Best dimsum and Chinese dishes I had recently. Sautéed string beans and Chinese broccoli were winners. Such a nice atmosphere was a great add.

Everything we ordered was very good. You don’t have to trek down to flushing our Chinatown to have a great Chinese meal. My brother who is very particular with food was also pleased with the taste especially the salt and pepper calamari. We were super early for our reservations but they were kind enough to accommodate us. The place was clean except for the restroom. But that’s not going to deter me from giving them a 5 star review. Well done!

This is not the place for celebrations. If you live in the neighborhood, fine. The food was bland. The service blah. Did not feel welcomed. Overpriced for blah food. Greasy and unseasoned. Even the rice was bad. We were in and out and back to our car in 1 hour! Paid for 1 hour of parking. Couldn’t believe it. It definitely wasn’t worth the trip into the city to celebrate a birthday. I won’t return.

Food is great: authentic and tasty. Service is friendly I would recommend to this nice restaurant just to change one little thing: to use less smelly chemicals. Something smells too strong like floor cleaner or maybe it’s table cleaner.
