"We tried this restaurant after attending a church service nearby We ordered: TRUFFLE SHRIMP sio mai. I didn't taste much the truffle, looked dry. But the shrimps were fresh and medium size. The taste was average, 3/5 FRIED PORK DUMPLINGS. Mildly flavored that my friend didn't finish it. 2/5 DUCK SPRING ROLLS. Crispy wrapper but lacking in umami taste. 2/5 SHRIMP DUMPLINGS have fresh medium sized shrimps. This was what we enjoyed. Tho a little bland, the sauce of soy and vinegar carried the weight to perk up your appetite. 4/5 PEA SHOOTS vegs. They were fresh but had some hard stems. We liked it so much that we weren't able to touch the rice, 4/5 The tea was mild, too We had 2 glasses of Chardonay that made our lunch complete. We will come back to trynotyer dishes"

"Last night, after working all weekend, based on the positive reviews I read for this restaurant, I got takeout for dinner. I finally plated my takeout Kung Pao Shrimp and Cold Noodles with Sesame paste, which was a splurge at over $40 with a tip, (though I picked it up), that I really couldn’t afford. The shrimp dish was mostly peanuts, water chestnuts and chilies with SOME shrimp. The flavor wasn’t bad, but unexceptional, I ended up picking out all the shrimp and throwing the remainder away. The noodles were plain tasteless, bland. I had requested no utensils, but they also didn’t put any extra packets of soy sauce, duck sauce, and mustard which would’ve made up for the lack of flavor. Very disappointing. If I haven’t been so tired, I would’ve walked the four blocks and taken the food back."

"Very delicious dim sum is served here. Dishes are not overpowered by one spice or garlic but are well balanced. Their portions are are generous as well."

"High quality, creative ingredients make for high quality, memorable food! We were extremely happy with our meal here. Hot and Sour Soup had a kick and the beech mushrooms were an interesting touch. The Tiny Dumplings are TINY—they don’t mess around with the dish naming there. The citrusy side sauce was also a unique addition. The Three Cup Chicken was perfectly cooked and the choice of chicken thighs made the whole dish. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was, as my husband put it, “the best I’ve ever had, I think, let me have one more bite…” The sauce on this one was a bit thick and too opaque in my opinion, but the longgan and the pineapple were a hit. I wouldn’t have served it on iceberg lettuce with tomatoes, but I honestly can’t think of an alternative to suggest that simultaneously preserves the distinctiveness and authenticity of the dish, so I guess they win. The service was well done. They catered to us as a family, added a complementary mango sorbet, and supplied kids utensils and chopstick helpers which were a hit. We could have used more water refills and had a hard time flagging for the check even with two crying tired kids (should be obvious that we’re trying to get out of there) but those are easily improved. A novelty place with original takes on classic dishes!"

"Beautiful stunning interior flourished with red lanterns and traditional paintings to start off. The dried beef dish was $33 which was certainly expensive but extrmely tasty and had a great texture. The fried rice was flawless and the dim sum dumplings were tasty. There was sauce on the side and it was very filling. Highly reccommend this place for any meal or occasion!"
