"Not the best restaurant in Bay Area but the best dim sum restaurant in Chinatown. Good foods but a bit oily. Average service, slow service, lack of staffs. Very busy during morning and lunch time. Prices are reasonable. To be honest, sadly not much good dim sum choice in Chinatown."

"My go to sim sum spot since its generally pretty tasty, parking is easy and the restaurant is close by home"

"“The soup of the day” must try in here. Best soup ever. We finish our dinner here with $86, we gave the waitress $100 but she didn’t get back the money, when I asked her then she told that the tip money, i didn’t feel happy because she keep it and didn’t say to us. Because we’re tourists so she didn’t serve us like citizen in there."

"Michelin dim sum spot in Chinatown. Came here for dim sum with a couple of other friends. They give you a ticket and will call your number once your table is ready. It took approximately 20 minutes for us to get a spot on a Sunday morning around 11:30am. Indoor dining only. You order through a paper menu. There is tea service. Credit cards accepted. It is good for big groups but the space is cramped. They have various dumpling combos where the dumplings look like cute animals. The baked BBQ pork buns were my favorite. The exterior is different from the typical honey covered soft buns, as it was a little crunchier, but it was still very pillowy. The shrimp rice noodles were also another standout. They have heftier dishes available if you won’t want to do just dim sum."

"Very good dim sum!! We read other reviews to arrive before 11am so we got there around 10:45 on Sunday and there were only few tables open. We tried lots of dumplings but our favorite was soup dumplings! It’s so fresh and tons of soup in the dumplings. Price was fair too. Highly recommend!"
