   This was our first time to eat Dim Sum at Lao Sze Chuan. Roin was our server and did a great job of providing recommendations. Roin recommended Pan Fried Pork Mini Bun, Stuffed Eggplant and Shrimp & Chive Dumpling - they were excellent. We also tried the Scallion Pancake, Steamed Spare Ribs & Lamb Stew - they were tasty but not as memorable as Roin's recommendations. The Lao Lychee cocktail was also very good! Looking forward to our next visit!

   The service was not coordinated. We ordered appetizers and the main course came at the same time. We sent back the food until we finished the apps. They brought back the food before we were finished. We didn’t see a server for some time. Luckily we weren’t in a rush but they never asked us about dessert. I don’t think we would have wanted it but they never asked.

   I was honestly really excited about eating here. The appetizers specifically the soup dumplings were amazing, but the main course meals were a 3/10 at best. They lacked flavor and it felt like something was missing. My colleague and I got two chicken dishes and it was just chicken smothered in some type of oil with not much flavor.

   The food was fantastic & the service was very good! The only reason the service got 4/5 stars is because it took a while for the waiter to bring us our check. We sat there for about 15-20 minutes waiting & then I called him over. He was otherwise a great waiter. We always have an awesome experience at this restaurant!

   Server was excellent (“R”). Front of house was not interested in making a positive impression with customers. Bar staff seemed to have friends/co-workers to hang out. Dim sum was fair. All dishes were really too oily. Lo mein noodles are a nice portion. Phoenix bun was not edible. Gritty and very sweet.

   We didn’t try the dimsum. We went straight to the entrees which were all savory.

   Very nice dinner. Our waitress was great! Added bonus - Tiger came to say hi ! He had remembered us and that was so sweet.

   We were upgraded to a private room which was nice for our party of 19 people. However, we were only given 1 server and she had NO help and they told us that we had only 2 hours in the room. I will never bring a large party there again. Food was good but drinks too high. Best time to go is for happy hour ONLY.

    We had a wonderful Sunday evening dinner. Our server was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable and made several great suggestions. The food was delicious and plentiful-3 of the 4 of us took home boxes. This was our 2nd visit and we’ll definitely be back!
