Very affordable dim sum with quick service. Stumbled upon this place on a Monday around noon and the place was packed. You pick the dim sum items from a menu and they will steam it and bring it to your table. They also have a line for take out dim sum. I enjoyed the seafood dumpling, porridge and spare ribs. Most of the food was food was pretty standard, but the chicken feet were kinda sour and the turnip cake was too dry (they only pan fried it alone, didn't add any eggs so it was tough and dry).

I love this place! Really good dimsum! I come here with my family on Sundays and while it is a little busy.. the wait is well Worth it!

The dim sum a la carte were large portions. Easy to order. You go to your table and there is a sheet with picture of the food item and you mark your quantity. Food was fast. I like this serving concept better - you don’t have to flag dim sum cart to your table.

Been eating here for years. Had lunch here with a contractor during a business meeting. I grab and go most times on my way to CHLA. The food is always amazingly tasty. I highly recommend stopping by. They do open and close earlier than expected.

The red bean puff is so delicious. This is a really good dim sum place I’d highly recommend it. It is now one of my favorite places and I can’t wait to go back. The prices are also very reasonable. Best custard bun I’ve ever had. I did miss choosing the dim sum from the carts though.

first time here. good food, friendly service. this place is probably more famous for their seafood. the chicken and the ribs were a little tough, but the scallops, clams, and crab were very good. so were the bean sprouts and the pepper hog maw soup, cooked perfectly. everything was very flavorful and distinct. will definitely revisit.

A great place to feel at home and enjoy a nice meal. Everything on the menu is delicious. Ordering is easy and service is great. Very polite and courteous employees, if you’ve never had anything on the menu, you will not be disappointed in your first taste of each item you order. By the time you know it, your whole table is filled with delicious food. My family loves it here and the portions are just right to your liking. Parking is available and is public.
