Great option after sporting events! Chinatown is flooded with hungry fans some nights and this restaurant is a good place to go if you’re one of them. Friendly service, hot tea, generous portions of delicious food. It’s a little sticky in places but so are you. I highly recommend the huge shrimp and big flavorful bowls of congee.

Purple Dot Cafe is always reliable, Great late-night spot with tasty food and fast service. The staff is available and the atmosphere is cozy. They raised the prices of the small menu from $5 to $7 but the sizes are the same.

I am so happy for going into this restaurant on the first day of 2026. We experienced very friendly staff and top tier authentic Asian style dim-sum brunch.
I will definitely visit again for brunch or afternoon tea.
The existing reviews must have been under rated.

The food was really good and authentic. I had the half of a roasted duck (crispy in season to perfection, the best duck I’ve ever had) he had the noodle soup.
Disclaimer, organ soup is on the menu so there is a fragrance in the air. But if you want it authentic experience you will easily look pass that. The food was very good and the service was kind.
It seemed like a mom-and-pop place and those were my favorite.
Thanks for the good food. I highly recommend this place.

Lucky to find this place after getting out of a concert feeling hungry. Great prices. Friendly and fast service. Clean with a great atmosphere. Generous food portions. Well prepared and nourishing food that doesnt leave you feeling heavy or sluggish. Fantastic, balanced flavors. Try the Beef Tendons!

They charged me $8 for two pieces of shumai during the Lunar new year food walk. Have been inside for food before and it was fine, but this was just scammy. There’s a reason why they are lower rated than the multitude of other dim sum restaurants on the same block.

I recently dined at here, and overall, it was a delightful experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, with traditional Chinese decor that added to the dining experience.
We started with the dim sum, one type of roll( forgot the name) which packed with fresh vegetables. The accompanying sweet and sour sauce was the perfect complement.
For the main course, we ordered spicy fish and it was a big amount. The potato dish was savory, with perfectly cooked chili. We also tried the Fried Rice, which was flavorful and had a great mix of vegetables and protein. The portion sizes were generous, and we definitely left with leftovers!
