My server was really nice and lots of asians when I went, so that's a plus. I also needed a plug for my computer while I ate and my table had one on the wall yay. The was plentiful for lunch. I hope to return and try their dim sum.menu

One of the worst dim sum I've had. For a party of two, it cost $60 for disappointingly bland and poorly cooked food that took a while to come out (I'm no chef but I could make this better). Came in at 11ish on a Monday, it was pretty empty. Here's what we had:- rice paper beef & shrimp: this is usually my favorite dim sum dish, but they messed it up horribly here. The rice paper was way too thick (all flour), and the meat inside had no flavor whatsoever. They also skimped on the sweet soy sauce that would have helped made it less bland. - scallop har gow: they filled it with shrimp, not scallops, but still charged the premium price- sui mai: tasted like a tendon meatball covered in egg wrap - steamed black bean pork ribs: fatty and a bit tasteless- chicken feet: this was probably the only decent dish, taste wise. Coloring was a bit off though- fried meat dumpling (unsure of the English name): usually my husband's go to, but they mixed those fried brined shrimp in it which made it too pungent - egg tarts: sadly, too sweetMaybe people come for the non-dim sum dishes? Either way, we will not be back. Lastly: the cups were stained and we saw big bags of raw ground meat sitting by the front window at room temp, so I'm praying we don't get food poisoning later...

Service:Was looking for a dim sum place in SD and came across this place. Glad we came bc the food and service was amazing! We came on Saturday a little after 11am when they opened and we got sat right away. Came in with a group of 4 and the servers were all so kind and attentive! 10/10 service, the ladies made our experience 10x better. They made sure we got everything we wanted and always checked up on us. Food:Everything we ordered was very good! My favorites were the shu mai, XLB, shrimp rice noodle roll, walnut shrimp and chicken feet. Best dim sum that I've tried in SD so far. Ambiance:Very calm and inviting environment. Surprisingly not that busy for a Saturday! Would definitely come back

Came to lunch after work on a weekday afternoon and not a customer eating in the restaurant at the time. I sat at the table of my choice and ordered soy sauce noodles with bean sprouts and green onions. The portion was massive and arrived in a matter of minutes. Then my dim sum order of turnip cake, shu mai and baked pork buns arrived right after. Everything was as I anticipated. The service was friendly and the food tasty and served fast. My water was refilled upon being empty. As I finished my lunch other senior patrons have now occupied a few tables so it took a minute to get my bill. No worries though, I will me back soon for more from my new Chinese takeout and dim sum

3/25/24 - visit here twice a week. I spent $45 for items to go. No one inside. My first time I can take a photograph with no one inside. See the photo. Then see my dishes. Mostly appetizers to go. I ordered 1 pan fried dumpling, a sizzling rice soup, 2 Shiumai and 1 eggplant with shrimp.

The Imperial Duck I had was the best ever. My dining companion did not like his Szechuan Beef and did not eat it. White rice was good and included with entrée. Spring rolls and dumplings were OK. Hot tea in a pot was made with loose tea, not a tea bag.Service was attentive, if not particularly friendly. Typical Chinese service for the non-Chinese.Ambience was austere, almost cafeteria-like. Was not crowded on a Sunday night around 6 pm.Parking is difficult in the large parking lot for this business park with at least 5 Asian restaurants.

An old established Cantonese dimsum restaurant that most SD peeps never heard off, it served solid fresh made to order dimsum at prices thats 25% cheaper than Jasmine or Emerald.We got the rice rolls, sticky rice in lotus leaves, haigow & siumai. None were spectacular but solid by SD standards. Haigow was stuffed with substantial amount of shrimp but needed more seasoning; siumai was dried. Sticky rice was excellent. Rice roll had good fillings, the minced beef was tender & shrimp was good. Once I had Hei Hei rice roll in Vancouver & Yin Jin chang Fen in Bay area, all other rice rolls paled in comparison. 7 items for $49.41 (include tax) was reasonable

This quaint Dim Sum place has all the classics dishes you'd expect at a reasonable price! The portions are solid and the food is decent. However, the place seems a bit understaffed and orders can take a long time to get to your table!
