I haven't been to NBC for a long time. This time I was there for a group lunch. We reserved a room, and the dim sum was delicious. Although the price was higher compared to other SGV dim sum places, however, the food quality was totally worth it. Since we were in a room, there was a dedicated server to serve us. The dim sum carts were constantly making their trip to our room.
This is authentic Cantonese dim sum with the traditional push carts coming around, which honestly makes it super easy for me because I can just see what I like and pick up the food on the spot. I ordered quite a bit to try , duck, siu mai, har gow, and a bunch of different dishes. Food was good overall, just not really "wow" for everything. Some dishes were really delicious, while some were just okay. Price was fair and service was great during our visit. The restaurant does get a bit noisy, but that's pretty typical for dim sum places like this. Parking was a little tricky, but we still managed to find a spot.
02/28/26 Saturday Arrived at 11 AM right when they opened. Party of 10 with two babies. They were able to provide high chairs. We ordered A LOT so I'll just touch upon some dishes: -Our favorite item was the egg tart but maybe because it came straight out of the oven so it was piping hot. The crust was super flaky, and custard was velvety smooth and not too sweet. We were so tempted to get seconds but we were too full. -The bean curd wrapped with shrimp and pork was on point as well. -The chicken feet didn't really meet expectations. Normally I like it, but I wasn't impressed by this one. -the ham sui gok was good but I feel like it could've used more filling -fried rice had big juicy shrimp but rice was on the saltier side -Inconsistent crystal wrapper textures across all the different crystal skin dumplings. Some mushy, which I don't like. Some chewy, which I do like. The fillings were delicious though. Cart workers are a little pushy when it came to dishes they wanted to get rid of. TIP: Best to get stuff when it's hot and hasn't been sitting in the cart. Can accommodate large groups as it is Chinese banquet style seating with large round rotating tables. Parking is plentiful but it fills up quick surprisingly.
Old school dim sum with carts and classic choices is a disappearing experience, even in Monterey Park, but NBC still has the carts, servers who speak Cantonese, and huge dining room with easy parking. It was great to go with friends who speak Cantonese because mine is so rusty, I can only understand but not speak these days. I was so hungry I didn't even let my phone eat 1st like the yelped I am, but only remembered to take a photo after we had eaten at least half our plates! Having grown up with NYC and SF dim sum, NBC is one of the few Los Angeles area places that has the selection and flavors of my childhood. Some favorites were the har gow, taro puffs, and tripe. We got the roast duck but it wasn't very meaty or flavorful. We got the congee which was ok, but lacked any definite personality. The chewy fried dumplings were more dough than filling. The siu mai and veggie dumplings were both solid. I didn't try the bitter melon or turnip cakes because I don't like the taste of either, but I was happy to see them available. We got a claypot rice dish with spare ribs and Chinese sausage which was good but the rice was not crispy on the bottom. I saw they had chicken feet, which I usually love but they didn't look appetizing enough to order. Would definitely go back for other dishes and with more people so we could sample more selections.
This dim sum restaurant open at 8am in the morning. It's a push cart dim sum so you can see what they've before you take the orders. We got there around 9am. Plenty of parking spaces in the parking lots. When we walked in It was kind of empty only 2 tables with customers. The desserts carts with buns and fried items were cold. Eggs rolled was crunchy but cold. Chicken feet were soso not that tasty. Spare ribs were okay. Mango pudding wasn't that sweet. It was just right. If you like push carts dim sum this is the place to go,
NBC is a well-known dim sum spot in the 626 and for a good reason. That they still have dim sum carts and are old-school in 2026 when many have substituted for paper menus make for some nostalgic memories. Reservations are definitely welcome, and service is as expected: fast and efficient but passive. The prices are fairly more expensive than you may expect, so make sure to come with a large party to enjoy all the variety! At the time of visit, our party sat in the back corner room, and the staff members were highly disruptive the entire dining experience rearranging the room for other parties. Seating was TIGHT, and I was hit multiple times before being asked to move. In the process, I lost an item close to me there, and the staff members were unable to find it. All in all, while NBC holds a special place in the dim sum list, I likely won't be back because of this poor experience.
