Reviews
However, the server said it was too late to switch because my water had already been poured into a red solo cup. I accepted that and made it clear I wouldn’t be ordering anything further. We also asked for chili oil but never received it—maybe I need to spend $30 for extras like that?
The server kept trying to get me to buy more, even though I knew my order was over $15. When the bill came, it was $21. I asked about the $15 minimum charge she mentioned earlier, and she said it was okay but had previously suggested my order was under $15. Spending more money wasn’t the issue—I just wish she had been honest about the situation.
I had planned to order more food to take home for dinner but decided against it after this experience.
Don’t be afraid if you’re a newbie. They’ll help you through if you’re a first timer or new to this style of dining.
Hong Suey tofu – very good fragrant flavor, crunchy peas, tofu well fried, mushrooms are fresh. Sauce is tasty with a slight garlicky flavor.
Eggplant – slightly seared and very nice texture. Firm and succulent. The sauce has a nice flavor with a hint of Chinese 5-spice powder, and a slight tangy tinge…almost orange, slightly sweet, slightly salty. Great balance of taste!
The chicken feet were very well prepared. It was tasty and fragrant. Not too sweet, neither too salty. The meat was nice and cooked. The marinate was very pleasant to the palate. It certainly is better than the quality we had gotten from several different restaurants in Chicago’s Chinatown and Chinatown Square.
To prove that we were really there, I would upload three pics with this rating post. So, what happened to us then? That was our first visit. We ordered a lot as we really wanted to eat DimSum. The waiter forgot one last dish after we finished what we had at our table. It probably had been 40 mins from the first entree was delivered. While we were eating, we heard she said they’re going to close for the day. So, we accelerated and tried avoiding of delaying her schedule. I directly went to the counter to pay( also tried to accelerate the process and avoid of wasting her time) and told her we found one entree was not delivered. So, I told the waiter(also she was also the cashier) you don’t need to give it to us since we were so full, and ask her remove the item from the check.
She argued that “ oh this one is ready. I will bring it to you.” At the moment, when she said so, my husband was packing the leftover.
I argued with her that we had been waiting for the last one entree for more than 15mins. You didn’t come and check. Even it’s me to tell you we need to have boxes for packing the leftover and the cheque. You also didn’t say there is one more.
While we were having lunch there, they were selling raw pork meats just next to the counter.
[Summary]
1. This is a family owned business. The problem won’t easily be solved.
2. The food is not authentic and not good and not fresh based on my experience in trying multiple Dim Sum restaurants cross Mia-west, California, Toronto, as well as Hong Kong.
3. The service is also very rude according to the above experience.
Service wasn’t great. Prices were lower I think.
It is not OK to have a mandatory 18% tip in dim sum and 15% a la carte. Tip is optional not mandatory especially is you are 4 or less people! I lowered to 2 stars as the food wasn’t great this time. We will probably not come back as we were disappointed compared to last time. We felt they had less options for dim sum.

I am not an expert on Cantonese food but it was good, we liked it and was warm. We ordered the dim sum and everything was good. No complaints. They guy was super friendly and explained what was that we orded. We asked him two pick 3 for us and his choices were really good. Service was quick and prices fair for the dim sum dishes.
Just check the tip is not charged already because I read that in the sheets.
Two things that could improve:
1. The oily spicy sauce was not really spicy.
2. Prices should be updated on the dim sum sheets to show their current price. Especially for those who like to make drama over a dollar or 2.
On another note, my wife and I wont be needing chapstick for the winter since the food left our lips greasy as hell.
