I always had time to chat with the ladies inside and they're all very hardworking old school hustlers in business. They do pay attention to details and customers needs. Lines get long fast, so you'll need lots of patience here. Food items are all huge in portions/made with authentic ingredients and simply good for old school style traditional foods. Affordable and good if you know what to order. This place should remodel and get a huge upgrade, but they are busy as heck most of the time. Nobody likes sticky floors or stuff everywhere on tables in such busy environment. They do accept credit cards. Bag of buns in refrigerator are around $9-$10.50 each. Lots of pieces and flavors inside. Dim sum items are still around $5 per order. Siumai and shrimp dumplings are always a favorite since it's huge in size here. They make it very good and fulfilling compared to elsewhere. Egg custard tarts are usually $2 each, but it was buy 1 get 1 free today, so I got double the value. Huge tarts! Love them very much. Cocktail buns and pineapple buns are always fresh and big. Good recipe. I usually come for large box of chow mein or chow fun noodles too. Porridge is always excellent in taste. This is one of the most convenient and hardworking locations with great women employees staffing full day. I really got to know each person personally over the years. Great service over the counter for such busy atmosphere with limited time to get hydrated or breathe. I hope this place keeps up because newer generations want newer and cleaner places. Overall, very authentic and decent for Chinese dim sum items and good tasting bread buns.

A few dishes they do well here are the salt and pepper spare ribs (pork chop), salt and pepper fish fillet, dried scallop with egg fried rice - all their varieties of fried rice are yummy. Servers are courteous but if the restaurant is busy, servers don't come around as often as they should. You may have to flag them down. I recommend asking for everything up front if you don't see what you want at your table. For example, certain condiments or dipping sauces for your dim sum or glasses of water, extra napkins, etc. Request that stuff when the wait staff first show up or when you order. The ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant. Simple and clean enough considering how long this restaurant has been in business. Nice chandeliers. Busy on the weekends for those coming in for dim sum. Restaurant is a decent size and has tables that are good for larger parties as well. Located in a busy plaza which houses many eateries near Lion Supermarket.

Not sure what all the complaints about the food are but I have dined in a lot of Chinese dim sum places including Koi Palace and I love this place more. I have not ordered a dish I did not like and I have tried quite a few of the chef specials already. Ambiance is huge and wide open with nice tables and cloth. I go after work at around 7pm and there is a nice spattering of regulars but I know this place gets crowded in the weekend.. Price is fair but the food and ingredients high quality so I don't care as good food trumps price. I love this place and am happy the owners and staff recognize me. The food is superb and tasty and the ambiance perfect when not busy. I highly recommend coming here for an awesome food and chef to table experience!

Although we ordered a number of dishes, I am going to comment only on the Peking duck since I did…read morenot take pictures of the other food. I called in to make a reservation about a week in advance for a Peking duck Saturday lunch to celebrate my mom's birthday. The earliest Peking duck availability they had was at 11:30 AM, so when we arrived, we were the first guests in the restaurant. We were seated promptly, and we placed our orders via QR code. You can elect to have the restaurant either make a soup out of the duck bones, or to serve stir-fried duck bones; we elected for the soup to balance out the greasiness of the duck. Personally, I would rate the Peking duck meal an 8.5 out of 10. The presentation was as expected and the duck was delicious. However, the duck is a little fatty, so it was a very heavy and greasy meal. Additionally, the restaurant doesn't include enough green onions and cucumbers for 20 wraps. As other commenters have mentioned, you need to place an extra order of the condiments for an additional charge. Lastly, there were flies flying around the inside of the restaurant. Although they didn't perturb me from enjoying my meal, it was quite annoying having to shoo them away every once in awhile. The food is 4.5/5; the decor and space are 3.5/5; overall, a 4/5.

Ordered three dishes to share amongst three people: Stir Fried Smoked Beef with Garlic and Pepper, Steamed Pork Belly with Dried Pickles, Yunnan Mushroom Dish (don't recall the English translated name). The stir fried smoked beef with garlic and pepper was the best item we tried. The beef was smoky, and reasonably authentic for hunan cuisine. Okay amount of spice as well. Note - the beef is chewy and tough, but that is how it is. The steamed pork belly with dried pickles was different from what we were expecting since it usually has a salty preserved vegetable taste, and not spicy. In addition, some pieces of the pork belly were also dry. The Yunnan mushroom dish was a mix of mushrooms which wasn't really a stir fry but wasn't dry either. It was fine. Around our table - we saw that lots of folks were ordering a mushroom dry pot and the griddle fish. Will be back again to try those dishes.

Ordering from the kiosk was quick and easy, although the friendly employees are also happy to help if you prefer ordering at the counter. I stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, and the atmosphere was relaxed and laid-back. With fewer people in the restaurant, it was easy to sit back, enjoy the food, and have a good conversation. Once my food arrived, I immediately dug in. I especially liked the cafeteria-style tray presentation, which gave the meal a fun, nostalgic feel. The chicken was crispy and crunchy with plenty of savory flavor, and the pickles were a standout. They had a satisfying crunch and added a nice tangy contrast to the rice, making each bite come together really well. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I also heard they offer daily specials featuring different dishes, which gives me another reason to come back. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area!

The ambience is nice, modern, but still has that Chinese feel. You can order takeout via kiosk or dine in with table service. And that you can order via table QR code or by menu with the server. Instrumental & house music playing, but can be drowned up by the chatter of customers talking. Their restaurant has a Takeout Only in another space closeby. So the main dining area with kitchen and the other section with their Chinese BBQ, marinated meats, & tea drinks.

Unsweetened Fresh Black Soy Milk (Hot) (3/5). I've never seen black soy milk so I had to try it. The service was good and attentive before the restaurant really got crowded and takeout orders were keeping the small kitchen busy. I'll be back to try their other dishes.

This particular dish comes in 3 different variations: regular flour cake, daikon flour cake, & taro flour cake. Regardless of your preferences, any choice you make is guaranteed to be delicious. These golden cubes are pan fried until crispy edges form & a slightly chewy inside. Banh bot chien can be a shared appetizer or made into a meal all on its own. Growing up on this dish and primarily having it from TK Noodle, nothing else hits quite like their own recipe. Believe me, I've tried it at a number of restaurants and I'm always left disappointed. Not only is the flour cake disappointing but the dipping sauce is too. Here you are provided with a well balanced sauce consisting of the perfect ratio: sweet, tangy, and savory. Again, if you were to come here for only one thing- let it be this!!
