First time here and not disappointed.The place itself looks a bit run down and one dining area is used for storage.Ignoring that,the food was top notch.Steamed dumplings were great.A small bowl of hot and sour with pork was a meal in itself.And then the egg foo young arrived.The two of us couldn't get through this extremely tasty dish.Amazing value and the staff were very helpful,patient and understanding.Will definitely return.

We came here last year and decided to turn it into a Christmas Day tradition. Fairly certain we are not alone in this. It was again packed, with a very diverse crowd, speaking at least three languages. Some changes we noted happily from last year: the front of house staff was even more "on it" and very pleasant; the dishes came a touch faster (we believe the chef still completes one table at a time, more like a line chef, so you will get everything at once, fyi - which is fine!); nice attention to presentation this year, the sesame balls came out looking like a lotus flower, the shrimp and tofu appetizers were very attractive and intriguing. Chef comes out himself sometimes, maybe he had help in the kitchen this year? It was hard to tell. Funny that they still keep all the Mexican themed decorations from the prior business. It's a good spot.

Came here for dim sum with my parents. The Hong Kong style noodles were delicious, get them crunchy. The soup dumplings were delicious as well. Love that it is convenient to order via an app.