Our family has had many Lunar New Year gatherings here over the years; it's the only time I've dined here. It's a classic, huge Chinese dining emporium with a huge main dining room about 2 accessory dining rooms and a warren of smaller rooms for smaller individual parties. They offer dim sum here daily, using the traditional rolling carts, and it's very popular. This year, we had to have our dinner on a Sunday because Saturday was sold out. And even on this Sunday, the main dining room was hosting a single huge banquet. Note there are restrooms off the main dining room and separate restrooms back towards the individual rooms. Parking here is free and fairly easy. The building and decor have seen better days, but the food remains consistently good. We always order the Peking Duck and their version is pretty good, served with bao buns, crispy skin plus the duck meat and hoisin sauce. We didn't get scallions this time. Other dishes we usually get are: white chicken, French beef, sweet and sour pork, green beans, fish with bok choy, orange chicken, kung pao shrimp, pork belly with jellyfish and seaweed, braised mushrooms with greens, squab with lettuce cups. Dessert is usually red bean soup, but I pass on it. Service is typical Cantonese-speaking, sometimes gruff and grumpy, sometimes friendly, usually attentive. Reliable and consistent. For more glamour, go to Bistro Na's.
The workers here are nice and friendly. The wait can be long so make she you come here early to put your name down. The prices here are not that bad. Went here for Dim Sum and the food here was so delicious. This place beats all the Bay Area Dim Sum restaurant I've been to. Not that greasy and the food was flavorful. Their tea was so good, that the waiter keeps coming back to refill it.
Another popular dim sum spot in Monterey Park, NBC Seafood Restaurant definitely delivers that classic Cantonese banquet hall vibe. The staff here are incredibly attentive--they're constantly refilling your teapot and water cups and clearing plates so the table never feels crowded. As soon as we were seated, we were able to immediately order all of our dim sum favorites without any wait, which was a huge plus compared to places where you're stuck waiting for carts to come around. That said, while the service and efficiency really stand out, I do think there are other dim sum spots with slightly better execution and more polished presentation. Still, if you're looking for a reliable, old-school dim sum experience with very attentive service, this place definitely hits the spot.
We're always in the mood for some great dim sum, and NBC came highly recommended. We arrived around 10:30 on Sunday and did not have to wait long for a table. This was our first time here, and it did not disappoint! From Chinese broccoli to pork shumai, porridge, turnip cake, and everything else that we ordered. All were amazing and tasted fresh. We didn't order anything we didn't like; everything tasted great and hit the spot for us. Service was quick, and they were fast to serve and get you out. We were impressed with how fast our food hit the table! If you're in the SGV area, I would highly recommend giving them a try!
This is a classic old style dim sum place where they still wheel around the carts. It's so fun, noisy and crowded. Long wait to get a table, but the dim sum is tasty!! They have a large, free parking lot. Prices are on the high side ($40 person but we ate a lot), but isn't everything kind of expensive these days?
If you're craving an authentic dim sum experience, both in food and atmosphere, this place delivers. The dining room feels like a movie version of dim sum in the best way: high ceilings, chandeliers, big round tables full of families and friends, and carts moving through the room like a well-oiled machine. The servers are efficient, no-nonsense and don't have time for your indecision. So don't hesitate to wave them off if you're on the fence. More stuff will come around soon. And you can't really go wrong with the classics, from har gow to steamed pork buns. Solid spot for dim sum veterans and newbies alike. Also, don't let the line scare you. It moves fast. read more
As much as I have been here before, and as wonderful as a wedding celebration may be, I don't think the loud banging of the lion dance was appreciated by my family. We were in a back corner and couldn't see the show, but I think the shear volume was not appreciated. Both of my parents wear hearing aids and we couldn't carry any sort of conversation. Thankfully the banging of the cymbals wasn't until the later part of our meal. Outside of that, the food was pretty good and of course the service was accommodating for the face my niece and nephew have allergies. So they didn't complain about removing certain ingredients. I would go back for sure, but hopefully not on a night they have a banquet in the next room. read more
Good, but pricey dim sum. Went for a Sunday lunch. Went early and was sat immediately. Ordered up a bunch of different items - your typical fare. All very good. The only issue I have were the prices, feel they've gotten a lot more expensive the past couple years. Will I be back? Ya probably when I have out-of-towners looking for dim sum. But will I be back often? That's a different question and I'm not sure. read more

