Thank you, DAO for such a great night out. Food-amazing (best dim sum in the city). Service-outstanding. We were a party of 8 and our server was impeccable! Not a single hiccup (not that that would’ve mattered) and was very helpful when deciding what to order. Thanks again for an enjoyable evening out! By the way-best Peking Duck we’ve ever had.

Excellent dim sum. Not crowded - great prices for NYC. Pork and shrimp shumai top of the list. Only critique: no NA beer. Beer is best drink with dim sum and some folks don’t like alcohol.

As a solo diner, I’m so grateful to find a dim sum sampler where I can taste assorted dumplings without having to over order. These dumplings are delicious, creative and beautifully served. I will definitely return!

The food is amazing here! Don’t forget to try the pork dumplings and the pork soup dumplings. And if you don’t like pork, no worries as there are plenty of delicious options! Can’t wait to go back!

Every dish was very good to great from the egg drop soup to lobster. Compalints would be focused on portion. 88.00 for one duck is a bit much even for nyc. Lobster as well. But there was some remarkably excited dishes. Service was friendly and efficient. Would definitely go again

This restaurant was a disappointing experience. The food was stale, oily, and had a terrible taste. I couldn't even finish my meal and left hungry. I question the authenticity of the 4.7 rating. A close friend recommended this place, but it was so bad that I never want to return. The food was simply awful.
