There's only 8-10 tables, with one large table. I was told this place only has one waiter/ cashier. So you need to bring your patience when you eat at Suily's Cafe. I spotted something on the menu I just had to try......"Hong Tao Yee Won Ton Soup." It is rare to find this style of Won Ton Soup in a Chinese restaurant. But Suily's Cafe has a unique way to serve it. They serve the hot soup and the deep fried won ton dumplings separately. You add them as you eat, and they stay crispy. The thick soup was loaded with egg, tofu, cilantro, mushrooms, and green onion. OMG, the soup was boiling HOT! I had to gently sip it. Then gradually I added the crispy won tons. Wow, the ten dumplings loaded the bowl. These plump won tons and the thick soup made for a satisfying meal. Price: $12.00, serves 1-2 ppl. Yes, I would definitely return if I was in the area. Note: The restroom is way in the back, pass the kitchen. Meter parking on the street. There's a Walgreen's shopping plaza across the street.

Another guest was waiting for their take-out order. One server working the front of the house. Service was minimal but efficient at the same time. She brought us everything we asked for immediately. The menu is fairly large, but we still managed to order variations of dishes not listed on the menu. Most Chinese restaurants will accommodate a guest request so long as they have the ingredients and they know how to compose the dish. How they work out the pricing may be something else. At the table immediately behind my mom, I heard the guest ordering a Hot & Sour Soup, add Won Ton. One of my favorite mash-ups! We ended up having a very nice conversation over lunch. Of course, we ordered the same soup and the price they charged was a reasonable $16.95. I've had some places try to charge me for two soups which I think is ridiculous. We also ordered a Seafood Chow Mein and a Chicken Dry Fried Chow Fun with Yau Chow Sum. All three dishes came out nice and hot. The flavors were on point very satisfying. I goofed and didn't a picture of the Chow Fun because it came out last and I was already tucking into my Chow Mein. Mom enjoyed it so we'll be back!

Ordering was easy, the staff were genuinely warm and accommodating, and the food came out in about 10 minutes! No complaints on the service side at all. Honestly, the team here was a highlight. The food, however, was a bit hit or miss. What I'd recommend: Honey Walnut Prawns: The clear standout of the meal. Well executed, good flavor, and the shrimp were a generous size. If you come here, get this. What I'd skip: Fujian Fried Rice: Unfortunately pretty disappointing. The texture was mushy and it lacked flavor throughout. Wouldn't order again. Deep Fried Flounder: Way too heavily battered. The thick coating of flour overpowered everything and there wasn't much flavor coming through underneath. Could be a solid dish with a lighter touch. Seafood Pan-Fried Crispy Noodle: Decent enough but pretty flat on flavor. Just okay. Deep Fried Fish Balls: The flavor was actually there, which was a plus, but they were a bit overcooked and came out harder than they should have been. Overall, the service genuinely saved the experience. The staff were great and the vibe was pleasant. But the food didn't quite land for me and I likely won't be back. If you do go, stick to the Honey Walnut Prawns and maybe explore some dishes I didn't try.

I was pleasantly surprised to quickly find a parking spot without circling the lot. But, despite…read moremaking reservations and confirming days in advance, the receptionist made us wait in line for a number. That said, the wait was only a few minutes for a 1:00 PM Friday lunch. I can live with that. We were shown to a middle table surrounded by other diners, but able to sit comfortably without bumping into anyone. We could get in and out of our seats without doing gymnastics or mortal combat - a problem in the past here. The ambience was festive without being explosively loud. Wce could actually hold meaningful conversation - such a lovely surprise! The furnishings could have done with some upgrading (carpets and decor felt a bit shabby). But the lighting was comfortable - I was grateful not to have glaring fluorescent fixtures illuminating us and the food. Service was unusually attentive, as I was accustomed to being abandoned by wait staff after putting in our orders in the past. I suspect they recognized our guests, two prominent and beloved retired local politicians. The variety and creativity of their dim sum was the best I've tasted in years. No ubiquitous dumpling fillings here! No gummy gravies or sauces. Each flavor was distinct, unique and scrumptious. Two rice roll dishes were the standouts. One had green spinach in the rice noodle and a crunchy, but chewy texture with the shrimp filling. The cha siu roll was generously filled and included a light sauce reminiscent of that used in cha siu bows. Every dish was fresh, sporting beautiful vibrant colors, with delicious sauces for each item. Servings were generous and satisfying. The roast duck was to die for and quickly devoured. After a hideous dinner banquet here years ago, (overpriced, slow and bad service, food served cold with sauces congealed, days-old rock cod passed off as "live from the tank", lobsters too tough to cut or eat), I had avoided coming back to Koi Palace until this current meal. Thankfully, this experience restored my faith and I will be returning more often. I am glad, because I've been following the chefs / owners for decades and admired their food since their Happy Valley hot pot days at Levi Plaza. Long live Koi Palace! I'm glad I gave it another chance.

