“ True, authentic dim sum with a wide menu of options at fair prices. Worth returning to try more, especially given the variety. Some hit or miss but simply to preferences--can't imagine having a bad meal here. Shrimp crabmeat spinach dumplings were must try--must! Shrimp chive dumplings were a bit oily but to be expected. Takeout was fresh but dim sum is always appreciated most during dine in, especially with others. Appreciated that the restaurant was clean and beautiful decorated in Chinese decoration. ”
“ Great food, great service, extensive menu and very clean, as others have noted. They accommodated me with by adding bok choy to a beef dish that had a tangy flavor. It was really fantastic . Thinking of going back to have again during my long weekend visit to NYC. So happy to have found this gem without having to navigate through Chinatown. ”
“ Consistently outstanding food at very reasonable prices. I've never had a bad dish there but especially love their shrimp shu mai, cold sesame noodles (which have a nice spice level), and the cold scallion cucumbers. The people who run the restaurant are lovely. Well worth a visit. ”
“ I ordered the pork soup dumplings, Shanghainese pan fried buns, and shrimp suimai for takeout on a week night . Everything tastes good, not extraordinary, but the whole order came out to be $31 which was a bit overpriced. I also specifically asked for utensils when I received the order but there were none in the bag. I ended up having to eat everything with my hands . Overall the experience was just okay and I would probably not come back again. ”
“ Came here because of the 4.5 rating (there was others closer but the others only had a 4 star rating.) When I entered the restaurant I was promptly seated + my order was taken swiftly expedited. The restaurant floor is so clean I swear you could eat off of it ! Where I was seated I could watch the 49er game while hearing a soft background music in the background. Everything came to me hot & fresh. The taste & flavor of the food I ordered was outstanding. This place is a definite repeat whenever I come back to New York. ”
“ Came here on a quick work trip and we were all hankering for some dim sum. We were sat relatively quickly for a party of 4. The place was packed The dishes we ordered were really tasty. You ordered off the menu and they brought the dishes out. Some of the photos weren't great, we ordered a few dumplings that weren't what we were expecting based on the photo. Overall, a really good experience and we will be back. ”
“ Very good spot for lunch. Nice feel and the dishes were pretty good. We tried the pepper steak, sesame chicken, and the crystal dumplings. Nice ambiance for lunch or dinner. Note to restaurant: it made nervous and rushed as the servers were waiting to take my order. No need to "hover" over. Just a suggestion. I'll be back though! ”
“ Really good quality dim sum at this spacious restaurant steps away from the C train. Service is efficient and helpful. I was here on a Wednesday evening at 7:30p and the place was almost empty. We ordered a feast: Pork soup dumplings Shanghai pan fried pork buns Pork dumplings in spicy sauce Pan fried pork dumplings Steamed roast duck dumplings Chives shrimp dumplings Steamed egg custard buns Crispy shrimp roll Wonton in spicy sauce Crabmeat & shrimp spinach dumplings Siu Mai with shrimp Dan Dan noodles The highlights were undoubtedly both the pork dumplings and the wonton in spicy sauce, the steamed roast duck dumplings (which you usually don't find on other menus), the chives shrimp dumplings and the dan dan noodles. Get the steamed egg custard buns only if you're into egg custard... they're sweet and gooey. Overall, we had a great time. Dim sum plates are not cheap, though, as they range between $8 and $12. Considering that you get between 3 and 5 items per dish, you need to order a good amount to be satisfied, and prices add up fast. We didn't get any drink or dessert (or entrees) and still paid over $50 per person (not including tip). The zip code adds $15-20 per person to the check (as compared to going to Chinatown). ”
