This is a great neighborhood Dim Sum place, with a medium sized dim sum menu plus a full assortment of tradition American Chinese restaurant dishes for the less adventurous.

Meals come with a delicious pot of jasmine black tea, and lunch specials are very reasonably priced.

We sampled a variety of Dim Sum. The pot stickers, green chive dumplings, and crabmeat wrap with seaweed were standouts.

Food came from the kitchen quickly and piping hot. They also do a LOT of carry out business.

I admit I’m not a huge bao fan, so I wasn’t expecting to love the food here, and I didn’t. I felt the bao was mostly heavy-handed and thick, with little filling. But it was, indeed, very cute, which is really the reason to go here.

Service was friendly, and the place (once you find it) is fairly spacious.

This is probably the most nicely decorated and modern restaurant in Chinatown. It’s populated mostly by locals, not tourists, so you know you are going to get a very authentic experience. Fortunately there is an extensive pictorial menu, so you can get a pretty good idea of all the dishes before you order.

Be aware that this is real Chinese food and dimsum, not the variety served at the Chinese restaurant in the mall. As such, many of the items are going to be more gelatinous than you are used to, so examine the pictures carefully. Crepes, for example, are not what you think they are.

Of all the things we tried, we liked the Siu Mai (pork and shrimp dumplings) the best.

At lunch time, the dim sum is very reasonably priced. We left stuffed for under $30 for two of us.

Pretty much average Chinese food, which is a bit disappointing given its location in Chinatown, but perhaps it is too close to the tourist corridor. Chow mein included an oddly large amount of noodles turing it almost into lo mein. The lamb ribs were very fatty. Best bet is the pot stickers and the onion pancake.
