"I should have known when we arrived for lunch on Easter Sunday and it wasn't busy. I was excited to have another option rather than driving downtown and waiting for an hour but the whole meal was a disappointment. The service was the worst, one of the items we ordered never arrived, the waiter was never around and did I mention it wasn't busy. When we ordered dessert the ice cream came with no spoons and then we had to wait to flag someone down for spoons. The food was okay but not any better than Empress Pavilion but probably twice the price. The kids were VERY disappointed there were no carts, I should have checked, this also meant there were limited choices on the menu."

"It's a fun dining experience. It's hard to find dim sum served at night, so it's a unique restaurant in the neighborhood. We love the food. It's too easy to over order though. Everything sounds so delicious. The service could have been a little better but we had a good time anyway."

"Surprisingly good. Much more convenient than shlepping downtown to have carts rolled by and numerous dishes sitting on table getting cold. The decor blows away any dim sum house in town. Brought food dishes out as each finished."
