But then another group of Cantonese speaking party came and refused to wait outside, so they're standing inside staring at the employee & was seated before us. So we walked in to inquire about it and their reason was, you didn't check your phone which a text popped up immediately after the employee mentioned it... indicating she just clicked the send message button while talking with us. Very unprofessional! And the overall attitude of staff helping us (surprisingly other than the non Cantonese ones) are quite rude, since we don't speak their language. I inquired about something, a male employee with plastic black frame glasses just give me a look like he don't want to address to me. He was also the one who came halfway of us eating to drop the check and tell us to pay first. Creepiest thing is he wouldn't stop staring at me trying to see how much tip I put down, which makes the dining experience even more uncomfortable.... As we are leaving the restaurant, we noticed they already purposely turned off all the light on the other half of the dining area with still many tables of customer dining trying to signal them to leave or something. The food itself is alright but with this kind of service. No thank you...

No frills sit-down restaurant, but no cart ladies either. That's not a drawback though. You can see all the dim sum dishes steamed up behind the counter where they're picking up table orders and fulfilling take out patrons. Service was as expected. You're greeted with curt nod and efficiency, sat as soon as there is a table, and given your order sheet. Raise your hand or call for a server when you're ready because you'll be waiting forever if you expect someone to come check in. If you're hoping for hand-holding, the nearest din tai fung is 6 miles away.

Rice rolls (Cheung Fun)- were pretty bouncy and silky. Filling was just enough. Tried beef, bbq pork and shrimp filling all were pretty decent. Bbq pork was average, not gross.

It was a bit of a pleasant surprise and immediately sets a comfortable tone. The service was quite impressive... extremely attentive, friendly, and quick. 8/10 for the food. 10/10 for the price point 10/10 for the service. The food was definitely solid for the price point. There were a few misses, but the dishes that landed were executed really well. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Siu Mai 10/10 - Juicy, plump and perfectly executed. Definitely my favorite dish. Bean Curd Skin Roll in Abalone Sauce 9/10 - Flavorful with an excellent texture. The whole dish was well executed. Beef Chow Fun 8/10 - Solid and flavorful. The beef was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Yangzhou Fried Rice 8/10 - The rice was moist and the seasoning was spot on. Shrimp Egg 8/10 - Soft and well seasoned. Generously portioned with very plump shrimp. Pork Chop Spicy Salt 8/10 - Crispy and slightly salted. It has a really great texture to it. Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant 8/10 - Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Generous portions of chicken, salty fish and eggplant. Chicken Feet 7/10 - It was solid. Not the best, but definitely not bad. House Special Crispy Shrimp Rolls 5/10 - The flavor of the shrimp was okay, but the rolls were really greasy. There were three very small rolls, definitely not my cup of tea. Chili Wonton 3/10 - By far my least favorite dish. The wonton skin tasted very flour-y, and hardly had any filling. The filling was also very bland and the chili oil was very underwhelming. By the way, the tea is free (I know, free tea at a dim sum spot).

For dishes like the beef chow fun and steamed fish for about $14.88, making it super affordable for a large group meal. The food came out fresh and hot, and the menu had a lot of variety to choose from. The restaurant gets busy, on weekends but service moved pretty efficiently overall. A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

I got the classic ayce hot pot and mostly got the beef, lamb and pork belly for meats. There is a premium ayce option for $5-6 more but I was pretty satisfied with just the classic selections. I would rather pay the extra $5 to get dim sum, which was also not bad! I liked the siu mai, shrimp har gow (fave), and steam juicy dumplings. My bf liked the steamed chicken feet and garlic tripe as well (the tripe was p spicy). You order the dim sum with your server as the dim sum is made to order, which I preferred bc it comes out steaming hot. The buffet bar also has a variety of items from fried appetizers to veggie side dishes, fried rice, noodles and more!
