I ordered take-out and was disappointed. I am allergic to red meat and had asked if there where any red meat within the dishes. The waiter/host said that the ingredients are listed on the menu. When I arrived home, I plated the food, and I noticed shavings of pork or beef on the Chinese broccoli and salted fish. I never received the salted fish, and the eggs were not fresh.
The dim sum here is the cleanest and least oily I've ever had. The food does take a little time to arrive since you mark down the items you want, and it's not the carts-style. The food is not greasy and not overly salted. Some would say it tastes plain, but they somehow made it flavourful without all the extra salt and grease. They also don't seem to use garlic in the dishes you would always find garlic in all other dim sum restaurants. Now I love garlic, but they were able to make the dim sum so good without it. Dishes like steamed tripe, beef and pork short ribs, etc. Their siumai however, isn't the greatest, it is too plain. The taste of siumai practically lives on the fat that is put in it, so the siu mai here, although very clean tasting, isn't very flavourful. The hargow is one of the best I've had in recent memory. Service is pretty good. Since it is a very small place, you get what you ask for almost immediately. No women work here though, which is odd considering you mainly see women in other dim sum restaurants. I guess it's because it's family-owned? It's not a bad thing, just something I noticed. Maybe it was just that day we went. CON: The variety here isn't great. They were missing staples like egg tarts and mango pudding. Dim Sum without egg tarts? The atmosphere here is not great either. It's almost soulless feeling inside. Not dirty, just not a lively place you would usually feel in other dim sum restaurants. I think maybe because it wasn't really packed. The prices aren't cheap either, but somewhat reasonable.
Went to Dim Sum New years morning at 11:00 the restaurant was 1/4 full by 11:45 it was lined up outside. Food was very good and portion sizes were good. Staff was very friendly and smiling. Food came very quick and we ate a lot total bill was $49.95 total for 4 of us. I will be back again without a doubt.
Our family always love the crab dish. I can't remember what it is called but it's crab with black bean sauce with ground pork and small shrimps. Very delicious. The waiting is quite long for the orders to come out. On the weekend sometimes we need to wait to be seated as the restaurant is always full.
A nice little family owned place. They have great dim sum at lunch-time, although it can get very busy.
