Good thing we had a reservation at dinner open time, seated right away and place filled up quickly. We had 3 adults, 1 child, 1 toddler... place doesn't have kid friendly menu, sharing the fried rice and XLB was the best option. Had to order wagyu beef noodle for the kids too but noodle wasnt that great. High chairs available. They forgot to put in 2 of the many items that I marked, and by the time I realized, the other adults were full so I didn't get to try those 2 recommended items (lobster ha gaw and crab crepe)... (deducted a star for this). Fancy dim sum that tasted great but some items are overpriced example, the truffle duck fried rice tastes great (not too salty, nice chew) but bare...

The Cantonese dim sum at this restaurant is truly exceptional—well-prepared and incredibly authentic. Although some reviews might argue that certain dishes lack authenticity due to rice crusts or toppings, I believe these enhancements do not diminish the genuine essence of the cuisine. I will certainly be returning to this restaurant in the future.
The dining experience was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. We arrived early and were seated without delay. While there was an option to sit on the terrace, we opted to dine indoors and were delighted by the lovely atmosphere. The food and drinks were served quickly and were truly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!
The place is so pretty! The food is delicious and the employees are so friendly! Everything came out fast. We ordered a lot of food but it was all worth city to try and take home. Next time we come we will not come and order 17 dishes for 2 people but oureyes are bigger than our stomachs. We will definitely come back here.

Perfect place to get dim sum. Its perfectly packaged and quite tasty. My kiddo love love loves the pork soup dumpling. The rain is prawn rice crepe and pork siu Mai are two of my favs but I have many
The food is delicious! Though the portions are small, it is definitely worth it.
