Don't understand the low ratings. It's a solid Canto spot, especially for being located in LI and not having to drive into Flushing. It seems to have remained open during the pandemic. I went once for takeout and they were swamped! I normally don't order Canto food for takeout, because it is near enjoyed straight out of the kitchen so you can truly experience the "wok hay!" With that said, with no end in sight, we needed to get our Canto fix and it hit the spot! Our thoughts for takeout only: Was able to mostly sustain quality & taste: 1. Walnut shrimp 2. Beef Ho Fun 3. Lobster Sticky Rice Would probably not get again for takeout: 1. Sesame Chicken 2. Crispy Fried Chicken 3. Canto style lobster Will come check out dim sum! read more

Congee and dim sum are on yummy. There's small and large tables up to 12 so bring your friends and family for an authentic taste of Hong Kong! There's an entire list of additional foods to eat like soup, noodles, and twin lobster. read more

I come to eat dim sum here with fam every now and then. This is a decent alternative when you want to avoid the huge crowds and tough parking at flushing spots. There's a good amount of tables. Try to get a booth otherwise the regular tables can feel a bit congested with the carts being pushed around next to you. The food can be really good but at times some dishes don't taste as fresh. However, they do have a lot of cute baos and a variety of dishes. read more

Don't understand the low reviews, such an authentic dimsum spot/canto style family food in Little Neck. Love not having to stress about parking and the crowds you're battling in flushing. We been here for dimsum and the classics are solid, they are even creative and have new dishes on weekends. Food always look super fresh and of good quality. We also been here for dinner and their dinner menu is amazing too! I would even say most the dimsum cart pushing aunties here are the most friendly I ever encountered (but we know we not in these spots for service, just great food). read more

Came here for dimsum with relatives that live in the area. I was warned that I can't order half the carts like I normally do because they charge for cute items as a large. We enjoyed the usual dimsum fair like shrimp dumpling, chicken feet, and beef rice noodle thing. It wasn't too busy on the Sunday afternoon when we went. But, it quickly filled up as we were dining. Decent Cantonese food kinda far away from Flushing, Would go back if the family decide to dine here again. read more

If you've come for good tasting food, you've found the right place. If you're coming TO EAT however, you'd be better off placing your order, eating at the restaurant next door, then finishing just in time for your first dish to be ready. My family and I had to wait almost 45 minutes for our food. No peanuts, no small appetizers like other high end Chinese restaurants. The portions are also A LOT smaller and way more expensive than with what you'd typically find at restaurants with similar menus. The service at this restaurant was so bad that it was what finally pushed me over the edge to make a Yelp and write this review. The only thing stopping me from leaving a 1 star review was the food was pretty good, but NOT worth the wait and price. read more

I came here with my boyfriend and his mom after she had recommended it to us having been a few times. It was so good ! We went on Memorial Day so didn't run into any of the problems with waiting as other people have per the reviews. We got a variety of dishes including beef rice rolls, Chinese broccoli, pork buns, fish balls, bean curd rolls, and these cute pig buns as well as a few other things. They were all so good ! The quality was so much better than what you get at golden unicorn for the custard pig buns and jing fong for the barbecue pork buns ! We all enjoyed every dish ! I am hoping to come back again soon, but it is quite far out of the city. read more

The food is good but the service definitely needs a lot of work. What is it about Chinese restaurants that allows their waiter and waitresses to be unpleasantly helpful. In regards to the food, yes It was delicious. It's is definitely better than most and probably can be my "go to" Chinese restaurant if I can bare the service. LN138 definitely deserves more than a 3 star, So I guess I'm going to be unpleasantly complimentary in giving it 4 star because 3.5 stars is not an option. I still do think it's worth a try. read more

Watch out for the parking scam in the back! They charge you at least $3 to park in their lot but the valet guy doesn't say anything to you except "leave your car keys" When you pick up your car you're expected to pay at least $3 to get your car. The dude doesn't move your car and i had to pay the f*cking $3! No more of this so-so food tasting restaurant with shady parking practice but somehow it seems the same with all these dim-sum restaurants here in Flushing! Look for parking on street especially on Sundays since we don't have to feed meters on Sundays in NYC! AVOID THEIR BACK PARKING LOT! read more

Love their dim sum here. My kids ask for it every weekend so we make the call and pick it up. Our favorite is the fried crueler noodle rolls and their dumplings-shrimp, pork, chives. read more