Things started okay as we ordered a few lamb skewers as an appetizer which were a little tough, but had a nice cumin and spicy flavor. However, the main course was the biggest disappointment. We ordered three noodle soups and beef chow mein, and they were all extremely bland. In particular, the two fish noodle soups tasted almost identical despite one supposedly having green peppercorn and the other having pickled vegetable. Both were very under-salted and had very little flavor. The chow mein was equally bland, and the noodles were also very mushy and overcooked. I have never found myself reaching for the soy sauce at restaurants, but I did this time, not that it helped much. Overall, the meal felt very unsatisfying. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items (maybe we should have tried their signature dry pots?) but after this experience, I'm not keen to give this place a second chance.

We got a short rib dry pot, beef noodle soup, fried rice, various skewers, spicy wontons, and cucumber salad. Short rib dry pot was just okay, the meat itself was a bit chewy and it was pretty oily. The potatoes were a let down almost tasted like soggy fries rather than actual cut potatoes. Beef noodle soup was lacking in flavor as well and the meat tasted on the lower quality side. Beef, scallop, chicken skin/heart skewers were pretty flavorful and had some good smokiness to them, but the lamb skewers weren't up to par with the others. The chilli wontons were pretty good, plump, juicy, and had a strong spicy kick to them. Fried rice was exceptional, ended up ordering an extra order. Overall I think the quality of some of the dishes has gone a bit downhill from when they first opened.

They are located in a strip mall near several different food places, bakery, and a bowling alley. This is a solid dim sum place, with no frills and reasonable prices. You order off a printed menu that's in Chinese with tiny English subtitles. You can also order off their regular menu if you want to supplement the dim sum dishes. Their food is very good, and some dishes were excellent. The service was pretty quick, and before we knew it, all our dishes were out with almost no room on the lazy Susan. The standouts for me were: + Steamed custard buns (piggy buns) - I ordered these for the kiddies, but dang they are so good. The custard filling is so velvety, it's almost like pudding. I think I detected a hint of coconut too - yum. + Beef chow fun - this had a really good wok flavor and the noodles were less wide than most. The noodles didn't clump either, and the bean sprouts were still crispy. + Roasted pork belly - the skin was so crispy and the pork was juicy. We ordered most of the basic dishes like har gaw, sui mai, noodle rolls, turnip cake, stuffed eggplant, chicken feet, etc. and they were all above average. My only complaint is if you don't read Chinese, the menu is a little hard to navigate. The English subtitles are so small that if you're looking for something, you have to scan the front and back of the menu trying to find the item. I was looking for sticky rice in lotus leaf, but found sticky rice roll and thought it was the same thing. It wasn't. The sticky rice roll was not bad, but I found the rice drier than when it's in lotus leaf. We ordered a few things by mistake because the English subtitles were not that descriptive. Overall, a great alternative to more popular places like Koi Palace. The menu may not be as creative as Koi, but you don't have to deal with the lines and you still get great food.

We tried the BBQ Pork pastry, and it was flaky, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet and savory--definitely recommend that one. Overall, we enjoyed almost everything we ordered. The only miss for us was one of the fried fish dishes and the green onion mantou, which was just okay. Would we come back? Absolutely. The service was efficient, the portions generous, and the food solid. Great spot if you're looking for dim sum that delivers on quality without the usual weekend chaos.
