In Short – Although the restaurant is relatively small, the dim sum carts still manage to make their way around to all the tables. The straightforward, unpretentious decor--marked by white tablecloths and bright lights--puts the focus on the fresh seafood-oriented menu. The servers tend to speak little or no English, but the bilingual dim sum menus on the table should help. Innovative dishes like sticky rice rolls keep things interesting while the staples like fried turnip cake and shrimp har gow are constant customer favorites. Popular dinner items include shark fin soup and lobster.…

TERRIBLE!

We recently visited this restaurant with another couple for dim sum. The service..terrible. The waiters...rude and perverted! My girlfriend sat across from me and after wondering why the waiter was hovering over her back, I realized he was looking down her blouse! Idiot. I made a comment and I think his English was so poor that he didnt' understand. The food was bad too. The goal of this restaurant seemed to be get them in, get them out. More you jam in, the better. Again..AWFUL experience. The take out that is in the food court for this restaurant isn't any better. If you don't speak chinese, don't be suprised if you are overlooked and those customers who do speak the language will be serviced first. I stood their in line while 6 other customers who came up to the counter was serviced before me! Lousy service, or should I say...NON-existant service! Wouldn't recommend this place to the anyone. Wouldn't be suprised if they lose customers to Hop Li down the street from them as their service is way superior.
- Cons: Poor service, Rude waiters, dim sum too greasy

Would never go back even if paid to eat there

Was totally disappointed by the food and service. Ordered lobster and was told it was 4 pounds but what came out of the kitchen could not have weighed that much and was missing the claws. Was told that some lobsters don't have claws. This was news to me as I have never seen a lobster in other restaurants or at supermarkets not having at least one claw. Secondly, I ordered a whole chicken and was told that they had run out of chickens and this was at 7PM. This is surprising given that they are in the same strip mall as a 99 Ranch Market and could have gotten one if they really ran low. Third, in the kung pao chicken, there were tiny bones in the meat which was a first for me at any restaurant ordering this dish. Finally, the beef and scallions dish had really no taste despite the tenderness of the beef which I have been told is result of restaurants using baking soda to make the meat really tender at the price of losing the beef taste. If I could have, I would have sent all the dishes back to the kitchen to be redone. The only decent dish there was the complimentary pickled cabbage which probably came out of a jar or can so couldn't have been messed up by the chef or help staff. Don't even think about trying this place, it is just not worth the price and there are better ones in the SGV.
- Pros: Parking
- Cons: Lousy food

unpleasant customer services ever!
by Meshi911 at Citysearch
Today I went to tea with one of my friend. She was there first and she've gotten a table, when i stepped into the restaurant, there was a flat short hair girl being VERY rude and impolitely ask how many seat do i want. I already told her that my friend is there for waiting. She seemed "yell ?at me? as I am the customer, I don't deserve to treat like this. With this kind of attidues, she was definitely decreasing the restaurant's economic. Well, I think it is partly the owner's fault that he or she does not know how to train the employees to well treat the customer that lead to this kind of happening. I swear to god, this is the worse restaurant i have ever been to. All the waitress in the restaurant does not have pleasant working attitudes. NOt only the flat short hair auntie that's in the front. Especially the Manager of the restaurant, looks like everyone owes him or something, no smile at all.
- Pros: services
- Cons: attitudes