A little bit disappointed. The place is roomy and has parking in the back. We did takeout dim sum on a Monday. It was hit and miss. The taro, beef ball, sui mai and bean curd was good. The spare ribs are suppose to have black bean but it didn't. The beef rice roll was bland and didn't have enough cilantro. We also tried the osthamus jelly. They need to strain the osthamus before using. There were stems in the jelly. Prices were reasonable. read more

Family and I got takeout dimsum: - shrimp rice rolls - chicken feet - egg custard (comes w 3) - fried shrimp roll - black bean spare ribs - custard bun (comes w 3) The chicken are some of my absolute favorite, super thick and the meat was falling off the bones. The shrimp rice rolls could come with a little more soy sauce but they're always delicious. The black bean spare ribs seem endless and are perfectly bite-sized. My niece loves the custard buns and they were very fluffy and warm. This happily fed 3 people and totaled around $40. read more

I was excited to try this place because of all the cute dim sums I've seen in pictures. I came with 2 other friends on a weekend a bit after they opened. It didn't look too busy when we got in and was seated right away. Right after sitting down, the lady with the pushcarts started coming up to us to offer us food. We were overwhelmed because we weren't settled yet nor had we thought of what to order. Thankfully there weren't that many people so the carts would come around pretty often. After settling in, we decided to pick some dim sum. We were sucked in with the cute buns and pastries. For the cute ones, we got custard buns, purple yam buns, chinese sausage bun and the bunny which was a fried veggie and pork dumpling. Other than the cute stuff, we had to get some of the more traditional dim sum such as rice rolls, mixed innards, chicken feet, har gao, bean curd wrapped with fish paste and a couple others. The cute dim sum are cute for pictures, but taste wise, they were ok. The one I would say I really liked was the fried pork and veggie dumpling. I liked it because it didn't get soggy super quick. It actually stayed crunchy even though we saved it to eat last. It had a nice chew to the dough and crunch to the outside. I enjoyed eating the ears because it was extra crispy. As the buns, they were nothing spectacular, but they weren't bad either. I liked the little details to the buns even if they were just ok. The taro bun was shaped like a porcupine or something similiar. I liked the detail on the bun, but at the same time, it created a film on the bun, which you can eat, or peel off if you prefer something fluffy. The filling wasn't super sweet which I liked. You could taste the purple yam filling, but because the vegetable is not a strong flavor, the bun is not going to be strong. The flavor is noticeable, but don't expect too much. The custard and sausage bun tastes pretty standard and normal, but with the added cuteness. As for the more traditional dim sum, they can be a hit or a miss. I liked the chicken feet and mixed innards. The chicken feet wasn't as greasy compared to some of the places in Chinatown. The mixed innards were also quite tender. The har gao, rice rolls, bean curd wrapped fish cakes, vegetarian bean curd were pretty standard. The rice roll wrapped in rice cruller was the disappointing because right when we thought it was fresh, it was definitely made a long time ago since it was not crunchy at all. We also tried the cha guo or tea cake. It was a little strange because it was like a dumpling but the filling was savory and sweet. The food here is honestly just ok, so I wouldn't go out of my way to try it. I haven't tried all the dim sum so maybe some are better than others, but for the most part of what I tried, they are just average. I don't live anywhere near little neck so it was definitely out of my way to try this place, but since it was my first time, I wanted to try to see how the food was. The service here was pretty good. The ladies were nice, but a little pushy in trying to get you to order everything. There was a really nice lady who noticed I wanted to take pictures of the cute food and even took out a plate to let me take pictures and then put it back in the order rack. They probably do notice that people our age tend to come and just order all the cute dim sums. If you are looking for cute dim sum along with some traditional, you can come try this place out. I don't think theirs is the freshest honestly, but some of their food is ok. If you want cute pictures, this might be the spot for you, but other than that, I feel like any other dim sum spots near you would taste similar. read more

Okay let me preface this that yes this place is more expensive than flushing dimsum. You're in Little Neck a few blocks from the border of Nassau County that's bound to happen. Now that that's out of the way let me get going on the review. I came here just before 10am on a Sunday, walked right in and got a seat. The only woes of coming this early is that some dimsum items were still being made and not out and about yet, but that can also be considered a plus since you get them fresh. The dimsum ladies were not as aggressive as those you'd find in flushing and honestly they were quite nice. I will honestly say that I really only wanted to come here because of the character shaped baos... yeah guilty yeah... I instagram. However I was very happy with the taste of everything we ordered. So if you're in the area looking for dimsum.. it's a solid choice here. read more

