It was close and the pictures looked like just what I wanted. We learned though don't leave your house at 5:30 pm ever. It took as an hour to go 5.3 miles. The traffic was extra horrible in all directions. When we finally arrived we were both really hungry. We ordered the Family Special B. We both chose our own entree and we picked Walnut Shrimp and Mongolian Beef. It comes with four fried shrimp and 4 cheese wontons, fried rice and of course the mandatory fortune cookie. The inside looks cute and cozy. Buddha greets you and he's happy because he was dripping in dollars. They were really busy and people kept pouring in so I didn't get to ask why he had all those bills. The food was delicious. It came with Hot and Sour Soup which was hot in temperature and in spiciness. The shrimp was fresh and melted in your mouth. The Mongolian Beef is drenched in onions, celery and peppers and had some heat too. They were kind and we will be back. That way I can get to the bottom of the Buddha.

The shrimps were big and there were 8 pieces which was generous. The dinner combo was missing the egg drop soup I selected for my order and the ham fried rice was hard (-1 star for this). However, the sides egg roll, cream cheese ragoon, and pan fried chicken were a plus to the dinner combo. The wonton soup I ordered separately was amazing and I could eat it in two meals since it was one big size. The price was pretty good for the amount of food and quality.

I tried to just ignore it so we ordered. They have pretty standard lunch combinations. I can't even remember what I had. I don't think I would go back.

It's good dim sum for Utah. Food is decent but service is slow. We made a reservation for a party…read moreof 12, and it took around 20 minutes just to get seated (it wasn't a full house). The hostess seemed clueless when we arrived and I had to follow up with her a few times about our table. We weren't seated in the main dining room, so I had to walk back and forth to get the ladies with the carts to come over. Service eventually improved once I started talking with the staff in Chinese. Note that the restaurant advertises that they have gluten free options but most of the dishes aren't truly gluten free. The only celiac safe items are the fried rice and noodles (and there's no tamari).

Very authentic Cantonese food. We missed the dim sum hours but I'm looking forward to going back. Don't worry about the language barrier because our waitress spoke perfect english. Highly recommend their hot & sour soup & roasted pork belly in hot pot. We also ordered their tomato beef chow mein (on special). That dish is not available all of the time because they use heirloom tomatoes that is only during the tomato season but that was the best chow mein I've had in a long time. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Looking forward to going back.

The tables and chairs are filled with tradition and the beautiful inlaid mother of pearl transports you to the experience you are about to have. Each wall is tastefully adorned with traditional artwork. Our server was attentive and we ordered across the menu to get a taste of the large offering. We didn't arrive in town early enough for the Dim Sum service, but there were enough dumplings on the dinner menu to convince us to come back for the full experience. We loved our meal, enjoying every dish. One dish came with shrimp dumplings, which was a surprise because the menu just said 'dumpling.' We ordered enough that we could enjoy the leftovers later that evening, and we ate every bite. They offer tea service as well, but we didn't do it this time. They also have a variety of tea pots and sets for reasonable prices.

I really wanted dim sum the moment we got to SLC. All these Asian restaurants everywhere! Dim sum…read moreis something we don't have back in Boise so I'm trying to eat a much as I can before I head home. My daughter and I decided to try this joint out for lunch. They serve dim sum throughout the day so it was a win win situation. Most dim sum is in the morning so the fact we can have it for lunch was great. Walking in, I expected the joint to be nicer. Not necessarily top of the line but nicer. It was dull, crowded and dated. The lady behind the counter guided us to our table. We did breeze over the menu but I already knew what we wanted. We ordered a handful a handful of things. It all looked good on the menu and these were some of my favorite dishes growing up. Black bean spareribs, shu mai, haw gow, taro cake, lotus leaf sticky rice, bean curd with meat in the middle and long rice noodle with shrimp. Everything is pre made and sitting in a steamer bath. I would have been willing to wait for the dim sum to be made fresh instead of it just sitting around staying warm. Honestly, if I would have known that they were pre made, I probably wouldn't have come. The black bean spareribs were fatty and lacking black bean. The long rice noodles were already sauced so the sauce was thick and dry on the noodles already. The haw gaw was cold. The clear wrapping on the haw gow is my favorite and it was tough. The stuffed bean curd was pretty bland. The lotus leaf with sticky rice was good! It was hot and the filling was savory to the sticky rice. The shu mai was savory. The only thing that was honestly cooked cooked was the taro cake. It was actually steamed and then grilled. It was really good! I love the crunchy exterior and the soft middle. Half of the food was good and the other half was so disappointing. As dated as this joint is, I know places that look dated can produce some of the best food! I was hoping that this was going to be the case but it wasn't. Service was basic. It was uncomfortably warm inside the venue today. I'm happy I got to try it out but I don't see myself coming back for a second round.

I have been daydreaming about this joint since November. I was in town for my 6 month post…read moretransplant visit at U of U so you know I had to make my way in for a meal before I headed back to Boise. We were the first ones here. I got to put my order in pretty quickly and it wasn't long till my shu mai and haw gar came out. My fried shrimp dumplings and taro cake came shortly after. I was in heaven! The dim sum here is so good! I had everything to myself since my husband doesn't really eat Chinese food. The fried shrimp dumplings are my favorite! They are crispy. The shrimp in it middle is savory and chewy. The sweet sauce it is paired with is a match made in heaven! The taro cake was hot and charry from the wok. The shu mai and haw gar were good but you can tell they were previously heated and just sitting in the warmer. They could have been hotter and the exterior could have been softer. Even though they were perfect, they were still fabulous. The service isn't the best and after my first initial visit I knew to keep my expectations low. I come here for the food and it delivers every time! I ate everything and didn't have an ounce of guilt for doing so. We don't have dim sum like this in Boise so I made sure I enjoyed and savored every bite! I look forward to coming back to SLC in a few months cause I know this joint will be on my to go list when I'm here again.

On the plus side, they had some of the better hot & sour soups I have had, and I've tasted it all…read moreover China. It's sort-of my thing. The worst of the negative side is that we were seated next to the fish tanks and just looking at them was nausea-inducing. A couple of the were full of algae and all were dirty. For the rest of it, meh. The BBQ duck was medium. Quite good flavor, but very overcooked. We also got the mixed meat & veggie pot which was not good. 80% of the "meat" was fried tofu, the rest of it was very overcooked, and it had no real flavor. The staff was extremely attentive though--and generous. They actually gave us an extra cup of hot & sour soup because we were sharing. And they gave our daughter extra fortune cookies.
