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.

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!!!!

I went to VIP for lunch over the Christmas holidays with two other people. The food was okay but the service was the worst I've ever received. The waiter acted like we were only there to bother him (not like the place was that busy, 85% of the tables were open), he overcharged us on on bill by almost ten dollars for extra soft drinks that we didn't order. When I brought it to his attention he acted mad that I scrutinized my bill. Once we got our food he never came back to the table to make sure that things were satisfactory. I definitely would not recommend this place for service, but do recommend it for decent food. Next time, I'll take my order to go.

We had a disgusting and disappointing experience with VIP today. Disgusting because one of the dim sum dishes we?d chosen had human hair in the sauce. Management opted not to charge us for the dish but wouldn?t take it from our table. Later, when we asked to check the bill to verify the non-charge, the waiter sarcastically thanked us for reminding him to include tea in the bill. He came back with a slightly increased bill, and we laughed it off. As we were getting up to leave, he dropped by our table and again unnervingly emphasized: ?Thank you for reminding me to charge you for tea!? We understand that VIP did not like our complaint about hair in its food and with all of its Sunday customers, had no interest in retaining new ones. This waiter?s attitude convinced us that management was indifferent to hygienic presentation and courteous delivery of the so-so food there.
