Past tanks filled with shrimp in various sizes, crabs, lobsters and more, the muted dining room reverberates with an enthusiastic clientele of neighborhood Chinese families and destination-diners from elsewhere in the city. The efficient waitstaff speak little English, so non-Cantonese speakers must point to the photo menu and direct any special requests to the brusque host. Fresh-killed Cantonese shellfish is the specialty of the house, although there are copious other options. A chewy, savory jellyfish salad with pickles is a terrific starter, and so are huge steamed oysters, served in the…

Quite Terrible

by xlove2eatx

I don't understand the good reviews - after reading the good reviews, I tried it this past weekend. (1) the place is too small for carts to be pushed around which is part of the dim sum experience - rather, waitresses walk around ONCE IN A WHILE with trays of cold food; (2) food was greasier than other dim sum places and simply was not tasty; (3) my friend got sick after we ate here. There are so many other authentic dim sum places in chinatown I will definitely not be returning to this one.

  • Pros: English speaking servers
  • Cons: overpriced, greasy, cold food, not much variety

Great selection - if you've got the time.

by Joleensta

We loved the food here - but had to wait for our favoritates to come out again. I've been to many large banquet style dim sum places that had a great hustle/bustle about them but awful food. This place is smaller with a more intimate feeling. As we sat down there seemed to be a rush of variety and great tasting choices on the carts that rolled by. Then there seemed to a long pause of nothing...and then carts came again but with none of our earlier favorites but lots of other choices. Would definitely recommend and would go again!!

This is the best Dim Sum I've had in NY so far. They have a wide variety and and we didn't spend that much money.