Had a nice meal at NBC Seafood Restaurant. The Roasted BBQ Duck was roasted with crispy skin, tender meat, and just the right amount of seasoning. The Sautéed Rock Cod Fillet with Seasonal Greens was equally well cooked with green peppers. Excellent Cantonese cooking. read more

So nostalgic to have dim sum with the push carts! Gotta love the steam that comes out of the fresh dim sum. And the waitresses telling us about the different items on the carts. What i love about the carts is that seeing the items in front of me, helps me try things I normally would not have selected on a menu. Great location for large gatherings. We have a table of 14 that they accommodated very well. The large tables are great and the staff are always checking on us. The dim sum itself is delicious. The tea is fragrant. The food is fresh and definitely made with a lot of seafood. We enjoyed all the classic dishes. And also appreciated that it comes with the sauces: hot sauce, hot mustard, chilli oil, and soy sauce. So it's a little cheaper than the competition and still good quality. read more

All the reviews are pretty accurate. I wanted to give a higher rating but the cold food and lack of carts coming over were the main detractors for me. I noticed most tables in the room asking for specific dishes or at least more carts than the same three types rotating around the room. The only time I saw a table get food delivered were an old couple who the workers somehow couldn't say no to. The wait is what you expect for a typical Dim Sum on Sunday morning. I liked the number system but would've preferred if they handed out the menu for people to pre-fill. I know that removes the idea of push carts but it was obvious the restaurant picked the 10-15 plus bigger parties to cater the cart varieties to. Multiple times all the tables in my room kept asking for the carts with tastier food like peking duck and sticky rice to stop by but not once did a cart ever come stop by. read more
One of the OG dim sum places. Fast and efficient service. Almost too fast that it's overwhelming when you don't know what half the entrees are. They were a bit aggressive in pushing plates but did listen when I refused them. Glad my Cantonese speaking friend was with us to help out Food was excellent and fresh and the place was packed at lunch time on a Monday! Would definitely go back. Very minimalist decor. More for volume of customers than ambiance but when the food is good who cares that there aren't decorations. read more
The line was long but went much faster than expected. The service was fast. The food was tasty! High turnover for patrons means fresher food. I don't know if that makes dim sum better but it did in this case. We ordered our favorites as pictured. Parking was challenging. Even with a pretty sizable lot, there was limited parking. They is an underground parking space which we had to resort to. Once dim sum hour had passed, all the parking opened up. read more
I attended a Chines New Year/Lunar New Year banquet here on 01/40/26. The year of the Fire Horse. This event was presented by the Chinese Employees Association of Los Angeles County (CEALAC). Over 340 people attended. What a great event. County Supervisor Hilda Solis and the Mayor of Monterey Park and other dignitaries. Great good and entertainment of Traditional Chinese Lion Dance and dancers entertained everyone. Event sponsors like Kaiser Healthcare, United Healthcare, The City Club and others graciously donated raffle prizes. Parking: a shared lot and a parking structure nearby. Rating: 4 Stars read more
We came for dim sum on Saturday morning around 10am as a party of 6 and was seated right away. They still use the carts which is so great but also hard to flag the right cart. We ordered quite a few things, some highlights are the char siu bao or bbq pork bao was perfectly soft and delish. The beef rice noodle roll and shrimp rice noodle roll was good. The siu mai and har gow was also really yummy. Definitely recommend coming to eat here for dim sum. The service is a bit slow but not bad. Parking lot is big but can be busy since shared with LA fitness. read more
Went here for dimsum last week on a Saturday morning - we arrived around 9:15 so there wasn't a wait when we came in. Huge dining hall definitely that Chinese restaurant dimsum vibe. We were seated by the side so we felt that most of the carts are going around in the middle area. We had to wait to find the cart we want. We got porridge and also tripe (I didn't take a photo) aside from the items we ordered (see photos). I am not sure if I didn't see all the selection or because my friend didn't like to get the usual items I get. Anyway since I haven't seen her in a while we didn't realize we dined for almost 2 hrs!!! Not the place to be as they want to turn tables here quick. As soon as we paid and stood up servers immediately cleaned up our table. My favorites- porridge, siomai, the fried taro and the creamy custard bun. read more
