    Excellent food and great service!…read more My family has been coming here for a several years now and every time it has been spectacular. We love getting the sticky rice, steamed buns, and basically any noodle dish! Service is always great and the hostesses are always very friendly. Last time we came here it was Sunday and it was very busy. We were seated right away and had no problem ordering food for the table. The food came quick and the dim sum was fresh and hot! Overall experience was 10/10 we will be coming back

    If you are looking for an authentic Cantonese restaurant : be warned: don't come here. The best so…read morefar has been the Nobel Chef and a close second would be the Imperial Dynasty. If you don't know what Cantonese cuisine is then stop reading now. The waitress was nice but you can't fix "stupid". We wanted to order a combination meat dish half bbq pork and half steam chicken. This is a common offering at all Cantonese restaurants . But instead of getting what we ordered.. we got a whole big plate of steamed chicken a a big plate of bbq pork. I made them take back the pork and not to charge us for it. The next thing we ordered was pan fried seafood noodles, standard Cantonese fried noodle dish with Chinese broccoli, chunks of fish, shrimp and squid. Well there were only 3 pieces of shrimp 2 pieces of squid and the rest was a lot of chunks of fish. The fried noodle underneath the seafood should be drenched in a delicious sauce, but it was not so the noodle was very dry. Makes you wonder where they got the cook from. The last dish we ordered was stir fried water spinach. The spoilage itself but the poured way too much salt on it. And lastly... the bill... $90. I really don't mind paying $80 to $120 for a dinner for two. But this place does not have the server or the guy in the kitchen justify the price. Very disappointed. I don't know how long they've been in business.. but I guess you can get away with a lot these days. We're always looking for authentic Cantonese restaurants if you know of any more please let me know. Meanwhile... we'll just stick with Nobel Chef, Imperial Dunasty, and the occasional dim sum at Golden Island.""

    Came here for their limited time AYCE on a Friday afternoon around 2pm…read more Man, I've been here so many times before but stopped coming due to the lack of service I've experienced but this last visit was a very different experience in the best way possible. Place was pretty slow around that time, we got seated pretty fast and as soon as we got to the table, the carts came. Carts were full and had a lot of variety, service has improved tremendously since my last visit, and there was multiple people tending to our table. Food was pretty good as i remembered, and the items that weren't available in the carts were ordered separately and came out very fast. They didn't ignore my water levels this time around. One call out is they're very strict about leftovers during AYCE. So just watch out for that. We had 3 half pieces of eggroll left and 2 pieces of shumai and were asked to try to eat some more haha. Fair but honestly not mad about is since I was so impressed with the overall improvement since last visit. Make sure to go to their limited time AYCE offering! Absolutely worth it

    Everything says "pork" or "beef" then has shrimp with it, not labeled. Very misleading, I came here…read morethinking I could eat half the menu and I could only eat like 4 items and desserts. The menu needs better labeling. Why have things that explicitly say shrimp, then also have shrimp with beef and pork? I knew I would be limited but not this bad. Chinamax is better.

    Food is authentic. I grew up in San Francisco and later flew 747-400s for 23 years out of SFO, all…read moreover Asia (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, etc)), so I recognize great Cantonese food when I taste it. My only complaint is that it's really pricey. I spent $90 on Dim Sum--JUST FOR MYSELF!! A single serving of Siu Mai (Shumai) - Chinese steamed dumplings (you get 4 per serving), is over $9! It adds up fast. But, it beats flying back to San Francisco or Hong Kong. Anyway, the ambience is pleasant, and the workers are super friendly. I give them 5-Stars.

    I arrived at 9:50am on a Sunday and the parking lot was empty, so I had to double check if they…read morewere even open. As I proceeded to the front door, cars started piling. I checked the door and they open at 10:00am. First two hours of parking is free, there is also a paid lot adjacent to theirs which is very convenient. I was one of the first to enter, but my other half was walking in so I waited to be seat. We were greet with a smile by a gentleman and sat immediately. I love the cart pushing experience of Dim Sum and my friend hadn't experience that yet. Service was attentive, water was refilled with out asking and plates were cleared within minutes and food was on par, the only real disappointments were the stuffed bean curd, it was missing the bamboo shoots and veggies and the Gai Lan was over cooked. We had the classics: Siu Mai, Har Gow, Baked Pork Buns, Glutinous Rice savory puff and egg tarts. The tea was steeped well and was served as we were being seated. I did appreciate how Chinese the decor was. It gave me wedding banquet vibes. We did have our photo taken on our way out. Overall it was ok, it wasn't good enough to come back but I'm glad we tried it. Our prefer Dim Sum spot has better quality food and less expensive.
