This place is great. Carry out only at this time. They have a full menu. I have been going there for a long time and love their combo meals.

My mom is a regular here and I just wanted to comment that today, the tables were not full after 1pm. There was no reason for the food to have taken so long to cook or bring out to the table. We were there almost...Read More

We tried their dim sum and steamed fish. The food and experience is great! The tofu pudding with ginger syrup is also very refreshing. Great for a chilly winter!

Had been here three times and Uber eats once, I would say it's the best spicy (call it spicy coz it has both HuNan and Szechuan dishes) Chinese food in the area. Attentive services and reasonably priced.

Good good, friendly service and a lot of options to choose from. The platter options are very good (2/3/5/.. items etc.). A good number of options are available even for vegetarians.

This place has really gone downhill. The fried dimsum we ordered (ham sui gok) was fishy and super oily. Not edible. The shrimp dumpling skin texture tasted like it was in the microwave too long and the shrimp tasted old. The pineapple bun was way...Read More

I went there this evening for the first time. I ordered a pretty standard dinner special and the chicken was way overcooked and dry. It was fried, but it was like having it fried twice. More than a couple were too tough to even...Read More

I was super excited to find a resturant open until 1:30 AM in Troy and not just junk food like McDonalds. So I drove right over and ordered. They took my order right away and spoke with me while I waited. There was a large...Read More

Stuffed bean curd roll were as delicious, steam pork rib and curry baby squid were also solid. Other dishes we ordered (eggplant, string beans, noodles) were not as noteworthy, but I'd definitely go for the dim sum! The restaurant was elegant, and the service was...Read More

I really don't like giving 1 stars to places, but I have no choice here. First, we waited by the door/counter area very awkwardly for over 5 minutes. No one came over or greeted us and there were no signs on...Read More

Amazing dim sum! Great selection of delicious, fresh food. I went with a family who used to live in China, and they said the food was very authentic. The chicken feet were good but spicy. The don tat and pork dumplings in particular were delicious.

This place has had a very storied and controversial past, and it looks like it's demons are still haunting it. The atmosphere was like a poor attempt at mimicking a 1960's shopping mall with the same coldness and stark panels on the walls. Only Dim...Read More

Good Dim Sum with carts. If you don't see something, just I asked and they probably have it. Staff pushing carts have personal protective gear to protect the food being served. Staff who speak English are happy to help. Many staff do not speak good...Read More

Surprisingly good! I grew up in Toronto eating really good dim sum, so I came with pretty low expectations, but wow! It reminded me of home! A bit expensive compared to Toronto though, but the quality was pretty close to it. It was even better...Read More

Excellent food, very traditional northern Chinese cuisine. Generous portions, fresh vegetables and warm flavors. Not the typical American/Chinese fare. Prices for dinner on the higher side but as expected with the quality of the food. Lazy Susan in the center of the table...Read More

Real dim sum on carts everyday. This is authentic Chinese cuisine. Have been there multiple times never had any problems, the staff is friendly and the turn over on the carts during lunch is quick. Highly recommend.

Excellent food -- basically every dish we had for our Chinese New Year meal was really good. Seasoning was well-done (not overly salted), flavors were fresh and bright. Especially good was the pork with black bean sauce.
