If I could give negative stars for the service, I would. This is the worst service i have ever received at a restaurant. Servers would walk away as we were talking to them as if we were a disturbance. Half the things we ordered were good, and the other half was stale and dry. I would not come back to this place or ever recommend it.

For the Gardena area, still a reliably tasty dim sum restaurant. Half the restaurant cordoned off during covid, so only the left side is open for dim sum. Still a dozen tables of diners here for lunch today.

Atmosphere was excellent and so was the food and service. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and egg rolls. My girlfriend ordered Lamb stew with vegetables.

This restaurant was a beautiful surprise and I wish it was located near me. As an immigrant from Hong Kong, I can tell you that it is one of the premier Cantonese restaurant I’ve ever experienced. My meals were not pricey, and all of the flavors were well balanced. The vegetables were fresh. I have eaten there two nights in a row and tomorrow will be the last evening before I return home. Dining there has been such a relief after very long days. It is quiet, clean, bright, and comfortable. I have nothing but praise for them.

First time here, confused by the whole thing cause first time I had dim sum usually someone else ordered it. Luckily the staff are very helpful and helped me order the food my friend suggested to get.

Dim sum dumpling skin is thick and tasteless. The clams were not fresh and seemed spoiled, so I spat them out.

We had dim sum lunch, and what a horrible turn the restaurant has taken. Portions were tiny, nothing was fresh, everything seemed like it was reheated after sitting for a long time. Unimpressive service, but super expensive $25+/person with tea, tax & tip. I ended up purging after I got home, NEVER going back.

Very disappointed over-all!!! Went for dim sum on Sunday during lunch on memorial weekend. The food was VERY cold and tasteless. Shrimp was so cold that the skin could not be peeled off. Asked server for new one but she just reheated and brought it back. Dumpling soup was cold and dry with no soup inside. Very expensive place. Our dim sum size duck dish was $25 and the crispy pork dish was almost $30! Our bill came up to $142 (not including tip) Ridiculous!

Old school dim sum, where the carts roam the dining room. This food is good as is the selection. The service is superior, where everyone is very attentive.
