Premium quality ingredients at a premium price with professional service in an upscale setting. Enjoyed all the dishes we ordered quite a bit from the fried green beans, BBQ pork buns, peking duck is a must get, scallops with eggplant stir-fried was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Beef fried noodles were extremely tasty, good noodle texture, good amounts of protein. Wouldnt hesitate to come back if you wanted to have an outing with friends and were craving Chinese food. Didnt make any reservations and was able to be seated without a wait on Tuesday at 6:30pm.

Excellent service and atmosphere, but quality of food is not up to the price. I would rate 3.5/5 to the food.We paid $80 for 2 people (after tax and tips)

Pretty delicious dim sum, but also pretty expensive.

Items ordered:Mongolian beefShrimp and pork siu maiPecking duck with lotus bunChowmein beefThe Mongolian beef was good but oily. The chowmein and the siu mai were very average. The pecking duck with lotus bun tasted really good but had a slightly high price point for the quantity served.ServiceThe servers were prompt but slightly impolite. They weren’t able to answer our queries about the dishes.Overall, I think the place was very costly compared to what the place had to offer. So feel free to skip!Note: You will be charged for the tea served at the start of the order. So politely refuse for the tea if you don’t want it.

We’ve ordered fried rice, salt and pepper fish, and sweet and sour chicken. The food are nicely cooked and prepared. The fish was surprisingly have a nice crisp outside and soft inside. The sweet and sour chicken was prepared with an actual pineapple shell. However, considering the portion size we didn’t expect to pay more than $120 for 3-4 entrees.

Came here for a family gathering. I was pleased with the quality and service. Wed gotten one of the best fish Ive tasted for a long time. All the dimsum items were delicately made with craftsmanship. The waitor was courteous. We had a very good time.

My friend told me about dim sum but I had no idea what I was getting into. Meaning this was a first time experience. Talk about unbelievable food and service. The food was very fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked. I dont think Ive ever had such great seafood. Pair with their jasmin tea, it was all smiles. The prices are up there but you get what you paid for and totallt worth it for a first time. Parking is tight, they have outdoor/indoor dining, follow covid protocols with clean environment.

Im guessing Tai Pan has a new chef coz the food quality is much better from years past. It is truly Hong Kong style dim sum as I know it as a child.Always a fave for dim sum in the neighborhood!
