Casual
Good Chinese food, good value. Good for larger groups. Not a place to take a date.

Fresh
It's a nice place to eat and the food is pretty fresh, if you arrive before 3pm. The bathrooms are not so comfortable and not very clean. It's a down to earth place with tasty food.

Inconsistent, but recently very good
My girlfriend and I used to go to this small dim sum place pretty regularly, but noticed a decline in qualilty in the summer of 2007. We decided to give them another chance this past memorial day weekend (2008) and we're glad we did. The carts were plentiful and we had all our favorites. I don't know if it was because it was very crowded and because it was a holiday weekend though. We'll go again very soon. Terrific and flavorful chicken feet, har gow, shu mai, shrimp noodle, sticky rice etc... The service was efficient and reasonably friendly considering some of the other places in Chinatown. The other places can be very rude and the food seems to disappear in the early afternoon, ie Golden Unicorn, Jing Fong. Anyway give this place a chance, I certainly will again.

Overrated!
This place gets all the pub in the world when looking for dim sum, Zagat's, MenuPages etc. The dim sum is not that good! Very small selection, and even the usual faves (Ha Gow, Shu Mei) were nothing special. Essentially nothing but luke warm, not so tasty Ha Gow! Only two carts circulating while I was there. You can find sooooo much better than this.

great dim sum spot!
This restaurant isn't for anyone looking for atmosphere, its interior is plain, going for function over beauty. However if you're looking for great dim sum at reasonable prices, this is the place for you! Dim sum is served daily until 4, but the pickings get slim as you get close to the 4pm cut off, so get there by 3 to enjoy the best selection. The food is wheeled around on carts and is always fresh with plenty of options. We've been going here for many years and have always left full and very satisfied. I highly recommend it.

Are green peppers a Chinese vegetable?
We had a truly mediocre meal at this over-rated restaurant. Beef, though listed with a hot pepper, was bland and overwhelmed by undercooked green peppers - where are the great looking vegetables you see in the stores on your way to the restaurant? Have you ever even seen a green pepper on the stands? Even ever present broccoli would have been better. Sizzling oysters were gigantic and very unappetizing. Hot and sour soup was excessively vinegary. Nice service though.

Not good dim sum
I was craving dimsum and too lazy to go to flushing so after reading some menupages, citysearch recommendations, I went here. It was extremely noisy and disorganized but the worst was the food. My sticky rice was undercooked and hard (not sticky at all) with no flavors. Shrimp dumpling was totally gross with hard dried out edges. This is usally my favorite and I could barely stand to eat one. Yellow mustard had a funky taste that was really gross. Worst dim sum I had ever!
