Big Dish

"Big Dish was a recommendation by my sister-in-law for dim sum pastries. This place is a small eatery with at least three tables and a few chairs. One can dine in, but it is mostly take out. When I found out they sold chicken cage pastry (gai loong), it was a must go there and purchase some. While my siblings and I were children, my late mom used to prepare homemade gai loong. Specialties: Assorted dim sum pastries. Menu board is posted on the wall. Pastries are in glass enclosed display cases. Roast duck, roast pig, chicken, congee, noodles, rice, etc. I suggest one gets to Big Dish before noon to purchase the gai loong. That item sells quick."

"Came in to order catering for $500+ of food and put down a $200 deposit. Lady that helped with the catering order was nice and honest/upfront about costs, timing, and quantity. We then proceeded to order dim sum a la carte only to have another lady tell me 1 order of dim sum comes with 4 pieces minimum. She lied and and it’s my bad for not looking at the menu clearly. When I called her out on it she tried to claim she said the standard order is 4 pieces but you can break it up and order 1 piece if you wanted. Their menu clearly shows pricing for 1 piece. This happens a lot at some Chinese to go spots when they want to get rid of their cooked food for the day…they push you to buy more or lie so you’re stuck with more than you want to eat. I’m ok with the pushing but don’t appreciate the lying. Sketchy all around. Their dim sum wasn’t the best or the freshest. Best thing I had was their fried taro puff so maybe their fried food is the way to go. Really hoping I don’t regret ordering catering from here with all the red flags."

"Went here on 09/13/23, ordered the Cheung fun (shrimp noodle) it was ok, not much shrimp, all noodle, other places I've had this had green onions, more shrimp ECT, here it's bland. Ordered pot stickers, I've never had pot stickers that were steamed that were rubbery, crunchy and a very bad consistency, never again, I wanted chicken buns, but they were out (at 130-2pm) got the pork bun, not much filling, I don't think I would come back"

"The dim sum here are decent. Depending on what you order, some are good and some are just ok. The sign says $3.80 for 4 pieces of dumplings. $2.50 for the rice crepe roll. They sell other roasted meats here also. There's a sign for the dim sum line to the right of the door, but when I got here at 9am on Saturday, there was no line at all. The shrimp dumpling, bbq pastry puff, taro puff and the shrimp crepe roll are pretty good. The other stuff has too thick of a dough around them. So they were ok."

"Felt like they took advantage of me as they knew I am a tourist. Rice box combination is cheap (8$) but very basic, very few sauce, very few meat, and I had to ask for my 10$ change. I didn’t feel like it was natural, no excuse and even being rude when she gave me the change.. I was about to give a 20% tip as I usually do but I didn’t feel like a customer."
