Sunday morning like 10:30 is good time to go. After that, literally a lot of people starts to come. To get a table and be seated, all people have to be there.

Veeeeery Chinese indeed! Fun to have lunch in a so genuine place!!!! Of course you have to wait, but they are well organized

Tops for dim sum — shrimp dumplings , port buns , sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, and other dishes on carts that waiters roll right up to your table. Located on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

sauteed egg yolk buns , steamed bean curd rolls, sesame rolls, dau fu fa with ginger-infused honey .

Plenty of pictures and names on the carts . Food can be inconsistent. When it's good, it's amazing. However, I have gone on off-days. I've never had to wait for 2 people.

Get there early and avid the crowds who are there for a superb variety of dim sum delights. End the meal with a durian-stiffed pastry or bitter melon balls.

Turnip cake (made from Chinese radish and rice flour ) makes the meal unique. They usually run out by noon, so request them as soon as you sit down! Read more
