On a Friday at 11:30am, we were able to get a table for 10 without waiting. Their dim sum menu is extensive. At the same time, it is confusing with so many choices. This is coming from a native Cantonese dim sum connoisseur. We ended up asking a waitress to help us order instead of filling out the dim sum brochure. The food come out quickly. There weren’t anything spectacular and mostly decent. The shrimp dumplings were tasteless. The salt and pepper crab was on the small side compared to PPQ’s. I did enjoy the spacious seating and low noise level. Service was excellent.

I guess this is as good as it gets in San Francisco. No prior bookings so waited about 30mins for a table on a Sunday. Which is considered fast. A very big and popular Chinese restaurant that can sit up 4xx paxs.

Was here for lunch but customer Service is bad, and still impose 15% service charge on me, and the food wasn’t the best, more like reheat from already cooked dim sum… I used to like coming here but not anymore. And it’s illegal to impose service charge on customers, we can report or file complaint yo NCH or CCPA. If the service is attentive and excellent then I don’t mind paying 15-20% tips/service charge. But I was very disappointed.

Foods were good but a bit pricey. Not a best dim sum restaurant in Bay Area but better than most of the others. Service was good. Long wait on weekends. Restroom is quite messy sometimes. Parking is ok.

Good Chinese restaurant with a lot of different options to choose from. It’s on the pricy side (~$20+ per dish).

This location is better than the one near San Mateo and more parking spaces. The dim sum is pretty authentic and unique where you wouldn’t see them at other places. They have the basic dim sum down but you should definitely try something that are less traditional here. Expect long wait but service is good and the restaurant is clean.

It’s one of my favorite dimsum places. The best time to visit is right whe they open. It gets full very fast. The food is amazing. The price is quite high now. All the items we order taste so yummy. It is always best to visit with a big group of friends and families so you can try many items.

Overall, we had a better experience here than the one in Milpitas. It’s probably the best Cantonese place we have tried in the US so far, very legit.

Here for the first time, entering the restaurant was a profound experience. It reminds me of when Koi Palace first opened, and diners quickly realized what the art of the possible was for the interior design of a Chinese restaurant.