Still a very popular place for dim sum in the Los Angeles area, especially for a car dim sum place. While the food is good, they are on the pricier side. They do offer a nice variety of items, but they are limited (tend to be available only between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm). The variety of carts don't move around the entire restaurant enough, so you'll end up seeing the same 3 carts circling back and forth. I had to ask a supervisor to bring us plates of roast pork and roast duck after an hour into our meal. It should have to be that way. One thing I like is the old school dim sum item from the pre-1990s, Sai Yong 莎翁, Chinese Sugar Egg Puff (like a cream puff without the cream). These are delicious and bring back childhood memories. Service here was good. They were on top of refilling our ice water and teapots without asking, after our request for first rounds of refills. In the end, my post-Christmas dim sum brunch with 4 close friends was about $65 per person with tax and 20% gratuity. read more

Grew up eating at NBC. My family has been coming here for 30+ years. I always enjoyed eating at NBC, whether it be for their dinner specials or for their dim sum. Their dinner specials are honestly a good deal and they give good portions. Their food is always so good. We ordered a few things off their dinner special menu in addition to the Peking Duck. Would highly recommend ordering their Peking Duck before you order their other items since it takes a bit longer to come out, as they need to prepare it. Service is always good. We always receive our food quickly. There are plenty of tables and seating. NBC is always a hit for me and it's a classic. Can't go wrong eating here. read more
I have not been to NBC Seafood for dinner in decades. NBC is one of the last remaining traditional Cantonese banquet sized restaurants where others have gone extinct. That means if you wanted to have a large banquet dinner, the choices are fairly limited. The con is that if you are having dinner on the weekends, you may have to endure the louder than normal noise with loud mic-up speeches and music throughout the restaurant. That was true this evening where an alumni event had overtaken the restaurant. Even though we were in another semi-enclosed room, you didn't miss hearing the 20 minute lion dance performance. If the potential banquet noise doesn't bother you, NBC Seafood is actually very good for Cantonese food. Since the change in management and chefs, NBC Seafood has modernized their dinner menu and overall food quality. We particularly enjoyed the crab and fish maw soup, diced steak French Style, and the seafood with taro and pumpkin in a clay pot. The Peking Duck was served Cantonese style with steamed buns. They used the remaining duck to prepare and serve the minced duck with lettuce cup. Everything was well prepared and delicious. A complimentary red bean soup is served afterwards for dessert to end a satisfying and delicious dinner. Service was also good and fairly attentive. Parking was less stressful in their free front parking lot than in the morning with the dim sum crowd. Overall, NBC Seafood continues to offer some of the best traditional Cantonese cuisine in the area with a comfortable and pleasant ambiance in a modern banquet "hall". read more
I loved the taro gok. The outside was crispy and the inside had taro,meat and was a little salty. Which was a good thing. I liked hoe the deep fried shrimp balls come with mayo. No complaints about the shrimp roll as they taste like every dim sum place. I feel like this would be hard to mess up on. The siumai pieces were small but they give you 5 pieces. Prices are so expensive now. I remember dimsum being $3-$5 and now its $7+!! Sadness. These are one of the few places that still have the dim sum ladies pushing the carts. I felt like its been along time since ive been to one where they had them pushing carts or i just dont eat dimsum enough to notice. I do like the service. The cart ladies did not ignore us even though we were far and tucked in a corner. They also have a dimsum togo next door if you dint want to eat in the restaurant. read more
We went to NBC Seafood Restaurant for dim sum, dinner, and a banquet dinner many times, and this review is about my recent experience of the banquet dinner. I joined a singing and moon festival event that had more than 40 tables that night. Their banquet dinner was about a week ago, and it was pretty good. I had the following 9 dishes that night: 1. Special Combination Platter- It was a great combination platter with four different items, and the presentation looked nice. I especially liked the jellyfish. 8.5/10 2. Special Mix Seafood Soup or Fish Maw with Dry Scallop Soup - I forgot which soup I had that night, but it tasted great with a lot of ingredients. 9/10 3. Fried Shrimp with Honey Walnut - This dish tasted mediocre because the fried shrimp was a bit salty and tasted funky. I've had better fried shrimp with honey walnut at other places. 7/10 4. Braised Reishi Mushroom with Vegetable - A flavorful and healthy dish. It was addictive and delicious. 