"I tend to only come here for the yumcha around lunch time, though I would say the dinner service in the evenings is also pretty decent. Food is of good quality depending on the time you come. Though I would say one bad thing about this place is the people who dine there, often very loud and yelling."

"It's kind of a hidden gem if you are looking for good traditional chinese restaurant. Prices are decent and food is yum. There are 2 menus which are english and 1 is full of dimsum try to ask for both. It is pretty known to chinese folks, otherwise it is kinda hidden. Overall, it is a good experience to try the food if you are a fan of chinese food :)"
