“ First and foremost, I liked the food. I went there for Dim Sum on a rainy day, by some miracle I found a parking space right in front. The place is in a city-like setting with only street parking as far as I could tell. This was the only downside as I bet at busier times it's probably hard to find parking. With that said that was the only real drawback I found. The dim sum items were very fresh tasting as was the seafood contained inside. The clams in black bean sauce were not the least bit rubbery and had a fresh consistency and nice blackbean sauce taste. The dumplings I had were shrimp and scallops, they were moon shaped and quite large, as well as fresh-tasting seafood inside. Same held true for the shark fin dumplings, although the filling there was probably pork, not dry in the least inside. We had about 9 dishes in total and there were no losers. As far as ambiance goes, well let's just say you are there for the food, nothing wrong here, but if you are looking for a high-end experience this is not the place, its purpose is dim sum and seafood, and does those items well, but you are not going here for the atmosphere. The wait staff were all helpful and the food came out quickly, the staff helped us get started ordering, as they give us a marker and you write your order right on the plastic menu with erasable ink. The staff and customer base are all Chinese and speak it. My dining partner speaks fluently, so no issue for us, but I don't think I heard any English in our vicinity, other than us. This place is legit and authentic dim sum is what you will get, I am looking forward to returning for some more. I will have to try it a couple of more times to determine if it's my new favorite, but either way it's up there, near the top of my list. ”
“ A go-to restaurant for my family for dim sum or Chinese-style seafood. It does get pretty crowded and loud inside sometimes because the restaurant is on the smaller side. You order dim sum off a menu, rather than the push carts. They also have specials posted on the walls as well as fresh seafood, and standard Chinese dinner fare as well. Service is pretty quick. ”
“ Stopped by here with the family to enjoy some dim sum. It was very busy but we only waited about 15 minutes for a table to open up. Not your typical place where there are food carts roaming around, we ordered off the menu which luckily had pictures as well. Everything came out hot and fresh, and very tasty. Service was good and staff were friendly. We will definitely come back here. ”
“ My family's go-to for dim sum in the area. Consistent quality and good variety of standard dim sum items. Go early when it opens at 10am. It's pretty packed by 11:30am. All items are made to order. $1 per person tea surcharge but they didn't charge for the kids. Eating utensils, cups, plates are clean. Limited on-street parking. ”
“ Good dim sum at decent prices. Seems like a traditional spot where you know the service won't be great, but the food will. ”
“ Throw back spot. Hadn't been in along time but when they first opened went all the time. Dimsum's and dinner. Got a chance to stop back in recently for a family engagement dinner. The food came out quick, authentic and tasty. They also made sure kids allergens were NOT included in the food like the walnuts for walnut shrimp/mayo. We had few courses, beers and good conversations catching up with the family. Reserved 3 big tables, had the kiddos running back and forth between tables and it was a good time. Thanks! ”
“ My go to place for dimsum. No other place compares! I always get their: -shrimp rice rolls: you CANNOT skip this!! They make it so perfectly here. The wrapping is so silky soft with a bit of chew and plump shrimp inside. -shrimp and pork shu mai: they're so fat and juicy! The flavor is perfect. I love how they have shiitake mushroom inside of these. -har gow: they don't use any fillers here, pure delicious shrimp dumplings with the chewy skin! You know it's fresh by looking at the skin -fried shrimp and chive dumpling: again, if you've noticed a trend by now, they're very generous with their fillings! Look at how big they are! I don't have any complaints about any of their dimsum dishes. I happily drive 1 hour to this place! ”
“ Always great dim sum at decent prices. The best shrimp dumplings to boot. Their pan fried chive dumplings come in three and are filled with pork, shrimp, and chives. They don't really do the push carts anymore and you mark up a menu of what you want. Being able to order and eat fried squid at 10am is such a guilty pleasure. I hate their entrance because the two doors create a vacuum that makes it impossible to get in and out. ”
“ Dim sum breakfast! Yes please! Finally ventured out to Quincy in search of some good dim sum and we found it! We were craving dim sum for breakfast so we arrived at the restaurant as soon as it opened. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables for big and small groups. We were quickly seated once we arrived but the restaurant was already bustling with action. We were given a picture menu along with a list menu and a sharpie pen. The ordering process was very simple. There are no ladies pushing carts of dishes instead you circle the dishes you want on the list menu and hand over your order to the waiters. We wanted sumai for sure, Chinese broccoli, pork bao, and we were curious to try the Taro dumplings and some specialty dumplings that had to our surprise whole peanuts inside. Everything came out nice and hot and at the same time. The sumai was our favorite! It was packed with flavor and hit the spot. The bao was also nice and fluffy and very tasty. The Taro dumplings were ok, not our favorite but we gave them a shot. The speciality peanut dumplings were also ok. We really enjoyed the Chinese broccoli, it was cooked perfectly. We wanted more but had to save some room for the sesame balls! They were delicious! They tasted fresh, were nice and warm and were not too heavy. We literally finished every dish! No leftovers for us! We really enjoyed our dim sum! Yay! and can't wait to come back! ”
