This is one of my top places for a dim sum lunch. Unlike the places that are available in convoy, this hidden gem has lots of parking and great prices. You can order from the dim sum trays or the menu available. I always love coming here with my family cause it’s easy and the staff here is very nice. It’s great for our families and groups.
My recommendations?
Shrimp shumai
Sticky rice
Any of the dumplings
Sesame balls
Barbecue pork bun
The quality and portions of their dim sum items are definitely up to par. Note that at lunch time on weekends, even their huge dining hall fills up. They serve dim sum all day, but after the lunch crowd, some items would run out.
Our server repeatedly ignored our table for over 30 minutes. We kept raising our hands and trying to get her attention, and each time she said she would come back after attending to another table. Unfortunately, she continued to focus on just two tables that already had plenty of food, while we were left with an empty table and no service at all.
I wish our server had been more attentive and courteous like some of the other staff we observed. Good food alone isn’t enough to make up for poor service, and this experience left a bad impression.
Go early on the weekends if you don’t want to wait for a table. They open at 9:30AM. By 11:30AM, there is usually a line.
We ordered shumai, bbq pork steamed bun, shrimp and chive pan-fried dumplings and shrimp and chive steamed dumplings. Plus jasmine tea.
Our favorites were the shumai and the shrimp and chive steamed dumplings. All the the dumplings were packed with the fillings and flavorful. I appreciate that they were not overly seasoned or too salty. For the pan-fried dumplings, though it was delicious, I jist expected more crispiness on the bottom.
For the bbq pork buns, the bun was very moist and soft and good proportion between the filling and the bun. The bbq wasn’t unnaturally bright red as they typically are at other places, which I appreciated. But the filling felt mushy and mostly saucy, not much meat to chew. I would’ve like it more meaty and less saucy.
The pricing was reasonable given the quality of the food. Their tip suggestion was also reasonable and it was based on the subtotal, not total 😉
The place looked modernized and rather clean.
If you’re looking for exquisite, artisanal dimsum, this wouldn’t be it. But if you like homey, decent quality dimsum, this place will satisfy you.
Dimsum is served all day, everyday, but the cart service ends at 2 pm.
