A new experience for me. They come around with carts loaded with food, and you choose what you like. I was there late, at 14:00 , I am sure that is why it was empty. Except for a few Asian customers. Which I always think is good.

Lovely experience. I went here for dim sum on a Sunday with family. We were looking for a traditional style dim sum with carts after Hei La Moon moved, and we were not disappointed. The food was immediate delicious and hot. The turnip cakes are my absolute favorite. They automatically bring tea to the table, and will refill upon request. There were a few tables open, but Sunday morning is the busiest time of the week. The space itself is gorgeous and colorful, it’s worth going just to experience. We did not see a cart for tapioca coconut milk soup, so we asked for that. The staff speak enough English to explain what meat is in things, but it is difficult with dietary restrictions. This is not a good place to go as a vegetarian.

I was there at around 12-1pm and there were only about 10 tables occupied. The chicken feet was the best of all the four dishes I picked from the cart. The steamed tofu wrapped dim sum was decent, not the best I’ve ever had, but it was fine, just a tad bland. The fried one was cold and not crispy. The beef tripe tasted slightly sour, which is a sign that it wasn’t fresh, so I pretty much didn’t eat that. They’ll give you free water but for tea it’ll be about $1.5 or so extra. For about $6 per dish, I don’t think I will go back. Convenient location and nice restaurant setting tho, but the food quality is meh.

Very Chinese authentic experience. In the mornings on the weekdays they have a great system of a waiter coming with a cart and asking if you want one of the dishes they have and pulls it out right away. At night it’s more of a standard restaurant experience. Overall it was fun to go there for the experience and the atmosphere!

I am so sorry to give a one stars for this restaurant. Food is terrible serve in my opinion, and the taste also lower than standart. Service is not outstanding because they have a huge seat plan and only 2 waiters served. Location is prime

Interesting interior, since it was a former theater. The dim sum was very average, and a lot of it seemed premade and reheated. The fried fish was stale. This is a visit once and never again type deal.

Taste is ok, but be aware of the fried rice, usually people use overnight(s) to do the fried rice, the beef fried rice I had (you could see my attached picture), the rices are too hard for people who has periodontal (every bite I had, I had to use my tongue to test before I chew … really afraid one bite will take my weak teeth out of my mouth, if it’s really happen, should the restaurant pay for the dental) …service is not really good … feeling pushed and imposed … just checked they tip themselves for a few dollars more than the original one signed … great fraud …

Not reccomended for a quick lunch for one. You’ll be overwhelmed by number of servers annoyingly offering you more and more, plus no menu with prices. But food was good, very tasty dim sums.

Hospitality was lacking and felt forced. service seemed like we were inconveniencing the staff. Lo mein was dry and flavorless but portion was large. Too much for one person. I wasn’t a fan of the dumplings or the dim sum. The wrappings were too thick. Beef buns were good.

Good dim sum and slow service at times. The best servers are the young lady with the shoulder length hair and the young tall man with the glasses. When I have one of them as a server, the service is a 5+. When I don’t have them as servers, service can be slow.
