    Wow, what an amazing experience! The Valentine’s decorations and ambiance were absolutely stunning. We usually go to this restaurant for dim sum almost every weekend, but this was our first Valentine’s celebration there. The rose was such a sweet surprise for my wife, and the service and food were just as great as always. Exceptional experience! The Valentine’s decoration and ambiance exceeded expectations. We enjoy this restaurant for dim sum almost every weekend but our first Valentines celebration. The rose was unexpected and a nice touch for my wife. Great service and food as always.

    Excellent dining experience in all respects! Server seemed overwhelmed and was perhaps given too many tables to take care of. Other wait staff gladly pitched in to help

    Lovely environment, we felt welcomed and cared for. Appetizers were good, shishitos were flavorful and crunchy! The clam chowder was full of clams and fresh, fish and chips also hit the mark. Tuna salad was ok. We had a lovely birthday celebration and our server Jill made it even better. Positive attitude, knowledgeable about the menu and really great service! Thank you!
