  I really don't know why this place has only 3 stars....  So many flavorful dishes are served here.  I have never liked chicken feet even I tired at so many different places till I tried it here.  Surprisingly, it became my favorite dish to eat here now.  
  
  Pork shumai, shrimp with rice noodle, all the standard dishes are all great and my favorite drippy soft egg york bun....  ohhh.... so good!!
  
  Yes, I will be back for sure! XD

  It was prayer day and my mom wanted to try the dim sum here.
  
  We first ordered a pound of pork, which took awhile because there was only one butcher in sight.  When he ended up weighing it, it was basically two pounds and cost maybe $50 plus, which I think was pretty pricey. I told her to tell them she just wanted a pound, but she just let it go.
  
  After we got that, we walked over to the front counter and asked the lady for an order sheet. We only ended up ordering three dishes - rice noodle with shrimp, shumai, and har gow. Although we just ordered those three dishes, it took like 20 minutes. My mom was feeling a bit annoyed that it was taking so long when we ordered so little.
  
  My mom did say that the shumai here was a good size and tasted better than another place she had before. I don't know about the other two orders since neither of us tried it. However, when we both tried the pork, we agreed that it didn't taste good.

  Chinese BBQ take out ... got to love the duck, center cut crispy skin pork and bbq pork.
  
  Eating in, not bad either; dim sum lunch

  I love their roasted duck and roasted pork. Too bad their chicken had to be on special order. I really wanted their chicken. It's super delicious. Everything was good. Except for the beef dish. That wasn't so appealing. Everything I ordered was very yummy! The watercress soup was a healthy choice. It had a hint of ginger flavor. Ginger helps with blood flow which gives you better health. Everything was fresh. Service was good. A word of advice...Only ask for things from your waiter. If the person is not your designated waiter, they will not service you...even though they say they will do it. Lol

  I was here once over 10 years ago, but I finally took my family here and they absolutely loved it! The food came out pretty fast and the one thing I loved was the rice noodles! They were made to order and I can tell that they just made it super fresh. I can just imagine someone being in charge or making the rice noodles! yum Yum.
