    Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai (4 pcs)
    Krystyn L.

    I was craving dim sum one morning but wasn't in the mood to go to a sit-down restaurant, so I was extremely lucky that Master Yue's Tea Palace offers to-go! In fact, they only offer pickup or delivery orders. I opted for pick-up, which was at Sactown Eats. The surrounding area was a little rough but I didn't feel unsafe when picking up my order. I loved that they had a good variety of dim sum, but I opted for some of the classics: Har Gow - perfect texture with a generous amount of shrimp Siu Mai - just straight-up deliciousness! BBQ Pork Bun - I believe they make their dough from scratch as well. I wish I can explain it better, but there's a certain texture and sour aftertaste that's nostalgic for me. Maybe it's how the yeast reacted to the warm climate back home? Idk. I've enjoyed many pork buns here in the US, but it's been a while when I had that taste that brought me back to my childhood. The filling is generous and I like that they don't use food coloring for their pork. Shanghai soup dumpling - it didn't seem to have much broth inside, but that's a common issue with takeout soup dumplings. It was still tasty! I thought the wrapper was a little too thick, but my husband liked it because it added to the texture. Custard buns - accidentally ordered this instead of the lava buns, but hey, I'm not complaining! The custard wasn't too sweet, so i had no problems eating all 3 (apologies to my husband lol) Sesame balls - they look perfect! The texture was great and I loved the chewiness. The red bean filling, however, wasn't sweet at all, so that threw me off. I've never had them unsweetened, so I'm not sure if it's a regional style or the business' decision. It was still enjoyable though! Their prices weren't bad, with each dish ranging from $5.88 to $7.25. I also love that they're open every day from 9am-9pm. This is going to be very dangerous for me since I live so close by. I might make this my weekend breakfast habit!

    Four Favorites and Paper wrapped chicken. We already ate some from these.

    We decided to try this place despite it being fairly new, and I am so glad we did. The shrimp dumpling and siu mai are both so flavorful and fresh, but I must say the steamed bbq pork buns are my favorite. The sticky rice in lotus leaf and paper wrapped chicken were foods we've never tried before, but they're actually very tasty. I am excited to try other items in their menu. I definitely recommend this place. *ordered through Doordash

    Food: I ordered through uber eats, I ordered shrimp and pork siu mai, shrimp dumplings, pork soup dumplings, and chicken potstickers. All and all, the taste of the food was good! I specifically enjoyed the foil wrapped chicken they added for free! It had some herbs and veggies that tasted amazing. Size of the dumplings were decent too. I feel full just from eating the chicken potstickers and siu mai. Now, it could be just me. The soup dumpling didn't have a lot of broth, but that could also be from it being delivered. I definitely would be interested in going to try them fresh. Overall I'm glad I took a shot on this place. I forgot to get a picture of the shrimp dumplings.

I suggest you order how ever much you want as you can take the left overs to go and snack on them later Please eat the ones that wont be good later amd save the ones that will be easy finger foods If you're from outside of the city limits maybe they to order as much as you can handle. You can always add more if you need too. The restaurant is pretty. Very classy, but not as open as other dim sum places. I dont kbownif they do events here, but you can ask if you're interested. The restrooms are well maintained and have a few stalls. Parking cam be difficult so come early or on a weekend. The spots are a bit tight so you squeeze in and out. Great staff. They are prompt and ensure you receive all items on your receipt. They will bring the check and you pay at from your table. No need to go to the counter. Everything is good and super refreshing. You can pick tea or water as well.

    I've been coming to New Happy Garden for several years--back when it was just "Happy Garden"--and…read moreit used to be a spot I'd happily go out of my way for. The restaurant itself has always been large, spacious, and beautifully decorated with chandeliers--it's definitely a nice venue for events like weddings. Their taro turnovers have always been a favorite of mine, and even after moving farther away, I still found myself coming back just for them. A few months ago, my husband and I had a really pleasant experience here. We ordered a variety of dim sum and ended up taking some home because everything was so enjoyable. My husband typically orders the spicy orange chicken and has always been satisfied with it. The service during that visit was also great--the server was sweet, attentive, and we even had some fun conversations. Unfortunately, our most recent visit yesterday was a completely different experience. We came in around 11:15 AM on a Tuesday expecting a nice, casual dim sum date. I ordered har gow, siu mai, sticky rice, and shrimp balls with sweet and sour sauce, and we waited for more of the dim sum carts to come around. As usual, I ordered the spicy orange chicken for my husband. It was already off to a rough start when communication with our servers became difficult. There seemed to be a significant language barrier, and it was challenging to get our concerns across. Things went downhill when we received the "spicy" orange chicken. It was not spicy at all and, more importantly, it was severely overcooked--hard, dry, and honestly unchewable. We ordered chicken, not beef jerky. When we brought this up, the staff seemed fixated on the spice level rather than listening to the main issue. They insisted that the dish was already spicy and interpreted our concern as a request for "extra spicy." Both my husband and I can handle spice differently, but we could agree there was no spice present, and that wasn't even the primary problem--the texture was. They took the dish back, and we assumed it would be remade. Instead, it was quickly returned to us with some chili sauce sprinkled on top--the same exact overcooked chicken. I could tell it hadn't been remade because the same broken piece of chicken was still on the plate. At that point, we were frustrated and had lost our appetites. I took the dish to the register myself to explain that the issue was the texture and that the chicken was inedible. It finally seemed to click, and they apologized and offered to remake it, but by then, it felt too late. I'm not one to give third chances when something should have been handled correctly the first or second time. To their credit, they did not charge us for the dish and were apologetic, but the entire experience felt unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. That's not the level of service I expect when I'm paying to support a business. It's especially disappointing because this was meant to be our last visit before moving out of state, and it ended on such a sour note. Sadly, after this experience, I definitely do not see myself returning.

However, I can still speak to the food quality and overall ambiance. The food was very tasty overall. My favorite dish was the Peking duck--it's honestly one of the best Peking ducks I've ever had. The buns were steamed perfectly, and the duck itself was incredible. The meat was tender, the skin was crispy, and everything paired beautifully with the sauce. We also had fish maw soup, a clay pot dish with shrimp and vegetables, chicken and rice, bok choy, and several other dishes. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, and I would happily reorder most of the items we tried. The ambiance was pretty much what you'd expect from a traditional Chinese-American banquet restaurant. It had the large round tables with lazy Susans to accommodate big groups, along with a stage off to the side for events like wedding receptions and other celebrations. Overall, this is a great spot for a large family gathering or celebration. The food was delicious, and the space was well-suited for hosting big groups.

    UPDATE 4/6/2026…read more Prices are more transparent now than previously in the past. Menu items are more consistent now where as in the past the portion size would vary based off of your party size as I noticed before when ordering entree items. One time we had a party of two and ordered a dish and was smaller than when visiting with a party of 4. Same price you're paying you should get the same size portion regardless. Kings has made improvements over the years. The food is still great and worth going to!

The aroma alone--warm five-spice, toasted sesame, and slow-simmered broths are comforting. Every bite carries that unmistakable 家常味 (jiā cháng wèi), the soulful "home-style flavor" that can't be rushed or replicated. Taking one bite of the Taiwanese braised pork rice instantly made me think of my nànà's cooking, the similar flavors jolted me back to her kitchen as a kid. Wow, that alone blew my mind. I haven't tasted anything remotely close to her cooking since she passed away. Thank you . Everything I tried was delicious and I can't wait to come back and order everything else!!!
