   Amazingly delicious food. A friend from China recommended this restaurant to us some time ago, and it never disappoints.

   Delicious dim sum with great service and beautiful, elegant ambience. They also have a fair amount of vegetarian options.

   An incredibly disappointing experience. Service was painfully bad but with a smile. The ambiance left a ton to be desired in this stark open room with zero decor and no music. The food was really good, but not enough to make us suffer such a bad experience again, especially at that price. I truly am so disappointed. I've been wanting to try this place out for years and found it to be such a major flop. A few examples of the problems - never recieved the water we requested upon arriving but we were given 3 teas (for a charge) that we didn't want, waited 10 minutes for our server to stop by and she immediately said "ready not ready ok" and quicklky disappeared without giving us a chance to answer, the menu was different than what's on open table or the restaurant's own website (particularly disappointing because we choose this restaurant with certain menu items in mind for our picky girl which turned out to be nonexistent on the real menu), my husband's app and my daughter's entree didn't arrive until 15-20 minutes after our entee arrived )multiple requests for an update were consistently responded to by telling us the kitchen was backed up which seemed to not be the case as our other food and neighboring tables were receiving food at lightening speeds, this place promotes itself as being a dim sum spot but they really only have s few options, I never got a refill on my drink (and she did nod in response when I requested it) and so I was drinkless the last 45 minutes of our experience... I could go on. It was just BAD. We even stopped someone to ask for help and he looked so confused and didn't know and said he'd find someone to help us and we never got any help. Ugh, I could go on and on. The icing on the cake was the mandatory, automatic 18% tip. I get it for large parties but a family of 3? Rude and more than was earned. A pretty disappointing Thanksgiving dinner.

   Don’t say you’re a dim sum restaurant- you aren’t.