9/10 5. House Special Chicken - They gave us a very big portion of House Special Chicken, and they were fresh and delicious with a lot of meat. 9/10 6. Baked Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion- They gave us a generous amount of lobster meat. The taste was great! 10/10 7. Fried Rock Cod Fish Fillet with Thai Chilli Sauce- I'm not a fan of this dish. There was not much fish fillet inside, and they used too much flour. It had a thick exterior crust. 7/10 8. Yang Chow Fried Rice- The fried rice had a lot of ingredients, and it was flavorful and delicious even though we were too full and had no more room to eat. 9/10 9. Daily Dessert- Not too sweet Red bean soup. Not bad. 8/10 Overall, it was a delicious dinner. NBC is known for its great quality dim sum and banquet dinner. read more
If you're looking for a restaurant that will most likely be open on a holiday when other restaurants are closed, NBC Seafood Restaurant is where it's at! They've been around for a long time with an extensive, pretty consistent menu over the years. It's a pretty large restaurant since they can accommodate large banquets, so there's usually plenty of seating for dinner. Their Peking Duck is pretty good. The skin is nice a crispy, and it comes with steamed buns, hoisin sauce, and green onions/cilantro on a bed of shrimp chips. It comes as "1 Course" or "2 Courses" which was a little confusing because our server told us if you get the "2 Course" option, it comes with a different duck dish, not a larger portion of Peking Duck. Not sure why it's not jus stated on the menu or if the second course changes depending on the day/availability. We also like the House Special Minced Quail with Lettuce Cups. It's tasty, and they give a good amount of lettuce cups. Their vegetable dishes are pretty good. We like getting the Sauteed String Beans with Minced Pork whenever we go to Chinese restaurants. Snow Pea Leaves are always a little pricier, but they're another one of my fave vegetables to get. NBC does a pretty good job with their classic Honey Walnut Shrimp and Yang Chow Fried Rice dishes as well. read more
NBC Seafood Restaurant is a popular Chinese dim sum location in Monterey Park which rivals the other dim sum locations such as Atlantic and Capital. For the foods we got (steamed pork, fried taro with pork, duck, cold mixed jellyfish, steamed shrimp cheng fun) were solid and spot on when it came to taste. However, some of the dishes came out not as fresh. The duck was reheated and was not cooked as well. The fried taro dish was also not as crispy -- I'm guessing that it sat on the cart for some time. Service was quick and the waiters with carts came to check in on us often. 10/10 service. Ambiance also was great as it was well lit with chandeliers. Overall, not a bad experience, but I would prefer if food was fresher. read more
This is my go to dimsum place. Yes, it is super crowded. Yes, there are plenty of tables. Yes, everything is fresh. Yes, it's filled with noisy sounds of families, servers, food carts. Everything is super tasty but not the most affordable. That said, it is worth the extra $$. They also have just take out in the take out shop next door. New to the take out shop are 2 kiosks! Welcome to the digital world. Personally I prefer the old school paper menu but you need to know what to check off. read more

Came here with my work family for lunch and we got one of their many FAMILY LUNCH set menus. They have 8 different ones on their website. They told us we did have to add more $$ bc it wouldn't be enough food. So we did add a couple of dishes too and it was way too much food for 12 people. The pricing initially was pretty good for 10 items too. They will add service fee already for a large party. But good came pretty quick during weekday lunch hour. $338.00 僅限午餐 Lunch Only 點心: Dim Sum Platter 蝦餃 蟹皇燒賣 三絲春卷 百花蔗蝦 Har Gow ,Sui Mai, Egg Roll and Shrimp Paste on sugar Cane 雞絲魚肚羹 Chicken with Fish Maw Soup 京都片皮鴨 Roasted Whole Peking Duck 碧綠魚柳 Pan Fried Fish Fillet with Vegetable ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREE Parking is a large shared lot with other businesses in the area but if you don't mind walking 30 seconds, you'll find parking everywhere that is not 5 steps from the entrance. Restrooms were pretty bright and clean. Service overall was decent too. We did have to keep asking for hot tea to be refilled and for waters bc they were not as attentive once we started eating. Overall - still a pretty good meal even if you're not just eating dimsum. The interior is very large with lots of tables of various sizes. read more
I am giving this place a 5 star rating, given it's one of the very FEW dim sum places that still have carts, and the food is outstanding. My last visit was over 10 years ago, still same old dining room but with added giant wall TVs giving it a more modern vibe. Arrived before 11am Saturday, easy parking, no wait for a table! Chicken feet, fried shrimp balls, fried taro puffs, shrimp and chive dumplings, steamed bbq pork buns, steamed black bean spareribs, siu mai, shrimp paste stuffed bell pepper, 2 kinds of pan-fried dumplings -- all very good, except for the cold chinese broccoli. Nearby Atlantic Seafood Restaurant also has carts, but NBC has better dim sum in my opinion. Very good service too for water, tea and new clean plates! Will come back again soon. read more

