Came in for lunch while I was in the area and really enjoyed it. Split some dim sum items and also nabbed a wonton soup. Shrimp dumplings, beef rice noodles, sticky rice with pork, soup dumplings, short ribs with black pepper sauce, and shrimp with pea shoot dumplings. Everything was great. I was craving a good shrimp dumpling and all of the fillings that had shrimp were spot on for me. I'm even pretty sure the wontons were a pork/shrimp mix. Prices aren't bad, maybe a little mid-to-high, but food was really delicious.

This is my old review but somehow the link on map changed.
I came here very often for authentic dim sum with very fair prices when I lived nearby years ago. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants the authentic dim sum.
Just a reminder: it’s less busier if you dine during weekdays instead of weekends.
Parking is free if you park on the streets by the library building, which is at the triangle block, see my marks on the attached screenshot.

Best dimsum spot in the entire tri-state area. We are from Somerville, and we have been going there for dimsum for the past 8 years. We had recommended them to all of Chinese and American friends, and now it is THE dimsum spot for all our dimsum gatherings. Every single item they serve is good - can’t go wrong.

Authentic, Delicious food. Unexpected flavors and combinations that surprise you in the best possible way. It makes you realize that the food we accept as typical Chinese food may not be telling us the whole story. Dim Sum is a delight of choices, dumplings galore, rice noodles, little meat dishes. Would have liked some veggie options as well. Crowded midday then thins out. Delightful food!

This place NEVER disappoints. We recently moved to NJ from NYC and this is where we come to get our dim sum fix! A must! You can call an order your dim sum and take home or dine here. Very delicious and authentic.

Nice place for Cantonese food experience. The food is really good and they have a great selection. Make sure you have an idea of what type of food you want to have if not is better to ask for details because you can easily pick the wrong thing and skew your experience. Another good thing is that you can bring your own drink. A red wine is always well serve to properly digest, but once again depending of your choices.

Great local dimsum. Excellent seafood (Cantonese style) dishes as well. Street Parking is limited so plan accordingly. We usually park at the public lot nearby.

Ancestors excellent restaurant has, very unfortunately, gone down hill. The wonton. Soup was too salty and the hot and sour soup too sour. Steamed dumplings were blank and th spring roll too oily. The one bright spot were the excellent shrimp dumplings.
