Strange how a dim sum place would be here, but it manages to be super packed anyways. The biggest gripe about this place for me is the wait. They didn’t really give us a time to how long it would take before we got a table. After 40 minutes, my grandmother complained that there were a bunch of tables outside not being used. After sufficient complaining, they relented and set up the tables. After that, we set a precedent of other people sitting outside. That was amusing. After that setback though, things went smoothly. They worked fast to accomodate the people outside. We just ordered dim sum since we were outside, so I am not too sure if there are cart pushers. All the dishes were rich and tasty. A dim sum place worth checking out if you are willing to wait. I hear it is booked often for special occassions, adding to the wait. I think I favor NBC dim sum a little bit more, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying this restaurant out.
