Fried scallop with Portuguese sauce (3 pieces for $7.25) – unusual dish that tasted alright. Deep fried dumping filled with mashed and diced taro and scallop pieces; not more 1 diced scallop per dumpling. 3 out of 5 rating.2. Steamed pork shiu mai (4 pieces for $7.25) – very average dish that is extremely over priced. 2.75 out of 5 rating.3.

We ate brunch together with my brother-in-law's family in Shiang Garden. He said that this place is good and he said I had to try it. The place is situated inside a building and we had to use an elevator to go to it. We were happy because we were seated in a bigger table by a restaurant staff because there were still few people. The restaurant is clean and well-lighted. Of course the food was tasty and good, it was delicious! Our orders were promptly taken and served. I was happy with the meal and I will recommend the restaurant for good food.

The teenage kids love this place and the dim sum are good but only not enough hot with some stream dim sum (they're fresh) maybe the kitchen is too far or not enough waitress to take care of the dishes ! And I found the big kids really enjoy the foods there
