Didn't realize they opened at 5pm... arrived at 4pm. Killed some time and came back at 5:10 and they we 30% full. Understand why after I started eating. The Dim Sum was delicious. We drove 45 minutes to dine here and it was worth the ride. Service was excellent. Had 3 different people ask me what I wanted to drink within minutes of arriving- was refreshing to see the staff genuinely interested is us. Will definitely be back!

What an absolute delight. If you’re even the least bit adventurous with food, please do yourself a favor and experience the weekend dim sum offerings. They have dim sum all week but have more options on weekends.
Get there early! They open at 10 (one weekends) but will likely let you in a little early. It’ll fill up quickly so get there early and grab a table before the rush.
Try everything! Don’t be afraid. Horse stomach? Try it! It was shockingly savory and tasty. Chicken feet? I think they were called phoenix feet or something. Anyway, I've never had chicken feet even though they're part of a lot of other cultures' food, but I'm so happy I tried them here. They were delicious. The pot stickers, the custard cream buns (weekends only), pork and shrimp dumplings, and so many other things we tried were just incredible.
If you've never done a dim sum dining experience, this is a great one. Again, arrive early. And, for the best experience possible, go in without any restraints. I just kept saying yes to all the delicious dishes on the several carts circulating the dining room. Was my bill higher than expected? Well, yes. But it was so worth it!
Highly recommend it. Bring some friends. Have a good time. And enjoy!

I have been looking for a real dim sum and have seen so many recommendation about this restaurant so we gave it a try. They didn’t disappoint me. They have a wide variety of selection. We had beef tendon ( one of my favorite) beef tripe (not my fave though. It was on the chewy side), pork and shrimp dumplings ( soooo delicious reminds me of home), their shrimp cilantro was on the bland side but dipping it in soy and their chili garlic paste was okay, shrimp balls was awesome, chicken lo mien was also good but on the oily side. I need to go back to try more ..

Great Chinese restaurant. They offer several Chinese dishes, Vietnamese and Dim Sum. We came specifically for the dim sum. We tried a wide range of options and were not disappointed. All of them were very tasty.

Food was pretty good but service was extremely slow. Once the food is served, the waiters never come back to you. Also they forgot to bring one of our dish out until we were almost done with our meal.

I went with my family on a Sunday so I figured it would be pretty busy, but it seems this restaurant cannot function properly during a busy rush. It did start off nice. The dim sum we tried were good, but the customer service is horrible. We asked literally three times for napkins. Twice to our server and once to another lady. They must have a thing against giving customers more than one napkin. Also, if you order food here just plan to wait over an hour to receive it. After awhile, a young girl brought us another Chinese broccoli dish that we already received then she asked if she received our seafood fried rice dish and chow fun which we did not. So she tells our server and 30 minutes later comes the fried rice. It was extremely salty. After waiting another 30 minutes for the chow fun that never came, we just decided to leave.
To top it off, my mom ate her left over dim sum and found a piece of GLASS inside!! Thankfully she did not swallow it! In the pictures, you will see a piece of glass and the dim sum it was in. I know it's hard to prove in the pictures and since we brought it home, but this is not something I would lie about. I'm trying to warn others to chew carefully if you plan on eating here!
Overall if you couldn't tell, we had a horrible experience!

I went here because the reviews were good and I was very disappointed. Let me lead with the good. The main dishes we got (lo mein and noodle soup) were good but what attracted us to this restaurant was the fact I searched for Dim Sum places near me and this popped up as being the highest rated one in the area. I will just be straight forward if you're looking for a good Dim Sum look elsewhere. The water also had a salty taste to it. The service itself was subpar so overall I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