Terrible dining experience. Not only did we have to wait 45 min for a table , the dishes took forever to come out. We ordered 6 dishes at 7 pm. By 8 pm only 3 had come out. I asked 2 waiters and a manager to follow up and the answers were unbelievably unprofessional. They all told me 'that's how it is on a Sunday night '..'kitchen can't keep up' ...they told me everyone else is experiencing the same thing . So therefore I should not complain ? I canceled the rest of my order. I spoke to the main manager at the register who apologized but then proceeded to tell me that it was because I ordered late . MY FAMILY AND I SAT DOWN AT 7PM AND PLACED OUR ORDERS AT 705. And she was still arguing with me that dinner wouldn't have been 2 hours. 3 dishes per hour...I ordered 6 dishes.. can we do math here? Not only is service terrible, the customer service is even worse . I'm sorry but many restaurants are busy but patrons don't wait 2 hours for their dinner to come out. It's not the customers fault that you don't know how to manage your kitchen and your restaurant operations . Needless to say , I probably will not come back to this restaurant again. read more

We typically go to another dim sum place down the block but decided to give this place a try. We went for Dim Sum on a Saturday morning and was one of the first customers. The place seemed clean. I didn't use the restrooms, so cannot comment on how clean it is. Since it was early, most of the staff that pushes the carts around were gathered in the back chatting but every once in a while, they would come by and asked if we wanted more food. The food was mediocre at best. Everything seem to be on the bland side. At first, I thought it was only my taste buds, but every table around us asked for soy sauce and hot sauce; so I can't be too off. When we got the check, I was taken aback. The bill was over $55 for two adults plus they charged us for tea, which we did not ask for or was given. When I questioned it, the waitress answered that regardless if you have tea, you get charged for it as a "seating fee" which is utterly ridiculous to me. We ordered the basic dim sum dishes but everything seemed to be considered "special" and at $5.95 a dish. We will save our money and just go to the neighboring dim sum place, which is much better! read more

The food and most of the staff's service are very good, except for a female manager who has a very bad attitude. I feel disgusted by her. I don't understand it very much. If you feel unhappy at work during the holiday, you can take a break, but don't vent your temper on the guests. read more

I always find it amusing when Chinese restaurants get low ratings due to service but I believe sometimes people are just focusing on the wrong things when writing reviews and it shows. It's rare to see any dim sum place with good ratings and I can easily understand why, but does it take away from the food? Not really. Does it take away from the experience of a nice meal? Sure if you have high expectations, a chaotic dim sum service can and will make you feel like you're not important. Boo hoo cry me a river. Any busy restaurant, Chinese or not, will have terrible service if they're doing food right, there's a reason they're packed, and service is part of the sacrifice for good food sometimes. The fact of the matter is, the food here is delicious and can compete with any other Cantonese restaurant in NY. You want service, you'll need to spend a little more for a fine dining experience at the super authentic PF Changs!(sarcastic af) All in all, I hate this misconception of all Chinese places having bad service and yet a NY pizza joint with a meathead behind the counter with a NY attitude gets a free pass on service. Fahgettaboudit! End rant: This place is good and I'll take the shitty service over PF Changs any day. Stay fat mother suckers read more

Went there last night for Thanksgiving. The food was great. The service was okay. They kept forgetting our drinks. We asked for wet tissue which is inside there pocket and they told us to wait a sec. And just walk off. I get it was a holiday and they are busy. But the 3 star isnt because of that. We had left over and we just found a piece of plastic in one of the dishes we took home. Thank goodness my son didnt get cut or swallow it. The piece of plastic was inside snow pea leaves... please pay attention to your food. read more

Worst service ever, waitstaff doesn't want to work. Food is served super slow. Not your typical dim sum place where the carts are being pushed. You need to make your selections from a menu. Every dish is probably served 10-15 minutes apart... So you figure if I ordered 20 dishes, how long will that take. Buns are cute, that's about it read more

There are still many reasons to go to downtown Flushing for dim sum. This restaurant is a great example of why this is true. Food: just because something looks "cute" doesn't mean that it will taste good. In fact, personally, I'd rather it taste good than look "cute." As a parent, I will always teach my child not to play with her food. This "cute" stuff seems to encourage playing with it. The chef ought to know that it matters more how dim sum tastes, but one star for trying. Most dim sum items here were, unfortunately, below par. Service: there simply aren't enough servers to cover such a big area. Decor: it's clean, it's new, but it matters little if the food isn't great. Thanks, but no thanks. The search for good dim sum in this area continues. read more

