    Good Chinese food in an old theatre house. Feels very grand to sit down and eat at. Very low cost meal (and $6 cocktails!). I’d recommend trying 1 dish for 2 people though as they give large portions; if you find one dish isn’t enough, they bring out the dishes fairly quickly so you can order after the first one comes out.

    We ordered 10 dishes and none of them were good. The dining room being mostly empty should have been a sign but the staff was very welcoming so we sat down. Walking deeper into Chinatown later we realized where the good places are. The bill was in Chinese characters so we could not even verify it was correct.

    A whole new dimsum experience for me. You need to sit with friends or family for hours and hours to enjoy it. They carry the dimsum on the cart and go around the restaurant. Pick from the cart or order big portion of duck, soup, etc from the kitchen.

    Came for Sunday dim sum with my family. We ordered the classics, crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, siu mai, congee, rice rolls with beef, and then tried honeycomb tripe and fish balls. It was okay, but nothing was really that stellar; the clear wrapper for the shrimp dumplings was kind of mushy (the quality of this wrapper is how a lot of Chinese people judge dim sum restaurants and it should be chewy and not fall apart), the honeycomb tripe didn't have that much flavor, and a lot of the dishes offered didn't seem that hot or fresh.

    Great dim sum! Lots of choices -- pork, seafood, dumpling, buns, sticky rice -- anything you could want. Would definitely eat here again and recommend to friends.
