    HUGE wait for dim sum, so get there early to pick up a ticket and then have coffee at the Caribou at the other end of the strip mall. Delicious, cheap, and worth the long line!

    Dim sum till 3! I have to say that this place is really solid. The prices are really reasonable (compared to places in Boston & Quincy). I'll be coming back here!

    Great place for dim sum! Be prepared to wait! The larger the group the longer the wait! Best dim sum I've had anywhere coast to coast!

    very authentic Cantonese-styled braised beef stripe noodles, aka Niu Nan Mien. it's a must-try: different from northern Chinese style noodles and IMO much better !

    Long line for dim sum on the weekends, but their line numbering process is confusing and stressful. Food was great (try the Chinese spare ribs!) but the stress kinda soured the experience.

    On Sunday morning don't mess with the "dim sum number caller", the Chinese guy in the black suit, he's intense.

    The Chinese banquet menu is a great deal. The food is great if you were broight up on real Chinese food and not the Chinese-American food!

    Good food but there was a waitress and a waiter who were extremely rude to my family. We wanted to ask if there was a certain kind of dim sum but they ended up insulting us.

    WORST DIMSUM EVER. Turnip cake was mush. Pork buns were soggy. Gan cao niu he had no flavor and also, yuck. And Chinese broccoli? HOW DO YOU MESS UP CHINESE BROCCOLI? Why does this place have a line?!

    Make sure you tell them before hand that you want the lunch menu, or they will charge your waiter the difference! Great food but horrible business principles. I feel sorry for their staff.

    The Sweet & Sour Chicken is great but ask for extra sauce if you're ordering to go. They only give you a small cup with your order.