Growing up, dim sum was almost a weekly affair on the weekends with family and sometimes even friends so I've tried my fair share of dim sum restaurants throughout the years. We came here because of the cute Instagram worthy food of all our dim sum favorites disguised as animals almost too cute to eat. Was this the best dim sum I ever had in NY? No but it was the most photographed dim sum brunch I've ever had. The parking in the Little Neck area has gotten so bad with the influx of restaurants in the area but still better than Flushing. But if I'm ever craving dim sum and not wanting to trek to downtown Flushing then this would probably be my go to place. Unless of course the line is out the door which is sometimes the case on a weekend or holiday weekday. read more

Disappointing, mediocre, lack of flavor, some dishes cooked completely differently than its peers in flushing and right next door. Slow service. Ordered a number of items off a piece of paper and waited 35 minutes for them to bring mediocre dishes, they then mess up the orders and gave ours away At one point I left the restaurant to check next door (northern manor, another dim sum spot which I gave 4 stars) to see if they were opened since I literally at this point just wanted to pay for the crappy dishes we had and just leave unfortunately next door was still closed... Horrible experience never coming back again read more

Price average is higher then Flushing but an above average place for dim sum out side of Flushing & Chinatown for in term of food quality and cleanliness. Valet parking is expensive here at $3 , so I usually just try to find parking. Their dimsum of egg roll & shrimp roll and variety of buns with character theme are good here. Har Gow is as good as Ocean Jewel or Mui Lan in Flushing. One of their special dish green tea pineapple bun which I tried was okay to me. Nothing spectacular. This is my new go to place outside of Flushing from Long Island. read more

Overall it tasted very fresh to me compared to other dimsum restaurants. Cute presentation was a plus! I will be back often. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE ON THE WEEKENDS Came here 3 times for dinner with a party of 7 or more. Each time I waited longer for my food. Today, in particular, I waited 45 minutes for the dishes to come out. After talking to the manager, he said he was "afraid to talk to the cook or else they won't make our food or make us wait even longer" I have NEVER heard of this before. This is inappropriate and pretty disrespectful. The reason I am giving them 3 stars is because 1) Dimsum on the weekdays are no wait 2) Food is great especially the egg custard piggy buns and Peking duck!! However, service on the weekends really REALLY needs to improve. read more

So I wanted to share my take-out experience. First time about a year ago. I ordered several dishes via the phone and was told it would be ready by 30-35 minutes. When I arrived by the time frame and told the manager my order number, the guy looked at my invoice, had me paid, ran into the kitchen quickly, and came back telling me that all was ready but my lobster dish. I would have to wait an extra 20 minutes. I was a little puzzled by his logistic and suspected that they withheld my most expensive dish until I paid in person. However, it was just a suspicion but the total 50 minutes wait time did pissed me off as most of my orders were already aged. Last Sunday, I was finally able to prove my suspicion. Again, I ordered the food via the phone and was told it would be ready by 30-35 minutes. When I got there, the person before me has an order number after me. However, his order was already ready by the front desk. He told the manager that his order was paid for. Then, I told the manager my order number. The lady looked up my invoice, went into the kitchen and came back telling me my order was only half-done. I was like, "what? I am only ordering 4 items and it has already been to 40 minutes!" Another ridiculous thing is that the lady cannot promise me how long it will take for the second half of the order to finish. I looked around the restaurant and it was only filled 40% from its full capacity and it was 5:45pm of a Sunday evening. When I stared at the reception desk, couple order invoices were laying out and some of them should be the orders before me. Simultaneously, a distressed take-out customer called in asking for their food status as they arrived at the time-frame they were told. Same, they were told by the lady that their order was also "partially finished". I cannot justify how come a pre-paid order after me can be picked up so much earlier compared to others. My only answer is that if your order is paid when ordering, you might have a better chance to grab your order within the promised time. Otherwise, their strategy is that they will only make half of your order until you fully paid your whole order. By then, they are guaranteed with no losses and the only person losing is you as you stuck in the restaurant for whatever time needed to get your order completed. Honestly, if the restaurant does not want losses from no-show take-out customers, just make a rule saying order over certain amount should be paid at the time of order. There is really no need to play this type of shady trick. It is hilarious that the front desk told you that they would check your order after you paid the order. I think the true story is that they went into the kitchen and give go-ahead for the remaining dishes in the order. read more

