In Short – With a second-story mini-mall location, this Westside dim sum destination is sunny by day, cozy by night, and always an intimate respite from the clamoring banquet halls of the San Gabriel Valley. Diners might rub elbows with Hong Kong stars like Chow Yun Fat and John Woo drawn by the authentic Chinese menu. Dim sum offers a variety of dumplings--chicken and spinach, scallop, taro and a myriad of shrimp variations--and the popular fried shrimp on wooden skewers.

WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD BEFORE
by Daniel Koo at Citysearch
I went there on Saturday. It was not crowded or busy at all so that I could get a seat really quick. The manager didn't seem nice, he was definitely an angry person. He yelled at me when I tried to get the food server attention.
Also, the waiter Samson/Simon (I forgot his name, the handwriting on the "card" was so bad) was ridiculously RUDE. I first ordered a regular coke, but he mistakenly gave me a diet one. I asked him to change it for me. Instead of apologizing for his mistake, he showed a bad face and refused to change it for me. Later, he sent the busboy to serve me another coke. Also, when I tried to order something from the menu, he was IMPATIENT to explain the ingredients of the dish.
One more thing, I complained that the cup was dirty and requested a change. Guess what, he took the cup and whisper in Chinese, "HE IS TROUBLESOME" (Obviously, he didn't realize that I could understand Chinese). I believe lots of customers got the verbal abuse, but they just didn't know what he was speaking. Anyway, at that time, there were not many customers, he was not in rush, why did they treat a customer without manner.
Food is just ok, but the service is extremely BAD. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND if you want to eat comfortably and you want some respect as a customer. And I will never dine in there again. NEVER!
- Pros: You don't need to wait too long to be seated
- Cons: Dirty, Bad Service, Rude

Great Place for Dim Sum
by Galanga at Citysearch
I like this place and I truly enjoy the dim sum. Their service is decent. It's a great spot to go out for lunch and it gets pretty crowded especially on the weekends. I have had dinner there a few times and they are quite delicious. I love their Shrimp Walnut and Sizzling Mongolian Beef. Yum!!!!
