Good food good value which is currently an oxymoron in NYC. Unlike most Chinese restaurants the dim sum dumplings are overflowing with filling, instead of just dough w some filling

The beef in the beef dish we ordered was not good quality beef. The corn chowder chicken soup was ok. We liked the service and the decor is attractive.
