge cake is soft and moist. Egg tarts were definitely baked earlier in the morning as it wasn’t warm, crust could be more flaky but it’s fine. Squid w/ black bean sauce, the squid wasn’t stir-fried long enough to absorb any flavor. Poached chicken was fine.
Service 5/5 – Service is good, servers pass by consistently to pick up empty dishes and refill the tea pot without flagging someone down.
Atmosphere 4/5 – Interior is good with Chinese themed decor.
Overall – Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.

My buddy n I were furloughed during the 2025 government shutdown n decided to make the best during the furlough. AYCE dimsum sounded like a great selection. Came to Bistro 1968 n parking was easy. We were seated promptly as there was no line n only about 10 tables on a Tuesday around 1115. We selected many of the dimsum stables for our first round. Dimsum started to come after a few minutes. They were steamed to order as they were piping hot!! Both my buddy n I found the har gow, siu mai, seafood dumplings, n shrimp n beef rice rolls flavor were all very good. We both wolfed down everything n quickly ordered our second round. Totally for two was $42 before tips! What a steal as we must have 20 selections.

Came in for dinner, so this review is not on their ayce. I have to say the food portion and taste is top notch for dim sum/ Cantonese style food. The flavor is not super heavy as opposed to some restaurant just pour in the salt. There dim sum choice price range $7-9, they also have a lot of $15 which all come in generous portion. Overall I have to say this place is a bit of surprise to me on how good the food is and affordability. I will definitely go back for their ayce and see what that offers.

My first time here, there is parking, but you might missed the entrance to the parking structure, we went for the ayce, food came quickly. And the smaller portion sizes was perfect because we sampled many items,

NO MORE AYCE DIM SUM AS OF NOV 30TH, 2025!
– medium sized parking garage
– dim sum $4.88 each (which is great because you cant find under $5 much these days!)
– lunch special $14.88 per dish
– delicious, authentic cantonese flavor
– plenty of seating, can call ahead to make reservations if needed
– you might need to wait during peak hours, but service is fast
overall, 4/5 stars!

Update from August, 2025:
They changed their regular dim sum vs ayce menus. Many items are moved to the regular dim sum menu now, and ayce has much more limited choices to choose from now (see photo). Still good quality and worth a visit, just less appealing compared to previously.
All-you-can-eat dim sum
No waiting at 5pm, and reservation is allowed for a group of >8 people.
Food was surprisingly well even for non-ayce standard, so it’s exceptional for an ayce.
Favorite dishes:
– Egg tart
– Char Siu
– Boiled veggies (all kinds, no grease and fresh!)
– Creamy salty egg yolk bao
– Shrimp fried rice
– Beef tripes
– Lotus leaf wrap
– Baked pineapple – char siu bao
(Hagao was not bad, too)
Service for decent, and we did get served pretty quickly. Comfortable, quiet seating at 5pm.
The only complaint? No dining table turntable for a large group to be able to share these small dishes among 9 of us.

It’s all you can eat dim sum for weekday $19.68 each each dish has more potion than other dim sum store. So order less in the beginning then add on later. You have 90 minutes to eat. And if you didn’t finish all food then they will charge $3.99 a dish. Anyway, personally do feel it’s a good deal with tasty food.

Organized. Short wait to sit down as well getting the order dishes. Only took 5 minutes between order and 1st dishes but the remaining came quickly after. Food was delicious. Recommend only ordering what can handle so maybe about 10-15 items are plenty. Anything more than that may put you in OD zone. Overall, dim sum affordable. Veggies fantastic. If ordered separately elsewhere, then likely more than $25+ per person. Tight parking spots limited. Thanks!

This all you can eat dim sum place is amazing, with good quality, good portion size, and a reasonable price $25.88 per person. My wife and I ordered 11 dishes, liked Steamed chicken feet, Beef tripe, house special crispy shrimp, sliced taro cake, and crab meat egg roll. Others were okay or so so, including Egg Tofu w/ Abalone sauce, Bean curd skin roll in soup, Minced pork dumpling, Seaweed & Shrimp paste cake, pork Siu-Mai. It’s better to go with a group of people so you can try as many dishes as possible.

Initially, I was excited that this place was AYCE. I came here during lunch. The first few plates I ordered were good. After that, everything else tasted mediocre or wasn’t good at all.
The decent dishes were:
shrimp har gow, soy pan fry noodles, siumai, and chicken feet
I didn’t like these plates:
beef balls (lacked flavor), beef chow fun (barely had any meat), steam turnip cake (this tasted mushy and disgusting!), seafood dumpling (shrimp on the inside with unnecessary excess dumpling skin on the outside to make you full faster), spare ribs (thick chunks), and wonton in chili oil.
The staff brings out the dishes after ordering on paper. The food comes out hot. They use too much soy sauce and sodium in their dishes. You can’t leave leftovers, or else you’ll get charged $4/plate. Their portion sizes are bigger than other typical dim sum places, especially the noodle dishes. They charge extra (~$6 more per person) during big and even small holidays and the weekend (almost $26 instead of $20). You also get a pot of hot tea for $2/person.
The restaurant temp was on the warmer side. AC temp must have been set higher because I started sweating the whole time while I was there; I’m usually the one who’s cold.
There’s a free parking structure in the back of the building, where the entry is on the right side. Sometimes, the parking lot is packed where you may have to park on the street.
It’s better to come in a larger group so they can help you finish off the food that weren’t as good, so you can try more dishes and hope the dishes you select taste good lol.
For the price I paid, I’d rather go elsewhere and enjoy the food, and I’ll still be able to take leftovers home without an additional charge.
The best thing about this place is that the workers are efficient.
