Delicious Dim Sum and Welcoming Staff
I was in the area with a hungry stomach needing breakfast. I've passed by this place many times, both when it was the old establishment and now. Upon arrival, there was a line out the door, but as a patient person, this did not bother me. They offer many different delicious dim sum dishes, including siu mai, ha gow, steamed chicken feet, and steamed spareribs, among others. They also have a variety of steamed or baked buns, like the famous pork bun. For those really hungry, there's a rice plate special where you can choose 3 entrees with steamed white rice for a fair cost. Next to their steamed table, they have fried goods such as egg rolls, fried shrimp puffs, and Chinese doughnuts. Lastly, they offer frozen foods to cook at home. The staff here are very welcoming, well-trained, and understanding, which made my visit a satisfying one. This place is cash and takeout only, so please plan accordingly. I highly recommend this place to anyone on a limited time, to all Chinese food enthusiasts, and if you just happen to be in the area. I will definitely be back to try out the other delicious options they have to offer.

Solid Dim Sum Takeout Option
My experience at this restaurant was for a takeout dim sum. The food was quite good, with the sticky rice and shumai being particular highlights. The prices were reasonable for the size of the dim sum pieces. The service was very quick, though there might be some language barriers, but pointing works. They package the food efficiently, ensuring a quick exit. The main drawbacks were that it's CASH ONLY and parking is very limited, with no seating available as it's set up cafeteria-style. Overall, if you have cash and are looking for a dim sum takeout place, this is a solid option!

Great Dim Sum To Go
My experience at this restaurant was great for getting dim sum to go. Pretty much everything there is good. My kids really like their beef crepes. Also, you must try their spicy fried chicken wings. The place only takes cash, and the line is usually pretty long, with an average wait of about 20-30 minutes. The place opens pretty early at 7 am, and usually, there are 1 or 2 people in line before 8 am.

Good Dim Sum, Long Wait
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The dim sums were good, but not good enough to justify a 30-minute wait in line. The service was very slow.

Must-try fried chicken!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend getting the fried chicken, but be sure to go early as they tend to run out. You can thank me later!

Best Takeout Dim Sum in the Bay!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for takeout dim sum. I highly recommend their Siu Mai; it's so good you'll fall in love! The Ha Gow is also a must-try. The food quality is excellent, earning a perfect 5/5. Service and atmosphere were also great, both rated 4/4. For lunch, the price per person is reasonable at $10–20.

Decent Dim Sum, Be Prepared to Wait
This is a typically Chinese food/dim sum takeout place. There’s always a line outside. I waited in line and got some dim sums. The foods and the prices were pretty decent compared to some popular dim sum restaurants. There’s a phone number posted for takeout. I tried the number several times on a Saturday but no answer. So if you are planning to get food from this place, be prepared to wait in-line.

Great Dim Sum Takeout & Lunch Specials
My experience at this restaurant was great for take-out dim sum and their lunch special, which includes rice or noodles with two additional items. There's always a line in the early afternoon and on weekend mornings, indicating its popularity. The prices are very reasonably priced, but it's important to note that it's cash only.

Disappointing Dim Sum Experience
I decided to try this place after noticing a consistent queue outside. The experience was mixed. While the siu mai and cilantro shrimp dumpling were just okay, the pork bun was a letdown – tiny, with dry meat and overly sweet sauce. The service was also a negative point, as the woman taking my order was rude. It's important to note that this establishment is cash only.
