Very good :Shrimp har gow ,Bbq spare ribs ,Pork shiu mai, Pan fried leek bun, STeamed bean curd. Service friendly. kitchen slow and food came out inconsistently and very late. Parking is difficult.

Had dinner here and they were nice. I guess the only not so nice employees are during lunch time. Don't get their honey ginger chicken, not good. And honey walnut shrimp, not too amazed.

Try their tofu dessert. The sugar syrup is so gingery and delicious! The dumplings are a little dried though. Don't order the soup dumplings ( xiao long bao ). They are just awful.

On the weekends its best to get there early or you'll have to wait. Kind of hard with all the dim sum carts passing by.