They have a new machine that takes your order. Very easy to use. Nice upgrade. You have to take your receipt to the register and pay otherwise they don't prepare your order. They also have the old paper menus available if u don't want to use the machines. read more
Was in need of dim sum for brunch and as a traditional- food enthusiast i went to NBC as it was also recommended from a friend. Venue: traditional and huge dim sum venue that can accommodate any occasion. Food: traditional - tried all various dimsum dishes. I really liked the black been pork rib as usual as it is one my favorite dish to order - this place had it the best!. I loved and got what I came for, transitional - authentic taste with many dishes. I was very much disappointed with the duck which was cold and extremely chewy and tough as if it was sitting on cart for long. Also we asked for the donut to be hot telling them I can wait for cook to order and was ensured by aunty - however, we got cold product Service: well Chinese aunties hustling type of service. Price: typical dim sum price. Didn't think it was over priced or good price. Well- this is type of place I may come back but will try other venues first before I do read more
This restaurant has some of the best, most authentic dim sum in town. It's best to go in a large group so you can taste many dishes. It's also worth noting that to get a private room, your group has to spend $500. You can fit about 12 to the table in the smaller private room. They have other size rooms. They also have many smaller tables in the general dining area. The servers do go around with their carts to see if you want what they're carrying. Of course, they have the classics like Shu Mai and all the other dumplings, they have the red Char Siu pork and the rib bones, plus all the fried stuff. They have Baked and steamed bao, and also pork belly with perfect crispy upper layer skin. But that's not all, feel free to order any of their main dishes like lobster and Peking duck, even mid morning on a weekend. I recommend the minced duck with lettuce cups and the crispy duck skin on a bed of shrimp chips with the steamed bread and plum sauce. The garlic lobster is also a standout dish. Again, you can really only sample many dishes in a large group. The service is great and the staff is all smiles. They're very efficient, so communicate what you want and you won't have to wait long. read more

Ask the Community - NBC Seafood Restaurant
Is dim sum served all day with cart service?
Cart service from opening through lunch.
How much is their dim sum now?
Back in July. Can't be too far off https://yelp.to/YvZhGhB8ZD
Hello what time is take out dim sum next door open?
I believe it is 8 am - 5 pm. But around 3 pm the chefs take a break from cooking so they may not make the entrees at that time if you order dishes. But dim sum is available.
Hi! Does anyone know if NBC Seafood is open on Thanksgiving and Christmas?
Yes of course they will be open on holidays
What time is dim sum served until?
I seldom eat inside the restaurant now but I believe no much later than 3 o4 4 pm. However you can always get dim sum takeout at their takeout storefront next to the restaurant and that is opened until 5 pm.
So they still have special weekday dinner menu?
I believe so. My friend always order from the specials when she comes out to LA and visits NBC, her favorite restaurant for dinner. I frequently do takeout from the specials menu which is available all day I guess. But sometimes I am disappointed… Read more
How is Parking?
There is a large, free communal parking lot with some other businesses. The lot was busy for morning dim sum, but we found spots for us and our friends.
How much does a dim sum meal @NBC cost, per person?
Estimate about $20-25 per person.
Dim sum here daily?
Yes. Every day until 1:30pm and right next door they have a take away all day dim sum.
Are the dim sum options different on Friday vs Saturday? Last time on a Tuesday they said some options were only available on the weekend.
Weekends are the busiest days so it's a full kitchen and full restaurant. During the week, they don't get the same busy crowd so they will only make the popular items. Hope that helps even though none of us on Yelp are affiliated with the… Read more
Do they serve dim sum all day or just in the morning?
No, from when they open to about 3:00pm. However, I don't suggest being there around 3pm as the selection will be minimum as they're closing shop for dinner.
As of October 25 2022 do they still have cart service and do they take reservations.for 10 for dim sum?
Yes, they still have dim sum push carts. That's one thing I love about this place and the hardworking ladies pushing them. I am not sure if they take reservations on the phone. For dim sum it is typically "first come, first serve" just like any… Read more