We decided to come here for dinner because there were a lot of people here when we drove passed it a couple days ago. They have a very small parking lot in the back but it's easy to miss because you have to go through a really small alley way. Street parking is also available but may be tough during popular times The restaurant itself is very big and decorated very nicely. They have large tables so it's perfect for a big family! They also have smaller tables for smaller groups. Ordering the food was a little challenging because all of the waiters were Chinese & spoke limited English (we were all Korean). I also felt like they were more open to helping the Chinese customers, which is why I took away a star. The entrees came in shareable sizes, perfect for family style dinners. I wouldn't recommend individual entrees per person because of the size & the fact that they didn't come with rice. I'd say one entree is good for 2 people (unless you're reallllly hungry) At the end, they give you a warm dessert that has tapioca pearls in what seems like a pumpkin soup & fresh watermelon slices. Overall, I would come back for the food, but would like for the service to be a bit better. read more

Very cute! The reason I came here and why you would probably come here is that they have these really cute cartoon buns in the shape of rabbits, hedgehogs, piggies and chicks. They are slightly less salty than normal dim sum places so if you're into salty/ really flavorful food then this might not be the place for you. My boyfriend and I generally eat pretty bland so this was perfect for us. We came on a Saturday at 10:30/11 and there was plenty of space. We didn't have to wait at all and there was meter parking right in front of the restaurant. They have their own parking lot but you would be paying more than the meter. It's only $1 for an hour in front. The only thing bad about being there earlier was that I realized there were some cute things that started to roll out towards the end, but we were really full already. I still got some great shots of though. read more

Came here fir dinner with the family to try the Alaskan king crab. The food was yummy and the seevice was good. We got a 8.5lb crab and it was cooked 3 ways. The crab was cooked perfectly. We had it steamed with garlic sauce. Fried with chili bits and garlic. Lastly bits were steamed with egg. The egg was so silky! The 6 of us plus 2 kids ordered 8 dishes. Clearly there was a lot of left overs but everything tasted great. And over all the price was fairly reasonable. The crab i think came out to approximately $42/lb. Dinner was good and we will probably go back. Just make sure you make reservations at night as it does get busy. read more

Dim sum is very good on the weekends but you will wait for an eternity because there are not a lot of above-average dim sum places in this area. Their weekday dim sum is not good because there are not enough turnover so the food is not super fresh. That said, dinner is excellent. The chef got much more creative and the high heat Cantonese dishes were flavorful, rich and very fresh. This is true for the whole week, although it gets a little rushed on Saturday nights because they sort of want you out of there for the next seating. I've wavered between loving it when it first opened, to hating it when it got lazy, to loving it again when they got the new chef. Get the beef and mushroom pot read more

After several visits to LN1380, I am happy to report that Little Neck has another great dim sum destination. For those living nearby, it can easily be accessed by taking the Q12 bus from Flushing. LN1380 is conveniently located next its larger neighbor, the venerable Northern Manor. In sheer size, LN1380 is about half the size of Northern Manor, yet it doesn't seem cramped at all. There are three separate rows of curved banquettes with ample room for 6 to 8 persons. There are also smaller tables that seat 4 spread throughout the restaurant. Décor is yellowish and regal and service is attentive depending on how busy the restaurant is. I've had dim sum several times here and can say that their steamed items, desserts and fried dim sum are all up to standard. What I particularly like were the shrimp rice rolls (shrimp particularly large!), and the various custard buns which come in many varieties. Their fried turnip cake was very decent as well. I've found that dim sum service usually winds down by 2:30 p.m. on the weekends though I'm not sure about weekdays. Dim sum is also served via cart on the weekends, although I did see that they had dim sum check off lists which I think might be used during less busy weekdays. As for dinner, they are on par with Northern Manor with food quality. I've had casseroles, fried pork chops and vegetable dishes here and they've all been well made, well-portioned and not greasy. In contrast to busy dim sum afternoons, nights are much less busy. This, I think, is due to the fact that Little Neck is a low-rise neighborhood and you would really have to make a purposeful trek to come here. All in all, I wholeheartedly welcome another excellent restaurant coming to the area and as the Asian population grows here, there should be more to come! read more

