This restaurant has been here for quite some time. I used to stop by for lunch on my way back to my then office in Ontario (10 years ago?). And the last time we dined in as a family was ...I can't even remember. Fast forward to tonight. My mom picked this restaurant for a family dinner because it's sorta in the middle between Chino and Hacienda Heights. Fair distance for family members to travel. We were seated right away as it was not busy. It's a nice-ish family style restaurant. I noticed the fish tanks that lined the wall are no longer there. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful with suggestions and we felt well tended to. We ordered 7 dishes and all but one came out quick from the kitchen. Crab Meat Fish Maw Soup (no pic) - served with hearty portions of crab and fish maw. I like this with a couple of dashes of white pepper and red vinegar. Pan Fried Green Beans (pic) - this was a hit. Very well seasoned and prepared. Chinese Broccoli w/dried salted fish (pic) - very tasty and waitress' recommendation. The way the broccoli was cut made it difficult to eat. Szechuan Style Shredded Pork (pic) - good combination of pork, bamboo and veggies. Thought it would be spicy but it's not, not even a little bit. Squid with Black Bean Sauce (pic) - I like to order this wherever/whenever I see it. It was good. Next time I'll ask them to make it spicy. Fried Whole Fish (pic) - I haven't had deep fried sole in years. This used to be one of my favorite fish dishes growing up. This fish was crunchy, delicious and our waitress' recommendation. German Pork Knuckle (no pic) - this was the last dish to come out and it too was a hit. It was served cut up with a sweet sauce and pickled ginger. Although the pinkish-red meat was off putting at first, we all took our portions and enjoyed every bit of it. The skin was browned perfectly and very crispy. The knuckle (pork leg) was enough for 6 people to share. Try this dish. Mango pudding was served at the end of our meal. This was a positive experience for us and we are already thinking about when to return.

Extremely bad place to order to go Especially when paying with either credit card or debit card Staff will trick you to add a tip to your total at minimum 15% Very bad practice especially for senior citizens

The food is amazing. They used to be at a different location and reopened here now. Same setup as old times! Service is good for me! No complaints. Complimentary rice when you order food and its reasonably priced. One dish, with rice and tea ($2 per person unless you opt out) under $15! I would come back again. Writing this review makes me hungry again!

Tasty food!! Really one of the best dim sum lunches I've had. Reasonably priced, prompt service, easy parking. Pork buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, beef dumplings were sooo good!! I highly recommend.

This location might be new to me but the establishment brings back happy memories. I believe it is the same owner from the Rowland Location that I used to go to when I was still in High School. The food is great, I like the bun in the picture a lot. The service is also quick and efficient. They have a dimsum cart.They have a large parking space. The interior is kind of small for a dimsum place.The sweet and sour pork isn't as good as it used to be but I will definidefinitely be back to try more.Stay tuned, people of Yelp!

This place is literally right off the freeway. It's conveniently located at a restaurant row. We are three hungry guys who were quite disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. We came for the dim sum. Nothing tasted like authentic Chinese dim sum. We had steam Cha siu bao, egg tarts, siu Mai, spare ribs, fried cha siu pastry, meatballs and some kind of fry football. The only 2 dishes that was taste worthy were egg tarts and siu Mai. The rest were a disappointment. It didn't taste like they should. Prices are not reasonable either. The service was ok. Whenever the server tried to sell us a dish and we said no thank you politely, she became mean about it. There are other dim sum places within a few miles from there before considering to eat here.

I've been here a couple times before coming here again for a Chinese New Year dinner with my family. I was looking forward to enjoy my dinner here, however, there wasn't really much to enjoy except for the place being nice. Service this time around was sloppy. Don't think the servers really wanted to make customers have a good experience for Chinese New Year here. They simply just make good money because people come here for the perfect time. The managers/servers did not do a great job seating us, but I can let this pass. It was just unwise for the manager to tell us we were going to need to leave at a certain time because of reservations, which definitely wasn't going to happen because they were late with our food. In addition to that, they did not cook the food well. A lot of the dishes lacked flavor and seemed to be rushed. To their defense, they did seem to have a lot of take out orders, but they should have communicated with us more clearly. Only thing that stood out today was the place, still was decorated nicely.

I would rate this more at 3.5 than a 3. The food here is authentic Chinese and good, but it the best, NO!!! They are definitely understaffed and this plays a big deal in how responsive they are. When we came in, they were has some servers pushing around the Din Sum cart and food runners. So our teas and waters were not filled on a timely manner. I basically gave up trying to flag someone down as they were all so busy running around. The restaurant is on the small side and on the tight side. They do have their own parking lot and that can also fill up, but there were a few spots opened when we got there. The food was good, but lacked the wok hay to the fried rice and chow mein. Overall, I would rather eat at another place for better food. Though, if I ever find myself in this area and craving Chinese food, then I would consider coming here.

I ordered over the phone and the food was ready in 20 minutes. The parking lot was empty so we didn't have issues finding a space. When we entered, our order was ready, the food was packed expertly and the employees were courteous and efficient.The calamari was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The salted fish chicken fried rice was not greasy at all. They also were generous with the serving. The clams in ginger scallion sauce was slightly more expensive but there was so much of it. The half duck was lovely - it is a family favorite.We are eating the food right now and despite how full we are, we are contemplating when we are coming back. We'll probably try their dimsum upon our return. So excited!I'll post photos next time. We were famished when we got home so we forgot to take pictures!

Driving thru Diamond Bar during lunch, decided to stop in for some dim sum and noodles. Yummy! We ordered the pork Shumai, shrimp har gaw, beef meatballs, crispy noodles w/chicken and the war wonton soup. Dim sum was good, the noodles and the soup were the stars! Service was quick and courteous.
