An old Cantonese restaurant that has been open for 18 years. The seafood is on sale and is delicious and cost-effective. The desserts after the meal are also delicious. The dry fried beef noodles are good. I recommend everyone to come and eat.

The deluxe seafood pot, packed with abalone, sea cucumber, and fish maw, was rich and satisfying. We also enjoyed the refreshing almond-watercress soup....Read More

Pretty good! So many parties waiting for a table but it moves very quickly. We had 12 parties ahead of us and we probably waited 20 minutes. Dim sum is dim sum. The tripe here is really good though. That stood out.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere, perfect for gathering with friends. We went for the first time yesterday, and the food was authentic Cantonese. I really liked their chicken dish—it was a pleasant surprise to find shrimp stuffed inside!

One of my favorite places for dimsum. I've been coming here since I was in high school. The place hasn't changed a bit. Still the same taste. They do tend to be a little pushy with dishes that doesn't sell well though which is why...Read More
