This was recommended to me recently. The person who recommended it might be the smartest person ever. I ordered pork shumai, pan-seared chef dumplings, and lobster and shrimp steamed dumplings. I ate the shumai first and fell in love. They're huge first of all and full of meat. Honestly I could have just ordered these and been content. The chef dumplings were equally as good. I devoured the two orders and then realized my mistake. I saved the lobster dumplings for last and I was damn near full. I managed to eat one and, surprise, it was phenomenal. Mental note: eat the most expensive dumplings first. Or, next time load up on shumai. Everything was wonderful but that shumai will be what brings me back.

Made a reservation for Lunar New Year, place filled up by the time it hit 12:30 with a line of people waiting for a table. Jasmine Tea was floral and flavorful. Our favorite dishes were the soup dumplings, snow pea leaves ($20 but worth it), crispy sesame balls with bean paste, duck bao. Fast and super tasty. Shrimp dumplings were light and glassy, chicken dumplings had a good amount of white pepper flavor, they were just "ok" compared to our top four. Took off a star because got turnip cake and wonton w noodles, bought for the auspiciousness of the day, weren't great and wouldn't do them again. Turnip cake was a bit mushy for my taste and wonton soup had no flavor (though the wontons were good and tasty).Will have to come back to try some of their traditional large format dishes!

It's been 2 years since I first came to this place for a quick take out of roast duck and roast pork and I was disappointed at them. I want to give this place another try as it was lunar new year and I didn't want to drive down to Chinatown. I only came here for dim sum really but also ordered a main entree noodle dish that was written on the menu by the waiter but never came, which was fine because I had many dish out and we were all full. There was also 2 item I order that did not come out, but I did get the correct check.This place is probably run by people from Hong Kong, they play Cantonese music, speak Cantonese. If someone isn't getting the service they expect it's probably a cultural experience, the place looks fine but I am there for food not the look. I ordered a lot of stuff as you can see from the photo, scallion pancake is crispy and good, the bean curd skin roll is full of flavor, crispy fried dumplings is good and it was my wife first time trying it and she loved it. Some of those food are not as hot it's probably I went there late. The stick rice lotus leaf is fine but I had better, mango pudding was my daughter flavorite. The sesame ball with red bean paste used too little red bean paste, the Peking duck sandwich is good, but there was a piece of meat that I bite into it that was attached to a small piece of bone, I am used to eat food with bone so if this happen to someone they will complain. Egg tart was just ok, the shrimp ball is ok because I had better one in Chinatown. The dumpling was also ok. I haven't tried the chicken feet or other usual HK dim sum so maybe next time, would I go back? Yes only for the one dim sum that I know we like.

Started with shu mai, and it was top-notch, delicious stuff. Shrimp dumplings had a slightly thicker skin, but the insides made up for it. Now, the egg custard bun left me with a curious numbness, which was a bit unexpected--might be something to check if you have allergies.Radish cake and chicken feet were definite winners, especially if you're a fan. However, the pork soup dumplings fell short as the soup decided to make a break for it. A bit disappointing.On the service front, tea took a bit too long to make its grand entrance. Despite three inquiries, it only arrived after reminding two more times. Seating, on the other hand, was a bit of a waiting game, even with the front not bustling.Dim sum enthusiasts, give it a shot!

I came here with my family. A party of 4. When you walk in you are greeted by a displace case of baked goods. The atmosphere is great for date night and family.We ordered around 10 dim sum and a stir fry dish from the kitchen. The food came out in good time. They came out hot but they got cold very fast. We think it's because it's so cold in the restaurant. The servers were attentive and polite. They all wore masks

I'm very picky about my dim sum having grown up with great Chinese options & Chinatown not too far away, and I have only ever had great experiences at M And M! The food is delicious & hits the spot every time. Definitely go with a big group to maximize trying as many things as possible. Hot tea is served right away while you peruse the menu. We got several dumplings (the pork soup dumplings were packed with flavor & the chicken dumplings were surprisingly spicy), scallion pancake (perfect for dipping in leftover sauces), spare ribs with garlic sauce (flavorful albeit fatty), Peking duck buns (always a hit), snow pea leaves in garlic (good to have a veggie), salt & pepper squid (the crispy shallots were my favorite part of this dish), chicken & ginger congee (comfort food to the max), & spicy cucumbers (crazy good flavor without being very spicy). The cucumbers were my surprising favorite part of the meal! My only complaint is that I wish the table had a lazy susan to more easily share all the dishes, but that's so minor compared to the quality of the food. At least we had a round table which made sharing & conversation easy! The service (and Kwok) was fantastic! He was funny, quick, & friendly. I already can't wait to go back!Food: ADrinks: BService: B+Ambiance: B-

This time we tried the seafood tofu clay pot and the chengdu spicy chicken. The clay pot is really good. Lots of squid. The taste is just right! The chicken dish was okay. Very mild spicy. We also ordered the rice noodle wrap - one of the dim sums. It was really good with quite large shrimps.The staff were pretty nice there.

We dropped in for an early Monday dinner a week or so ago. We were the only eat-in diners although there were a couple of take out orders. I'm not sure if it was an off night or what but in short, we liked the food, but the service was awkward. The hostess was very abrupt and not welcoming. Considering every table was empty and it was chilly. we had a bit of a time convincing her that we did not want a table up against the window. The waiter did not offer to explain how things worked and basically stared at us as we tried to figure out what to order and through a good part of our meal. The older woman who brought food from the kitchen was warm and friendly as she brought dishes out. Everything we ordered was generally well prepared. The bao was not particularly flavorful and the ratio of filling to dough was smaller than I would have liked. We loved the squid tentacles and the various fried and steamed dumplings. The durian party was a sweet dessert that most of us enjoyed although durian is one of those "acquired" tastes. I intend to go again and hopefully the front side of the house gets better Decor is a bit stark. There was obviously a water problem in the lobby area on that night. Come for the food or get takeout.

We've been here to this restaurant twice for their dim sum and it's probably the best dim sum you'll get outside of Chinatown. The food is ordered off a menu (not a cart style), which is the normal these days post-COVID. The quality of the dim sum offerings were pretty good and have the typical offerings you'd expect - pork shiu mai, har gow, bbq pork bun, shrimp wrapped in rice noodles, egg tarts, etc. The dishes that aren't dim sum, such as some of the stir-fried vegetables or seafood options, are also worth ordering. Out of my group of 6 people that came, and we ordered a lot of food, it ended up being $27 per person after tax and tip. Quick reasonable for what we got for sure. The location also has a parking lot and is much more convenient than having to park in Chinatown. Overall, this is a place I've bookmarked for dim sum.

Like always amazing food! It's one of the best restaurants around the Chester county: I believe it's better than eating at any restaurant in Chinatown without having to travel in to the city