Overall (3 stars): Like most dim sum restaurants I've been to, LN1380 has a few standout dishes and a few okay ones. Overall it was a good experience because the restaurant was clean and shumai were on point. However, the higher prices in comparison to other places, lack of parking ($3 valet parking noooooo) doesn't make me want to come back too badly. Best dishes: house-made pork shu mai and the chinese fried donut wrapped with more rice noodle (hard to describe). General: The wait was roughly 20min on a Sunday morning at roughly 11:30AM. Not much space to stand around so it was a little uncomfortable waiting in the restaurant for our seats. The parking is also an issue around here especially since they charge $3 to valet your car in their lot. I would actually recommend parking at Stop and Shop a block down and walking. LN1380 is cleaner and more nicely decorated than most dim sum places I've been to. Food: Some items were really good, some were just okay. Pork shumai - The best dish I had today. It tasted super fresh and well put together. There's even small pieces of shrimp inside! I heard that this is house-made and it certainly tasted that way. Probably the best shumai I've had at a dim sum place. Fried donut wrapped with rice noodles - Dough on dough. Carb on carb. So good. The fried donut was a little bit too crispy but still had enough chewiness that I let it slide. I love that they put little scallions and cilantro leaves on top. As always, it comes topped with soy sauce and hoisin sauce for dipping. Shrimp dumplings - These were really mediocre here. A little on the bland side and the shrimp inside didn't taste that high quality to be honest. Tea wrapped sticky rice - These were actually quite good. Light on the meat filling and way too heavy on the rice but the rice texture was really good. It was super sticky (more so than at other places) and had a nice umami flavor to it. Overall summary back up top! read more

I hesitate to write this review bc Chinese restaurants are notorious for being inconsistent. I have been to many chinese restaurants that were good the time I went and then upon return was crap. This is my second visit here with the fam. There was a wait for a table at 7 but we were seated in about ten minutes. Twin Lobster Glutinous Rice Twin stir fried lobster with Glutinous Rice. I am usually not a huge fan of this because I'm not a big lobster nor carb person. But they did it well this time. The Glutinous Rice had bits of crunchy dried shrimp and crunchy rice. Yummo! It wasn't greasy which I always appreciate esp in Cantonese food. The lobster was done just right. Not overdone. Peking Pork Chops While I would have preferred this to be on the drier side, they did use leaner pork which deserves some credit. The flavor of the sauce was good. Good balance between Tart and sweet. Fish Maw Crab Meat Soup This was tasty and had a decent amount of crab meat and fish maw. Not fishy either. Hollow Crest Pepper Bean Paste Super fresh and well proportioned. Well flavored and crunchy! Mapo Tofu This is not as good as the Mapo Tofu served at sichuan restaurants. It was definitely more on the bland side. If you are used to eating Mapo Tofu at sichuan restaurants and like the full flavor it has to offer, this may not be your dish. If you like something a little more subtle, then this is acceptable. My folks preferred this. The rest of us thought it was on the bland side. Garlic Crispy Chicken This was good but erred on the salty side. Skin was super thin and meat was tender. Food has been consistent so far. Hope this stays that way!! read more

There was only two places that popped up when we searched up dim sum. We decided to go here and the setting can be real private the chairs are formed. It's almost like you're sitting in a tea cup at Disneyland. The menu is a straightforward method where order how many plates you want. It's in English and Chinese and the plates are categorized by how big and how much it costs. Real easy to understand. The food is good. The beef rolls are different from how they make it them in the city. The other food taste good and I have no problem. I don't recommend getting the buns because it's pretty hallow in there. Also they didn't have congee prepped for the morning which is weird but I'm okay with it. Not a bad spot overall! read more

I had heard about the interesting dishes they have here and was excited to try. As I got there I saw people sitting inside. As it was within half an hour of closing I decided I was just going to get something to go. As I walked in I was very impressed by the decor and spacious layout. This is a very elegant place. And I was a bit disappointed I did not have time to dine in. As I am admiring the restaurant it dawns on me that no one has greeted at all. I am standing near the front desk looking at a takeout menu. Some patrons exited and I stood there awkwardly. An employee cleaning up looked right at me and then continued to clean his table. It did not seem like they were interested in helping me so I walked right out that night. I had decided to try and give another chance. There was some dim sum photos and had seen online that I wanted to try out. I went there earlier to avoid any issues I faced last time. The dim sum I ordered seemed like it was just reheated. I decided on an entree of Kung Pao chicken. There was nothing really outstanding about it. Service seemed to be all right. The server who took my order and another employee brought my orders out. I had heard and read so many good things about this place and it seemed popular with some big family parties. The experiences I had really make it difficult for me to recommend this restaurant to anyone I know. read more
