2023-10-30 06:47:43So crowded on the weekends, it’s a huge restaurant though so waiting for a table wasn’t so bad. 2 people table wait was really fast but unfortunately we got sat next to where they clear plates so it was loud and smelly.Good dimsums: tripe in the gravy, shuimai, rice rolls, chicken feet were not badNot worth getting was the pineapple chaoshao bun because it was so dense and the chaoshao was really fat.

2022-11-27 20:19:38One of my favorite Chinese seafood restaurants. The king crab, lobster and steamed fish are to die for. They are fresh from the tank. Food is delicious and service is great. Be sure to ask for the chef special dessert. The special clam and geo-duck stir fry with snow peas is another to-die-for item. Dim sum is tasty and available until late afternoon. Nice restaurant for wedding banquets, birthday parties or other events.

2022-12-01 05:38:10One of my favorite places for dimsum. Ive been coming here since I was in high school. The place hasnt changed a bit. Still the same taste. They do tend to be a little pushy with dishes that doesnt sell well though which is why I give it a 3 star for the service. Other than that, I love the place. I recommend the steamed pork ribs, chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and egg tarts.

2021-03-15 20:35:06Update:Opened for indoor dining today. We were one of the first ones to patron this restaurant. The restaurant has taken all COVID-19 measures to ensure the safety of their customers. I felt safe to dine here.The waiters seemed to be eager to please their customers and we got very good services from them. Foods came out very fast. We ordered our dim sum and the they came out in less than 5 minutes.This restaurant had mediocre dim sum as I remember it before the pandemic. Today, the dim sum seemed to be outstanding. I think they have changed their dim dim chefs. The steam BBQ pork buns were exceptionally tasty with the fluffy buns. I also like their egg tarts which offered flaky crust and soft egg custard fillings. The best one we had today should be their Chinese sponge cake.Besides dim sum, the restaurant also offered lunch special dishes which included all my favorite Chinese foods such as Kang boa chicken, sweet and sour pork, string beans with minced pork and more. The prices were very reasonable ranging from $7 to $10.I understand they also open for dinner indoor dining. We will be back to try their dinner dishes soon.“End of the update”Good value food. Typical Cantonese restaurant with good dim sums and ok banquet dishes. Typically we come here for dim sum. This time, we had our early CHINESE New Year celebration banquet here. There are a few dishes on special promotions. For the Crab and lobster, you can a dish of one of these seafoods for $6 a pound if you spend over certain amount in the restaurant. The crab is very tasty with garlic in steam. All other dishes are the usual Cantonese style. For banquet, you will get a good value out of this restaurant.

2019-09-14 18:47:04One of the best authentic dim sum in Los Angeles area. Located in Alhambra 28 minutes away from downtown LA. Prices are affordable and they usually a long line during weekend. Its combination of authentic Chinese and Taiwanese food. From steamed chicken feet to toffu dessert they have it all.

2023-01-03 19:50:25Dim Sum is good but it is lack of variety dessert. Mainly this restaurant has more salty food than sweet stuff. Todays dim sums either are too salty and too fishy. The fried toro dumplings are so fishy that I couldnt eat them. Shrimp and chives dumplings are salty. The char siu bao which the filling tastes dry n not juicy.

2019-12-25 07:03:19We had dinner here on Christmas Eve. We ordered 3 dishes. They were: Yang Chow fried rice, Pork chop with Peking sauce and Walnut mayonnaise shrimp. All 3 dishes were very good. The fried rice dish may have been the best. The food was better than I thought it would be. The place is ok from the outside, but actually much nicer inside. These big Chinese places are not known for their attentive service and this place was no exception. It was sometimes difficult to find our waiter. Yet the waiters food suggestions were excellent. The food is very good and the atmosphere nice. I would come back again. Portion sizes were also generous.
